nAt the mansion of the isolated island within the Cloud Empire.

nAfter Verte, this wind spirit king came over as a guest the conversation between the group had turned sour in the middle which caused Eirwen's low mood. He had to leave the guest to Adrienne's care while Lucien had taken him back to their room to rest.

nAfterward, Adrienne had ordered Neige to entertain the guest as he was left behind in the living room together with his subordinate, Araysh. According to the words of his lover, he remembered hearing that aside from him Araysh and Neige were no longer the original people he knew before. But for some reason, neither he nor Lucien had noticed that the one in their right-hand man's vessel is no longer the original person.

nHe stares at Araysh who instantly lowered his head preventing himself from meeting his lord's eyes. He had always been like this, as someone who serves someone who is a lot stronger than you are, in their original world even within the Nether System no one would dare to meet the Lord God's eyes. Only Lord An Liang is able to, as he is the lord god's shadow himself.

nAll prisoners were brought to the Nether System without any right as a living person, while wardens were servants who served the system. The only ones who can be said to be the Lord God's subordinates are high-ranking Executioners and recorders who work in the Nether System like An Liang and Zhi Yue.

nAmong the wardens, there are those who were promoted to serve the Lord God as his guards, Lou Ye is one of them and he is the strongest among all the wardens which is why his restrictions were freer than the rest of the wardens. He had met Ye Xiajie for six worlds but his milord had never once spoken to him about his biased actions towards prisoner Yun Ming.

nIf it was the usual Lord God he would have longed demoted from being a warden to just a mere prison guard. But thanks to Lord Hei's vague relationship with Prisoner Yun Ming, his lord had turned a blind eye to his actions. But now facing this Lord God with a split soul and no memories made it even harder to serve than the usual lord.

nAdrienne is observing Araysh who kept his head down as always and remained like that like before. He still couldn't see the difference between the former Araysh to the current one.

n

"Are you really not the original Araysh who used to serve us?

" asked Adrienne.

nHe waited for an answer but didn't hear a thing as usual. He needs to give him permission to speak as before.

nAdrienne sighed and said,

"Answer this Lord's question. Can't you act as you originally do? You are no longer the original Araysh anyway.

"

n

"Answering to the lord. This one had always spoken like this. I am forbidden to speak with the lord regardless of where and when without permission. This is regardless of whether the lord has his memories or not. This little one is just a mere subordinate who had no right to speak with the lord god without permission.

" replied Araysh.

n

"Are you saying that the original me wouldn't even speak like this with you and treat you like I always do?

" asked Adrienne.

nAraysh didn't speak and only nodded his head once. He had never once lifted his head to meet Adrienne's eyes and kept his head lower in an extremely servile manner.

nAdrienne says,

"I give you permission to speak. Just answer this lord's question with honesty. You know the real identity of Eira... I mean my wife, Hei Anjing? Tell me everything you know about my wife and the real us.

"

n

"Yes, My Lord. Anyone from the world we came from knew the identity of Lord Hei. He is one of the high-ranking people in the world we came from. Venerable Lord Hei's identity is the Young Lord of Mo Family. Mo Family is a royal family which is connected to the Origin God of all realms through marriage.

nThe Mo Family is a special clan whose origin is unknown. Just like the existence of the Origin God, Siwang, Mo Clan is a family not created by the origin god himself but the realms instead. They are a unique existence.

nVenerable Lord Hei is the only son of the eldest young prince of the Mo Family. He has the bloodline of Mo and Hei Clans. His original title is... God of Destruction. One of the most powerful notorious Gods in all realms.

"

nAdrienne asked,

"He is someone that important?

"

n

"Yes, my lord. Lord Hei is a great existence,

" answered Araysh.

n

"Continue.

"

n

"Yes. The highest realm in all realms is called Vearth. It is a special world created by the God of Origin himself. He also lives in that realm and only beings with a strength of Celestiality and Immortality could leave there. Connected to it is an independent space called the God System. This is the centralized dimension for all Gods of all realms. Gods who reached ascension in their own worlds would come to this place. Either to work, look for a job or make points which can be exchanged for the resources which would help them increase their strength further.

nIn the God System, the deities, saints, or demigods could get a work or a mission. Most beings who enter the God System only have one thing in mind, which is to increase their cultivation and dream to live in Vearth which is the highest realm.

"

n

"How about us (Lucien and Adrienne)?

"

nAraysh hesitated to speak for a moment,

"About the milord, this little one only knew some knowledge but I don't think this one knows everything. Only Lord An who is milord's friend might know.

"

nAdrienne,

"And this Lord An you were talking about, where is he?

"

n

"Since Milord is out, Lord An is staying at the Nether System to take over while Milord is away.

"

n

"And this Nether System is?

"

n

"The Nether System is a subsystem of the God System. It is an independent space for Gods who had violated the Divine Rules created by the Origin God himself. Those forbidden actions which could cause the stabilization of all realms to collapse are hindered by the Divine Laws.

nExamples of these actions are... Telling lower beings about the existence of the higher realms, forcefully matching other people's fate for their own gains, or killing gods for irrational reasons such as stealing someone's cultivation or taking over someone's identity.

nMost of all there are lots of fallen gods who could be helped by breaking the laws by killing the others for their own gains were called destroyers. In the God System, there is an occupation called Executioner, people who have this title were allowed to kill those destroyers and most of the Executioners were strong immortals, especially the ones ranked first.

"

nAdrienne asked,

"Who is the ranked first Executioner in all realms?

"

n

"Milord, that would be your wife,

" answered Araysh.

n

"Eh?

" Taken aback in shock, Adrienne asked once again.

"Could you repeat that?

"

nAraysh followed his lord's command and said,

"The Strongest Executioner in all realms is your wife, the young lord of Mo family. Venerable Lord Hei.

"

n

"I see,

" said Adrienne but Araysh had noticed his lord's slightly twitching fingers which he immediately calmed down.

"Talk about us. I already knew about the Nether System my wife told me about before.

"

n

"This one only knows that the milord is the Lord God of the Nether System. You are the only disciple of the God of Punishment which is also Lord Hei's father. They were the only ones who brought you over to lead the subsystem with Lord An. That's all this one knows.

nAs of the Lord God's origin and your identity, this Lou Ye doesn't know a thing. But... A few hundred years ago when the Lord God had left for a vacation, you had returned in the Nether System with an injured soul. The Lord God had left your vessel to slumber in order to heal and Lord An temporarily took over your position as the Lord God of the Nether System.

nThis one was the task to look after Prisoner Yun and at the same time to follow milord to his journey of healing your soul. This subordinate only heard that someone else was looking for milord's soul fragments and didn't know that it was Lord Hei who was doing this task until we bump on him in that modern world.

" answered Araysh.

nAdrienne murmured,

"You don't know my origin and whether I have a hidden identity?

"

n

"My Lord, have you tried asking Lord Hei about this?

" asked Araysh.

n

"He told me that I would remember everything when my soul is complete. But he doesn't tell me anything aside from what the others know,

" said Adrienne.

"Enough. You may go. Tell Neige that the guest can speak with Eira again tomorrow after breakfast.

"

n

"Yes, my lord. Please excuse me,

" said Araysh as he took his leave. On his way to meet his lover, Neige, Araysh had fallen into his deep thoughts.

n'Obviously, Lord Hei is keeping things secret when he already knew everything. Moreover, that time when the Lord God had returned injured with Lord An, Lord An had said that everything was Lord Hei's fault. I also believe that until Zhi Yue had brought over the details of what happened to the Lord God.

nAccording to the reports the Lord God and Lord An got involved with Lord Hei's mission and the task is one as an Executioner. It was said that Lord Hei's target at that time was the prince of the Ye Gui Race. This race used to be a noble one as they possessed the direct liege of the Origin God's blessing until they revolted. The propaganda of this race is to destroy the God System and eliminate any Bloodline of Mo.

nThe result of this mission is a failure. This is the only failure in Executioner Lord Hei's record. Lord An and Lord God who were on vacation in their original world at that time had gotten involved in it as the God of Destruction chose to obliterate that world in order to remove any chance of the Ye Gui race taking refugees in that world.

nThat's what I've heard but... For some reason, the records about that incident are fishy themselves. Not only Lord Hei was involved in it, it was said that even the Hei Clan and Sovereign God Hei were also there. Just what the hell really happened there?' Thoughts of Araysh.

n---

nMeanwhile at the temple in the Divine Plane. Avel is raging in anger as the Water Mirror shows nothing about Avel's current situation and even their connection was cut off from the other side. Based on how he cannot contact Avel, the latter must have gotten caught.

nAvel threw the glass of wine in his hands to the ground. The sound of breaking glass can be heard in the area. His ragged breathing caused by his distorted mood also echoes within the empty courtyard.

nRemembering the face of Araysh before his connection with his subordinate was cut off his anger intensifies more. Once he saw the water pixies from the reflection of the Water Mirror he knew that Mayim's current location is known by those people.

n

"They must have known where Mayim is. No! They must be hiding Mayim and Neige from me! It must be Araysh who told Adrienne and Lucien about it!!! They are helping him hide them from me!! SHIT!

" uttered Avel on his own as his thoughts were all spoken out by his own mouth.

nAfter a while, the raging flames of hatred and anger within Avel's heart had slightly fallen under control. He started to thinking rationally.

n

"If I remember right. That place Verte had gone to is a human territory called Cloud Empire, was it. As long as I don't directly get involved those gods wouldn't as well. Then... Let's just destroy that little empire by using those demons and fallen races instead.

"

nAn evil smirk appeared in the corner of his hand and used the water mirror to show the situation within the authorities of the two races. He made a clone of himself and appeared before the Demon Lord and Leader of the Fallen Race.

nAvel's message to the Demon and Fallen Races.

n

"Listen! I'm the new Sovereign God of Aerd, Avel. The former God of Darkness had abandoned you his children because of his love for a mortal called Eirwen Night. Right now all the gods in the divine realm are gone. Only I Avel was left to serve as the Sovereign.

nChildren listen to this lord's words. The Light God and Dark God had descended in the mortal realm for their human lover. They had abandoned their responsibility and all their people for love.

nNow, the world has fallen into chaos. The reason for this is because of the human named Eirwen Night. Only by killing him that the calamity would end.

"

nThese were the contents of his message but he had only sent it to the races which live in Abyss incurring the anger of the dark faction race. This incited their hatred for the humanoid races more and decided to launch a war to show their fury.

nMeanwhile, the instigator of this event is laughing alone in the divine temple as he watches a play he had stayed himself in.

nAvel murmured with a smile,

"Let's see how long you can stop involving yourself in the problems of the mortal plane. The moment you broke the rules, this lord would be able to come down by the orders of Heaven's will and eliminate you bastards all together.

"
