Dream Realm.

This is an independent realm that is under the God of Dreams. Thanks to the connection of Xia Jieye to the new God of Dreams, he was able to control Warden Lou’s dreams and show him his past life and let him once again experience what happened in his past life. Though helping his subordinate is just a side case, his main case is bringing nightmares to his other self for making their beloved cry.

Xia Jieye spoke, “Stay here and experience your past life. You will wake up in reality after you have seen everything that needs to be. Your connection with that child called Ming has been longer than you think.”

He disappeared in thin air as he did before. Lou Wuye had no other choice but to undergo the events that would happen in this dream. He could still recall the blushing face of that child named Lou Ming just now. Since he couldn’t leave this dungeon, he can only stay for now. He wouldn’t die in this place anyway.

Closing his eyes to rest, Lou Wuye meditates. As this is nothing but a dream, he had nothing to fear even if he fell asleep in this place. On the other hand, Lou Ming who ran out of the water dungeon was holding his face with an embarrassed look, his cheeks were flushed red as he could still recall the warmth that touched him just now.

Lou Ming murmured, “D-Did the Master just hug me? I am not dreaming, aren’t I? What happened to the Master? Yesterday, he was so angry that he was ignoring me when I visited him last night. Maybe I shouldn’t have informed the Young Master Ye Mo about the Master’s attempt to leave the clan but… I don’t want him to leave. Can’t he just stay on this planet with me?”

His steps were heavy as he remembered that he was a person who had already betrayed his master for his own selfishness.

The Great Elder had always been a detached person. Except for the person he adores, which is the god of Void, he treats the rest equally. He is a cold person by nature and he had no attachment to their race at all. If not because the creator had pointed him out as to become a great elder of Ye Gui Race he wouldn’t stay with them at all.

That evening, during the time for dinner. Lou Ming came to the Water dungeon once again to bring food to his master. He knew that no one would be bringing him food as most people who have been thrown by their clan to the water dungeon are people who were either traitors, enemies, or criminals.

The great elder hadn’t done anything wrong towards their race. His only wrong is that he was against betraying their creator. He had gone against every elder and even the current leader’s decision. It was because of this that he was imprisoned. The others were afraid that he would tattle to the God of Void about their race decision.

When he informed the Young Master that day, he didn’t expect that his master would receive whips from the clan. He was only supposed to be House arrested in his own estate but he had to tell someone that his master was planning to leave. This is how the Grand elder ended up in such a state.

Lou Ming was so afraid that his master would kill him if he saw him this morning. Who would have expected that his master would change and suddenly treat him kindly more than before? He even called him Ming’er. As a mere servant that even lost his Master’s protection, Lou Ming’s life becomes hard. He couldn’t even prepare some food for his master as he is now treated as a traitor of the clan. He had to steal food for his master and had been beaten up for it multiple times but Lou Ming didn’t stop stealing food for himself and his master.

Tonight is still good. He was able to steal some bread and soup when the chef left the kitchen when he was summoned by someone. Lou Ming secretly carried the food over to the water dungeon and once again visited his master. When he arrived, he saw Lou Wuye hanging by the chain in his hand and his head lowered with his eyes closed.

“Master?” calls Lou Ming.

Lou Ming thought something happened to his master and panicked at this sight. The food he was carrying within his hand was almost wasted. Thankfully he caught it before it fell in the water. He could only remove his outer robe and cover some rock where he could place the bread and soup down. Then he entered the water to check on his master.

“Master? Master, are you okay? Please open your eyes. Ming’er was wrong. I shouldn’t have told the Young Lord about the Master’s plan to leave the clan. I… I was afraid you would leave Ming’er here alone. Ming’er just wants to stay by your side. Boohoo~” said Lou Ming as he hugged his master.

Without him knowing, Lou Wuye had only closed his eyes to meditate. There are some fragments of shattered memories in his soul domain. He entered his domain to look through those memories and learned what this Great Elder did for him to be thrown in this place.

The memories he had digested show a scene in the Clan’s meeting place. Some elders were summoned back like him by their current leader of the Ye Gui race. What’s surprising is that this current leader of the Ye Gui race had some similar features with his Lord God. Though only a little bit, those almond-shaped eyes were like their Lord’s.

He watched the scene in the room. They were planning to kill their creator, the God of Void, Xia Jieye. This Xia Jieye is that person who looks exactly the same as his Lord God Ye Xiajie except for his crimson eyes. They definitely possessed the same face and one wouldn’t be wronged if they told someone that those two are twins. But he now knew that the God of Void and his Lord God are one person.

It just happened that the God of Void is his past self while the Lord God is his second life. But there is another reason why the original Ye Wuye was so against their race going after the life of their creator. Unlike the others from his clan, he had a child on his side he wanted to protect. If he indeed helped them kill the God of Void there is no way they wouldn’t die afterward.

No one else might think about the other Ruler God Shen Siwang. Everyone knew that the God of Origin and the God of Void never get along with each other. But a grand elder who was appointed by the God of Void himself, he knew that the relationship between the two ruler gods was close. They treated each other as brothers. If the Ye Gui race successfully killed the God of Void, there is no way their lives would be spared.

The people of the Ye Gui race are born selfish. They would never care for someone else except their own lives. He is a mutation because he had taken someone under his wings by whims that time the child called Lou Ming to become an existence that is important to him.

He was afraid of getting this child involved, he might be emotionless towards other people but only this child, he treats more important than his life. He didn’t know why this happened. It is just that spending a life with someone by your side is much more satisfying than being alone. He wasn’t ambitious like other elders or greedy like the Young Master of their race.

He was even so lazy to get involved with their Clan’s affairs but… Things that might endanger that child were his landmine. After the clan meeting had ended, the great elder was not planning on getting involved further with the clan. His original plan is to make preparations for him and Lou Ming to leave this planet while the others are busy plotting against the life of the God of Void.

But who would have expected that he would witness Ye Mo pulling a familiar-looking artifact that only the God of Void possessed? The Book of Life and Death. A divine artifact that could control everything including the death of anyone recorded in it. Obviously, everyone in Vearth and the Ye Gui Race is listed on it. This includes his name and that child.

Because of this, he hastens his plans to leave the place. Just when he was planning to tell his servant Lou Ming about their departure, he never expected to be betrayed by his most important person in the end. When Ye Mo appeared in his estate with a few elders and his servant, Lou Ming lowered his gaze, avoiding his gaze. He knew that the kid might have gone to the other side

He was dragged out like a criminal as he was being treated as a traitor. He suffered torture and got whipped as punishment and in the end, got imprisoned in the water dungeon. With his qi restrained by soul chains, he couldn’t even escape. His compatibility with fire elements was stripped as he was drenched in the icy pool. He would sooner or later become a mortal and die in the end.

But the Great Elder never once blames Lou Ming. He knew that the child might have misunderstood his actions. They had never shared a long conversation before except for greeting and eating together. Thought that life is satisfying there would be a misunderstanding if people don’t talk with each other. This led to their current situation.

As he sees the memories and emotions left by the Grand Elder in his domain, Warden Lou finally understands why he woke up in such a place. He was busy meditating when he heard someone talking to him. A sudden warmth envelopes his neck and heard words as if pleading with him. He heard what Lou Ming had said to him and the last heavy feeling in his heart lifted upon hearing this child’s side.

He slowly opened his eyes and smiled, “Fool. I was never planning on leaving you here alone. The preparation I made is to get both of us out of this world and live somewhere in a low-tier world. I will be comforted as long as you are with me. This race is much crueler than the devils. They would definitely kill you if something happens to me. Ming’er you should escape.

In our estate, in my bedroom. There is a secret treasure box behind the ink painting. Get some cash and the teleportation talisman I’ve prepared. Leave this place before anything else happens. This race wouldn’t end well regardless of whether their plan was successful or not. Even if they killed the God of Void, there is still the God of Origin, he would never forgive our race at all.” said Lou Wuye.

His words were what the Grand Elder had always wanted to convey to this child. Since he was already captured, he knew that he couldn’t escape with the boy anymore. He could only ask him to leave while it is not too late.

Lou Ming isn’t a fool. After hearing what his master had said he knew that he had misunderstood his actions from before. He was indeed planning on leaving this damn place but he wasn’t leaving here alone. Why didn’t he ask his master before he jumped to conclusions? He made his beloved master suffer and end in this state. Just thinking how stupid he is, Liu Ming couldn’t stop his tears from falling once again. This time it wasn’t silent tears but a wail as if wanting to ease the pain in his heart.

He was wrong and this was his fault.
