Hearing Shen Siwang’s explanation made Ye Xiajie realize Hei Anjing’s unexpected reaction to the world of the beastman. The unforeseen event of his wife crying from immense joy when they had Ye Jingxia. After his brother told him about the situation of the Mo Family he finally understood his wife’s feelings at that time. Their son, Ye Jingxia, is indeed a miracle given to them.

The corner of Ye Xiajie’s lips slightly curled and his eyes turned gentle at the thought of his wife and son’s faces.

“No, I understand the reason for my wife’s tears at that moment. Xiao Jing is indeed the miracle of both our love.”

Shen Siwang said, “Actually, there isn’t any precedent but… I and Baojun believe that it is more probable to have children born in lower worlds. The divine laws on Vearth are too strong and the existence of special beings like us was under control.”

“What do you mean?” asked Ye Xiajie.

Shen Siwang said, “After Xiao Jing’er’s birth, Hei Sian and Brother Mo Yue could no longer have any children no matter what they did. It was more surprising that you had one while you were outside Vearth so I think it is possible for the Mo Family to create children outside of Vearth more specifically… Making children in the lower world is higher than making one in Vearth. My sons weren’t born in Vearth as well,” said Shen Siwang.

Ye Xiajie said, “Are you serious?”

“I said maybe. Why don’t you try it with Xiao Jing’er next time?” said Shen Siwang with a teasing smile.

Tsk!

“Wipe off that smile. It makes me want to beat you up,” said Ye Xiajie.

Shen Siwang said, “Come on~ it’s a good suggestion right?”

“Shut up.”

Hahaha~

Ye Xiajie said, “I want to see my son. Is it okay for me to leave the Netherworld?”

“As long as you don’t leave Vearth then anything is fine,” said Shen Siwang.

“That’s good then. I’m going to look for Xiao Jing,” said Ye Xiajie as he stood up from his throne and used darkness to teleport to where his son was. 𝙚𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝙜

Shen Siwang said, “Let me accompany you then.”

Seeing this as Ye Xiajie’s observer Shen Siwang had also disappeared with him. But unlike Ye Xiajie his medium is light instead of darkness.

While Shen Siwang decided to keep his brother busy, his wife, Mo Baojun who had left before had gone to the place where he can meet with the Origin.

—

In a secret land of cloud, sun, and moon.

The surroundings of this area had always been filled with tangible clouds. There is nothing in this place except for a cluster of clouds in the shape of a temple. Mo Baojun with his usual deadpan face entered the temple of clouds and saw an empty throne at the center. He stared at it expressionlessly and clasped his hand in greeting.

“Mo Baojun of the Mo Clan greets the Origin.”

No one knew why Mo Baojun was taking an empty throne when suddenly a streak of light fell down from above the throne and a figure made from light appeared sitting on the chair in the middle.

The Origin at the throne spoke, “Issue, wherefore has’t thee cometh h’re to visiteth me?”

Translation: Child, why have you come here to visit me?

Mo Baojun replied, “This one had a question to ask the Origin about the young one from this one’s clan. I would like to ask the Origin something that confuses me about Hei Anjing’s birth.”

The Origin spoke, “Thee did want to asketh about the peculiarity of yond issue’s relationship with the god of darkness?”

Translation: You wanted to ask about the peculiarity of that child’s relationship with the God of Darkness?

Mo Baojun answered, “Yes.”

The Origin answered his question but what Mo Baojun heard was something even he didn’t expect.

“Yond issue’s past life is ‘riginally in the same gen’ration of the god of darkness. In the life that gent is hath called Hei Anjing is consid’r’d as his second life. Liketh how Ye Xiajie is the second life of Xia Jieye.”

Translation: That child’s past life is originally in the same generation as the God of Darkness. In his life he is called Hei Anjing is considered his second life. Like how Ye Xiajie is the second life of Xia Jieye.

Mo Baojun was stunned by what he heard as his cold face cracked at this moment.

He exclaimed, “What!?”

The Origin spoke once again, “As f’r the first life of this issue nam’d Hei Anjing, only the endeth kneweth m’re about t. But the ‘riginal Xia Jieye shouldst eke knoweth who is’t that gent wast sadly his mem’ries art damageth at which hour that gent f’rcefully hath left abyss to seeth Shen Siwang.”

Translation: As for the first life of this child named Hei Anjing, only the End knew more about it. But the original Xia Jieye should also know who he was, sadly his memories are damaged when he forcefully left Abyss to see Shen Siwang.

“Yond’s all I can bid for thee, issue. Thee shouldst leaveth.”

Translation: That’s all I can tell you, Child. You should leave.

Before Mo Baojun could react, the figure made of light disappeared into thin air. No one knew where the Origin had once again disappeared to. He was still shocked by what he learned about his beloved nephew.

Mo Baojun muttered, “Jing’er had a past life before he was born as Hei Anjing. Doesn’t that mean his existence is as unique as the Mo Ancestor, the God of light and the God of Darkness? Should I look for the End? But that being never answers a call from an Apostle that answers to the Origin as I and Siwang do. I should get that bastard (Ye Xiajie) to look for the End himself.”

“Or ask dad about our ancestors. Maybe he knew something that only the Origin and the End would know.”

After his conversation with the Origin had finished, Mo Baojun left the secret land and went back to where his husband was. Only learn that the two brothers left the Netherworld to visit his Grand nephew, Ye Jingxia.

Meanwhile, in the next world where Hei Anjing’s fading soul was pulled, he woke up in an unknown place.

Immortal Realm. Purgatory.

Inside Hell Realm, with his limbs bounded with black chains, surrounded by the picturesque of death and blood. Suffering the 108 punishments within purgatory, Anjing suffered the cycle of endless torture and unhuman, Within that millennia, he underwent the penalty of being skinned awake, smashed to meat paste, limbs cut to thousand pieces, burned alive, cooked awake, and more. This cycle of 108 punishment of hell were all experienced by Hei Anjing.

This was the scene Hei Anjing woke up to. His soul was restricted and weakened to the point he couldn’t even destroy the chains on him.

Hei Anjing’s eyelashes slowly flutter like butterfly wings. He was surprised by the world he is in.

“This place is… Looks similar to our Netherworld yet… Not at the same time… I wonder who I am in this world. Neither Yue nor Yang was with me. I have to retrieve this vessel’s memories first,” murmured Hei Anjing before once again closing his eyes.

Unfortunately, incomplete memories were given to him only superficial information had come into his mind and the world plot replaced those missing memories instead.

Hei Anjing’s thoughts, ‘Some parts of my memories are missing. Did someone seal it again?’

He had no other choice but to see the world plot instead of understanding his situation.

The world plot appeared in his mind:

World Plot: This star is one of the few SS-ranked Cultivation World. This world is divided into three parts: The Heavenly Domains which were ruled by Gods and the land considered as the upper realm or immortal realm by the humans. Second is the land of humans, the Mortal Realm where humans and ordinary beings lived. Lastly is the Inferno or the Infernal Realm. This is the land of Sin where demons, devils, and dirty beings exist.

Inferno (Infernal Realm) in this place is the Devil who is able to contend against the immortals of the Heavenly Realm. They hated all Gods and Goddesses for imprisoning them in the land of death and fire. A few devils escape from here and they treat mortals as food. This is the reason Immortals do not like them. They are beings of order. They had the duty to protect mortals to keep the balance of the world.

Mortal realm is as it suggests. This is the land of human beings. Humans are divided into two. Ordinary mortals and Cultivating Mortals. The former are people who live with a limited life span. They would only exist for 100 years before their soul returns to the reincarnation pool to be reborn. Of course, they could only enter that pool if the God of Judgement deemed them righteous if they weren’t they would be given to the God of Punishment and would need to repent in Purgatory, the land of torture. 1 year in the mortal world is 100 years inside the Purgatory and 10 years in the Heavenly Realm.

The Heavenly Palace governs both the Immortals and Mortals. Only the Immortal Emperor can sit on the throne. They allowed Deities who ascend to Godhood to reside in the Upper Realms and those people who call themselves cultivators in the mortal realms were a bunch of mortals who had this chance of ascension. They keep the order of the two realms. Bestow punishment and judgment to both Gods and Mortals. Even the Reincarnation Pool exists only in the Upper Realm. In this place, the most powerful being was surnamed Hei. They are the bloodline of the current Immortal Emperor.

The Regal Clan of Hei. The Hei Family consists of a few powerful Gods and Goddesses in the whole world. The Immortal Emperor is one and the Immortal Empress is the second. The Emperor is the embodiment of Order while the Empress is the embodiment of love and virtue. These couples had two sons. The Eldest King is the God of War and his other half is the God of Reincarnation. They control the military power and the authority of the Reincarnation Pool. The youngest king is the God of Judgment. This immortal King’s name is Hei Anjing.

The God of Judgment is the embodiment of Fear and Death as he was the owner of the Purgatory. If it was just raw abilities alone it can be said that he is even stronger than his elder brother and only second to the Immortal Emperor. The only downside of this esteemed being is that he is so ruthless and cruel. Because of this, he is feared by immortals, mortals, and devils themselves. Moreover, no one or nothing could be hidden from this king. There is this scroll called a record of life. All beings had this record in themselves. Everything they had done would be recorded in this scroll. This scroll would be passed to the Judiciary Hall where both the God of Punishment and God of Judgment would determine whether the being would fall into purgatory or be pardoned by the God of Judgment with few conditions before reincarnation.

The God of Judgment and the God of Punishment hated each other to the core. Every time a trial was ongoing these two would fight with words and would sometimes even end up getting physical. The God of Judgment is just as strong as the God of Punishment. This is another reason why they never got along well. The God of Judgment is the embodiment of Justice and Righteousness. Because of this, he disdains the cruelty and ruthlessness of the God of Punishment. Likewise, the God of Punishment hates the latter’s hypocrisy.

100 years ago. Both the God of Punishment and God of Judgment had descended to the mortal world due to some rumors of Devils with King Realm. But a God cannot use their original cultivation in the Mortal Realm. Because they are so strong that the fragile land might get destroyed. So they borrow a mortal body that matches their souls. Plus, their original identity was sealed within their memories and only their mission can be remembered.

Something bad unexpected happened. The mortals had deemed the reincarnation of the God of Punishment as a demonic cultivator. Demonic Cultivators are cultivators who practice unorthodox ways. They use blood as a medium and resentment as qi. That’s why humans hated their existence. But no one would have understood that the God of Punishment is different from those so-called Demonic cultivators. His strength came from his bloodline and from his land. The Land of Purgatory. His qi is made from half of the resentment energy and world energy. This is because he needs full control of the land of torture. Unfortunately, the mortals did not know about this.
