Chapter 1312: 18.150 First Grey Star - Grandfather Ye Jingya
Underground Village
This settlement has the feel of a secret facility. This area was surrounded by a barrier that prevented the aura and aroma of the people who resided there in addition to making the entry invisible. When the Aborigines discovered that humans were members of the lowest caste in this reality, they were treated worse than servants.
They believe that a weak being, such as a human, may only be used as food. One of them dies easily.
The villagers were taken aback when Lu Wei and Mo Banyue—along with their partners—returned. Their homecoming was much anticipated, and they had a heartfelt reunion. A number of the deceased slaves also had family residing here, and they were devastated to hear of the passing of their loved ones.
Like the rest of the folks who had returned today, they were unfortunate that members of their family had passed away before they were saved. .net
Ye Jieye wasted no time at all. As soon as he arrived here with his parents and uncles, he started looking for his grandfather. He rushed straight to Ye Jingya's sleeping quarters, leaving his parents to play the role of someone explaining what had transpired. The body of the sleeping Ye Jingya was connected to several devices that maintained his physical well-being in order to keep him alive.
He rests in a therapeutic pod designed to maintain his ice-cold state of consciousness.
He went to see his grandfather, Ye, with his father, Ye Jingli. Due to a shortage of effective medications, the man inside the recovery pod appears famished. Nonetheless, the locals here did not give up on him and made every effort to preserve his life.
As soon as Ye Jingli saw his father resting in the healing pod, looking worse than they were, who suffered as slaves, he had an urge to cry.
Ye Jingli calls, "Father!"
"Dad, please leave me alone with my grandfather," Ye Jieye said.
He passed a space button that was loaded with external substances. This little planet is full of life components. In order to provide for everyone in this underground town, he requested that Zhi Yue go hunting and gather some.
Ye Jieye said, "There's a large quantity of ingredients in this space button. Don't ask where it came from. For now, please go and prepare for a feast. I'm going to need time to wake my grandfather up."
"Okay. Okay. Dad will leave your grandfather in your care. Don't overdo it, Ye'er," Ye Jingli said.
Ye Jieye said, "I understand. Don't worry, Dad. I want to eat some braised beef with eggs."
"Hahaha~ okay. Dad will cook it for you," Ye Jingli said as he left his father's room with a smile on his face. He was obviously delighted with the fact that his son was requesting something for him to cook for a meal.
Moments after Ye Jingli left the room, the emotions on his face faded, and he looked at the sleeping old man on the bed with cold eyes.
"Come out of that body while I'm still asking nicely. I don't mind devouring you without caring for that body as I can revive him myself," Ye Jieye said.
Out of nowhere, blackness emanated from Ye Jingya's body. Gluttony, not the power of darkness, is the cause. Other than the one he had eaten earlier, it appears that there was another piece of the World Eater inside his grandfather's corpse. To contain the power of consuming inside the chamber, Ye Jieye was forced to use his Domain of Darkness.
Naturally, Ye Jingya's body gave way to another man, his face hidden behind a dark cloak.
{You cannot blame me for it. It was this old man who decided to lock me in his body. I wanted to devour his soul but doing so will make me unable to leave this vessel. I've been waiting for you. Do you wish to devour me like the rest of us?}
The God of Void said, "Keeping you guys outside will be dangerous, not only for my wife and my family. I had no choice but to devour you and keep the power within you under my control."
{Haha~ I guess I do not have a choice. Do as you will. Let's just hope you won't lose control over yourself. By the way, unlike the few you ate before, I have a memory from the original Tun Shizhe. It might be something that would interest you the most.}
Ye Jieye said, "Then I shall see it for myself." The power of devour appeared in his hand, forming a dragon head that ate the man in a black cloak.
The God of Void gains strength via the merging of this man's gluttony with Ye Jieye. But unlike before, Ye Jieye maintained control over it. Rather, discomfort comes from stillness.
Ye Jieye looked at the surge of power that could devour anything within his body. He mumbles, "For some reason, I can feel the power of gluttony has greatly increased. But it's so easy to achieve that it feels fake. For now, let's leave it be." What he didn't know was that in the depths of his soul, an unknown fragment was grinning like a devil before once again fading.
The God of Void turned off his realm and healed the elderly man's soul, who was dozing on the bed, by using light components. The blowback of casting prohibited magic was what caused Ye Jingya's soul to shatter. Removing the entire soul from someone else is an unconventional method. It violates the reincarnation laws.
Ye Jieye mumbles, "So when you sent Ye Jieye's soul outside, you were prepared to die in this place. How foolish. But... to save at least the youngest of your family in exchange for yours, I guess this is also one of the human ways."
He rummaged in his space storage and pulled out a scroll of spells. It is the one with the time- and fate controlling imprinted spell. It has the power to change someone's fate. However, it is limited to use on mortals. The spell has no effect on the gods because their destiny is unpredictable and ever-changing. Human life is like a play.
It has a beginning and an end, represented by birth and death.
Ye Jieye intended to utilize this scroll to change Ye Jingya's destiny—a mortal who was destined to perish in this world. One of his consumables from the time he held the power to decide life and death was this. However, Mo Baojun had long before inherited this power and, upon his death as the God of Void, he assumed the role of sovereign over both life and death.
"I only have a few of these things. If I want more, I can only ask him to give me some. But I couldn't get along with that brother-in-law (Mo Baojun) of mine. Tsk! Whatever I can, just ask my wife to ask for some if I use it all up." Ye Jieye mumbles as he activates the spell of time and fate on the scroll.
He provides necessary information like the name of the target, the original ending, and the new ending, as well as enough divinity to activate it.
He turned on the scroll, and it blended in with the world of the target's birth. It was almost instantly accepted by the world, since it had enough divine energy to compensate. The sleeping Ye Jingya awoke to his full potential, and the wound in his soul healed as soon as the scroll he was holding vanished. The elderly man gradually opened his eyes and transformed into a good-looking middle-aged man.
The soul of Ye Jieye had been sleeping, but the God of Void had momentarily roused it. He did not often awaken the original soul since he was scared of losing his mind from the memories of his past life. wherein he not only avoided death but also saw the deaths of his own children as a result of his own actions. This soul needs to say its final goodbyes.
After Ye Jieye was called to this world, the original soul was ultimately found to be too feeble. He lived all of his life claiming to be the sole being capable of granting his wants.
The God of Void said, "You can stay with them until all night. Once you merge with me in the end, you can live with your wife and children forever. You, who used to be a part of me, are the soul fragment of my wife. You are a part of the soul that got lost after my first death. I will let you spend time with your family."
The God of Void died once as Xia Jieye and once more as Ye Xiajie. Hei Anjing brought him back to life and he is currently a different whole soul. The first and second have distinct lives. Because Ye Xiajie's soul was incomplete at birth, he was unable to remember his time as Xia Jieye until his rebirth was complete and that soul fused with him.
However, some of Xia Jieye's spirit had been lost in space and time when he first passed away as a sovereign. One of those pieces that is missing from this world is Ye Jieye. After gathering all the missing pieces, the God of Void ought to be able to remember where he came from.
His past appears to have been connected to the World Eater, although it was long forgotten once he was reincarnated as the God of Void. He might remember who he really is only once he is collected all the bits of gluttony in all the universes.
[Thank you. You... Myself.]
When old man Ye Jingya met Ye Jieye's teary eyes, he immediately recognized the handsome man in front of him.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry I've returned late. Please forgive this incompetent grandson of yours," Ye Jieye said.
Ye Jingya grinned when seeing his grandchild in a more mature light. He had not seen him since he was a newborn. This boy was stronger than the frail one in his recollections; he had matured sufficiently to face any challenge head-on. He really sent his grandson's soul to shield him from the demonic existence he had imprisoned inside of him, as this is what he had predicted.
Ye Jingya gripped the hands holding his. "It's not too late. This old man doesn't believe you are incompetent. Didn't you save this old man just now? You did good, Xiao Ye."
"Um, Grandpa, I've removed that soul from you. He is a bad existence trying to corrupt your soul. After removing Grandpa's soul, it was healed. We can go out now. Gramps is waiting for us outside. My wife and children as well," Ye Jieye said.
Ye Jingya sat up upon hearing this news, so excited was he. It never occurred to him that his grandson would marry and have a child in addition to leading a contented life outside.
"I have great-grandchildren? That's good. Great! Who is my daughter-in-law?" Ye Jingya asked.
Ye Jieye answered, "It's Uncle Mo's son, Mo Xuejing."
"You know how to choose. I heard that boy is the most beautiful in your generation, and his talent is equal to yours. Good match," Ye Jingya said while grinning.
Ye Jieye said, "Grandpa, I will inform Dad and father. Please stay here for a while."
"Okay. Take your time," Ye Jingya said.
The old guy no longer had a smile on his face when Ye Jieye fled the room. Ye Jingya observed his strength, which had recovered to its maximum, and his appearance, which appeared to have regressed with age. He whispered, "Ye'er can not resurrect me on his own. Just who had helped him achieve such a godly thing?" with a scowl on his face.
Sigh~
"Forget it. As long as everyone is safe, I must try to contact Zang'er. Cutting off our connection one-sidedly must have angered my wife greatly."
Ye Jingli and Lu Wei rush to the chamber where Old Ye lives in less than thirty minutes. The duo was quickly followed by Mo Banyue and Xue Keiran. The old man, who had been imprisoned in this reality, took great care of them. Being their senior, he has always looked out for them. When Ye Jieye told his father of his grandfather's awakening, everyone was in shock.
They did not trust him until he made a vow.
