Chapter 597: 11.123 First Green Star – Punishment World: ‘Purgatory’ (20) [End]

Among everyone in the area, there is no one more familiar with that aggressive yet extremely horrifying aura of darkness. It is fierce, sharp, and cold. It was as if the darkness itself was made from countless blades slicing over his skin. His trauma from the past when he is a lot weaker than Xia Jieye once again resurfaced in Ye Mo’s mind.

The grip he has on Hei Anjing’s neck weakens and Ye Xiajie and Hei Mo took this as an opportunity to escape from the bind and take away Hei Anjing. Wallowing in his mental fears, Ye Mo didn’t prevent Ye Xiajie from saving Hei Anjing. The married couple and Hei Mo jump a distance away from the mad Ye Mo.

Ye Xiajie worriedly asked his wife, “Baby, are you alright?”

Cough. cough!

“Ugh~ I’m fine, my love,” answered Hei Anjing with a slightly raspy voice from getting his throat choked.

Hei Mo and Ye Xiajie’s expressions were pretty bad as they glared at the culprit who left the handprints on Hei Anjing’s neck. But unfortunately, their strength isn’t enough to fight off this madman.

Hei Mo whispered to his son-in-law. “You return to Vearth now. I will distract him for a while.”

.....

Hearing this, the first one to not agree with his Hei Anjing, he grabs his grandfather’s robe as he shakes his head, unable to speak properly with a feeling of pain in his throat. his eyes were a bit misty obviously holding back his tears but unable to. It is normal for an elder to scold a junior that doesn’t listen to orders but seeing his grandson’s tears Hei Mo had no heart to reprimand his boy. He gently caressed the boy’s head and smiled at him amiably.

Hei Mo whispered, “Jing’er, don’t be naughty. Grandfather will help you block the bad guy for now. You and your husband should go home and ask for help from your parents. Grandfather will do his best to hold on. I promise, okay?”

The smile on his face looks awkward. This Old God rarely smiles and it shows how stiff his expression is. This man doesn’t seem to be the type to smile but since he is naturally happy in his heart, one could see the mirth within those grayish eyes. His familial affection and love for Hei Anjing can be seen through his eyes. Like they say, ‘Eyes are the window to the soul’.

Hei Anjing could not accept this fact and shake his head as he gripped the sleeves of his grandfather’s robe tightly. He obviously doesn’t wish to let go at all but his grandfather Hei Mo pried his fingers gently and pulled his hands away from his clothes. The Old God doesn’t accept what his grandson wishes to do.

Hei Mo waves his hands once and a portal opens connected directly to the Nether System. For someone with the blood of Hei who are experts in controlling space elements. Hei Mo’s actions were not surprising but it shows his proficiency and strength through these actions alone. His overall control over the space element is even smoother than his master, Hei Sian who is his wife’s father and this old man’s youngest son.

“Surprised? I think Jing’er’s talent in Space control would be greater than this old man in the future. You better protect my child for me or even if I get reincarnated I will make sure to beat you up brat~” said Hei Mo with a threatening gaze.

Ye Xiajie showed no fear in his eyes, instead his eyes were giving away a respectful feeling as he looked at him. If Hei Mo didn’t know that this man in front of him is a former Supreme God who is also the alter ego of the Supreme God of Light, Shen Siwang, he would be a high-grade grandson-in-law this old man would like. The only downside of this brat is that he is a notorious Evil God feared by everyone in all realms even in Vearth. The only ones who could speak to him equally are his alter ego or his brother figure, Shen Siwang, and of course his wife, Hei Anjing.

“I promise to protect my wife, Hei Anjing, with my life not only in this lifetime but also in our eternity,” vowed Ye Xiajie.

Hei Mo clicked his tongue and said, “Tsk! Prove it with actions. Vows nowadays aren’t trusting especially between Gods who can change their destiny as they want.”

“I know, Old man” replied Ye Xiajie.

The two were so busy talking with each other that they didn’t detect that Ye Mo had noticed them escaping. It was System Yue and System Yang who were confronting the mad Ye Gui who shouted for their masters to be careful.

System Yue shouted, [Milord! Be careful!!!]

[Master, dodge!] yelled System Yang.

Ye Mo with a crazed expression on his face while reaching out towards them, “You can’t escape from me~”

“Ye Mo, you dare!” yelled Hei Mo as he blocked in front of the couple.

Hei Mo can be considered Ye Mo’s elder, after all, he is the only friend of the deceased father of Ye Mo. So it can be seen that Hei Mo treats Ye Mo as his nephew. But this man tried to harm his grandson and grandson-in-law, which Hei Mo could accept.

In the end, Ye Mo is much more ruthless than a white-eyed wolf. There was no hesitation in his eyes when his hand pierced through the body of Old Man Hei. Blood and flesh splash from the wound. The injury Hei Mo suffered is fatal

“AAAAAHHH!!! GRANDPA!!!”

Hei Anjing screamed with tears falling like a waterfall on his face, he and Ye Xiajie wanted to reach out to save him but instead, they were pushed by Hei Mo to the opened portal that was about to disappear in the next second to escape. System Yang used all of his cultivation to forcefully transfer away Ye Mo to some unknown coordinates and dragged System Yue to jump into the shrinking portal to follow their masters. As soon as they crossed over, the portal disappeared in thin air.

The only one remaining in that broken space dimension is the dying Hei Mo. Ye Mo was teleported away by System Yang who used all the dark elements left behind by his creator to make sure that Ye Mo’s real body was transferred to a place farther than where they are.

The scene of the space dimension connected directly to Hei Mo’s soul is now breaking. This shows that his current state is not optimal. With that large wound on his stomach, he is clearly dying at this moment.

Hei Mo felt more relief than pain in the last moment of his life. He looked up and saw the dimensional fragment of this space that had to imprison him for a few hundreds or thousands of years. Seeing the sight of the galaxy beyond the fragmented space, Hei Mo finally remembered what it feels to be free.

He was happy during his last moment. Hei Mo had truly enjoyed it. The fragments were like a broken mirror falling from the sky like crystals. It looks so colorful and beautiful.

Hei Mo stared at the field of stars and planets above him. The new memories he had just created with his grandson as well as his past memories before he became the patriarch of the Hei Clan flashes before his eyes. He could see the faces of the young and adult Hei Anjing, Hei Sian, Hei Siyan, and Hei Jue as well as his deceased wife.

There are more sad moments than happy ones but the latter are the most precious moments in his long life. After letting go of his greed and hatred, Hei Mo feels free.

Hei Mo murmured, “At the very least, the youngest safely escaped, I have sinned too much. In the end, between fame, money, and family. Family is the most important. I... should have... known.”

He slowly closes his eyes and doesn’t notice the arrival of Lan She and Chu Mo. Following behind them are Han Ya and the rest. They had actually arrived a bit earlier and witnessed the scene of this Old God saving their lords by letting them fall into the portal to escape from Ye Mo. This notorious god of the Ye Gui Race.

But before Lan She and Chu Mo were able to come over to help everything ended in an instant. Their lords fell into that distorted space portal with unknown coordinates. Thankfully, System Yue and System Yang had jumped in as well before it completely disappeared. This wouldn’t happen if this old god, Hei Mo, didn’t block Ye Mo who was trying to catch the two behind him at that time.

Elder Hei Mo had already taken his last breath before Lan She and Chu Mo could even reach where he had fallen.

Chu Mo picked him up and tried to wake him but felt his heartbeat become slower and his breathing became thinner.

“Elder Hei? Elder Hei! Shit his heartbeat is almost gone.” said Chu Mo in panic.

Lan She himself had been pouring light healing elements on Hei Mo but it does not seem that useful after all who can cure a dead person.

After once again feeling the old man’s pulse it resulted in a silent pulse. Lan She shook his head and gently placed the hand down to the man’s chest.

“No pulse. He is gone. What should we do?” asked Lan She.

“Finish things here first. I have a way to return to the Nether System without Zhi Yue. But it is one way, we need to clean up the things in this world-first before he takes our leave.” said Chu Mo

Chu Mo also gently laid down the elder on the ground and first decided to stop the destruction of this dimensional space. But before he could even move, Han Ya and An Yuan who are now the rulers of this star help in repairing the space tears in this world.

As the new True God of Abyssal World, everything in this place can be controlled by him.

Han Ya spoke, “Leave the repair to me, Brother Chu.”

“I will also help,” said An Yuan.

Chu Mo said, “Then we will leave it to you, An Yuan. Han Ya come here we will teach you everything you need to learn.”

Han Ya was a bit confused but it was hard to decline to see Chu Mo not smiling and was a bit scared due to his serious expression. He looked around and saw his friends nodding at him and gesturing to leave the repair to them.

A few hours ago, the battle in the Colosseum was abruptly stopped when everyone witnessed the part of the sky cracking. Chu Mo and Lan She had already killed most of the leaders of the races that came to join the fun in the battle royale. They were about to massacre the remaining beings in the arena except for their team when they suddenly heard a huge sound of something breaking followed by a powerful quaking not only of the land but the world itself.

Then they witnessed the changes in the sky. No, it’s more like a change in the space itself. Lan She and Chu Mo who are familiar with this scene knew that a Space Elemental God is about to die, only then this death would affect the space elements in the area causing space rifts here and there.

Chu Mo and Lan She was frightened at the scene. The only God they knew who could control space elements to such an extent is Lord Hei. So when they saw the space, tears suddenly appeared. The first person that comes to mind is Hei Anjing.

Ignoring all troubles at the arena, Lan She and Chu Mo chose to stop playing around and instantly kill the rest except for their team.

Lan She said to Han Ya and the rest, “There’s an urgent situation. Follow us closely for now. Don’t get left behind.”

Han Ya and the rest nodded their heads and used all possible ways to fly and flew out to follow Lan She and Chu Mo who were in haste. They flew out of the Punishments world without receiving the final rewards, passed through the Abyssal City where they parted with Qi Yun and his team, and flew directly to the Empyrean Domain which only accepts the entrance of Demigods and False Gods.

All six of them were Gods and no one dared to block them, especially with the scary face of Chu Mo in his serious mode. They followed the traces left behind by Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie on the way and found the entrance to the Dimensional world of Hei Mo.

Who would expect that as soon as they entered the dimension, they would witness the scene of Ye Gui Race Leader, Ye Mo, killing the former patriarch of the Hei Clan and now a criminal god himself, Elder Hei? They’ve also seen their lords falling inside a space portal whose destination is unknown. Then resulted in them witnessing the death of Elder Hei.

Han Ya spoke, “Thanks for waiting Brother Chu, Brother Lan.”

He respectfully cupped his hands towards those of higher standing than he was. Han Ya didn’t become arrogant just because he had become a God himself but he also knew how to act accordingly based on the situation and people.

Lan She and Han Ya are people whom he wouldn’t have met in his whole life, he was lucky to meet someone like them. This is why Han Ya was so respectful to the two.

Chu Mo and Lan She sighed as they realized that Han Ya indeed knew about their real identity. The same thing can be said of An Yuan as well.

Lan She said, “As expected you already knew who we are?”

“Yes. This world’s ego has informed me about your identities. Just to ensure me not to make a mistake that I would regret in my whole life.” replied Han Ya.

Chu Mo said, “If the wills of the world had already spoken then there is no problem. Lord Ye has passed his throne to you, so the owner and ruler of the Abyssal World will be you. We cannot stay in this place for too long but we will pass on the necessary knowledge about the realms and worlds outside of yours.”

“There are numerous worlds and myriad Gods that exist. The world is also ranked in levels. For example, this Abyssal World is a C ranked world. The lowest rank is F followed by E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and lastly SSS. There is only one SSS-ranked world that ever existed. This world is called Vearth, the sanctuary of all Gods and Immortals. This is our world.” explained Lan She.

Chu Mo said, “These are the basic knowledge. You would understand further when he decided to leave this world after you pass your throne to the future successor. We called you to say goodbye.”

“Are you leaving already? Are Lord Hei and Lord Ye alright? We saw them fall in that unknown space portal.” asked Han Ya.

Lan She replied, “They would be alright. But since we lost contact with them we need to go back to our own world and ask someone for help. At the same time bring back Elder Hei home.”

“Is he... a family member?” asked Han Ya.

Chu Mo said, “Yes, he is the grandfather of Lord Hei.”

“How about that other man? He seems to be an enemy.”

“He is an enemy! The worst one!” said Chu Mo. “Either way, forget what you saw just now. Do not get involved. The enemy is an Immortal God, one and the few that ever existed.”

“I understand,” said Han Ya.

Lan She spoke, “We need to go now. If you ever come to Vearth you already know our names. It would be easy for you to find...”

The three were having a conversation in the corner when they heard a commotion from where the rest were. They heard words like alive, revive, and immortal. As they turn to look they see Elder Hei who is supposed to be dead now looking grumpy. He looks around and checks on himself. He couldn’t believe he was alive.

Hei Mo murmured while frowning, “Why am I still alive?”
