Chapter 599: 12.1 Unknown Star – SSS World: Vearth, The Case of An Liang (1)

In the Nether System.

After receiving the command from one of the temporary leaders of the System, Warden Lou Wuye and Prisoner Yun Ming escorted Elder Hei to the lowest layer of Nether Hell. The last layer of Nether Hell is an Isolation area without even any hint of sunlight illuminating the place. Just a layer field with darkness and stone caves made from materials that could restrain the Godly powers of whatever Deity or God had been sent in this place. Each criminal that was placed in this layer would never see the light in their whole life. At least and unless someone had the permission of the top authorities of the Nether System approved one to be moved to another cell.

But at the same time, this is also the neutral zone in the Nether System. In this layer, whether you are a prisoner, a warden, or a visitor, all your godly powers would be restrained in this place as if the whole layer is made from material that could seal someone’s divinity.

Hei Jue placed his grandfather there because he didn’t want him to die at the same time he wanted to bait the traitor from appearing and capture him on the spot. After knowing that Hei Mo is alive, the traitor would definitely report it to Ye Mo and the latter would order the death of Hei Mo.

Using this as an opportunity, Hei Jue decided to use this as a plan. In the first place, with the blessing given to him by Hei Anjing, there was no way he could die. In this way, Hei Mo would be used as bait to catch the traitor in action and get the evidence needed to convict him.

Hei Jue bid a farewell to his husband. He needs to report to Uncle Sian about Hei Mo, his grandfather’s return to Vearth. Though he is currently treated as a criminal right now, Hei Mo had no problems with it. He is after all a wanted person from the past. Surrendering right now is his free will. He wanted to regain his original freedom and go home. At the same time, look for another way to revive his wife either that or he could just wait for her to be reincarnated before being together once again. He also needs to look for his eldest son’s reincarnation if possible.

Being in Vearth once they’ve entered reincarnation had two choices. One is to be reincarnated with their precious memories and continue their second life as the continuation of the first one, or they can choose to surrender their memories and live a new life with new identities. The second option was rarely chosen by Gods and Deities in Vearth. The only ones who choose to surrender their memories are those gods who were former criminals of the Nether System.

.....

After being released from the Netherworld, these guys can only choose the second option and can choose to redeem it after gathering enough merits in exchange.

Hei Mo’s wife was waiting for her husband to enter the pool together. All this time she was waiting. Though she is delighted when she saw him the last time, unfortunately, the time wasn’t right yet. Hei Mo could only return first and told his wife to enter reincarnation first while promising to pick her up at the right moment of time. This is how Hei Mo chose to return to the land of the living. Because he owe his family too much that he could only use his life to repay them.

Nether System

The last layer of Nether Hell. l

Lou Wuye and Yun Ming had escorted the Old God to a clean stone room within the darkest layer of Nether Hell. Warden Lou is holding on to a lamp filled with white flame with the sound of Nether Keys hanging on his waist and a whip on the other side. This flame helps him see through the dark area and find the room designated for Hei Mo to stay inside.

Warden Lou spoke, “Senior, is it alright for you to stay here? Do you wish to move to the other layers instead, this place is the creepiest layer in Nether Hell? With my authority as Head Warden, I could at least give you a cell with flare.”

“No need, kid. I will stay here. Plus, everyone in Vearth sees me as an enemy. Do you think they would believe me if I said that I no longer meant any harm to them?” said Hei Mo.

Yun Ming spoke, “That problem can be solved as long as the Elder shows the imprint left by Lord Hei on you. No one in Vearth would go against Lord Hei’s decision. Like how they can easily accept that the Supreme Evil God descendant, Lord God Ye could smile in the presence of the Young Lord.”

“Right~ now that you said it. Even though people from Vearth are terrified of Milord, they wouldn’t run away as long as they saw Lord Hei with him,” said Warden Lou Wuye. “Because Milord acts like a human with his wife around.”

Hei Mo agreed with any second thought and was even nodding his head in agreement. Because Hei Anjing is well known for clearly making a distinction between those he hates and like. As the top-ranked Executioner in Vearth, he would kill anyone who deserves to die and spare those who don’t deserve it. He might not be completely righteous and notorious for his cruelty yet he had never killed anyone that isn’t listed as his target. This is why everyone in Vearth idolized him despite being the God of Destruction.

“Indeed. That one is well known to be ruthless and evil but around his wife, he is very docile to the point he would call me Grandfather even against his will.”

Warden Lou and Yun Ming were stunned. They couldn’t believe what they’d just heard. That Supreme Evil God never treats others as living beings except for his brother, Shen Siwang, and his wife, Hei Anjing. Would now even call someone Grandfather just because this man happens to be his wife’s family.

Thoughts of the two, ‘Lord God Ye called Elder Hei, Grandfather!? For real!?’

Hei Mo chuckled and said, “Surprising, right? Hoho~”

Warden Lou and Yun Ming honestly nod their heads.

Yun Ming asked, “Senior, why did you agree to stay in this place? To agree as bait to bring out the traitor? Or because Lord Hei Jue wanted to place you here?”

“Hm, let’s just say both. Plus, this old man wanted silence and was undisturbed when my son came over. This place is the best area to speak privately.” said Hei Mo as he went inside the dark cave voluntarily.

Warden Lou placed fake Nether Rings around his wrists and legs. They look exactly like Nether Rings but it had the opposite effect. It allowed one to be able to use their qi in this place. Usually, only the wardens are allowed to use such tools which is why Warden Lou lent his to Senior Hei Mo.

“Sir, I will lend this to you. In this Nether System, the only ones who can possess such things are Milord and his wardens. Even Lord An, who is under the intelligence department, wasn’t given this tool. But its use is also limited. Half an hour at most.” said Warden Lou.

Hei Mo was dazed as he looked at the weird Nether Rings on him but he could feel that instead of restraining his power it hides it instead.

“You guys are too trusting,” said Hei Mo.

Yun Ming spoke, “We do not trust you, Sir. But we have undeniable trust and loyalty towards Lord Hei and Lord God Ye.”

“I see... Aren’t you guys going to follow your lords in the world they are in?” asked Hei Mo.

Warden Lou answered, “We wanted to but we got no means on how we could find them.”

“We don’t even know which world or what are the coordinates they have fallen in? Plus both System Yang and System Yue were with them. We are waiting for either of the two to send coordinates before we could follow them.” said Lan She.

Hei Mo asked, “Did you find a space ability user to open the space portal for you?”

“Have to ask Lord Hei Jue for it,” said Warden Lou.

“That’s good. That child had been extremely talented with Space Techniques of the Hei Clan. I will also try to locate it on my own. If I found it ahead of time I would inform you two about it.”

Warden Lou and Yun Ming lowered their heads respectively and saluted, “Thank you, Senior Hei Mo.”

“No worries. By the way, Ye Mo is a cunning person, he also likes to scheme a lot and he loves to target his opponent’s weaknesses. If You aren’t sure what to do while waiting. I suggest you investigate all the loved ones, family members, or siblings of the top people in this Nether System. Just do it secretly.” said Hei Mo.

Before they could react, Hei Mo just needed to wave his hand once to teleport Warden Lou and Yun Ming out of the final layer of the Nether Hell. They only felt a blurred flash in front of them before recognizing that the surrounding them had changed. They are now back at the entrance of the throne room.

Warden Lou reacted, “Wow~ this gesture. Isn’t it the same as Lord Hei?”

“Sigh~ let’s go. We should investigate what he had told us to do and look for the traces System Yue and System Yang might leave,” said Yun Ming.

“That I don’t mind but... Ming’er, you might need to disguise yourself. You aren’t officially clear of your crime so your face cannot be seen outside the Nether System. Sorry~” said Warden Lou.

Yun Ming felt glad that his lover was worrying about him but he understands his standing. Even though he could walk in the Nether System unhindered, in Vearth he still cannot do the same thing. The title of the prisoner is still attached to his name. It was only thanks to Lord Hei that he wasn’t tied or restrained in a territory their family possessed.

“I know what you mean and I don’t mind it, Warden. I will eat a disguise pill before we head out. Before that... Warden Lou, what is your full name?” asked Yun Ming.

Warden Lou’s eyes widened in shock yet happiness. He and Yun Ming had spent as much of the world as Lord Hei and Lord God Ye did but... They had never introduced themselves properly. They might be avoiding it intentionally as their standing was one that’s from a different side. But thanks to the lords they now stood on the same side as their aides.

“My name is Wuye and surnamed Lou. It’s my greatest pleasure to meet you.”

“I am surnamed Yun and have the given name of Ming. You can call me Ming’er as you wish. Nice to meet you, A’Wu.”

This couple officially introduced themselves and didn’t even notice the arrival of An Liang who now looks like he was fed full by a mountain of dog food.

An Liang spoke, “You know... I don’t mind you flirting but please don’t do it at the entrance of the Throne room. The other might take this place as a dating spot instead of a prison.”

“Lord An (Sir) greetings,” said Yun Ming and Warden Lou.

An Liang spoke, “Too formal. You guys are going to investigate the unknown world which that married couple had fallen into, right? I suggest you ask for the help of the Hei Clan. They could at least give you estimated coordinates of where Xiao Ye and Xiao An might have fallen. I’ve already informed them about it. You should go and ask for the result. If they couldn’t find it the only way is to ask Lord Hei Sian. My wife also left to inform him. Let’s just wait. For now, don’t block the door. I still have so much paperwork to do.”

“Affirmative.” said the two as they watched An Liang enter the throne room nonchalantly about the existence of Lord Hei Mo.

Yun Ming and Warden Lou were observing his expressions silently but sadly they could catch any hints of changes that may show his discomfort. They didn’t even stop him from leaving.

Warden Lou whispered, “What do you think, Ming’er? Is he the traitor as Senior Lord Hei suspected?”

Yun Ming gestured for him to be quiet and whispered back, “Let’s go, we should let him be. He would make his move as long as Senior Lord Hei exists.” He ate a disguise pill which changed his original appearance.

His peach blossom eyes turned round and his face became ordinary and common. He changed his prison uniform into a black robe similar to Warden Lou’s charcoal gray armored robes. Now he looks like personnel that works for the Nether System.

Warden Lou watched his wife’s transformation with glowing eyes. It was such a magical scene yet an entertaining one. Though Yun Ming’s beauty is not as exquisite as Lord Hei’s. His peach blossom-shaped eyes are very attractive. It gave innocent yet elegant features which left an impression on those who had seen him. Now that those eyes are under disguise it would be hard for one to recognize Yun Ming at this moment.

“Honey, you become ugly!” said Warden Lou.

He received an elbow in his gut as a gift when he called his lover ugly.

Yun Ming glared at him and said, “If you dare to say that again, say it.”

“No. No. No. Honey, you are not ugly. You’re at most a Rafflesia.” said Warden Lou.

Stomped!

Yun Ming stomped on Warden Lou’s toes and the latter almost yelled in pain. Thankfully, Yun Ming’s hand was on time to cover his lover’s mouth.

As**dfggg***kgm*! Hiss!!!

After flirting for a few more minutes, they two finally decided to take their leave. Only then did the couple leave to investigate the things Old Man Hei Mo had told them to do. They left the Nether System and went to roam around Vearth.
