760 14.36 Last Violet Star – Mo Baojun’s Investigation.

In Vearth...

After leaving the Netherworld to check on his son, Ye Xiajie was hiding in the shadows with his brother, Shen Siwang. They are currently in kindergarten. The very school in the Mo Family had enrolled their youngest descendant.

Shen Siwang asked, “Are you not going to see your child face to face, Xia?”

“... My reputation is too bad. I don’t want Xiao Jing to be glared upon or to be terrified because of me,” said Ye Xiajie. His voice was so quiet that Shen Siwang could barely hear his words.

But when Shen Siwang heard about it, he laughed as if looking at the fool. Full of jeering and happiness. He couldn’t believe that his arrogant and devil-may-care brother would one day worry about what others say about him because of his son.

Laughing, Shen Siwang said, “This is hilarious!”

“You are laughing too much. I’m going back to Netherworld,” said Ye Xiajie.

Shen Siwang said, “Come on. Brother just laughed for a bit. Don’t be angry. Hihi~ Either way it is not like you to worry about this. God, this is funny. To think you would become like this in the end.”

“Anyway, you do know that you are speaking nonsense right? Do you not remember what kind of family your wife has? Especially their well-known family’s bloodline traits.”

.....

“Do you think someone with Mo’s bloodline and yours would grow up as an ordinary god? You’re going to make me laugh to death. Watch it yourself.”

Pulled by Shen Siwang they got closer to where the children were. In the children’s playground, they saw the scene of children acting in a real-life play of adult reputation. With Ye Jingxia as the center of the children, he saw him walking in the path the rest had made for him with an expressionless face of him.

Seeing Ye Jingxia acting like this made him remember how he met his wife at the Plaza. His Jing’er had always been at the center of everyone’s eyes. He walks straight and the path would be made for him. In Vearth, there is no one who didn’t know the God of Destruction. He is feared by destroyers and at the same time, admired by gods and goddesses in Vearth.

The children’s voices echoed in the playground.

“It’s his highness Jingxia! Look... He looks so much like Venerable Young Lord Hei.”

“Eh? I heard he looks more like his father.”

“Father? Isn’t the Prince’s father that being? Daddy and father said not to mention the Venerable’s name.”

“What are you scared of? My mama says that Sovereign Lord Ye is a very good-looking man. Look at his highness Jingxia. He looks both beautiful and handsome. A perfect mixture of Venerate Young Lord Hei and Sovereign Ye!”

“Well~ he is indeed so majestic. Aren’t you afraid of Sovereign Lord Ye? The history of him as an Evil God?”

“He is an Evil God but in Vearth Gods, Demons, Devils, Mythical beasts, and more live together. Here, what was used as prestige is strength. As someone who is said to be as powerful as Sovereign Lord Shen who controls all the light in Vearth, Sovereign Lord Ye had been the ruler of all darkness in the world. Without him there would be no night nor would there be stability. His duty was to punish those who broke the Divine Laws which protect us. There is no way Sovereign Lord Ye is bad.”

“Plus, his wife is Venerable Young Lord Hei. This is a person who had been protecting us from destroying the enemies in the lower world and ensuring that we would be able to live free of danger from destroyers.”

“When I grow up I want to work for Netherworld. I heard no bad person had been able to escape from there. I want to punish bad people as well.”

“I heard it is very hard to work for the Nether System. You must be crime free and your family background would be thoroughly investigated.”

“So what!? I will try my best! I want to work beside Prince Jingxia!!!”

“Me too!”

“Same. Same. I wanted to as well.”

Ye Jingxia, who finally walked through the crowd and sat at the only chair in the playground which the children treated as a throne, speaks.

“You guys are a bit noisy.”

With a wave of his hand countless mini cakes, sweets, chocolates, and more flew to the center where a table made of ice suddenly appeared.

“Just eat. Then prepare to go home later,” Ye Jingxia.

Within the shadows, Shen Siwang and Ye Xiajie were watching the whole scene. Ruler God Shen couldn’t help by commenting on his Grand nephew’s actions.

Shen Siwang spoke, “I don’t know how many sweets and snacks Xiao Xiao Jing has in his storage. Every three days, Mom (Mother Mo) and Mo Yue would bake something for Xiao Xiao Jing. Even my wifey would join sometimes.”

“That apathetic gaze of Xiao Xiao Jing is definitely inherited from that face that strongly looks similar to yours, it is like seeing you hoard snacks like a little hamster.”

“Just where did Xiao Xiao Jing get his liking for sweets from? My wifey likes strawberries but not that much for sweets.”

Ye Xiajie said, “Jing’er loves eating sweets. He is a foodie who would never wrong himself when it comes to food. Xiao Jing must have gotten it from him.”

“His storage bag must be full of food. I need to give him another storage device for some other things,” said Lord God Ye.

Shen Siwang could hardly hold back his waves of laughter.

Pfft!

Completely entertained, “Is... that so?” said Ruler God Shen Siwang.

Tsk!

Ye Xiajie retorted, “Just laugh. You were never afraid of me anyway!”

Hahahaha~

“Anyway, come! You should pick up your son with me. Xiao Xiao Jing had been missing you and Xiao Jing’er ever since he was left at our side while you two continue your trials,” said Shen Siwang.

He grabbed his brother’s arm and pulled him out of the shadows while the latter was struggling not to be pulled.

Ye Xiajie said, “Let go! I can go out on my own. Stop pulling! Are you a kid!?”

“No, I’m your elder brother, not a kid. I’m showing you off to my Grand nephew as a gift. Hahaha~” said Shen Siwang

The two pulled each other. One pulling back to the darkness and the other pulling out towards the light. Unknown to them, because of their childishness the sky above their heads was affected by their emotions. The morning and evening were distorting.

That day the phenomenon of both the morning and evening converging happens and everyone in Vearth was shocked.



Meanwhile at the Mo Family Palace...

Mo Baojun had gone straight home after meeting the Origin. He still couldn’t believe what he had heard from it. He decided to find his father and mother to ask about certain things about their family’s origin.

As expected when he got home, he saw his father and mother enjoying their moments under a cherry blossom tree. They’ve spread a soft blanket of grassland and placed some food and wine on top while they themselves lean at each other having a picnic in their own world.

Mo Baojun had long forgotten how old his parents were. But for as much as he remembers they’ve longed to exist as much as his husband, Shen Siwang. It is unknown if their bloodline is created by the Origin or the End. There is some speculation that both had created their bloodline.

“Mom! Dad!” calls Mo Baojun.

The old couple turned around and looked at him with a doting smile. To them, Mo Baojun is just their youngest son and not the tyrant everyone feared.

Mother Mo said, “Baobei? You are back early. Are you hungry?”

“Where is Siwang? Did you not come home together?” asked Father Mo.

“No, Mom, I’m not hungry. Dad, Siwang is with his brother,” responded Mo Baojun.

A bit startled, Mother Mo said, “Hm? Xia is back. How about Xiao Jing’er?”

“Not yet, Mom. Xiao Jing’er is still doing the trial. They are only halfway there,” answered Mo Baojun.

Father Mo, as if realizing why his youngest son is back early, asked, “Are you back early for us? Is there a problem, Baobei?”

“Actually Dad I just came back from meeting the Origin. I’ve asked something about Xiao Jing’er. He told me that he is in his second life like Ye Xiajie. Do you know what he meant, Dad?” asked Mo Baojun.

Father Mo thinks for a moment while beside him his wife was quiet as she knows that their youngest was asking her husband.

“Well~ this old man’s memories are already vague. But in my childhood, I’ve seen our Mo Ancestor. Well see for yourself,” Father Mo said.

He made some gestures with his hands and the pond in the courtyard started to ripple and move. It created a circular mirror above where the pond is located. Father Mo tried to recall the vague and old memories of his childhood when he met their ancestor when he was young.

There is a sudden image in the water mirror. It was quite blurred but one could still see the man’s features in the water mirror. All three of the Mo Family were dumbfounded. On the water mirror conjured by Father Mo to show his memory of their family’s appearance, a mature version of Hei Anjing with white hair and silver eyes wearing a pure white robe while surrounded by Ice elemental fairies appeared.

Mother Mo said, “Is this our Mo Ancestor? Why does he look so much like Xiao Jing’er? His very mature version?”

“Baobei, is this what you wanted to ask? Whether Xiao Jing’er is our Mo Family’s Ancestor in his previous life. But he doesn’t have memories of this life and the only strange thing about Xiao Jing’er is that he is clingy towards the God of Void. Is there a reason for this?” asked Father Mo.

Frowning and a bit pale, Mo Baojun was silent for a moment. What he had theorized in his head was about to come true.

“Dad, Mom. You know about Ye Xiajie’s situation right?”

“You mean how Xia Jieye died to protect Xiao Jing’er as a baby and reincarnated as Ye Xiajie?” said Mother Mo.

Mo Baojun said, “Yes, that one. But during his reincarnation, something happened to his soul. Someone pulled away his memories and his soul core that’s why Ye Xiajie was reborn without the memories and strength of his previous life. I guess this has something to do with the end.”

“Does he want to make Xia his Apostle?” said Father Mo.

Mo Baojun was a bit stunned. He didn’t expect his Dad to know about the apostles.

“Dad, you know about the apostles?” asked Mo Baojun.

“Yes. Many thousands of years ago when the Ancestor suddenly disappeared the End came to our Mo Family and wanted me to become an Apostle of the End. But at that time your mother is pregnant with Mo Yue. I cannot bring your mother to a dangerous place such as the abyss. So I decline. Now that I think about it, at that time, the End was just asking to be a substitute. Maybe because Xia Jieye had just died and Xiao Jing’er wasn’t born yet.”

“Xia Jieye is the perfect Apostle of End because he rules the Abyss itself. I don’t know why he wanted Xiao Jing’er though but if he is indeed our Mo Ancestor in his previous life then it can be understood. Our Ancestor is the Yin itself. He greatly complements darkness and was able to enter and get out of Abyss even without the permission of Xia Jieye.”

“When I was a child I usually saw our Ancestor leaving somewhere but didn’t know where he had gone to. Now thinking about it this way, he must have gone to play in the abyss and met Xia Jieye there,” said Father Mo.

Mother Mo said, “Then why did Xia not remember anything about Xiao Jing’er? When Xiao Jing’er was born he was so reluctant to stay with him in the first few days.”

“I don’t know. But maybe Siwang would know. Xia is his alter ego after all. Baobei, why don’t you ask Siwang about this? He might be able to clear up things if you ask something about Xia in the past,” Father Mo said.

Mo Baojun said, “That might be the best choice.”

“Go on. Just come back for dinner,” said Father Mo.

.....

Mo Baojun stared at his Dad who was shooing him away at this moment, “Dad, why do I feel you wanted me to leave as soon as possible?”

“I and your mom were having a picnic date and you suddenly barged like that. Go don’t bother us. Go find your own husband, you lightbulb!” said Father Mo.

Chuckles~

Mother Mo on the other hand was laughing. Her husband used to love to spoil their children but when they got old he only had a love to pamper his wife.

Mo Baojun said, “I’m leaving okay! Happy? Hmp!”
