Chapter 1252: 18.90 First Grey Star - New Plans
The God of Void searched through the Barbarian King's soul. The soul search process can be painful or painless, and Ye Jieye is doing it in the most painful way. As a result, the barbarian king's screams and pain are genuine and uncontrollable, unlike when he was being physically tortured; in fact, his eyes roll over when Ye Jieye is done with him.
Ye Jieye hummed as he looked through what he saw and mumbled, "150 families and three tribes. Warriors of all tribes came from these three tribes. Then making all of them disappear should be enough."
The Barbarian Chief wanted to yell, but Lu Shang broke his lower jaws immediately. As a warden, he is used to his prisoners speaking beyond their means. Their words and threats were no different from a breeze for his Lord's ears, so it is better not to hear them. The Barbarian King had fainted, and the Barbarian Chief trembled upon hearing what Ye Jieye had mumbled.
Obviously, it was correct that Ye Jieye indeed found the hidden locations of the three tribes and wanted to eradicate them.
Ye Jieye said, "Shang, you will lead the extermination of the Barbarian Race."
"Yes, my lord!" Lu Shang bowed his head in acceptance of his new duty.
With one wave of his hand, Ye Jieye summoned three black portals from behind him, out of which emerged a few men with pale skin and pure black, full-plated armor; an undead wyvern from the second portal; three void giant warriors twice the size of the Barbarian King from the last portal; and three squads made up of undead warriors riding on the backs of the undead wyvern and a giant, led by Lu Shang.
These monsters all kneeled before the God of Void. Even Lu Shang, who is the commander, did the same as they saluted him.
Lu Shang said, "Milord, we are ready."
Ye Jieye nods and waves his hand again, this time using his wife's space element control skills to plan to teleport these guys close to the territory of those three tribes. While he lacks his wife's complete control and accuracy, he still manages to teleport them.
"Obliterate anything and don't leave anything behind."
"Yes, Venerable Lord!"
Following that, all of these fighters vanished instantly and were transported to their intended locations via teleportation.
In the meantime, Wang Xingmo and the people of this realm, along with the three inmates, were taken aback by what they saw when those entities emerged from the dark portal; every one of them was more powerful than the Barbarian King and exuded a sinister aura that caused others to shudder.
Wang Xingmo, who had witnessed the power of being in the tower of God, knew how similar this scene was, and he was dumbfounded. He looked at Ye Jieye in disbelief.
"You are..."
Ye Jieye turned in his direction, and his expressionless face suddenly changed into a smirk.
"Now you know why he wouldn't be interested in your crown and this kingdom. This place couldn't even enter my eyes; why would he be interested in it?" These words were only heard by Wang Xingmo.
This world had heaven and hell, which is also the reason why gods like the one in the tower and Chaos can descend by borrowing a vessel. Ye Jieye snapped his fingers, and a few bone skeletons appeared from another black portal, dragging Heavenly Guardian Yi Kun, the Barbarian King, and the Barbarian Chief to hell.
After the three were dragged to hell, Ye Jieye's purpose for being here was fulfilled, and he walked away towards the tower of God. The three were burned by black flames until they lost their physical form, and the pain of being burned as a soul is worse than with a body. The mortals were speechless and terrified upon seeing hell for the first time.
Wang Xingmo asked, "Where are you going next?"
"The tower... to pick up my son," Ye Jieye said.
As Wang Xingmo, the current king, thought about it, he realized that his eldest son, Xingju, was the one who was infatuated with the throne and had already told Ye Jieye twice that they had no interest in the throne or this kingdom.
Wang Xingmo asked Nameless, "Would you care if I suddenly changed what I wanted to give in exchange after a lot of time passed, Nameless?"
"For beings like us, any price is fine as long as we deem it worth it. There are also accentric ones who don't care what they get, but their goal must be fulfilled. As long as the changed reward won't affect their goals, we wouldn't care at all," Nameless said.
Wang Xingmo asked, "Can you let me meet that man in the tower without allowing Xingju to know?"
"Possible. Give some time," Nameless said as he disappeared from his master's shadow.

In the Tower of Gods...
After fighting endlessly with the void creatures the man in the black cloak had summoned for him, Ye Jingxia had fully recovered control over his crazed blood. Second Prince Xingju watched the little boy leap around those giant undeads and kill them, covered in the purplish black blood of the undead. Tun Shizhe watched all of this with a smile at the corner of his lips.
Xiao Jing was jumping around in excitement. He had only done such hard training once, when his dad was teaching him how to wield his elements properly.
Ye Jingxia said, "I did it. Father Tun, I can control it properly now." As his eyes flashed from between red and black.
Second Prince Xingju was equally astounded by this youngster's accomplishment and even joined him halfway through, but he took more rests in the middle than this boy, who had been battling nonstop since last night. Tun Shizhe pats his tiny son's head.
Ye Jingxia patted his flat belly and sat on the ground, "Father Tun, I'm hungry~"
"Hm. Wait for a bit longer. Someone is already here to pick you up," Tun Shizhe said as he noticed Ye Jieye had entered the tower.
Ye Jingxia asked, "Who is it? Is it daddy? Oh no! I'm so dirty. Daddy will definitely scold me!" The boy controlled his ice elements and melted them to create water.
A big ball of warm water flushed from above his head and washed away all the dirt, dust, and dried blood on him. He shook his head like a dog dries its fur. Ye Jingxia started jumping in front of Tun Shizhe.
"Father Tun, Father Tun, dry me! Dry me!" Ye Jingxia urged his other father.
Little wisps of fire are summoned by the guy seated on the black throne, and they hover around Ye Jingxia, drying him and his garments. Ye Jingxia is now a clean baby once more; if his clean freak father saw him that way right now, his skin would be scrubbed off from cleaning and bathing.
Twirling around, Ye Jingxia grinned at Tun Shizhe and said, "Father Tun, thank you. I'm going back now. Play with me again next time, okay?"
"Sure. Anytime," Tun Shizhe said.
Ye Jingxia waved his hands and said, "I will bring Xiaxia with me next time. See you~"
"Eh, he is going back already," Second Prince Xingju asked.
{Someone is here to pick him up.}
"Eh? Who?"
When they arrived at the top-floor entrance, they noticed an expressionless Ye Jieye staring at them. Second Prince Xingju trembled, his eyes glinting the same hue as the man beside him. He looked in the direction where Ye Jingxia had fled.
"Satan?"

Ye Jieye took his kid and flew back to the Mo Clan's domain. As soon as they arrived, Mo Xuejing took hold of his son and examined him for wounds. He had been concerned since he saw Xiao Jing get pounded by that barbarian king.
Mo Xuejing scolded his son. "Xiao Jing, don't do that again! How can you fight someone bigger than you!? If you do that again, I'm not going to bring you with us whenever we hunt again."
"Sorry, Daddy. I promise. No more," Ye Jingxia said as he hugged his dad.
Mo Xuejing sighed and had no heart to scold his son anymore. "Okay. Go rest. You played all night."
"Okay~" Ye Jingxia ran out to find his sister.
Following Ye Jieye's return, everyone had congregated in the hall to ask questions about what had transpired at the Aurora Glaciers, even though the three Heavenly Guardians had only heard a portion of what had happened from the other kids.
Mu Zang pulled him over to his side and said, "Xiao Ye, tell Grandpa what happened during your hunt."
With a playful grin at the corners of his mouth, Ye Jieye realized what had happened when he saw Heavenly Guardian Mo Xinyue staring at him from the side. He looked at his wife, who shook his head and pointed to Doctor Guang, who was attempting to conceal himself behind his twin brother, but he was unable to do so due to the mismatch in their body sizes.
Tsk!
Ye Jieye lightly burned the hair of Doctor Guang. Just a bit, but enough to smell burning and see the smoke above his head.
"Ah! My head is on fire. Fire! Fire! Yuhan, help me!! Ah!" He ran to the person whom he knew could help him stop the fire.
Mo Yuhan froze Doctor Guang's head for a moment and felt so cold that he sneezed with a snot.
Doctor Hei commented, "Brother, that's disgusting!"
Hahahahaha~
The other laughed at this silly scene of Doctor Guang. Meanwhile, Ye Jieye started telling them what happened.
"Grandfather Mo, don't be angry that white worm is still alive. I just tied it once into a knot. It can free itself. Moreover, even if that died, you still have another one. Yin Yang snake came in pairs after all," Ye Jieye said.
The news that there are two protector guardians in Aurora Glaciers caught everyone off guard, even the Heavenly Guardians, who were also unaware of the presence of the second serpent Ye Jieye described.
Heavenly Guardian Lu asked, "There is another snake. How come we only see one every time we go there?"
"He is hidden underground. Under the Aurora Glaciers, there's an active volcano. It's a good training ground for those who wield the fire. Grandfather Lu should also go there sometimes," Ye Jieye said.
Heavenly Guardian Mu said, "If Xiao is correct, then the Aurora Glaciers aren't just an ice-based land but a dual fire and ice. No wonder there are two protector guardians. We should inform the crown about this usually, but lately they are in the middle of the fight for the throne. Let's wait for them to stabilize that first."
"There are also the ruins of time. There is a problem one after another. Sigh~" Heavenly Guardian Mo Xinyue.
Ye Jieye said, "After curing Anxia, we plan on returning to Anairam Trench to hunt. There is also the Star Fall Garden."
"You two wanted to hunt in the other danger zones too. That's fine, but what should be done about the Ruins of Time?" Heavenly Guardian Mu Zang asked.
Ye Jieye said, "We will be back before it opens. I had a feeling it would happen at the end of this year, so we still have a lot of time before it opens. But there would be some glitches in the middle, and some monsters might escape during that time."
"If it's like that, then it's better to keep an eye on it. Don't worry, I'm here. If I am not enough, then Mo Xinyue is also here to help," Lu Wangle said.
Mo Xinyue thought for a moment and said, "If you are going to the danger zones, can you help me train a few of our hunters?"
Ye Jieye and Mo Xuejing looked at each other.
"We don't mind. Lu Shang and Leica will be going as well to train Yuhan and the rest," Mo Xuejing said.
Ye Jieye said, "Not too many. A small elite group should suffice."
"I also thought so. Six in a group should do. Three from Mo and another three from Lu. That should be enough for an elite team. Zang's people are all veteran hunters. So there is no need to bring them out for training," Mo Xinyue said.
Ye Jieye stood up and said, "Then prepare them before we leave. We planned to stay here for another three days before returning to Numen Town to rest for a week. After that, we are heading to Anairam Trench, then Star Fall Garden next."
"Grandpa, Grandpa Mu, Grandpa Lu, we are going to cure Anxia's physical defects first. Please excuse us," Mo Xuejing said.
Mu Zang said, "Go ahead. That should be prioritized."
"Xiao Ye, where is Shang? Didn't he leave with you?" Lu Wangle asked.
Ye Jieye said, "He will be back before dinner. I asked him to exterminate the barbarians for me."
Silence~
When the others learned that Lu Shang had been dispatched by Ye Jieye to wipe out the barbarians, they did not respond. The individuals who battled these creatures were already struggling to defeat a hundred, but Ye Jieye ordered Lu Shang to wipe them off.
Leica said, "Please don't worry. A'Shang shouldn't be alone. If he is, then he shouldn't be able to return by dinner. Lord Ye must have sent some beings with him."
The elders had only then begun to relax. Ye Jieye did not go into detail about this, and it was clear that he had no intention of explaining the procedure to them, but it seemed that one race would vanish simply for offending Satan.
