Chapter 184: 6.45 Third Green Star – Back in the Dimensional Space
After hearing the explanation of Cao Junye, Yun Suisen paled in disbelief. Who would have expected that he would hear something having the cultivation stage of Immortality and meeting one before him.
Immortal God. This is the stage that is just directly below the strongest of all realms. Now this humongous tree in front of them possessed such a heavenly defying creature!? He’ll be damned if he still stays here.
Yun Suisen said, “Let’s go. Avoid it. Since it’s dangerous. We’re near the cliff anyway, the blood vines should be growing there somewhere.”
“Sigh~ how come you’re still a coward.” murmured Ximen Xueya.
“I-Its normal.”
Ximen Xueya and his husband, Cao Junye exchanged stares before nodding at each other. The general started issuing his next commands.
“Retreat! Avoid the Willow Tree!” Exclaimed Cao Junye.
Everyone else had walked away avoiding even the lightest shaded region of the willow tree. Yun Suisen took the lead with Shi Moye and Su Liye followed by the group of soldiers while their rear was protected by Cao Junye and Ximen Xueya. Their sides were protected by Wang Lei and Baize.
At the end of the line of the group Ximen Xueya is still staring at the Celestial Willow Tree. There’s a serious yet indecisive expression on his ethereal face.
“Yue, this tree would allow one to look through his own memories in exchange of life, is that it?” asked Yun Suisen.
This weird question left System Yue bewildered.
[That is indeed right but host… What are you planning to do? It is true that with this tree’s help you would be able to look at your sealed memories but you only have one life!?]
Hearing System Yue’s explanation, a cold yet meaningful smile appeared on Ximen Xueya’s face. It was different from his smile when he is spending time with his husband or son, the smile he shows at this moment left those who could see it a fleeting yet imprinting memory. Both beautiful yet indescribable.
Cao Junye watches his wife with worry and seriousness in his gaze. He would immediately drag Ximen Xueya away the moment he saw him step forward towards that Willow Tree. He knows how dangerous that strange tree is.
“Baby? Let’s go?” said Cao Junye as he grabbed Ximen Xueya’s hand.
His hand was held as if to comfort him only Xueya knew the firmness and tight hold of Junye’s hand to his. He wasn’t asking him but telling him to come with him.
Ximen Xueya and Cao Junye stared at each other for a while in silence but everyone around them could feel the tension between them. At first the rest of the group thought there would be a quarrel between the couple only for Ximen Xueya to agree nonetheless.
“Well then let’s go. Don’t Look so serious. I will listen to you.” said Ximen Xueya as he smiled at his husband.
Sighing in relief, Cao Junye kissed his wife’s forehead before walking away with others hand in hand. Only Ximen Xueya sneaks a peek at that Willow Tree not knowing what he truly plans to do.
Their journey continues. After avoiding the Celestial Willow Tree, the group had finally found the blood vines from another side of the cliff. It was just across the territory of the Celestial Willow Tree.
There’s a manmade old bridge that connects the two separated lands. Clearly, build before the end of the world had arrived. Thankfully there are some mental ability users with them. They helped in strengthening the bridge for everyone to be able to cross it.
Seeing the cliff, it was Ximen Xueya who personally looked down on the abyss below. He only saw a distant line of river and greenery. With his clear sight he could even see the mutated animals under the cliff. The levels of those animals were even beyond those on the surface.
[Host there are level 10 and above mutated beast in the cliff! What is wrong with this place!? There’s even a Celestial Willow Tree here.]
Ximen Xueya replied in his mind, ‘There are even some who already reached the threshold for Mystical Rank. This A Rank world is about to be upgraded to S Rank no wonder Apocalypse has arrived. This Apocalypse is this world’s way of cleansing weaker beings.’
[Upgrading Star. If so then why would this world still allow outsiders to enter. Normally an upgrading world would close up preventing others from entering but we and the rest including those three destroyers had been able to enter.]
“Because before we arrive there isn’t enough qi for this star to use. It needed outside sources to refuel its qi. In the beginning it planned to use me but… It didn’t expect I would be a threat he couldn’t control.” replied Xueya in his mind.
[What should we do now?]
“Ignore it. For now…”
The conversation between System Yue and his host, Ximen Xueya ended. Yun Suisen followed his friend by the cliff and saw the blood vines they were looking for.
Yun Suisen said, “Xuexue there are blood vines on this cliff. How should we get it?”
“If you fall even on this cliff, I thought there would still be a river. The one you would meet would no longer be Shizi but a huge divine rank beast of all kinds.” said Xueya with a playful smile.
“Buh~ I’m helping you get your strawberry before and that time someone pushed me off the cliff!!!” commented Yun Suisen.
All of the sudden someone hugged him from behind. It’s more like someone ran towards for a hug which almost caused him to fall off the cliff.
AAHH!!!
Feeling that someone is grabbing his pants he looks down and sees that it was little nephew.
Giggling, the little bun reached out his small hands up. “Shushu carry~~”
Yun Suisen carried his little nephew and complained, “Xiao Chi Shushu almost fell down the cliff just now. Don’t go running around the cliff! It’s dangerous.”
The scolded Chino nodded his head and lowered it like a pitiful puppy. Suddenly Oreo, who followed his master to look for his uncle, suddenly started barking.
ARFF… ARFF! GROWLS~
Yun Suisen thought that Oreo was angry that he was scolding his little master.
“What? I just scolded your master a bit and you’re getting angry as well. Bad Oreo!” responded Yun Suisen but Oreo didn’t stop barking at him at all.
ARFF! ARFF!! ARFFF!!!
Yun Suisen, “Stop barking at me!”
What he didn’t notice is that everyone who was far from the cliff was looking surprised at something behind him. None of the soldiers dared to move at all. With eyes wide open they were all looking at that thing behind Yun Suisen.
“Wifey, don’t turn around!” said Shi Moye as he panicky wanted to run over with Su Liye but their shoulders were grabbed by Wang Lei stopping their tracks.
Wang Lei said, “Don’t run over the land to where they are standing, it is a hanging stone. There’s a limited weight it could bear. If all of us ran over that part of the cliff it would collapse.”
“What should we do? Sui is there. Chino is also there. Even Master Xueya.” said Su Liye.
“My wife is there. What are you worried about?” said Cao Junye.
While at the cliff, Ximen Chino, who is being carried by his Uncle, saw what kind of creature was behind them. It’s a carnivorous plant. With a mouth like opening with few teeth. It was wiggling around and slightly opening its mouth intending to eat Yun Suisen, Ximen Chino and Ximen Xueya.
Ximen Chino spoke cheerfully as if nothing could make him fear and everything new he sees is interesting.
“Daddy~ Shushu~ looks like this plant is weird. It has a big mouth!”
Yun Suisen upon hearing it’s nephew’s description of the plant. He had an inkling that he knew that such a plant is a carnivorous plant. Slowly looking back he saw a huge Venus Flytrap just right behind him. He ran off beside Xueya and hid behind it.
Because of this action the Venus flytrap’s target had moved to Ximen Xueya. Now all three of them were being targeted. The roots of the plants started to spread further by the cliff and everyone could hear the cracking of the land under them.
Yun Suisen started panicking, “Woa~ the land under our feet is breaking! Xuexue do something!!!”
They’ve only heard a soft sigh and the whole cliff where they were standing is now completely covered in Ice. Even the Venus flytrap and the blood vines were caught in it turning helplessly to ice statues.
Ximen Xueya lightly touched his snowflake earring before the frozen Venus Flytrap and Blood Vines disappeared on the side of the cliff. Obviously he transferred them inside his dimensional space.
The whole action was done nonchalantly and Ximen Xueya acted as if it was something so simple for him. Except for Cao Junye and the rest who were used to it, the soldiers were once again left dumbfounded by such a scene.
Yun Suisen sighed in relief after seeing that carnivorous plant disappearing.
“Fuck! That surprised me!” exclaimed Yun Suisen.
“You do know that shouting is like calling for someone to come over right? Stupid rabbit.” said Cao Junye.
“Hah! What do you mean!?” asked Yun Suisen bewildering.
Only to once again hear Oreo barking loudly towards the cliff.
Growls~ ARRFF! ARFFF!
The dog’s barking was followed by a huge breeze that could even cause a tornado instantly. This strong breeze is clearly targeting them.
SQUEAK!!!
“Wow~ now it’s a freaking huge bird!” screamed Yun Suisen.
“This is not an ordinary bird. Look at its fire colored feathers and long tailed feathers. It is also made of fire.” said Ximen Xueya.
“Daddy~ it’s a phoenix!!! Wow~~”
“Phoenix! Why would it exist here!!!?”
Seeing a huge phoenix flying further intending to burn them all to crisp, Ximen Xueya had to teleport them all inside his dimensional space for safety. This is the first time Yun Suisen and the rest of their team have entered such a magical place.
After few explanations about the place the others had moved around on their own while Ximen Xueya and his son, Ximen Chino, Cao Junye, Wang Lei, Baize and Xu Lin together with the newly joined Yun Suisen, Su Liye and Shi Moye.
They had gathered in the living room. Cao Junye with his son, Chino had run off to the kitchen to cook lunch.
“Xuexue, your husband is still the same as before. Still scary~ ba.” whispered Yun Suisen.
“Get used to it dear. The boss has always been like that to others.” said Su Liye.
Shi Moye also said, “It’s already better now that he’s not throwing us out of the house.”
“That’s because you eat a lot. All three of you!” said Wang Lei.
Shi Moye retorted, “Ha~ who are you anyway mister?”
Su Liye spoke, “Calm down, Lang! Since he is the boss’ subordinate, he must be Shizi.”
“Shizi!? For real!?” exclaimed by both Shi Moye and Yun Suisen as they’ve circled around Wang Lei.
Wang Lei with a frown said, “Seat down and explain your situation. How could newbies of the God System enter in an A rank World!?”

________________
Yun Suisen and Shi Moye sat down after Wang Lei told them to do so.
“Let them do it first. These two are a World hopper and system duo from God System.” said Ximen Xueya as he let the two introduce themselves.
“I’m Xu Lin in this world. My real name is Liu Yan. God Class world hopper and this is my system, Baize.”
Xu Lin had introduced himself and his system, Baize, to everyone. Yun Suisen and the other two looked at Baize in surprise. They might be newbie ascended deities but they at least know the basics that systems are not allowed to use their human forms outside the main system.
“But how could he…” said Yun Suisen while looking at Baize.
Baize responded, “With the permission of authority by Venerable Lord Hei.”
Yun Suisen and the other two instantly understood what Baize meant. After ascension and letting people from the God System see the letter Xuebao had left for Tuzi that time. They were suddenly welcomed as esteemed guests that only Ruler Gods of the God System had the authority to welcome them.
That time the one who helped them the whole way of processing as world hoppers is the God of Reincarnation whom they’ve learned after a long time that he is the current Main God of the God System. There they learned the real identity of Hei Anjing.
