Chapter 436: 9.55 Second Blue Star – Dreaming
Seeing the pitiful appearance of his lover, Ye Xiajie could only accept his hidden reason for not telling him anything. His heartaches beyond his control seeing this kind of expression on his wife’s white face. Hei Anjing hugs him tightly in his embrace as if he was so afraid that he would lose him. Then his words that include the word again, just how many times had I died in front of him that he was traumatized to this point.
After crying for a long time plus with his weakened state, Hei Anjing fainted after a while on top of his husband. He was hugging so tight that even his legs were wrapped around the Ghost King’s waist afraid he would disappear.
The body temperature of his wife is too low. It was cold as if he didn’t have any source of heat within his body. Though his wife’s temperature had always been on the low side because of his strong bloodline which controls ice, his current state is still a bit abnormal. It was too cold as if he was hugging a block of ice.
But thinking about his wife’s soul’s situation, it seems he was injured to the point that he couldn’t even wake up as soon as he got the body. In this world, his wife didn’t take over someone’s vessel but entered the reincarnation circle of this world. He was reborn with a mortal body called Xue Hua while Hei Anjing’s soul had recently just woke up.
This state is a bit similar to his former state where he couldn’t even properly wake up as soon as he wanted. But unlike him, his wife just did so in this world which shows how much lacking his divine energy is to heal himself.
Ye Xiajie mumbled, “Even after dual cultivating every night your soul isn’t nourished at all. Is it because I did it with your mortal self rather than when you are awake, Baby?”
He made sure that Hei Anjing was completely covered with a blanket while his strong arms were encircling the person himself as if he wanted to merge with him. He allowed him to rest for a bit and once his wife woke up they would need to dual cultivate again to stabilize Hei Anjing’s soul in the vessel.
“It seems we need to stay in this world for a bit longer than the past ones. Either that or directly destroy the world and steal the world energy it possessed. According to Yue, this place seems to have an upper realm, maybe the qi in that place wouldn’t be as scarce as in this place,” talked Ye Xiajie on his own as he observed the sleeping figure within his embrace.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the city, Xia Jieye who was enjoying his drink suddenly crashed the cup in his hands. The teacup fragmented to pieces as the tea in it burst within the hand of the one who was drinking. He was watching Hei Anjing as he had always been. When he saw his other self questioning Hei Anjing about their death he could almost not hold back his anger and go to that place.
Xia Jieye the God of Void spoke, “This other me is brainless! I’ve worked so hard trying to prevent the little one from crying on me and he made Jing’er countless times. Furthermore, in that last world, I could believe him. Why would he fake his death just because he wanted to know his memories of some past? To die in front of Jing’er, he is a fool.
As expected, ignorance is bliss. How would he know how many times Jing’er witnessed our death within these multiple worlds? Though I never experienced it, I’ve also watched Siwang go all over those worlds, stars, and every universe he could find just to find his other half.
In the first thousand worlds where that man’s soul fragments had lived, Siwang can only watch as those soul fragments live their short span lives. Live then death. Reborn to die once again. Until they’ve all reached the right time reincarnation and merge in progress so the twelve major soul fragments would be reborn.
It wouldn’t be surprising for Jing’er to be traumatized even if Siwang almost broke down in progress that time. Just who could bear to see the death of his lover multiple times but unable to do anything about it. The Origin had given the hope to revive a person but the requirements to fulfill it is a bit hard to complete.
One must need to wait for the major soul fragments to be born. Two, these twelve soul fragments must never die accidentally with the true sense of death. They must leave until their lifespan ends or they gather enough strength to destroy the world itself. Once one of his major soul fragments died then the one who was reviving would need to sacrifice once more for another chance. Who knows what his little had sacrificed for this case.”
Remembering his little one’s white face just now, made him thankfully yet sad. He knew how much one would need to sacrifice for one to be given a chance to revive a dead person.
“If only our soul didn’t split, that bastard Ye Mo wouldn’t be able to kill us at all. When we return at that time I will annihilate the whole Ye Gui Race for real this time,” mumbled Xia Jieye as he watched the couple at the surface of the water, that man with the same face and soul as him is too useless yet… Gave security to his little one. It was only because of this that he is willing to turn a blind eye to almost everything.
Those scarlet eyes glinted as they landed on his other soul. Then slyness and anger were evident within those red orbs. No one knows what he is planning but there is no way he would let Ye Xiajie leave unpunished for making his little one cry.
“Since you said you cannot understand then I’ll show you a nightmare of what you want to know,” said Xia Jieye.

From the perspective of the Fox God, Hu Yue and Xue Yan.
After Hu Yue lost consciousness due to immense pain in his head, he blackout and suffered from a high fever that evening. Even though as a God illness is impossible for them to have their current vessels aren’t immortal in this world.
Hu Yue grits his teeth in pain while sweating a lot as he sleeps. He is obviously suffering from a nightmare but no one how many times Xue Yan tries to wake him up he wouldn’t wake up at all.
ARGH! Haah~ Grrgh… Urgh~
Xue Yan keeps wiping the Fox God’s sweat.
“Just why aren’t you waking up? What are you dreaming of right now?” mumbled Xue Yan as he looked after Hu Yue.
Within Hu Yue’s nightmare, he could not see his appearance at all. He woke up in an unknown place. The surroundings look like a water dungeon where underground roots are hanging and a pool of water that restrains his lower body and arms. This black chain blocks his qi and couldn’t use it at all to struggle. There is also an unbearable burning pain on his back as if he had been whipped by a heated rod leaving burns on his skin.
Lou Wuye looked around and saw that he was imprisoned in an underground water dungeon but those kinds of things only exist in high-tier worlds. He looks around him and stares at the unfamiliar yet familiar scenery before him.
“What the hell is this place? Aren’t I’m in a mid-tier world with the Lord God and the others?” whispered Lou Wuye only when he saw his current appearance on the water reflection that he was shocked.
It was his real appearance though his hair color is different from his original dark gray. Who would expect one would see himself looking like a water sprite. His hair and eyes were light blue in color. His features are the same even his face but the shade of his hair and eyes were completely different from his original light gray hair and golden-brown eyes.
He suddenly lowered his head to look at his face closer only to feel the prickling pain on his back he couldn’t help but hiss as it was too painful without any qi to block his sense of pain. It’s been a while since he felt this kind of injury. Ever since he had become a warden there are only a few people who could fight him to death much less injure him.
He had almost forgotten what pain is for not experiencing it for too long. As a warden, he is the one to inflict the pain… He had handled numerous prisoners under his control and very few had successfully completed their trials and most of them failed at the last phase. Only Prisoner Yun Ming is different, he had never cared nor complained about all the suffering and torment he had suffered. Instead, he accepted all of it. He is strong-willed despite his current state.
Even after undergoing all levels of hell, he comes out there alive as if something in this world exists to keep him from continuing. He eventually fell for this person and accompanied him through the world, helping him in secret and would sometimes go against the rules to keep him alive.
Of course, there is no way those things he had done wouldn’t be noticed by their Lord God as he is the ruler of the Nether System but because his wife took a liking to Prisoner Yun Ming that he turned a blind eye to what his subordinate had done. No one knew what he planned to do afterward.
At first, he truly couldn’t understand why he would fall for a prisoner, he had been a warden for a long time. He is a being that was born in the Nether System itself. He is someone that isn’t able to sympathize with a prisoner for the few hundred he had stayed in Nether, he had never cared about anyone except for his tasks. But when Prisoner Yun Ming was assigned to him everything had changed, he had a feeling that the person he had been waiting for had finally returned. It was that kind of feeling that attracted him to him until he eventually fell for him.
Now opening his eyes in some weird place that gave him a Deja Vu feeling made him uncomfortable as if some Dream God is playing a prank on him.
Lou Wuye murmured, “The last thing I remember before I open my eyes here is that we are accompanying the Lord God to drink. Then he got drunk and got grabbed by Lord Hei and went back to their own rooms. Then I, Ming’er, and Zhi Yue were left behind. We were talking about someone. Who was it again? Ugh~ did I get drunk as well? Impossible I just finished a cup. Ah right! It’s that person. Xia Jieye.”
He was talking to himself when a voice interrupted his thoughts which he was voicing out loud.
“To think the Great Elder would be rude to the person he admires the most and call that Venerable’s name without honorifics. Did you hit your head when you got imprisoned by his Great Elder?” said the voice that comes from in front of him.
Lou Wuye was startled at first; he didn’t hear any sounds of footsteps when this person came over. He raised his head and saw a teenager wearing a ragged robe. He looks like a servant yet his demeanor isn’t unlike that of a mere servant.
But what surprised Lou Wuye is the appearance of this young man. He definitely looks like Yun Ming but like him his hair and eye color were different. It was red, his hair and eyes.
Lou Wuye calls in shocked, “Ming’er?”
The young man frowned by how intimate his name was called. He looks and observes the Great elder of Ye Gui race in front of him with scrutinizing eyes but he could see anything different from this person except that his expression was less cold than before.
“Great Elder. You might have forgotten. It is true that you named me Ming but… this one is merely your humble servant who had betrayed you. The reason you were in this underground dungeon is because of Lou Ming.”
