I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot Chapter 726: 14.2 Last Violet Star - Waking up with no memories

Chapter 726: 14.2 Last Violet Star - Waking up with no memories

[World Plot: You are Hei Anjing. With a courtesy name of Hei Wuan. Your identity is the God of Punishment who broke the divine law of impartiality and was punished by the Immortal Emperor to be imprisoned in Purgatory for 10 years. Once he had entered the purgatory Hei Anjing was stripped of his God physique and with his injured soul, he had suffered for 1000 years under his own domain. Subsequently, 100 years had passed in the Immortal Realm and 10 years had passed in the Mortal Realm.]
[A/n: All cultivators and immortals had birth names and courtesy names. Their birth name can only be called by their family and loved ones while the courtesy name is what other people call instead.
[Missions:
Main: Eradicate the Devil King that was hidden in the mortal world.
Side Missions:
*Eliminate all devils in the Mortal Realm.
*Complete the Oath the God of Punishment had made.
*Live a long and happy life together with the Oath Bearer.
---
Rewards: Special Permission to share memory fragments with your other soul fragments.
Failure of mission: Soul will eradicate.]
Hei Anjing reacted coolly after seeing the world plot and missions, especially the punishment for failure. He is more interested in the reward instead.
"The reward is something I need. With that authority, he wouldn't have to suffer much in the final trial of revival. I wonder who he is in this world."
"Hah? Whom was I talking about just now?"
The words of Hei Anjing turn into murmurs, his eyes once again closing slowly as if he wanted to go back to sleep.
" …I feel tired. I want to sleep... for a bit longer…"
Before Hei Anjing's consciousness entered a slumbering state a panicking voice could be heard ringing in his head. The voice felt familiar, which immediately woke up Hei Anjing. It was System Yue.
[L-Lord Hei? Lord Hei!? Please don't sleep! 1000 years had passed in Purgatory. Hei Wan and his wife are on their way to pick you up! Please don't sleep anymore. Lod Hei you have suffered… Yue is…is… wuwuwu~]
System Yue and System Yang arrived in this world as soon as they finished their tasks in the Netherworld. But when they arrived they saw Hei Anjing's soul sleeping while being tortured inside the Purgatory. After learning about the plot the two cannot do anything to bring Lord Hei out of that place. Doing so would mean the failure of Lord Hei's mission. They even saw the penalty of failure. They were frightened by the cruelty of this world and its Origin. This was the first time they've seen the world bestow a penalty of failure on Lord Hei. It can only mean that his current soul fragment had already lost its authority over the world as his soul had gotten so much weaker than before.
"Yue… this is my choice. It was I who was not willing to return to the system space after the last world. These punishments are nothing to me. Our bloodline has always been born with an extremely high tolerance for pain. In this world, there is only one thing that could really allow us to feel real pain. Only when our love causes us harm will real pain be dealt to us. That is… the only real pain we know."
[But Lord Hei! This is unfair. The punishment you are undergoing is not even for you but for the original.]
Hei Anjing spoke, "No... you are wrong. The original soul of this world is a part of my soul fragment. In short, he is a part of the main soul and a soul fragment like me. Now that we had to merge my cultivation had partly returned to normal. A tenth of my original cultivation had returned. Moreover, this world allows me to cultivate. I should be able to increase my strength more and complete this world without problems."
[But...!]
Hei Anjing decided to change the topic abruptly and asked System Yue.
"Where is Yang? Isn't he supposed to be with you?"
[I don't know. A'Yang had descended to the Mortal Realm looking for Milord. He told me to stay with Lord Hei first as he felt a few strong aurae in this world which is able to contend with our strength even in our humanoid form and that... This world is a lot more dangerous than the other worlds before. He was left alone. It's been 100 years in the Immortal realm since he had descended.]
Hei Anjing said, "I see. Then who is this Hei Wan and his wife that you are talking about?"
[Hei Wan is the eldest King of the Hei Clan. He is your elder brother in this world. The God of War. His other half is Bai Hua, the God of Reincarnation. Your mother of this world is Cao Roulan, the immortal Empress of the Heavenly Realm. They came to pick you up as today is supposed to be the last day of your imprisonment in Purgatory.]
"You said I had been sleeping all throughout the process of punishment. In 1000 years of torture I was asleep all this time?"
[Yes, Lord Hei. If A'Yang didn't tell me that you are okay, I would have thought that Lord Hei had entered Eternal Sleep.]
Eternal Sleep. Gods in Vearth never die unless they were killed. Those who were bored of life would enter Eternal Sleep and would sleep for generations until they woke up on their own. But this sleep is close to a state of death, it is rare for someone sleeping that long to wake up anymore most of them sleep for eternity.
"I want to know the Cultivation Stages in this world," said Hei Anjing.
[Lord Hei, the Cultivation realm of this world is a bit weaker than our world.
Qi Cultivations: [Mortal Realm]
Qi Gathering (10 Stages and 3 phases (Low, mid, peak)
Foundation Establishment (10 Stages and 3 phases (Low, mid, peak)
Golden Core (3 phases (Low, mid, peak)
Nascent Soul (Low, mid, peak)
Soul Transformation (Low, mid, peak)
Ascension
---
[Immortal Stages]
Half Immortal
True Immortal
Immortal King
Immortal Emperor
Heavenly Saint
Celestial Being
True God
Primordial God]
Hei Anjing spoke, "I see. So reaching the Primordial God Stage means they could ascend to Vearth. But that stage in Vearth is only considered as a Demigod. But a tenth of my cultivation had returned so I can at least be considered as Primordial God in this world. Sigh! I guess I need to seal my cultivation more before coming out. What is the original cultivation stage?"
[The original God of Punishment used to be a Celestial Being but his soul was injured and his cultivation degraded to an Immortal King Stage. Now he is the weakest of everyone from the Hei Clan.]
"What is the cultivation of my family in this world?"
[The Immortal Emperor is Peak True God, his strength is almost reaching the threshold for Primordial God Stage but for some reason he is holding back his Ascension.]
"It must be because of his Empress," commented Hei Anjing.
[Lord Hei is right. The Empress is only low on the True God Stage. Your father in this world is waiting for his wife to reach the same strength as him before they could ascend together. The eldest King, Hei Wan is at Celestial Being mid-level. His wife Bai Hua is at Celestial Being low level.]
Hei Anjing said, "I see. Then I will adjust it to Peak Immortal King."
Sigh~
As the aura that protects his soul lessened it. The pain and throbbing in his would self had been maximized more than a hundred times. But Hei Anjing's expression remains cold and expressionless. As if the incurring pain all over him was just a wind breeze passing by. But the clutching of his fist says otherwise, as he currently has his physical body at this moment his tightened fist would have definitely shed blood.
System Yue asked worriedly, [Lord Hei, are you alright?]
Hei Anjing replied, "I'm fine. Just a bit too sleepy."
He then once again slowly closed his eyes wanting to rest but the door of the Purgatory had suddenly appeared and opened revealing a rare light that descends into this eerie and gloomy realm. Hei Anjing had already closed his eyes and didn't see the people calling his name. But he remains laying on the ground of black fire and bloodied floor as he keeps his phoenix-shaped eyes closed. Sounds of hurried footsteps were heard approaching near him but he ignored them. Anjing kept his mind in the void when he suddenly felt someone removing the extremely heavy chains that bound his flesh and soul to this land of demise.
Only the voices calling his name were heard.
"A'Jing!!!"
Hei Anjing was brought out of Purgatory and was now laying on a soft and clean mattress in the Heavenly Palace. He is currently lying on a king-sized bed with black bedding surrounded by silk-covered pillows. If he opens his eyes and looks around the room he will see that there is a beautiful pond in the courtyard just outside his room and that his room is full of luxurious things.
The people who brought him away are his elder brother, brother-in-law, and his Empress Mother. They only place him on the bed after cleaning him up with a cleansing spell and putting a soft comfortable robe over his numbed corporeal soul vessel.
A few minutes ago. Hei Anjing felt his soul leaving the burning floor as he was lifted and carried away from that place. But he remained stagnant with his eyes closed even when the light hit the lids of his eyes as if he wanted to continue sleeping the suffering he experienced inside of that hell that took away most of his emotion and feelings.
Then afterward he felt his soul merge with his physical body but the fatigue only worsened as his weakened soul affected his vessel. He can only continue laying on the bed with his eyes closed while trying to run around his qi to stabilize his soul in this vessel.
While doing so, he felt a few familiar and unfamiliar presences around him. Two of the presence is something he knows and grew up with. It was the overbearing aura that his elder brother possessed and the gentle aura of life of his Saozi [wife of his brother], Bai Hua. These two acquainted auras are the ones that protected his mind from that hellish place of purgatory rendering him sane from immense pain that might lead him to madness.
They are the only reason Anjing didn't lose his mind after being imprisoned in Purgatory for 1000 whole years without seeing the light. The remaining aura is an unfamiliar aura. Someone the original had met before yet made him feel nostalgic. Hei Anjing kept his eyes closed pretending to be asleep while listening to the conversation between the three. As he expected, two of them are someone he knew. It was Hei Wan and his wife, Bai Hua.
Hei Wan asked, "Wife, why is A'Jing not waking up?"
An unfamiliar woman's voice worriedly cut in, "A'Hua! Is my baby alright!? Or being imprisoned in Purgatory for 1000 years made him lose his mind?"
"Please don't worry, Empress Mother. An'er's soul seems to be really tired. He doesn't open his eyes, but his mind is awake and can hear us," said Bai Hua.
"But why is he not opening his eyes?" asked Hei Wan.
Bai Hua reluctantly replied. "This… I don't know."
All of a sudden the woman suddenly took Hei Anjing from the bed and hugged him tightly into her arms tightly. Hei Anjing can hear her crying as teardrops were felt falling onto his neck but Hei Anjing still didn't open his eyes.
"Wuwu~ he must not wish to see me~ after all, it was my fault that his Emperor Father lost his emotions not even giving him any ounce of fatherly love. I even left him alone in the palace when he was young. An'er~ mommy is sorry. Everything is mom's fault. Don't worry Mommy will make sure to grant all your wishes.
Those mortals whom you wished to be revived with their memories intact I've already sent them back to the mortal realm years ago. Back to their home. I also made sure that those sinner's souls will suffer in hell without any hint of hope of leaving there. If you still have any wishes mom will make sure to grant them for you. An'er please don't ignore mommy~ Mommy misses you so much~" said the Immortal Empress of the Heavenly Realm.
