Chapter 1686: 23.5 Vearth - It was...
In some high-class world…
The Ancient God of End was caught. His divinity was sealed, and he was no different than a mortal. He was chained and full of wounds. These are clear wounds of torture. After all, even if he was sealed and tortured, he couldn't die. The immortality of Ancient Gods isn't attached to their divinity by their vessel. Due to arrogance thinking that he is undefeatable, the Ancient God of End, Jiewei, ended up being captured. The one who captured him was none other than the real body of Lord Chaos, who calls himself Xue Hunluan. The last soul fragment of the God of Destruction finally rebelled against his original.
Lord Chaos sat in the wooden chair in front of the chained Ancient God of End, Jiewei. His expression was completely cold and included his whole aura. He is the only soul fragment of Hei Anjing who can be called Snow, the incomplete Ancient God who suffered greatly inside the Void after being forgotten.
Clang. Clang.
"You are here again! How long are we going to do this? My grandson, should I call you my grandson's soul fragment?" said Jiewei, the Ancient God of End.
The young man in front of him emits a cold aura, one that can materialize in real ice. In just a few minutes the whole prison was covered in ice, and the man who had caused that was expressionless as he was before. In his mortal state, Jiewei, the Ancient God of End, can feel the coldness spreading in his bones, and out of his control, he starts trembling.
Xue Hunluan said, "Do you think you have the right to call me your grandson? You, who caused his death in his first life when he was only three years old?"
"In this world, there is only you and your spouse, Qiyuan, the Ancient God of Origin, who do not have the right to call us your grandson! You watched him die. You watched him get tortured, and you locked us up in the Void. You hated us. You hated him just because he is the son born from your beloved son and the man you loathe the most."
The Ancient God of End, Jiewei, turns serious as he was listening to all accusations that fell on him. However, he didn't deny it. As this is the truth that had happened a long time ago and also something he and Qiyuan regret the most aside from causing the death of their son, Hunluan.
Jiewei asked, "What is wrong with you? You are normally not this emotional."
"Shut up! You guys are not worth forgiving. Even Hunluan and An Shizhe aren't! You chose to turn a blind eye to our suffering while the latter failed to protect us, causing us to suffer unimaginable pain. There is also this one guy who said he will return, but due to his carelessness with just one interference from you, he forgot even his promise."
"None of you is worthy of any forgiveness. That's why you should all die. I cannot understand why 'he' is willing to forgive you when he suffered enough to no longer be sane!"
The Ancient God of End, Jiewei, was stunned. He knew the 'he' the young man in front of him was talking about. He is the only child of his son, Hunluan, and also the last Ancient God aside from him and Qiyuan. He had also met that person multiple times. However, he didn't even know that the child had all of his memories of that era, where he wasn't even treated as a living being and was merely a prisoner who could only look up at the sky while covered in all kinds of wounds.
He was beheaded. He suffered thousands of cuts. A torture all day and night. There are times he would scream in pain until his voice was hoarse. Calling for help. Asking them to stop. However, they turn a deaf ear to his pain as if he doesn't exist in their world.
Jiewei can still recall the small hand that grabbed his robes at that time, begging him to save him and calling him grandfather. At that time, he not only kicked his hands but also looked down on him. Thinking about how that clear, bright silver turned murky until it was tainted with madness, he had only seen it once in his life. The same look when he and Qiyuan left behind the young Hunluan in that dark galaxy alone.
While reminiscing about the forgotten era, Xue Hunluan grabs him by his hair, forcing him to look up. Meeting those pairs of silver irises looking down on him.
"Why are you in a daze?"
"By the way, I have a present for you. You should enjoy this as well. I especially grabbed him for you so you can be together~," said Lord Chaos as he waved his hand, showing the scene at the prison next to this one.
The Ancient God of End was shocked when he saw who was on the other side. It was Tun Shizhe torturing the new prisoner on the other side. What surprised him was that the person being tortured was none other than his spouse, the Ancient God of Origin, Qiyuan. His eyes were currently being dug out. Unfortunately, unlike the Ancient God of End, this one didn't have the ability to bear any pain. Qiyuan is a god who was protected by Jiewei all his life.
AHHH~~
It hurts! Stop! Ugh! WAAAHHH~
Jiewei exclaims, "Q-Qiyuan?! How? Why? How did you take him away from the Upper Realm!?"
Chuckles~
Xue Hunluan laughs and said, "I don't know~ Maybe someone has helped us, or maybe this one is just simply careless~"
Hahaha~
The Ancient God of End was enraged. But what can he even do? He was chained, his divinity was sealed, and he was powerless. He just couldn't understand why his other half, who was supposed to be safely hiding in the upper realm, was captured by these guys. He just couldn't understand what was happening right now.
"Stop! Stop it! Do you think the God of Destruction will forgive you for doing this?!! Let him go! Let us go and treat everything as a dream," the ancient god of the end, Jiewei, said.
Tun Shizhe heard the threat in Jiewei's words and snorted. He said, "Do you think we can sneak into the upper realm and grab an ancient god without anyone's help?"
Jiewei understood that there was someone from the upper realm who allowed them in. However, who can do such a thing? All of a sudden, the God of Destruction's face flashed in his mind, and he was speechless.
He stutters as it is hard to ask such a question. "I-Is it… the God of Destruction?"
"Him? No. No. That is a man who threatened to kill us. Would he even help us get back at you?" Tun Shizhe said.
Lord Chaos, Xue Hunluan said, "You would never believe who it was, even if we told you who it was."
"Tell me!" shouted the Ancient God of End.
Xue Hunluan said, "It was…"

In the Ancient star…
Hunluan had returned ahead of time to gather the materials to create his vessel, and this will all be passed to the Sovereign God of Light and Creation, Shen Siwang. He has finished gathering everything and is watching his son and son-in-law happily celebrating at the Mo family mansion together with their family in this lifetime. Actually, if he wanted to, he could join them, and the Mo family would definitely welcome his presence. However, he chose not to join them, at least not for now.
If he is going to join such a family gathering, it is better if An Shizhe is with him. When that time comes, it means that the world is now completely peaceful. At least at the side that didn't involve the outsiders of this cosmos.
The Ancient God of Chaos, Hunluan, said, "Such a family gathering isn't bad at all."
He continues to watch quietly while seated on a simple chair in his old house. This is the house that was hidden after he decided to kill the crazed World Eater and die with him. The simple and old house where he, An Shizhe, and the young An Heijing used to live. He chose to live in this place after his consciousness had returned to his soul, which was nourished by his son's help.
"When A'Zhe is back, attending to and preparing such things can be put in a plan. After all, this time, no one can stop our family from being together. Those who do can disappear one by one," Ancient God of Chaos, Hunluan, mumbles. He wears an expression devoid of emotions. Similar to the ones when Hei Anjing was truly angry.
No one knows what he is thinking about as he watches the happy scene reflected in the small pond outside the small house beside the small farm. It was as if he were living alone in the Ancient Star, not caring for the others who annoyed him and ignoring them completely. He is like a sleeping lion waiting for the right time to wake up and overwhelm all others with his presence alone.
