Who Stole My Eggs?

“Rumble—!”

Huo Yao’s Sin Pillar made a deafening sound, shaking the entire Six Realms.

The lightning-shaped Sin Pillar made a crackling sound, and countless cracks began to appear on its surface. The dazzling holy light emerged from these cracks and shot in all directions.

The holy light was neither gold nor silver, but it resembled gold and silver. It shone on all things. It was the divine light that belonged only to Tiandi.

With a loud noise, the entire Sin Pillar exploded completely, revealing the body wrapped inside.

It was a pillar of sin in the shape of a giant snake coiled around the pillar, and the snake’s body emitted strong holy light.

The sound of “clattering” chains was heard as the sin chains wrapped around the thunder-shaped sin pillar recoiled. They were menacing and sought to penetrate the giant snake.

A thick layer of dazzling golden light quickly enveloped the giant snake, and layers of sin chains entangled and pierced into the golden light. Although the giant snake was restrained, it could not be hurt.

A whirlpool suddenly appeared at the head of the giant snake pillar, and Xie Zuo fell out of it.

Xie Zuo was overwhelmed by the turbulent memories. He was unable to react, and was about to fall headfirst. The golden light wrapped around the giant snake pillar separated into a big golden hand and caught him carefully, placing him on the ground.

Xie Zuo laid on his back, looking at the golden light on the giant snake pillar, tears streaming down his face: “Huo Yao… I remember it all, Huo Yao!”

The earth-shaking movement in the Sin Pillar Forest had already attracted a large group of onlookers—Asuras wrapped in large black cloaks, watching carefully.

They didn’t know what was happening, but they could feel the strong fluctuations of divine power, so no one dared to approach.

The sound of rapid footsteps was heard, and all the Asuras turned around to find their new king rushing toward them.

The Asuras fell to their knees one after another, but did not attract the new king’s attention.

A sleepy little snake was still hanging on Huo Yao’s shoulder. The wind from his galloping blew the little snake away, but it quickly hugged him tighter.

Huo Yao got closer and closer to the dazzling giant snake-shaped pillar of sin and saw the figure he had longed for.

Xie Zuo stood with his back on him, and Huo Yao couldn’t see his expression clearly, but he knew that he shared the same emotions as him in that moment.

“Huo Yao——!” Xie Zuo ran toward him.

Huo Yao opened his arms, and Xie Zuo threw himself heavily into them.

Huo Yao hugged Xie Zuo tightly, and Xie Zuo hugged him back even tighter.

For a long time, neither of them spoke. They could only hear each other’s hearts, beating violently and reverberating intimately.

It was Xie Zuo who spoke first: “Have you remembered it all?”

“Yeah!” Huo Yao kissed his hair, forehead, bridge of nose, and lips. “I remembered everything!”

When the Scapegoat Pillar of Sin exploded, revealing the real Pillar of Sin inside, Huo Yao’s incomplete and chaotic memory was finally completed.

He thought of the days when he wandered in the void with the still-egg Tiandi, of the tens of thousands of years he spent as thunder and lightning with Tiandi in the land of void, and of the little moments between him, Heavenly Father, and Xie Zuo…

Xie Zuo raised his head and responded to him eagerly, his lips and teeth lingering with excitement: “…Me too, um, I remembered it all!”

Xie Zuo remembered that he was Tiandi, and that he had completely given up his identity as the founder to truly become a creature of the world and to no longer be Huo Yao’s “adopted father.” He had helped Demon King Xie Xiao extend her life and agreed to reincarnate with her help.

He had calculated everything correctly, but he didn’t expect that the day Xie Xiao gave birth would lead to such a terrible disaster. Not only would Xie Xiao be reduced to ashes, but all his previous memories would also be sealed.

Fortunately, though he had forgotten everything, he still ended up together with Huo Yao. Otherwise, he would have died of broken heart!

The little snake watched the two parents making out with wide eyes, and the tip of its tail turned golden-red in shame. It buried its head in its coiled body, feeling too embarrassed to look anymore and not bothering them.

Xie Zuo and Huo Yao couldn’t bear to be separated for a moment. They hugged each other closely, kissed passionately, and rubbed their noses together.

They had been separated for too long and had missed too much.

At that moment, their hearts were filled with gratitude. Even though they had forgotten each other, misunderstood, and separated, they still loved each other and were still together!

After a long time, Xie Zuo finally separated from Huo Yao. His lips were bitten by Huo Yao, and his hair was messed up by him.

Xie Zuo finally remembered that he had something serious to ask and pulled Huo Yao to look at the Pillar of Sin. “What on earth is going on? Why did you have to suffer for me? Come, change it quickly!”

Huo Yao looked carefully and found that the sin chains could not hurt the giant snake, so he was relieved and said, “I can’t change it back. I’ve already suffered it.”

“That won’t do. You must change it back!”

Huo Yao hugged Xie Zuo and said, “Why should I change it? You and I are one and the same. This is what I should do. Don’t worry about it. Come back with me!”

Xie Zuo kicked his legs in protest, saying that he had to resolve the “scapegoating” issue first, otherwise he would not go back. Seeing that he was being dishonest, Huo Yao simply tied him up and took him back to the palace by force.

Huo Yao threw Xie Zuo on the bed. Seeing this, the little snake consciously climbed off Huo Yao’s shoulder and went to sleep in the next room.

Xie Zuo’s eyes were red. “Don’t think about messing with me, just go change it first and come back soon.”

Huo Yao took away the magical rope that bound him, lowered his head, and kissed him deeply. “This is the most important thing!”

.

At dawn, Xie Zuo tugged at Huo Yao’s ears hard. “Are you feeling happy enough? Can you get up and do the important thing?”

Huo Yao held his hand and said, “It’s important issue when we are together.”

Xie Zuo had had enough, pushed him away, and sat up. “If you don’t explain to me well, I will go and ask other people.”

Seeing that he was about to get angry, Huo Yao hurriedly sat up and hugged him. “What I said is true. I can’t change it back.”

Xie Zuo touched the sin chain on Huo Yao’s wrist and felt very sad. “It’s all my fault…”

As the creator of the world, Xie Zuo should not have entered the world, but for his own selfish desires, he had given up his identity as Tiandi, ignored the safety of the six realms, and sacrificed his great virtues for small love. This was his original sin.

As the son of the Demon King, Xie Zuo only needed to survive the tribulation to attain enlightenment. But as Tiandi, what he did was enough to attract divine punishment.

He was an existence that should not have existed in this world. If Huo Yao hadn’t been there, he would have been immortalized and punished by the heaven. Huo Yao had a lot of merit, and in order to eliminate his sins, he had been reduced to where he was now. He was really ashamed!

Huo Yao kissed him and comforted him in a low voice. “I don’t blame you. To be honest, you entered the world just to find me. I am the culprit. I deserve this.”

Xie Zuo was speechless for a long time, sitting in Huo Yao’s arms in a daze. “Speaking of which, that guy Yue Rong… when did you find out that Yue Rong was pretending to be me?”

Huo Yao admitted honestly, “Actually, I have always had doubts… After I sent you back, Yue Rong summoned the Six Realms for the first time as Tiandi, and I felt something was wrong. He changed the land of void to the realm of Taixu…”

Huo Yao didn’t know how to describe that feeling. He had no evidence and no clue. Although Tiandi in front of him still looked the same, he ruled the six realms and controlled the laws of six realms. But every time he saw him, Huo Yao felt a sense of disobedience and strangeness.
