Who Stole My Eggs?

Xie Zuo thought of Yue Rong’s seduction of Huo Yao at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and felt jealous again in his heart. “Then you still obey him?”

Huo Yao finally answered a question correctly. “That was also for you. At that time, I had no memory of the past and thought that your dramatic change in temperament was due to your return to your original form. Later…”

“What happened next?” Xie Zuo asked.

Huo Yao couldn’t help but feel guilty. “After you were born, you and Heavenly Father—I mean, you became more and more like yourself… just…” Huo Yao simply said it all in one breath. “I made sure of it when I was in the crack of the abyss. You are the Heavenly Father!”

“What, so early?”

“It’s not too early. I should have listened to my inner feeling. Do you still remember the broken eggshell in the crack of the abyss? What did you see on the eggshell?”

“Well… I only saw myself.” Of course, Xie Zuo remembered the huge broken eggshell, and now he also knew that it was the bits of shell left when he was born. No wonder Wu Xiao could reborn after eating it. It contained the source of life, and Wu Xiao was also lucky.

“I saw you.” Huo Yao took a deep breath. “Your figure is reflected on the eggshell, and what appears is the appearance of Heavenly Father. I was afraid of being discovered by the fake Tiandi, so I broke the eggshell.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Xie Zuo was shocked.

“Yue Rong has been staring at you. Although he is a fake Tiandi, he has been pretending to enjoy the worship of the six realms for so long, and it has already become real matter to him. I didn’t know the past between you and him and thought you were mortal enemies. If Yue Rong finds out you are the real one, your situation will be more dangerous. It is better to let him mistakenly think that you are the child of Heavenly Father and Xie Xiao.”

“…Yue Rong…” Xie Zuo sighed. “Come with me to meet him.”

“Okay.”

Xie Zuo took Huo Yao to the realm of Taixu and found Yue Rong in the River of Void.

Yue Rong had been beaten to a pulp by Huo Yao. He still retained his consciousness, but his power was gone, and he couldn’t do anything.

Seeing Xie Zuo, Yue Rong laughed at himself. “Are you here to pity me, Heavenly Father?”

Xie Zuo didn’t speak.

Yue Rong glanced at Huo Yao resentfully. “I originally wanted to send down the heavenly punishment to completely annihilate you, the evil descendant of our heavenly father, but Huo Yao actually saw through my thoughts earlier and took action against me in advance! Okay, as expected. The Deity of Thunder, who has executed countless people, severely injured me but did not kill me. Instead, he volunteered to suffer for you… It’s ridiculous that I didn’t understand until today that you lied to all of us and you never came back!”

Xie Zuo asked him, “Yue Rong, why do you hate me so much?”

“Why?” Yue Rong laughed loudly. “To this day, you are still asking why? Because I love you! And you have never looked at me!”

Yue Rong stared at him, his eyes bulging. “I thought you were too tired after you came back. I thought you were sleeping all the time. When you were away, I was the one who took care of all! I became like you and took on your responsibility, because I carry it, the six realms can run smoothly, and everything is so orderly!”

Xie Zuo sneered. “Is this how you usually numb yourself?”

“What?”

Xie Zuo said, “Don’t you always enjoy being Tiandi? Emperor Yun Jue of the Southern Kingdom was the first person to realize that you were a fake Tiandi, right? That’s why he died in a small tribulation. You were afraid of Yun Jue’s close messengers, so you took great pains to stage a good show to select the emperor, seducing the dark cloud messenger to fall, and inciting the southern deity messengers to kill each other.”

“Your good plan was to let the Dark Cloud Messenger take action, causing other divine messengers to fall in this drama, and then you would kill the Dark Cloud Messenger as a saviour. In this way, no one could know your true identity.”

But no one had expected that Feng Yi would come out to disrupt the situation halfway. In order to bring Xie Zuo and Huo Yao together, Feng Yi had thrown Xie Zuo into the Southern Kingdom. Through a strange combination of circumstances, Xie Zuo had become the winner and had also saved the other divine messengers.

“Feng Yi…” Xie Zuo asked Yue Rong, “Was it Feng Yi who identified me in Taixu Temple that day?”

Yue Rong was filled with malice. “Yes, that’s him.”

“Identify you? Identify what?” Huo Yao asked. “Before the decisive battle with Yue Rong, I had entrusted my deity status to him and told him to hide well. What did he do?”

Yue Rong chuckled mockingly. “Feng Yi is loyal to me. He doesn’t want to believe what you say, so he came to question me personally…”

“You controlled him, didn’t you?” Xie Zuo gritted his teeth.

Yue Rong sneered.

No wonder! What Xie Zuo couldn’t figure out the most was Feng Yi’s betrayal! It turned out it had all been Yue Rong’s fault!

Yue Rong continued to add fuel to the fire. “It’s a pity. Feng Yi has always wanted to be the best in his life. Something happened, and none of those little phoenixes helped him. When they forced him to death, I was there, and I watched the scene. Good show!”

Xie Zuo took a deep breath and asked, “Did you also kill Mu Rong and the others?”

“That’s right.” Yue Rong saw that he couldn’t hide it anymore and simply admitted everything. “I was the one who instigated those two divine messengers to round up tens of thousands of people. Mu Rong was so smart, he guessed all this. Smart people don’t live long. Yes, he and all the messengers who were in Wu Mountain and Meng Mountain that day won’t survive!”

Yue Rong smiled and said, “What a good plan, just to put the blame on Huo Yao. The majestic Deity of Thunder killed his colleagues for his own selfish desires. Tsk!”

“You black-hearted bastard!” Xie Zuo scolded and was about to take action to deal with him completely, but Huo Yao stopped him. “No!”

Yue Rong became even more proud. “You can’t kill me, and Huo Yao won’t let you kill me.”

Xie Zuo said angrily, “Why?”

Huo Yao said, “He can no longer do evil. Let’s keep him.”

Yue Rong taunted, “He dare not say it. Let me tell you why. The six realms cannot be without owners. Once I die, this realm of Taixu will automatically find a new owner. Guess, will you, the escaped spirit, can still hide?”

Xie Zuo looked at Huo Yao and suddenly understood. “Are you worried that I will be swallowed up by this place, so you left the afterimage of the body to guard him?”

“Yes.” Huo Yao said. “Let’s go. I will seal this place. His self-awareness will always exist, but he will never be able to do evil again.”

Xie Zuo was very unwilling. Yue Rong had done so many bad things and killed so many innocent people. Why could he still stay here and enjoy eternal life?

But Huo Yao didn’t allow him to do anything. He forced Xie Zuo out of the Taixu realm and sealed the entire realm with the power of thunder.

From then on, “Tiandi” stayed in the realm of Taixu forever, and his most loyal Deity of Thunder turned into thunder and lightning to protect him eternally.

The only ones left in the world were Xie Zuo and Huo Yao.
