On the bumpy road, Shi Moye and Yun Suisen were on their way to X District together with few ability users under Shi Moye's command. Riding on a customized hummer, this little group of six had headed to their first target which is an abandoned factory of granary. The Xi District is famous for being a town where most farmers live. There are countless granary buildings in this town.
According to his memory from his past life, Shi Moye recalled that there is a hidden warehouse which used to be owned by a wealthy man who lives from the capital. Ever since the X District was abandoned after the apocalypse, X District has become that man's territory. Su Liye, a former mercenary that Shi Moye used to work with. He had a police young brother and a wife, who both had died during the apocalypse.
Based on his memories, Su Liye's young brother and his brother's partner were used as bait by some police comrades to escape. They both died after betrayal. His wife's ending is even worse. Before Su Liye left for a mission, he knew that his wife had just given birth but they had no money. So he left his wife and son to his brother and his partner's care while he was out for a mission to gather money but who expected that when he got back to the country the apocalypse would suddenly arrive.
Su Liye tried his best to check on his family as soon as possible but when he got home his house was in ruins. The house had been cleaned up and only a letter his wife had left, pasted on the refrigerator was the only thing that let him know who was with his family. Police Captain Liu Ling, that was the name of the man who had brought away his family.
He and his team had checked through almost all of the bases that had appeared during the apocalypse but found no man who had the name Liu Ling. His last target is Z District, the base named Hope. Su Liye and his team had chosen to rest at the X District upon discovering countless grains, he wanted to use it as a bargain to get the higher ups of Hope Base to look for his family or that man called Liu Ling. In the previous timeline, the greedy elite clans had tricked him for his grains. In the end he died without knowing what happened to his family.
Shi Moye had remembered a scene from his previous life. Before leaving the base, he had already checked the names of Su Liye's family members. Sadly there are no survivors with the name of Su Wan, Lu Meng or Ri Yan. Su Wan is Su Liye's younger brother. Lu Meng is Su Wan's partner while Ri Yan is the name of Su Liye's wife. But that police captain with the name of Liu Ling was found. This man had joined a team which is notorious for their bad attitude of using ordinary people as bait. In short this man is a trash kind of man.
It's already mid winter season. The snow is slowly getting thinner which allows cars to move on the road. Though there are still some ice zombies statues scattering on the road. Seeing the scenery outside the window of the car, Shi Moye couldn't help but frown.
Shi Moye whispered, "Why is the snow melting faster than I remember in my memories? Isn't the snow supposed to only start melting at the month of February?"
Yun Suisen who overheard his lover's murmuring reacted, "Ge, is there something wrong with the snow?" he asked.
"Nothing. Please wake me up when we arrived in X District." said Shi Moye.
"I will. Please rest well, ge." said Yun Suisen as he covered Shi Moye with a blanket from his storage place. He also provided their teammates with blanks and knickknacks.

Ximen Mountain.
Mansion at the peak.
Xueya was spending his time seated at the swing while reading his book. Since his son is not around there is no need for him to go out of his territory to place around outside. He hated fighting those disgusting things as they smell and look unpleasant to the eyes. Adding the fact that the surrounding is covered in dust and dirty, those moving rotten flesh monsters were targeting living humans. For someone like him who hates unclean things, Xueya would choose to stay in his house instead of going out.
Winter had no effect on him. He hates chilly temperatures but that doesn't mean it affects him much. It's just that the cold temperature made his own body temperature even lower which made Xueya uncomfortable. This is the reason why he hates the cold.
Drip!
Passing his time as he read his book, a sudden water droplet from the tree felt on the open page of the book. Normally during winter the water vapor won't turn to water easily unless spring is coming where ice would start to melt. But at this moment Xueya noticed the sudden increase in heat around his surroundings.
"Snow starts to melt during the mid winter season?" murmured Xueya as he closed his book nonchalantly and looked at the ice barrier which he erected to cover the whole town.
He used his Ice element to feel the changes in the ice barrier he made. Obviously the ice barrier is slowly thinning for unknown reasons. Since System Yue is not around he could only ask the automated system left to him by Yue.
Xueya spoke in his mind and contacted the automated system connected to him, "Automated System xa0013 check if there are changes in this world database."
[The host request is now in progress. Automated System xa0013 currently checking this star's database. Status is now complete. Answering to the host request. This world data had been changed by the heavenly wills. Reason: The host Godly existence is overwhelming the Heavenly son's halo. The world plot had been changed badly. The heavenly wills wanted to lessen the host Godly existence by weakening the host ability to control ice attribute.]
Once Ximen Xueya heard this explanation an amused smile appeared on his cerise lips. It made him even more exquisite and seductive. He is clearly entertained that this world's heavenly wills is trying to go against him.
"Heh~ this is the first world that openly tried to restrict my abilities. A mere C Class world? Really dares~" murmured Xueya as he released his presence to the maximum which event caused earthquakes to the whole world.
The tremors were felt all over the lands of the country and one who felt the most quake are the people who live in the Ximen Mountain.
[Warning! Warning! The heavenly wills of this star felt threatened by the host current qi. Please hold back your anger. The land of this star is now on the verge of breaking! People in this star were now in panic due to chaos.]
Once Xueya heard that a panic among the residents of this world was affected by his aura, he instantly held back and remembered that his son and husband are still with him in this world. Due to his original memories returning his temper had been shorter and temperamental. This is because his real personality is slowly emerging. The original him had no care for others except for a chosen few. He could casually destroy a star whenever he lost his temper.
But he could no longer casually destroy a world. Especially when in this world his own son and husband are together with him. Xueya had held back his temper and personally restricted his qi. He lowered it enough to stop causing destruction to this world.
As if complementing his aura, the tremors on the land and sea had calmed down. Xueya took a deep breath and slowly calmed down his surging excitement and urge to destroy things. This is his original nature. The love for destruction and obliteration. He was only holding back because his family is with him in this world.
[Prompt! The world data had now returned to normal. Stabilization in progress. Warning the host to not destroy the world.]
"Shut up. Open world viewer surveillance. Switch system mode from automated to manual." commanded Xueya coldly as his smile faded.
[World Viewer Surveillance is now open. System mode is now switching from Automated to Manual. Switching mode in progress... 10%... 30%...60%...100%. System mode is now manual. Subsystem down.]
After the mode of the subsystem was changed to manual. There would be no automated AI voice response would be heard when Xueya is using the subsystem. He only needs to activate the system interface. Allowing holographic system windows only Xueya and other world hoppers like him could see. Right now countless windows of each world's character are shown before him. A liver surveillance on Shi Moye, Yun Suisen, Yun Ren and Cao Junye. He also controlled the system windows to create a live surveillance on his son, Ximen Chino, Wang Lei, Lou Lan and Uncle Wu.
Xueya watched all the system windows which he minimized that allowed him to see everyone's current situation. He is like a God overlooking their current situations.
"This is not bad. I could watch my son and husband all the time with this. Let's input some new commands in this subsystem to make it more useful." murmured Xueya while controlling the manual mode subsystem in his mind.

Seaside Villa in N District.
The sudden earth from before had caused small tsunamis which let sea water enter the nearby villas. But thanks to the little bun Chino who securely protected the villa he was in, none of the sea water had entered the villa.
Ximen Chino is currently being hugged by his father, Cao Junye, who was just awakened by the tremors just now. The latter had instinctively embraced the baby in his arms even before the earthquakes could be felt.
Chino is using his small hand to pat his father's chest.
"Father~ Chi-chan is alright~ Chi-chan protected the house~"
Once again hearing the cuddly voice of Ximen Chino made Cao Junye smile. He lifted up the baby under his arms to his lap and smiled at him. He wanted to check whether he was dreaming or not. Seeing his son in front of him made Cao Junye extremely happy.
Cao Junye asked, "Our baby when did you come over?"
"Chi-chan doesn't know. When Chi-chan woke up just now. Saw father sleeping beside Chi-chan and is delighted!"
"Ah! Chi-chan remembers~ I asked daddy I want to play with father~ Last night daddy said he would let Chi-chan play with father. Now father is in front of Chi-chan... I am very happy~"
Ximen Chino suddenly jumped on his father and hugged his neck then gave him countless kisses on his father's face. In spite of his face covered in his son's saliva the smile on Cao Junye's lips only widens. On the other hand the smile on Cao Junye's face widens as he looks at his son. Of course he tries to look around wanting to see the figure of Xueya he misses the most. Unfortunately there is not even a hint of shadow of his wife's figure.
Cao Junye asked, "It seems that your daddy didn't stay over. Did your daddy tell Chi-chan to say something to father?"
"Hm~ there is nothing, father." honestly replied by the boy.
The expected answer made Cao Junye sighed. Now he understands that his wife is still angry at him. Cao Junye carried Chino on his arms and headed to the bathroom to brush their teeth and face their faces. The old butler had already placed his young master's necessities in the master's bedroom. It was also Uncle Wu who placed the sleeping young child beside his father.
It didn't take awhile for the father and son to meet the rest during breakfast. At the dining table, Wang Lei who is checking on his gun and Lou Lan who is eating toasted bread for breakfast were startled when they saw the little bun in their general's arms.
The sound of chair sliding was heard in the area.
"Chino!!?" Wang Lei and Lou Lan exclaimed.
The loud voice of his subordinate and Lou Lan were ignored by the General. Only Chino waves his little hand towards his uncles.
"Good Morning~ Uncle Lou, Uncle Wang. Grandpa Wu~ Chi-chan and father is awake now~"
The two men who were greeted first looked at the adorable baby dumbfounded. Only the Old Butler who was holding a tray of breakfast smiled at his young master in response.
"Young Master Chino, a pleasant morning to you as well. Would you like sweet rice cake soup for breakfast?" asked the old butler.
Chino responded, "Is it what daddy cooked yesterday?"
"Yes! He left some for everyone to enjoy." replied the old butler.
"Father you should taste it with Chi-chan. Daddy's cook is amazing~" said Chino with a huge smile on his face.
Cao Junye dotingly smiled back at his son and said, "Let's eat it together."
"Un!"
Uncle Wu had prepared a huge bowl for the father and son to enjoy. He didn't forget to serve some to Wang Lei, Lou Lan and for himself. After all other dishes were served on the table, Uncle Wu sat together with them and ate breakfast. Seeing that the general is busy feeding Chino, Wang Lei and Lou Lan choose to ask questions after breakfast instead.
Lou Lan who took a spoon of the sweet soup instantly recognized the taste. This is indeed his friend's cooking. Though Ximen Xueya rarely cooks before, he never forgets to cook for his baby every time he is requested to do so.
Lou Lan murmured, "This is indeed Xueya's cooking. But how..."
"Lan'er, talk later. Finish eating first." said Wang Lei.
Knowing he wouldn't receive an answer at this moment, Lou Lan chose to stay silent. Everyone focused on eating until suddenly they heard a commotion taking place outside the villa. The sound of soldiers yelling could even be heard from inside the house.
Ahh~ what the hell is this thing!?
Too huge! Is this a monster!?
Look closely! It seems to be a dog!
Are you crazy? Is there a dog this big!?
Kill it already!
Impossible! It's skin could even block bullets. Our abilities are being dodged so easily as well.
Inform the Lieutenant! Tell the General!
The chaos outside the villa had been overheard by those in the villa. Wang Lei and the rest all went out to check the cause of the commotion. As soon as they got out of the door they saw a huge dog which had the size of an adult lion growling at the soldiers. It has a white and black long fur which made it look like a beast.
Bewildered Wang Lei and Lou Lan, "This is...!!?"
"It's a Tibetan Mastiff." commend the General.
On the other hand the child on his arms yelled, "STOP! Don't bully my Oreo!!~~" Chino's eyes were now full of tears as he saw his dog being bullied by a group of uncles.
"Oreo!?" Wang Lei, Lou Lan, Cao Junye and the rest said at the same time.
Only Uncle Wu reacted differently.
Cough* "This is the young master dog. A Tibetan Mastiff puppy named Oreo." said the old butler.
The thoughts of every adults in the area: 'Fuck! You call something this big with a cute name like Oreo!?'
Then they all watch the adorable boy went down from their general's arms and run towards the big dog named Oreo. The huge dog bark happily when it saw his master.
Bark!
"Oreo~ Daddy brought you over as well~ haha~" said Chino as he hugs the huge dog but since his arms were too short he could only wrap his arms on the dog's face. Looking at the joyous reaction of the big dog being hug by their young master made then realized that the Tibetan Mastiff is indeed Ximen Chino's pet and its name is really Oreo.
'Damn! Its name is really Oreo. I thought only Shih Tzu and other small dogs can be called with such a cuddy name.' The adults thoughts at this moment.
