A few hours later the three watched as their Lord God finished a small mountain of wine bottles on his own. Since he was drinking his sorrow and his state of depression drank until he was completely wasted. His face had long turned crimson from intoxication but this person had no desire to use his qi to remove such an effect. He truly wanted to be drunk and wasted.
The three who were drinking would be staring at him in silence. They've never uttered a sound at all since their lord had started drinking like there is no tomorrow.
Xue Yan moved carefully and slowly to go near his lover and whispered, "What is wrong with him? He drinks the wine like how an elephant drinks water."
"Shss... J-Just leaves him alone. He had been depressed lately as Lord Hei was ignoring him since we entered this world. Though he was intimate with Xue Hua, it is still different if Lord Hei's real soul avoids him." whispered Hu Yue, the Fox God.
[A/n: Since Xue Hua had entered this world not by occupying Xue Hua vessel but being born as Xue Hua in this world. It can be considered that Xue Hua is a soul fragment of Hei Anjing who was slumbering as he rested inside this new vessel.]
System Yue was dazed on his own. He would compare the Lord God in front of him and his version when he was still the God of Void. They look the same but the latter had stronger control over the darkness while the Lord God had more control over the Time element instead. They are both the same at the same time not.
[One is from the current while the other is from the past. Only once they've merged will the future of him appear. A complete Lord God of the Void.]
His murmuring is like the whimpering of a drunk person, Hu Yue, and Xue Yan thought that Zhi Yue had drunk himself. They knew this is because of that man who looks like their Lord God. System Yue says that the man called Ye Gui is the Lord God himself but this person had no emotions instead he had all the memories that the Lord God in front of them doesn't have.
Hu Yue had wanted to meet that person and see for himself why System Yue is able to say that the Lord God and that man are the same people. But every time he came over to the Lou Clan, he couldn't enter the territory at all. It was obviously blocked by a strong barrier that even he as the warden couldn't break.
In this mid-tier world, there are supposed to be only two people whom he could never defeat. One is the Lord God and the other is Lord Hei who was resting inside Xue Hua. But who is this man called Ye Gui to possess this much capability to stop him? Even though he hadn't met the person himself yet, Hu Yue was already half-convinced that this person is indeed their Lord God.
While they were thinking of things of their own they suddenly heard a thud and saw that their Lord God had completely gotten wasted.
THUD!
Xie Mo holding a wine bottle started talking on his own. Due to the effects of alcohol and after drinking numerous bottles of wine that could even make a small hill left him in such a state.
The Ghost King mumbled, "My wife... is so angry that he doesn't wish to see me~ Now I don't know... How should I apologize? Hic! Even when he wakes up he... never looks at me once. Hic. I don't know what to do... Hic!"
All three of his drinking companions had looked at one another but did not know how to reply to their drunk boss. In the end, they left the only one who didn't have any connection with their boss but had one with his wife.
Xue Yan responded, "If it's like that why don't you just apologize? Even if Xue Hua isn't completely Lord Hei, that is still his vessel. You should have apologized right from the beginning. Lord Hei can wake up multiple times, doesn't that mean he could also hear you even though only Xue Hua is awake?"
"This sounds reasonable..." murmured Hu Yue the Fox God.
Zhi Yue commented, "Thought it would confuse Xue Hua a bit in case the host ignores the lord at the very least you should be able to explain it with Xue Hua right? That inside of him is another personality of his and this person is called Hei Anjing."
"That... should I do so?" mumbled the ghost king as he stood up wobbling as he climbed on the stairs.
Hu Yue and Zhi Yue were about to help him up on his way to the stairs only to freeze when they saw those pair of argent eyes looking at them from the highest point of the stairs. Those icy gazes made them stand where they were, looking as if asking why his other half is in such an intoxicated state. Drunk enough that he didn't even notice that his wife's childish demeanor from before had changed to something cold.
Hei Anjing's eyes at this moment were asking them, 'What happened to this fool to drink this much and get wasted?' Hu Yue and Zhi Yue had shaken their heads without saying a word. If there is someone they are afraid of between their Lord God and Lord Hei. Their collective answer would be Lord Hei. This person is only kind to their Lord God and not always with them. Plus he is a lot scarier than the former when angry. As expected Hei Anjing frowns a bit with the reactions of the two people. He moved his gaze to Xue Yan who was still smiling like a professional businessman. He saw his gesture pointing at him and then gave him a meaningful smile.
Once Hei Anjing saw that he immediately understood what Xue Yan was telling him. His mood instantly turned sour and his eyes narrowed as if he was about to get angry. Then he looks at the drunken man having a hard time climbing up the stairs due to dizziness. He was taking one step at a time every 3 minutes like his legs are made of lead and it was hard for him to lift it up through the stairs.
Staring at this stupid person whose IQ becomes zero when it comes to him made him remember what this fool did in the last world. He gets even moodier just thinking about it.
Hei Anjing teleported to where his husband was and grabbed his collar and once again teleported away to their bedroom. The three finally sighed in relief seeing that the couple whom they both could not offend finally took their leave and continued their quarrels in privacy. Xue Yan on the other hand was silent the moment Hei Anjing left with his husband. He could still remember how pale the face of Xue Hua had become when Hei Anjing took over the body. Though Xue Hua originally had fair skin when he saw Hei Anjing just now, he looks so pale as if bloodless.
With a frown on his face, Xue Yan asked the other two if they noticed something about Lord Hei.
Xue Yan asked, "Don't you think there is something's wrong with Lord Hei's soul? Is it just I or his soul that is starting to weaken at some point?"
"I don't understand what you mean?" asked Hu Yue as he truly cannot understand what his lover is asking.
Only Zhi Yue somewhat understood what he meant. Compared to when he first met Lord Hei, his soul right now is so weak that it has already started to affect the vessel he used. If a weaker soul enters the vessel it would either be fatigued or the vessels would suffer some illness. Though Xue Hua's vessel just now was completely healthy it is another thing once Lord Hei takes over. His paleness just now was enough to show his weakened state.
Xue Yan gazed at Zhi Yue with a scrutinizing gaze and said, "You've also noticed, didn't you, Zhi Yue? Do you know why he ended up like that? In the first place, who was strong enough to block the memories of Lord Hei. Unless it was his parents it can only be the Ruler Gods who can do so."
"I heard it was the host uncle, did it? The Ruler God of life and Death, Sire Mo Baojun," said Zhi Yue. "But I don't really know what is happening, if there is someone who knows then make that person do..."
Hu Yue asked, "Ha? Who is it?"
"The other dominant soul of the Lord God who is in this same world. A Yaoguai who is now an Evil God. His name in this world is Ye Gui. His real name is... Xia Jieye. A former Ruler God before Sire Mo." replied Zhi Yue.
Xue Yan, "A former Ruler God? There are Ruler Gods before Lord Shen and Lord Mo?"
"Xia Jieye?" mumbled Hu Yue.
Zhi Yue answered Xue Yan's question, "Yes. Lord Xia is the original God of Life and Death. When he died a few millennia ago, he passed his throne to Sire Mo Baojun, and at that time, he died saving the one-year-old Hei Anjing from the Ye Gui race and the Hei Clan."
"Xia Jieye?" Hu Yue continues to mumble in a daze as if remembering something connected to this name.
But Zhi Yue and Xue Yan were having a serious conversation and they didn't notice that something was wrong with Hu Yue.
"He died for a long time. How did he suddenly become the dominant soul of your Lord God?" asked Xue Yan.
Zhi Yue answered, "Lord Xia and the current Lord God are one person. In the first place, before the Lord God was reborn as Ye Xiajie, he was originally a Ruler God created by the Origin like Sire Shen Siwang. He is the alter ego of the Light God and one of the Unique existence in all these realms."
"A God born from the Origin? If it can't be... I thought only the Mo Clan and Lord Shen were born from there..." mumbled Xue Yan when he finally noticed Hu Yue beside him holding his head as if something was squeezing his head and his pain was evident on his face.
"Urgh! Who is Xia Jieye that is making my head hurt like this? Argh~" said Hu Yue.
A worried expression sprouted on Xue Yan's face as he supported the Fox God who was suffering from something unknown. But Zhi Yue knew the reason why Hu Yue acts this way if he remembered correctly this warden is that Great Elder from the Ye Gui race in his past life. This is the man who admires the God of Void for creating them yet he was betrayed by his own race who had rebelled against their own creator.
Zhi Yue helped Xue Yan bring Hu Yue back to the living room.
Xue Yan in panic asked, "Yue, what is happening to him?!"
"It is nothing much. His past life memories are just returning to him. Here is a teleport talisman, you should let him rest in the room. He would be okay but would suffer a fever due to it. It seems the former name of the Lord God had triggered his past life memories. He would be okay after a night's sleep. I'll take my leave for now," said Zhi Yue before disappearing in thin air. He had also used a teleport talisman to leave the place.
"Sometimes not knowing something is annoying..." mumbled Xue Yan.
Xue Yan is confused with everything happening around him and could only sigh and support Hu Yue to his shoulders.. After using the teleport talisman he decides to bring the man over to his room and look after him for a night.
