Chapter 1313: 18.151 First Grey Star - I will wait for you.
There was great joy in the underground hamlet when Ye Jingya awoke. It had grown from a small, intended feast to a big one. Everyone was ecstatic that Ye Jieye's family was getting together for a reunion at the party.
When Mo Banyue and Xue Keiran learned that their son had wed the strong young man who had saved them, they became overjoyed with their new son-in-law, particularly after learning that they would soon be grandparents to two adorable cubs, one of whom is an exceptionally unusual little girl.
That night, everyone was so joyful that they drank all night. Ye Jieye provided the beverages. He clarified that he and his wife shared a soul relic that was linked to space storage. Thus, he has access to everything his wife put in the storage. Naturally, he kept the fact that it was a little world with live things within from them.
Many of them were inebriated after supper and had dozed off on the ground. Mo Banyue and Lu Wei are two of these men. All they have to do is go out to drink with an elderly man like Ye Jingya, who never gets intoxicated no matter how much he consumes. Ye Jieye, his grandson, who appears to have inherited this quality, is seated next to him.
So, among the innumerable inebriated males, only an elderly and a young man are still standing.
Cheers~ This is Ye Jieye and Ye Jingya still drinking their alcoholic beverage. Ye Jingli and the other men who didn't drink had to drag the drunk men back to their places.
Ye Jingli said, "Father, Ye'er, don't drink too much. You guys still need to rest."
"Don't worry. Go bring your husbands back to rest," Ye Jingya said as he laughed. "Ye'er, let's change locations and continue drinking."
"That I don't mind. Let's go," Ye Jieye said.
The grandfather and grandson entered a more private place after leaving the dining hall. They walk into a quiet living area with sliding doors that open to a garden. The elderly man went to use the restroom to relieve himself for a little. Ye Jieye bided his time until his grandfather came back. They were underground right now, so they could not see the sky from where they were.
Ye Jieye had relished his time spent with his grandfather and folks. However, as stated by the God of Void, his soul is already far too feeble. The only way he can stay somewhat there is to reunite with Ye Xiajie's soul.
"Thank you. Summoning you is the best choice. That person is right. You can indeed fulfill my wish."
Ye Jieye was referring to Chaos, who interfered with Ye Xiajie's soul's transit to this realm and dragged it to this vessel. An empty vessel can normally only be taken over by outsiders. One who has just passed away or one who has an agreement with the God System. the agreement to part with their boat in exchange for life's unmet desires.
[Though I still don't understand why Chaos did so, it's only right to pay in exchange for giving me this vessel. Moreover, you used to be part of me. This is simply you returning to the origin.]
"I actually have a part of my memory that even I couldn't understand but maybe you would understand it. I will pass it on to you now. I'm sleepy so I will leave our family in your care. I am satisfied."
Ye Xiajie's spirit unites with Ye Jieye's weaker soul. It might be claimed that Ye Xiajie is now Ye Jieye and that the two of them are now one person as Ye Jieye has become a part of Ye Xiajie's soul. The surplus emotions had vanished from Ye Jieye's eyes as the God of Void gained control, and his manner became cold and uncaring, even toward his family.
The God of Void had taken over this body the first time the couple met Ye Jieye, so they would not have given it any thought. They think that their kids have grown up to be so wise and unintelligible.
However, Ye Jingya had a different opinion; as soon as he walked into the room, he observed that his grandson's surroundings had changed. Unlike earlier, Ye Jieye has a seductive atmosphere these days, and those crimson eyes have a detached aspect. gazing bored and uninterestedly at the world. Just by glancing at his disposition, at least, he no longer felt mortal.
Ye Jieye spoke, "You're back, Grandpa."
Ye Jingya did not even respond as he simply glanced at his grandchild. The God of Void tried to ignore the stares, but he was unable to do so because of Ye Jieye's affections for his family.
"What's wrong?" Ye Jieye asked, trying to smile. Unfortunately, he looked uncomfortable with this expression, as he was usually emotionless unless interacting with his wife.
Ye Jingya suddenly asked, "Are you the one who healed me and took that evil entity inside of me? Are you really my grandson, Ye Jieye?"
The God of Void was a bit surprised but remained calm on the surface. He didn't expect to be seen through by a mortal he just met today.
"How can you be sure that it wasn't him who saved you?" Ye Jieye asked.
Ye Jingya sat on the same table as he stared directly at the young man who wore his grandson's face.
"Demeanor, temperament, gestures, aura as well as presence. Your eyes are also different. Indifferent and detached. Only those who stood at the top would look lonely. My grandson from before is down to earth; his aura is extraordinary but not to the point of being godly." Ye Jingya responded.
Ye Jingya found the answer boring and enjoyed his wine instead. Even so, he still answered the old man's confusion. "It is indeed me who saved you, but that is your grandson's wish, which ended up becoming my wish. He is the reality of this world, and I am his origin. He and I are one and the same. It's just that my existence is more powerful than he is.
After we merged, I became the dominant one."
"Old man, it's impossible for a human soul to be detached from his body for so long. Only your own vessel can nourish an injured soul. Without its vessel to protect it, the soul will weaken and fade. His soul had been detached for almost a decade. It isn't surprising for his soul to fade. It's just that his obsession towards his wife is too powerful.
That's our obsession that existed for a very, very long time. That supported him until he was summoned to be the original soul. He and I are one. His family is my family, and as he wishes, you will be protected by me until my life in this world ends," Ye Jieye said.
The elderly man was surprised to hear this kind of explanation. Ye Jieye's comments made sense only after it was clear what they meant. An incarnation is his grandson. Perhaps a god, a higher entity, or something more powerful.
Ye Jingya said, "So, it's my fault his soul ended up like that? Maybe I shouldn't have sent him out after all." Tears fell down from his old eyes, which he tried to hold back.
Ye Jieye said, "He was happy. He met a beautiful wife and had children with him. He had witnessed his family clans reunite and finally meet his parents and grandfather in this world. Until the end, he chose to accompany you. All his wishes are fulfilled before he can no longer hold on. Merging with me will allow him to keep existing.
He has become a part of me and I am him. There is no difference between us two."
"Old man, don't cry. We had never blamed you. Instead, you had allowed us to meet the one person we needed to meet to complete our life. That was our happiness," Ye Jieye said.
"Oh~ sobs. That's... good then," Ye Jingya said.
The God of Void doesn't know how to comfort people. He can only lightly pat the old man's back like his wife would to calm him down. In the end, the old man isn't fully healed and just recently woke up. He fell asleep after accumulating stress from crying. Just as he placed the old man in the room, System Yue had finally returned.
[Milord, Yue found where the door is. It's just that the place is covered with countless monsters. They had gathered, wanting to all come out. The entrance was just recently opened, but it's too small. Some monsters had already come out.]
Ye Jieye arched an eyebrow in response to the quantity of monsters shown in the system window that displayed a live feed of events at the dimension's entrance; there was no cause for concern in those red orbs.
The God of Void asked, "Something else."
[The monsters are looking for you. Most of the monsters in this dimension had been summoned and even woke up the ruler of this place. Also... I've contacted System Yang. He said...]
"What did he say?" Ye Jieye asked.
[He said that Lord Hei is so pissed. So be careful.] System Yue shuddered, even imagining what an enraged Lord Hei could do. He glanced over his lord's shoulder and saw that the corner of his mouth was quivering. His own lord is obviously afraid of his wife's wrath.
Ye Jieye said, "We need to get out of here as soon as possible. If I wronged Jing'er more, he would definitely beat me up. I don't want to sleep outside the bedroom. Watch the changes in this world."
[Before that, there would definitely be domestic violence.] System Yue mumbled. When he saw his master glaring at him, he immediately saluted and flew away. [Yes, Milord. I'm leaving now!]

The God of Void's awakening had caused significant changes to the circumstances within the dungeon. The land outside the dungeon is home to numerous little monsters that emerge from beyond the door, like cockroaches. In order to eliminate the creatures, the Heavenly Guardians went first. The creatures that emerge from the portal are not very strong, and their curses are also not very strong.
They just get tired more faster when they fight against this monsters. Simply put, there are just too many of them to eliminate. These creatures' physical bodies were stronger than those of humans. When they are fatigued, they become even weaker.
Thus, King Wang Xingmo divided up the fighters into groups. Each group would engage in combat for a set amount of time before being replaced by a new group when the original group ran out of ammunition. The Heavenly Guardians were in charge of these teams. It was true that this little creature had reflected the strength of its adversaries, as Hei Anjing informed his grandfather, Mo Xinyue.
To destroy the beast, one had to surpass his own self.
The two universes' respective time flows are not the same. Time inside the dimension moves more slowly than it does outside. The door leading to the Ruins of Time had opened a week ago. For seven full days, humans had been putting up great effort to repel these beasts.

After his duty, Heavenly Guardian Mu Zang had just gone back to the rear to take a nap. Mo Xinyue and the team that was assigned to him took his place. The former can only go back to sleep in his tent. Mu Zang fell asleep on the bed right away. Once the others have finished their shift, he will have to fight once more.
He folded his arms over his bleary eyes. He had been fighting till daybreak. The only way they can sleep soundly now that the sky is bright is to cover their eyes. Just when Mu Zang was ready to nod off, he heard a voice in his head. After ten years, he had not heard this voice before.
{Z-Zang'er... Zang'er... Can you... hear my voice?}
Mu Zang heard that voice right away and sat up. All these years, he had been yearning. When he sat up, the voice instantly stopped, leading him to believe at first that he was dreaming.
"Hello... Yaya? Yaya!?" Mu Zang was going to feel let down and believed he was dreaming about the same person again. That man's soft voice resounds in his head for the second time, right as he was ready to wallow in despair. It is more steady this time.
{Zang'er, it's me, Jingya. Ye'er had found us already. I know that time outside and here flows differently. We will try to come out as soon as possible. Wait for me. I will see you soon, wife.}
Mu Zang's tears fell like a waterfall this time. After all these years, the man he had been dying to see had finally reached out to him. He never believed he was gone. Mu Zang wanted to check and went to the side table to get a table knife because he thought maybe this was a dream. His hand ached, bringing him back to earth. It was not a dream.
Ye Jingya continued to live.
"Um. Sobs~ wuwuwu. I will see you soon too," Mu Zang said between his cries. He was laughing in joy, yet his eyes were covered in tears. This is the first time he has shown such intense emotion since losing his husband and child.
"Wait for you. I will wait for you no matter how long... as long as you come back to me."
