The Truth of the Doomsday

"Huh… Great God Ming Che, you can consider yourself an ordinary person but I can't."

Even if a great god was the reincarnation of a remnant soul, he was a great god after all and might revert to the big league. No one would possibly make light of either a god or a beast, of course, except those who had an axe to grind. If someone who held grudges against Ming Che or had greedy thoughts knew about Ming Che's reincarnation, it was very likely for that person to become the new great god in place of Ming Che by killing him and taking his body before his strength reached the apex.

"Whatever."

Yun Che couldn't control what others thought and only minded his own business. He didn't intend to carry on that topic.

"The world outside must be in chaos, right?"

Xuan Po said in a positive tone. As Space-Guarding Beast, he could feel what happened outside without going out. At least, he was well aware of big events. Even a subtle emotional expression couldn't be seen on Xuan Po's smiling face. Yun Che said with a frown, "Since you knew that, why didn't you go out and stop it as Space-Guarding Beast?"

"I didn't mean to. I just couldn't."

Looking right into Yun Che's wondering eyes, Xuan Po continued, "Once I go out, somewhere on the top of the world will collapse. By then, the whole world will end up in total mess."

"That place, does it seal the master of this space?"

Yun Che asked tentatively, based on the speculation about the space master by them.

"Hmm. His name is Xuan Tian. He was named after me. He loved this space so much that he turned evil and lost himself."

Xuan Po then heaved a sigh before he continued, "Many years ago, the Big Chance was triggered and Parallel Space was opened when Xuan Tian was almost eaten alive. As Space-Guarding Beast, I assisted him with the development of the space. At that time, the space that nurtured him was on the edge of collapse because of the contradictions between the master and the beast. So Xuan Tian brought all the surviving humans into the space and taught them techniques and helped them cultivate.

The space had grown larger in size and denser in population with the birth of the new generations. Around several thousand years later, Xuan Tian's immortal partner stole the spiritual vein of the earth's core when Xuan Tian was unaware and directly ascended to the divine world of a higher plane. Xuan Tian who was in the Ascension Stage failed in the tribulation tried to trigger Thunder Tribulation of Ascension but that required stronger aura. Unfortunately, the spiritual vein of the earth's core was swallowed so that the aura in the space got thinner and thinner which resulted in the failure of triggering Thunder Tribulation of Ascension and other people's cultivation.

Several hundred years later, the new generations of human beings totally lost the ability to cultivate. As the master of the space, Xuan Tian felt unbearable pain in his heart. He actually developed a kind of evil thing that could deprive people of humanity, that is the zombie virus as you call it. At that time, he had no idea that the zombie virus was so horrible. He injected the zombie virus into the seasonal circle of the space for human beings to maintain their strong power and multiply their off-springs. Consequently, a large quantity of high-level cultivators turned into zombies. Everyone in the space hurt and killed each other, blood dying the space. Xuan Tian was also therefore demonized. He couldn't accept that he put the space to this place. After demonizing, he slaughtered all the people who became zombies and who didn't as well as all the beasts in the space. He went totally demonic."

With that said, Xuan Po stopped to take a breath. He took a cup of tea and drank it slowly. Yun Che didn't urge him as he knew it wasn't the end of the conversation.

"Qilin is the embodiment of justice and brightness, especially water qilin. Before human beings turned into zombies, I had worked on the antidote. But the outside world had changed before my seclusion ended. Eventually, I had to cut my qilin horn and kept the zombie virus under control inside Hyperborea. To protect the surviving human beings of less than 1 thousand, I set up obstacles thickly outside the space and forbade people from other space to come in by tearing off the space wall. Then, I spared no divine effort in oppressing Xuan Tian under the top of the world. I also sank into the bottom of the sea, waiting for that special someone to approach. Once I leave this place and use the divine power, the top of the world will also break down. As the master of the space, Xuan Tian would do a lot of things. By then, the world would really come to an end."

Xuan Po had already illustrated clearly why this world became like this. But as Yun Che listened, he felt something weird and pathetic for Xuan Tian. Also as a master of parallel space, Yun Che could understand how Xuan Tian felt but didn't agree with his deeds. Even if human beings couldn't cultivate or live a long life, they could live happily, couldn't they? Xuan Tian ended up being a demon even though the creator of the Big Chance was there to help. God really played fairly. With greediness, one would just go to collapse even given a good chance.

"Why not just shoot him dead? You should be capable of that, right?"

After a while, Yun Che asked. Since they were supervisors as Heiyu said, they must have special ability in this area. Moreover, Yun Che didn't feel that Xuan Po had a close bond with Xuan Tian, judging by the indifference on Xuan Po's face during the speech. At least, Xuan Po and Xuan Tian were nothing like Yun Che and Heiyu who were loath to hurt each other.

"I am capable of that, but I can't. Once he dies, the world would get back to chaos and every existent would disappear. Meanwhile, I'm not sure how many years it would take for us to meet another big creator or whether the creator would become the other Xuan Tian. When I figured out that someone would trigger Thunder Tribulation of Ninth Heaven in the future, I decided to take a risk. There wouldn't possibly be any aura for people to cultivate or bear the evildoer that was strong enough to trigger Thunder Tribulation of Ninth Heaven. The appearance of Thunder Tribulation of Ninth Heaven would definitely come with a person that opens the Big Chance. As long as I make use of it, I'd fulfil my task and go back to the divine world before Xuan Tian's ascension."

Xuan Po didn't hide anything from them and even confessed that he made use of them. Heiyu said unhappily, "What's the point of going back? Still wanna be the head of water qilin, huh?"

The head of beasts wouldn't be re-elected until the former one passed away. Even though Xuan Po had made a big mistake, he would still be the head of beasts after going back to the divine world.

"I miss Ling Yin."

Xuan Po said in a very soft tone. He didn't sound like he missed him but made people feel his strong miss of Ling Yin. Their relationship had gone through ups and downs for thousands of years. Even though there was no intense emotion turbulence, their relationship could still touch people. What Xuan Po didn't say was that he not only missed Ling Yin but also their son. Xuan Po worried whether anything had happened to his son since his son visited him once in a while but hadn't done that lately.

"Be serious."

Heiyu rolled his eyes angrily and almost lost his temper. He hated most that Xuan Po didn't act seriously all the time and everything he said sounded like jokes. Heiyu wondered why Ling Yin fell for him. In order to go back to the divine world to spend the rest of his life with Xuan Po, Ling Yin had even quit his position as the head of a clan and suffered from loneliness for thousands of years before rounding it off.

"I am very serious."

"How? I don't see that."

"Being serious can't be seen, little Ming Yu…"

"Don't call me that way!"

The two of them must be the most weird father and son. Their conversation had always sounded like intense combats. Heiyu was always ticked off while Xuan Po always provoked him. Neither the father or the son behaved the way they should. Next to them, Yun Che couldn't help but feel a little pain in his head. As long as the bicker between the father and the son began, they would move the subject far away.

"Heiyu, quiet."

Yun Che couldn't endure the bickering of Heiyu and grabbed him by his hand. With the corner of his mouth twitched unnaturally, Yun Che warned him that he would toss him out if he didn't stop speaking.

"Got it."

Heiyu was startled. He struggled unnaturally. Yun Che then put Heiyu back onto his shoulder before turning to Xuan Po. "I don't know how close you and Ling Yin were. But since you gave birth to Heiyu at all cost and were willing to suffer from thousands of years' loneliness as punishment in order to get back to your relationship, I'm sure you guys love each other deeply and care about your son Heiyu. Sometimes, you need to say it out to your lover and your son. If you don't, they will only think on the dark side. As time goes by, you and Heiyu are like this. I don't think you don't wish to hear Heiyu call you dad, do you?"

Xuan Po could have said everything but he didn't do it on purpose. Contrarily, he provoked Heiyu again and again. No one knew what was in Xuan Po's mind.

"Why do I call him… Alright, I'll just zip my mouth. You always bully me."

Heiyu retorted subconsciously but then shut his mouth up seeing the warning eyes of Yun Che. Seeing that, Xuan Po couldn't help but giggle with his mouth covered. "If my feelings serve me right, Great God Ming Che should have babies. A man gives birth to children for another man. If he isn't in deep love of that man, how would he do that? It was me that conceived Ming Yu. But after I gave birth to him, Beast King sent people to catch me before I had time to see my son. After that, Ling Yin and I were sent to different parallel spaces. At first, I felt pain and I went mad. But as thousands of years passed, almost all pains were gone. I'm very happy that Ming Yu is a grown-up man now. Even though he was contracted to a master, at least he grows up and even becomes the new Beast King. But I don't know how to get along with such a son. Great God Ming Che, you have sons too. If you think from my angles, I'm sure you'll understand."

In the end, Xuan Po's face still changed. He spared no effort in nurturing and giving birth to his son. How could he not love his son? If not, he wouldn't have told them everything. He could have hidden the truth, by whose means he could also reach his goal and ascend to the divine world.

"I won't allow myself to be like you."

After staring at him deeply for a while, Yun Che said firmly. He didn't know how deep the love between Xuan Po and Ling Yin was. Yun Che only knew that he could not endure the separation from his lover and the countless years in which he had to wait alone.

"Hmm. I believe that. No one can ever force Great God Ming Che to do anything."

Xuan Po regained his usual composure and nodded with a smile. In the meanwhile, the moment when Xuan Po visited Yun Che with Ming Yu came to Xuan Po's mind. Great God Ming Che was a superior great god but acted like an ordinary person. He didn't pull rank and treated Ming Yu as family.

"How come it sounds like mockery?"

Yun Che laughed. Heiyu immediately echoed, "Told you. That jerk makes everything he says sound like mockery. You can never feel his seriousness. I hate his false expression most. Ling Yin is exactly like him, as cold as an iced mountain of thousands of years. The first time I met him, I was this close to be frozen. When he saw me, the first thing he said was whether Xuan Po was back. D*amn it. Tell me. Why do I need a father who just cares about his lover?"

Unintentionally, Heiyu made a long speech. Yun Che placed his elbow on the table and squinted with his head on his hand. Did it look like Heiyu didn't want his father? If Heiyu didn't care about his father, how would he complain so much? As it turned out, Heiyu was an arrogant man.
