Nether System's Space.
When Prisoner Yun Ming appeared in the private space of Hei Anjing, the couple, Hei Jue and An Liang hadn't left yet. They were surprised to see that only Yun Ming had returned. A frown immediately appeared on Hei Jue's face.
Hei Clan's current Leader asked, "Only you? Why did you return alone? Where are the rest?"
Yun Ming, whose memories had somewhat returned, politely responded to the man who looked similar to Lord Hei's features.
His thoughts upon seeing Hei Jue, 'This person is... The God of Dimension, Lord Hei Jue.'
"Answering to the questions of the Lord, this Yun Ming had returned alone to look for the Venerable Lord Hei. After his vessel had died he returned alone right away when he finished capturing the traitors of Hei Clan and the Prince of Ye Gui, Ye Tianyu. And then... "
During Yun Ming's retelling of information, he was halted by An Liang who suddenly spoke in the middle.
"W-Wait!? Wait, what did you say just now? You've said An's Vessel in the last world had been killed and afterward he captured those bastards!?" asked An Liang in confusion.
Yun Ming replies, "Yes, the Venerable Lord was in his soul form when he did so. He was in his God Form and temporarily materialized his real body to capture the enemies then he left as soon as they were all imprisoned in a soul prison owned by Lord Hei."
Learning that Hei Anjing used his real God form without even a vessel to put restrictions on him and avoid the powerful backlash of Heaven's Will, the couple couldn't stop from cursing out. Now they finally understood why the soul of Hei Anjing just now was too weak and almost transparent. The existence of that soul is slowly diminishing. No wonder the former left in a hurry because Hei Anjing knew that they would notice if he stayed any longer.
Hei Jue was so pissed off this time that his eyes turned bloodshot.
"That useless and stupid man. He is already a burden, now he is making himself even a bigger burden on Jing'er. Why did he have to be the one chosen as Anjing's other half? If their lives weren't connected I would love to kill that selfish bastard on the spot!" exclaimed Hei Jue in rage.
If Ye Xiajie appears at this moment, Hei Jue would have jumped on the man and beat him up with no mercy. After all, Hei Anjing's soul was already standing in a thin thread in the first place but now it is already on the verge of disappearing and Ye Xiajie's soul is still missing a few more.
An Liang tries to calm down his wife, "Dear, anger is bad for your health. Breathe in, breathe out. Calm your heart."
"I know. Dammit!" Hei Jue then looked at the prisoner in front of him. He recognized him as the former God of Fate and had a somewhat relationship with his cousin. "Are you here because you are looking for Jing'er? He already entered the next world. Do you wish to follow him?" said Hei Jue.
Yun Ming answered, "If possible, Yes."
"But with his current state even if he had gone to the next world his memories would most likely be sealed for a while as his soul is thoroughly weakened this time. I will put you in a vessel closely connected to him. Can you somewhat guide him while he doesn't have any memories?" said An Liang.
Yun Ming nods his head in agreement.
Hei Jue also added, "That idiot group of three would also come over. You would recognize them right away makes sure that until Jing'er's memories returned, don't let them recognize you both." passed two similar necklaces to Yun Ming, "These artifacts will hide your soul presence from being recognized. Keep Jing'er safe."
"I will," said Yun Ming before he got transferred to the other world where Hei Anjing had gone.

Inside Ye Xiajie's Soul domain.
Watching the recording of his first meeting with his wife during their younger days made Ye Xiajie nostalgic, especially seeing the scene from a different perspective than his own. Thanks to his little brother he had seen how foolish he looked when Hei Anjing suddenly complimented his eyes.
He saw his cheeks slightly crimson yet his face was rigid without emotion. Like an expressionless doll who couldn't control his own emotions. He looked foolish as he stared at his wife's face like he was bewitched.
"No wonder Jing'er suddenly laughs at that time. I do look stupid and... cute?" murmured Ye Xiajie as he noticed the sudden changes in his Soul Domain. Ripples on the space appear he knows why this is happening. "I'm about to wake up soon, is it? It would only allow me to view one memory at a time. I should wake up and look for my wife and beg for forgiveness..."
Ye Xiajie closed his eyes in the soul domain and the second time he opens it, he reveals his eyes in reality and saw the familiar scenery inside the Ancient Temple. Those old-looking stone pillars and that weirdly huge nest with three eggs is something he had seen before losing consciousness. But for some reason, the number of eggs on the nest made him uncomfortable.
Ye Xiajie's thoughts, 'Three eggs? Have there been three eggs before?' but before he could think more deeply about the changes with the number of eggs, Warden Lou and Zhi Yue had spoken to him.
"Greetings to the Lord God!"
"Stand. Tell me the current events. Where is my wife? Had he safely returned to the Capital with the Feng Family?" asked Ye Xiajie.
Soon after he felt things were strange when he hadn't heard any answers to his questions. He turned around only to see his two subordinates looking so reluctant and terrified at how they should explain things to their boss. They both flinched when they met those dark orbs staring sharply at them. Their reaction was seen by Ye Xiajie as expected and that uncomfortable feeling in his heart spreads even more.
"Are you not going to answer this Lord's question?" asked Ye Xiajie as his tone turned icy with hints of fierceness.
Zhi Yue who didn't want to agree to any of his lord's plans from before had stepped in and showed the recordings of events after Ye Xiajie faked his death to meet his younger brother.
"I think Milord should watch this instead," said Zhi Yue as he pulled out a holographic screen from out of nowhere.
The Lord God of Nether System watched the video in silence. The more he watched, the more his face turned pale. He could understand his wife's state more than anyone. As someone with an incomplete soul, he knew what it means to have a fading soul state.
As expected, Ye Xiajie released an aura that almost destroyed the whole temple. Zhi Yue and Warden Lou did their best to protect the eggs at the center. Darkness spreads from Ye Xiajie's feet about to swallow the sun and moon but the words Zhi Yue said next had stopped his berserk completely.
"My Lord, are you going to destroy this world Lord Hei did his best to protect? Even though he and the Fengs are not related by blood, Lord Hei had taken a liking to them enough to personally say goodbye before he left this world. Are you going to obliterate this star which houses people he cares for?" said Zhi Yue.
Hearing these sentences Ye Xiajie had abruptly stopped his raging aura and peace had returned. He pulls it back without thinking that he had suffered some injuries. Blood trickles in the corner of his lip which he nonchalantly wipes without care.
"Let's return to the System Space, 13," said Ye Xiajie but Zhi Yue's expression turned even uglier when he asked this.
Zhi Yue answered, "We can't. Lord Hei had locked my authority in this world. Even if we destroyed this star we can leave for a certain duration. Only Yun Ming was allowed to leave. He already returned to the System and must have followed Lord Hei. Milord, your wife is truly angry this time. He locked us in this world for 500 years."
Ye Xiajie covered his eyes to hide his astonishment and disbelief. Only when he had calmed down his raging emotions that he put down his hand and dazedly looked at the distant horizon with dull eyes. Since his wife doesn't want to see him for a while, he could only stay here until the former had calmed down.
500 years is neither long nor short for Gods like them. Ye Xiajie decided to use this time to stabilize his soul so he could accompany his wife in the System Space as planned.
"Sigh~ We would be staying here for 500 years. Prepare a place to stay. Somewhere away from mortals as possible." ordered Ye Xiajie but this is just an excuse to send them away.
Once Zhi Yue and warden Lou had disappeared, Ye Xiajie fell tiredly under some tree within the temple. He covered his face with an arm as he used his knee as support. Others will think he is only sleeping but if someone comes over they would see water droplets falling on the ground.
At this moment Ye Xiajie's heart is full of remorse, guilt, and regret. If he could come back to the past he would just ask his wife to allow him to meet his younger brother or instead not be curious about something he would still learn in the future. He is so impatient that he makes mistakes one after another. Hurting his wife in the process over and over again. He is being stupid as Hei Jue said.

500 years later...
The newest and strongest generation was led by the original Feng Jing and Marshal Sirius who had been reborn successfully. In the beginning, the relationship between the real Feng Jing and Altair Sirius is estranged but by the will of the heavens they are indeed destined together, it is just that they were both killed countless times in their past lives before they could meet each other.
Now that they were given the opportunity to spend time together, their feelings had flowed as they were supposed to. In the end, these two had gotten married and had children. Xue Ying and Lin Yven also had problems at first. Unlike Feng Jing and Sirius who were reborn due to the former's purest phoenix bloodline, Lin Yven is an outsider.
His memories were sealed once he woke up. But unlike what was expected, the one Lin Yven had forgotten is not his family but his lover. Because of this Xue Ying had to court his wife for years and got rejected multiple times until Lin Yven's memories returned only afterward that they also got married.
The former teammates trained by Hei Anjing before had chosen to follow the current Feng Jing except for Solaris Vega and Xue Ran who made their own organization. They build a company that sells mechas, spaceships, and varying gadgets made by Solaris Vega. They were successful until they reached SSS ranked potential as Hei Anjing prophesied.
Grand Marshal Janus Stellan and Alula Celeste became the Empire's strongest couple and passed their positions to Feng Jing and Altair after 3 years. Now they are living with the Fengs Old Masters spending their retirement with their sworn brothers at peace.
The only remaining royal blood, Regulus Zenith, didn't choose to rebuild the Imperial Palace. Instead, he chose to follow his wife's name and was called Feng Zenith, the second son-in-law of the Phoenix Clan. The name Regulus was buried in history after Hei Anjing destroyed the Imperial Palace. His mother, Empress Adhara's body was buried in a private cemetery within the Feng Territory. He was delighted that he was able to see his mother's body for the last time. He wanted to thank Hei Anjing but he had longed to leave when he heard about it.
With System Etoile and Zhi Yue's help, the current Era has upgraded to a semi-cultivation and futuristic world. With System Etoile helping the masses to upgrade their potential it didn't take a while for the Oberion Empire to become the strongest in the whole Intergalactic Federation.
Now the other races had feared the human races as they were able to possess strength that could rival the Gods. But the real reason why the other races are afraid of the human planet is because of the cruel immoral living in it. Ye Xiajie couldn't release his anger at the human side and so he decided to show it against those alien races. In his berserk, he had eliminated more than 10 alien races. They perished and got erased without leaving a speck of dust.
Ye Xiajie was revered as their hidden guardian kike Hei Anjing before he left. Now in the history of the Oberion Empire, two Immortal beings were said to like the Oberion Empire and protected them from all those alien races who wanted to turn the human race into slaves or food. The God of Ice and the God of Flames. That's how Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie were recorded in the history of the Oberion Empire.
Today is the last day of the year 500. Ye Xiajie and the other two could finally take their leave and return to the System Space and look for his wife who had run away. Ye Xiajie had been staying at the Ancient Temple all this time. This is the only place in Oberion that is secluded from humans and only Feng and their family knew about this place.
Zhi Yue and Warden Lou were standing waiting for their lord to wake up from his meditation. Within this 500 years of seclusion, Ye Xiajie had learned most of the past memories from what his brother had left for him. Because of that he somewhat already guessed what happened in the past. That he died and what his wife did after he died.
He now understood why Hei Anjing wasn't willing to speak a word about it. After learning about it, he felt even guiltier, and lasting regret stayed in his heart. He had been waiting for this time when he could finally leave this world and find his lover.
Feng Jing and Altair Sirius knew they would be leaving today and decided to see them off. It might just be to pass his boredom but Ye Xiajie had trained these two until they've reached the required strength to ascend to the higher realms. They could leave this world anytime and enter a higher-ranked world but this couple chooses not to at this moment. Their children were still too young after all.
From Zhi Yue, they've heard about the existence of Vearth, the God System, and the Nether System. They were told to bring the rest of their group over to the highest realm in the future.
Ye Xiajie said, "I can finally look for my wife. You two... Take care. You can always visit us in the Nether System once you've gone to Vearth. I've already had Yue leave the coordinates for you," said Ye Xiajie.
Altair Sirius responded, "Understood, Master. When the time comes we will come over and visit Vearth with the rest."
"At the time I wish I could see Lord Anjing with you, Master," said Feng Jing.
Ye Xiajie said, "Why is it that your words seem to be telling me that my wife might not be around at that time, Feng Jing?"
"Because Master is annoying, Lord Anjing has been angered multiple times already," retorted Feng Jing.
The former could speak a word as he knew that the young man was telling the truth. Even though Feng Jing's soul was asleep when Hei Anjing borrowed his body, some memories related to the two were left and this young man had seen it.
Warden Lou commented, "Sounds very likely to happen."
"A'Feng you don't have to worry, Lord Jing lives in Vearth with his Maternal Clan, Mo. You can always visit him there if he is not with the Lord."
"Oh~ that's good then..." said Feng Jing.
Marshal Sirius on the other hand was looking at his Master's darkening face. He looks like he is about to explode anytime.
"Honey, that's enough teasing," said Sirius to his wife.
Feng Jing said, "Hmp! Fine~"
After making the final preparations, Zhi Yue had returned to his System form and began the transfer for his lord and Warden Lou. He would be carrying them away back to the System Space.
[We need to go now. Take care!]
Feng Jing and Altair Sirius watched as the three took their leave. Like what happened to Feng Wu's body before Major General Drake Izar's vessel had also only left behind a pile of ashes. When the three disappeared in front of them, they knew that they had left their world.
Altair Sirius, "They had left huh."
"No worries we can see them again once we ascend," said Feng Jing.
Sirius clasped their ten fingers and smiled, "Yes, we will meet each other again in the future."
