Chapter 628 - Drifting around (1/2)

Translator: Radiant Translations Editor: Radiant Translations

The Bloodshed God Palace occupied a third of the entire Deity world–it was a vast territory. Xue Ying had traveled through many different places within in search of an opportunity to break through.

Cloud Card Planet.

Within an ordinary little city, inside a usual civilian courtyard, there was an old carpenter currently carving a pattern on a wooden chair. There were much wooden shavings on the ground.

“Uncle.” A green-robed teenager walked out from inside the house, “My body seems to be almost fully recovered, and it is time for me to leave. Many thanks for saving me.”

The old carpenter’s appearance was 70% similar to that of Xue Ying’s.

It’s just that his hair was white.

It was evident that this man was Xue Ying with a transformed appearance. He was currently roaming around the Deity world, staying for a few dozen years at a single place each time as a mortal. He would gradually grow old on the appearance, and when he was old enough, he would silently leave the area and start a new life in another place.

“Brat, your injuries have yet to recover fully.” Xue Ying straightened his back while hammering it at the same time. Only then did he came walking over with a slight hunchback, “You should be at ease with staying over at my place. Rest well. It will not be late for you to leave when you are fully recovered.”

“Uncle, I’ll only bring you trouble if I stay here.” The teenager added.

“Hahaha, your uncle’s hair is already white. I am staying here alone too, so what trouble would I be afraid of?” Xue Ying laughed. As he laughed, he coughed twice, “Even if you don’t tell me, I can guess it. During that night when I saved you, the person the entire city is searching should be you right?”

The green-robed teenager laughed awkwardly.

He knew that this uncle in front of him must have figured out since they had described the appearances and injuries of the person the city was searching. How could he not conclude it?

“Relax and stay here for a little longer. This uncle I, am just living alone. You could accompany me.” Xue Ying said with his back hunched. He coughed twice before turning around and continued carving the pattern on the chair.

“Uncle, you are always coughing. You should go and get some medicine.” The green-robed teenager was concerned.

“It’s just an old illness, nothing much.” Xue Ying’s transformed body was akin to a mortal, and would similarly get old and sick.

Suddenly, Xue Ying looked outwards.

“Dong dong dong…”

Very soon, booming sounds could be heard vaguely from outside the courtyard. The expression of the green-robed teenager changed drastically. He immediately leaped to the roof of the house and tried to escape. But suddenly, a loud and clear sound resounded in the sky. Many birds came flying over. The birds were wearing armor, and there were even warriors on them as they enveloped the entire sky.

“Peng.” The door to the courtyard was immediately shattered. Many soldiers riding fierce beasts came rushing in.

The green-robed teenager looked upwards at the dozens of soldiers riding on the flying birds before revealing a look of despair as he went back into the courtyard.

Among that group of soldiers within the courtyard was a teenager wearing gorgeous clothes and riding a white-haired mutated beast. He walked right at the forefront. He had a cold smile as he said to the green-robed teenager, “My beloved little brother, isn’t it better if you could obediently become a puppet emperor? You’ll be living a life of luxury, and can enjoy the beauties all you want as well.”

“Becoming a puppet emperor? You are just asking me to die!” The green-robed teenager angrily shouted, “Don’t think I do not know, three years later, the Deities will descend and take away the belief energy. If they discover that there’s no belief energy, they will kill this emperor directly. Besides, if I am not wrong, you have a demon god behind your back who will act against me as well, controlling my soul and turning me into a true loyal puppet! That to me is worse than death.”

“Ze ze ze, you know quite a lot of things.” The gorgeous-clothed teenager exclaimed, “I have truly belittled you.”

“You are my brother, so why are you treating me as such!” The green-robed teenager angrily shouted.

“Who made us the royal family? Who caused us to have a few hundred brothers and sisters?” The gorgeous-clothed teenager sighed, “Three years later when the Deities descend, everything must be hidden properly. We must prepare the scapegoat. There must not be the slightest mistake. Alright, it’s time for you to return.”

The green-robed teenager gritted his teeth, yet he looked around him with despair, “I can return with you, but you have to promise me and let go of this uncle. He is an ordinary man.”

“Is it him?”

The gorgeous-clothed teenager turned towards Xue Ying who was slightly hunchbacked before sneering, “I said before I’ll not let there be any mistakes.”

“God emissary, kill him.” The gorgeous-clothed teenager ordered.

“Yes, your highness.” A black-robed man respectfully acknowledged.

“No, no, if you continued like this, I, I’ll just suicide!” The green-robed teenager gritted his teeth.

“My little brother, are you brave enough to suicide? Rest assured. In front of me, any of you mortals can’t suicide at all.” The gorgeous-clothed teenager chuckled. Unseen world energy had long enveloped around the green-robed teenager, “Better accept your fate. This is the fate I have arranged for you.”

The green-robed teenager’s eyes were red as he looked at Xue Ying, “Uncle, I have implicated too many other people, and even implicated you.”

“Aiyo.”

“So this has even involved matters of stealing belief energy.” Xue Ying coughed twice as he said, “The belief energy is something the higher level of the Deity world requires, and every single planet has to hand them in, yet there’s a demon god who dares to steal the belief energy. Such huge courage.”

As Xue Ying spoke, that black-robed man who was walking over could no longer move. He could only turn his eyes.

The gorgeous-clothed teenager’s expression changed. Hearing that ‘every single planet has to hand them in’, and turning over to the god emissary who was stuck there unmoving, he knew he had met huge trouble.

“Teacher, teacher, there’s trouble.” The gorgeous-clothed teenager asked for help.

Very soon–
