Chapter 1390 19.49 Second Red Star - Tun Shizhe's Interference
As the Zerg Race celebrates their Zerg Empress' evolution, Leng Jun from Federation Star is having a lonely time for the first time. At least before he transformed to his current state, he had Chuchu accompanying him all the time. Chuchu is one of the rare elemental who did need to return to the Spirit World, as he himself is a King Elemental who could exist with his power alone.
But now his only companion is gone, he might never see him again and he becomes a being that is neither human nor an elemental. A hybrid of both races yet not from each other's race. He is now an outlier. He sat at a snowy rock formation overlooking the white scenery which is both beautiful and cruel. All life except for the elementals had died under this white snow.
All are frozen and all life had turned to ice.
Leng Jun mumbles with a dull gaze, "How come winter is both beautiful yet extremely ruthless. Under those thick, soft looking, white snow are countless frozen dead corpses."
Out of nowhere a voice assaulted his ears. It's quite a magnetic voice with hints of seduction yet low manly and dangerous sounding voice.
{Are you sympathizing with those dead things? That's sounds ridiculous! Heh~}
Caught off guard, Leng Jun turn around and look for the one whose possibly the source of voice be. Unfortunately, under this fierce blizzard, he is the only one brave enough to be outside watching such strong breeze of wind, snow and ice. There was no one else.
"Who is it!?"
Leng Jun exclaimed as he saw that there was no one behind him. He continues to look around, but aside from the blizzard there is nothing. He increased his vigilance from such an unknown and invisible being.
{Heh~ you can't find me. I'm in another dimension. I'm just sending my divine consciousness to communicate with you. After all, your current state is interesting. Two souls in one body and the second soul is not human but an elemental.}
"You can see Chuchu? How is that possible?" Leng Jun said as he looked more guarded than before this time there is a sharpness within this little one's eyes.
{Just because you mortals couldn't, I a God can!}
This words left Leng Jun dumbfounded when he heard that the one talking with him is a God. But after returning to normal he looked even fiercer as if he doesn't believe in god at all.
As expected, Leng Jun said, "I don't belive in God."
{Of course, how could you believe in one when your world ended up like this. Unfortunately, you humans had no say into this. It's your greed that lead you to this result. You guys wanted to invade the Insect Race, ended up defeated an now don't have any shoulder to cry on. You can only bear with it. Haha~}
Leng Jun was enraged and shouted, "What the hell do you know?! My adopted father tried to stop them from doing it! In the end, they all end up dead and this planet ends up like this! We cannot stop them!"
{Isn't it better to kill them? If you had just ended there and then, this wouldn't have happen. But if that truly happened what about Chuchu? That poor little soul who only got to survive thanks to you~}
Leng Jun turned pale at the mention of his Elemental's name, Chuchu. This is the only existence that is as important as his adopted father, Old Serge. As if his sore spot was teased upon, uncontrollable annoyance entered Leng Jun's heart.
"Shut up, if you had nothing to say important!" He sat down and chose to ignore the voice in his mind.
Tun Shizhe felt that this former human is quite arrogant and stop teasing him.
{Are you sure your are going to ignore me? I know a way not only to save your planet but also to wake up your Chuchu~}
As if some devil whispered in his ears, Leng Jun's two life desires were poke by this unknown being. Even if he felt that this person is extremely dangerous, he had no other choice but to get interested with his taunts. In his life only his adopted father and his Chuchu are the most important people, if there is a way to save them, he is willing to do anything.
Leng Jun plead, "Please tell me... What do you want me to do?"
{Haha~ smart kid. I love talking to smart people the most. Of course, there is a way, unfortunately, you are far too weak to do it right now. Don't you know by consuming the spirit of Elementals of the same level or higher that you can become a God? Once you become a God, moving in space beyond this world is possible. Are you willing to do it?}
The new protagonist of the Federation Star had betrayed humanity for the sake of his desires. The first protagonist, Cid Warlock, thrown away his human side and live under the protection of the Hive Star after being betrayed by the people whom he had been proteting with all his life and almost lost all the halflings that is like him.
Now the new protagonist was enchanted by an Evil Existence, Tun Shizhe, asking him to throw away his righteousness for the sake of his loved one ignoring the world, Leng Jun was willing to do it.
Leng Jun with a serious expression said, "I am willing!"
{Good boy~ hahaha~}
The four corners around Leng Jun was suddenly distorted and the space was fragmented by small dragons of gluttony that broken through time and space. This purplish black aura entered Leng Jun's body allowing him to experience what an uncontrollable madness is.
His eyes turned bloodshot as he grabbed his head hearing countless devious voices telling him to eat, that they are hungry, that he must feed them or he would be eaten.
Unexpectedly, the trace of Chuchu's soul inside his body shut out this vicious power allowing Leng Jun to not lose his mind due to immense hunger.
A voice so familiar something he misses so much resounded in his mindm unlike the unlikable and devious voice of the Evil Being, Tun Shizhe, this voice is softer and gentle, it weaker as well, that it could barely spoke a sentence.
[A... Jun... Don't... Fall... I... Here...]
Leng Jun sounded delighted and tried to call the name that owns that voice he misses the most.
"Chuchu? Chuchu!? What's wrong!? Can you please speak again? Chuchu!?"
{He had gotten to weak. You must eat as much to covert the energy you ate into life energy so he can wake up fully.} Tun Shizhe whispered.
Enraged, Leng Jun wouldn't forget how he almost lost his mind just now due to those things that suddenly entered his body, but he knew that the one who caused it is none other than the owner of that malicious voice.
Leng Jun shouted, "What the hell did you gave me?"
{Hmp! As I've said, you are far too weak. I lend you my powers so you will be able to devour and convert all the energy you eat to a life force to wake up and healing your Chuchu.} Tun Shizhe reacted a sis hisnwirds were a matter of fact.
With distrust all over his face, Leng Jun said, "You are not lying! If not for Chuchu I would have gone crazy just then!"
{That shows how weak you are. Your Elemental is too protective of you that he forcibly wake up just to help you take control of my power. It would have been better if it was you who had control over it. My power leads to madness yet it gives you the strongest power and shortest way to get what you wanted. Do you want me to take it back?} Tun Shizhe said with a teasing tone.
He knew that no matter how dangerous the power of gluttony is for humans who couldn't hold back their desires would never be able to say no to this power. Because eating is the fastest way to gain power.
Leng Jun gritted his teeth and said, "No need!"
{With my power you might be able to eat that biggest one, but you need to eat the little kings first~}
Leng Jun knew what this man meant about little kings in his words. He is talking about the four overlord Elemental Kings that rule the four corners of the world. In the north is an Ice forest lead by the Ice Elemental Wolf King. In the south pole is the glacier islands controlled by the Ice Elemental Emperor Penguin.
In the direction of the west is the Ice Mountain under the command of the Ice Elemental Fox King and lastly, the East seaside led by Ice Elemental Octopus King.
He didn't even need time to think about choosing which direction he must go. Leng Jun went to the Ice Mountain to find the Ice Elemental Fox King. The Ice Elemental Wolf King said that this Fox King is capable of seeing through fate, a divination of destiny which is against the heavens itself.

In another dimension, unaffected by the other worlds, Tun Shizhe and Chaos are still together watching the play lead by the main actor: Leng Jun.
Tun Shizhe, who was watching from the other dimension chuckled at the choice of Leng Jun.
He mumbles, "In the end, you also wanted to know the future first before taking a step forward to your destined ending."
"Didn't that little fox is capable of divination? What are you supposed to do once your plans are exposed?" Lord Chaos asked.
He also watches the scene happening in the human star as if watching a play. He is nonchalantly and the devil may care. Aside from the man he hates and his main soul, he was not interested in anything else. He just chose to watch and passed some time.
Tun Shizhe snorted, "What can he even do if he knows? Are mortals capable of moving a God?"
"Maybe some does..." Lord Chaos said as he looked at the small back of Leng Jun disappearing as he entered the territory of the Ice Mountain. He looked so bored that he was even yawning, but there is an unexplainable look hidden at the depths of his eyes.
"You can't get involved with him. He is my thing!" Tun Shizhe said.
Tsk!
Lord Chaos rolled his eyes at Tun Shizhe and retorted, "Who care about your toys? They got broken so easily in the end like your clone!"
"That's because I'm injured! Or else that bastard wouldn't have beated me so easily." Tun Shizhe rebuked.
Unknown to these two, another pair of eyes was on them watching from another hidden dimension they couldn't sense. They didn't even notice as this person has a high mastery when it comes to Spatial Techniques. Because of this expert skills, he can watch Tun Shizhe and Chaos without them knowing.
This man mumbles, "Getting along too well, aren't we?"

Meanwhile in the Upper Realm world, Vearth...
The God of End and the God of Origin couldn't wait any longer to meet their Hunluan. They actually wanted to see Hei Anjing whenever he woke up, sadly the young man didn't like them much and wouldn't waste his limited awake time on them. He would only meet the God of Void, their children and his family in his era. As for them he shows no interest in meeting him at all.
The God of End said, "Jointress, wherefore we not holp taketh backeth our son's soul fragments instead of waiting f'r yond bootless brat to gath'r t?"
Translation: [Wife, why don't we help take back our son's soul fragments instead of waiting for that useless brat to gather it?]
The God of Origin had spoken, "Doth thee bethink that gent wouldst cometh backeth with us? Most of those soul fragments didn't coequal has't Hunluan's mem'ries. Wouldst those gents coequal recognizeth us at which hour jing'r coequal turneth a blindeth eye on us?"
Translation: [Do you think he would come back with us? Most of those soul fragments didn't even have Hunluan's memories. Would they even recognize us when Jing'er even turn a blind eye on us?]
The God of End, who felt the most guilt towards Hei Anjing after causing him to be imprisoned in the Void for unknown hundreds or thousands of years alone, feels he must do something to make things right.
Your next chapter is on empire
He said, "I still did want to tryeth. Haply, just haply our son's soul fragment wouldst cometh backeth with me."
Translation: [I still want to try. Maybe, just maybe our son's soul fragments would be willing to come back with me.]
The God of Origin's mood turned worse. He sneered at his partner and said, "Doth as thee prithee. I wonneth't beest accompanying thee!"
Translation: [Do as you wish. I won't be accompanying you!]
With reluctance, the God of End took his leave while looking at his other half's figure. In the end, he still decided to go.
"Jointress, I shall beest backeth lief!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Translation: [Wife, I will be back soon!]
There is no response from the God of Origin and the God of End could only leave while sighing depressingly.
Sigh~
A few moments after the God of End left, the God of Origin covers his face. Teardrops fell from the gaps of his finger and each of this tears were like seedlings that allowed a star or a world to be born. As the origin itself, he can create worlds through nothing even with just his tears.
The God of Origin mumbles sadly, "Haply I shouldn't has't ground'd mine own luan''r yond timeth. T's not liketh t is his fault yond the pow'r that gent is b'rn with is the chaos itself. In the endeth, t wast mine own feareth yond madeth me pusheth mine own only son hence."
Translation: [Maybe I shouldn't have punished my Luan'er that time. It's not like it is his fault that the power he is born with is the Chaos itself. In the end, it was my fear that made me push my only son away.]
