Playing a DPS Role with Absolute Defense - Chapter 361 - 359: Personally Addressed to My Disciple, Su Mo!

Li Yuanhao wanted to say something more but was pulled aside by Gongsun Mu, signaling that some matters were better left for them to discuss privately.

Then the others departed, leaving Chu Tian alone, standing in front of the grave, drinking by himself.

On this day, Chu Tian drank wildly, pouring out all the experiences and feelings of his past years to his old friend.

He wasn’t as scheming as Tu Hongwu, nor as meticulous as Bai Yuanhao.

Seemingly carefree and aloof, with his heart set only on cultivation, yet who can truly be without some inner pain?

In the past, he had devoted himself to cultivation because the Human Race was without gods. As the acknowledged number one genius, he bore the burden of the entire Human Race, becoming its first god.

Afterwards, he was entrusted with the hope of leading the Human Race to rise again.

Unfortunately, except for a certain talent in combat, he didn’t do well in other matters.

It wasn’t until the rise of deities like Tu Hongwu and Bai Yuanhao that he finally freed himself from these chains, his strength advancing by leaps and bounds.

In his mind, he couldn’t handle other matters but only needed to ensure his strength was at the forefront of the Human Race, ready to step forward when danger threatened.

This continued for sixty years, until Su Mo’s strength completely surpassed his own.

Though he never showed any signs on the outside, even feeling somewhat happy, the persistence of years in his heart was not something that could be easily let go.

After leaving the Little Cosmos, he focused even more on cultivation. Though he had long realized his talent was no match before Su Mo, this monster, for remaining the Human Race’s number one War God.

Yet, even so, he still wanted to make himself stronger to better help his disciple.

At the time, he didn’t think much, since none of those who left the Little Cosmos with him had encountered danger.

The Buddha Race and Insect Race, both rapidly rising powers, dared not make a move on them.

Then each joined top sects due to their talents.

The entire Human Race was safe in Su Mo’s Little Cosmos, facing no threats.

It seemed like that was the best choice — wait for Su Mo to return, avenge great wrongs, and lead the Human Race to rise again, surely claiming their place in this realm.

Who would have thought that the youngest, who joined the greatest power and received the most nurturing, Bai Yuanhao, would be the first one to…

And now his disciple was just as lost, with Tu Hongwu not around, all the burden once again fell upon his shoulders.

Some things, even wanting to find someone to talk about, there was no one to be found.

Now, he could only stand before Bai Yuanhao’s grave, drinking alone.

As night fell, when Gongsun Mu and the others once again arrived at Bai Yuanhao’s grave, they found the offering table, which had been somewhat disordered by events of the previous day, tidied up neatly again.

And Chu Tian still stood there quietly, gazing at the tall statue before him, a slight smile on his face, as if bidding farewell to that dear friend.

“Chu War God…”

Li Yuanhao called out several times before Chu Tian came back to his senses: “What happened?”

“Su Mo invites you to the Human Emperor Hall, and besides, the younger generation of the Human Race hopes to witness the demeanor of the Chu War God.

Actually, the main reason is to discuss the future development of the Human Race.”

Chu Tian’s brows furrowed slightly, silently thinking to himself that what was meant to come had finally come.

He suspected this gathering to discuss the future was fake, the real reason being Su Mo’s impatience to uncover what he might be hiding.

It was very likely Su Mo had already questioned others, but who dared tell the truth to Su Mo?

Those who knew would feign ignorance, and those who didn’t know would know still less.

When pressed, they might shove the issue back onto him.

Thus, Su Mo’s inquiries seemed destined to be in vain.

Yet, Chu Tian felt quite helpless, even wanting to shove the matter onto Tu Hongwu, but given the situation, it seemed unavoidable.

Hesitating for a moment, Chu Tian glanced at Li Yuanhao, speaking via sound transmission: “Did your master hand anything to you or Su Mo before dying?”

Li Yuanhao shook his head: “Back then, he did collect some information about Sister Su Yu, but afterward, he never had the chance to hand it to me, or Su Mo might have…”

Chu Tian sighed, gently patting Li Yuanhao’s shoulder before looking at Old Long standing nearby: “Take out the item, let me first see what’s remembered in it.”

“This…”

Old Long hesitated, unsure whether to hand this information to Chu Tian, though he knew it was for his own good.

The problem was that Tu Hongwu, before he left, repeatedly instructed him to hand it to Su Mo.

“This doesn’t seem right.”

“Nothing’s wrong, I’m saving your life here.”

Even after hearing this, Old Long hesitated, but eventually handed over the item.

[To my disciple, Su Mo]

Seeing these six characters on the envelope, Chu Tian’s expression visibly stiffened for a moment.

Damn Tu Hongwu, that dog, even being captured, still finds a way to take advantage of me one last time.

Gongsun Mu’s expression was very serious, but judging from his averted gaze, it was clear he was barely holding it together.

Chu Tian took the envelope without hesitation, handing it to Gongsun Mu standing beside him: “You are closer to Old Tu, why not you open it.”

Gongsun Mu quickly waved his hands: “No, no, better you open it, since you’re the one who wanted to see it.”

Li Yuanhao, noticing their hesitation, after a moment’s pause said: “Perhaps I should open it.”

Everyone nodded in unison: “Alright!”

The envelope was opened, and they saw Tu Hongwu’s familiar handwriting.

[Su Mo, though I don’t know why I’m delivering these messages to you via an envelope.

But if it’s not spoken by me personally, perhaps when you see this letter, I’ve already faced danger, maybe even gone.]

[However, no need to grieve for me, as someone who’s already died once, I’ve long set aside life and death.

Of course, maybe I’m not dead, just temporarily gone, but that’s beside the point. The main reason for leaving this letter is to share some information I’ve gathered over the years.]

Li Yuanhao slowly read out the contents, yet when he came to a certain part, he paused, looking around hesitantly, unsure how to proceed.

Chu Tian, sensing Li Yuanhao’s strange pause, quickly asked: “What’s the matter?”

“Um, maybe you should read this part yourself.”

Without needing much thought, Chu Tian had already guessed the situation and immediately said:

“Did Tu Hongwu that dog badmouth me? Just read it aloud.”

Li Yuanhao hesitated once more, then continued reading:

[Oh, before I forget, make sure if I’m dead, to pile my grave higher, at least higher than Chu Tian’s, that dog. If I’m not dead, just pretend you didn’t see this line.]

“You &@#%&%#@!!”
