Playing a DPS Role with Absolute Defense - Chapter 362 - 360: Su Mo's Reaction
In the Human Emperor Hall, Su Mo was quietly waiting for the arrival of Chu Tian.
Li Yuanting and Alice stood silently on either side of Su Mo.
The conference table was filled with both the younger and older generations of Divine Level experts.
From the beginning to the end, Li Yuanting’s gaze never left Su Mo’s face.
Suddenly, he saw a slight smile appear at the corner of Su Mo’s mouth. Although puzzled about what Su Mo was smiling at, he didn’t ask.
Instead, seeing this smile on Su Mo’s face didn’t make him happy either.
After all, it had been so long since he had seen a smile on Su Mo’s face.
Su Mo’s smile naturally came from constantly observing Chu Tian’s every move.
Originally, he just wanted to see what his master was hiding from him.
As a result, he saw that his two masters were actually quarrelling with each other from afar, which was genuinely amusing.
Previously, he had never realized that using Divine Order to observe others could be such fun.
As for his master’s previous comment about him possibly encountering danger, Su Mo wasn’t entirely indifferent.
Rather, it was simply impossible. If Tu Hongwu were to encounter danger, it would have happened long ago.
After all, his master’s strength is not considered very strong in this world and could even be deemed somewhat weak.
The reason why he’s still alive despite not joining any great sect and criticizing the Buddhist Sect for so many years is that the Buddhist Sect doesn’t dare to lay a hand on him and even has to protect his life.
Even in this situation of splitting into three, it remains the same.
Although some people want to kill Tu Hongwu, others want to protect him.
The final result shows that those who wished to protect him took him away.
Therefore, Su Mo no longer worried about his master’s safety.
At the other end, the cemetery, it wasn’t until Chu Tian had been cursing for several minutes that Gongsun Mu and others stopped him.
Li Wenhao continued to read aloud:
[Su Mo, by the time you read this letter, who knows how much time has passed, and whether you have let go of the matter regarding your sister, Su Yu.
Over the years, wandering around the world, my primary goal has been to gather information about your sister Su Yu.]
[After continuous efforts over these years, although I can’t claim to fully understand, I have pieced together enough to guess most of it.]
[According to the records in various ancient texts and great teachings, your sister is likely the reincarnation of the fabled Nine Heavens Profound Lady of this world.
There are two versions regarding the Nine Heavens Profound Lady. The first version is that the Nine Heavens Profound Lady was the earliest Celestial Venerable Level expert before the division of the Nine Heavens, and only after becoming the Daoist Venerable was she called Celestial Venerable. However, in the current age, Daoist Venerables are termed Earth Venerables as the title of Emperor Venerable was too unappealing for them, hence they are called Daoist Venerables instead.
The Celestial Venerable’s strength was so overwhelming that it made all the Daoist Venerables feel threatened, so they divided the whole world into nine parts, forcibly splitting the strength of the Nine Heavens Profound Lady into nine, turning her from Celestial Venerable to Daoist Venerable, leading to her demise under a united front.
However, being a Celestial Venerable, even when split into nine and forcibly killed, she wouldn’t truly die, as she reincarnates and is resurrected from time to time.]
Li Yuanhao read this long passage in one breath, putting everyone’s previously tense hearts at ease.
They had been worried about how Su Mo would react if he learned his sister had already died and there was no way to save her, predicting he might become unpredictable.
At this moment, Su Mo sat dumbfounded in the Human Emperor Hall.
Since learning that he had a sister named Su Yu, his mind buzzed, with a flood of sealed memories surging into his consciousness.
Instantly, all the memories about him and his sister came back to him.
From a young age, without their parents, it was only him and his sister who depended on each other. His sister, lacking any cultivation talent, dropped out early to work and supported him to school.
Not until he awakened did everything begin to change.
Originally, Su Mo thought that upon hearing news about his sister’s absence, he would be heartbroken, sad, or even go mad, angry enough to destroy everything in sight.
However, his heart was eerily calm, as if this matter was trivial and insignificant.
His heart was frighteningly calm, like a deep, unfathomable lake, devoid of any ripples.
He examined these memories as if watching someone else’s life, completely unrelated to him.
He didn’t understand why he felt like this; he wanted to be sad, to grieve, to go mad, to show something, yet found he could do nothing.
The reason for such a state was simple: Su Mo’s brain hadn’t fully reacted yet.
He hadn’t realized that his sister was already gone. In his impression, it was as if his sister was still by his side just a moment ago.
True grief is not about crying out loud at the moment of loss, but this kind of calmness, just as serene as Su Mo’s state.
Although his loved ones had indeed departed, in his subconscious, it seemed like they never left.
The expected emotions are continually suppressed because his brain fears the overwhelming release of feelings, choosing to hide it instead.
Previously self-erasing memories, now delaying emotional eruptions are driven by this logic.
Until one day, at some moment, when Su Mo truly realizes that his sister is indeed gone, then every suppressed feeling will erupt in an instant.
The calmer he is now, the more terrifying the eruption will be later.
Like the calm before a storm, or the serenity before a tsunami.
Su Mo just sat silently at the high seat in the Human Emperor Hall, listening, like a clay sculpture, without any expression, even that slight smile still frozen in place, unchanged.
Upon reading this piece of information, Chu Tian’s eyes noticeably brightened, inferring from Tu Hongwu’s records that Su Yu still has a chance of resurrection.
With this in mind, everyone couldn’t help but urge Li Yuanhao to continue reading.
[The second version states that the Nine Heavens Profound Lady is the embodiment of the Nine Heavens’ will, managing all Daoist Venerables due to inheriting the Nine Heavens’ will. Even if divided into nine, as long as the Nine Heavens does not perish, the Nine Heavens Profound Lady will not die.]
[In fact, the first method is similar. To resurrect Su Yu, one must, must…]
At this point, Li Yuanhao’s words suddenly halted, with even his hand holding the envelope beginning to tremble slightly.
