Playing a DPS Role with Absolute Defense - Chapter 363 - 361:
“What must be done, just say it!”
“Hurry up and say it, you’re driving this old man crazy.”
Gongsun Mu and the others urged anxiously, yet Li Yuanhao was still unable to speak the words that followed.
Chu Tian snatched the letter and was about to read it aloud, but the next sentence got stuck in his throat as well.
Because it was written below that [nine reincarnations of the Nine Heavens Profound Lady must be found within the Nine Heavens, and then she must be revived, only then can Su Yu reappear!]
If it were before, this might not have been a problem. With Su Mo’s strength, finding something within these Nine Heavens or even in nine hundred heavens was no big deal.
With Su Mo’s capability, lifespan and time had long become outdated concepts.
And he could also have others assist in the search; in today’s world, he didn’t believe anyone would dare defy Su Mo’s orders.
Not even the Daoist Venerable above the Nine Heavens!
This was Su Mo’s assurance and a fact as solid as iron.
For others, let alone the Nine Heavens, even a great domain within a single world would be a prison they could never escape, not even in ten lifetimes.
This was true even for them as of now.
Don’t be fooled by how easily Su Mo once destroyed the heavens; that was because his power surpassed the world’s limits.
And thanks to the Space Stone, which allowed for instant travel across worlds. Otherwise, traversing a great domain would take years, even decades.
Even with space traversal, it was the same, showing how vast a domain is, let alone a whole world.
It’s worth knowing that their previous Little Cosmos occupied just a small corner within the Cyan Heaven.
Finding one person in such a world seems impossibly difficult.
Moreover, countless secret realms, small spaces, small worlds, and maturing Little Cosmoses exist between heavens and earth…
Even finding a needle in a haystack would seem simple compared to this task.
Yet, Chu Tian still believed it wasn’t an issue.
Because Su Mo could rally everyone to help in the search, no matter how tough it was, it could be done.
But!
Not long ago, Su Mo had completely destroyed one world!
The Profound Nether Heaven no longer existed!
This meant that Su Yu of the Profound Nether Heaven, or should say the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Profound Lady, had perished along with the Profound Nether Heaven!
The Nine Heavens Profound Lady couldn’t be revived, which meant Su Yu would be gone forever in the history.
Unless time could be reversed to the past, otherwise…
Chu Tian held the letter in silence for a long time, and the rest, unless blind, could see his unusual demeanor.
Even though they didn’t know what was written in the letter, they were prepared for the worst.
Su Mo sat at the principal spot in the Human Emperor Hall, silent, having also read the contents of the letter.
His face remained unchanged, like a wooden sculpture or clay statue.
Yet, his once-calm heart began to ripple slightly.
If the previous Su Mo was still oblivious to what loss and grief were, seeing that letter stirred a subtle excitement within him.
As Chu Tian said, since his master Tu Hongwu wrote it, there must be a way to save her.
Just like a gambler, betting his last ten coins on five lottery tickets without hesitation.
And before buying those tickets, someone confidently told him that he would surely win.
At that moment, he wouldn’t care about what he’d lost, even thinking of getting back more than he lost.
But until the moment the lottery was drawn, everything changed.
Previously, his mind blocked out what loss meant, but now he understood.
All hope turned into despair, making everything seem meaningless at that moment.
Like a gambler losing everything, finally climbing to a rooftop.
First comes despair, then madness, outbursts, and finally, utter desolation…
Su Mo slowly twisted his stiff neck, producing a crisp crack, then looked up at the ceiling of the Human Emperor Hall.
He didn’t know why he did, just that he felt like doing it, so he did.
His mind was empty, devoid of thoughts, only feeling that the ceiling seemed quite appealing at that moment.
For a long time, Chu Tian didn’t come, nor did Li Yuanhao, Gongsun Mu, or the others.
Su Mo didn’t call anyone to hasten them; he simply stared at the ceiling quietly.
The people below exchanged confused glances, unsure of the Human Emperor’s intentions, but no one dared to ask.
Twenty minutes, an hour, before they knew it, two hours passed.
Everyone noticed the Human Emperor’s unusual behavior, yet still, no one dared to inquire.
Li Yuanting and Alice exchanged a glance, then Li Yuanting stood and said, “Everyone, let’s leave. Chu War God is likely mourning White War God, and Human Emperor is a bit tired from the recent battle.”
People exchanged looks, seeing Su Mo still staring upward, each standing to bow and quietly exiting without daring to disturb him.
When everyone had gone, Li Yuanting walked over to Su Mo and softly asked, concerned, “Su Mo, what’s wrong?”
Su Mo didn’t answer, but two streams of tears flowed down his cheeks, even as he kept his head raised.
“Su Mo.”
Li Yuanting called softly again, her face filled with worry.
Su Mo shook his head, “It’s nothing, I just recalled some things.”
“You, …”
“Alright, you all leave. I want to be alone for a while.”
Su Mo said, gently waving his hand.
Li Yuanting looked at Su Mo full of worry, having somewhat guessed what Su Mo had remembered from his previous words.
She wanted to speak again, but Alice gently pulled her away, turning her back towards the door.
Though Alice was worried too, she was merely a servant and could only follow Su Mo’s instructions.
Several times, Li Yuanting wanted to offer comfort, but Alice gently shook her head each time, signaling her not to speak.
The doors of the Human Emperor Hall slowly closed, leaving Su Mo alone at the top.
The empty Human Emperor Hall mirrored Su Mo’s empty heart.
He thought of nothing, unsure of what to ponder, just aware of an emptiness inside, as if missing a piece.
Su Mo remained seated, staring at the ceiling, tears endlessly streaming from his eyes.
Even in absence of thought, this persisted.
This was the feeling of losing someone dear.
…
After leaving the Human Emperor Hall, Li Yuanting immediately contacted Li Yuanhao, explaining what happened, instantly shocking Chu Tian and the others!
