His rationality was at its pinnacle, and he was so calm that he was merciless. When he attacked, he would die. In fact, his entire body exuded an endless aura of death, as if he was exercising the right to die in place of Hell.
This was the gray Su Ming.
Once the Life Inequity Spear appeared, the vortex formed in space looked like the path leading to Hell. When it was activated, the ghosts who had escaped death but were in a semi-living state were sucked into the vortex while screaming shrilly. They were then … sent back into the cycle of reincarnation by the gigantic gray moon behind Su Ming!
As for the ghosts who had escaped, they were reduced to ashes with a bang as the two small humans from the gourds charged forward. They disappeared without a trace.
Everything had just begun, but it had already ended.
The gray-haired Su Ming swung the Life Inequity Spear in his hand. Once it turned into a ring, he lifted the gourd, and the two small humans from the gourds immediately fell back. They turned into two long arcs that fused into the gourd and disappeared without a trace.
There were no longer any ghosts roaring in the area. Everything returned to silence.
Xu Hui stared at Su Ming in a daze, and a chill rose in her heart. The callousness in this person was incredibly clear. It was a person who did not care about all the living. It was a form of pure rationality, a mercilessness that would scatter all emotions on the outside.
The destructive power spreading out from the gray moon just now had spread outwards. If she … had not noticed it beforehand and retreated, there was a high possibility that she would have been affected by the destructive power.
But this was secondary. When Xu Hui looked towards Su Ming, she saw the gray pupils in his eyes, and her heart could not help but tremble.
"Su Ming …" Xu Hui bit her bottom lip and said softly.
However, her voice did not elicit any response from Su Ming. He only cast her a faint glance. The mercilessness in his eyes was as cold as ice. He swept his gaze past her, then turned his head around and took a step towards the space in front of him.
Xu Hui's face was slightly pale. In silence, she controlled the body of the supreme treasure to follow behind Su Ming. The bald crane had also recovered by then. While mumbling about the gourd it had created in the past, it swept its beady eyes past Xu Hui.
"Hey, Big Sister Xu, don't think too much about it. It's fine, it's fine." The bald crane flew to Xu Hui's side. Once it let out a few fake coughs, it started comforting her. However, the way it comforted her did not sound right.
"There's no way I wouldn't understand Little Su. Let me tell you, based on my analysis and the hints Granny Crane gave me, I think that there's something wrong with his mind right now …" While following Xu Hui, the bald crane gestured with its claws as it spoke.
"Using the words from my old home, his emotions have been divided into several parts, and he can't control them himself. First, he is easily anged, and when he is angry, gray will appear.
'Secondly, he's afraid of being stimulated. Once he's stimulated, red will instantly appear, but I'm not too sure what sort of state that golden thing will appear in.' The bald crane scratched its head, and with a contemplative look, it sized up Su Ming, who stood before it.
Su Time., but that that that that he that could,,, he that that was, he of, he that, he as, of, of a of, of of Ming of a of, of., he of the of a of. of of, of of. of.
Time trickled by. Su Ming had no idea how much time had passed. As he charged forward, he got closer to the core of the fifth kiln.
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from the distance. It echoed in the entire fifth kiln in a languid manner.
"Su …" That voice was unprecedentedly strong, so much so that when Su Ming heard it, his body shuddered. He could tell … that it was a woman's voice!
Once the bald crane heard that voice, it shuddered, and struggle appeared in its eyes. Xu Hui's expression changed by the side. She knew that the bald crane had been acting strangely when it heard that voice. At that moment, without any hesitation, she lifted her right hand and swung it.
The bald crane immediately turned into a long arc that charged towards Xu Hui and fused into the body of the supreme treasure. Only then did the struggle on its face become much fainter.
"Su …" The woman's voice appeared again. This time, there was a hint of urgency in her voice. In fact, Su Ming did not know whether it was just a figment of his imagination, but he heard a hint of a quiver in her voice.
A bang went off in Su Ming's head. That voice was unfamiliar to him, but there was also a sense of familiarity to it. It was as if … he had heard that voice countless times in the past.
Su Ming's long hair changed from gray to black at that moment. The aloof air about him disappeared, and the Su Ming of the past returned to him.
He shuddered and stared at the space from which the voice had come. He stared at it quietly.
Xu Hui also saw Su Ming's recovery and approached him with light steps. She stood beside him and asked in a low voice, "She is …"
Su Ming shook his head.
"I scared you just now. This wasn't my intention. Once I fused with the moon in Lunar Kalpa Realm, something went wrong with my emotions," Su Ming mumbled. He took a step forward and charged towards the place from which the voice had come.
At that moment, there was no longer any calmness or rationality in Su Ming. The only thing left in him was the determination in his heart and the urge formed by the guesses that made him feel uneasy.
Xu Hui followed Su Ming quietly and walked with him.
Time trickled by, and Su Ming's speed increased. The woman's voice echoed in his ears again and again. After an unknown amount of time passed, when Su Ming saw a gigantic altar floating in space in front of him, an endless bang went off in his head.
He saw that there was a coffin on the altar!!
It was a transparent coffin, and he could see that a woman was lying inside it …
At the instant he saw the woman, Su Ming felt as if there were one million thunderbolts roaring in his body at the same time. He shuddered, and confusion as well as a complicated look appeared in his eyes.
This was the core of the fifth kiln, and the altar was the center of it. The coffin on the altar was constantly in space, using the space in the fifth kiln to absorb all the life force from the people, and all of it … would be absorbed by the coffin before being sent into the woman's body.
This was a Rune, a Rune with the fifth kiln as the Rune. Its goal was to continuously send life force into the coffin to ensure that the woman's life force would not be extinguished!
As he stared at the woman in the coffin, tears fell from Su Ming's eyes without him realizing it. There was no way he would not know this woman. In his memories in Western Ring Nebula's foreign lands, even when she died, she still hugged the baby in her arms and used her body to protect him. This was a mother.
Su Ming's … mother!
Su Ming shuddered. Tears fell from his eyes as he walked towards the coffin.
"Su …" The woman's voice appeared once again. This time, it was so clear that it sounded as if she was right beside Su Ming's ears, causing more tears to fall from his eyes. The booming sounds in his head became stronger once again.
"Su … my Ming Er …" There was a gentleness in the voice, and there was a warmth that Su Ming was unfamiliar with. It was a mother's longing and care for her own flesh and blood.
"Don't be afraid. I'm here. Everything will be fine …
"I promise you that I will continue protecting you until your father and I grow old, until we no longer have the strength to accompany you to the end of your life …
"Yun Er, you have to be strong … Your great-grandfather was the one who gave you your name. He is also filled with hopes for you …
"No matter what happens, you have to remember that you are an Abyss Builder under the universe. You are a proud Abyss Builder … Your father is a powerful warrior who is said to be able to surpass your great-grandfather among the Abyss Builders, and I … come from Dark Dawn …"
The last few sentences did not echo in space, but echoed in Su Ming's soul. They did not come from the present, but from a scene in the past that Su Ming had already forgotten!
As of this moment, his mind felt like it was being torn apart, and his mind was reeling. All of these memories came flooding back to him. He remembered that back then, he had been surrounded by darkness, and he had felt very cold. His weak life force couldn't withstand the coldness, and yet there was that voice. Every time he was about to give up his life, that voice continued to encourage him, to let him hear it.
At that moment, he understood that at that time, he was still a baby in his mother's womb. After the Abyss Builders were exterminated, he was cursed and nearly died.
Vaguely, Su Ming seemed to see a picture. In that picture, the woman lying in the coffin stroked her swollen belly. There was a kind smile on her face, and tears that he could not see fell from her eyes. She was murmuring softly to the baby in her womb.
There was also a silent middle-aged man watching this scene quietly. He clenched his fists tightly, and his heart was filled with madness and grief. It was a flame that no one else could see through.
The picture changed. When it appeared in Su Ming's mind again, the galaxy had turned into True Morning Dao World. The middle-aged man hugged his wife and threw his head back to roar shrilly at the sky. His roar was filled with disappointment towards life, extreme pain that came from his soul, and … blood-red tears.
"Four Great True Worlds, you destroyed my entire race and even cursed a baby without sparing him. Now, you took away my wife's life as well. If that's the case … then what's the point of me still living?!
"I lost my home, I lost my lover, I lost my child … but now, I'm still alive, and the only reason I'm still alive is to overturn Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos!
"Not only will I make True Morning Dao World be built for Abyss, I will also make Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos … be built for Abyss!
"If my son doesn't die, then he will no longer be called Su Yun. He will be called Su Ming, and he will carve a script of Abyss that will make all the people in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos tremble!"
Su Ming lifted his head swiftly. His mind was torn apart amid the booming sounds. Memories rose in his head, and he remembered everything!
With tears falling from his eyes, Su Ming went to the altar and arrived beside the coffin. He stood there quietly and stared at his mother's face in the coffin. Su Ming shuddered and knelt down …
That face was unfamiliar, but also familiar. He could not tell what sort of thoughts he had at that moment. He only wanted to look at her quietly, just like how she was in the past. Even when she cried, she would still give him gentle encouragement. Just like how she was in the past, even if she had to close her eyes, she would still protect him.
This was his mother. This was his mother.
"Mother …" Su Ming mumbled. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
