"When the wings overlap, the disaster will descend. Arid Triad's will will be in a state of deep sleep before waking up. It will be the moment when its will is at its most confused, and it will also be … the only chance for you to Possess it!
"I can't appear to help you. Unless you have already occupied most of Arid Triad's Expanse Cosmos and are just one step away from succeeding, I won't appear.
"But … I can open up all of Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos to you. You can train at will in my Expanse Cosmos … in fact, I can give you another True World's will so that you can Possess it!
"If that's the case, if you Possess another True World in Arid Triad, you will have four True Worlds, and you will have the right to Possess Arid Triad.
"I can also teach you … a divine ability that was Branded in my mind when I was born. It is known as Butterfly Metamorphosis. You've already learned a little about it. Once I teach you everything, you can execute this Art during the critical moment when you Possess Arid Triad …" Harmonious Morus Alba's indistinct voice was filled with excitement at that moment. When it echoed in space, it fell into Su Ming's ears, causing him to fall silent.
"Once you Possess me successfully, you will tear off my left wing. This will be the greatest help you can give me …"
Su Ming remained silent. Harmonious Morus Alba's excited voice slowly turned into a lingering echo as it echoed in space. The entire True World gradually sank into silence.
After a long while, a barely noticeable glint shone in Su Ming's eyes, and he asked faintly, "Aren't you worried that if I Possess Arid Triad successfully, I won't keep my promise?"
"Over the years that Arid Triad's will existed, I have sighed with emotion more than once. I wondered what would have happened if I had chosen to self-destruct resolutely one hundred years after I noticed that I was Possessed.
"It's a pity that even if there was a sliver of hope, I had to miss the chance and right to self-destruct. I could only hide in the years that followed and did not dare show myself.
"But … if someone Possessed Arid Triad or tried to Possess me, it would be the same as starting over. During the one hundred years after the Possession, I would still have one chance to self-destruct.
"The result … would be that I would not be able to return home and would disappear from then on, but the price would be that the person who Possessed Arid Triad and the two Great True Worlds would disappear without a trace," Harmonious Morus Alba's will said languidly after remaining silent for a moment.
"Helping me is also helping yourself. You are fighting for a limitless future and fortune for yourself!
"If you don't help me, I'll still exist, and I'll still hide. Perhaps after an unknown number of epochs pass, I'll be fused with you. However, during that process, you'll have to bear the pain of all your family and friends dying. Everyone you've known throughout one epoch after another will perish. As for you … you'll have to face the fact that you'll only wake up for two hundred years in each epoch. During the rest of the epoch, you'll fall into slumber. Furthermore … you'll grow weaker and weaker with each epoch.
You will find that living … is more painful than dying.
"Once I'm devoured, everything will be reopened, and you … will be buried in the past. In that reopening, you will be wiped away for all eternity."
"Similarly, if you chose to help Arid Triad, then … then you should know about the schemes between cultivators and how the strong prey on the weak. I don't need to tell you what will happen to you.
"If you choose to help me but go back on your word in the end or try to Possess me, you know very well what will happen to you … Unless you accept your fate … you have no other choice." The voice of Harmonious Morus Alba's will spread in all directions calmly, causing Su Ming's expression to turn even darker.
"No other choice?" Su Ming did not speak. In truth, Harmonious Morus Alba's will did not promise him anything, and neither did it give him much. It only promised that it would give him its left wing, but if Su Ming truly succeeded in Possessing Arid Triad, he would not need Harmonious Morus Alba to give him anything. It belonged to him to begin with, so there was no need for it to give him anything.
There was also the will of an Expanse Cosmos. With Su Ming's soul, he could Possess it. There might be some setbacks, but it was not a matter of giving him anything. It would just make it easier for Su Ming to Possess it.
There was also the Butterfly Metamorphosis. This was something Harmonious Morus Alba's will had to do for itself.
It could be said that the most direct method Harmonious Morus Alba's will used to help Su Ming was not to help him … but to tell him the truth in detail.
Harmonious Morus Alba's will told him everything without hiding too much. It allowed Su Ming to understand his situation, understand the various paths he could take in the future, and understand that working together would benefit both sides. That … was enough.
Su Ming was silent for a moment before he suddenly asked, "Then … what sort of existences are the Expanse Cosmoses formed by the 180 Expanse Cosmoses of Saint Defier and Dark Dawn beyond Arid Triad's gap? Could it be that there are other butterflies beside you?" This was his final question.
This question had always existed in his heart ever since he came to understand Harmonious Morus Alba. Su Ming had also noticed that there was a gap in Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos corresponding to Arid Triad's gap.
Then there should be Dark Dawn and Saint Defier beyond the gap as well!
"There are … no other butterflies. In this vast expanse, only I … My family is in a distant place … I stopped on the way to see the beauty of the vast expanse, but … I was practically made to stay here for all eternity. I can't search for my family, and I can't find them …" There was a melancholy in Harmonious Morus Alba's voice. As it lingered in the air, it sighed.
"As for Saint Defier and Dark Dawn you mentioned … the Expanse Cosmoses they are in are also true Expanse Cosmoses, but they are not beyond me. They are also on my wings," Harmonious Morus Alba said languidly after remaining silent for some time.
"This so-called gap … is not really a gap."
"I don't understand." Su Ming frowned. He was slightly confused by the words and could not understand the deeper meaning behind them. He still did not quite understand how Saint Defier and Dark Dawn beyond Arid Triad's gap could be on the butterfly's wings.
In fact, in Su Ming's mind, perhaps Saint Defier and Dark Dawn had been able to leave in the past … because Arid Triad's will had tacitly agreed to it. In fact … there was a high possibility that Arid Triad's gap had appeared only after Arid Triad had tacitly agreed to it.
And this … was something Su Ming could not understand. If Arid Triad and Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos were the butterfly's wings … then where were the Expanse Cosmoses where Dark Dawn and Saint Defier were?
"How many wings did my real body have when you saw it in my memories?" Harmonious Morus Alba's will asked calmly.
"Wings … Hmm?" Right when Su Ming spoke, his eyes focused, and his words came to an abrupt halt. A brilliant light shone in his eyes, and a loud bang rang out in his heart.
'It's not two wings … it's four wings!' The Harmonious Morus Alba he had seen previously immediately appeared in Su Ming's mind. It had two huge wings, but under them were two slightly smaller wings. However, they seemed to be connected to each other, and the frequency at which they flapped their wings was the same, which was why Su Ming had ignored their existence and treated them as a pair of wings that were one with the two huge wings!
But in truth, the butterfly did not have two wings … but four wings!
During that instant, Su Ming came to a swift understanding. One of the two wings was Arid Triad, and the other was Harmonious Morus Alba. As for the two smaller wings, one of them was Saint Defier and Dark Dawn, and the other … was the other wing connected to Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos!
"Then …" Su Ming's eyes sparkled. Just as he was about to speak, Harmonious Morus Alba's will spoke in a low voice.
"I know what you want to ask. You want to ask whether the two wings have wills … I told you before that Arid Triad is stronger than me, which is why he can take the initiative to search for me, and I have to avoid him.
"But you didn't ask me … why he is stronger than me.
"Because he has also Possessed my left wing, and when I … fought against Arid Triad, I had to give up on my right wing and shrink into the right wing's world." Harmonious Morus Alba's voice sounded like it was very far away in Su Ming's ears, because at that moment, the shock in Su Ming's heart was like a storm raging in it.
Only at that moment did he understand that the disaster that descended on Saint Defier and Dark Dawn was in truth … Arid Triad had tacitly agreed to it, because to Arid Triad, it did not matter whether it was Saint Defier or Dark Dawn, they were all one!
What was laughable was that Saint Defier and Dark Dawn did not know this at all. Perhaps some of them knew, but most of them had definitely never heard of it before. They thought that they had descended to invade Arid Triad, but in truth, they were one.
'Then why did Arid Triad do this?! Even if he was asleep, he wanted to push forward the development of this matter. His goal … was to find Harmonious Morus Alba, and there was no other reason!
'And what method did he use to find Harmonious Morus Alba by doing this?' Su Ming's eyes sparkled. During that instant, the question rose in his head, and his body shuddered!
'Arid Triad's gap and Harmonious Morus Alba's gap!
'Arid Triad, what a man. As expected of the strongest cultivator in the past Expanse Cosmos and the matchless person who could Possess Harmonious Morus Alba's will, this person's schemes are extraordinary. He did not aim for Arid Triad's gap, but used it … to form Harmonious Morus Alba's gap!
'With Dark Dawn and Saint Defier invading Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos, he formed … the invasion of the butterfly's right wing in Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos! 'It can be said that at the same time Dark Dawn and Saint Defier descended in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos, some life forms also descended through Harmonious Morus Alba's gap in Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos!' As Su Ming's heart trembled, Harmonious Morus Alba's sigh reached his ears.
"You should have guessed it. That's right, after you arrived and Harmonious Morus Alba's gap appeared in this place, I sensed … Arid Triad's presence coming from within. He … used this method to arrive.
"Next, he will make the disaster descend ahead of schedule. He will make the overlapping of the four wings appear ahead of schedule."
A brilliant light shone in Su Ming's eyes. At that moment, he did not know that before the old man from Heavenly Spirit Tribe died, he had already come to a clear understanding of what was going on.
He said that the disaster was about to arrive, and it was also true that … Arid Triad had already used Harmonious Morus Alba's gap to rush to Harmonious Morus Alba Expanse Cosmos!
'The second night watch will be late. This part of the plot is very crucial, and I need to write it carefully. Besides, my body has not recovered yet. If I don't rest in between, I won't be able to write the second night watch.
'That's why, allow me to rest for a day and try to adjust myself. Tomorrow, the third night watch, alright?
