It ended. The ferryman who had lived for one hundred and twenty years sent the familiar figures into the distance willingly with his head lowered and quietly watched them leave. This was Su Ming's choice for them. It was the first time, and it would also be the last time.
To Su Ming, the one hundred and twenty years of one hundred and twenty years were very long, but also very short. It was short because he had sent them away from the River of Forgetfulness, but it was long because he had no idea how much time had passed when he waited for them to meet again in the future.
Su Ming did not have the confidence either, which was why even though his hope was long, there would still be a time when it would end. It was just like the fireworks in the sky. They would only disappear for a short moment, but they would remain beautiful in the people's minds for a long time.
Su Ming's eyes gradually shone with the brightness they should have. Ninth Summit … was in silence. The one hundred thousand Berserkers had left, the one hundred thousand disciples of Ninth Summit had left, and even a large number of people had disappeared, causing the remaining people in Ninth Summit to sink into a daze.
"Ninth Summit, Arid … if you want to stay, you can continue staying. If you want to leave, you can do so at any time," Su Ming said slowly. Su Ming said languidly. His voice reverberated through the entire Ninth Summit at that instant and fell into the ears of all the disciples, causing them to snap out of their daze.
Su Ming closed his eyes. The bald crane stood by his side and stared at the familiar surroundings. It no longer felt too sad. With a single move, it disappeared to some unknown place. However, Su Ming, who knew the bald crane well, did not need to think to know what it was thinking at that moment.
"I'm rich! I'm rich! Haha! I'm really lucky this time. I sent away so many people, and when they leave, they definitely won't be able to take away a lot of crystals. Crystals, ah, especially other people's crystals!" The bald crane's face was filled with excitement. When it thought about this, it could not help but shudder, and it became even faster.
Su Ming did not bother about the bald crane's actions. He closed his eyes for twenty years … He sensed all of Arid Triad trembling and sensed the descent of the destructive disaster. At that moment, Harmonious Morus Alba's wings should have overlapped with each other, but in truth, they were just a tiny bit away.
That tiny bit was the final one hundred years. In fact, Su Ming could sense True Immortal Sect World's existence in True Morning Dao World and Harmonious Morus Alba's presence in the other Expanse Cosmoses in Arid Triad.
The two great worlds were about to overlap.
During the twenty years Su Ming returned to Ninth Summit and closed his eyes, most of the cultivators in the sect had already left. Most of the people who remained were old and did not have high levels of cultivation. These people no longer had the ambition to join a great sect. They only wished for peace.
As for the others, the direct descendants of the ninth summit had already been chosen by Hu Zi, and the remaining people were the icing on the cake. Now that the cake was gone, the flowers would naturally continue to bloom elsewhere.
Twenty years later, the final one hundred years before the disaster descended, the powerful warriors of the previous aeons began to awaken. The first to awaken was the person who had fought against Su Ming in the capital planet of the Emperor of Abyss' True World. Soon after, an astonishing presence erupted from quite a number of places in Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos.
Quite a number of these presences spread out from the Emperor of Abyss' True World, True Sacred Yin World, the Fourth True World, and Divine Essence Star Ocean, but most of them were in the Expanse Cosmos where Harmonious Morus Alba's fourth wing was. Gradually, powerful warriors began to walk through the galaxy, and gradually, bloody battles and the oppression of an aeon erupted during the one hundred years.
In truth, this was also a disaster, but it was a temporary release before all lives were destroyed.
At the same time, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors led by Di Tian opened their eyes in Yin Death Vortex. At the instant the one hundred years arrived, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors opened their eyes.
"It's time. The one hundred years have finally arrived …" Low murmurs echoed in the Expanse Cosmoses in Yin Death Vortex. There were also broken, excited laughter and roars echoing in space.
Everyone's blood before Arid Triad's disaster …
Su Ming sighed softly and averted his gaze from Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos. He did not pay attention to anything in the world outside. It did not matter whether it was Di Tian or Su Xuan Yi. At that moment, Su Ming did not want to bother with them. Even if the powerful warriors from the previous aeons had thrown the entire universe into chaos, it was still a part of the laws. It was also something that should have happened before Harmonious Morus Alba's four wings overlapped.
However … Ninth Summit was a forbidden area. If anyone dared to take even half a step into it, then even if that person was a powerful warrior from the previous aeons who claimed to be indestructible, they would still end up in Su Ming's place and learn just how brilliant the disaster of life was.
Su Ming had killed far too many people. So what if they were powerful warriors from the previous aeons …?
The only thing he remembered was the one hundred thousand cultivators who were trapped in Ecang's world in Divine Essence Star Ocean.
He had promised those one hundred thousand cultivators that one day, he would bring them out, and Su Ming would fulfill his promise.
"Should I return to Divine Essence Star Ocean again?" Su Ming looked at the bald crane, who was counting crystals by the side.
The bald crane lifted its head. After thinking about it carefully, it said seriously, "I've already taken away all the crystals there. It's already clean."
Su Ming smiled.
"Alright, then you stay here." When Su Ming shook his head, he closed his eyes. At the instant he did so, a figure appeared in the galaxy in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence, a place where the spiritual aura in the world was incredibly lacking. That figure was naturally Su Ming.
Su Ming stared at the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. He was familiar with everything there. He had been in this place for many years, and at that moment, when he thought about it, be it the time he was chased down or the time he was weak, all of them were filled with signs that had been carved into him. Clearly, at that time, he had been in Su Xuan Yi's hands, and all his paths had been arranged for him so that he could obtain nourishment from the Seed of Life Extermination.
However, when he turned his head around to look at it, the grudge and hatred in the past had already faded away. With a calm expression, Su Ming walked through the galaxy. When he approached the spot where Ecang had once been, his footsteps came to a halt. As if he had sensed something, he looked into the distance. There was a cultivation planet in the galaxy that was not too far away. There was a young man on it, and he was sitting cross-legged at the top of a mountain while exercising his breathing and meditating.
As he breathed, the ferocious shadow of a big tree appeared behind him. It was … Ecang.
The wisp of soul that had escaped from Su Ming's hands in the past had gathered together to form Ecang. Su Ming stared at it, but it did not know any of this. It continued meditating, occasionally opening its eyes to look around it cautiously. Aloofness and a dark shadow would often flash in its eyes, causing it to look incredibly sullen.
This suited Ecang's habits. Clearly, over the years, it had learned quite a lot of cultivators' caution and cunning, which was why it could survive for so long in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence.
Perhaps it had always been on guard against Su Ming. After all, to it, Su Ming's existence was a shadow that it had to fear for its entire life. It was afraid of Su Ming, but it also longed to devour him so that it could complete itself.
If it had been in the past, Su Ming would have had no reason to let this person go once he saw him, but right then, he only cast him a glance before averting his gaze. The difference in their levels and the difference in their worlds caused their enmity to turn into a fight between children.
Su Ming did not bother with Ecang's figure that had gathered together again. He arrived in the one hundred thousand Ecang worlds in the past.
Almost at the instant Su Ming stepped into the world, all the stone monuments in the one hundred thousand Ecang worlds shuddered with a bang. As they did so, all the people sitting and meditating in the world lifted their heads at the same time. Shock appeared on their faces. Even the cultivators who were immersed in the worlds formed by their memories were forcefully chased out. When they lifted their heads in shock, the one hundred thousand people in the world … saw Su Ming walking over from above them.
Some of them still remembered Su Ming, some had already forgotten him, and there were also some who had not experienced the shock they felt when Su Ming appeared in the past. At that moment, they had dazed expressions on their faces.
"This place has existed for too long. I once promised all of you that there would come a day when the seal on this place would be broken. Today, I have come, and I will break the seal on this place. I will release your shackles and return your souls to you. From now on … all of you … will be free!" Su Ming swept his gaze past the crowd and stopped for a moment on a few familiar faces. In the end, his gaze landed on the middle-aged man who had helped him in the past.
At first glance, he seemed to be middle-aged, but if anyone took a closer look, they would find that he was already old. His wife's passing had perhaps become an eternal pain in his heart. He could have left in the past, but he could not bear to do so. Instead, he immersed himself in his memories to accompany his wife.
As Su Ming spoke, the world with the one hundred thousand stone monuments let out a loud bang. The stone monuments shattered one by one, and the space at the edge of the area shattered layer by layer. In just the span of a few breaths, only one stone monument was left standing in front of the middle-aged man.
"Only you have the right to shatter this stone monument. I … will not interfere with your choice." Su Ming cast a deep glance at the middle-aged man. When he turned around, he swept his gaze past the crowd. He did not see joy, but a deeper sense of bewilderment. It was as if these people could not get used to this change.
But in the end, they would get used to it. Su Ming cast a glance at the world with the one hundred thousand stone monuments again. He remembered Sui Chen Zi and shook his head. When Su Ming turned around, he had already stepped into space.
He had come to the Barren Lands of Divine Essence to break the seal on the world within the one hundred thousand stone monuments. He also wanted to go to Husband Gazing Mountain to take a look at the figure at the top of the mountain. He also wanted to fulfill the wish of the Sand Earthlings … and go to Black Ink Planet … as well as send Tian Xie Zi's disciple in name to the other side of the river.
If it was possible, Su Ming also wanted to go to the fifth ocean and see whether the entrance to the Fifth True World truly existed there. He wanted to go there and take a look … at the place where Su Zhan had died and the region where his soul had been gathered by Su Xuan Yi.
"One hundred years is enough," Su Ming mumbled softly and walked into the distance.
At that moment, a bloody storm that had swept through numerous tribes in Divine Essence Star Ocean continued. It was a withered old man who had a skeleton stuck to his back. His expression was apathetic, and wherever he went, there would be slaughter.
Since the sword was going to be unsheathed in November, then he would have to fight for a month. Tomorrow, he would have to continue fighting. 'Do you have monthly votes?
He wrapped his fist in his palm and bowed.
