"He didn't die, but all Harmonious Morus Alba in the vast universe will be destroyed … This is a predestined fate!" The butterfly that was Harmonious Morus Alba shuddered, and madness appeared on its face. It understood why it could no longer sense the other Harmonious Morus Alba's presences. It thought that it had lost this ability after being Possessed.
It had even dreamed of snatching its other half back so that it would be complete. Then, it would spread its wings and search for them in the vast universe. It would search for its family and home.
Yet now, it completely understood that it was not that it had lost its ability to sense … but that most of the other Harmonious Morus Albas had been wiped off due to their predestined fate, and it …
"Just … how long have I been resting here?" In anguish, Harmonious Morus Alba sensed itself rapidly weakening. The speed at which it weakened caused it to feel as if it had lost nearly three-tenths of its will. It knew that it would first weaken, and when its will disappeared, Arid Triad would die, but it laughed madly. There was a forlorn, shrill tone to its ancient laughter, along with a hatred that surpassed all other emotions. It did not hate the source of the presence, but Arid Triad, who had Possessed it!
"Even if I am destined to be wiped off … I will watch you die with my own eyes!" Arid Triad immediately noticed Harmonious Morus Alba's rapid weakening, and Su Ming noticed it as well. Compared to Arid Triad pouncing on Harmonious Morus Alba without hesitation, Su Ming's heart trembled. He had a vague idea of what was going on.
At that moment …
"Su Ming, you have to help even if you don't want to … you still have to help! Because only when Arid Triad dies will you have enough time to send your family back to the other world.
"If Arid Triad doesn't die, then his existence will be the same as closing all the entrances leading to the void. Unless you replace him, it will be impossible for you to send your people from the Ninth Summit out again!
"You don't dare take the risk! And I can also tell you that the world you opened with your will exists! " There was a ferocious tone to Harmonious Morus Alba's shrill voice. At the instant its words echoed in space, the Expanse Cosmos above Arid Triad Expanse Cosmos sank, and a huge vortex appeared in the void.
The vortex flowed in reverse, and Su Ming could see the River of Forgetfulness in it. The river … was also flowing in reverse. Gradually, he could see some figures on the other side of the river, and they were people Su Ming was familiar with …
Their bodies seemed to be dragged by an indescribable power, as if they were about to be dragged out from the passage of time!
Su Ming had once seen the River of Forgetfulness flowing in reverse, and it was not a figment of his imagination. It was real, and it was a taboo for him. When he did not find any traces of Old Man Extermination interfering with his search, he could not think of who could have done so.
At that moment, Su Ming understood that the one who had interfered with all of this was Harmonious Morus Alba! This was its method to keep Su Ming in check. If Su Ming did not cooperate with it, then it could keep him in check. Even if Su Ming went back on his word in the beginning and worked together with Arid Triad, since Harmonious Morus Alba dared to show up, it was clear that it had absolute confidence in its ability to do so.
Su Ming was silent. He stared at the familiar faces in the vortex outside, and killing intent that had never appeared before slowly appeared in his eyes. This was his taboo, and Harmonious Morus Alba … had touched his taboo!
"You're wrong." When Su Ming spoke, the butterfly disappeared and turned back into Su Ming. He charged towards Harmonious Morus Alba. By his side, Arid Triad laughed loudly. The white butterfly turned into a white whirlwind, and as it charged forward, it looked like it was about to drown Harmonious Morus Alba.
"It's too late. Their return is a fate you won't be able to stop. Only by Possessing Arid Triad can you send them back!" As Harmonious Morus Alba laughed shrilly, the speed at which the River of Forgetfulness flowed in reverse in the vortex instantly increased by one hundred times. All the people on the riverbank shuddered, and they were all dragged to the River of Forgetfulness. They were about to reach the other side of the river.
At that moment, nine blood-red runic symbols appeared on the riverbank. They shone and turned into a layer of blood fog. They turned into a barrier that blocked the passage of time, causing the vortex to look like it was about to close up.
This scene stunned Harmonious Morus Alba. At that moment, Su Ming charged towards it with killing intent that had touched Harmonious Morus Alba's bottom line. He knew very well that his act of sealing the River of Forgetfulness could only last for a short period of time. He had to rush out of the place at the fastest speed possible and send all the people from Ninth Summit who had been dragged into the River of Forgetfulness back into that world.
And if he wanted to rush out, he had to first suppress Harmonious Morus Alba and have Arid Triad Possess it. Only by doing so would Arid Triad have no time to destroy it. When these thoughts appeared in Su Ming's mind, he had already closed in on Harmonious Morus Alba.
'I still have time!' Red appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He was not as calm as he appeared to be. His heart was in pain, and his mind was trembling. The scene in the secrets of the universe seemed to have become a shadow in his heart, a brand that could not be wiped off.
Over there were the people he cared about the most in his life. Over there was his greatest reluctance to part with them. He did not want the scene in the secrets of the universe to become real. He did not want to lose everything and become a lonely person!
Even if he was alone at that moment, he still had dreams in his heart, expectations, and a persistent pursuit. That pursuit was that one day, he would be able to search for Ninth Summit. He would be able to find them, and he would be able to continue living in that world!
More red appeared in Su Ming's eyes. His madness brought with it his speed. At the instant he rushed towards Harmonious Morus Alba, the strongest will in his life erupted from his body. It was the strongest strike he had gathered together the four Great True Worlds, his soul, and his life!
He had executed this attack in front of the black-robed young man when he was in the passage of time, and he had also executed it against Arid Triad in the flesh tunnel. At that moment … Su Ming's will of Dao Divinity was added to it!
The strongest strike that contained a hint of Boundless Dao Realm's presence erupted at that instant as if his life was blooming. With his body as a sword and his will as a blade, he instantly closed in on Harmonious Morus Alba. As Harmonious Morus Alba rapidly weakened, a loud bang that shook the sky and earth reverberated through all of Harmonious Morus Alba's Expanse Cosmos. It even spread out and echoed in the Vast Expanse, causing the black-robed young man on the Feng Shui compass to lower his head slightly and cast it a glance.
Amid the booming sounds, Harmonious Morus Alba's body was pierced by Su Ming. Arid Triad followed closely behind him. With the desire he had accumulated for countless years, a determined madness, and shock towards Su Ming's strongest strike, once Harmonious Morus Alba's body withstood Su Ming's strike, he turned into an endless white gust of wind that instantly enveloped Harmonious Morus Alba.
Harmonious Morus Alba let out a shrill cry. The devouring that Arid Triad had longed for for countless aeons … was completely carried out at that instant!
Harmonious Morus Alba had miscalculated Su Ming's decision. It thought that it could use this method to keep Su Ming in check, but it did not expect that Su Ming would never submit, especially when his reverse scale was touched. He would either erupt in silence, or … he would choose to die in silence.
There was no third choice. There was no compromise!
The price it paid for its miscalculation was speeding up its own death. It was the one who helped Arid Triad achieve his goal. It was the one who could no longer see Arid Triad's destruction. The only thing it could see was Arid Triad devouring it in the end and completing the Expanse Cosmos!
At that moment, Su Ming did not bother about Arid Triad devouring Harmonious Morus Alba. He rushed out and instantly appeared in front of the vortex. At that moment, the blood-red seal Su Ming had placed in the vortex was starting to weaken, as if it could no longer stop Harmonious Morus Alba's will from pulling at it and reversing the flow of time. In fact, Su Ming could see the dazed faces of all the people he had sent away from Ninth Summit behind the thin blood fog.
Su Ming's heart ached even more. He swiftly lifted his right hand, intending to execute his divine ability again. At the instant Arid Triad devoured Harmonious Morus Alba, he would tear through space again so that the people of Ninth Summit could return to the other side of the river. He would make the scene of the secrets of the universe become something that should never have happened!
However … there were times when the change of fate could be completed, but there were also times when the change of fate … was right in front of you, but even if you used all your strength, you could not touch it …
Time flowed like water, and life was like a dream. If you asked yourself how long life was, why did it always go from winter to summer, and why did it have to go from the night drum to the morning bell? Who sighed during the past four seasons? How many joys and sorrows were there in the ringing of the bell?
Who was it that made flowers bloom and wilt with a flick of their fingers? The moon became full and waned? When you lowered your head to look at the candlelight, did you see the lights of tens of thousands of houses … or did you see the flourishing and flourishing life gradually fade into the distance?
Only some of the wrinkles of memories were left. They were crushed by the light dust of time.
Perhaps this was Dao.
It was also a shrill, forlorn laughter when the world was destroyed. The messy long hair and the strange purple hue seemed to have turned into tears in the heart. They were the color of blood, but if darkness fused with it, it would turn into … a color that people knew but did not know its meaning. It was … purple.
Purple was the fusion of blood and darkness. It was the shrill cries of blood and the crazed gathering of darkness to turn into a death that no one could ever touch … It dyed the heart purple, and once it dyed the blood in darkness, it turned into a terrifying purple that no one could understand!
Under the long purple hair and purple eyes, it turned into a lone boat that walked alone in the River of Forgetfulness.
Under the moonlight, when people looked at it, they would find … that the lonely figure sitting on the boat had long since disappeared.
Only the reflection in the river still had a vague image. He still remembered … the ferryman who wore a bamboo hat and a straw raincoat.
Su Ming's Dao was originally moving from midwinter to spring. He had already walked to autumn … and he was originally moving from death to life. He had already walked to the point where he could open his eyes, but at that instant … his Dao changed.
'Since spring is no longer around, why should I chase after waking up? I am willing to search for the shattered figure who will stay by my side in the darkness.
'Since the world I see when I open my eyes is so sad, I would rather close my eyes forever. What will bloom before my eyes will be endless darkness. I will bring this darkness to the world and give it to all lives. This … might be my Dao!'
