"You don't want to give up, you don't want to leave me behind and live alone … then how can I let you risk everything for me and cut off the possibility of a future?!"
The madness of a life erupted from Su Ming's storage bag at that instant. With a bang, the storage bag opened on its own, and the bald crane instantly flew out. There was no longer a hint of filth on its face, nor was there any obsession towards crystals. Instead, it stared at Su Ming. There was a reluctance to part in its gaze, along with the friendship and companionship that had lasted for thousands of years.
"I … don't want to lose my memories again. I don't want to forget my home and my best friends once I lose them …" The bald crane sighed softly. Along with it flew out of the storage bag was a mangled corpse!
That corpse was the bald crane's physical body. It was a physical body that it had not wanted to fuse with in the past, because it knew that once it did so, it would perhaps forget its memories of this life. It would no longer be the bald crane, but an unfamiliar Kong Mo!
The unfamiliar Kong Mo would no longer possess the bald crane's personality. It would become a true stranger, which was why the bald crane did not want to fuse with it. It did not want to do so from the bottom of its heart, because it was very satisfied with its current form and its current life. In fact, it had a vague feeling that it was the happiest in its life as the bald crane.
Yet now, since Su Ming could do this for it, then the bald crane could also fuse with its physical body for Su Ming. It would not have Su Ming risk his life to Possess it, but would fight against Xuan Zang with its fused body and give Su Ming … a chance to leave this place!
"Su Ming, this is my choice!" The bald crane let out a low growl. At the instant Su Ming looked over, it chose to fuse with his physical body.
"If there comes a day when you still remember me … and I still remember you … I will come and search for you …"
Its physical body instantly fused with the bald crane. As its physical body squirmed, the bald crane let out a shrill scream of pain. As it screamed, its body was no longer bare, but was covered in black feathers. Its presence instantly increased exponentially, and once it reached an astonishing presence, a seven-colored light erupted from the bald crane's body.
"I like seven-colored light …" The bald crane threw its head back and let out a shrill roar. Its eyes instantly turned aloof, and its presence instantly turned cold. At that moment, it was no longer the bald crane, but Kong Mo!
"I am … Kong Mo!" The bald crane lifted its head and let out a shocking roar. With the remnant will in its head, it charged towards Xuan Zang's incoming right hand.
As it moved forward, its eyes instantly turned red, and a crazed aura erupted from it. Its roar shook the heavens and earth, and an ancient and indifferent voice came from it.
"I am not Kong Mo either … I am … the seventh Reversed Spirit!"
The same shade of red appeared in Su Ming's eyes. At that moment, he did not hesitate. His life started burning, and it was not just his body that was burning. His soul, his Dao Divinity, and his will were also burning!
"With my burning will, I will open the gate to the void in the world once more. I will form the river once more and name it the River of Forgetfulness. I will reconstruct the Expanse Cosmos and open up the void of another Expanse Cosmos!" Su Ming swung his arm. As his voice echoed in the air, with the burning of his life, he lifted his right hand and pointed at the space behind him. Su Ming's will erupted completely at that instant. When he pointed forward, a huge vortex appeared behind him. As it rotated with loud rumbles, a world was revealed!
Almost at the instant Su Ming's other world was reactivated, and even he did not know whether there was still a connection between it and the severed River of Forgetfulness, the bald crane's body crashed into Xuan Zang's palm.
Booming sounds instantly echoed in the vast universe. At the instant the palm froze, the bald crane let out a shrill scream of pain. Its body exploded with a bang, and as it was reduced to a bloody mess, it tumbled backwards, but at that moment, a dazzling light erupted from the seventh pearl on the palm. It turned into an astonishing suction force that enveloped the bloody and battered bald crane, intending to suck its body into the pearl.
Su Ming lifted his head and burned his entire body to its peak. With a single move, he instantly appeared beside the bald crane and grabbed its body to help it fight against the suction force, even if it instantly made Su Ming feel as if his entire body was about to be torn apart. A large number of cracks appeared on his skin, and blood filled his body. The intense pain caused the burning in his body to become even stronger!
But he still used his own body to fight against the suction force in place of the bald crane. With the will to bid farewell and a hint of reluctance to part, he no longer hesitated. He swiftly brought out his full strength and flung the bald crane towards the other world in the vortex he had activated!
With his own body, he fought against the suction force from the pearl and burned himself to release his strongest power at that moment to send his brothers, his friends, and the companion who had accompanied him for thousands of years to the other world!
The bald crane's eyes seemed to become clouded at that instant, as if its memories had become chaotic. It seemed to have remembered … some things from the past.
In those memories, there was a person smiling before it. He stretched out his hand before it, and he brought it through thousands of years and worlds.
'That person … What was his name..? I forgot … I can't remember it … Even his face has become indistinct … Who … am I..?' The bald crane's eyes gradually closed. As Su Ming burned everything in his life, he flung it into the vortex and into the other world.
'If there comes a day when you remember me and I remember you, I will come and search for you …' Su Ming watched the bald crane leave into the distance, watched its body disappear into the vortex, watched it disappear, and a smile appeared on his face.
He saw a black feather float out of the whirlpool after it disappeared. It landed in front of him and landed in his palm …
"Hmm? Why did I run into you again? Damn it, y-y-you … Why are you always following me? "
"Heh, let me tell you, your Grandpa Crane is amazing. Oh well, I won't make things difficult for you. Why aren't you leaving? Can't you sense my powerful presence?
"Crystals? Darn it all, I'm going to risk it all! I have so many crystals! I'm going to risk it all!
"Su Ming, damn it! You can't close your eyes! You can't die! You coward, you can't die!
"Su Ming … I want to cry …
Su Ming clenched his fist and held the feather in his palm. At that moment, his body was swiftly tumbling backwards due to the suction force, charging towards the gigantic palm.
Cracks started appearing on Su Ming's body during this process. His body gradually turned into a bloody mess, but resolve appeared in his eyes, along with a hint of madness that made it seem as if he did not care about the world. At the instant he closed in on the palm, even if his body was about to crumble, he still forced himself to turn around. When he saw the palm closing in on him endlessly, a resolve to live appeared in his eyes.
"Abyss Builder … Possession!"
Boom!
Su Ming's body shattered completely. As his flesh and blood splattered everywhere, the huge palm seized all traces of him. When the palm disappeared, the black-robed young man sitting on the Feng Shui compass lowered his hand with an apathetic expression on his face.
It was as if he had seen the bald crane leave, but not a single change in his emotions could be detected. It was as if … he had never possessed any emotions to begin with. Since the seventh Reversed Spirit was gone, then so be it.
He gradually lowered his head and closed his eyes, as if he had sunk into deep sleep. He simply allowed the Feng Shui compass to swim about in the vast universe, as if he did not know where it was headed.
Eventually, he fell into a deep slumber. No one noticed, nor was it possible for anyone to notice, that a black feather had appeared in the palm of his right hand.
His action of holding the feather was the exact same as Su Ming's action of holding his resolve.
