By the time he returned home, the sky was already bright. Stepping into the familiar house, he could no longer feel the warmth of home. All his thoughts were firmly tied to Ningxue and Oculum, who were far away.
"Daddy, Big Brother, he … he …" Little Mo, who had lost her family again, cried bitterly the entire way. Ye Wuchen stroked her hair and softly said, "Little Mo, don't cry … Even without Big Brother, you still have Daddy and your birth parents."
"Then …" Little Mo raised her head and looked into his eyes with teary eyes. "Daddy, will you never leave me?"
Ye Wuchen was silent. Looking into her watery eyes, he lowered his head and said softly with a smile, "When I come back, I will never leave you, Little Mo."
"When you come back …" Little Mo softly muttered these few words. Her heart ached so much that she forgot to cry. "Daddy, when are you leaving …"
She knew that her daddy would definitely disregard everything and go to the Godly Mainland. She would not stop him because she knew that there was no power in this world that could stop him from making this decision.
"Today." That was Ye Wuchen's answer. However, this answer did not surprise Little Mo at all.
"Then, Daddy, can I go with you?" she begged.
Ye Wuchen looked at her and smiled as he shook his head. "You have more important things to do … That is to wait for me to come back. I hope that when I come back, the first thing I want to see is my Little Mo."
"Yes." No matter how much she longed for it, she did not argue. After spending so much time with him, she already understood him well enough. She knew that whatever he decided, it would be that way. She also knew that even if she went with him, she would only be a burden to him.
"Daddy, I know that no matter who tries to persuade you, you will go … I won't try to persuade you, and I won't secretly follow you … But Daddy, you must remember this … If something happens to you, I am willing to die … on the same day as you!"
She was a demon, but she had a purer and more stubborn love than an ordinary girl. In fact, she knew better than anyone else that Ye Wuchen had almost no chance of survival. He wasn't going to have fun. He was going to make the entire Godly Continent his enemy. He was going to steal their most important "sacrifice" from their hands. That was something that even the entire Demonic Continent could not do.
"Silly Little Mo." Ye Wuchen patted her face and raised his head to look at the distant unknown sky. If he chose to forget and abandon Ningxue and Oculum, he would be free and unfettered, and everyone around him would be at peace … But he couldn't do it. Even if thousands of knives were placed on his neck, he couldn't do it. However, if he were to head to the Godly Mainland now, it would be almost impossible for him to return alive. At that time, not only would he not be able to save Ningxue and Oculum, but he would also implicate everyone around him, making them suffer for the rest of their lives. In the eyes of outsiders, this was a simple choice, but he resolutely chose the latter … All for his slim hope and his complete heart.
"Daddy, if one day, I was also taken away by bad people, would daddy still be this anxious?" Little Mo asked in a very small voice.
Ye Wuchen recovered from his melancholy and said with a smile: "Of course, because you are my daughter."
"En." This kind of answer made her giggle foolishly.
On this day, the Yeh family was excessively quiet. It was also on this day that Ye Wuchen left the Yeh family without saying goodbye to anyone. It was also on this day that too many people from all over the world received Ye Wuchen's letter. He didn't have the face to face them, and he didn't want to see their tears … No matter what choice he made, he would still be selfish.
Hua Shuirou: Rourou, my good wife, I'm leaving. This time, I might be gone for a very long time. I don't know when I will be back, maybe next month, or maybe … My Little Rourou already has a few white hairs, but I know that no matter how long I selfishly leave, my Rourou will wait for me. To be able to marry you as my wife is the greatest blessing of my life. If there is an afterlife, I will still disregard everything to find you and make you my wife for the rest of my life … I'm leaving. Think of me every day like before, make clothes for me, and wait for me with a smile, okay? My biggest wish is to see my Rourou waiting for me with a smile on the day I come back — your husband, Ye Wuchen.
Long Huang 'er: Phoenix, my empress wife, I'm going to leave quietly like four years ago … Last time was three years, this time, I don't know how long it will take, but I can guarantee that this will be the last time I leave secretly. Be good and wait for me to come back, then we will never be separated again … When I'm not here, be good and take care of yourself. If I come back and see that you have become thinner again, I will take off your phoenix robe and spank your butt …
Ye Shuiyao: Sister, I'm leaving, and I'm secretly taking away a pair of twin lotus flowers that you have been drawing every day. When I come back, we will be a pair of twin white lotuses on that drawing, and then the whole world will know that you are Ye Wuchen's wife. 'Are you willing to wait for that day with a smile on your face?'
Zhuge Xiaoyu: Xiao Yu, I've always made you wait time and time again. Your infatuation, your foolishness, your intelligence, your willfulness, your cuteness, your stubbornness … All of them are so attractive to me. That year, when you, who never cried, shed tears for me, I had already decided to hold onto you for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect that I would make you wait for me for so many years … Then, are you willing to wait one last time for me? 'Wait for me … Wait for the day I come back, and you will be Ye Wuchen's wife …'
'Xue Feiyan …
'Yan Gongyue …
'Yan Gongyue …'
'Father, mother, grandfather …'
All the people he cared about, after they left, he left them with his final words. He did not give them a time for him to come back, but all of them gave them great hope. Even if he never came back, they would hold onto that hope and continue waiting …
Evil Sect, Nanhuangzong, Northern Emperor Sect … He used the same method to make all sorts of arrangements. That way, even if he did not return for decades, the continent would not fall into chaos because of them.
He stood high up in the sky and cast one last glance at Heavenly Dragon City. Then, he turned his head and disappeared into the sky. Before he brought back Ningxue and Oculum, he would never come back. Perhaps this was the last time he could look down on Heavenly Dragon City. In that glance just now, he seemed to be able to see Little Mo waiting anxiously, as well as their heartbroken tears. His choice was too cruel to them. But this was a fate he could not escape from.
Yellow sand filled the air, and he came to the west of Tianchen Continent. Last night, he had already sensed the message from Little Black Tortoise, who was thousands of miles away. It had finally responded.
Little Black Tortoise was indeed waiting for him … But at that moment, Little Black Tortoise could no longer be called Little Black Tortoise. When Ye Wuchen appeared here, he saw a huge yellow tortoise that was hundreds of meters long. It lay in the sea of sand like a protruding boulder. When it sensed Ye Wuchen's approach, the "boulder" stretched out its long neck and opened its mouth at Ye Wuchen, who was in the air, and let out an excited hiss.
Little Black Tortoise had finally matured … It was supposed to be an infant of thirty million years, but with the great power of the Brilliant Earth Pearl, it had been shortened to just half a year. What a terrifying difference this represented. Ye Wuchen smiled in a barely noticeable manner, but at the same time, he frowned slightly. Little Black Tortoise might share a certain level of mental connection with him because of his blood, but it was still the highest sacred god of the elements. It could never recognize a master, so he could not recall it into his body like he did with Xiangxiang Xiang. In the past, Little Black Tortoise was only a dozen or so meters long at its largest. Now that it was a hundred meters long, how was he going to keep it by his side?
Little Black Tortoise, who had been shouting excitedly for a long time, seemed to have seen through Ye Wuchen's doubts. Its small eyes flashed, and its long snake neck suddenly retracted. Its huge body suddenly shrunk rapidly in a ball of yellow light. It shrunk again and again, until it was hard to see, as if the protruding boulder was slowly sinking into the sea of sand. Then, a ray of yellow light shot into the sky and landed in Ye Wuchen's hand. It had already turned into a palm-sized Black Tortoise, and between its short limbs, it was holding a yellow pearl tightly.
The matured Black Tortoise could change its body size at will within a certain range. Ye Wuchen was finally at ease. He lightly patted the Black Tortoise's back, and Wuchen's power quietly surged in. Then, his whole body trembled slightly.
This power …
Could it be …
That terrifying density of power and even more terrifying strength. He had only felt this level of power from Ye Ming. Could it be that Black Tortoise had already …
It had only been half a year! Even in the Godly Continent, there were only three people who could cross the Godly Continent, and it … had actually achieved it in just half a year!
He held onto the Black Tortoise tightly, not worried that it would be broken by him. With the Black Tortoise's defense, even if it lay there without moving, he would not be able to hurt it even if he hit it for three days and three nights. With the Black Tortoise, he had a greater chance of saving Ningxue and Oculum. That hope did not seem so remote anymore.
Taking down the yellow pearl that it was hugging tightly, Ye Wuchen suddenly felt that something was missing. He frowned and shouted at the Brilliant Earth Pearl, "Are you still there?"
… …
"Can you hear my voice?"
… …
Ye Wuchen tried twice, but he did not hear a reply from the Brilliant Earth Pearl. He thought for a moment, then kept it in the God of Swords Ring. Holding onto the Black Tortoise tightly, he said in a low voice, "We should go … to a place that we must go."
The consciousness of the Brilliant Earth Pearl disappeared … The power that the Black Tortoise needed to grow was too great, and the power that the Brilliant Earth Pearl overflowed was far from enough. Hence, its body began to absorb the origin power of the Brilliant Earth Pearl, and the powerless Brilliant Earth Pearl also lost its consciousness due to its power being deprived. The consciousness that had existed for an unknown number of years disappeared just like that because of the Black Tortoise. The Brilliant Earth Pearl could only let out a helpless and relieved sigh at the moment when its consciousness completely dissipated.
After the Black Tortoise grew up, a small half of the power in the Brilliant Earth Pearl was also absorbed. The remaining power was still no less than any other Chaos Saint Pearl. But after growing up, the power of the earth had reached saturation, and the Black Tortoise could no longer actively absorb it. It automatically spat out the Brilliant Earth Pearl. The Black Tortoise that originally needed thirty million years to mature was fulfilled by the Brilliant Earth Pearl just like that.
