By the time Chu Mo woke up, he had successfully passed the second Heavenly Tribulation.
Then, Chu Mo quietly stood in the boundless darkness of the thirty-third level of Heaven, pondering. Two Heavenly Tribulations, one Samsara, one Karma. Both had given him enormous enlightenment. This sort of feeling was extremely profound and indescribable.
However, Chu Mo's cultivation had increased by a large margin.
His eyes exploded with the boundless light of Samsara and the light of Karma. The two lights intertwined and reflected off each other.
They were like two beams of divine light. Wherever he looked, the relationship between reincarnation and karma would be directly seen by him.
"Is this the power of a god?" Chu Mo wondered to himself.
This was because a Martial Ancestor did not possess this sort of ability. He had never heard of a Realm Lord or Heaven Lord having this sort of ability. Perhaps he did not know, but this sort of ability was truly heaven-defying. One could see the true origins of an opponent at a glance!
For example, in the past, even the AI itself had not been able to see through its own origins. It had been completely blank and muddled.
But now, under Chu Mo's gaze, the AI's origins became clear. Although only a corner of it had been revealed, it was enough to show that it was a runic lifeform.
In addition, regarding the ultimate question — where did I come from and where am I going?
Chu Mo now discovered that he could come up with an answer. Although this answer might not be correct and might be worlds apart from the truth, at the very least, he could come up with an answer. To the countless living beings, this was already an incredible accomplishment!
Chu Mo was waiting for the arrival of the third Heavenly Tribulation.
This was because he did not believe that there were only two Heavenly Tribulations.
If the first two were Samsara and Karma, then what would the third Heavenly Tribulation be?
Suddenly, a thin bolt of lightning shot towards Chu Mo from the endless nothingness high up in the sky.
Slow was only a relative term. In Chu Mo's eyes, it was naturally slow, so slow that Chu Mo had a hundred ways to evade it in an instant. But to the countless other living beings, this bolt of lightning was equally terrifying!
This lightning bolt was different from the previous two. It was black!
Black as ink!
Wherever it passed, even light was absorbed by it. Then, a thin black line appeared in the deep void.
This time, Chu Mo did not resist either.
He allowed the black lightning to enter his body.
This kind of Heavenly Tribulation was not something that could be avoided. Although Chu Mo had never heard of a Heavenly Tribulation related to it, he had never experienced it. But the Pangu inheritance and his own heart told him that he couldn't avoid this heavenly tribulation!
As soon as the black lightning entered his body, Chu Mo's body stiffened.
Then, a look of confusion appeared in Chu Mo's eyes. Then, a ferocious look appeared on his face.
But no one could see the change in Chu Mo. Otherwise, those who were familiar with him would be frightened. Such a ferocious look had never appeared on his face before.
This time, Chu Mo was brought into an unfamiliar environment.
The moment he opened his eyes, all his memories were sealed once again.
He only knew that his name was Chu Mo, and he was the only son of a general.
This general was called Chu Tianji, and he was a great general of Da Xia. He held great power in his hands and grew up with the emperor. They were very close. Therefore, in Da Xia, he could be said to be second only to the emperor and above tens of thousands. He had unimaginable power.
But as the only son of the general, Chu Mo was a good-for-nothing who couldn't practice martial arts.
His meridians were blocked, his body was weak, and he was ugly. He had no resemblance to his valiant father, Chu Tianji, or his beautiful mother, Ji Qingyu!
As a result, many people secretly cursed that this young master of the Chu family was most likely adopted because Chu Tianji and Ji Qingyu were infertile.
But many people didn't agree. They thought that since it was adopted, why couldn't they adopt a child with thick eyebrows and big eyes, or a delicate and pretty face? Why did they adopt an ugly ghost?
So, young master Chu Mo was definitely Chu Tianji's son. But why was he so ugly, his body so weak, and why couldn't he practice martial arts? Most likely, it had something to do with General Chu Tianji's killing too many people!
"This is retribution!"
"To us, General Chu is our military god, our protector. But to the enemy, he is a true god of death, a demon-like existence. The people of our country naturally wouldn't curse General Chu, but the enemy would! "
"It's a pity that General Chu is an outstanding man, and Ji Qingyu is so beautiful. It's a pity that their child is so flawed. What a pity!"
"Why can't they have more children?"
"Either they can't, or … maybe they don't want their good-for-nothing son to feel uncomfortable?"
"Sigh, he's already a good-for-nothing, why care about his feelings?"
Almost everyone in the capital had the same opinion — they sympathized with Chu Tianji and Ji Qingyu, and thought that their son, Chu Mo, was a good-for-nothing.
Humans are born kind.
The innocent young Chu Mo was in the midst of this discussion. He gradually grew up. When he began to understand beauty and ugliness, and began to feel shame, his originally cheerful personality gradually changed. He became a little quiet, a little unwilling to meet people.
Even though Chu Tianji and Ji Qingyu often counseled him that beauty and ugliness were not determined by appearance alone. If one's heart was kind, ugliness was also beauty; if one was evil, beauty was also ugliness. But this didn't have much effect on a child. Because no matter where he went, Chu Mo always felt that the world was full of malice towards him.
When he was in his teens, the emperor was in a good mood at a royal banquet and drank a few more cups of wine. At the same time, his heart ached for his good brother's son, so he half-jokingly asked Chu Mo to choose a princess who was about his age. Then he decided on the marriage on the spot.
Originally, Chu Mo didn't have much of a presence at the banquet. He had no friends since he was a child. Because of his ugly appearance, he couldn't cultivate, and his weak physique, he had to hire a teacher to teach him at home.
He had no classmates, no friends. Anyone who saw him and walked away expressionlessly was already giving him face.
This royal banquet was also because the emperor had ordered that all civil and military officials must bring their families to attend. Because of this, Chu Mo had no choice but to brace himself and come here.
No one would have thought that the emperor would make such a decision when he was in a good mood.
He was already in his teens, and after reading the classics, he was actually very intelligent. Although the heavens didn't give him a good body or a good appearance, they gave him a very intelligent mind.
Chu Mo was very intelligent, and could even be said to be extremely intelligent. At the same time, he was also very sensitive to the emotions of the people around him and had a very clear understanding of them.
He could completely feel that after the emperor's words, the atmosphere in the banquet hall instantly became very awkward.
Especially those royal princesses who were originally smiling like flowers, those who were about his age, after hearing the emperor's words, all turned pale with fright, as if they had seen a ghost. Some of the smarter ones reacted quickly and hid immediately.
Those royal princesses who could not hide in time or had no way to hide lowered their heads. They did not want Chu Mo to see their faces, for fear that Chu Mo would choose them.
They did not dare to, and could not, defy the emperor's order, so they could only use this method to show their silent resistance.
The other civil and military officials were all astute and cunning people. They all wore kind smiles on their faces as they watched the scene unfold.
Nothing could be seen from their faces. Those who did not know better would think that they were giving their blessings.
As for the families of the civil and military officials, all of them lowered their heads, wanting to laugh but not daring to. To them, it would be a miracle if anyone was willing to marry Chu Mo!
The Chu Family was indeed very powerful and prestigious, to the extent that it was top-notch. But these clans weren't bad either!
If it was an ordinary minor official, he would be more than happy to marry his daughter to Chu Mo. Even if he was ugly, even if his body was weak and he didn't have long to live, it didn't matter. As long as he could be related to the Chu clan, it was enough.
But they did not need this!
They did not want their daughters to marry such a person. Their daughters would also not want to have anything to do with Chu Mo.
The Emperor's sudden suggestion put Chu Tianji and Ji Qingyu in an awkward position. They could not reject it directly. Because it would be very hurtful. Not only would it not give the Emperor any face, it would also hurt their son's pride.
The Emperor had sobered up a little by now. He was filled with regret. He did not regret finding a wife for his good brother's son, but he regretted bringing it up in public!
He knew very well what kind of people his family's princesses were. He was sure that none of them would be willing to marry Chu Mo. If Chu Mo really chose one of the princesses and was rejected on the spot, it would be very interesting.
Not only would Chu Tianji feel angry and think that he was playing with him. Even in his heart, he would feel very apologetic.
Finally, almost everyone's eyes fell on Chu Mo's face.
The princesses held their breaths, not daring to look Chu Mo in the eye.
At this moment, Chu Mo suddenly laughed. His ugly face looked uglier when he laughed than when he cried. Almost all the princesses' hearts sank. They thought to themselves, It's over! This ugly son of a bitch must want to choose one of us!
The officials couldn't help but reveal a faint, almost imperceptible smile on their faces.
The Emperor had played a bad hand!
This time, no matter what, Chu Tianji would definitely be dissatisfied with the Emperor.
Because in this kind of situation, it wasn't only Chu Mo, that ugly youth, who would lose face, but Chu Tian Ji and his wife would also feel embarrassed!
Everyone had their own thoughts. Most of them were waiting to see a joke.
