Chapter 217: Bond
“Aren’t you curious about your past?”
Suanni did not rush out, but said in surprise.
It originally thought that after saying so much, Ling Mo would inquire about his past, about what exactly happened.
Yet unexpectedly, Ling Mo did not ask anything.
“Since it is the past, something that has already happened, why should I pursue it?
Even if you don’t say it, I understand. I have much karma on me, but… when it is time for them to appear, they will always appear.
I won’t go back to ask about everything that once happened! This has no meaning…”
Ling Mo replied softly.
In this life, he had experienced too many things, each one a puzzle. If he pursued every single one, he would accomplish nothing.
Before growing strong, Ling Mo would not inquire about his previous life, about what exactly it had experienced.
Ling Mo’s response greatly surprised Suanni, who could not help but admire Ling Mo’s detachment.
If it were anyone else, they would surely eagerly inquire about everything from the past.
They would not even consider whether they could bear such karmic fruit. From this point, Ling Mo had already successfully passed its test.
“Very good! As expected of one of the two supreme beings who was once the most outstanding of the human race. However… there are some things you still need to know a little about…”
As soon as Suanni finished speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck Ling Mo.
In an instant, Ling Mo was directly shocked into unconsciousness and entered a dream realm.
That dream realm was in a void of darkness.
In the endless darkness, Ling Mo saw that familiar figure, although it was only a back view.
But… Ling Mo could vaguely recognize that it was precisely his own back view.
“This… what’s going on?”
The scene before his eyes completely stunned Ling Mo. He saw… his self in the darkness, with dual pupils opening wide, instantly shattering this heaven and earth.
And from the darkness surged countless dark beings, engaging in a slaughter across the vast void.
This place… seemed to be a battlefield, an extremely chaotic battlefield.
On the other side of the dam was the Nine Heavens Ten Lands! Ling Mo could vaguely see that person once seen in his eyes, called the Son of Heaven, facing several dark giants alone with his own body.
The world tree in his hand was shattered. When he finished off the last dark giant, he also fell.
Looking further, that back view in the darkness headed alone to the other side of the dam.
It seemed… there was an even more powerful opponent waiting there. Among the people of this world, only he could cross the dam.
Relying purely on powerful strength, he killed a bloody path and directly reached the other end of the dam.
There, Ling Mo saw that man who often appeared in his dreams, that Beast Milk Handsome Guy who frequently ridiculed him.
“It hurts so much…”
Suddenly, his spirit faltered, his mind instinctively in chaos, as if it were about to explode.
Ling Mo could not see clearly what happened. Suddenly… the final ray of light fell.
When Ling Mo looked toward the other side of the dam again, he heard a phrase resounding through heaven and earth.
“Dual Pupils were originally the Emperor’s Path. Why borrow another’s bone again! Past cause, today’s fruit, returned to you…”
With the fall of the final mournful sound, when Ling Mo looked again, that back view in the darkness had already turned into a mass of blood qi.
“This…”
The scene before his eyes completely entered Ling Mo’s view, his spirit beginning to blur, as if some memory deep in his mind was about to be awakened.
“Dual Pupils… Dual Pupils…”
Ling Mo kept muttering these two words in his mouth. This seemed to be something very heavy.
It was originally the invincible path, yet the invincible heart was lost!
A lifetime of foil, only to be the most brilliant green leaf. This was truly destiny’s trick!
Everything arose because of one bone and ultimately ended because of one bone.
Perhaps, it was precisely that person’s unwillingness that shaped Ling Mo’s second life, third life.
Dual Pupils were originally invincible, but alas, the invincible heart was lost. One wrong step, a lifetime of error.
All the karma seemed to have been settled! But… he died!
Was this truly liberation?
No… this was not liberation, but regret!
Until the moment of death, he had not succeeded in proving himself. Until the final curtain, he could not resolve the regret from many years ago.
That failure in the Illusory God Realm became the only failure in his life.
It became unclear. Ling Mo’s dual pupils began to lose focus, no longer able to see the person in the darkness.
When he woke up again, above the Abyss, only that Pioneer remained!
The entire heaven and earth had become dim and lightless. This war, fought to the end, left only him alone, and a charred willow branch.
Lonely, desolate!
Ling Mo could not understand his mood at this time, but he could feel that he was very lonely…
He left, carrying a willow tree. With one sword, he severed the eternal past, left this world, and headed above the Heavens.
Before leaving, he glanced at Ling Mo, as if… he could see Ling Mo.
That gaze, Ling Mo could not forget. It was too heavy.
With a stab of pain, Ling Mo fell unconscious again.
When he woke up once more, the sin blood mark on his forehead fully manifested.
At this moment, his identity was already very clear. He was the so-called sin blood descendant!
“Past life’s cause, this life’s fruit! It is time to properly repay…”
After waking, Ling Mo was dazed, trying hard to recall his self in the darkness, what exactly happened in the final moment of death.
But no matter how he tried, he could not remember anything.
“You still have a bond in your heart…”
At this time, Suanni’s voice came again.
“Bond? What is that?”
Ling Mo did not understand. He… seemed to indeed have a knot in his heart.
“Invincible Heart!”
Suanni said only three words, like a thunderclap striking Ling Mo’s heart.
Yes!
All the karma from the previous life was settled because of an invincible heart.
So, this thing! Had been lost from the very beginning.
Now, Ling Mo needed to retrieve it, but… Ling Mo did not know how to retrieve it.
He looked puzzled at Suanni, hoping it could explain and resolve the confusion in Ling Mo’s heart.
“I know what you are thinking! But unfortunately, I cannot help you with this matter…
My existence, besides lending you a hand to grow up as quickly as possible.
The only thing I can do is awaken the heart knot in your heart!
In one life, you achieved the Immortal King great undertaking. Your achievements were not supposed to stop there.
Only because you lost the invincible heart, Immortal King became your final end point.
If you cannot resolve this bond, you still will not be able to change anything! You will not be able to take that final step…”
Suanni said again. Ling Mo seemed to have already understood.
It was precisely this bond that prevented him from taking that final step.
Be it previous life or this life, if he could not resolve this bond, his final end point would still be the same as the previous life, with no change.
He was not supposed to stop there. Only because of one bone, he lost the invincible heart and did not retrieve it even through three lifetimes of reincarnation.
“In the end! Neither you nor I actually know what the true invincible heart really is…
Ethereal and elusive things are often the most fatal! Fine… since it is fated, there is no escaping it.”
Ling Mo said in a low voice, his emotions beginning to stabilize.
Now, he had not yet reached this level, so… he had no way to resolve this problem.
And Suanni had only awakened his bond, letting him understand his own bond ahead of time.
It could not help Ling Mo and did not have that ability.
