Chapter 286: If you were in charge of reincarnation, what would you do?

The woman was tall, even a little taller than Su Mu. She wore a dark yellow robe. A dark yellow mist surrounded her.

The face is absolutely beautiful, with a kind of hazy and sacred beauty, solemn and sacred, even making people feel a little unreal. This kind of beauty has gone beyond the superficial level and risen to the level of majesty, solemn beauty, sacredness and dignity, and the unique aura of the superior is displayed to the fullest.

The woman in the black robe stood quietly on the water. Her bare feet with clear bones lightly tapped the water, creating circles of ripples.

It seemed that just by standing there, she gave people a feeling of worship.

Moreover, since the woman appeared, the surroundings became quiet. Even the sound of gurgling water disappeared. Only Su Mu's breathing could be heard.

Why can only Su Mu's breathing be heard? It is because the woman is like a sculpture. She does not need to breathe, and even the characteristics of a living being cannot be sensed on her body. However, she is indeed a real "existing" living being.

In other words, she should have broken away from the category of "living beings" and evolved into a completely new form of life, a higher mode of existence.

Just one glance and Su Mu's pupils shrank sharply, and ripples of shock appeared in his heart.

This woman in black is the strongest person he has ever seen in the years he has been guarding the Changhe River, no doubt about it!

Since Su Mu could not sense any emotional fluctuations in the other person's eyes, he could not tell whether the other person was kind or malicious towards him.

After staring at each other quietly for a while.

Su Mu spoke up, breaking the silence: "Who are you?"

A vague voice reached Su Mu's ears.

“I planted the tree.”

This voice clearly came from in front of me, but it seemed to be floating from eternity, and it was very distant.

After hearing these words, Su Mu had an answer in his mind about the identity of this woman.

Could it be that he is here to cause trouble for me?

Because he learned from the old man that the Three-Life Tree was planted by his predecessors, and picking a fruit by himself was equivalent to taking someone else's things.

Since this tree was planted by the woman in front of him, it meant that he had taken her things without her consent, so Su Mu subconsciously thought that this woman was here to cause trouble for him.

Hearing this, Su Mu suddenly lost interest. He took out the fist-sized lantern fruit from his sleeve and threw it to the woman in black.

Isn't it just a fruit?

Why did they make such a fuss? I just brought three ginseng fruits with me and helped them build the stone bridge. Are you still so stingy?

Damn it!

I don’t care anymore!

If Su Mu was not sure that he could beat the woman in front of him, with his temper, there was no way he would have gone out.

The lantern fruit did not fall into the black woman's hands, but hovered in the air.

"I didn't come to you for this little thing."

The dark-skinned woman murmured.

"This fruit is what you deserve."

After saying that, the woman waved her hand and the lantern fruit continued to fly into Su Mu's sleeves.

"I came here just to ask you a question." The woman in black stared into Su Mu's eyes and asked word by word.

Hearing this, Su Mu was also a little confused. Why is it that the stronger a person is, the more he likes to be mysterious?

"Ask." Su Mu replied calmly.

"If one day, you control reincarnation, you control the reincarnation and rebirth of all souls in the world."

"And your dearest relative died. Would you choose to go against the rules of reincarnation and revive him, or let him take his own course and be reincarnated again?"

The black woman's voice, like the sound of dust on the road, echoed in Su Mu's ears.

Hearing this question, Su Mu was also stunned.

For Su Mu, this question is asking Su Mu that if Nannan died one day, would he choose to resurrect Nannan or let Nannan reincarnate and live in the next life.

But in the next life, Nannan will have nothing to do with him, he will no longer be Nannan's father, and Nannan will no longer be his daughter.

This question made Su Mu fall into silence, and he was also thinking seriously.

Everything around became quiet.

This seemingly simple question, seemingly an ordinary conversation, contains causes and effects that will determine the direction of a certain trajectory and which side the balance will tilt towards.

After thinking for a long time, Su Mu had an answer in his mind. In fact, he had already had this answer.

It's just the first time I followed my heart and said it out loud.

"I have a daughter. If she dies."

"There are two possible outcomes for her death."

"First, I am not capable enough to protect her, so I will not revive her. I will let her get away from me and my karma. I will protect her and help her reincarnate smoothly and live a stable, peaceful, and happier life."

"Secondly, I have the ability to protect her, to make her happy, healthy, and grow up happily, and finally die without regrets. I will not resurrect her because I cannot be so selfish. I have her for one life, and that is enough. She will have her own life in the next life."

After hearing this answer, the black-skinned woman's body paused noticeably, and even her eyes fluctuated.

This answer was different from the answer she expected and wanted.

However, this answer surpassed the most ideal answer in her mind.

After being silent for several seconds, the woman in black smiled. The surroundings were no longer so quiet, the atmosphere was eased, and the sound of gurgling water echoed.

In her mind, there are two answers.

The first answer is that it is out of selfishness, to resurrect people close to you, disrupt the rules of reincarnation, and turn the rules of reincarnation into rules that you control alone.

If Su Mu gave this answer, she would make Su Mu pay a heavy price at all costs. Even if she couldn't kill him, she would not let him progress so smoothly.

Because once the most important law of reincarnation falls into the hands of such people in the future, the entire world will fall into endless darkness.

The second answer is to be selfless and not break principles or the original rules of reincarnation for anyone.

This answer is the answer she wants most.

Because only this kind of person is suitable to hold great power.

However, Su Mu's answer was not any of them.

He is selfish, but also has principles.

Because being too emotional or too rational is not good, instead this kind of "moderation" is the most appropriate.

Maybe letting him take charge in the future will bring better development to the world.

The dark-skinned woman probably already has the answer in her heart, and has made her own choice.

In this "balance", she temporarily stood on Su Mu's side.

"You don't seem to be your real self?"

Su Mu couldn't help but ask the woman in black.
