Love's roots, green awns, old love, new dreams
He is Su Mio!
Who is Su Mio?
Every immortal present knew who this name belonged to!
Su Ling, that was the name of the Holy Emperor Sheng Sheng when he was the Emperor of the Boundless Heaven before he became the Heavenly Emperor!
My mind was in turmoil, filled with all sorts of wild thoughts.
Xie Jinhui has transformed into Su Ling? The Holy Emperor Sheng Sheng has awakened, and has returned to his former handsome and youthful appearance?
Or perhaps Xie Jinhui and the Holy Emperor merged together during the process of the dust swirling into the spirit pearl, with one transforming into a speck of dust and the other relying on divine sense?
Oh my god, which one is it? I can't accept whichever one it is!
A sharp glint flashed in my eyes, causing my equally confused and bewildered master to tremble. The deep lines between his brows turned into three abysses.
"Master, you said you've met Emperor Su Ling. Tell me, who is he? Is he the Emperor, or Xie Jinhui, or..."
An urgent spiritual search for confirmation drove me to delve into my master's consciousness.
His expression tightened, and he replied, "Yuan'e, I was only five hundred years old that year. I only saw the back of Emperor Su Ling, but I never saw his true face."
I have heard that the true form of Emperor Su Ling is pure water, and his nature is extremely unpredictable and elusive. No one can be certain whether what they have seen is his true form.
A rather ambiguous and vague answer.
I looked up at that familiar yet strange, strange yet intimate figure in the sky, and suddenly my mind was filled with light. The origin of the light was the jade stone engraved with Xie Jinhui's appearance.
What is that jade doing? Is it using light to peel away Xie Jinhui's image inch by inch?
don't want!
I raised my hand and pressed it to my forehead; it was burning hot, like a fever. Both my head and I needed some calming answer.
"Master, please tell me, he is Xie Jinhui, right?"
The master fell silent, retreating back to the scene of disbelief and stillness that followed the immortals upon hearing the name Su Ling.
The celestial being held the Cold Qi Nuo Flame in his hand, his eyes still holding the lingering embers of Xie Jinhui's most tender moments.
His gaze fell upon the "seven desires" he spoke of, and immediately turned cold and horrified.
The light of the seven desires trembled and roared, bursting into a maniacal laugh.
"You say you are Su Ling? What nonsense!" The light sphere spoke angrily, its uniform ice-like light spikes pointing at the immortal.
“I say I am Su Ling, I am the real Su Ling, I have long since replaced the Holy Emperor Sheng, who abandoned me, suppressed me, and wore me down.”
I just saw clearly that sliver of his consciousness; he had clearly turned to dust, just like the skeletal armor on your body, in order to protect you.
The Holy Emperor is gone; he is truly dead and has no chance of being resurrected.
Now, in the whole world, I am the only one who dares to say that I am Suo Ling.
Hahahaha.
"You're just some wicked demon who appeared out of nowhere, taking advantage of my weakness, daring to compete with me for the throne of the Heavenly Emperor! How dare you!"
I forced her head to open her mouth, and even though we had already formed seven neat balls, she still spoke so rudely.
But he said that the Holy Emperor is completely dead. Is that true or false?
At this moment, almost everyone was gasping in shock.
The jade ruyi in Baicao Xianjun's hand fell onto the cloud with a 'thud'.
The Immortal Binding Cloud Lock of Lord Muheng tightened suddenly, as if hanging his fat belly.
Who are they all? They're all claiming to be Suo Ling?
Master said that the true form of Emperor Su Ling is pure water. The method he obtained the approval of the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone back then must have been like that beautiful water.
It split into several drops at once, and finally, the cleanest drop of water was pressed against the stone.
According to my line of thought, the purest one is the Holy Emperor Shengsheng, while that one called Seven Desires is probably just impurity water...
So, who is this person who resembles Xie Jinhui but has a much higher level of charisma?
But whoever he is, all I know is that he is the person I desperately tried to protect with my Soul Chains.
A sudden thought popped into my head: Could it be that Xie Jinhui had come up with some way to manipulate the concept of time and space, turning himself into a fake Water Droplet of Emperor Su Ling?
Thus, Hanchino Flame obeyed his summons?
Oh my, if that's the case, wouldn't I be getting a great deal?
With my husband's current appearance, even if you sprinkled tens of thousands of bottles of "beauty potion," you still couldn't achieve that.
Right now, he's about to place the skewers on a charcoal grill filled with ice and fire, waiting for the impurities and water to vanish into thin air...
I suddenly realized that the Holy Emperor Shengsheng was gone, and my heart clenched. All my assumptions were actually speculations based on this outcome.
Is that really the case?
My mood, which had just started to improve, instantly plummeted into a valley of doubt.
"The Holy Emperor Sheng is indeed gone." My imagined new husband was speaking to Qi Yu, and also informing the immortals.
The reactions of the immortals were predictable, ranging from pounding their chests in despair to calm skepticism, and even to distrusting everyone and wanting to fight to the death...
I don't care about the specifics; I just want to listen carefully to what my husband has to say next.
Why do I believe he is Xie Jinhui?
As Seven Desires said, the bone armor shattered while protecting him.
The armor I created is not indestructible, but it recognizes its master!
Her husband looked serious, then smiled calmly.
"Seven Desires, I am not the Holy Emperor Sheng, but I am Su Mio."
To be precise, I am Su Mio, the Emperor from 320,000 years ago, before I had gained the approval of the Tai Su Wu Nian Stone and was still living a leisurely life outside the Boundless Heaven.
"What do you mean? 320,000 years ago? Aren't you the bastard son of that bastard Mo Xuchenyuan? Don't spout nonsense!" Qi Yu roared.
My seven desires, unable to contain their rage, erupted with a light that illuminated the doubts in my mind.
What? 320,000 years ago, Qi Yu mentioned Mo Xu Chen Yuan!
Let me listen again, listen carefully!
At this moment, is the flow within the fourteen strings still celestial power?
It was a series of wisps of mist.
Fortunately, my husband's demeanor was terrifying, and the icy flames of the Cold Qi Nuo Flame continued to scorch and weaken the spiritual lifeline of the Seven Desires.
"Mo Xu Chen Yuan? Xie Jin Hui?" He murmured with a smile, holding the Cold Qi Nuo Flame in his hand.
Why did my husband ask me about his origins and name?
"It was a beautiful accident," he said.
His gaze swept over me, filling me with suspicion.
Why was it an accident?
"Seven Desires," he said, "Just now, when the Holy Emperor's spiritual consciousness exploded, did you see a brief stream of water emerge from the void after the sky was filled with red light?"
I didn't see it.
But Qi Yu was very honest, his voice trembling through gritted teeth.
"I saw it. As soon as that river appeared, you stole my Cold Qi Nuo Flame and turned against me." Qi Yu's tone was cold and hard.
"hehe."
My husband's smile is so sweet, like the gentle murmur of a spring.
"The Seven Desires... Before his annihilation, the Holy Emperor Shengsheng opened the Sea of Time with his last wisp of spiritual consciousness," he confessed.
"The Holy Emperor crossed from this shore to 320,000 years ago and found me."
I hereby confess to you all your transgressions, including creating magical objects to disrupt the world's order, causing the Heavenly Emperor to fall ill, and attempting to usurp his throne to satisfy your own selfish desires.
The Holy Emperor did indeed lose to you; he lost because of his benevolence and excessive self-sacrifice.
He begged me to cross the Sea of Time with him to undo the mistake he made years ago, to relinquish his seven desires, and also…
His gaze swept over me, and for a moment he hesitated and looked away, managing to squeeze out a few words.
“The mistakes I made,” he said.
"Su Ling? Su Ling from 320,000 years ago, are you really Su Ling?" Qi Yu interrupted him suddenly, as if she had finally found an outlet for her anger.
I panicked. Not only were my previous guesses wrong, but the answer that Emperor Su Ling had given me was simply unbelievable.
Looking across the entire immortal realm, are there any immortals who can pluck the strings of time from 320,000 years ago?
It doesn't exist!
But when I think about Xie Jinhui, whether he was using the Butterfly Dream Bell or implanting memories into spirits and immortals, his methods of using time were truly bizarre.
If the Holy Emperor, also known as Emperor Su Ling, possesses the ability to reverse time.
What's going on with Xie Jinhui? Did he become Su Miao, or did Su Miao become him?
Perhaps, he was just a dream of Emperor Su Ling?
My arms hung limply, I felt utterly powerless, my mind raced, and I was exhausted.
Emperor Su Ling once again proved his identity to Qi Yu, revealing his memories from beyond the boundless heavens and his understanding of Qi Yu's temperament.
He said that the seven desires were things that the Holy Emperor Shengsheng had to get rid of and give up in order to become the Heavenly Emperor.
Qi Yu let out a raucous laugh, a mixture of tears and snot.
"Su Ling, you are despicable and shameless. In order to help that old bastard Mo Xu Chen Yuan, you went against your own principles and insisted on gaining the approval of Tai Su Wu Nian Shi to become some kind of Heavenly Emperor."
What's wrong with your true nature? You live freely and unrestrainedly between heaven and earth, so happy and carefree.
You actually disregarded everything for the sake of all living beings.
And what about your dream? What about the heart you've been tirelessly working towards, the one that has touched your heart?
You actually gave up on me, you abandoned your feelings on Green Mang Mountain first..."
Boom! Qingmang Mountain! My mind was filled with the sound of mountains collapsing and the earth splitting, and the rocks crashing.
Love is rooted in Qingmang Mountain!
Unexpectedly, the old master lost his composure and exclaimed in shock, "You mean, Yuanhe is Emperor Su Ling's..."
He interrupted the expression of his seven desires, and his seven desires also interrupted his judgment.
"No wonder, no wonder," Qi Yu murmured, then fell into his inescapable grief and resentment as he cursed and scolded.
"Su Ling, you severed my immortal body, why don't you just find a mountain and release me?"
By what right do you imprison me in that bottomless, dark cage beyond the boundless heavens to suppress me?
Do you know how cold and frigid it is down there? Do you know how passionate and fiery you used to be?
You suppress me, seal me away, torment me. If you're going to keep me trapped like this, then so be it.
You've gone crazy again.
Even though you've lost all romantic feelings, do you still miss your ex?
Of course you won't miss me, but I will. I can't forget all my longing for you.
Why did you dig me out, banish me from the boundless heavens, and imprison me at the very bottom of the Netherworld Purgatory?
That was a wonderful place; it smoothed out all my rough edges, my fangs, and my love.
But so what? I have hatred and resentment, and I am also your all-powerful Emperor Su Ling, no, no, no, a part of Emperor Sheng Sheng.
The power of that Netherworld Purgatory gradually submitted to me. I heard that you enjoy honor in the Immortal Realm, and that you are compassionate and bound to all living beings.
Haha, how wonderful! I thought you were out of reach, but your kindness is everywhere.
Those spiritual threads that bind the world, those divine beasts that guard every place.
Hehe, is it because you remember the path I left for you that led to your future?
Or was it your oversight? Did you think I was like you, vowing to protect all living beings?
No, no, the common people have already become my pawns.
They overthrow you, occupy you, manipulate you, and replace your ladder.
I will not care about their lives, I will only use them. Every kind has a child of the highest spirit. I will devour you little by little with spirits.
You are my defeated opponent.
You're wrong. You've ruined yourself, so I'll ruin you.
But when did you learn to open the Sea of Time and send your past self back?
You know how much I miss you, how much I want to be like you used to be.
No, it's us, we, you are me, and I am you.
Perfect Emperor Su Ling, what right do you have to appear before me? You are a sinner.
What good is it if you've done right by the world? You've brought yourself to ruin, your sins are heinous, and you deserve eternal damnation.
"Kneel down right now and apologize!"
Apologize? What about Xie Jinhui?! My head hurts.
Emperor Su Ling looked sad and lowered his eyes to look at me.
His reply to Qiyu was...
"Ah, what a pity. Perhaps the Holy Emperor will apologize to you, but I am Su Ling. I haven't even done the thing of renouncing the seven desires yet."
"The sins you speak of are ones I cannot bear." He changed his tone, his eyes darkening.
"But your sins will be ended by me."
I saw two flames ignite in Emperor Su Ling's eyes, flames that emanated from within him.
The seven desires immediately began to writhe, and suddenly opened seven mouths to shout curses.
"Su Ling, you shameless scoundrel, are you going to exterminate us all?"
Emperor Su Ling smiled slightly.
"Exactly!" he declared righteously. "Come on, I'll keep you company!"
"Don't even think about it!" Seven Desires swirled in the cold flames, still putting up a stubborn resistance.
I saw Emperor Su Ling extend his left hand and offer it to me.
His voice was full of affection as he said, "Yuan'e, come here!"
I……
I can't think of anything. I want to go to him and hear him tell me who he is.
My immortal body floated up.
It must be Emperor Su Ling, no, it must be Xie Jinhui summoning me.
In the Emperor's eyes, there was only the lingering affection I felt; it was Xie Jinhui's unique gaze.
His gaze enveloped me; I had nowhere to escape.
Guided by his magic, I flew higher and higher.
Hurry up, hurry up, even if he's right next to me, I miss him.
Suddenly, those seven desires that had been struggling so desperately seemed to grow eyes filled with tears, and they all shot towards me.
They were restless and cried out in pain.
"Goddess Yuan'e, don't come any closer."
"Su Ling, I won't allow you to touch her!"
