Chapter 196: Giving His Last Words as He Runs Towards His Sun.
Mo Heng never expected that his biggest worry would be resolved in just a few words after meeting Mo Gui.
Those people can't find the Mo family through Mo Gui, and they can still enjoy the protection of the country. The lives of the Mo family members will never be in danger.
“I’m going to kill them all,” Mo Gui suddenly said. “I’ll do it this time, Sister Jue. I might not come in with you next time.”
"Don't be impulsive," Nanmen Jue said.
"I wasn't acting on impulse, I really wanted to kill them." Mo Gui gritted his teeth. "They broke the law, committed crimes, drove my mother to her death, and now they actually want to come after me? What do they want with me?"
“They believe in the Fire Heir Alliance and emphasize bloodline inheritance, with sons passing on their fathers’ business,” Mo Heng said.
"It's a cult, for crying out loud!" Mo Gui roared in fury.
“Strictly speaking, the Fire Heir Alliance is not a cult,” Ying Yao said. “Of course, every sect has its extremists.”
"I've been dead for eighteen years and I still haven't given up. Isn't that a bit extreme?" Mo Gui sneered. "Want to come looking for me? Perfect, I want to go looking for them too."
"No!" Mo Heng said, "Whether it's me or Mom and Dad, we all want you to get completely away from all this. What if you go to them and get used by them instead? You're still so young, it's not worth sacrificing yourself for them!"
He glanced at Ying Yao, "Besides, with this person's guarantee, I believe we'll all be fine, as long as you can live well... that's all that matters."
Mo Gui was furious, but hadn't lost his mind yet. "Ying Yao, who exactly are you in reality?"
Although they had been through a lot together and were inseparable during training, Mo Gui never asked about things that Ying Yao himself hadn't brought up.
"I'm just a retired soldier," Ying Yao said.
Mo Heng gave him a deep look. As a businessman, he naturally knew what to say and what not to say. He continued to persuade the furious Mo Gui, "Xiao Man, don't go. Let this matter end here. Leave the rest to the authorities to handle."
Mo Gui's face was gloomy. He hoped that Nanmen Jue would say something at this time, but he didn't say anything. He hesitated for a while and then said, "Alright, I don't trust the authorities, I trust Ying Yao. If I'm not satisfied with how this matter is handled, then I'll take matters into my own hands."
Before Mo Heng could say anything more, Mo Gui looked at him and said, "I'm not the weak child I used to be. Believe me, I can protect myself, and I can protect you all, brother."
This was the first time Mo Gui had called him "brother" since they met, and Mo Heng swallowed all his words.
"Are you... not angry anymore?"
Mo Gui turned his head away. "To be honest, I don't have any right to be angry, but I can't face you right away either... After I get out this time, I'll go see my parents. Do they know you've gone to a place like this?"
Mo Heng stared at him. "I haven't said anything yet."
"Then don't say anything more. I'll find a way to cure Mom's illness. You just need to live." Mo Gui paused for a moment, and suddenly a large pile of props appeared on the ground. "Take these. I've bound myself to them as a price for using them. After we get back, add me as a system friend, and we can talk about anything else."
Mo Heng didn't even glance at the item on the ground that would make any reincarnator clamor for it. "Aren't you coming with me? What are you going to do?"
“I told you, I can’t face you right now, and I have important things to do,” Mo Gui said.
“You’re really different now,” Mo Heng said.
“Spending a couple more years in this godforsaken place would change anyone,” Mo Gui said.
Mo Gui wanted to go with Nanmen Jue, but Nanmen Jue looked back twice and said, "You stay."
Mo Gui immediately panicked: "Sister Jue, I won't..."
“I won’t be in any danger, but your brother is still a newcomer.” Nanmen Jue looked into the distance with a calm gaze. “Since you’re worried, protect him yourself. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it once something really happens.”
Mo Gui and Ying Yao both looked at her.
They could all understand that when Nanmen Jue was talking about Mo Gui, she was actually talking about herself.
Mo Gui felt as if a thousand pounds of cotton were stuffed into his throat; he couldn't swallow it down or vomit it up. A sour, astringent feeling was forced out, and his voice was frighteningly dry: "Sister Jue..."
Nanmen Jue didn't look at him, but just patted his shoulder and then walked away.
Ying Yao followed, while Mo Gui stayed behind. Whether it was to protect Mo Heng or to teach Mo Heng some survival rules in the cycle of reincarnation, he could not leave Mo Heng at this time.
After the two had walked some distance, Ying Yao asked, "Do you think he should go back to the Mo family?"
“I just don’t want him to regret it,” Nanmen Jue said.
Ying Yao looked at her, the words rolling on his tongue, but he swallowed them back down.
Some things, whether out of concern or worry, should not be said.
He thought that Nanmen Jue had regretted it.
...
Everyone initially thought this was just another ordinary world. They expected Nanmen Jue to find the anchor point in an ordinary way, destroy it in an ordinary way, and give Ying Yao or Mo Gui another ordinary point to buy props.
That's how things should be.
Mo Gui never expected that after going through so many steps together, things would go wrong this time. Otherwise, why would he have left Nanmen Jue?
When Nanmenjue and Yingyao arrived at the anchor point and saw a stranger already waiting there, Yingyao hadn't even reacted yet.
Nanmen Jue stopped in his tracks, while Ying Yao was still thinking about how to lure the person away.
Nanmen Jue said, "Don't rush, an old friend has arrived."
She said they were old friends, but her entire demeanor and expression changed, like a tiger poised to pounce and bite off the other's throat.
Ying Yao realized who it was.
With familiar methods, people from any world are merely stepping stones for the Supreme God to achieve His goals. In that world, He could possess Howe's body, and in this world, He can naturally possess anyone's body at will.
"You've finally arrived?" the Supreme God said in a tone as if he were an old friend. "You're a little slow; I've been waiting here for most of the day."
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and it must have been hard for you to find me. I thought you would have found me two worlds ago."
With his hands in his pockets, Nanmen Jue strolled leisurely toward the main deity.
"Are you too slow, or are you afraid of me?"
The Supreme God's expression twisted for a moment. "I'm afraid of you? Nanmen Jue, do you think you can contend with me just because you obtained a little thing from the Mother Goddess?"
"Can't I?" Nanmen Jue raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise. "Could it be that I guessed wrong, and you actually don't want to kill me?"
The supreme deity fell silent.
If He had a way to kill Nanmenjue immediately, would He still be wasting time talking to her here?
Finally realizing that even a god couldn't win against Nanmen Jue in the battle of words, the main god restored peace.
"You can keep spouting nonsense here. Since you're so smart, you must have figured out that my presence here means you're going to die here."
His tone became vast, distant, and eerie. His human face tore open, and the coiled giant serpent broke free of its skin, raising its head to look down at the tiny humans.
"Nanmen Jue, you're too arrogant. Without that stinky bird's help and without my human contractor's interference, do you really think you could have survived me?"
The world was filled with a dramatic change in weather, with thick clouds churning and bright lightning illuminating half the continent in a stark white light. People all over the world saw a giant snake shadow appear in the sky.
Mo Gui, who was separated from Mo Gui by two cities, suddenly looked up. Having gone through that nightmarish world together, he could certainly recognize what it was.
"What...what's going on?" Mo Heng was completely unaware of what terrifying things they were facing. "I think I vaguely heard someone calling Nanmen Jue's name just now. Nanmen Jue, is that your Sister Jue?"
During the two days Mo Gui spent with Mo Heng, he didn't talk much about himself, but he kept mentioning Nanmen Jue, Nanmen Jue's strength, Nanmen Jue's soft heart, and everything Nanmen Jue carried... Mo Heng also knew that this was the person Mo Gui had relied on so much that day.
Mo Gui stared blankly at the sky. In just a few seconds, he made a major decision, or rather, he never hesitated. Excluding the time he was stunned, he made the decision immediately without a moment's hesitation.
"Brother, I'll find you a place to hide. Don't come out." Mo Gui grabbed Mo Heng and left.
His strength was astonishing, and Mo Heng stumbled, exclaiming, "What happened?!"
"Brother, listen to me." Mo Gui's tone was serious, but his expression wasn't grave, as if he had already foreseen his possible fate and was gladly going towards it. "You've already experienced a world, so you should be familiar with the process of returning to the Main God's Hall. Perhaps you'll return safely. If that's the case, take the items I gave you, and follow the upgrade schedule I told you. I'll take you to kill monsters these past two days, and when you get back, you should at least be a blue-named player. Once you're a blue-named player, your self-defense capabilities will be much stronger..."
Mo Heng knew him well and had already gleaned something from his expression. He grabbed Mo Gui and demanded, "Tell me clearly, what are you going to do!"
"...But above blue names are purple names, orange names, and gold names. When you get back, go find the leader of the Iron Drill, Sister Terra. She won't let you join, but out of respect for our acquaintance, she will definitely protect you. She's a very nice person."
The tone, as if delivering a final testament, completely panicked Mo Heng. He stared blankly at Mo Gui, his expression suddenly revealing immense tenderness.
He could never have imagined that his younger brother would have such a gentle expression on his face, but he had seen this expression many times in the past two days. Every time Mo Gui mentioned Nanmen Jue, he would show this expression.
"Brother, I may not be able to go back," Mo Gui said in a low voice. "But like Sister Jue, I will do everything I can to make sure you can go back. If you can go back, please apologize to Mom and Dad for me, and... they will always be my parents."
Mo Gui's tone was calm, but Mo Heng was deeply shocked, and without realizing it, tears streamed down his face.
"Xiaoman, come with me..."
“I can’t be with you. Sister Jue needs me more.” Mo Gui looked up and smiled at him. “She has nothing left but us friends. At a time like this, I have to be by her side no matter what.”
He will head towards his sun without hesitation, towards his only light.
When Mo Gui arrived at the anchor point, the situation was already in complete chaos.
Nanmen Jue manipulated the scarlet light to envelop her and Ying Yao. The two were fighting against the giant snake. The world was pitch black, with only pale lightning flashing alternately, creating a scene reminiscent of the end of the world.
Mo Gui was completely in the dark. He didn't blindly join the battle. After thinking for a moment, he took off and rushed towards the unattended anchor point!
