Chapter 906: Chapter 773: Monument Tears, Memory Reconstruction (Part 1)
It was still dusk, the setting sun in the west. The shadow of the Heavenly Boundary Monument was imprinted on the Silver Demon’s body, this long shadow like a straight black river splitting the boundless yellow sand land!!
“Hoo hoo hoo hoo~~~~~~~~~”
A gust of wind raised dust, causing a feeling of familiarity to collide into the Silver Demon’s mind at that moment…
The wind and sand combined to outline a strange silhouette!!
Gradually, an ancient demon beast appeared in the totem imprinted around the Heavenly Boundary Monument, causing the Silver Demon’s heart to tremble with such familiarity!
The setting sun slowly descended onto the horizon, and its crimson glow bloomed in the last of blood’s brilliance!
The clouds in the sky thickened slightly, slowly concealing an area belonging to the shadow of the black clouds, silently expanding.
This light filled every corner of this land, except for the lonely king’s shadow and the monument’s soul shadow in the distance who searched for answers here.
At this moment, it was still the delicate and dripping sunset just below the horizon!
It was still the vast and boundless earthly sky!
It was still the enormous Heavenly Boundary Monument that towers between heaven and earth!
It was still the howling and frigid gale blowing the yellow sand to the sky, scattering the light along with the setting sun, sky, earth, and the stone tablet, forming a once-familiar painting, picturesque, magnificent, yet filled with strangeness, mystery, and antiquity.
Only the calm and indifferent-looking youth had disappeared, now replaced by the Silver Demon with no sense of self…
He accurately stood in the thickest and darkest shadow in the strange, mysterious, and ancient painting!
“Roar!!!!!!!!!!!”
A thunderous roar suddenly echoed in the ears of the Silver Demon!!
This roar pierced through Chu Mu’s ears and nearly shattered the Silver Demon’s eardrums. It wildly attacked the Silver Demon’s spiritual world!
In front of him appeared a bizarre silhouette, as if a creature stood there, then water and wind elements poured onto the creature’s body, outlining the invisible creature with the flow of water and the lines of wind!
The outline became clearer and clearer until it finally turned into a translucent image like a soul, slowly coming to life in the Silver Demon’s eyes!
It was chasing, chasing in the direction the Silver Demon was always lost in…
It felt like an unbridled wild horse freed from its shackles, running into the vast land with the wind of freedom and the breath of the earth…
Then came the crisis, this totem beast showcasing its unique fighting style, its movements, pace, evasions
It was a sublimation but also the most fluid and magnificent fighting style the Silver Demon had ever seen…
The Silver Demon remembered, he had once witnessed this scene with his own eyes, and the memory was incredibly vivid and unforgettable!!!!!
“I’ve been here… I’ve been here… I’ve been here!!” Suddenly, the Silver Demon let out a roar!!
He clearly remembered coming to the Heavenly Boundary Monument before. Although it wasn’t the same monument, these connected inscriptions awakened the memory of the first time he stepped out of the West Region!
In the past half-year, after the blood-soaked slaughter, the Silver Demon had been constantly asking himself where he was going!
At this moment, once again seeing the dreamlike image of the totem beast, his empty heart seemed to catch fire!
In his empty mind, another familiar voice floated up that he never wanted to forget. It told him:
“Go east, that’s the direction we must move!”
The direction of progress!
Why go east? Because that’s the direction of progress!!
What’s the purpose of moving forward?
It is to set foot on the ultimate altar of the Soul Pet Masters, the place he dreams of reaching!
…
“Hiss~~~~~hiss~~~~~~~~~”
“Hiss~~~hiss~~~hiss~~~~~~~~”
White Nightmare Demons stood solemnly beside the Silver Demon, watching their king, who was now experiencing fluctuating emotions, filled with deep confusion and unease!
Because the ten White Nightmare Demons discovered that their king was actually shedding tears at this moment, leaving behind silver tears, burning hot as if on fire!!
Only one silver tear fell from the king’s unwavering face, but it inexplicably disappeared as it slid down, as if it never existed at all!
However, the ten White Nightmare Demons clearly saw the silver tear’s scorching fall!
“It… it increased!!” Suddenly, the little beauty Ning Man’er exclaimed!
The small sealed vessel in Ning Man’er’s hand she had been playing with for over ten days. She clearly remembered the clear crystalline height inside the vessel. Although it had only increased by a drop, she had just seen a drop fall into the small vessel right after the half-demon’s silver tear disappeared, raising the level inside the vessel!
Ning Man’er was extremely surprised. She glanced at the emotionally distraught Silver Demon Man, then at the small vessel in her hand. Suddenly, she understood!
“This… this… this is Monument Tears!!” Ning Man’er called out once more!
She had heard about the legend of the Heavenly Boundary Monument long ago.
This world contains the most mysterious and unknown stone tablets, which have their own souls. It is said that only beings with true souls can understand what the monument souls have carved with blood and tears.
The words on the Heavenly Boundary Monument are not interpreted with language or eyes, but only with a certain resonance of the soul that gains the approval of the monument’s soul!!
Upon seeing the emotionless half-demon shedding a silver tear, Ning Man’er realized: The half-demon before her had once gained the approval of the monument’s soul and was one of the very few who understood the language of the Heavenly Boundary Monument!!
And now, the special vessel in her hand was the best evidence!
Monument Tears were the tears of the monument’s soul, shed slowly through the eyes of those who understood them!!
If she had known that the small vessel she had been playing with for over ten days was actually filled with Monument Tears, Ning Man’er certainly would not have been so casual. The Tears were the crystallization of the most mysterious power in this world, even referred to as “Tears of God”!
The first drop of Monument Tears came from a creature that understood the heart of the monument’s soul and left tears in response to the resonating wound. From then on, all the sincere tears shed by that creature would be collected by the Monument Tears, growing and expanding through the creature’s experiences and emotions. Since humans have the most emotions in the world, the Monument Tears will grow with them.
Although the vessel Ning Man’er had just been playing with was only the height of a thumb, it contained far more than one drop of tears. Each time a soul tear fell, the Monument Tears would increase by one drop.
The reason why Ning Man’er felt ashamed was because she had just been playing with the accumulated tears that the lonely and confused king had shed in the past as well as the tears shed for him by others. These tears could be said to be the most precious and treasured Tear Crystals in the world!
“Half-demon brother, this… this is for you.” Ning Man’er, realizing she had done something wrong, quickly handed the small vessel containing the Monument Tears back to the Silver Demon Man.
The Silver Demon Man nodded and took the vessel containing his own tears. In his mind, an image of a woman suddenly appeared, as if she was the one who had told him to collect the Monument Tears in this vessel.
…
“You know, my tears are very precious. You can keep them as a collection.”
The woman rolled her eyes playfully, ignoring the thick-skinned teasing
…
A scene flashed through the Silver Demon Man’s mind as he recalled the teasing words he had said about his tears being precious, and couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile.
Initially, when Chu Mu teased Ye Qingzi that his tears were precious, he just wanted to show that he was strong and would hardly ever cry.
However, after so many years when he transformed into the Demon Man and saw all his tears and the tears shed by others for him collected in the vessel, he never expected that simply gathering those sincere tears would almost fill it up.
The Silver Demon Man’s thoughts drifted as memories continuously flooded his mind.
However, these memories were all fragmented. He knew that his past was hidden in this tiny vessel in his hand.
At last, he slowly unscrewed it…
…
Underneath the large stone tablet’s shadow, the emotionless Silver Demon Man stood quietly, using these teardrops to reshape his memories and past…
…
The first tear was his own, shed when he saw the imprisoned Totem Demon Beast within the Monument Tears.
He saw an elegant Totem Demon Beast galloping in the scripture, chasing, fighting, escaping, and grieving…
That was Chu Mu’s first tear. However, not long after, he forgot about the Totem Demon Beast he saw in the Heavenly Boundary Monument. So every time he saw a similar totem or scripture, he would feel a sense of familiarity but could never remember where he had seen it…
Yet, when his thoughts and memories shattered due to demonization, this memory that should have been forgotten filled his empty mind, prompting him to find the second Heavenly Boundary Monument without hesitation and see this figure on the monument once again!
Perhaps in the past, even if Chu Mu remembered this dream-like scene, he wouldn’t have understood what the Demon Beast in the totem was trying to tell him.
However, after becoming a demon and stepping out of his own memories, observing them like an outsider, he was shocked to discover that this Totem Demon Beast was not trying to tell him anything but that it was actually himself!
Chasing dreams, Chu Mu had never stopped chasing, as he had always longed to reach the peak of being a Soul Pet Master.
Fighting, Chu Mu had also never stopped fighting, honing himself for his ideals, making himself stronger!
Escaping, that was the test of death. Escaping from Prison Island, evading Xia Guanghan’s pursuit, and surviving the White Nightmare Demon’s chase as it devoured his Soul Power in the early stages of training, have left Chu Mu with inescapable nightmares while also teaching him to be strong and to survive!
Grief, that was the experience gained through the blood and tears shed after enduring all the bitterness and pain, allowing Chu Mu to mature and find the strength to move forward!
This first tear was shed for himself…
