Chapter 907: Chapter 774: Monument Tears, Memory Reconstruction (Part 2)
The second tear was shed for his father.
It was when he left Li City, through the Soul Covenant of someone from the same era as his father, that Chu Mu, having become half-demon, plundered his memory and saw his own tragic past!
Chu Mu knew very well that his father, when he was young, must have been working tirelessly towards the highest altar of a Soul Pet Master, something that was worth a lifetime and life’s pursuit.
But alas, his father’s life was cut short during his youngest and most brilliant years, all his soul pets were forcibly released from their soul contracts, and his three main pets were sealed in the Seal Tower…
Even in the end, in order to let their master step on the path of a Soul Pet Master that had been cut short and rise again, these three main pets chose self-destruction within the Seal Tower, releasing their master’s soul.
This tear was shed for his father’s tribulations and for his father’s three great soul pets!
The third tear was the tear of Ye Qingzi, and also the tear of Chu Mu’s growing compassion and love.
Helpless and weak, Ye Qingzi curled up in a dark corner, sobbing but not daring to cry out loud. At that time, Chu Mu stood beside her, expressionless, but his heart was in tears.
For the first time, Chu Mu was truly angered for someone else. At that moment, he suddenly realized that the seemingly plain and unremarkable time they spent together had unknowingly made him like this girl. It was also when she was helplessly crying that Chu Mu knew she had already occupied a great place in his heart, and her tears were his own sadness…
This tear was shed for the one he had unknowingly fallen in love with. Although it didn’t fall from his eyes, it was still Chu Mu’s most sincere expression of emotion!
The fourth tear was from the Wind-binding Spirit.
In a desperate need for power, Chu Mu used the Memory Liquid from the Soul Covenant, which could erase a soul pet’s memory!
At that time, Chu Mu understood how important memory is to a living being. Without memory, there is no meaning in living.
Qin was unwilling to forget the destruction of his tribe and the hatred for the Furious Wind Demon Empire. Covered in tears and bruised all over, he crawled to Chu Mu and signed a soul contract with Chu Mu when he was already mentally mature, becoming his own soul pet!
This tear was for Wind-binding Spirit’s tears and for Chu Mu’s deep sense of guilt for nearly committing a big mistake. It made Chu Mu deeply understand that what deserves respect is not a life with great strength, but a life like Wind-binding Spirit that possesses its own soul!
The fifth tear was Zhan Ye’s tear.
Since being abandoned after being born, Zhan Ye had been struggling to survive alone in the dangerous forest, fighting on its own, wandering alone, and licking its wounds alone in caves…
It had signed a soul contract with humans, only to be abandoned because it was too weak.
Twice abandoned, but it didn’t let go of its determination to grow and become stronger. After falling down and getting up time and time again, it gained Chu Mu’s recognition and became his most proud and strongest soul pet.
In the Ten-Thousand-Legged Centipede Abyss, Zhan Ye battled for two days and nights straight, using a huge pile of corpses to defend its king-like dignity. At that moment, Chu Mu’s tears poured like a spring.
Such a proud life, such a proud strong one, Chu Mu did not let it be abandoned for the third time. This tear flowed deep into his own heart…
The sixth tear was shed for the birth of Little Hiding Dragon and the Azure Sky Hidden Dragon.
Little Hiding Dragon was born in Immortal City, its birth came from the decay of a Qingzhe Dragon who had lost its soul and the meaning of life!
Birth, growth, metamorphosis, maturity, peak, reproduction, aging, death…
This is when I truly realized that the life of a species is a cycle.
The Azure Sky Hidden Dragon represents the aging and dying life, while the Little Hiding Dragon represents the birth of a new life. These two lives of the same species form a perfect cycle.
No matter how painful and sad existence is, when you see a tender new life breaking out of its shell and looking at the world with those curious and innocent eyes, everything seems insignificant.
The respectable and tear-worthy life, this tear made me thoroughly understand the meaning of life.
The seventh tear, to be precise, should be Liu Binglan’s tear.
This tear is a sincere one that fell for me. As Chu Mu, who has always been alone and used to watching the world with cold eyes, finally experienced the feeling of being cared for, worried about, and becoming gaunt for someone else.
When I opened my eyes in the Ice Palace, my mother’s worried face was imprinted in my heart, warming my whole body, making the indifference and unfamiliarity I had towards my mother for over twenty years finally melt a little. This emotion is completely different from my father’s; it is not encouragement, not burning, but just a warmth that is being taken care of attentively when feeling exhausted and weak…
This tear is Liu Binglan’s tear, but it fell into Chu Mu’s Monument Tears.
The eighth tear is the tear of a soul pet.
This tear fell not long ago when Ning Man’er reminded me of having my soul pet and I glanced at my shoulder…
But there was nothing on my shoulder, making my heart feel empty too.
It was because I had lost the habit of having a delicate little creature lying on me for many years, accustomed to this little creature’s wet tongue licking my cheeks, accustomed to this lovely little creature dozing on my shoulder…
However, this unintentional act made Mo Ye, who had been locked in the soul pet space for a year, shed tears.
This action of Chu Mu made Mo Ye know that even though Chu Mu had transformed into a demon, he had not forgotten about it. Even though it could not communicate with Chu Mu and could not be summoned, Mo Ye still lay in Chu Mu’s dark soul pet space, crying like a child…
These tears are not only Mo Ye’s, but also the tears of the soul pets locked in Chu Mu’s Soul Pet Space, waiting and hoping, for they have always believed that Chu Mu would wake up!
…
When the eighth tear woke up the lost things in Chu Mu, the Silver Demon Chu Mu knelt under the Heavenly Boundary Monument, weeping inaudibly…
One year.
A whole year!
From World City to the Southern Forbidden Region, crossing almost the entire Southern Forbidden Region, finding oneself again in the numb killings, and returning to the human world, standing in front of the Second Sky Realm Monument.
How much killing took place during this year is no longer important; what is important is that I am still alive, alive in the deepest part of my demonic heart!!
“Little Hiding Dragon, Zhan Ye, Ye, where are you? I… I, Chu Mu, am back!!”
Suddenly, Chu Mu stood up from the yellow sand, wiped the tears from his face with determination, and let out a roar towards the vast sky!!!
(Chapter Five!!! Chu Mu is back!! Of course, the Monument Tears are not just for restoring memories, it’s not that simple!!!) (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian () to vote for your recommendation votes and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
