At night, Shen Mo didn't repair his chain as before, but opened the ancient book on split souls again.

This ancient book was found in the Southern Kingdom's imperial treasury before he went into seclusion to cross the tribulation period. But at that time, he also thought that the idea of ​​soul splitting was too far-fetched, so he didn't take it to heart. He just brought the ancient book with him when he brought the formation method. When I came out, I didn't expect to use it later.

The records in the second half of the ancient book are somewhat vague due to its age. In addition to teaching people how to split their souls, this ancient book also records the feelings of those who use the split souls.

The person who wrote the ancient book also separated a separate soul with self-awareness like Shen Mo, but unlike Shen Mo, the person who wrote the ancient book used force to force the soul to merge. Shen Mo had painstakingly designed it to let Shen Mo. One of the reasons why Ye Bai voluntarily merged was because there was a sentence written in an ancient book: once the souls merge, there is no difference, but at any time, when they gradually realize that they are not me, they stop.

After the fusion, the separated souls that were forcibly fused were like putting another person in the mind of the person who wrote the ancient book. It even made the person who wrote the ancient book constantly doubt his identity. Fear prompted him to stop the fusion, and the subsequent records were also scrawled a lot. .

In the end, the person who wrote the ancient book left only one sentence: I tried to explain it, but it was not allowed. Later I found out that it was my fault, and he and I were really the same person.

The last character was written in a hurry, and it even took up half of the paper. Just like what he wrote, he was trying to communicate with his separated soul but was rejected. Such regretful words.

Shen Mo studied this ancient book in detail before dividing his soul. The situation forced him to divide his soul, but it did not mean that he would not learn the lessons of the ancient book. So when Shen Yebai was born, he gave Shen Yebai " "Freedom within restrictions", and constantly instilled in him the idea that "I was born to complete the plan", constantly denying the meaning of Shen Yebai's existence, and preventing Shen Yebai from wanting to escape from his control later.

It's just that things are unpredictable. Shen Yebai, who was originally in control, became resistant because of his encounter with Qin Moyu, so Shen Mo had to make another plan to force Shen Yebai to "voluntarily" merge.

But even with Shen Yebai's consent, Shen Mo was still vigilant and did not merge with Shen Yebai at once. Instead, he chose to absorb Shen Yebai's memories and feelings by slowly nibbling away. Facts have proved that he did not do anything wrong.

During this period of fusion, he clearly knew that he was Shen Mo from beginning to end - except when facing Qin Moyu.

Different scenes, but the same heart-warming person, made Shen Mo gradually blur the memory of Shen Yebai. When he recalled the past with Qin Moyu, he unconsciously thought that the past Shen Yebai was himself.

Shen Mo rubbed the uneven damage on the ancient book, but his eyes fell on the bronze mirror not far away.

The clear bronze mirror reflected his face, but Shen Mo felt so strange.

I……

Who on earth is it?

Shen Mo couldn't help but think about his life.

To say that it is boring is an exaggeration, but to say that it is unforgettable and cherished is too contrary to his will. He will miss his parents and care about the people, but he will always be like a hollow wood, ups and downs in the ocean of responsibility, and has done what he should do according to his status. Things, what I want but I have never thought about it.

"Admit it."

Shen Mo sighed quietly at the deserted surroundings and said to himself, "You just want him."

Shen Yebai's memories and feelings only accelerated his feelings for Qin Moyu. In the final analysis, it was his heart that moved towards Qin Moyu. It was the first time since his birth that he longed to have someone.

But what Qin Moyu wanted was not Shen Mo, but Shen Yebai.

So……

Why not give him Shen Yebai?

Shen Mo looked at himself in the mirror and laughed softly: "Giving up is not my style."

He has never been a timid person, otherwise he would not have had the courage to fight against the law of heaven. At certain times, he could even be called crazy.

In the silent night, a small sound that no one heard existed only in Shen Mo's mind. He closed his eyes, completely let go of all the shackles, and accepted all of Shen Yebai's memories.

["Mo Yu, what do you think is a person?"]

["I think, therefore I am, Ye Bai——"]

A cicada flapped its wings gently in the yard, falling from one tree to another, but suddenly its limbs became stiff and fell to the ground in an instant.

At the moment when the cicada fell, dark clouds began to gather in the sky above the royal family of the Southern Kingdom.

The cold moonlight was covered by dark clouds, and in the dark night only the lights of the palace were swaying in the sudden gusts of wind. The patrolling guard felt a chill, touched his arms, and muttered that this day has become real. quick.

In the imperial study room, Shen Sheng was checking the results of Shen Yu's punishment. The two of them raised their heads and looked at each other at the same time. They rushed outside without saying a word. They saw the strong wind blowing wildly, and their robes were blown away by the wind. Sound.

Shen Sheng stared blankly in the direction of Shen Mo's residence, and finally couldn't help laughing loudly.

Although Shen Yu also sensed that something terrible had happened, he still didn't understand what his royal brother was laughing at.

"Xiao Yu." Shen Sheng suddenly turned around. All these years of hard work had made his face look haggard. Not only had his cultivation stagnated, but his body had also been worn out. His eyes still had the blue color from staying up late these past few days to criticize them, but the wind blew them away. His hair was gone, and there were actually a few strands of white hair on his temples at such a young age. Only at this moment did Shen Yu understand how much his royal brother had paid to restore the Southern Kingdom over the years.

Shen Sheng felt the strong wind happily and laughed:

"It won't be long before we can witness the most glorious emperor in the history of the Southern Kingdom."

As early as the day when Shen Mo merged with Shen Yebai and woke up, Shen Mo told Shen Sheng about his plan and the reason for the Four Continents War. Only then did Shen Sheng realize that Shen Mo had not had to take it easy for himself in these years.

After years of heartache and pain, the deaths of countless former emperors, and countless blood feuds, they can finally start to fight back!

On the other side, Master Xuanjing had just learned from Qin Moyu that Shen Mo and Shen Yebai were the same person. After being shocked, he clamored to take Qin Moyu to run away, shouting that he could not let his little cabbage fall into the hands of the big bad wolf. In his hands, Qin Moyu, who was unable to laugh or cry, stopped him from arguing, but he also felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere.

After he stopped arguing with reason in his eyes but actually rolling around, he looked sharply in a certain direction, his expression becoming more solemn: "You brat, did you say that there are three levels of transitional tribulation period?"

"That's right." Qin Moyu didn't feel anything was wrong. He just wondered why the wind suddenly blew. But he was thankful after seeing Master Xuanjing calm down.

"...Did you just say that Shen Mo has transcended the third level of tribulation?"

"Well, do you have any questions?" Qin Moyu replied smoothly.

"That's a big problem..." Master Xuanjing's mouth twitched slightly. He looked at the increasingly dense dark clouds above his head and felt extremely heartbroken.

If what Qin Moyu said is correct, then Shen Mo is the only one who can cause such a level of thunder tribulation, but thunder tribulation... only occurs when one breaks through the realm!

Although he knew that Shen Mo would not be able to break through and ascend without the road to heaven, but when he thought that the opponent was only one step away from ascending, he silently lowered his head and glanced at Qin Moyu, who knew nothing, and thought in amusement:

——As expected of my apprentice, all the suitors are so awesome.

…………

Master Xuanjing was right. Although he didn't know what Shen Mo had done to cause the thunder tribulation, without the way to heaven, even if the Jade Emperor came, he couldn't really break through, so the thunder tribulation only gathered for half an hour. It dispersed on its own.

When the thunderstorm dissipated, Shen Sheng also received a message from Shen Mo, telling him that he could start making arrangements for his ascension to the throne.

Zuo Shu and Chen Yi's first reaction when they discovered Lei Jie was to go find Shen Mo. They waited anxiously outside Shen Mo's mansion for half an hour before Shen Mo said "come in".

In front of the desk, Shen Mo, dressed in white, was sitting and reading under the candlelight. It was a face he had seen countless times, but Zuo Shu and Chen Yi felt pressure like they had never experienced before, making them unable to even breathe. Take it easy.

"superior……"

They all wanted to kneel down and salute - although Shen Mo had long told them that they did not need to salute - but now they were in a trance and went back to the first time they saw Shen Mo. Shen Mo's look was enough to make them surrender willingly. .

"Forget about the red tape." Shen Mo interrupted their salute and put down the book in his hand. "You guys can find out about Nan Xun for me. It's time to find Xiang Mei's inheritance."

"yes!"

The two of them responded in unison, and only cautiously stepped back after confirming that Shen Mo had no further instructions.

After leaving Shen Mo's residence for a long time, Zuo Shu finally recovered from her nervous state. She turned around and saw that Chen Yi was also looking embarrassed.

"Did you feel it too?" Zuo Shu patted her chest and said with lingering fear, "I have never felt so small, like an ant that can be easily crushed to death."

Chen Yi twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a wry smile: "I'm about the same. I'm afraid the Emperor has broken through again."

There was no concealment of reverence in his tone.

"And... I don't know if it's my imagination." Zuo Shu calmed down, remembering the few glances she had just seen at Shen Mo, and said tangledly, "Why do I feel that the emperor is different from before... No, It's not different, it's like..."

Zuo Shu racked her brains to figure out who the familiar shadow on Shen Mo's body was, and suddenly realized it when Chen Yi was confused.

"I understand who it looks like! It looks like the split soul of the emperor!" Zuo Shu said decisively, and before Chen Yi could refute, she fell into confusion again, "That's not right... the split souls are fused, aren't they..."

And shouldn’t it be the body of the split soul statue? Why is it now that the main body is like a divided soul?

"Are you feeling wrong?" Chen Yidao said. Unlike Zuo Shu who insisted on cooperating with Shen Yebai to complete the plan, he and Shen Yebai had only met a few times. Even if he knew that he was Shen Mo's split soul, he would not It was completely impossible to connect him with Shen Mo.

Shen Mo would not be as impulsive as Shen Yebai, nor would he fall in love with someone like him.

"Maybe." Zuo Shu murmured to herself, but she could never forget the strong sense of sight.

"Don't think so much, let's complete the mission first." Chen Yi comforted Zuo Shu, so Zuo Shu stopped worrying and went out of the palace to explore with him.

This night is just the beginning.
