Chapter 454 Finally remembered?
Chapter 454 Finally remembered?
"Be careful of the dream world!" Another small voice came from Xiaoguang's mouth, but at this moment, when the cold-relieving pill in Su Mohui's palm emitted a cold blue flame, she finally understood the sadness surging in Huo Yuan's eyes.
What blossomed from the young man's heart was not blood, but countless tiny puppet threads, each tied with the broken life lamp of the god. It was proof that the glory was gone, as if telling a tragic story that had been buried in the dust.
"So it's you..." Su Mohui muttered to herself, her hand, having crushed the pill, tracing through the folds of time and space, attempting to find the crucial cold-repelling pill. However, what her fingertips touched was not the remains of Suiren, but a sticky, icy sensation, as if touching the body of some sinister creature.
She looked closely and saw that within Huo Yuan's shattered chest, half of the Samsara Seal was frantically devouring Xiao Guang's puppet threads. The Cthulhu tentacles wrapped around it were pulsating in unison with the dark blue blood vessels beneath the boy's pale skin.
The sacred tree let out a shrill cry that pierced the heavens and earth, a sound like the trumpet of the end of the world, terrifying everyone. Thousands of compound eyes exploded simultaneously, and the asphalt-like liquid that splashed out quickly solidified in the air, unexpectedly transforming into the appearance of Su Mohui.
The evil "she" walked slowly towards them, stepping on the skull of the god. Every step she took carried an endless sense of oppression. In the armillary sphere held in her palm, Xiaoguang's "soul" was sealed.
"In the twenty-eighth reincarnation, I finally caught this puppet worm that steals time." The evil Su Mohui smiled and pulled the silver thread. Xiaoguang in reality suddenly coughed out broken internal organs, each of which was covered with octopus suckers. The scene was cruel and horrifying.
Su Mohui's reincarnation seal was fully awakened at this moment, emitting a powerful and mysterious force. The Rebirth Mirror seemed to feel the call of this power, and it flipped through the pages rapidly, revealing a shocking truth on the yellowed pages.
After 379 years of the Fanhai calendar, the Netherworld Palace Master failed in her seventh reincarnation attempt. To save her, Ji Lingguang of the Ninth Heaven forcibly cut out half of his own soul, allowing him to enter the destined dimension. After creating a substitute puppet, he sought a method from Emperor Zhuanxu to enter this world, and finally, with the Palace Master's remaining soul, he entered the rift between time and space.
"What a perfect reincarnation." The evil Su Mohui summoned a curtain of light with a flick of her finger, reflecting the final chapters of the reincarnations of the past generations - in the third reincarnation, Xiao Guang was pierced through the spirit platform by a tree root, in the tenth reincarnation, Huo Yuan committed suicide in the blood pool, and in the sixteenth time, Ji Lingguang was eroded by the restraining system... Each of these endings was ignited and burned by her own hands!
The roots of the sacred tree suddenly pierced the egg. Su Mohui, in the excruciating pain, saw clearly that at the ends of those tentacles gnawing at the god were her face. On the outermost tentacle, the latest face was taking shape—it was her at that moment!
"Admit it." The voice of another "Su Mohui" overlapped with Cthulhu's, "You enjoy the pleasure of killing gods..."
While murmuring, Su Mohui saw that under the puppet mask in front of her that shone with the luster of mother-of-pearl, Xiaoguang was being slowly devoured by Cthulhu's neurotoxin. He used his life to fight for every chance of reincarnation for Su Mohui.
"Sister... hurry..." Caught between reality and fantasy, Xiaoguang's broken left hand suddenly pierced her chest. The moment the puppeteer's life-giving silver thread shattered her heart, Su Mohui saw a horrifying scene—
Deep within the young man's spirit platform was locked a half-god body, and the face wrapped in tentacles was clearly Ji Lingguang! It turned out that he had paid such a painful price to protect her.
The cold flame of the Cold-Repelling Pill finally burned away all its illusions, its power bursting to its limit. The bone knife on Huo Yuan's heart shattered, revealing the soul fire sealed within.
However, within the flame that should have been pure and clean, there was actually a Cthulhu egg wrapped around it, and countless compound eyes were staring at the world through the flames, as if plotting a bigger conspiracy.
"Is this the cold-repelling elixir you requested?" a hoarse, mocking voice emanated from the earth, like the whisper of a demon. The sacred tree's roots suddenly arched, and He Bo's tattered body emerged from the earth. Fine cracks opened on his barnacle-covered face, revealing the aged features of Suiren.
In the jade box in his hand, twelve cold-relieving pills refined by Su Mohui were wriggling strangely. Each pill had grown octopus tentacles, as if eroded by evil forces.
The Rebirth Mirror suddenly shone with golden light, and a flood of sealed memories swept through Su Mohui's sea of consciousness like a broken dam. She finally remembered everything - this wasn't a mission to save the world at all!
Whether it was ten thousand years ago or the night of the gods' fall ten years ago, it was she who personally planted the flame of rebirth into the altars of the gods.
Those so-called immortals who sacrificed their lives for the cause were actually humanoid weapons she had transformed into to fight against Cthulhu! She had been living in a world of lies and escapes, and all these sins needed her to face and redeem herself.
"Palace Master finally remembered?"
The barnacles on He Bo's face fell off, revealing the face of Beidou Taoist. "When you took my immortal bone to replace the Jianmu branch, you were not so indecisive."
His words were full of resentment and ridicule, which made Su Mohui feel full of guilt.
The sacred tree went completely berserk at this moment, its power reaching an unprecedented peak. The fallen corpses of the gods in its canopy began to rapidly piece together, fusing into a thousand-foot-tall incarnation of Cthulhu.
Su Mohui's reincarnation seal flew uncontrollably towards the monster's eyebrows. At this critical moment, Xiaoguang's broken body crashed into the divine body first.
"Don't look..." The boy's final words, mingled with the murmur of electricity, carried a mixture of tenderness and reluctance. Puppetry threads wove a star pattern across the divine body. Su Mohui watched helplessly as his white hair gradually turned black, his rampaging tentacles gently wrapping around his neck.
It turns out that this is the real "Puppet King", the Cthulhu container she personally cultivated in the endless reincarnation!
At this moment, he used his life to build the last line of defense for her!
The cold flame of the Anti-Frost Pill suddenly surged, illuminating the entire dark world. Fire Kite was reborn from the ashes, his red hair fading to snow, and the same puppet emblem as Xiaoguang's appeared in his left eye.
The fire in his hand illuminated the sky, revealing the horrifying truth: the entire Suiming Kingdom was built on the back of a giant Cthulhu creature, and the so-called sacred tree was just one of its tentacles! They had been living on the edge of danger, unaware of it.
"Welcome home, Lord of the Netherworld Palace." Huo Yuan and Xiao Guang's voices rang out simultaneously, as if from another time and space. "In this reincarnation game that has lasted for ten thousand years, have you found the answer you were looking for?"
The voice echoed between heaven and earth, like a question to her, and also like the end of this long nightmare.
The Rebirth Mirror crumbled to dust in Su Mohui's palm, dispersing with the wind. The final piece of her memory fell into place: there was no mission to save the world; the so-called reincarnation was merely a fantasy she had created to escape her sins. The bottle of cold-repelling elixir destined for Suiren was the final key to Cthulhu's awakening!
