Supreme Tamer

Chapter 1830: Chapter 1687 No Chu Mu

The sunshine was just a fleeting moment, it didn’t last long.

The world once again descended into darkness. More terrifyingly, countless black holes appeared in the sky, forcibly pulling everything from the ground into a death dimension.

The surface kept cracking, exposing deep abyss bottoms without end. Rampant space storms freely swept through the human land, countless unnoticed lives turned to blood rain within the storm.

The human land was pitch black, in the Red Fire Day, Chu Mu could see nothing.

However, he knew the world was collapsing, the northern territory couldn’t escape its fate either!

As the world’s collapse became more severe, Chu Mu’s emotions grew immensely restless. He started ramming against the barrier like the Ancestral Sky Demon.

He must return, or else they would perish along with the entire world!

"Chu Mu!! Chu Mu!!!!"

Suddenly, a voice floated over from the Star River.

Chu Mu thought he was hallucinating, he ignored it.

Gradually, the voice came closer, and as he looked up, he found that a graceful silhouette had crashed into the Red Fire Day, heading towards him.

Chu Mu was stunned, was it Ye Qingzi?

How could she know he was here, why would she run into the Red Fire Day?

No, if she barges in here, the flames would burn her to ashes!

Chu Mu wanted to shout a warning, but suddenly Ye Qingzi transformed into another person...

The flames didn’t engulf her, she drew closer to Chu Mu, even... she opened the Hell’s Gate, throwing herself into this eternal solitude.

Watching her, Chu Mu was utterly puzzled, with a hint of desolation.

"Why is it you?" Chu Mu asked her, his expression melancholic.

"Time is short, let’s not discuss this now. The Totem Believer Women have rearranged the Solar Eclipse Array, but we can’t gather enough Red Fire Day energy before all the Heavenly Boundary Monuments collapse. We must rely on your power." The Human Mother said.

"What should I do?" Chu Mu asked immediately.

How he loathed seeing the world crumble, his beloved facing demise in the apocalypse. This was the cruelest of all!

"Soon they’ll activate the Solar Eclipse Array, you need to control the surrounding Red Fire Day energy, channel it through the array’s bridge into the Sky City. This might provide enough energy to sustain the Heavenly Boundary Monuments!" The Human Mother explained.

Chu Mu nodded earnestly, following the Human Mother’s instructions.

"Help me set up an array diagram here to synchronize with the Sky City’s array, accelerating the infusion of power." The Human Mother continued.

Chu Mu hadn’t had the chance to ask why the Human Mother wasn’t burned by the flames, but she had already started drawing with her totem power.

...

The Human Mother drew for a long time, Chu Mu noticed four Heavenly Boundary Monuments had already collapsed.

Without the support of four monuments, the world was truly overwhelmed, the dead lifeforms probably exceeded twenty percent.

Finally, the Human Mother’s totem was arranged.

She placed Chu Mu in the center, guiding the Red Fire Day’s energy infusion using the Heart of Red Fire.

Soon, the Twelve Bridge Locks reappeared, piercing from the Sky City through the Star River, reaching the Red Fire Day.

Chu Mu didn’t overthink, starting to absorb Red Fire Day energy continuously, injecting it into the Heavenly Palace, hoping to preserve this fragile world before more monuments fell...

The Human Mother sat beside Chu Mu, she might not channel the raging power, but she could alleviate Chu Mu’s mental fatigue.

The fiery burning energy began to pour, making the entire Sky City glow red, seemingly about to be completely scorched.

The undying strong ones, seeing the monument collapses, finally realized the Human Mother wasn’t exaggerating, the world was indeed collapsing.

They began channeling their undying power, transferring the energy Chu Mu and the Human Mother infused from the Red Fire Day into the monuments, striving for sufficient time.

After an unknown duration, the infusion seemed effective, the worsening world exhibited a clear halt.

Once more time passed, the broken spaces began self-repair...

Once repair appeared, it meant the world was starting to recover, no further monument collapse followed.

...

Seeing the world’s collapse stop, the Human Mother finally sighed with relief.

She glanced at the visibly exhausted Chu Mu, deep in voice: "There’s something I haven’t told you."

Chu Mu looked at her, but didn’t respond.

"When I fashioned the Heart of Red Fire for you, I intended to use this method to mend the sky, so... I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have deceived you, only I didn’t foresee you yourself..." The Human Mother confessed, somewhat ashamed.

"Can we leave here?" Chu Mu interrupted her, simply asking a question.

The Human Mother looked into Chu Mu’s eyes, and after a long time, she shook her head sadly.

"No matter what, it was you who vanquished the strongest demon and resolved the crisis faced by the Heavenly Palace. On behalf of all living beings, I thank you..." the Human Mother said.

Chu Mu shook his head at the gratitude of all living beings.

He didn’t need it, nor was it necessary. He was just protecting the people he cared about, unrelated to all living beings.

Now he only wanted to leave this hollow flame world and return to their side. This place was truly too lonely, too lonely...

The Human Mother saw what Chu Mu truly wanted. She reached out and gently pressed her hand on the back of Chu Mu’s hand.

She bit her lip and whispered in a voice so low that only she herself could hear, "I will accompany you here."

When she spoke those words, Chu Mu even felt as though Ye Qingzi was the one saying them, because the Human Mother really resembled her too much, too much.

If it were truly Ye Qingzi, Chu Mu would feel some comfort in his heart.

Unfortunately, the Human Mother is the Human Mother, and Ye Qingzi is Ye Qingzi. Even if the Human Mother could transform in endless ways, reflecting the woman he most loved from his heart, she was ultimately a substitute.

"I can’t stay with you for too long..." the Human Mother said softly.

"You can leave?" Chu Mu asked.

"No, your heart is formed by the Red Fire Daylight. This place itself is your domain. Any other life form close to the Red Fire Daylight would be reduced to ashes. I can enter here without being burned because my physique has been nurtured by Divine Dew for a very, very long time. Even so, I can only accompany you here for a year," the Human Mother said.

"A year... actually, it’s quite long," Chu Mu said.

The Human Mother shook her head.

Is a year long?

A year is very short, very short. Chu Mu’s life now can be said to last as long as the Red Fire Day does not perish...

After a year, Chu Mu will face ten years alone, a century alone, a millennium alone, ten thousand years alone...

Even longer than ten thousand years.

For something lasting ten thousand years, a year is already very short.

Moreover, Chu Mu has to endure countless ten thousand years...

In such a long expanse of time, Chu Mu could only live by memory until one day when all those unforgettable memories were entirely forgotten, and he became a walking dead within the Red Fire Day.

...

...

Finally, the Heavenly Boundary Monument stood once more.

The turbulent world was once again stable.

The Red Fire Day also finally began its normal trajectory, and light truly returned to the continent.

Morning sun, mists, fresh air, crystalline dew, the running soul pets.

Noon, scorching sun, warmth or intense heat, the sweat from the Soul Pet Masters’ cultivation, the blood spilled from soul pets battling each other.

Dusk, setting sun, red clouds and afterglow, weary wanderers returning home, demon beasts crouching in caves asleep.

Sunrise and sunset, a day quietly departs like this.

Living beings gradually forgot that dark period and set foot anew on the path of becoming stronger through battle, struggle, and slaughter, as did countless soul pet trainers.

And all of this fell into one person’s eyes.

He lay in the scorching flames, with his hands behind his head, gazing up at the living continent...

Wherever light shone, he could see.

After the woman who accompanied him for a year left, his desire to find an exit also extinguished. Often, he didn’t even want to move, just quietly watching the Mortal World, watching the people and soul pets he knew, seeing how they thrived even without him.

Ning Man’er embarked on a path of her own. She learned various abilities, alleviated people’s illnesses and disasters, and revitalized barren lands. She traversed every place in the Human Land, receiving boundless admiration and respect.

Little Dream of Death was inseparable, never leaving Ning Man’er’s side, like a loyal guard.

Ye Qingzi remained in the North City, cultivating a delicate medicine garden. In the springtime, the mountains and fields bloomed beautifully, draping her in mesmerizing splendor. She tended to them alone slowly...

The relationship between Chu Tianmang and Liu Binglan still seemed not as harmonious as Chu Mu imagined, though it did not appear as though they were enemies meeting...

They probably still needed a longer time to reconcile.

Princess Jinrou, after receiving the healing of the Naihe Flower, appeared noble and elegant, yet deep down she had an adventurous spirit. Having true life now, she began traveling with her father Bai Yu to seek answers to unresolved mysteries...

Ye Wansheng, the playboy, finally married Shen Yue, and they had two children.

Mu Qingyi finally encountered someone who was relentless towards her, but unfortunately, she could never open her heart to that man.

Chao Lengchuan was still waiting bitterly, Xia Zhixian had not returned for a long time, and he was very worried that Xia Zhixian had abandoned him.

However, Chu Mu did not think so.

Because Xia Zhixian has always been by Yu Suo’s side, taking care of her.

Yu Suo seemed like a different person, she no longer set foot in the Mortal World but wandered everywhere.

To the beautiful mountains, to the polar ice rivers, stepping into the vast desert, to the magnificent Ocean...

After all, when she was in the Heavenly Palace, she longed for all of these in the Human Land. When everything was let go, her wish was just to walk and see...

They were all doing quite well, not as bad as one might imagine, which was a comfort to Chu Mu.

Indeed, it is often said that losing someone would make life unlivable, but in fact, when that person is really gone, life still continues, and eventually, one will adapt.

...

This is what Chu Mu thinks, comforting his lonely self in this way.

But is it really so?

In the night after sunset, when Chu Mu could no longer see them, their tear-stained faces were invisible to him.

There are always some people who never cry in sunlight, fearing being seen by someone.

So they hide in the corners of darkness...

...

Every night, Chu Mu begins to search for an exit.

He still refuses to give up because he fears one thing greatly.

The fear of watching those familiar people age before his eyes...

He should grow old with them, so he will not give up searching for a way out.

...

On the Flame Rock Mountain, Chu Mu opened his sleepy eyes, instinctively reaching out to hold the sleeping person beside him.

Instead, there was nothing but emptiness.

He almost forgot that the person who had accompanied him for one year had already been mercilessly consumed by the flames.

She should have meant nothing, but when she left, Chu Mu felt an unbearable pain, never expecting solitude to be this frightful.

Chu Mu closed his eyes and continued to sleep, as only in sleep could he forget certain things.

"Woo woo woo woo woo~~~~~~~~~woo woo woo~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Suddenly, a deeply familiar sound came from a very far place.

Chu Mu opened his eyes.

It was noon, and the Red Fire Daylight hung right at the center of the Ten Thousand Dragon Abyss.

The sound came from there!!

Looking across a vast distance, Chu Mu saw a figure so familiar that it could not be more so.

It had silver fur, fluffy ears, swinging nine long tails, and it was raising its head howling at the Red Fire Daylight.

"Mo Ye..." Chu Mu woke up instantly.

"Woo woo woo woo woo woo~~~~~~~~~~~~"

The fierce wind howled, and the silver fur fluttered as the lonely Mo Ye stood fiercely calling at the edge of the Ten Thousand Dragon Abyss.

It had slept for a very long time in the Ten Thousand Dragon Abyss.

When it woke up, the world seemed to have changed, yet also unchanged.

These meant nothing to it; what mattered was that Chu Mu had not returned.

Like a child without security, it started running around the Ten Thousand Dragon Abyss.

It randomly spewed flames, aimlessly howled at the sky...

The piercing howls and anxious whimpers made Chu Mu unable to control his emotions anymore.

He could be separated from a loved one, parted from family, bid farewell to friends, but how could he bear for Mo Ye to wake up and not find him!

On Fire Flame Mountain, the inwardly empty Chu Mu suddenly leapt up.

He transformed into a flaming meteor, hurtling fiercely toward the prohibition of the Red Fire Daylight!

"Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

With repeated strikes, Chu Mu broke open a path of blazing light through the entire world on the Red Fire Daylight.

Chu Mu had never been so terrified.

He could watch those familiar people slowly grow old, because apart from him, they had things they cared about to continue their lives...

But, Mo Ye did not.

Mo Ye only had Chu Mu. If it couldn’t find Chu Mu, where could it go, and what would it do?

It was entirely accustomed to Chu Mu’s shoulder; how could it adapt to the cold rocks...

...

"Woo woo woo woo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Mo Ye’s howls continuously echoed over the Ten Thousand Dragon Abyss.

It seemed to know that Chu Mu was in a higher place, it started moving, stepping on Space and running wildly, its silver fur gracefully flying.

Suddenly, Mo Ye stopped running.

Its steps slowed down.

Turning around, it returned to the Ten Thousand Dragon Abyss.

It spewed a jet of flames onto the sunken rock, extinguished them with its feet, then lay down there.

It curled up with its tails, rested its head on one of its tails, and made a soft sound with its mouth...

...

The red glow of the Setting Sun spilled onto Mo Ye’s silver fur, elongating its shadow.

Watching the gradually descending setting sun, Mo Ye’s fluffy ears suddenly perked up and then supported itself to stand.

It took a few steps toward the mountain top edge, those silver eyes watching the setting sun about to sink, the nine tails still gently swaying...

Gradually, the slanting sun turned into the setting sun, looking like a pupil filled with red tears, as if they could drip anytime.

Mo Ye stood there, staring at the setting sun...

Finally, the setting sun went down, the world slowly enveloped in darkness.

Mo Ye’s gaze darkened along with the night, it slowly turned around and returned to the place it lay just now, desolately lying there, blinking only after a long time.

...

A ray of morning light broke through, the first to bathe in the glow was also the Ten Thousand Dragon Abyss.

In a place still half-dark, a silver agile and beautiful Little Fox hurriedly ran to the east of the Ten Thousand Dragon Abyss, rushing to the mountain top’s edge, feeling the first ray of sunlight.

By dusk, this Little Fox would hurry to the west mountain top’s edge again, then watch the setting sun slowly go down...

...

...

Beneath the Ten Thousand Dragon Abyss, three large figures slowly emerged.

Among them, there was a Blood Barbarian Dragon, whose strength should have reached the immortal level. The other two were winged creatures, seeming like a very rare species, never documented before.

On the back of the three Soul Pets were three Soul Pet Masters, two men and one woman.

"Hey, Tang Jun, what did I tell you, there’s actually not a single dragon in the Ten Thousand Dragon Abyss. There hasn’t been one for many years, but you just wouldn’t believe it," said the tall man riding the winged creature.

"Indeed, but being able to stand in the highest place of the World is a pretty good experience, isn’t it?" said the youth named Tang Jun.

"Ah, what a cute Little Fox!!" Suddenly, the female Soul Pet Trainer exclaimed in delight.

Tang Jun and the tall man looked, and indeed they found a delicate and cute Little Fox lying there, its appearance exquisite and endearing, making one desire to hold it in an embrace upon sight.

"Nine tails, silver fur? What kind of fox is this, a very rare breed."

"What’s this little guy doing lying here?"
