Chapter 1930 - 1516: Under the Nine Heavens, Oblivion Water!

"Gu Changsheng often says, if you’re a man, then don’t chicken out! How could I wimp out at a time like this?" Shi Wujue, upon hearing this, lifted a flamboyant grin at Zhou Mu, then looked up at Ta You, who was circling above the top of the Star Innate Tower, and said in a low voice, "Erase their memories, as for the two of us, forget it!"

After saying this, Shi Wujue turned his head again, arched a brow at Zhou Mu and said, "So, you’re not thinking of chickening out and choosing to forget together with them, are you?"

"Haha..." Zhou Mu chuckled lightly at that, his face, like a Divine Residence, full of disdain as he looked at Shi Wujue and said, "Do you think this king is inferior to you?"

Though their mouths were tossing out careless words and their faces carried smiles, the depths of their eyes as they met were filled with grave solemnity!

To choose to remember was to choose burdens, to choose fear!

Yet at this very moment, they no longer had any other choice!

If even they shrank back and chose to forget, then what they had seen today would be remembered by no one; if, on the road ahead, they were to encounter danger again, who would be able to protect the woman at their side?

Gu Changsheng.

She was the deepest concern in the hearts of Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue!

If these memories were a weight she could not bear, then let that weight be borne by the two of them in her stead!

Exchanging a look, both Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue revealed a knowing smile on their faces!

They had fallen in love with a woman...

They had fallen in love with the same woman...

Though they might not be able to possess her, they firmly believed that their love was in no way lesser than the other’s!

"Since you already have your decision in your hearts, I won’t say more. As for the road ahead, you’ll be on your own." Suspended amidst the mottled star patterns, Ta You’s small Phantom sighed at their words, then lifted his small hand and pointed toward the two of them...

A faint golden radiance immediately overflowed from Ta You’s hand...

Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue watched that faint golden light beam sweep toward their bodies, and both their pupils shrank...

This faint golden light was all too familiar to them!

They had just seen it in those memories belonging to the Ancient Wilderness Times, seen it on the body of the Ancient Wilderness Supreme Deity!

Ta You was the continuation of the will of the Ancient Wilderness Supreme Deity; even his power, just like that of the Ancient Wilderness Supreme Deity, was faint gold in color!

This bit of insight made Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue all the more wary of Ta You!

However, they still did not resist that faint golden light entering their respective bodies!

Because they could feel that this faint golden power held no killing intent!

"Matters of the Ancient Wilderness cannot be pursued. If you wish to walk out of the Star Innate Tower alive, then leave behind everything you have seen and heard today! I have stripped away your memories of this day!" Watching those two strands of faint golden light sink into Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue, Ta You at the top of the tower lowered his head once again, looking down at everyone below except Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue, including Gu Changsheng, who was still unconscious!

Standing behind Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue, Yuan Bao, Qiwowen Du and the others exchanged looks, bitter smiles spreading across their faces.

Well, Ta You really couldn’t be called someone easy to talk to; Ta You had given Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue room to choose, but he hadn’t given them any choice at all!

With things already said to this point, and having witnessed Ta You’s abilities, at this moment they only had two options: either, as Ta You said, leave behind their memories of everything they had seen and heard today, or leave behind their lives!

Put nicely, this was a multiple-choice question; put bluntly, there was no choice here at all!

Would they really choose death just for the sake of a few memories?

Come on, once you’re dead you’re dead, what’s the point of clinging so desperately to these memories?

"Um, could you be a bit gentler? I’m afraid of pain!" Yuan Bao’s round, jade-like body shrank back behind Zhou Mu, looking at Ta You with some fear.

Having memories stripped away—just thinking about it felt brutally cruel, making Yuan Bao’s brain ache!

Was Ta You going to pry open their skulls and take their memories out?

If that happened, could they still stay alive?

Yuan Bao thought this in his heart, but didn’t dare voice it; what if Ta You hadn’t intended to crack open his skull, but after hearing his thoughts suddenly decided to?

There would be nowhere to appeal such injustice!

He was not that stupid!

Ta You naturally would not answer such a brainless question from Yuan Bao; lowering his head, he swept a glance over the more than a hundred people standing there, raised his hands slightly, and then threads of faint golden power, carrying shimmering water ripples, instantly surged toward the sixth floor of the Star Innate Tower!

As soon as Yuan Bao saw those shimmering water ripples, his eyes went wide in terror!

Godfather, Fourth Auntie Grandma, they had just been scared out of their wits by those towering waves in the memories of the Ancient Wilderness Times; now, at the sight of even a bit of water, they felt a fear rising from the bottom of their hearts!

"Ooh... you’re not planning to drown us, are you? If we drown, we’ll forget everything anyway, won’t we?" Watching the water ripples sweeping down from the top of the tower, Yuan Bao felt his whole being go bad, clutching tightly at his lord’s sleeve, trembling as he spoke.

At this moment, not only Yuan Bao, even Qiwowen Du, Diluo Han and the others all wanted to flee in panic, okay?

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you’ll fear even a well rope for ten years; under those waves in the Ancient Wilderness Times, they had suffered no small losses!

At this moment, in their hearts, nothing was more fatal than water!

Yet Ta You just had to conjure up water ripples now; how was this erasing their memories? This was clearly a setup to let water flood the Star Innate Tower and drown them all!

"I don’t want to die yet! I haven’t married a wife!"

Watching the watery light pour straight down toward his forehead, Qiwowen Du was so scared he was almost crying!

He had only just gotten engaged to Diao Chan and hadn’t even had time to marry her home yet; he absolutely did not want to die a senseless drowning death here!

"Woo! I don’t want to die, don’t want to die!"

Yuan Bao also let out a loud yell!

Behind them, Diluo Han and the others’ cries of refusal rose one after another. This shimmering wave of water was basically the rope of the well in their hearts right now, wasn’t it? It was a truly fatal existence!

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"..."

But no matter how they refused, that pale-golden wave rushing down from the top of the tower still covered their bodies and faces as it splashed over them...

The rippling water-light came close and sprinkled over their heads and faces.

There was the sound of water, but no sense of wetness!

The suffocating feeling they had expected never arrived. A look of post-disaster relief immediately overflowed on Yuan Bao’s face. He slapped at the water-light on his face and said excitedly, "It doesn’t drown you? This water doesn’t drown people? Huh, how come it doesn’t even get clothes wet, what a weird feeling..."

As he spoke, Yuan Bao even reached out his hand, wanting to scoop up a handful of water to play with...

"Don’t touch it! Under the Nine Heavens, this Oblivion Water—if you touch it too much, you’ll lose all your memories, your whole life will turn into a blank sheet of paper!"

At the top of the tower, Ta You’s voice drifted over faintly...

The hand Yuan Bao had just stretched out instantly froze...

"Un...Under the Nine Heavens’ Oblivion Water? This...this thing, could it be that legendary Oblivion Soup?"

Yuan Bao was a hundred percent sure that when he said this, his tongue was tied, and his throat was involuntarily moving in a swallowing motion!

Oblivion Soup!

Legend says, after you die, you have a bowl, forget the affairs of your previous life, then go reincarnate!

Could it be that today they were so lucky—no, so pitiful—as to actually get a taste of what it’s like to wash your face with Oblivion Soup?

This really was...

Yuan Bao dumbly lifted his head that had just been rinsed by Oblivion Water, staring bright-eyed up toward Ta You at the top of the tower...

Could he say that this damn Ta You was really extravagant, really wasteful?

Doesn’t matter if it’s Oblivion Water or Oblivion Soup, they’re all treasures, okay? Using it for a bath is just way too wasteful!

Could he find a bottle to fill a little?

Of course, Yuan Bao only dared to grumble like this in his heart. Even if he had a thief’s heart, he didn’t have a thief’s guts!

Not to mention Ta You wasn’t easy to get along with to begin with—just look at that identity: the continuation of the Ancient Wilderness Supreme Deity’s will. It was enough to scare a person to death!

Ancient Wilderness...

Ancient Wilderness...

Ancient Wilderness what again?

Yuan Bao suddenly felt his head grow heavy and his feet light. Whatever he’d been thinking just now suddenly became hazy and blurred at this moment...

Yuan Bao instinctively raised a hand and patted his head that seemed to have suddenly turned to mush, and then...

Then that one pat was all it took—Yuan Bao’s perfectly round body let out a huge boom and collapsed to the ground!

"I...I..."

In his mouth, he only had time to murmur these two words before Yuan Bao’s consciousness vanished...

And after Yuan Bao, Qiwowen Du and the others met with almost the exact same fate!

When they sensed the thoughts in their minds turning fuzzy, they instinctively raised their hands to pat their heads...

And then they were knocked down by their very own hands, plain and simple...

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"..."

Inside the Star Innate Tower, the sounds of people collapsing rose one after another, while Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue seemed to be isolated outside that pale-golden rippling water altogether, as if there were a barrier over their bodies. They were not affected by the wash of Oblivion Water in the slightest!

Yet at this moment, they had no mood to care about what was happening to Yuan Bao and the rest. Instead, they stared in shock at the woman in their arms...

Gu Changsheng!

Around her body there also seemed to be an invisible barrier, blocking the approach of the Oblivion Water...

Seeing this, Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue’s hearts instantly clenched tight...

Ta You had said that everything they had just seen was a weight that Gu Changsheng’s life could not bear. The meaning of those words was that if she could not forget that segment of memory, she would not be able to wake up!

But now that she was shielding herself from the wash of Oblivion Water, how could she possibly forget that memory?
