Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 391 - 381: The Old Demon Emperor Kicked Out, the New Demon Emperor Cursed by the Celestial Mandate!
After being scolded by his elder brother, Taiyi also closed his mouth and dared not speak.
Di Jun glared at Taiyi, feeling a sense of frustration that he couldn’t live up to expectations.
Thinking to himself, "Kid, don’t make trouble for me at this time."
"What do you mean, not so good? I think it’s great."
"Take it, take it."
Di Jun kept pushing the Golden Crow Egg into Su Mu’s hand, afraid the other party wouldn’t accept it.
"It’s not right, it’s not right."
Su Mu pushed back, refusing.
After a bout of shoving, the Golden Crow Golden Egg accidentally got pushed into the final hidden space of Su Mu’s Dantian Space.
"Ah, this..."
Su Mu indicated his helplessness, then prepared to retrieve the Golden Egg, but the Great Golden Crow quickly stopped him: "Elder, I won’t say much. My third brother following you is its good fortune."
After much talking, Su Mu finally "reluctantly" accepted it: "Ahem, just rest here and heal up in peace."
"Leave whenever you’re healed. If you want to stay long-term, that’s also fine. Anyway, call me if you need anything."
Having received such a heavy gift, Su Mu naturally had to show some generosity in return.
Speaking of which, this Long River is so big, it’s fine to give them a piece of land to reside and heal.
People need to be a bit generous.
After getting Elder Su’s verbal assurance, Di Jun finally felt relieved, as if a big stone pressing on his heart had finally fallen.
With a good place for the third brother to stay, they wouldn’t have to worry and could heal here in peace, and Elder Su said to call him if needed.
In case "that person" really deduced their existence and found them on the River of Time, having Elder Su on their side, even he would have to be somewhat wary when facing the Elder who controls the River of Time, right?
All in all, Di Jun felt he had made a very wise decision.
But Taiyi didn’t think so. He wore an expression of wanting to cry but was unable to, completely not understanding why his elder brother did this, entrusting their third brother to a stranger; wasn’t this pure madness?
He only complained in his heart, not daring to show it. He feared nothing except this elder brother of his.
...
"Elder, how about sitting for a while?"
Di Jun said with a smile.
"Wait for me a moment."
With that, Su Mu soared into the air, overlooking the reservoir, and then performed divine techniques.
With a wave of his hand, the entire reservoir froze into ice instantaneously.
Then he defrosted it, and the water temperature in the reservoir returned to normal.
Seeing this scene, within just a few seconds, it struck Di Jun and Taiyi to the core.
Solidifying the River of Time?!
Within just a few breaths, he restored all the worlds they had destroyed to normal.
Due to their healing, those worlds were essentially "burned out," basically scrapped, and couldn’t possibly recover.
Yet the elder forcibly solidified, cooled, and reshaped the worlds, restoring them to normal. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Such a simple and brutal method, such a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering operation, left the two of them dumbfounded, exceeding their understanding.
...
Though Su Mu allowed these two Golden Crows to heal here, he couldn’t ignore the water areas they destroyed, as it would violate his principles of maintaining order.
[Congratulations Host! You’ve maintained stability and peace, Favor Points +25000]
Twenty-five thousand directly credited at once.
Wow, the damage these guys caused really wasn’t minor!
After finishing everything, Su Mu landed back on the ground and instructed the two Golden Crows: "I won’t interfere with your healing, but it’s confined to this water area, so don’t let it spread out."
Since this water area was already destroyed, the creatures in the river were all dead, and they couldn’t allow the damage to spread further.
"No, this area is already enough."
Di Jun replied understandingly.
"Good."
"Then just heal well, call if you need anything, I can hear you."
Su Mu instructed the two Golden Crows.
"Thank you for your care, Elder." Di Jun said with a smile.
....
After Su Mu left, Di Jun watched his figure disappear at the end of the river, melding into the darkness, and let out a heavy sigh.
He sighed not because he was helpless.
But because he felt relieved.
At this time, Taiyi finally asked: "Brother, is what we’re doing really right?"
"Entrusting the third brother to a stranger, and we don’t even know how he will treat the third brother. What if he refines it, what should we do..."
Taiyi was worried that Su Mu wouldn’t let their third brother be born but would directly refine it.
"No."
"I can see that Elder Su is a broad-minded River Guardian."
"If he were really a reckless killer, why would he tidy up our mess and heal the worlds we burned?"
"In comparison, with the sacrifices of so many worlds, we are the ones who are reckless and indifferent to creatures."
Di Jun said self-mockingly.
Hearing his elder brother’s words, Taiyi had nothing more to say.
"But... the third brother becoming his Spirit Pet has nothing to do with us anymore." Taiyi finally asked the crucial question.
"Second brother, you must understand that fate is not fixed. Everyone has their own destiny. We cannot interfere, cannot bind it."
"The third brother following him will have a better fate."
"And we, we have our own destiny and responsibilities. Currently, the most important thing is... to heal, and don’t worry about anything else."
"We’ve already been kicked out of the game, and how the future game board develops is not something we can interfere with. Preserving strength and being ready to strike is most important."
....
"Okay, I’ll listen to you, elder brother."
.....
Su Mu also hurried back home before dawn.
Once home, he released the little goat.
.....
"Ah Fei, you’re finally back!"
The five little ones smiled brightly upon seeing the little goat rescued.
Unknowingly, Ah Fei’s status at home had also risen significantly. After all, who doesn’t like a treasure hunter?
.....
Su Mu took out the Golden Crow Egg, placed it on the ground, and examined it from all sides.
Because he discovered that the vitality power inside the Golden Crow Egg, though extremely abundant and ready to hatch at any moment, seemed blocked by something, unable to be born.
This was very contradictory.
According to the two Golden Crows, this was their sibling, supposed to be born at the same time.
The two Golden Crows had lived for so many years, but this one was still not born, so... something was wrong, and the issue was significant.
Facing the Golden Crow Egg, Su Mu sat down.
He extended his hands, touching the eggshell, and began to use his cultivation technique to explore the being inside the eggshell.
Suddenly, Su Mu sensed something, abruptly withdrawing his hands.
