The Charm of Soul Pets

Chapter 1759

As expected, the snow and wind disasters stopped after a few days. Zhengming Continent’s western region welcomed sunlight again.


The royalties and eight major factions were not confident in eliminating Ancient Flood Dragon Person, they would probably choose to give up the western region of Zhengming Continent to Ancient Flood Dragon Person.


The Solar Eclipse was also approaching, n.o.body knew how long they could still see sunlight.


As New Moon Land’s west kept getting hara.s.sed by those awakened subordinates of Ancient Flood Dragon Person, more and more cities suffered disasters. The roads in the entire Zhengming Continent’s western region would probably be filled with migrants.


Now, even New Moon Land also started to have people migrating away.


The threat from Ancient Flood Dragon Person far surpa.s.sed the war. New Moon Land would never be able to survive. More and more people realized that Solar Eclipse would be a darkness era. Those without sufficient strength would only die if they stayed in Zhengming Continent’s western region.


As such, New Moon Palace had to consider this serious problem.


After the final discussion, New Moon Land’s citizens must migrate.


It was not that Chu Mu gave up on opposing Ancient Flood Dragon Person. It was because even if they continued to oppose Ancient Flood Dragon Person, the tiny New Moon Land would easily be destroyed from the leak of energy in a battle against a creature at the level of Ancient Flood Dragon Person.


Liu Binglan had already planned how New Moon Land should migrate. They would migrate directly to the Northern Territory they owned.


After the New Moon Land war, the royalty returned Northern Territory which was originally under requisition to New Moon Land.


Matters like these were rather redundant, New Moon Land would naturally not let them do as they pleased after displaying its strength.


Northern Territory was bigger than New Moon Land, on par with a seventh rank Border. New Moon Land’s citizens would be temporarily settling in Northern Territory after migrating.


Of course, there would be people asking such a question: Since New Moon Land would be migrating anyway, was there any meaning in fighting that war which paid such a heavy price?


That war was necessary. Being forced to migrate was similar to a race getting exiled. They would not possess any dignity no matter where they went. Furthermore, Northern Territory would still be under the royalty’s management, migrating to Northern Territory was the same as living under others.


However, the migration New Moon Land carried out now was completely different. New Moon Land had become a blood-stained flag. New Moon Land members held a completely different position in human territory. Although they temporarily gave up on the abundant resources in New Moon Land in this migration, with their current resources, they could also develop into a powerful independent faction. There would be no faction daring to harm New Moon Land.


Apart from humans, there were other races in New Moon Land. The Nightmare race, Flower Demon race, Ocean Species and Devil Soul race.


They had a harsher requirement for living conditions. This was the biggest headache to Chu Mu.


Chu Mu already sent people to look for suitable places for living in Northern Territory. The Flower Demon race was still fine as they could live in cities. Xia Zhixian was in charge of nurturing them.


The Ocean Species, Nightmare race and Devil Soul race were very unique. They could only live in special environments. There would be more troubles for them to migrate.


The Nightmare race and Devil Soul race could be considered bound to each other. Devil Souls required a powerful race to protect them.


Chu Mu’s intention was to migrate the Nightmare race in Nightmare Holy Region further north in the Northern Territory. He would prepare a piece of territory which barely fit the conditions for Nightmare race and Devil Soul race to live in.


Whether their independent territories would be destroyed or not was difficult to tell. He could only make such arrangements for those races temporarily. Everything would wait until they returned to New Moon Land.


As for Ocean Species, East Ocean’s Ocean Lord had already took various measures, so he did not have to worry about that.


The migration started on the second month after the snow ended. They migrated towards Northern Territory city by city.


Lin Mengling and Magistrate Xiao sent many experts from Divine Sect to escort New Moon Land’s migration to ensure that they could safely reach Northern Territory.


......


Migration was a long process. Not everyone could be as fast as soul pet trainers.


Chu Mu would only take one day to make a round trip between New Moon Land and Northern Territory, but those Emperor rank or Monarch rank soul pets transporting normal people would take one or two years.


If a normal person walked by himself, he might not even reach Northern Territory in decades. There were many normal people in New Moon Land who never took the path of a soul pet trainer. Chu Mu could not make these people walk by themselves, since they might already take years to walk from the western end of New Moon Land to the eastern end......


Fortunately, Divine Sect, Elemental Clan, Demon Beast Palace and various large borders were willing to a.s.sist. They would provide a large number of mounts in every border to help the people without soul pets to migrate. The City Lords would provide pre-arranged living s.p.a.ces for New Moon Land’s citizens whenever they arrived at a city.


This was the difference between winning and losing the war. If they lost, New Moon Land’s citizens would be treated like refugees. They might not even be able to enter the city, leaving aside the mounts, food and living s.p.a.ces.


Such a migration would naturally not cause New Moon Land’s citizens to suffer. Once this disaster ended, they could return to New Moon Land any moment.


......


Wanxiang City had become empty before one realized.


Everyone had migrated, the entire city only had a few people staying behind to handle some matters.


Chu Mu naturally stayed behind. He stood on the highest palace on Wanxiang Altar and looked down at the empty city. He felt a sense of loss in his heart.


Perhaps, this was how it felt before a disaster arrived. Everywhere was dead silent. There were no laughters or crowds......


Wanxiang City, too many unforgettable events happened in this city. Many people died in the war to protect here, and everyone left here due to the approaching disaster now......


However, Chu Mu would not leave here.


If everyone left, who would take on Ancient Flood Dragon Person? Who would take back this land?


Chu Mu knew that his current strength was not enough to oppose that guy. However, he would kill all those subordinates which awakened. He would never allow them to take one step into New Moon Land!


......


“Chu Mu,” A gentle voice called out from behind.


Chu Mu stood there like a statue which had been crafted long ago, only waking up when someone called out his name.


He turned around and wrapped his arm around Ye Qingzi.


“Can we also go with them?” pleaded Ye Qingzi in Chu Mu’s bosom.


Undying rank Ancient Flood Dragon Person, this was a deadly existence.


Why should Chu Mu take on such a terrifying existence by himself?


Ye Qingzi did not care whether New Moon Land could survive or not, she cared about Chu Mu’s safety.


Now that New Moon Land’s citizens were migrated, they could just offer this land to that Ancient Flood Dragon Person. There was no need to fight a meaningless battle with their lives on the line.


Chu Mu did not answer. He just understood a matter a while ago.


“Chu Mu?” Ye Qingzi looked at him.


Chu Mu kissed her forehead and spoke, “Ning Maner told me a sentence before. Only when one stands at a certain height can one see the truth behind matters...... Honestly speaking, I also don’t want to face an enemy I have no hopes of winning. However, if I don’t face it, I will face another enemy.”


“Another enemy? Is that enemy even stronger than Ancient Flood Dragon Person?” Ye Qingzi was confused.


“Yes, to me, this enemy is an existence impossible to win against,” Chu Mu nodded.


“You cannot avoid it?” asked Ye Qingzi.


“I have been avoiding it for a long time. I don’t understand it in the past, but now, I know avoiding it is meaningless. I have to face it eventually,” said Chu Mu.


“Monument Tear Individual?” Ye Qingzi immediately reached such a conclusion.


Chu Mu nodded.


The ident.i.ty of Monument Tear Individual was a restriction. Rather, after Chu Mu reforged his soul through the Monument Tear, he was tightly bound by this ident.i.ty. He had to continue walking on this path.


“Why?” Ye Qingzi wanted to know the answer.


New Moon Land had been safely migrated. Why did Chu Mu still need to face Ancient Flood Dragon Person? If he could not win, he could just retreat. No matter how strong Ancient Flood Dragon Person was, it could not swallow the entire human territory.


“Actually, there is a form of compet.i.tion existing between Monument Tear Individuals. This is also the reason why Fake Monument Tear Individuals appeared. As long as you can kill a Monument Tear Individual, you can obtain his Monument Tears.”


“I am the fourth era’s Monument Tear Individual, there are also many other fourth era’s Monument Tear Individuals, including Seven Sins Fox Light King......”


“However, I have never encountered many truly strong or threatening Monument Tear Individuals so far. Do you know why?”


Ye Qingzi looked at Chu Mu and was unable to guess his meaning.


Chu Mu was a Monument Tear Individual, and possessed many important Monument Tears of the fourth era, even Ancient Beast Soul’s Monument Tear was in his hand.


However, other than Madam Huo’s batch, Chu Mu never encountered any truly strong Monument Tear Individuals.


Monument Tear Individuals struggled through b.l.o.o.d.y battles, constantly getting pursued by other Monument Tear Individuals and constantly pursuing other Monument Tear Individuals......


Chu Mu had never encountered such cases.


“Is someone protecting you?” guessed Ye Qingzi.


He hugged the smart Ye Qingzi even tighter and spoke, “All Monument Tear Individuals are the most outstanding experts chosen by Heaven Boundary Monument to inherit the Undying rank era’s strongest position. There may be around one thousand such candidates, in addition to the greedy Fake Monument Tear Individuals...... They are all lunatics who will do anything to reach Undying rank.”


“However, not long ago, Monument Tear told me that there are only two fourth era’s Monument Tear Individuals left......”


Ye Qingzi was astonished and asked, “Two??”


“One is me......” Chu Mu showed a bitter expression, “I had always thought he was far away from me and was unable to understand why he was unwilling to see me. Only when two Monument Tear Individuals are left, I realized that he had always been by my side......”


Ye Qingzi looked at Chu Mu in surprise and asked, “He...... He has been killing other Monument Tear Individuals and Fake Monument Tear Individuals for you?”


“Yes,” Chu Mu nodded.
