2730 Take Precautions
He wanted to curse so badly.
Initially, with his father Di Yuan Lord Master’s interference, he could have escaped.
But now he realized there was still a telepathic connection between him and Su Mo.
In other words, As long as he had not escaped the telepathic range, he could catch up.
Whoosh~
Tuoba Qingyun moved at top speed. He had to get away from the telepathic range to have a slim chance of escaping Su Mo’s pursuit.
In the Void Sea, Su Mo pursued his target along the telepathic direction.
He believed his speed was definitely not slower than his target’s. It could not be difficult to catch up with Di Yihun.
Sure enough, after a brief moment, he spotted a man in black in the distance. That short figure belonged to Tuoba Qingyun. Su Mo heaved a sigh of relief.
“Tuoba Qingyun, you can’t escape!” Su Mo exclaimed, unleas.h.i.+ng his Devouring Power once more.
As the Devouring Power swept over, Tuoba Qingyun’s speed was affected, and he got closer and closer to Su Mo.
“Is this the end?” Tuoba Qingyun’s face sank. He knew he could not run away.
Under the influence of the Devouring Power, Tuoba Qingyun’s speed was greatly reduced, and very soon Su Mo caught up to him.
They were less than a hundred miles apart, which was enough to maximize their attack power.
Swoos.h.!.+
Tuoba Qingyun stopped, forgoing the idea to escape. He turned around to face Su Mo.
“No more running?” Su Mo stopped too, getting ready to fight. Although he did not take Tuoba Qingyun’s strength to heart, he did not dare to be careless, lest the other party came up with some special means to escape.
“Su Mo, you win!” Tuoba Qingyun looked desperate, his gaze locked onto Su Mo, thinking about the effect his last bargaining chip could have.
“No, not yet!” Su Mo was not in a rush to fire. He shook his head and said, “Only by defeating the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign will I truly win.”
Tuoba Qingyun stayed silent. He knew what Su Mo meant. The constant struggle between him, Su Mo, and Di Yihun was all the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign’s setup.
They just want to break the game and gain their true freedom.
“Give up resisting. I don’t have to kill you for now!” Su Mo said solemnly. He was not deceiving the man, for there was no need to.
At first, he had planned to capture Tuoba Qingyun and then devour and fuse with him so that his talents could keep up.
But now he had changed his mind.
Fusing with Tuoba Qingyun’s Spiritual Soul would just have made his talent a little stronger.
His talents had long been unmatched, especially since he had attained the Luck of the Cosmos after fusing with the Vastness Purple Qi Primordial Spirit. No one could compare to him.
So, fusing Tuoba Qingyun to increase that little bit of talent did not mean much to him.
Letting him live, however, might make him able to guard against the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign.
On the way to Tuoba Qingyun, Su Mo had been thinking a lot. He had done some transposition thinking and wondered, if he was the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign, what preparations would he make?
Su Mo was not sure about that, but he was sure that the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign would surely leave a great opportunity for himself.
The Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign had chosen rebirth in order to break the shackles of the Cosmic World rules, allowing himself one step extra to have the opportunity to leave the Cosmic World and transcend the era.
Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign had split his Spiritual Soul into six in order to fuse the talents of six people into one.
Each Split-Soul had to fuse with other Split-Souls to make their talents stronger, which would result in the Split-Souls’ destiny to be their own enemies.
If things went accordingly, after the six Split-Souls were merged into one, the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign would be reborn.
But, what if special circ.u.mstances deemed the six Split-Souls unable to unite as one?
The Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign must have accounted for that too.
Based on what Su Mo knew, if any one of the reincarnated avatars perished in their growth process, they would be reincarnated again and again until all six became one.
There were too many variables there, the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign must have saved himself a backup plan.
Like, if the six Split-Souls were unable to unite, then what would the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign use to be reborn?
Su Mo could not figure that out, but he thought it best to spare Tuoba Qingyun.
The Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign would want his Split-Souls to kill one another and merge.
So Su Mo decided not to fuse with Tuoba Qingyun and spare his life. He could be useful in the future.
“You’re not killing me?” Tuoba Qingyun said, stunned, as he gazed at Su Mo uncertainly.
“That’s right, I’m not, but you’ll be under my control,” said Su Mo.
“What are you planning to do?” Tuoba Qingyun squinted. He was surprised Su Mo was not going in for the kill.
For all he knew, Su Mo would fuse with his Spiritual Soul at the first chance he got.
“Do you want to become the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign?” Su Mo asked.
Tuoba Qingyun, stunned again, lightly shook his head. He just wanted to be himself, how could he dream of becoming the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign?
“That’s what I thought. You and I both, so we have to break the shackles of fate,” Su Mo said.
“How?” Tuoba Qingyun asked.
“I don’t know!” Su Mo shook his head and continued, “But you’re the loser here, so I’ll be controlling your life and freedom. If I succeed in the future, I’ll consider setting you free.”
Su Mo did not really harbor great resentment towards Tuoba Qingyun. After all, this was fate.
On the premise that the man had not killed his family.
If the Firmament Palace was ma.s.sacred, he would make Tuoba Qingyun die much more miserably.
After a moment’s silence, Tuoba Qingyun spoke, “I thought I had some bargaining chips left, but it seems I don’t need them.”
“Do you mean my friends and relatives that you caught?” Su Mo asked. He had heard that the man had captured some of his acquaintances, such as Saint Zhen Xian.
“Yes, Tuoba Qingyun nodded. He had not used those bargaining chips because he knew the effect would be minimal.
After all, the ones he had captured were not from the Firmament Palace, just people whom Su Mo had interacted with or were indebted to.
These people would certainly make Su Mo think twice, but they were not enough to threaten with Su Mo and get himself set free.
The main thing was that he could not threaten Su Mo anymore. With his current strength, Su Mo could have easily controlled the lives and deaths of the people in the Earth Palace. It was strange that Su Mo did not want to threaten him too.
For Tuoba Qingyun, threats basically would not succeed, so he had not used the bargaining chip.
“Let them go, I won’t kill you!” Su Mo said. He would not kill the man yet, but he could not promise anything in the future.
If things got complicated and Tuoba Qingyun had to die, Su Mo would not hesitate.
He had spared the man’s life as a precaution, on alert of the Reincarnation Heavenly Sovereign.
He planned to look for the Chaotic Lord first and discuss with him what to do with Tuoba Qingyun.
Tuoba Qingyun looked strained as his thoughts s.h.i.+fted. In a short time, thousands of years had flashed across his mind.
Finally, he sighed and nodded. “Fine, I’ll let them go.”
With that, Di Yihun s.h.i.+fted his mind. Several figures gradually emerged next to him.
