Chapter 2119 - 1627: Obsession (Extra - for Alliance Leader Zhang Guangzi Dezhao) (Third Chapter)

"Master, I think I’ve made it through."

However, the old man stood there without answering Su Mo.

"Master!"

Su Mo couldn’t help but softly call out again.

Poof~

At this moment, the old man’s face flushed crimson, and then he opened his mouth, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.

The once energetic face, as if the last spark of life had vanished, became extremely aged and twisted, his whole body wavering unsteadily.

Su Mo’s heart suddenly trembled, and he hurriedly reached out to support the old man.

"Master, what’s wrong?"

"I’m fine, don’t mind me, go open the door."

The old man said weakly.

"Okay."

Su Mo quickly responded, assisting the old man as they walked towards the special metal wall.

When the two reached the metal wall, the old man said to Su Mo.

"Don’t support me, just place your hands on it!"

"Okay!"

Su Mo immediately followed the old man’s instructions, placing his hands on the metal wall.

The old man then continued to instruct Su Mo: "Focus your mind, slowly close your eyes, and feel the blood flowing inside your body."

"Yes!"

Following the old man’s guidance, Su Mo slowly closed his eyes, quietly feeling the flow of blood within him.

"Use your mind to control and stimulate their power..."

The old man weakly instructed.

Su Mo followed the old man’s teachings, continuously trying to activate the power of his bloodline, feeling excruciating pain in his body, but he did not retreat, instead gritting his teeth with a low growl.

In an instant, countless streams of black energy burst out from Su Mo’s body, channeling into the metal wall.

The black energy, like ink, permeated the entire metal wall, and soon after, a special black vortex pattern emerged.

Clatter~

The whole special metal wall cracked irregularly.

"I did it!"

Su Mo abruptly opened his eyes, speaking with some disbelief.

The old man’s aged face revealed a more and more excited expression, and he unhesitatingly walked straight in.

Su Mo quickly followed him inside.

Then, the two of them entered a special hangar, and immediately laid eyes upon a very unique Star Destroyer standing before them.

The entire Star Destroyer was 128 kilometers long, shaped like a sharp sword, covered in a special snow-white simulated armor, with three dazzling primary cannons standing at its bow, bristling with numerous launch ports and special defense devices, the whole warship strikingly overwhelming.

Su Mo gazed at the Star Destroyer, his mind a bit disoriented.

While the old man upon seeing the Star Destroyer, froze in place unmoving.

"Haha!"

After a long period, he slowly lifted his gaze, his expression drastically transforming, his gaze becoming extremely frenzied, his demeanor exceptionally sinister, he let out a twisted laugh, stumbling step by step towards the Star Destroyer.

Su Mo was taken aback, suddenly turning his head to look at the old man, and also became wide-eyed.

He felt that the old man’s expression, behavior, and aura had undergone an earth-shattering change, appearing indescribably unfamiliar, as if he were a different person.

"I’ve finally found it, haha!"

The old man walked up to the Star Destroyer, reached out his hand to press against the ship’s hull, and laughed maniacally!

The laughter itself sent chills down Su Mo’s spine, but suddenly, the laughter ceased.

Seeing this, Su Mo softly called out.

"Master? Are you alright?"

Holding onto the Star Destroyer, unfortunately, there was no response from the old man, prompting Su Mo to call out again.

Seeing this, Su Mo reached out, trying to touch the old man.

In the end, the old man collapsed to the ground.

Su Mo quickly stretched out his hand to catch the old man, anxiously shouting.

"Master, wake up....."

As the unconscious old man heard Su Mo’s call, his cloudy eyes slowly opened.

"Master, you’re awake, are you alright, I’ll get a doctor for you now."

At this moment, the old man reached out, tightly gripping Su Mo’s hand, weakly saying.

"No need, I’m beyond saving."

"No, don’t say that, I’ll definitely heal you."

Su Mo’s body suddenly trembled upon hearing the old man’s words, his eyes immediately reddening.

"It’s uncurable, let me say this."

The old man said with some agitation.

"You say it!"

Su Mo quickly responded.

"From today onward, I officially pass the position of Emperor of the Black Light Empire to you. From now on, you’re the Emperor of the Black Light Empire, understand?"

The old man said with great difficulty.

"Understood, Master."

Su Mo’s eyes suddenly moistened, heart wrenchingly trying to console him.

This time the old man slowly raised his right hand, indicating for Su Mo to remove the black Dragon Pattern Gemstone ring from his thumb.

Su Mo also slowly reached out his hand, removing it.

"Put it on, cough cough...."

The old man barely finished speaking before he started to cough violently, black blood continuously seeping out.

"Master, please stop talking, I’ll call the doctor."

Su Mo was greatly startled, hurriedly comforting him.

"No, no need, I really can’t hold on anymore. But it doesn’t matter, my long-cherished wish is fulfilled, I only ask you one thing."

The old man’s eyes began to turn vacant.

"Speak."

"Lead them to live well, continue the bloodline of the Black Light Empire."

When the old man said this, his eyes revealed a trace of relief, eventually giving up the wish to restore the nation for Su Mo, leaving no obsession behind.

"Okay! Master, I promise you, you hold on....."

Su Mo wiped his tears, nodding continuously.

"Ve...ry....good....you...."

Upon hearing Su Mo’s response, the old man no longer held on, his pupils began to dilate, the hand he raised slowly dropped down.

"Master!"

Su Mo devastatedly shook his body, hoping against hope that he would wake up, but he remained motionless.

Su Mo’s body suddenly trembled, his face full of sorrow, gently placing the old man’s body on the ground. Then slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and bowed deeply to the old man’s remains.

"Master, rest in peace!"

At this moment, the creator Swallower floated in, shocked to see the old man’s corpse lying on the ground, incredulously asking.

"Su Mo, is the old man dead?"

"Dead."

Su Mo hoarsely replied to Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi was silent for a long while before saying solemnly: "It’s alright that he’s dead, for him, it might not be a bad thing, it’s also a form of relief, after all, he lived his whole life for an obsession."

"Maybe."

Hearing Xiao Shi’s words, Su Mo felt increasingly heavy in his heart.

"Alright, people ought to look forward, the old man wouldn’t want to see you sulking if he were alive. After all, his life was not a loss, spanning three eras, witnessing countless events!"

The creator Swallower said to Su Mo.

"Sigh."

Su Mo let out a long sigh, although he understood the reasoning, his heart still felt blocked.

The creator Swallower didn’t try to persuade him further, knowing that some things have to be understood by himself.
