Chapter 1599: News of Chuchu
The monkeys and the Six Great Saints stayed by Gu Bingbing's side, and the Sky Patriarch also remained. At the same time, Luo Lan, Qianqiu, Qing Gu, and Xuanxuan, who knew quite a bit about Chu Mo's background, also stayed behind. In their hearts, they thought that this current life was already quite good. After all, they had the resources they needed and the status wasn't lacking much either. Of course, if they could shatter the divinity and completely regain their freedom, that would be even more perfect!
Even if the divinity was shattered and freedom was regained, none of these people thought about leaving Gu Bingbing immediately. On one hand, Gu Bingbing indeed treated them well, truly like esteemed guests. On the other hand, this is the Tunnel; if they left here, where could they go?
The entire Tunnel was under the coverage of several major ancient clans, and regardless of where they went, they could never again become the cosmic overlord with a single divine thought controlling the entire universe as in the past. Those days were gone, never to return.
Regret is an emotion that rarely appears in the minds of these people. Because they are the most top-notch smart people in the world, if regret were meaningful, if regret could allow a do-over, they would certainly regret it, regret desperately!
The key is, regret is meaningless; it cannot be a do-over.
Even if they jumped into the river of time, they could not jump out from upstream.
In that case, it's better to always look forward!
Don't look back.
Chu Mo didn't attempt to shatter the divinity of the monkeys and the others, because Gu Bingbing privately revealed related matters to Chu Mo. Although she didn't know that Chu Mo still had the ability to shatter divinity, she told Chu Mo not to mention his former identity and not try to help others shatter divinity.
On one hand, it's impossible to succeed; on the other hand, every once in a while, the Ancient God Family sends a special envoy to inspect the Edict of the Investiture of the Gods tokens. This is not only for Gu Bingbing but anyone with an Edict of the Investiture of the Gods token will be inspected.
Once they detect any abnormal situation, they will report it to the family at the first opportunity.
"So, sir, even if you really have that ability, you absolutely, absolutely, absolutely... should not reveal it. Unless... one day, you have the ability that makes everyone in the world fear you. Otherwise, even if you already have a power equal to the ancient clans in the same tier, it's still not allowed!"
When Gu Bingbing said this, she was very serious, very earnest, and very solemn.
She finally pointed to the sky: "Because there's always a sky Beyond Heaven."
Chu Mo remembered Guo Chang's words, nodded, and sighed inwardly: the road ahead is long and challenging! But I will not give up.
After that, Chu Mo began searching for various data and also looked for Gu Bingbing. He wanted to know what would happen if two beings from the mirror universe met.
"This kind of thing is hard to say, I've heard a little about related legends." Gu Bingbing frowned, "Why? Did you meet such a person? Or do you mean... yourself?"
Saying this, Gu Bingbing couldn't help but chuckle, "I think, sir, you certainly wouldn't, there's at most one person like you in the world."
"Don't compliment me, it's making me a bit embarrassed." Chu Mo smiled wryly, then said, "It's not me; it's someone else, my friends, but I've met their other selves."
Gu Bingbing thought for a moment, then asked, "Could it be Zi Dao and Ouyang Fei?"
Chu Mo nodded, "Yes."
"Such a thing actually happened right under my nose, it is indeed quite amazing." Gu Bingbing's face also revealed a curious look. Then she said, "If two people from the mirror universe meet, something is sure to happen. I have seen it in the classic books of the family, and it is said there are several outcomes, and no one can predict which one will occur…"
Gu Bingbing looked at Chu Mo, "The first outcome is annihilation. Like ice meeting fire, both perish together, Shuangshuang into Dao Conversion. This is also the most common result; the second result is fusion, meaning the compatibility between the two is very high, their characters are almost identical, and their growth experiences are similar, then fusion might occur. After fusion, one personality dominates, and the other is auxiliary. Yes, this is a bit complex, yet if accustomed to it, it's nothing much. Like a person can have many different personalities. I've heard that at the Supreme realm, one can already cleave three corpses: one good, one evil, and one the original self. However, although there are many Supreme realm entities in the Tunnel, including our Ancient God Family, I've never seen anyone successfully cleave three corpses. So you should just consider it a legend. The third outcome is that after meeting, nothing unexpected happens, you live your life, and I live mine... this is obviously the best outcome, but the ancient history of the entire Tunnel... hmm, is the ancient history we know."
Gu Bingbing paused, looked at Chu Mo, and said, "The history of the Tunnel once had a discontinuity. There were endless ages with no records. This perhaps... is related to that one!"
Gu Bingbing pointed up, then said, "So the Investiture of the Gods, the Edict of the Investiture of the Gods... there are many things that even those at the Supreme realm cannot provide a perfect explanation for."
Upon hearing this, Chu Mo nodded seriously, took a deep breath, and then asked, "Is there no way to make this third result become the norm?"
Gu Bingbing furrowed her brow slightly, then shook her head, "It seems... there isn't."
Then she said again, "However, I think that there must be a way for such a thing. As long as the cause of the mirror universe's formation can be found, this problem should be solvable. Also, didn't I just say that the Tunnel's history had a discontinuity, so there must be places within the Tunnel where some prehistoric information can be found. It's hard to decipher those pieces of information, even beings at the Supreme realm need endless ages to deduce them to extract some useful knowledge. However, within those pieces of information, there are often astonishing secrets. If such prehistoric information can be found and successfully deciphered, I believe, perhaps there is a way to achieve this goal."
"Though difficult, it's worth trying," said Chu Mo.
Gu Bingbing nodded with a cheerful smile, "Actually I'm very curious about these matters too. I think I can help you with these things."
Chu Mo said, "Then thank you in advance."
Gu Bingbing shook her head, "Sir has done me a great favor, there's no need to say thank you."
"By the way, I want to find some people, can you help me look for them, but I don't want to alarm anyone," Chu Mo said.
After spending these days together, Chu Mo also had a comprehensive understanding of Gu Bingbing and knew she was someone trustworthy.
Gu Bingbing nodded, "Not alarming anyone is a bit complicated, but it doesn't matter, I can mix in a lot of unrelated people to completely mislead the eyes of some with other attentions, and then search quietly."
Chu Mo then gave Gu Bingbing the names of the other Six Great Saints, Chuchu, Shui Yiyi, and Qi Xiaoyu.
Then he candidly told her, "Chuchu is another mirror of mine in this universe... my younger sister. She and the Six Great Saints are most likely in the Luoshui Family. While Shui Yiyi and Qi Xiaoyu are my wives, I came to the Tunnel because they were captured and brought in."
Gu Bingbing was astonished to learn that another Six Great Saints existed in the world, especially considering that the Six Great Saints were now under her command. They were six peak experts who could potentially breakthrough into the ancestral realm at any moment. Little did she know that six others had already reached the ancestral realm in the Tunnel.
"Typically, the fortune of two people in a mirror universe is bound to differ, usually one achieves highs while the other has low achievements, or both have low achievements, but the scenario where both achieve high is indeed rare." Gu Bingbing said, then continued, "Luoshui Family, huh? Chuchu... this name, why does it sound familiar? I'll ask around, for sure I'll get some news!"
Then, she looked at Chu Mo, "I never thought sir had already married."
Chu Mo smiled slightly, "Yes, I love them dearly."
"Having you as their husband must make them very happy," Gu Bingbing said, then asked with some confusion, "Sir just said... they were captured? Who has such great ability? Able to freely come and go from the lower universe? From what I know, only those at the Supreme realm in the Tunnel have this ability. But, why would a Supreme stoop to do such a thing?"
Chu Mo smiled wryly, "I don't know either." Although he already trusted Gu Bingbing a lot, he felt that mentioning Spiritual Master Lingtong even in the Tunnel might be a taboo, and saying it could potentially cause unforeseen changes.
"Alright, I'll keep an eye on this matter for you," Gu Bingbing could sense that there was more to Chu Mo's wives' situation than he was saying, but she understood and didn't press further.
A few days later, Gu Bingbing excitedly found Chu Mo, "Sir, there's news about Chuchu!"
"Really?" Chu Mo's face lit up with joy, and he quickly asked, "Where is she?"
"Don't rush." Gu Bingbing let Chu Mo sit down, then said, "Interestingly, I have a good sister in the Luoshui Family named Luoluo, we've played together since childhood, very close relationship. When you mentioned Chuchu might be in the Luoshui family that day, I immediately thought of Luoluo. After I went back, I contacted Luoluo to inquire, and it turns out, Chuchu is indeed in the Luoshui Family! She entered the Tunnel with Zi Dao and Ouyang Fei from the ancient battlefield! Also, there's news about the Six Great Saints, they are also in the Luoshui Family, but they entered the Tunnel earlier."
Chu Mo breathed a sigh of relief, the people he needed to find, the Six Great Saints and Chuchu, were relatively easier to locate. Because they were all with Zi Dao and Ouyang Fei when they entered the Tunnel. Specifically from the Luoshui Family batch.
At this moment, Gu Bingbing glanced at Chu Mo, "However, getting Chuchu out... won't be too easy."
