Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring'

Chapter 1846 - 1474: Secret Truths (Part 1)

At this moment, the creator, Swallower, heard this and suddenly asked Su Mo in a low voice."I’m a bit curious, how did you suppress your greed at that time? Could it be that you knew the enemy was coming to attack?"

"How could I possibly know the enemy was coming to attack? I just considered the situation from a thief’s perspective. Over the years, haven’t many thieves died due to excessive greed, leaving no place for burial? So when I saw that it was almost enough, I stopped. But even so, you saw the situation back then; everyone went red-eyed, except for Tilo’s group, who restrained themselves first. Xiao Wen and Mo Baoke’s people all had varying degrees of resistance. If my prestige weren’t high enough, something might have happened."

Su Mo explained to the creator, Swallower.

After listening to Su Mo’s words, the creator, Swallower, fell silent, suddenly understanding why Su Mo could resist the negative energy pollution.

Greed is also a point of negative energy eruption. If he could suppress greed, naturally he could control negative energy.

The old man carefully observed the endless wealth and suddenly spoke to Su Mo.

"There’s something you should do."

"Ah? What is it?"

Su Mo was slightly stunned, looking at the old man.

"Wealth moves the heart, except for those close to you. Deal with all the other small fry, lest the news leaks."

The old man said in a very cold tone.

"This...."

Su Mo’s expression froze at the old man’s words.

The old man glanced at Su Mo’s expression and said indifferently, "If you can’t do it, let my people handle it for you."

Su Mo quickly calmed down, pondered for a few seconds, then shook his head and replied to the old man.

"No."

"You need to think clearly, such a large fortune, what kind of consequences would be if the news leaks, and what kind of disaster might it attract?"

"I know."

"You know, but you’re not clear about the severity of it. This fortune is tempting even for me, let alone Icaroya. If she had to choose between wealth and you, she might press you to death, not to mention others."

"Icaroya, it can’t be."

Su Mo took a deep breath, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly as he spoke.

"Well, even if she’s not like that, what about the others? Don’t be fooled by how honest and well-behaved the nations are under Icaroya’s strong deterrence. That’s because the benefits aren’t enough. When there’s enough, they’ll dare to do anything. Haven’t there been cases of siege and destruction of nations, and in the end, they just find a scapegoat to settle it? Isn’t your subordinate Tilo the best example?"

The old man’s gaze grew increasingly cold as he spoke.

Su Mo couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.

"This world is very realistic, everything is dictated by strength. Although as a member of the Royal Order of Twelve Knights, your status and position are sufficient, the only pity is that the strength of the country behind you is too weak. If the Mechanical Empire or Laurel Empire supported you, you wouldn’t need to be so troublesome."

The old man, like a mentor, offered earnest advice to Su Mo.

"I know, but I have my principles. I also understand that there are surely more or fewer traitors among the people below. But I can’t implicate everyone because of them, it would only chill the hearts of my subordinates, and that doesn’t align with my principles. As long as they haven’t done anything excessive, I won’t take action. Of course, I’m not a stubborn person either. If someone truly misbehaves, I won’t be lenient."

Su Mo raised his head, his gaze unwavering.

The old man, seeing Su Mo’s determination, helplessly shook his head and replied.

"As you wish."

"Haha!"

Su Mo awkwardly chuckled, quickly changing the subject, saying to the old man, "Let’s not talk about those things. Quickly look at the gift stone tablet I brought for you, see if it’s genuine."

Hearing this, the old man walked towards the stone tablet.

He approached the stone tablet, examining it closely, his aged face growing increasingly solemn.

Seeing the old man’s serious expression, Su Mo grew more curious and couldn’t help but ask, "How is it, is this stone tablet real or fake? I heard there are many fakes."

"It’s actually the Divine Creation Tablet."

The old man said, somewhat moved.

Upon hearing this, Su Mo’s eyes lit up, and he asked with great curiosity.

"What is this stone tablet?"

The old man, gazing at the stone tablet in front of him, was quite moved. In a hoarse voice, he said to Su Mo,

"Do you want to know?"

"Of course."

Su Mo replied quickly.

"Then I’ll tell you. The so-called stone tablets are divided into three types. The first type is the Divine Creation Tablet, the most valuable existence among the tablets, and the internal classification of the Divine Creation Tablets is divided into two categories. One includes the first eight, and the other includes the latter twelve."

The old man seemed to fall into memories of long ago.

"First eight, latter twelve, what’s the difference?"

Su Mo hadn’t expected it to be so complex.

"The first eight Divine Creation Tablets are the most valuable of all tablets. Those eight tablets were left by the First Generation God Master and record matters of the Zero Star Domain and the secrets of the god-sequence."

The old man spoke to Su Mo word by word.

Upon hearing this, Su Mo’s eyelids twitched as he spoke.

"Isn’t it true that there really are gods in this world?"

"Of course there are, but it depends on how you define it."

"Then if we find those eight tablets, we can truly become gods?"

"There’s no need for you to think about that, you will never be able to gather them all."

The old man unhesitatingly crushed Su Mo’s fantasy.

"Ahem, I was just thinking about it. So, what about the latter twelve?"

Su Mo responded quite awkwardly.

"The latter twelve Divine Creation Tablets were engraved during the peak of the Divine Race. Among them, ten record various weapons of the Divine Race, such as the Heart of Destruction, the Divine Creation Star, and other terrifying weapons. As for the last two, one records matters about the Negative Universe, the one Icaroya has always been looking for, and as for the remaining last one, it’s what I’m searching for, and I’m not going to tell you the secret inside, so you don’t need to ask."

The old man straightforwardly answered.

After listening, Su Mo asked very curiously.

"So what kind of weapon does this tablet record? I can’t understand it."

"Not understanding is quite normal. You don’t need to speculate. This stone tablet records a weapon called Angel Sonata."

The old man paused for several seconds before speaking to Su Mo.

"What kind of weapon is this? Is it powerful?"

Su Mo asked with great curiosity.

"Hmph, it’s used for large-scale battlefield cleanup. Even VI generation mechas and VI class emperor-level creatures might not withstand it. If combined with the Divine Creation Star, even VII class entities would have to withdraw."

The old man said with some deep-seated resentment.

Su Mo listened, feeling very tempted, and asked.

"It’s so powerful, could we possibly manufacture it?"
