Chapter 589: Chapter 579: Looking Back Again, 10 Years Guarding the River, Fleeting Time

Every time this feeling of giving up appeared, that power of cause and effect would descend upon him once again.

Like a rising sun, a purifying light, it instantly dispelled all the gloom in Wu Di’s heart, including that feeling of giving up, and suddenly he felt completely transparent.

Once a person has the feeling of giving up, it is a very terrifying thing. Wu Di never thought that one day he would have such an emotion.

He would rather believe he feared death than believe that he would doubt his long-pursued true self.

.......

Since he started forging this weapon, he had a feeling.

It was as though he was not the only one forging this weapon; the power of cause and effect in the unseen was also helping him to forge this weapon together.

He also speculated whether it was because of the weapon itself or because of the boss?

Because this weapon, he was making for the boss.

Moreover, that power of cause and effect had appeared ever since he decided to forge it for the boss.

He could distinctly feel that powerful force of cause and effect constantly urging him forward, with the gears of fate and cause pushing him to complete this task.

So, even though Wu Di didn’t know what the opportunity for maturation was or how it would appear.

But he believed that the opportunity would come because he felt that cause would push the opportunity to the right time...

......

"Can I help with anything?" Su Mu asked.

Hearing this, Wu Di smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No need for the boss to worry, you’ve already helped me a lot. Leave this matter entirely to me."

After the words fell.

Su Mu thought of something and said to Wu Di slowly: "I might not come to see you often for a while."

"Firstly, I can’t help you with anything, and secondly, if I come, it might affect your work."

"To ensure your safety, I’m preparing to give you an absolutely quiet, absolutely safe environment where you won’t be disturbed."

Saying so, Su Mu rose into the sky, standing atop the water surface.

He performed the Water Control Divine Technique, and with a wave of his hand, five water walls gently rose, each a meter thick and twenty meters high, forming a closed space.

With a thought, the water walls instantly solidified into ice walls, enclosing and protecting where Wu Di was working.

After completing all this, Su Mu opened a one-way water gate on one of the walls.

From the outside, it was ice; from the inside, it was water.

It allowed only exit, not entry, greatly ensuring Wu Di’s safety.

Furthermore, he left his own aura mark on the ice wall.

Because Su Mu controlled this river, if Wu Di encountered any situation, he could perform pinpoint teleportation using the "river water."

In an instant, he could arrive on the scene.

"This door is left for you. You can go out through this water gate, but others cannot come in." Su Mu said to Wu Di.

Seeing this, Wu Di looked at the water gate and said: "Boss, I won’t leave here until this weapon is completed. You don’t need to leave a door for me."

"I won’t go out."

Hearing this, Su Mu waved his hand and said: "No, doing so would make this a prison, wouldn’t it?"

"Don’t put too much pressure on yourself."

"Magical treasures and weapons are just external objects. If you really encounter insolvable difficulties, there’s no need to force yourself. As long as you are safe and sound and live well, to me, that is the best gift."

Su Mu patted Wu Di’s shoulder, smiling as he spoke.

Because Su Mu valued Wu Di as a person and his abilities, whether he could forge a weapon for him or not was not important.

Hearing this, Wu Di was stunned: "Boss, this is also my lifelong aspiration. I will definitely complete it and will not disappoint you."

....

"Alright, it’s getting late."

"I’ll be off first, won’t disturb you."

"You take this."

With that said, Su Mu took out a Space Ring from his sleeve and handed it to Wu Di.

Wu Di received the Space Ring, puzzled: "Boss, what’s this?"

"Inside is food prepared by Nannan for you, which can help restore your strength," Su Mu replied.

Hearing this, Wu Di was stunned.

"Alright, I’m leaving then." After patting Wu Di on the shoulder, Su Mu turned around and left the place.

After Su Mu left, Wu Di looked at the Space Ring in his hand.

He directed his consciousness into the Space Ring and saw thousands of various, dazzling "foods."

These were not ordinary foods; all were made with top-tier ingredients, top-tier "Holy Medicine"!

Moreover, they all appeared to have been meticulously cooked and still emanated warmth.

For a moment, the little Space Ring grew heavy in his palm.

He tightly clenched the Space Ring and carefully stored it in his Dantian Space.

Wu Di turned, looking in the direction Su Mu had gone, and for some reason, at this moment, a sudden sense of bewilderment and reluctance arose in his heart.

He shook his head, dismissing all distracting thoughts.

Turning around, lowering his head, he buried himself at the forging table.

Thump—

Thump—

Thump—

Soon, the dull sounds of iron pounding reverberated within this enclosed space, not extending to the outside world.

No one knew what kind of treasure would be nurtured in this small space, or how it would impact the whole Ten Thousand Realms....

No one could answer, including Wu Di himself.

Only "time" could answer this question.

......

When Su Mu returned home, it was already dark.

Nannan had already prepared dinner and was waiting for Su Mu to return home.

After dinner, Su Mu put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to Nannan: "Tomorrow, come out with Daddy."

Upon hearing this, Nannan paused her cleaning and asked, puzzled: "What’s it for, Daddy? Are we going on a patrol?"

Su Mu shook his head and said: "No, we’re not working, not patrolling tomorrow."

"So what are we going to do?"

"We’re going to play."

Hearing this, Nannan was stunned and tilted her head.

"Why?"

"Because... tomorrow is a special day," Su Mu replied with a smile.

"A special day?" Nannan counted on her fingers and said: "No, Daddy’s birthday isn’t here yet."

"Silly girl, it’s your birthday."

"Tomorrow, you will turn ten."

"Tomorrow is your tenth birthday."

Su Mu ruffled Nannan’s hair, dotingly.

After saying this, a deep sense of guilt surged in Su Mu’s heart.

He once promised Nannan that when she turned ten.

They would definitely leave here, find a place full of flower seas and lush greenery, and celebrate her tenth birthday.
