172: Chapter 170 Su Xiaoli's Mother?

Lin Mo weighed the stone stele in his hand and tucked it into his storage space.

A system notification popped up immediately.

[Obtained Dragon Clan treasure: world-crossing dragon stele!]

[This item contains the origin of a master of Space Law; it can alter dungeon rules to a certain extent, allowing free entry and exit from any opened dungeon space.]

Good stuff.

But Lin Mo remained cautious.

He had almost been tricked by the Dragon King several times, and this time, he would absolutely not give him another chance.

How could something containing the Dragon King's origin not be connected to the Dragon King?

Just as Lin Mo was about to handle this item,

the ground beneath his feet suddenly trembled.

No, not the ground.

It was the entire Trial Tower shaking.

An unprecedented light erupted from Su Xiaoli's body.

It was not the dark red of King-level Power, nor the dark gold of the overlord halberd.

It was a kind of extremely pure, almost transparent white light.

The white light surged from her heart, flowed through her veins throughout her body, and then radiated outward from her skin.

The space on the 1000th floor of the Trial Tower began to twist violently.

The stone walls cracked, the dome collapsed, and the entire hall looked like a crumpled ball of paper.

[Ding! Su Xiaoli has completed the Third-Rank trial!]

[Third-Rank class advancement complete!]

[King-selection class—Overlord, merging with world authority!]

Lin Mo felt an extremely massive power surging toward Su Xiaoli from the soles of his feet, the air, and the sky above.

It wasn't mana.

It wasn't origin.

It was the power of the world itself.

The rules of the entire Primordial World were opening up to Su Xiaoli.

Wrapped in the white light, the two returned to the real world.

The moment Lin Mo landed, a deep roar came from the earth beneath his feet.

He looked up.

The sky had changed.

A gap had been torn in the pitch-black night sky, and aurora-like colors poured down from the crack.

The earth was rearranging itself, mountains were shifting, and the ocean tides completed their rise and fall in a matter of seconds.

The whole world was breathing.

And the rhythm of its breathing was perfectly synchronized with Su Xiaoli's heartbeat.

"This..."

Su Xiaoli subconsciously grabbed Lin Mo's arm.

The next second, Lin Mo froze.

He sensed an incomparably powerful force coming from his arm.

Su Xiaoli's current power value—200 trillion.

At least 200 trillion.

He had fought tooth and nail to absorb millions of pieces of void matter, broken through a 50% Law integration rate, and awakened the Extraterrestrial Demon origin, yet his total attributes were only 1,000 trillion.

And Su Xiaoli, merely at Third-Rank, had directly reached 200 trillion.

And this was only at the early stage of Third-Rank, with at most 0.1% of the world converted into her Law Space.

0.1% was 200 trillion, and it was likely even more.

What if it were all converted?

Lin Mo soon understood why Su Xiaoli was so strong.

His inner world was just a nascent prototype with a diameter of two billion meters.

But beneath Su Xiaoli's feet was an entire Primordial World.

The difference in scale was unfathomable.

This was the terror of the King-selection class.

In the future, she wouldn't even need to use void matter to increase her integration rate; this world would automatically merge with her.

She herself was the master of this world.

As strong as the world was, she was just as strong.

"Lin Mo! Lin Mo!"

Su Xiaoli's voice came from beside him.

Lin Mo came back to his senses and found that the little girl had somehow reverted to her loli form and was standing on her tiptoes, excitedly patting his shoulder.

"Do you know! Do you know!"

Her eyes were shining like two stars.

"I know my origins now!"

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment.

"What origins?"

Su Xiaoli took a deep breath.

"I'm not an orphan!"

She spread her arms and spun around, her tone excited and happy.

"The world will! She is my mother!"

"She told me just now! She said she had waited for a long, long time, and finally waited for me to grow up!"

Su Xiaoli's eyes were red, but her mouth was stretched almost to her ears.

"I have a mother, Lin Mo! I have a mother!"

"You're saying it's your mother?"

Lin Mo froze on the spot.

The expression on his face solidified.

At this moment, his brain underwent an extremely painful flashback.

About five minutes ago.

He was standing in the World Sea storm, facing that golden crack in the void.

At the time, he had perceived the power of the world will to be very warm and gentle, with a sense of maternal radiance.

And then he opened his mouth and said—

"Little sister."

He had called Su Xiaoli's biological mother...

...Little sister.

Lin Mo's mouth twitched.

In fact, he had long known that Su Xiaoli was conceived by the world will.

But he had been more inclined to think that the concept of parents didn't exist in the eyes of the world will, so it didn't matter what he called her.

But now, not only did the world will have the concept of parents, but it had even actively admitted to being her mother.

Then Lin Mo had no reason not to acknowledge it.

Su Xiaoli didn't notice his strangeness and kept chattering away.

"Mom said she has always been watching us! From when I was little until now!"

"She also said she likes you very much and said you're a good boy!"

A good boy.

Someone praised him as a good boy.

And he had called her "little sister."

Lin Mo slowly closed his eyes and covered his face with his hand, feeling an urge to run away.

Deep in his mind, that warm golden fluctuation of the world will surged again.

This time, he clearly felt the emotion mixed within that fluctuation.

It was not anger.

It was a kind of extremely warm goodwill.

As if in the eyes of the world will, there was no such emotion as embarrassment at all.

He didn't know if it was faked or real.

Lin Mo was silent for a long time.

"...Yeah."

He reached out and rubbed Su Xiaoli's head.

"Having a mother is good."

Su Xiaoli happily narrowed her eyes and rubbed against his palm.

Lin Mo looked at the sky with a blank expression.

He swore he would definitely forget what happened before; he had never said anything about "little sister."

After hesitating for a long while, Lin Mo still took the initiative to communicate with the world will.

"Mom, can you send me to find the Tali Tribe now?"

It was just that this time, his tone made people feel very guilty.
