Unlimited Sword God System

Chapter 283
No one would believe it, but Su Mo actually saw a real tree on this continent formed by the energy of the heavenly calamity cloud!
This is simply a fantasy, because the Jieyun Continent is just the Jieyun Gathering of the Heavenly Tribulation, not a real land, and it is no different from the clouds in essence, so why does such a tree appear here?
When things go wrong, there must be demons. It must not be easy for a tree to take root in the clouds of catastrophe.
Su Mo felt that his chance had come.
This tree might be his opportunity and bring him unimaginable huge benefits.
I saw that the tree was rooted in the Jieyun Continent. It was no more than three feet high, and its whole body was like jade.
From the robbery cloud, energy is constantly being absorbed by the root system, and then merged into the body of the small tree.
Those energies are extremely pure powers of catastrophe, golden thunderbolts, and at this moment they all turned into nourishment for that little tree.
What's even more astonishing is that on this fruit tree, there are actually seven golden fruits, which are as big as an apple, maybe even smaller, but the brilliance of the surface is flowing, even if it is separated by a long distance You can smell the bursts of fragrance from the fruit.
These seven golden fruits are obviously the essence of this tree.
Because of the fruit, Su Mo called this small tree "Thunder Tribulation Fruit Tree".
The moment Su Mo saw the fruit, he had already made up his mind that he must pick all of these fruits. The fragrance of this fruit makes people salivate, and it is the essence condensed by Heavenly Tribulation, so it must be extraordinary.
Even, Su Mo was still thinking that if given the chance, he would definitely uproot that tree and transplant it to Su Garden.
Although Su Yuan already had a lot of spiritual plant medicines, it seemed that there were really no rare treasures like the Thunder Tribulation Fruit Tree.
If it is possible to transplant this strange tree that originally grew on the Leijie Continent to Su Garden, then Su Su and Zhao Linger will be very happy, and Su Mo will be able to suffer less from Su Su when he returns to Su Garden. Feel free to see more smiling faces.
……
Picking the Thunder Tribulation Fruit is a later story. Right now, after hacking Thanos to death, the mutated Heaven Tribulation killed another wave, hitting Su Mo head-on.
These mutated cataclysms are not simple. You must know that they had killed Thanos not long ago. Under the bombardment of the Heavenly Tribulation, even without a chance of resurrection, he was completely reduced to fly ash, and even his soul was turned into ashes, not to mention soul fragments, not a single drop of soul scum was left.
Su Mo didn't have the immortal body of Thanos, so he felt a lot of pressure in the face of this sudden catastrophe.
Now in front of him, there are two options, one is to hide.
Hiding far away, hiding firmly.
How can the catastrophe be avoided?In front of Tianjie, even if he hides to the ends of the earth, Tianjie can follow him to the ends of the earth. Ordinary monks don't even dare to think about it.
But Su Mo is different, he has Su Yuan with him, he is the master of a complete fragmented world, as long as he wants, he can hide in Su Yuan with a single thought.
Although the power of the Heavenly Tribulation is strong, but it will not be able to cross the barrier of the big world for a while and enter the Su Garden. At least Su Mo's life can be guaranteed.
It's just that he can hide on the first day of the junior high school but not on the fifteenth day. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Su Mo is not willing to blindly hide in the Su garden.
Because the catastrophe is the manifestation of the supreme law of heaven, it is a test of the monk's cultivation, and the monk can be said to be in an endless situation. Su Mo can hide, but he will still come out of Su Garden after all.
The moment he came out of Su Garden, he still had to face the thunderous wrath of Heavenly Tribulation. Even because of Su Mo's hiding, Heavenly Tribulation had gained wrath during this period, and its power might even increase to a higher level. It will be really troublesome then.
If he couldn't hide blindly, then there was only the second way for Su Mo - use his own strength to fight against the Heavenly Tribulation, as long as he slashed the Heavenly Tribulation, he would have no troubles.
But he kept provoking Tian Jie with words before, which made Tian Jie accumulate extremely strong power, and even Thanos could kill with one blow. At this time, it was really difficult for Su Mo to deal with it.
However, he had no way out, and now he unleashed his most powerful attack method, and pushed his defense to the extreme, wanting to fight the second wave of Heavenly Tribulation after mutation.
"what happened?"
The second wave of catastrophe poured down like a river of heaven, and it exploded three inches between Su Mo's eyebrows.
But the power of Heavenly Tribulation was much lower than what Su Mo expected, not even the power of ordinary Tribulation Thunder.
This wave of thunder seemed to be loud, but the raindrops were very small, just like drizzle.
"With such a small power, I don't believe that the mutated Heavenly Tribulation will be so easy to deal with. There must be fraud in it!"
After Su Mo finished speaking, his eyes suddenly brightened.
……
In front of Su Mo, a light appeared. This light represented the ultimate light and guided Su Mo's way forward.
Su Mo stepped on this light and kept moving forward until he reached a portal.
He pushed open the portal and walked into the portal world.
The world behind the door turned out to be Earth!
Not the Earth of the Marvel universe, but the Earth of this world.
Su Mo pushed the door open, stepped out, and returned to the present earth.
He returned to the Jiangcheng villa, Lin Qianye did not go out this time, but waited for him at home.
"You're back, Brother Su?"
Seeing Su Mo coming back, Lin Qianye smiled coquettishly at Su Mo, stood up and greeted him enthusiastically.
It was the first time for Su Mo to hear Lin Qianye call him "Brother Su", and he thought it was too sweet, too sweet, but he couldn't refute anything.
"Brother Su, tomorrow is a good day. Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow and get the marriage certificate, shall we?"
Lin Qianye held Su Mo's arm, and with a sweet and gentle smile, she leaned into Su Mo's arms and said.
Su Mo: "..."
He was a little dazed, his relationship with Lin Qianye was good, and it was undeniable that there were indeed some ambiguous feelings, but was it good enough to talk about marriage?
Su Mo felt panicked in his heart.
"What, don't you want to be responsible, Brother Su? Even if you don't want Qianye, don't you want the child in Qianye's belly? Qianye's belly is full of your own flesh and blood!"
Lin Qianye burst into tears, and gently stroked her stomach and said.
Su Mo: "..."
It's so stupid, and it's getting more and more stupid.
This is the rhythm of wanting to be a father!
"Qianye, you can't talk nonsense. When did we have that kind of relationship? Since it didn't happen, how could you be pregnant with my child?"
Su Mo said helplessly.
Lin Qianye didn't speak, but wept in a low voice.
At the same time, Su Mo felt a strange memory rush into his mind instantly, making him in a trance for a moment.
Then, he "remembered" that he and Lin Qianye had consummated their marriage.
On that day, the sky was drizzling, and the two of them went boating on the lake, on a black-covered boat...
The awning boat swayed for more than ten minutes before slowly calming down. Lin Qianye looked at Su Mo with tears in his eyes, and the two of them made a decision for life.
This is Su Mo's new memory, but it seems to have been buried in his heart for decades, and there seems to be no sense of disobedience.
But Su Mo still had some doubts in his heart. He always felt that something was wrong with his memory.
It's not because this memory is unreal, in fact, this memory is too real, every detail is clearly depicted, even the appearance of the awning boat, what kind of patterns are carved on the boat, every time When rocking the boat, the boat swayed on the lake and made several circles of ripples, which Su Mo remembered clearly.
The question is, who is free to memorize these boring details?
The more real the memory seemed, the more suspicious it seemed.
But Lin Qianye had already pounced on him again, she threw herself into Su Mo's arms like a suckling swallow into the forest, and patted his chest lightly.
"Well, Lin Qianye's personality is also a bit problematic. How could the former Lin Qianye call me 'Brother Su'? It would be considered polite to call me Su Mo directly. And with Lin Qianye's carefree appearance, why? Is it possible to make such a gentle move?"
The next day, Su Mo and Lin Qianye went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificates.
Because by the next day, Su Mo had forgotten all the unreasonable factors in his memory, and that memory seemed to have an automatic modification function, which automatically fine-tuned the parts that Su Mo thought were unreasonable, so that Su Mo could There is nothing wrong with it.
Su Mo and Lin Qianye lived a happy life on this earth. Su Mo discovered that he was not a monk at all, just an ordinary person, and Lin Qianye was not a monk either. It was true that he was rich.
Yes, after Su Mo's memory was restored, he no longer considered himself a monk, but became an ordinary person with peace of mind.
On this day, a woman as charming as a flower found Su Mo.
She told Su Mo that her name was "Hanxiao" and she was a flower fairy named "Hanxiao". When Su Mo traveled to the plane of A Chinese Ghost Story, he brought her out from the world of painted walls.
Before, because she forcibly walked out of the painting wall world, she lost her sanity and became an ignorant and ordinary flower.
But after so many years of exposure to the sun and rain, and absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, she recovered, restored her own cultivation, re-opened her spiritual wisdom, and transformed into a graceful woman with a life.
Of course, Su Mo didn't believe a word of such wording, because at this time he firmly believed that he was an ordinary person, so he didn't believe in strange power and chaos at all.
Su Mo only felt that this girl named "Hanxiao" was probably stupid. It was a pity that she was a beautiful girl but her brain was not working well.
"Hanxiao" did not show the slightest anger because of Su Mo's disbelief.
Because Su Mo had become a senior executive of a company after years of development, he applied to Su Mo's company with a smile and became Su Mo's secretary.
From then on, no matter where Su Mo went, as long as he was not at home, he would have such a secretary by his side to take care of everything for him at work.
Hanxiao's ability to work is very strong, gradually Su Mo starts to look at Hanxiao with admiration, and because of her strong ability to work, Su Mo becomes more and more dependent on Hanxiao, almost to the point of being inseparable from her.
A few years later, a little girl named Zhao Ling'er came to Su Mo's company.
That day, Su Mo was taking the elevator downstairs when a little girl carrying a box of documents recklessly broke into the elevator, bumped into Su Mo's body, and scattered the documents all over the floor.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
The little girl hurriedly apologized to Su Mo non-stop.
Su Mo waved his hand, without embarrassing her, then bent down to help her pick up the documents scattered in the elevator.
The little girl was extremely tall, with sparkling eyes, as if she could speak. When Su Mo and her looked at each other, his heart, which had been quiet for many years, couldn't help but jump.
At this moment, the little girl recognized Su Mo, and said in panic, "Ah, I didn't see clearly just now, it turned out to be you, President Su!"
Judging by the little girl's expression, she was obviously excited and terrified.
"Why, you know me?" Su Mo asked majesticly.
"I know, of course I know, I've seen your photo. It's just that you are... younger and more handsome than in the photo, so I didn't recognize you just now. My name is Zhao Linger, and I'm new here Intern, please give me some pointers from President Su."
Zhao Linger stretched out her hand, wanting to shake Su Mo's hand.
Su Mo held her hand and gave her a positive look.
"Although the company has a company system, your level is not enough to see me often. But I will give you a privilege. If you encounter any unsolvable problems in your work in the future, you can come to me directly. I will notify me The secretary smiled, as long as you come to my office, no matter what time, you will not stop me."
When the two of them said this, the elevator door opened, and Su Mo walked out of the elevator, leaving Zhao Linger silently watching Su Mo's back.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Su Mo was over 50 years old, and Lin Qianye left him a daughter named "Su Su".
Su Su is already in her teens, and she has just graduated from junior high school, which is the age of rebellion.
Whenever Su Su came home, she would deliberately quarrel with Su Mo, find various reasons to reprimand Su Mo, but Su Mo was never annoyed, and chose to tolerate all of Su Su's behaviors, just like a doting The girl's daughter slave.
Su Mo's world began to move forward in an orderly manner. Whether it was Lin Qianye, Hanxiao, Zhao Linger, or Su Su, they all became important people in his life and played various roles in his life.
Until one day, Su Mo woke up from a nightmare, and felt a voice above his head, asking his heart!
