“Master, it seems I made it through.”

However, the old man stood still, not answering Su Mo.

“Master!”

Su Mo couldn't help but call out again in a soft voice.

*Pu~*

At this moment, the old man's face flushed red, and then he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

His once radiant face, as if the final glow before death had faded, became exceptionally old and twisted, and his entire body was teetering.

Su Mo's heart also jolted, and he quickly reached out to support the old man.

“Master, what’s wrong with you?”

“I’m fine, don’t worry about me, go open the door.”

The old man said weakly.

“Okay.”

Su Mo responded quickly, supporting the old man as he walked towards the special metal wall.

When the two reached the metal wall, the old man said to Su Mo.

“You don’t need to support me, put your hands on it!”

“Okay!”

Su Mo then followed the old man’s instructions and placed his hands on the metal wall.

The old man then said to Su Mo, “Concentrate your mind, slowly close your eyes, and feel the blood flowing within your body.”

“Yes!”

Su Mo followed the old man’s instructions, slowly closing his eyes and quietly feeling the flow of blood within his body.

“Use your spirit to control and unleash their power…”

The old man taught weakly.

Su Mo followed the old man’s guidance, constantly trying to activate the power of his bloodline. He felt an unusual pain in his body, but he did not back down. Instead, he gritted his teeth and let out a low roar.

In an instant, countless black auras burst out from Su Mo’s body, pouring into the metal wall.

Those black auras, like ink, stained the entire metal wall, and then a special black vortex pattern emerged.

*Rumble~*

The entire special metal wall cracked irregularly.

“Success!”

Su Mo suddenly opened his eyes, saying with some disbelief.

The old man’s aged face revealed an increasingly excited expression. Without hesitation, he walked straight in.

Su Mo quickly followed.

At that moment, the two entered a special hangar, and a very special star destroyer stood before them.

The entire star destroyer was 128 kilometers long. The ship was in the shape of a sword, covered in special snow-white bionic armor plates. Three dazzling main guns stood at the bow, and numerous launch ports and special defense devices were densely packed all over the ship. The entire ship gave off an indescribable sense of shock.

Su Mo's mind also went blank as he looked at this star destroyer.

The old man froze in place when he saw this star destroyer.

“Haha!”

After a long time, he slowly raised his head. His expression reversed one hundred and eighty degrees, his eyes became extremely crazy, and his expression became extremely evil. He let out a twisted laugh, and walked towards the star destroyer step by step.

Su Mo was also startled. He suddenly turned his head to look at the old man, and was also stunned.

He felt that the old man’s expression, behavior, and temperament had undergone earth-shattering changes, appearing extremely strange, as if he were a different person.

“I finally found it, haha!”

The old man walked up to the star destroyer, reached out and pressed his hand on the hull, laughing madly!

The entire laughter sent chills down Su Mo’s spine. However, at this moment, the laughter suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Su Mo softly called out.

“Master? Are you alright?”

Unfortunately, the old man supporting the star destroyer did not respond at all. Su Mo then called out again.

Seeing this, Su Mo reached out and tried to touch the old man.

As a result, the old man fell down.

Su Mo quickly reached out and hugged the old man, anxiously shouting.

“Master, wake up…”

The old man, who had passed out, slowly opened his cloudy eyes upon hearing Su Mo’s call.

“Master, you’re awake. Are you alright? I’ll go get a doctor for you.”

At this time, the old man reached out and grabbed Su Mo’s hand tightly, saying with extreme weakness.

“No need, I’m beyond saving.”

“No, I won’t let you say discouraging things. I will definitely cure you.”

Su Mo’s body suddenly trembled upon hearing the old man’s words, and his eyes instantly turned red.

“It can’t be cured, listen to me.”

The old man said with some excitement.

“You say!”

Su Mo quickly replied.

“From today onwards, I officially pass the position of Emperor of the Heilong Empire to you. From now on, you will be the Emperor of the Heilong Empire, understand?”

The old man said with great difficulty.

“Understood, Master.”

Su Mo’s eyes suddenly became wet, and he replied with great sorrow in his heart.

At this time, the old man slowly raised his right hand, signaling Su Mo to take off the black dragon-patterned gemstone ring on his thumb.

Su Mo slowly reached out and took it off.

“Wear it, cough cough…”

The old man coughed violently as soon as he spoke, and black blood kept overflowing.

“Master, don’t talk anymore, I’ll go get a doctor.”

Su Mo was shocked and quickly comforted him.

“No, no need, I really can’t hold on any longer. But it doesn’t matter, my wish has been fulfilled. I only ask you one thing.”

The old man’s eyes began to wander.

“You say it.”

“Take them and live well, and continue the bloodline of the Heilong Empire.”

When the old man said this, a trace of relief was revealed in his eyes. He finally gave up his wish for Su Mo to restore the country, and did not leave the obsession to Su Mo.

“Okay! Master, I promise you, hold on…”

Su Mo wiped away his tears, constantly nodding in response.

“Very… good… you…”

After hearing Su Mo’s answer, the old man no longer insisted. His pupils began to dilate, and his raised hand slowly fell down.

“Master!”

Su Mo shook his body in great sorrow, hoping that he could wake up again, but he remained motionless.

Su Mo's body trembled suddenly, and he sadly placed the old man's body on the ground. Then, he slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and bowed deeply to the old man's remains.

“Master, rest in peace!”

At this moment, Creator·Devourer floated in. It was shocked when it saw the old man's body lying on the ground. It asked in disbelief.

“Su Mo, the old man is dead?”

“Dead.”

Su Mo replied to Xiao Shi in a hoarse voice.

Xiao Shi was silent for a long time and said in a low voice: "It's good to be dead. This is not necessarily a good thing for him, and it can be regarded as a relief. After all, he has lived his whole life for obsession."

“Maybe.”

Su Mo’s heart became heavier after hearing Xiao Shi’s words.

“Okay, people always have to look forward. If the old man were alive, he probably wouldn’t want to see you acting coy. And his life is not a loss, spanning three eras and witnessing countless events!”

Creator·Devourer said to Su Mo.

“Ah.”

Su Mo breathed a long sigh. Although he understood the reasoning, his heart was still heavy.

Creator·Devourer didn’t try to persuade him anymore. Some things still needed to be figured out by himself.
