Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 374: Unrelated

Li Mo placed the Life Lake in God Prison.

Not imprisoned, mind you, merely packed up in a spacious area, with wonderful acoustics for the life origin to sway and dance to the music.

Li Mo stepped and he was in Endless Night city. A few more steps and he was beneath it.

Without the Life Lake, the underground was now one big empty cave, except for Ye Xiaolu and the cub resting on the side.

How is it?

Is it done?

Did you alone deal with millions of aliens?

Yep, and without lifting a finger too.

Ye Xiaolu stared stunned.

What of the Life Pearl?

Dorado mustve taken it.

But wasnt that thing a treasure? Why would you let that baddie take it?

Is it?

What is? Tch, the next time Ill jump in as well, or why the hell would I come for?

Its bes you get stronger first. Youre too weak to do much of anything.

Whats with the lake? By the looks of it you two were close.

Previous life karma.

Li Mo chuckled.

The past Li Mo had been chased by a strong Hexamand to Endless Night Planet. The place was already in ruins and by chance went beneath the city where he saw the Life Lake and Elven Queen.

Using a secret art, he hid underground to lick his wounds. The Hexamand sent soldiers after him when Life Lake broke from the Elven Queens seal and left. It was then the Elven Queen woke up and witnessed the strewn skeletons of her people littered in the city above, breaking her mind and turning into a psychotic killer

Li Mo stayed there for one month to heal.

He was alone against the universe, left with nothing but a music box to remember Earth by. When he would feel down, hed let it play.

On that day, music resounded underneath Endless Night city, catching the music loving Life Lakes interest.

Life Lake left quickly, but returned fast as well. She had no place to go. As she returned, she caught Li Mos music.

She moved to the rhythm. Li Mo didnt know she was powerful and suffered at first. But after putting up Guard, trust was slowly built, then feelings, then became true friends.

Karma could hardly be explained. Li Mo and Life Lake had it, as did the Elven Queen and Life Lake.

After Li Mo got the Life Lake, he came upon Elven Queen many times in his travels across the universe. At some point he released her from the Soul Manipulation Art and she killed herself.

Li Mo remembered it like yesterday. The Life Lake expressed unbearable grief at seeing the Elven Queen die.

Guess I was wrong about you, this time. Ye Xiaolu grunted.

What wrong?

Stop asking when you already know! Ye Xiaolu flipped him off.

Li Mo chuckled and took out the Staff of Origin.

Endless Nights business was over and now was time to leave.

Time waited for no one, and Li Mo was eager to meet God Huo.

Recalling how this bastard chased him three hundred years in the past, Li Mos anger surged.

God Huo was your typical thug. Chasing Li Mo when he was stronger, then cowering when Li Mo showed his tough side. He would hide in a hole somewhere and wait for Li Mo to pass by before moving on.

Li Mo never got to kill God Huo, but the guy sure lived up to be a pain in the ass, sending people after Li Mo. Like that Shen Gongbao guy from Investiture of the Gods. 

Great human, what are you doing?

The Elven Queen flew by just as Li Mo popped a Gate.

Leaving. This place is settled and its time I go.

The Elven Queen said, You may go, but leave the Life Lake behind!

Li Mo looked stunned.

Cecilia, all the races of the universe call you an idiot. They werent wrong

H-how do you know my name? Cecilia stammered.

Of course I know. At that time you

Cecilias face fell, recalling those memories Li Mo shared.

That doesnt matter. Life Lake stays!

I am the savior of your race. Is this how you treat me?

I am not forcing you. I will only tell you a grave story, a story about the Drows future.

Cecilia grew unsettled.

Great human, we Drows put price on affection. You saved us and we will never forget you. But the Life Lake is very important to us. If you take her away, no Drow will be born again.

Only the breath of life from the Life Lake can give Drows a future

Cecilia kneeled, Great human, I was rude to you and I am sorry. But the Life Lake is far too important to us. We will do anything, hear all your request, as long as you return the Life Lake.

Ye Xiaolu rolled her eyes, I just knew it. This was your aim all along.

What aim?

What else, snatching women. No matter how honorable you were before, your mind is homed in on nothing but boning.

Stand aside!

Li Mo kicked her far away.

What you say by no future, you mean that without Life Lake, you cannot survive on this planet?

Cecilia nodded.

Your Grace, I have a question.

Please speak, great human!

You live on this planet, a sunless planet shrouded in eternal darkness. With your power, leaving for a better planet shouldnt be a problem. Why didnt you?

Cecilia froze then said, Since ancient times, me and my ancestors have only lived here

You care too much about this place to leave?

Not at all. Just that no ancestor said to leave, so why would we? Cecilia blinked her doe eyes.

Pfff~

Ye Xiaolu spat the water she just drank.

She saw her fair share of idiots, but this type that had gears ground to a halt was an absolute first.

Li Mo threw a Stellar Orientation Array on the ground from his ring.

Whats this?

Take your people through this array and you will reach a beautiful planet, your new home.

Why would you insist on staying on this dark and glum place? Money, jewels? Theres nothing here! If you dont leave now, then you are the dumbest being in the world!

Leave, all of you. This is my answer to your plight.

Also, once you arrive, you no longer need the Life Lake. That said, I do not have to return her to you.

Why? These two matters are unrelated. Cecilia sighed, clueless.
