Guarding a reservoir? I am guarding the river of time!.

Chapter 623 The End of Time Gave Him the Answer: He Became the Strongest, But Also Lost His Heart.
Dong'er stepped onto the Plain of First Birth, her feet landing on the soft soil.

There was no lingering smell of blood in the air, only petals drifting down, all of them white, like falling snow.

At first glance, the once lush green field is now covered with white petals.

At the center, the petals were already stained red with blood.

A man knelt on the ground, holding blood-stained flower petals in front of him, sobbing softly.

On the vast Plain of First Life, the sound of a man's sobs echoed, his grief and resolve appearing utterly desolate and regrettable at that moment.

Dong'er didn't see the enemy. It seems we've won. It seems our master has won.

But why is the owner crying?
Dong'er didn't approach, but watched from a distance, then turned away and stopped looking.

The most powerful man in the world shouldn't appear so helpless, nor should he want others to see him like this. He should be great, invincible, and high above the nine heavens.
Therefore, Dong'er did not approach, but stayed at a distance without going to see.

And so, in the cradle of hope, the heart-wrenching sobs of a man echoed.

Time had passed, and in the Primordial Plains, time was chaotic and disordered, long since lost its concept. Dong'er had also forgotten how long she had been waiting there, but she had never left. She represented all the family members behind her master, accompanying him, accompanying their master, and accompanying Su Mu.
Su Mu was bewildered. When his pupils regained focus, he found that his hair had turned completely white, the blood on the ground had long since dried, and the flower petals had already withered.
He slowly stood up, swaying unsteadily, having lost his bearings.

Yes, Su Mu won. He defeated his most powerful enemy, took control of the river of time, and became the true "Supreme," without exception. No one can kill him now.

But his heart had already been killed.

Her own daughter sacrificed herself to complete her memories of countless worlds and killed Gu Chensha, but she turned into memories and completely disappeared from the world.

thump—

thump—

I heard light footsteps behind me.

Su Mu turned around and asked the unfamiliar young woman, "Who are you?"

His tone was completely calm, devoid of any emotional fluctuation; nothing in the world could stir even the slightest ripple in his heart.

“Master, my name is Dong’er.”

"This is the first time you've met me."

"But I have already seen you countless times."

Dong'er spoke to Su Mu, her heart filled with trepidation, for she was conversing with the strongest being in the world, and this was an instinctive sense of awe, even though he was her master.

"Oh"

Su Mu nodded calmly. He wasn't even interested in asking where Dong'er came from or why she came, because it was meaningless to him.

Su Mu lowered his head and bent over, beginning to search for something in the Primordial Plains.
Seeing this, Dong'er neither disturbed nor asked any questions, but instead helped with the search.

And so, the two began their search across the vast, silent Plain of Beginnings.
After searching for an unknown amount of time, Dong'er came to Su Mu with something in her hands: "Master, is this what you're looking for?"

Su Mu looked over and saw a broken plum blossom hairpin in Dong'er's hand. In an instant, his vision blurred. He picked up the plum blossom hairpin from Dong'er's hand and was lost in thought for a long time.

Dong'er didn't disturb them, but quietly stepped aside.

After a long while, Su Mu came to his senses, rolled up his sleeves, and began to dig in the soil with his hands.

He only needed to think about it, but he still used his own hands to dig the soil.

After digging a small pit, he carefully placed the broken plum blossom hairpin inside. His little girl was still so small; only in a small room could she feel safe.
After placing the plum blossom hairpin inside, Su Mu used his hands to build a small mound of earth. On the vast grassland, only this one small mound remained.

He stood in front of the small mound, lost in thought for a long time, neither moving nor leaving, just standing there.

At this moment, Dong'er cautiously approached, took out a spider lily from her sleeve, and gently placed it in front of the small mound.
"Master, I have heard that the red spider lily can cross the endless void to convey your feelings. She will surely hear your heart's voice."

Although Dong'er didn't know who her master had buried, she knew it must have been the most important person in her master's life.

When Su Mu saw the spider lily in front of the little mound, he was stunned!
The scene before him was like a powerful electric current piercing his heart, leaving him stunned.

A memory from the past surfaced in my mind.

He once went to the lower reaches of the river of time, where he found a grassland with a small mound on it.

When he saw the small mound, he was overwhelmed with endless grief, and at the time, he couldn't understand where that grief came from.

Now he understood, he understood everything.

The small mound he saw at the end of the river of time had already sealed his fate, destined that Nannan would die for him.

At that time, he didn't realize it, and by the time he truly understood, it was too late.
It's too late, everything is too late.
Su Mu leaned against the small mound, sat down, and, disregarding his image, burst into tears.

As Dong'er watched her master's heart-wrenching cries, her own heart ached—an unparalleled, unbearable pain. What kind of sorrow could have caused the most powerful master in the world to be so heartbroken?
She didn't know how to comfort her, nor should she; all attempts at comfort would be meaningless.

After crying for a long time, Su Mu stood up, as if he had made up his mind, and asked Dong'er, "Are they alright?"

"They are outside, waiting for their master; they are all well."

"That's what Dong'er replied."

"Take me to see my children."

In Su Mu's eyes, the eldest brother Wu Zhong and the others were all the little guys in the family, all his children.

"it is good."

Dong'er nodded heavily, and led Su Mu away from the Primordial Plains, heading towards the Long River.

at the same time.

Before reaching the other side of the river of time, no one had left; they had been waiting, waiting for news of their master.

Finally, two figures appeared at the end, coming into everyone's view.

Everyone was very excited. The owner came out, and it seemed like the owner had won!

This is their first time meeting their owner in "human" form, and they are all very excited.

Su Mu stepped out, passed through the mist, and arrived at the other side of the River of Time.

Upon closer inspection, one sees familiar yet unfamiliar faces.

At this moment, Su Mu seemed somewhat dazed.
P.S.: This book will continue to be updated and will definitely bring you a complete ending, so please don't worry.

The young author has started a new book called "I Am My Inner Demon, and the Protagonist Wants to Kill Me?", which is also being released on QRead. If you like it, you can go and support it.

I will update this book, "The River of Time," from time to time. After it is completed, I will also occasionally update some extra chapters.

I can't bear to let this magnificent story end badly. Nobody wants to see it, and neither do I.
