"what?"
Gu Yue stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her voice filled with shock, "Your consciousness went to the Origin Space, so you saw...?"
“Yes!” Su Mo nodded. “I saw the Spirit of the Plane.”
"Sigh~"
Gu Yue gasped, never expecting to encounter such a bizarre thing during the time Su Mo was unconscious.
Did the spirit of that dimension say anything to you?
Although she didn't know why Su Mo's consciousness went to the Origin Space, based on her understanding of Su Mo, since Su Mo brought this up on his own initiative, it meant that something must have happened in the Origin Space.
After omitting some details, Su Mo told Gu Yue everything about the Tang couple and the spirit of the plane.
"..."
After listening to Su Mo's story, Gu Yue frowned, her face contorted in a grimace.
After a long silence, Gu Yue slowly spoke, "Su Mo, don't you think that Tang Hao and his wife's actions of stealing the power of the plane's spirit are suspicious in every way?"
Although Su Mo roughly knew what Gu Yue meant by "abnormal," he still pretended to be puzzled. "Abnormal! What's abnormal about it?"
Seeing Su Mo's confusion, Gu Yue felt a surge of inexplicable pride.
"Look, the Spirit of the Plane says that Tang Hao and his wife only began to steal the power of the plane after Huo Yuhao ascended to heaven ten thousand years ago."
"But the God Realm did not disappear at that time. If Tang San was determined to help his father become the new ruler of the plane, the spirit of the plane would have no room for resistance and would never have been able to hold out until now."
"There's only one possibility that the Spirit of the Planes has managed to hold on until now..."
Gu Yue didn't continue speaking, but looked at Su Mo.
Seeing this, Su Mo could easily understand that Gu Yue was testing him.
After silently cursing Gu Yue in his heart, he said in a deep voice, "You mean Tang San deliberately made Tang Hao do this!"
"Not bad!"
Gu Yue nodded in agreement, "Moreover, I suspect that Tang San's actions may be related to the arrival of the Abyss Plane."
"Abyssal plane?"
Upon hearing Gu Yue mention the Abyss Plane, a look of solemnity flashed across Su Mo's face.
Although he hadn't had much contact with the Abyss Plane, Su Mo knew all too well just how powerful it was.
The fact that the Soul Beast race was able to survive until Gu Yue emerged from the mountain had nothing to do with Di Tian and his guerrilla tactics; it was entirely due to the Abyss Plane drawing fire from the sidelines.
If it weren't for the sudden arrival of the Abyss Plane attracting 90% of the Sun and Moon Federation's fighting force, the Star Dou Forest would have been razed to the ground six thousand years ago.
Surrounded by the Sun and Moon Federation army, even with the Dragon God Claw in hand, Di Tian would have no chance of escaping.
The reason the federal government didn't take action against the Star Dou Forest was because it was afraid that pushing the Soul Beast race too far would cause them to turn around and join forces with the Abyss.
Once the Soul Beast race and the Abyss join forces, the human camp's defenses, which have been maintained at the cost of countless lives, will collapse instantly.
Di Tian, that brainless bastard, couldn't have considered this, but the human leadership wouldn't dare gamble the lives of everyone on the entire Douluo Continent on the fact that Di Tian was a blockhead.
Seeing that Su Mo remained silent, Gu Yue didn't mind and continued, "I suspect that Tang San deliberately lured us to the Abyss Plane!"
"According to the memories passed down from the Dragon God, the Abyss Plane is an energy plane that evolves by plundering the energy of the material plane."
"For the Abyss Plane, which is an energy plane, to invade the material plane, a prerequisite must be met: the material plane must be in a state of decay and the laws of the plane must begin to blur."
"Otherwise, no matter how powerful the Abyss Plane is, it would be impossible to directly open the gate to the Material Plane."
Chapter 153 Gu Yue's Bluffing
"Tang San's actions of having his father, Tang Hao, steal the power of the plane and having his mother absorb the life essence of the plane are undoubtedly weakening the laws of the plane."
"So I now seriously suspect that I am not the only one who has been tricked by Tang San, but also the Abyss Plane."
Listening to Gu Yue's logical analysis, Su Mo couldn't help but applaud Gu Yue in his heart.
Gu Yue's analysis was largely consistent with Su Mo's own guess.
But that was just speculation, nothing like Gu Yue's well-reasoned and evidence-based argument.
The speculation that the arrival of the Abyss Plane is related to Tang San is simply because Tang San couldn't possibly go through all that trouble to make his father a Plane Spirit, only to have him swallowed up by the Abyss.
"Then what do we do next?"
Su Mo looked at Gu Yue curiously, wanting to know what Gu Yue planned to do next.
"Of course, it's about reaping the benefits without lifting a finger!"
Gu Yue looked at Su Mo with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, lightly tapped Su Mo's forehead and said in an annoyed tone, "Since Tang San schemed against the Abyss Plane, he must have prepared a big gift for the Abyss Plane just like he schemed against me."
"We just need to wait quietly for them to finish fighting, and then we can come out and reap the final victory."
Su Mo ignored Gu Yue's disdainful gaze and instead looked at Gu Yue with a hint of suspicion.
"Hey, Su Mo, what kind of look is that?"
Gu Yue was very dissatisfied with Su Mo's suspicious gaze.
Seeing this, Su Mo quickly shook his head, "I just have some doubts about whether we, these worthless nobodys, really have the ability to reap the rewards of victory?"
"What if the Abyss Plane also knows about Tang San's backup plan and has made countermeasures, just like you? What should we do then?"
"..."
Gu Yue remained silent, a rare occurrence for him.
"No, what are you waiting for?!"
Gu Yue's sudden silence left Su Mo bewildered.
Su Mo had complete confidence in Tang San's abilities.
Since Tang San has schemed against the Abyss Plane, there is absolutely no way the Abyss Plane can escape Tang San's grasp.
He said this entirely to try and find out Gu Yue's true strength.
In that case, I can take advantage of Gu Yue's strength a little.
But judging from Gu Yue's current situation, he was overthinking it; Gu Yue seems to be incredibly incompetent.
Feeling a little embarrassed by Su Mo's gaze, Gu Yue pulled Su Mo to the bathroom and said seriously, "Su Mo, I can tell you about this, but you must not tell anyone else."
"OK!"
Seeing Gu Yue's serious expression, Su Mo nodded without hesitation.
Seeing that Su Mo had agreed, Gu Yue released her right hand from Su Mo's collar, pursed her lips shyly, and said in a voice barely above a whisper, "Except for my mental strength, which is still at the god level, I'm about the same as you in other aspects!"
"So the powerful aura you possessed back then was simulated using your mental power?"
Su Mo asked, still somewhat unwilling to give up.
Su Mo still vividly remembers how Gu Yue's mere aura made Di Tian and the others tremble in fear.
"Ok!"
Gu Yue blushed and nodded shyly.
"Then your statement, 'Today I led you to end the rule of mankind, and when the divine realm returns in the future, the gods will also follow suit,' was also just to fool Di Tian and the others."
"Um……"
Gu Yue responded in a barely audible voice, too guilty to even lift her head.
Seeing Gu Yue, who was so guilty that she didn't even have the courage to look him in the eye and buried her head like an ostrich, Su Mo, who wanted to cling to Gu Yue's leg, felt numb.
No wonder Gu Yue went through such a long and complicated process to revive the soul beast race; it turns out she doesn't have any power at all right now.
God-level mental power sounds impressive, but it's actually pretty useless.
Moreover, with Gu Yue's current fragile little body, she simply cannot unleash the full potential of a god-level spiritual power.
The only thing that made Su Mo feel fortunate was Gu Yue's trust in her.
The fact that Gu Yue was able to tell her such a thing shows that Gu Yue's trust in her is absolutely 100%.
Otherwise, if he had even the slightest disloyalty, Gu Yue would probably be dead beyond any doubt.
Su Mo gently rubbed Gu Yue's head and softly comforted her, "It's okay, it's not a big problem!"
"I won't tell anyone else about this."
"Su Mo..."
Listening to Su Mo's gentle comfort, Gu Yue raised her head, and a thin layer of mist appeared in her bright eyes as she looked at Su Mo. Her voice was gentler than ever before.
An enchanting atmosphere instantly spread between Su Mo and Gu Yue.
Just as Su Mo was about to lower his head and savor Gu Yue's cherry lips once more, a series of urgent knocks sounded at the door.
"I%&"
Hearing the knocking on the door, Su Mo really wanted to curse.
"Go open the door first!"
Gu Yue blushed and stammered as she spoke.
"Ok!"
Su Mo nodded helplessly.
As soon as Su Mo opened the door, she saw Tang Wulin holding a gift box and looking nervous.
"Su Mo, what are you doing in Gu Yue's room?"
Upon seeing Su Mo appear in Gu Yue's room, Tang Wulin's eyes widened in disbelief, his face instantly turning ashen. He then staggered back a few steps as if he couldn't bear the shock.
Fortunately, Su Mo reacted quickly and grabbed Tang Wulin, preventing him from falling to the ground.
Su Mo pretended not to see through Tang Wulin's thoughts and said calmly, "It's nothing. I just picked out a lot of good things in the Tianhai Treasure Vault."
"It's a good opportunity to give Gu Yue something."
Upon hearing that Su Mo had come to deliver something to Gu Yue, Tang Wulin immediately and discreetly put away the gift box in his hand, and asked with a strong and calm demeanor, "What is it?"
"The Seven Treasures Heart-Protecting Grass can enhance mental strength!"
