Chapter 443: The Light of Hope Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Hope represents love through selfless sacrifice . Do you know about the Titanic?” Shen Jing gazed at the surface of the sea, a look of longing in her eyes . As her hand clutched the Hope Diamond, she seemed to have been transported to the distant past .
“I have heard of it . If this ship sinks, I will think of a way to make sure you live, even if it costs me my life . ” As he spoke, Mo Wen had a look that resembled some weird uncle who was trying to trick young girls .
“You and your mouth! How could such a fine ship sink?” Shen Jing rolled her eyes at Mo Wen .
“I was just giving an example,” Mo Wen said innocently .
Shen Jing looked at the surface of the sea in the distance . She then said in a somewhat melancholy manner, “Love, renowned far and wide, has always had poignant endings . I have always wanted love to be simpler, where we can journey together hand-in-hand and grow old together . ”
“Then, I will hold onto your hand and journey with you until we are old,” Mo Wen said, while hugging Shen Jing in his arms and staring at the ocean .
“I hope you can do exactly as you say,” she said .
“Of course . You can’t run away from me now,” he assured her .
“The legend says that the Hope Diamond is cursed . All of its owners will supposedly encounter bad luck,” Shen Jing said with an obsessed gaze, while holding the blue diamond in her hands .
“Are you scared?” Mo Wen asked her .
As Mo Wen glanced at the Hope Diamond, a complicated look flashed in his eyes . He could sense that this diamond was extraordinary . However, exactly how it was different from any others, he couldn’t tell one bit .
There was a vague aura that was fluctuating on the surface of the diamond, which was most likely the power of the curse . Perhaps, when others said that it was cursed, they weren’t just spreading rumors . This item really was extraordinary!
He had given the Hope Diamond to Shen Jing anyway because his instincts told him that the diamond wouldn’t harm her . As for why, he couldn’t explain that .

However, he trusted his instincts because they had originated from the Divine Soul Trillion Layers’ instinctive reaction towards the Heavens and Earth . Before this, he didn’t have this ability .
“Anyhow, I am not scared of it . We have hit it off with one another!” Shen Jing said with a smile, while holding onto the diamond . She rubbed it gently with her palm, as though she was caressing a child .
“Hit it off?” Mo Wen asked her quizzically .
“Yes! Every time I hold it in my palm, I can sense an intimate aura shared between us . It is as though it is my own child . It is very dependent on me . Every time I caress it, it doesn’t want to leave my hand!” Shen Jing turned her head sideways, pondering this intimate attachment carefully .
“Do you think a stone has emotions?” Mo Wen asked, speechless . Why didn’t I notice that the stone was like a child to her?
“Regardless, I can sense it . It is very dependent on me!” Shen Jing said confidently .
“Okay, okay,” Mo Wen said helplessly .
“Don’t you like me? If I give you away, you will surely be unhappy without me, right?” Shen Jing cooed, speaking directly to the Hope Diamond .
Mo Wen beamed and touched Shen Jing’s face . Sometimes, this girl is unexpectedly naive!
At that moment, the Hope Diamond suddenly emitted a ray of bright blue light, which enveloped Shen Jing in an instant . Mo Wen was so stunned, he couldn’t move his body at all . His stiff hands held onto Shen Jing’s waist, and his eyes were filled with horror as he stared at the blue gemstone .
It was as though he was faced with a heavenly force . Mo Wen didn’t even dare to breathe loudly . After all, he had encountered the pressure from the Demon Devil’s Heart before . However, it paled into insignificance when compared to the vast ocean in front of his eyes now .
What exactly is this?
Mo Wen glanced at Shen Jing, who was in his arms . He realized that she had actually fallen asleep within the blue light . Her look was calm and sweet, as if she was having a good dream .

Mo Wen was feeling miserable now . He couldn’t move at all, and he was having to endure the terrifying pressure . If this continued, he suspected that he would go crazy!
Thankfully, the Divine Soul Trillion Layers was the magical power of the primordial soul . When faced with such terrifying pressure, it was still protecting Mo Wen’s soul .
Also, it had actually borrowed the strength of the enormous pressure to accelerate the agglomeration of Mo Wen’s soul power . Hence, Mo Wen’s soul power increased steadily, then grew at a terrifying speed!
Everyone in the world knew that one’s soul was shapeless . However, Mo Wen knew that one’s soul could also take form .
When the cultivation of the immortal cultivators had reached a certain level, they could form a Primordial Soul . The Primordial Soul was the product of an agglomeration of the soul . Once Primordial Souls were formed, the person would continue existing as long as the Primordial Soul didn’t disappear .
If before this, Mo Wen’s soul was merely a shapeless will, it had become a gas now . If he could go a step further, it would most likely be transformed into a liquid . Then, he would be one step closer to crystallizing his Primordial Soul!
Mo Wen could clearly sense that his soul had been strengthened exponentially . It had transformed from shapeless to tangible, completely changing in its state of matter . He was no longer on the same level as he previously had been .
A glimmer of ecstasy flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes, as he had inexplicably encountered such a great opportunity! Right now, he wished that the Hope Diamond would keep shining forever!
However, in just a moment, the light of the Hope Diamond slowly contracted . After that, it dropped from the sky and hung itself back on Shen Jing’s neck, returning to its original appearance .
Mo Wen’s eyes showed a hint of regret . If that mysterious blue light could have shone for a bit longer, his soul could possibly have liquefied, and he could have agglomerated a primordial soul! Once he could agglomerate a primordial soul, it would mean that he had already begun to walk the path of the immortal cultivators .
After that, he felt relieved . After all, opportunity was something that could not be forced . The more one pushed for it, the more one wouldn’t get it .
Mo Wen noticed that his current soul power had already surpassed his previous life’s soul power . In his previous life, he had a cultivation of the Golden Elixir realm, but his soul power was not even half of what it was now . From this, it could be seen just how powerful Mo Wen’s current soul power was .
“Maybe I have come across a true treasure . ” Mo Wen looked at the Hope Diamond and smiled .

But, this treasure did not belong to him . It was because of Shen Jing that this Hope Diamond had undergone such strange changes .
What exactly is this thing?
Mo Wen’s eyes flashed a hint of doubt . The scene just now had been too frightening . Only someone who had personally experienced it could understand that fact .
In Gu Jingman’s room, a Caucasian young maiden with blonde hair and blue eyes leaned against the railing of the balcony . Her gaze was fixed on the ocean in the distance .
“What are you thinking about? Tomorrow, we will be able to reach Kagoshima . ” Gu Jingman ate a fruit salad, while she casually gave the Caucasian young maiden a cursory glance .
“Your friend managed to bid for the Hope Diamond?” the Caucasian young maiden asked, as she turned her head to look at Gu Jingman with a strange expression .
“Hmm, he spent 900 million USD just to please a woman . He really is a misfit . ” Gu Jingman softly snorted .
“But, if he gave you the Hope Diamond, you wouldn’t say that, right?” the Caucasian young maiden said with a knowing smile .
“I have absolutely no hopes of him doing so . Besides, why would he be so generous?” Gu Jingman rolled her eyes .
“Since you like him, then you should try to win him over . Don’t wait, as you will only live to regret it in the future . What’s more, with your ability, you should be able to kill the woman without anyone knowing, right?” The Caucasian young maiden walked up to the table and casually picked up a bowl of fruit salad .
“How could I kill her? That Mo Wen would kill me then! Ugh, you don’t understand the Hua Xia people . Could it be that you foreigners love fighting and killing over every trivial matter?” Gu Jingman gave the Caucasian young maiden a strange look, clearly thinking her to be quite bizarre!
“Regardless of what nation one is from, this world has always been one where the strong prey upon the weak . Those with the adequate abilities and resources can do as they please and possess everything,” the Caucasian young maiden said coldly .
“Merle, your thinking is too extreme . You should think in simpler terms . Of course, when you truly love someone, you cannot do anything that would harm the other party, especially if it’s just to fulfill your own selfish desires . Otherwise, what kind of love would that be?” Gu Jingman truly did not approve of the Caucasian young maiden named Merle’s perspective .
“The Hope Diamond is an ominous item . You better tell your friend to not come in contact with it too much . Better yet, tell him to find an opportunity to sell it soon,” Merle said plainly .
“That is just a legend,” Gu Jingman said, while clearly laughing her friend’s superstitions off .
“That is not a mere legend . ” Merle looked at Gu Jingman with a serious expression .
“You seem to know a lot about the Hope Diamond…” Gu Jingman said with a frown .
“You should trust me . I am treating you as a friend . At least now, I will not harm you, and one does not wish for anything to happen to a friend, right?” Merle asked .
“Then, what about in the future? Do you mean to say that we will not be friends in the future?” Gu Jingman did not quite understand what Merle was saying .
“In the future? Maybe I will not have a future,” Merle said plainly .
In a dark room, the president of the Fiat Group stood respectfully in front of a Caucasian woman . He seemed to be reporting something to her .
“Highness Stunning Snow, the Hope Diamond appeared in the auction . I could feel the power of it . It is not the fake one that was in the Smithsonian Institute in America . ” Andrea slightly bowed his head .
When his gaze occasionally looked at the woman before him, it was full of devotion and reverence . Very few people knew that the Hope Diamond had been stolen from there many decades ago . Hence, the Hope Diamond that was still placed in the Smithsonian was just a fake .
“The true Hope Diamond has finally appeared in the world again . ” As Her Highness Stunning Snow slowly closed the Divine Scripture in her hands, her eyes hid a divine light .
She seemed to have great wisdom, being able to see through all illusions . This Caucasian woman was the woman who, before this, had noticed Mo Wen releasing his soul power .
