Volume 5: The Ancient Glorious Empire Chapter 150: The Long Night, Firefly Expedition
The City of Sparks, the City of Burning Fire, the Blue Star... every oasis and world is extremely peaceful at this moment.
Because, after going through untold hardships and making countless sacrifices, they finally killed those unspeakable evil gods and restored a peaceful environment to the strange world.
This major event has been recorded in history books.
Each of the ancients was an eyewitness to the war of killing gods.
Countless ordinary people and common creatures cheered and walked out of the shelters to welcome the new era and new life.
An Jianyou plans to start traveling.
When Heidao had some free time, he found himself feeling uncomfortable all over.
Some people are recuperating from their injuries and recovering from the losses in the battle against the evil god.
But without exception, everyone was in a good mood. The great terror that had been hanging over their heads for a long time finally disappeared.
Fang You thought so too.
His memory, his common sense, his reason, and his cognition all told him that the war was over and he could start a relaxed and leisurely retirement life.
But why couldn't he be happy at all?
He felt uncomfortable, there must be something wrong!
"But what's wrong?"
Fang You looked at the red moon outside the window. It was strange, great, and bright red. It had always existed since ancient times.
In ancient times, there were many poets on the blue planet who wrote poems about the red moon.
Raise a glass to the red moon! The red moon rises from the sea! When will the red moon appear?
Many people also offer sacrifices and pray for the blessing of the Red Moon Goddess.
This is common sense engraved in memory and soul, and it cannot be wrong.
but,
"Why do I vaguely remember that the moon waxes and wanes, and the red moon must also set and rise? Not only that, this world also has day and night alternations, and the sun should set and rise."
There should be light!
However, three days and three nights had passed since the end of the "God-killing War", and the red moon had not changed at all, as if it had lasted forever.
"The Red Moon is an eternal existence."
"No, that's not right... No, that's right."
"Wait, three days and three nights?" Fang You murmured, "Since the red moon is eternal, then what is the day and what is the night? No, it's really not right..."
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
One after another, the gems of power emerged, and the power of power from Chi Yan, Liu Feng and others was also bestowed upon himself.
Fang You’s mind gradually became clearer... no, it became more and more confused.
Two intertwined voices seemed to echo in his mind.
One recites the red moon's purity, the other speaks of the red moon's falsity.
Before this, false common sense dominated everything, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong.
Now, he found two possibilities, but he couldn't be sure which one was true and which one was false.
Perhaps, he was contaminated by the evil god in the previous battle to kill gods, which gave rise to the idea that the Red Moon was false.
He is confused.
...Is this really a mess?
"The Gate of Infinity."
Fang You chanted softly, and invisible ripples slowly spread out.
In the world of the Infinite Gate, the power he had accumulated over "hundreds of years" was stored. It was a spear filled with destructive power, and even a combination of multiple powers.
The Gate of Infinity is not only capable of storing divine spears, but in order to kill gods, he put all his abilities into attack.
In addition to these weapons filled with destructive power, there is also a vast group of light of faith as vast as the sea of stars in the infinite world.
This represents the wishes of countless people from Shuize Base City, Blue Star, and Strange World Oasis, who all want to slay the evil god and break the long night!
The wishes of countless lives!
And at this time, the long night has not yet broken!
"We haven't won yet."
"The evil god still exists."
He looked at the red moon in the night sky, and his eyes gradually became clear.
He understands everything!
"panel."
Buzz——
A familiar interface unfolded before Fang You's eyes.
[Fate Extraction], [Apostle List], [Mission Dispatch]... many sections are exactly the same.
"Sure enough, this is not an illusion."
"It was the Scarlet Moon that tampered with the timeline after devouring the Twisted Black River and Old Twilight, and distorted the common sense of all living beings in the universe."
It sounded quite terrifying and despairing at first, but Fang You quickly calmed down after thinking about it carefully.
"As long as people are alive, there is still hope. The light balls of faith in the Infinite Gate are unwilling to give up."
He began to recall.
Blurred, clouded memories emerge.
Before this, the fight between Scarlet Moon and Twisted Black River had reached the most critical moment. Scarlet Moon had planted a backup plan in the body of the Old One, in order to severely injure the Black River that was trying to devour the Old One.
He broke the deadlock and devoured the original power of the evil gods, taking it as his own.
"This backup plan may have been planted by Scarlet Moon tens of thousands of years ago, or even longer ago."
“But the Scarlet Moon must have paid a huge price for forcibly swallowing up the Black River and the Old Ones.”
Otherwise, they wouldn't be alive!
Why didn't Scarlet Moon just wipe them all out when he altered the timeline? Because he couldn't!
"Because Scarlet Moon is not yet the original evil god, he devoured Midnight Lord, Old Twilight, Twisted Black River, Mother of Desire, and Dark Shadow. He devoured five evil gods..."
"And, perhaps in the God-killing War tens of thousands of years ago, or even longer before the Ragnarok, the Red Moon and the Black River each devoured an evil god."
This is the source of their power that surpasses other evil gods.
That is to say, the evil god Scarlet Moon, including himself, has gathered 8 units of evil god power.
He will soon be perfect, and all that is missing is...
"The last one."
“However, He was injured, or it might be that He needed time to completely digest the power of the other evil gods. Therefore, He cleverly tampered with the timeline, allowing the world to enter a brief period of peace. But it will obviously not be long before Red Moon will recover, devour the last evil god, and return to the realm of the original evil god.”
This is just Fang You’s guess.
But it was enough. How could he allow the false red moon to continue to exist?
"Now there is still one problem, how to wake up Black Blade and the others."
Fang You first thought of Fang Liuyi and Blue Star Consciousness.
The former has a close connection with the World Tree and is naturally of higher status, not to mention the latter.
The Blue Star Consciousness was born not long ago and is still relatively immature, but He is the existence with the highest status!
Buzz——
Fang You passed through the secret passage and returned to Blue Star in a few steps.
The night is also long on Blue Star, with a red moon hanging high in the sky, but there are not many evil spirits outside the city, which is about the same level as during the third disaster tide - Blue Star is a super world after all, and its crystal walls are strong enough to isolate most of the evil gods' filth.
As soon as Fang You arrived, a light breeze blew across his face, rubbing his cheek like a kitten.
He knew that this was the Blue Star consciousness.
The Blue Star Consciousness can manifest itself in the form of a human body and walk around the world, or it can transform into a wisp of wind, a beam of light, or a drop of water. It is everywhere.
But at this moment, Blue Star's consciousness gave him a feeling of confusion.
He was at a loss.
"Woo-woo--" Like the wind swirling aimlessly.
The level of Blue Star's consciousness was higher than his, and it had obviously discovered the discrepancy, but it didn't know how to resolve it.
Fang You passed on the truth.
The wind stopped, and a figure could be vaguely seen in the wind, with his eyes wide open.
He looked at him, then at the red moon.
"This sky is fake!"
"We are still under the shadow of the evil god."
“Woo——”
It is easy to awaken the Blue Star consciousness, but it is much more difficult to awaken others.
Fang You opened the panel and scrolled to the Apostle of Destiny column.
"Guided by fate."
"nourish."
"comminicate."
"Skill fusion."
Being guided by destiny is awakening.
Heidao, An Jianyou and others are all powerful people in the Origin Realm, and they can perceive nothing more, but this does not mean that the Destiny Guidance cannot be used.
It can still be used, but it just doesn't have much effect.
When fate guides you, it is like a sudden enlightenment or like an immortal caressing your head.
Fang You chose An Jianyou’s avatar, and used the power of destiny to give the girl a blow.
Buzz——
In the water city, where can I find my quiet family?
She vaguely sensed the power of destiny descending upon her. Just as she was wondering if something had happened to her mentor, her whole body shook again and again, and her pupils trembled.
“Red Moon…”
"The world line has been tampered with. If it weren't for the teacher, I wouldn't have noticed it at all!"
Sister An just felt ashamed.
Yi Luoxi pushed the door open and walked in, "Youyou, I've been waiting for you..."
Before she could finish her words, she was grabbed by An Jianyou.
"This is an emergency. Let's get back to headquarters."
Wait wait wait, what’s going on?
…
One person, two people, three people...
It is not difficult to wake up An Jianyou, Heidao, Chiyan and others.
After all, they are of high status and understand a little about the power of time. When external force enters, they will wake up at once.
"We, actually failed?" Xing Jinglei punched himself fiercely.
"What should we do now?" Liu Feng, with gray hair on his temples, frowned.
Ilohi wanted to say something bold, but when he thought about how seriously injured he was, his mouth deflated.
Fang You opened his mouth:
"It's simple. Keep killing gods."
"Look at it optimistically. This should be the final battle."
"Find the Scarlet Moon and kill it!"
There was no need for Fang You to comfort them. None of the core strong men including An Jianyou were afraid of the evil god. They frowned only because they had just woken up and were a little dazed.
The only way to deal with an existence like the evil god is to fight.
As for a safe route, there is no such thing.
However, the fact that their core strong ones are not afraid does not mean that the ancient ones are not afraid.
The power of the ancients was not weak, and the power of the laws used by the ninth realm was already qualified to harm the evil god, even if it was just a little bit.
There are other elites who carry on the torch.
However, it is a bit difficult to wake everyone up.
…
That night.
In the name of a banquet, Fang You invited all the ancients to enter Blue Star, and asked the Blue Star consciousness Xiao Lan to open a channel to the outside world.
At the same time, he also summoned all the elites of Xinhuo.
Many powerful people gathered in the Blue Star world.
"World Tree, Baptism."
"Blue Star Power, falling."
The majestic and vigorous World Tree spreads out a pure white world area, and bursts of heavenly sounds echo in the sky above the Blue Star World.
The ancients were startled at first, then they frowned, and their expressions changed back and forth.
For a long while, they stared at the red moon, their eyes filled with confusion and fear.
"Scarlet Moon!"
…
"Since you are all awake, I will make it short."
On Blue Star, the banquet venue was dead silent, with only Fang You's voice echoing.
He expressed his previous speculation about the status of Scarlet Moon.
Finally,
"I want to restart the war of killing gods."
"This time, we will take the initiative and kill the gods ourselves."
An ancient one opened his mouth and then closed it.
The Sun God recalled the previous scenes and finally spoke, "Master Mentor, what do you want us to do?"
"Climb on the Red Moon and kill the Scarlet Moon itself."
After a pause, Fang You continued, "The real Scarlet Moon does not exist in this world, which is why the filth has not spread."
In the sky, the red moon is so eerie that it seems to be dripping with blood.
"The red moon is everywhere, but it never really exists."
"His true self is hidden at the end of the gray fog."
…
Above the gray fog, gray waves surged, rising and falling.
Even with the help of Blue Star Consciousness, it took Fang You a long time to finally push through the layers of gray fog and reach the real red moon.
"This is too big!"
The Red Moon is as large as thousands of large domains and is much more vast than the Oasis Wall Protection Area.
"This is indeed a red moon, but it is not entirely a red moon. This is a world, a world that is growing and may evolve into a universe in the future!"
"The real Scarlet Moon is somewhere in the Red Moon World."
Even if Fang You's all-out attack could shatter several large domains, affecting dozens of large domains and falling into the Red Moon World, he could only shatter some areas, which were very small compared to the vast Red Moon.
"We have to find the real Red Moon."
"At the same time, try to kill the evil spirits in the Red Moon World. This will slightly weaken their power."
Above the red moon, high-ranking evil can be seen everywhere.
There are even strange evil spirits that surpass the higher levels and are comparable to the tenth realm.
In the distance, there is a giant pink tree, enchanting and majestic.
A huge black river rushed across the red moon and stretched to an unknown place.
There are so many great horrors here.
The only reassuring thing is that the filth here is not that terrifying, as if the evil god has fallen into a deep sleep.
"But there are too many evil spirits here, and our power is limited."
"Perhaps, the Ghost World has become safe now because all kinds of dangers and terrors are concentrated on the Red Moon."
"Then we will establish a base on the Red Moon, devote all our strength, and march to the Red Moon!"
Fang You walked alone and disappeared into the vast red fog.
at the same time,
In the Red Moon World, in an area where the red fog was relatively sparse, Liu Shang planted an oasis and summoned the projection of the World Tree.
With the long-distance convergence of the power of the World Tree and Blue Star, the passage to the secret realm finally slowly opened.
On the Blue Star, one after another, the elite soldiers are on standby.
They all understood what they were about to face.
It's an evil god.
They will face the evil god.
"But what's there to fear?"
"We have been practicing for so many years just to fight against the evil god! Damn it!"
"The night is long, and we will tear open the light!"
"The torch is passed on, and mankind will live forever!"
"Fuck it, woooo!"
The power of the blue star descended upon us, blessing everyone.
The Xinhuo elite, who had already been fully equipped, stepped into the gate of time and space and disappeared into it.
"Fuck! If we were also myths, we could join the expeditionary force."
"Everyone must return safely!"
The night is long and there will be no more light.
But there are torchbearers holding torches who rush in, one after another, passing the torch, like a long river of fireflies.
The stars are so bright that they seem to illuminate the night sky as well.
It also illuminates the faces looking up at the starry sky.
