Xu Cheng was already very familiar with traveling through time and space. He waited patiently until he got his feet on the ground before finally returning to the original time and space.
But Xu Cheng didn't move, but stood motionless.
All he could think about now was Aying's face. Her face and Qiu Gongyue's face merged into one, and they were indistinguishable from each other.
Why do two people look exactly the same?
There may be people with similar looks in this world, but with Xu Cheng's observation ability, he can see that Aying and Qiu Gongyue have the same face, without any difference.
Based on his familiarity with Qiu Gongyue and having been with Ah Ying for hundreds of years, he could have recognized that their eyes were exactly the same.
But the veil Aying wears on her face is not an ordinary veil. Not only does it not fall off, it also has a covering effect, making it difficult for people to remember the characteristics of her eyes. Xu Cheng is no exception, so she has been kept hidden.
So, Aying and Qiu Gongyue are really the same person?
Xu Cheng thought of the mysterious runes on Qiu Gongyue's body, and also thought of the portrait hidden by the Moon God believers.
Now that I think about it carefully, there are actually quite a few clues.
It's just that he doesn't know why Aying turned into Qiu Gongyue, and because of some strange combination of circumstances, she is still trying her best to find him.
A thought flashed through Xu Cheng's mind - maybe Qiu Gongyue's search for Aying was originally planned by her?
But there are still many puzzling things here, and only Qiu Gongyue can answer them.
Xu Cheng stood there for a while before starting to take action.
He released his electromagnetic induction and immediately explored this dark space. It was a strange space similar to a secret realm, shaped like a pipe, thin and long.
The front end should be the door opened by Qiugong Yue, while the rear end is a fork in the road, one of which may lead to the past, and the other is a passage built with huge rocks.
As Xu Cheng moved toward the boulder passage, he asked the dog manager in his mind: "What time is it now? Have I returned to the original time?"
He was afraid that if he stayed in the past for hundreds of years, hundreds of years would pass when he came back, and then he would be completely ruined.
[Now, exactly one year has passed since we entered this different space]
Xu Cheng was surprised: "Didn't you say you could send me back to the original time? Why did you miss a year?"
[I will indeed send you back to the time when you traveled through time, but the time flow in this different space is faster than the outside world. If you stay here for a while, a year will pass outside]
"Damn, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
[You didn’t even ask]
Xu Cheng couldn't care less about getting angry with the dog manager. He hurriedly speeded up, and his whole body turned into a bolt of lightning and disappeared into the boulder passage. In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the palace at the end of the passage.
There was a jade coffin in the palace. A woman was standing next to the coffin with her back to him, seemingly distracted.
Seeing this familiar figure, Xu Cheng stopped subconsciously.
Hearing the noise, Qiu Gongyue also turned around.
The two looked at each other. For a moment, neither of them spoke, but the eyes of each other contained thousands of thoughts.
Xu Cheng couldn't tell whether the woman in front of him was Ah Ying or Qiu Gongyue.
He remembered something and blurted out: "What is the difference between Jesus and a picture of Jesus?"
Qiu Gongyue was slightly startled. This time she did not feel helpless, but felt warm in her heart: "The difference is that the portrait of Jesus can be hung with one nail, while Jesus needs two."
Xu Cheng took a step forward: "Ah Yue?"
Qiu Gongyue asked: "What else?"
Xu Cheng took another step forward: "Ah Ying?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit hard, and Qiu Gongyue flew over and threw herself into his arms.
She was not polite at all, she opened her mouth and bit Xu Cheng's shoulder hard.
Xu Cheng turned around and hugged her tightly.
"You bastard, how could you bear to leave me in the past for so long?"
With Qiu Gongyue's strength, she couldn't help but shed tears of grievance at this moment, and vented her anger by biting her hard.
She had really waited for Xu Cheng for too long, for thousands of years and tens of thousands of years, waiting for him to appear.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault."
Xu Cheng was also in agitated mood, but he knew that this was not the place to talk: "Time flows faster here than outside, let's go out first and then talk."
Qiu Gongyue didn't say a word, but she refused to let go of Xu Cheng, for fear that he would disappear again if she let go.
Xu Cheng simply took her and shot towards the entrance of this different space.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them passed through the door and returned to reality.
Outside the gate, the artificial goddess who was originally seriously injured and unconscious has disappeared.
That's right, the two of them only stayed in the different space for a while, but a whole year had passed outside, and the other party had long since woken up and ran away.
However, when Xu Cheng's electromagnetic induction was released, he found that the woman did not run away, but was rushing over after hearing the noise.
With a burst of hurried footsteps, the artificial goddess appeared in the sight of Xu Cheng and Qiu Gongyue.
Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were disheveled, and she looked in bad condition, but she still stared at the two of them with hostile eyes. It seemed that during this period, she had been staying nearby and not leaving.
Xu Cheng was about to subdue her, but was stopped by Qiu Gongyue.
"Wait a minute, leave it to me."
Qiu Gongyue left Xu Cheng's arms and came to the artificial goddess.
Like a frightened animal, the artificial goddess subconsciously took two steps back, staring at Qiu Gongyue, ready to fight back at any time.
Although she was unconscious, she still remembered that this woman injured herself a year ago.
Qiu Gongyue's eyes were very gentle, even apologetic: "Thank you for your hard work, have a good sleep."
She stretched out her hand, and the artificial goddess subconsciously wanted to hide, but found that she couldn't move.
Qiu Gongyue's hand gently stroked her head.
Her eyes began to blur, and then she lost consciousness and fell backwards, falling lightly to the ground like a feather.
Xu Cheng came over: "Do you know her?"
"She is my disciple, the saint of the Goddess Sect."
Qiu Gongyue released her own power and treated the unconscious woman's injuries: "She has been protecting my heart of God, but she became delirious because of the injury."
Xu Cheng turned to look at Qiu Gongyue's side face. With their relationship, there was no need to hide any problems, and asked directly: "Did you get hurt, so you chose to reincarnate and then lost your memory? "
He had been guessing why Aying turned into Qiu Gongyue, and he soon guessed a possibility.
Aying must have encountered a powerful enemy and suffered extremely serious injuries. Even the Holy Trinity was broken up, and his soul was forced to reincarnate, and then he became Qiu Gongyue.
"Yes, the enemy who injured me is a saint."
Seeing Xu Cheng's sharp eyes, Qiu Gongyue grabbed his hand and said, "But he's not doing well either. He was killed by me once and was only resurrected recently."
Qiu Gongyue recalled her previous experiences, and it felt like she had fallen asleep, and then an extra period of life and memories appeared in her mind.
Two different lives merged with each other. It was a little uncomfortable at first, but it soon merged perfectly. After all, it was my own experience.
She didn't expect that the lover she had been waiting for for tens of thousands of years would already have a partner she loved.
The good news is that this partner is also yourself.
The bad news is, it turns out there is more than one partner.
Xu Cheng felt that Qiu Gongyue's eyes had become dangerous. He didn't know what she was thinking, so he quickly changed the topic: "What happened after I left? Why did the World Tree appear again?"
He suddenly remembered another thing: "Where did Xinghu go?"
Xu Cheng is very precious to this daughter. After all, he raised her with his own hands.
But now Xinghu is not with Qiu Gongyue, and the Goddess Sect seems to have no record of her.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Cheng felt a thump in his heart when he saw the expression on Qiu Gongyue's face.
Qiu Gongyue's eyes dodge, which is obviously a sign of guilty conscience.
Xu Cheng was a little anxious: "Did something happen to Xinghu?"
Qiu Gongyue was silent for a while and then said: "I'll tell you from the beginning."
Xu Cheng nodded, then took a deep breath to relax his anxious mood.
From Qiu Gongyue's mouth, Xu Cheng learned that since he left, Qiu Gongyue had made up his mind to build a door in the palace that could connect the past and the future, so that Xu Cheng in the future could appear through this door.
So she hid in the palace and ignored what was going on outside the window. She only thought about building a gate to reunite with Xu Cheng, and even gave up educating Xinghu.
After Xu Cheng left, Xinghu kept clamoring to go out to look for him, and later quietly left the secret realm alone.
Qiu Gongyue just secretly paid attention to Xinghu's safety and did not care about it anymore. Xinghu's power had already grown to the god level, and there was no danger at all in wandering outside.
The Great Lord has not been resurrected, the Golden Supreme King is far away in heaven, and the whereabouts of the injured saint are unknown. The empire and divine religion that originally unified the world have also been torn apart and completely destroyed.
However, the world did not usher in peace, but continued to fall into chaos and turmoil.
After the World Tree was destroyed, it turned into a large number of fragments scattered all over the world. The gods began to secretly collect the fragments of the World Tree, and fierce conflicts broke out.
Although the gods are hostile to the Great Lord, they do not deny his power, and even desire his invincible power.
From a macro time perspective, the Great Lord rises and falls like a meteor, but his appearance inspired the hidden ambitions of the gods.
Even if he had no ambition, he would not want a certain god to collect the fragments of the World Tree so that the next great lord could appear.
Thus, a war called the Chosen War began.
The reason why it is called God's Selection is because the gods did not break up with each other at the beginning, but privately selected spokespersons to collect fragments of the World Tree for them.
The messenger chosen by God brought the world, which was already in turmoil due to the division of the divine religion, into war again, so it was called the God's Chosen War.
This war lasted for thousands of years, making people miss the peaceful time when the world was unified by the divine religion. The even more distant era when the gods peacefully coexisted has long been forgotten in history.
At the end of the God's Chosen War, the gods finally broke their skin and went out in person. The friendship established between them in the age of the gods, and the friendship that joined forces to prevent the resurrection of the great lord, were all lost because of the swords fighting against each other.
In the Chosen War, a Valkyrie rose like a meteor. With unrivaled power comparable to the Golden Supreme King, she defeated the gods one after another and took away all the World Tree fragments, becoming the final victory in the Chosen War.
At that time, someone specially went to the secret realm to invite Qiu Gongyue to take action, but her door was being built at a critical moment, so she refused directly.
And this has become the thing Qiu Gongyue regrets the most.
Xu Cheng asked in surprise: "What are you regretting?"
Qiu Gongyue lowered her head and said after a long time: "The Valkyrie who won the God's Chosen War...is Xinghu!"
"What?!"
Xu Cheng's eyes widened in surprise.
He had heard about the existence of the Valkyrie from Elizabeth a long time ago.
This Valkyrie has a strong record, winning the God's Chosen War, stabbing the Saint in the back, and is also Bai Yuelin's ancestor.
It turned out to be his own daughter?
Xu Cheng held Qiu Gongyue's shoulders tightly: "What about Xinghu?"
Qiu Gongyue closed her eyes in pain: "She secretly ran away to participate in the God's Choice War without telling me. Later I found out that she had been joining forces with the saint hiding in the dark and successfully grabbed all the World Tree fragments. I After getting the news, I immediately set out to find her, but it was already a step too late. Xinghu’s whereabouts were unknown after defeating the Saint, and no matter how hard I searched, I couldn’t find her.”
At this point, Qiu Gongyue was already in tears. She held Xu Cheng's hand tightly and kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of her. I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
"It's not your fault. Xinghu is an adult and she can take responsibility for her actions."
Xu Cheng hugged Qiu Gongyue tightly and blamed himself: "If I make a mistake, it's also my fault. I left you mother and daughter in the past."
Qiu Gongyue leaned in Xu Cheng's arms and cried bitterly. She had always regarded Xinghu as her biological daughter, but she had not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother at all.
Xu Cheng left Xinghu to his care before leaving, but he accidentally lost his daughter.
Qiu Gongyue's heart aches every time she thinks about it, and she feels ashamed to see Xu Cheng again.
Xu Cheng kept comforting her, but Qiu Gongyue had been holding it in for so many years and couldn't stop crying. Xu Cheng's clothes were wet with her tears.
Waiting until Qiu Gongyue's crying gradually stopped, Xu Cheng said in an angry tone: "The Valkyrie is Xinghu, so she left a lot of descendants, isn't she already married? She didn't notify me? She still has something in her eyes Without me as a father?”
Originally, this topic was just to attract Qiu Gongyue's attention and make her not so sad.
But as soon as he said the words, Xu Cheng himself felt angry rising up. Which pig had taken advantage of the little cabbage he had raised for so long? !
Even though Qiu Gongyue was sad, she couldn't help but want to look at Bai Xucheng: "Then tell me, how can I inform you after tens of thousands of years?"
Xu Cheng snorted: "Whether you can do it or not is one thing, but whether you have the heart or not is what matters."
"You can tell her yourself when you find her."
Qiu Gongyue sighed: "Xinghu is not married. Her descendants were all pinched out of her own flesh and blood. I don't know who taught her this method."
A woman's smiling face flashed in Xu Cheng's mind, and the culprit was no one else but her.
Being interrupted by Xu Cheng, Qiu Gongyue restrained her sadness and self-blame and continued her story.
The God's Choice War caused extremely serious damage to the entire planet, and even the life on it suffered devastating damage.
The surviving gods felt sorry for each other, so they made an oath to each other not to mention the Great Lord and what happened during this period to the outside world, lest those who would come after him would develop the ambition to become the Great Lord.
The environment was destroyed, and all the spirits were sucked out by the World Tree replanted by Star Lake. The whereabouts of the God-Broken Blade were also unknown. The gods were unable to destroy the World Tree and had to hide in the secret realm to survive.
The planet was destroyed on a large scale and was excavated by the gods, and it became the size of the earth in later generations. It was not until tens of thousands of years later that new humans and civilizations slowly appeared on the earth.
During this period, Qiu Gongyue took in some of the descendants Xinghu created with his own flesh and blood.
This group of descendants are the predecessors of the Moon Clan and Moon God believers.
Xinghu left his last words to future generations: the future of their clan lies on the moon.
So they believed in the moon from the beginning, but after being taken in by Qiugongyue, they changed their beliefs and began to believe in shadows.
In addition to searching for Xinghu's whereabouts and taking in her descendants, Qiu Gongyue's most important thing is to find traces of the saint and prepare for revenge.
After the Great Lord and the Golden Supreme King went offline one after another, the Saint was the main enemy, and it was he who "bewitched" Star Lake to participate in the God's Choice War behind the scenes.
All the old and new grudges added together, Qiu Gongyue hated this guy so much.
However, after being stabbed in the back by Xinghu, the Saint obviously learned enough lessons and rarely showed up again.
Time passed by in a hurry, and many civilizations finally evolved again on the earth. However, because there was no spirit son in the environment, the gods did not appear. Only Qiugongyue established the death-gifting organization, which has been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the saint.
Until six hundred years ago, a mysterious organization called the Celestial Clan quietly appeared.
Qiu Gongyue followed the clues and discovered that the person behind the Celestial Clan was the Saint.
The two sides fought a big battle, and both sides suffered losses.
The saint was killed by Qiu Gongyue, but he was not completely dead, and there was still a possibility of resurrection.
Qiu Gongyue was separated from the Holy Trinity, and her soul was attached to the saint of the Goddess Sect.
This saint is a descendant of Xinghu. She was afraid that someone would covet the goddess's divine heart, so she secretly sent Qiu Gongyue's divine heart back to the secret realm to hide it, and then searched everywhere for Qiu Gongyue's soul.
The deceased received no news and thought the goddess was missing. The saint could not find Qiu Gongyue's soul because she did not know that Qiu Gongyue's soul was hidden in her body.
Because of the serious injury, the saint had to return to the secret realm to hide and protect Qiu Gongyue's heart of God.
As a result, she became delirious due to her injuries. Hundreds of years later, she was picked up by the Senate and transformed into an artificial goddess.
When returning to the secret realm, the saint predicted that something might happen to her clan after losing the protection of the goddess, so she returned to the clan to leave behind her descendants and the legacy of the saint. She also left a portrait of Qiu Gongyue, hoping that future generations would Someone can find the whereabouts of the goddess' soul.
The reason why Qiu Gongyue didn't tell the saint was because her soul was seriously injured and she fell into a deep sleep.
The saint left descendants in the clan, and the soul of Qiu Gongyue also entered the bloodline of the clan and was passed down from generation to generation.
As expected by the Saint, without the protection of the goddess, the descendants of Xinghu finally had to leave Guangming Mountain and settle in North America. Because of Xinghu's last words, they started to believe in the moon again.
They split again in North America, and another branch followed the black ships to settle in Japan, which is the Moon Clan.
For hundreds of years, the spirit of Akimiya Yue has been circulating in the blood of Xinghu descendants, and was finally revived and born in Japan.
As the strongest genius of the Moon Clan for a hundred years, Tsukuyomi vaguely sensed the existence of Akimiya's Moon Spirit in his blood. He actually thought it was an oracle sent by the Shadow Goddess to him, so he became an extremely devout believer in the Goddess Cult.
But he didn't know that the shadow goddess he longed to resurrect was actually his own granddaughter.
Just like his ancestor, the Saint, had always wanted to find the soul of Qiu Gongyue, but she didn't know that the soul was in her body.
Due to reincarnation, Qiu Gongyue also lost her memory and began to grow up as an ordinary person.
Because this weak body could not bear the power of the soul, the power of the soul was sealed in the mysterious rune on her body, which belonged to the shadow goddess.
If the saint or Tsukuyomi sees him, he will definitely be able to recognize Akimiya Yue's identity.
It's a pity that this rune only appeared when Qiu Gongyue was about to reach adulthood, and only Xu Cheng had seen it with his own eyes.
Although he has no memory, maybe it is a coincidence or destiny, Qiu Gongyue still goes to North America, obtains the inheritance left by the saint, and embarks on a journey to find the "Shadow Goddess".
In the end, she came to the secret realm, recovered her divine heart and power, and finally recovered all her memories.
"Thanks a lot."
Xu Cheng kissed Qiu Gongyue hard on the forehead and held her tightly in his arms.
Qiu Gongyue took a deep breath of Xu Cheng's scent and felt that her tens of thousands of years of waiting had not been in vain.
Now that she has recovered all her memories, she finds that those previous obsessions are not worth mentioning and are very ridiculous.
Now that she has waited for Xu Cheng, as long as she can find Xinghu again, she will have no other regrets in her heart.
"But it's not time to rest yet."
Xu Cheng let go of Qiu Gongyue and looked down into her eyes: "Do you know why the World Tree collapsed?"
The World Tree is extremely strong. If it were not for the God-Shattering Edge, even the gods would not be able to destroy the World Tree.
But after the World Tree was replanted in Xinghu, until modern times, the World Tree collapsed without warning.
Now Xu Cheng already knows that the purpose of the Saint and the Golden Supreme King should be to resurrect the Great Lord again.
If you want to prevent his resurrection, you must either find the God-Shattering Edge or find the reason for the sudden collapse of the World Tree.
However, Qiu Gongyue was not clear about this issue: "I once looked for the God-Shattering Edge. This weapon was reforged by Vulcan after collecting its fragments. Unfortunately, its whereabouts were unknown again during the God's Choice War."
Xu Cheng holding the God-Shattering Edge and destroying the World Tree was seen by the gods. They also valued this mysterious weapon very much. They once fought for it, and the God of Fire fell because of it.
Seeing that Qiu Gong Yue was unclear, Xu Cheng could only change the topic: "What exactly is on the moon? Why did Xinghu leave the last words of "the future lies in the moon" to future generations?"
"I don't know. I went up and looked, and there was nothing on the moon. The moon god also hid from me..."
Qiu Gongyue shook her head, suddenly thought of a possibility, and looked up at Xu Cheng in surprise.
Xu Cheng also looked at her with burning eyes.
