The demon's ferocious face was full of ridicule and evil smile: "Jie Jie Jie, a human child must have a pure heart..."
When the woman saw this, she burst out with unprecedented strength, running and crawling to hug the child: "Xiaoyu, don't - be afraid -"
Because of his mother's embrace, the child stopped crying and called her mother over and over again.
She touched the top of her head, and there was some wet, sticky and warm liquid flowing on her head. She stretched out her hand and touched it, and called softly: "Mother?"
She was answered with a hideous laugh.
The child turned back and looked up. A skinny gray-black hand penetrated his mother's chest, and blood flowed out. In the palm of his hand, a bloody heart was still beating!
That's... that's... my mother's... heart...
The child's legs softened and he fell to the ground again.
This time, I even forgot to cry, and watched helplessly as the heart gradually stopped beating, and my mother's body slowly lost its temperature.
Blood flowed from her heart to her face and clothes.
The next moment, a big hand penetrated the child's heart in the same way.
The word "be careful" is stuck in your throat.
Immediately afterwards, the world started to spin, and the picture flickered in and out, as if the power was about to be unable to support it. Is this illusion about to collapse?
Jiang Qingyu squatted on the ground holding her head, her mind filled with the scene just now.
As the riot of spiritual power subsided, the space became silent and darkness returned.
A bright moon hung high, illuminating the small area where Jiang Qingyu was.
The bright moonlight soothes all the emotions in the heart, including joy, anger, sorrow, joy, fear, and eventually calms down.
Is this a dream?
It doesn't seem so real.
Is that an illusion?
"Child of the Moon, this is the inheritance space, and you will inherit my mantle."
A phantom suddenly appeared in front of the bright moon, with a golden corolla and a golden chest-length gauze skirt that trailed to the floor, with a faint smile.
"Are you...the Moon Goddess?"
Looking up, Jiang Qingyu suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if it was a telepathic connection between mother and daughter.
"I recite poems and sing songs to the moon in response to the world's people, and my feelings of longing for the moon create my heart. I am also touched by the creatures in the world, and I take shape. I was born in the moon palace. I am the moon god. I take the world's people as my responsibility, pity the thousands of creatures in the world, and bathe in the moon. of brilliance.
Children of the Moon, there will be a crisis in the near future, and you will be the key to this crisis.
There is an inextricable relationship between you and me. You must uphold Yue's will, become my successor, and protect this world for me. "
"What if I don't answer?" Jiang Qingyu pursed her lips, and everything she had just experienced automatically appeared in her mind.
"All creatures are devastated and return to chaos."
The eight words rang in my ears like thunder.
"Why am I a child of the moon, because I come from another world? Or should I say..."
Luna smiled slightly, and the moonlight became soft: "You have already guessed it, haven't you?"
"I..." Jiang Qingyu was a little incoherent. She licked her dry and flaky lips and said rather bitterly: "What just happened is not the phantom inner demon, but everything that may happen in the future, right?"
Luna shook her head.
A glimmer of hope lit up in Jiang Qingyu's eyes, but it was shattered by Yue Shen's next words.
"It's like a dream but not a dream. It's not the future, but the past."
"Once..." Jiang Qingyu was a little lost.
Once upon a time, that is to say, these have already happened in the past.
"These are all part of my memory. Tens of thousands of years ago, there was a war between gods and demons. As the moon god, I also received prayers from living beings. Not only humans, but also flowers, grass, trees, insects, and beasts that were blessed by the moon all the time. Then I prayed for the peace of the war. Since the gods are disrespectful, these prayers were sent directly to the guardian hands of the gods. I saw this through the laurel leaves."
It turns out that this is the past tense. Master said that the demon seal has become weak. Could it be that the inner demon blood demon in Ice Abyss Valley is just the beginning?
"The demons will break through the seal, right?"
"Ten years at the latest."
But there is no God in the world. Can we monks really be able to protect this world just by relying on us?
"Of course the human race alone cannot fight against the demon race, so the next step is the topic I want to tell you: 'Creating Gods'."
Jiang Qingyu's pupils suddenly dilated, and he murmured again: "Creating gods? But since the fall of the gods in this world, the road to ascension has been cut off. In ten thousand years, no one has ascended..."
"That's because the demons have sealed the inheritance temple. All the gods who died in the war between gods and demons have been sealed and cannot respond to the next generation of monks. The path to ascension is not guided by the gods, so naturally they will not reappear."
Jiang Qingyu instantly understood the truth why no one had ascended for ten thousand years.
"Doesn't that mean we can't take the path of ascension? Or is there another way?"
"certainly,"
A virtual image of a ruined temple appeared in front of Jiang Qingyu.
"This is……?"
"——Twilight of the Gods——"
Moon God's eyes also fell on this palace: "This is the end of the war ten thousand years ago, and it is also the place where the gods all fell. As the key to sealing the demons, my godhead has not returned to the inheritance temple. Instead, it becomes the last guarantee of the seal.”
With a flash of light, Jiang Qingyu guessed what the Moon God meant: "So, my mission is to go to this place, retrieve your godhead, unseal the inheritance temple, and complete the 'god creation'?"
"That's right, as the child of the moon, the moonlight will protect you to complete this arduous task. Next, I will inherit your will of the moon. Learn about it, my child..."
Before he could react, the Moon God's divine thoughts disappeared in front of the moon.
Immediately afterwards, a ray of moonlight pierced Jiang Qingyu's eyebrows, and before he was forced into meditation, the Moon God's words echoed in his ears, much like his mother's songs when she was lulled to sleep.
…
Wuya Sword Sect.
In the back mountain with a clear sky, thunder suddenly rolled.
Wu Lingjun was smiling and still watering the evening primrose slowly in his hand.
"According to your arrangement, has she accepted her fate?"
"Boom-boom"
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, in ten years or so, this well will open one day."
"Boom - boom - rumble"
"Well, by the way, the little girl should be the Nascent Soul when she comes out of the secret realm this time. Remember to give her more luck."
"boom--"
"You can never have too much luck."
"..."
The sky was filled with rays of light in the distance. Wu Lingjun waved his hand and captured one of the rays in a transparent bottle.
"Ayin, come to the back mountain."
…
"Isn't this the desert where the mushroom was born? I didn't expect to go through that forest and end up here directly."
Luo Heng covered his mouth with a fan and said tactfully: "My intuition tells me that Xiaoyu is not here."
"Yeah, I think so too." Gu Zhizhou nodded in agreement.
"By the way, from the Gu family, I remember that you seem to be a beast master, right? Although I have a gut feeling that your little sister is not here, we can't rule out the possibility. Otherwise, why don't you summon your natal spiritual beast and lead us around the desert? "
