Lu Ning walked in the fog for two thousand years. When he emerged, he found the world seemed to be sick.
The sun grew tentacles, the planets were covered in flesh and blood, the moon grew num...
"Isn't that the power of death below?" Aishalin asked with a grave expression.
Looking solemnly at the pale moonlight emanating from below, Yann said, "It's the power of the moon."
The three saints all had very solemn expressions.
The Luna Cult and the Sun Cult are among the most prestigious cults, even among the many cults.
The evil god behind them is even more terrifying.
Even saints have to be careful.
Lu Ning said, "I'll go down and take a look first."
The three of them nodded.
Lu Ning stepped forward and walked down the stairs.
The staircase is very long, almost a hundred meters.
There is only a secret room about a hundred meters in diameter at the bottom of the stairs.
In the center of the secret chamber stood a pale stone platform, upon which rested a bloodshot eyeball.
Through his eyes, Lu Ning seemed to see the moon in the night sky.
On the moon, eyes opened and looked at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning's consciousness seemed to have stopped.
When he came to his senses, he found a beating heart in his hand.
He looked down and realized that he had unknowingly torn open his chest and pulled out his heart.
Lu Ning expressionlessly stuffed his heart back in, and the wound on his chest began to heal.
A voice came from above: "Lu Ning? Are you alright?"
Lu Kong said, "It's nothing."
Osiris asked, "What's down there?"
Lu Ning calmly replied, "The moon's eyeball."
There was a noticeable silence above.
Then, Yarrow's voice became very serious: "...The moon?"
"Hmm, it has a certain divine power. It might be the eyeball of the original body, or it might contain His power."
The voices above fell silent once more.
Then, footsteps sounded, and Lu Ning turned around to find that it was Ya En coming down.
He was surrounded by golden holy light, his hands gripped his warhammer tightly, and his expression was extremely solemn.
Osiris and Aisharin did not come down, but stayed up there.
Seeing Lu Ning's confused expression, Ya'en explained, "The power of the moon is very sinister. A saint once went mad because of its power and then became ill. Just in case, I left Osiris and Aishalin on it."
Yaen turned to look at the eyeball on the platform.
When Lu Ning saw the eyeballs, he could clearly sense that Ya En's expression became even more serious.
He said, "As expected, it possesses divine power... An item of this level should be considered a sacred relic in the Moon Goddess Cult, so how could it be here?"
Seeing Ya'en's confusion, Lu Ning thought for a moment and said, "There are moon runes on this inverted pyramid, which probably indicates that the Moon God Cult and the Returned Brigade have a deep cooperation."
Yann nodded.
Then, looking annoyed, he said, "I wonder what big moves they're up to behind the scenes? Every time the Moon Goddess Cult makes a big move, the disaster it brings is enormous."
Lu Ning asked with some curiosity, "The Moon Goddess Cult is so powerful, does it have demigods?"
Ya'en nodded seriously: "Yes."
Lu Ning was a little surprised, but didn't say anything more.
He then walked up to the eyeball and picked it up.
As soon as he picked up the eyeball, the flesh on his hand began to writhe uncontrollably.
Then, eyeballs began to grow on Lu Ning's arm.
These eyes stared intently at Lu Ning, radiating a pale, cold light, and unleashed a frenzied, chaotic consciousness upon him.
Lu Ning remained expressionless as the flesh on his hand writhed, restoring his arm to its original state.
He looked into those bloodshot eyes, and could still see the moon staring straight at him from the night sky.
Lu Ning asked calmly, "What are you looking at?"
The next moment, Lu Ning's consciousness disappeared again.
Behind Lu Ning, Ya En stared at Lu Ning with wide eyes, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
At this moment, Lu Ning's entire body transformed into countless eyeballs, resembling a monster composed of eyeballs.
Some of those eyes rolled around, some looking at Yann.
Arn sensed an extremely chaotic consciousness within it.
He gripped the warhammer tightly, unconsciously taking two steps back, cold sweat pouring down his back.
...If he had known there was a Moon God Cult here, he should have sent those demigods.
However, the next moment, all of Lu Ning's eyeballs suddenly melted, turning into flesh and blood, and reassembled into Lu Ning's appearance.
Looking at Lu Ning's expressionless face, Arn called out uncertainly, "...Lu Ning?"
Lu Ning looked at Ya En in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Ya'en breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "You scared me to death... What just happened?"
Lu Ning calmly said, "It's nothing. The moon has been spying on me through its eyes, and I don't like being spied on."
Arn's expression froze abruptly, and he looked at Lu Ning with a blank expression: "...What do you mean?"
