[Very long, but very short]
Xia Qingyue's question caused Yue Wuya's laughter to stop abruptly.
"Don't...don't tell her!"
Before Yue Wuya could respond, Yue Wugou spoke hurriedly, looking flustered.
Yue Wuya turned his head and gave her a comforting look, then said solemnly: "I can tell you... but not now."
“Why?” Xia Qingyue asked.
"I love Wu Gou more than I love myself," Yue Wuya asked, "If I knew who murdered Wu Gou back then, what do you think I would do?"
Xia Qingyue: “…”
“I would hate to cut him into pieces with my own hands!” Yue Wuya’s voice was calm, but the words “cut into pieces” still carried a slight sound of gnashing teeth: “But, after so many years, I still haven’t been able to avenge Wu Gou and myself. Why do you think that is?”
After a long, suffocating silence, Xia Qingyue finally spoke slowly: “Is that… someone that even the seniors can’t deal with?”
"That's right." Yue Wuya's eyes and voice were both gloomy: "That person has a powerful family background, extremely high strength and status, and her mind and methods are extremely cunning and vicious. In her eyes, there is no good or evil, right or wrong, only interests."
“While she secretly murdered your mother, she also harbored another evil intention, and led my suspicion to the Star God Realm. I was so furious back then that I failed to investigate further. Instead… I fell into her trap and made a huge mistake, causing the Moon God Realm and Star God Realm to become even more hostile to each other.”
As he spoke, Yue Wuya clenched his hands silently.
Outside the screen, Yun Che knew what the “big mistake” he was talking about was.
He thought that it was Xing Juekong who had secretly plotted against him, so he retaliated in kind and successfully kidnapped the person he considered to be the most important concubine of Xing Juekong...the mother of Xi Su, the god of the Sirius Star.
She is also Jasmine's mother.
And caused her to commit suicide.
Yue Wuya's final death was at the hands of Jasmine.
In a sense, it was a worthy death.
But in the final analysis, whether it was the tragedy of Xia Qingyue's family or the tragedy of Jasmine's family, the culprit was Qianye Ying'er back then.
"Even I can't move without permission, so what can you do now that you know this?" Yue Wuya said in a deep voice: "In terms of cultivation, scheming, experience, and methods... the gap between you and her is more than heaven and earth."
"If I tell you now that you have a clear but unattainable goal, and a hatred that fills your chest but cannot be released, it will only disturb your practice and confuse your mind, and will do you no good."
"And when you inherit and integrate my power in the future, I will tell you even if you don't ask."
He looked at Xia Qingyue with deep expectation in his eyes: “With a Glazed Heart and a Delicate Body, the limit of what you can achieve in the future will definitely surpass her. What I can’t do, as long as you know how to lie low and know how to judge the situation... one day, you will definitely be able to do it.”
Although she didn't get the answer she wanted, Xia Qingyue didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she nodded deeply.
At this moment, Yun Che gradually realized that Yue Wuya’s influence on Xia Qingyue was far more than just the inheritance of the Purple Que divine power.
And until now, that incident was still lingering in his mind...
The bloodline of Qingyue and Yue Wuya blended together...what exactly is going on!
The time didn't match at all, and Yue Wugou also made it clear that he and Yue Wuya were not actually husband and wife.
Really... just a fallacy?
…………
Back then, another space.
“Wha…what!? You plan to pass the throne to Xia Qingyue? God Emperor, are you…are you crazy!?”
The Golden Moon God Yue Wuji was so anxious that he blurted out some offensive words.
"I have thought deeply about this matter." Yue Wuya said, "Although I have the identity of 'God Queen' as a cover, there will definitely be many obstacles when the time comes. Wuji, I still need your help in this matter."
“It’s more than just a lot of resistance!” Yue Wuji stood in front of Yue Wuya, his face full of confusion: “Xia Qingyue has a Glazed Heart and an Exquisite Body. If you choose her as the successor of the Purple Que divine power and the next Purple Que Moon Goddess, I will have no objections.”
"But the position of God Emperor, I cannot understand and cannot accept it!"
“Why is it so hard to understand?” Yue Wuya said, “The last person who possessed the Glazed Heart was Zhou Tian’s Great Ancestor of Creation! According to the records, there is also someone who can possess the Glazed Heart. If she were the Moon God Emperor, perhaps in the future, she would make the Moon God Realm shine with divine light that has never been seen before.”
“Even if that was Liuli Heart, even if the so-called God’s Blessing is true, Xia Qingyue, after all, is just an outsider… an outsider!” Yue Wuji said in a strong voice: “For the God Emperor, the interests of the King Realm naturally come first. However, even if there is no selfishness, which God Emperor is willing to hand over the King Realm that carries the accumulation of his ancestors and his life’s hard work to an outsider!”
These words made Yue Wuya stunned.
"Besides, she is... the daughter of Yue Wu Gou and another man!" Golden Moon God Yue Wuji frowned and shook his head again and again: "It's human nature... shouldn't you hate her?"
"..." Yue Wuya was speechless for a long time, with confusion flashing in the depths of his eyes.
He suddenly felt that what Yue Wuji said was not wrong.
Handing the throne of the God Emperor to Xia Qingyue was equivalent to handing the future of the Moon God Realm to an outsider… no matter how amazing her talent was.
As the daughter of Yue Wu Gou and another man, he should also despise her.
But why, even so, he still didn't want to change his mind.
"Wuji," Yue Wuya sighed softly, "The prophecy of the universe said that I will die in five years. Whether it is true or not, I will prepare for it. She is the best successor I can find in this short period of time."
"I will do my best to prepare for the situation." He reached out and patted Yue Wuji on the shoulder: "You will help me, right?"
Yue Wuji wanted to dissuade him, but when he met Yue Wuya's eyes, he finally took a long breath and nodded helplessly: "In public, you are the God Emperor, and in private, you are my brother from the same mother. Of course, I will do my best to support your decision. But..."
"Your words are enough." Yue Wuya smiled and said, "Let's start preparing everything."
“In the next period of time, I will begin to personally guide Qingyue in her cultivation. I will have to trouble you to take care of all matters of the Moon God Realm, big or small.”
“In addition, I will also use the Yueming Jade that I originally intended to use to help Xuan Ge shed his body to help him carry the Moon God’s inheritance, as well as the Liuyue Lianxintang that I have accumulated over the years to cultivate the next Moon God Emperor, on Qingyue.”
Yue Wuji's expression suddenly changed.
"Given Xuan Ge's personality, he will definitely not remain indifferent. When Qingyue succeeds to the throne in the future,
He will be a big destabilizing factor, and you have to prepare for it in advance."
Having said that, Yue Wuya's determination to make Xia Qingyue the next God Emperor was even more resolute than he had previously shown.
I firmly thought that I was under a mind-controlling spell.
“…I understand.” Yue Wuji had no choice but to agree.
The world changed again, but this time, what appeared before Yun Che’s eyes was a familiar scene.
The Moon God Emperor City, the divine moon is in the sky!
It was the ceremony that shook the Eastern Divine Region. It was originally the ceremony that granted Xia Qingyue the status of “God Queen”. It was also the day when he and Xia Qingyue met in the Divine Realm.
She officially walked out of the place of "imprisonment", and the vast Eastern Divine Territory remembered her name. Then, she suddenly learned that... her late husband, who she thought had been dead for many years, was actually alive in the world, in this Shenyue City.
"Godfather, Qingyue has a favor to ask of you?" Inside the Dunyue Celestial Palace, she concealed the extreme confusion and struggle in her heart and said to Yue Wuya.
"Please ask foster father to give the Moon-Escape Palace to Qingyue."
“Hahahaha,” Yue Wuya laughed heartily: “Qingyue, this is the first time in all these years that you’ve asked me for something. Great, that’s great.”
“It won’t be long before the entire Moon God Realm is yours, not to mention the mere Dunyue Celestial Palace! Since you want it, I’ll give it to you now.”
“Thank you, foster father, for your help.” Behind Xia Qingyue’s gratitude was a deeper struggle and guilt.
"Godfather," she said slowly, each word as light as smoke: "Qingyue has something to say, please remember it."
“In the future, no matter what happens, Qingyue… will never let down the Moon God Realm.”
“Qingyue, you…” Xia Qingyue’s words undoubtedly made Yue Wuya look confused.
"Qingyue just wants godfather to remember these words forever... No matter what happens in the future, please remember these words." She continued speaking, each word was very soft, like the sound of a dream.
Although he was puzzled, he did not ask further questions because there were visitors from other realms. He smiled happily and said, "Qingyue, with what you said, even if 'that prophecy' of the Tianji Realm comes true tomorrow, I will have no regrets."①
Yue Wuya left, and there was no one else in the Dunyue Celestial Palace. Xia Qingyue could no longer hide the pain on her face. She closed her eyes and was stunned for a long time.
"Should I send him a message now and tell him everything, or..."
She recited softly, her eyes trembling, her expression uncertain, as if she was standing on a cliff where two worlds intersected...
She thought of her mother... In terms of the misery of her situation and the difficulty of her decision, she was not even one-tenth as miserable as her mother was back then, but she was already so heartbroken.
Recalling the time when she and Yun Che got married...
…………
"...You have already said clearly that you want to return to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, and you married me because of the promise you made back then, so you must have no objection to me taking a concubine, right?"
"random!"
“That’s what you said! Oh, by the way, I am taking a concubine, but you are absolutely not allowed to mess around outside! Even if I, Yun Che, am a useless person, I am at least… cough! A man of seven feet tall! You must make a promise about this matter!”
"baffling!"
"It's not inexplicable! A man's dignity is above everything else, especially when it comes to women! You married me, but you didn't let me touch you, and you even thought about never coming back! You didn't do anything a wife should do! Now I'm asking you to make the most basic promise, but you're not willing to do it! Even if it's just for the so-called promise, the so-called repayment of a favor... at least show a little sincerity, okay!"
"... That's all. I promise not to have an affair with any man, and I promise not to do anything that would damage your dignity as a man. Are you satisfied with this?"
"Hmph, that's more like it! Phew... your appearance is too dangerous when you're out there. If, by any chance, you see a young man from a famous family and get aroused... Hey, hey, hey, I haven't finished yet!"
…………
“The wedding ceremony was fake, and the Queen of Gods was a figment, but the whole world knows about it. This is too unfair to him.” Xia Qingyue closed her eyes and thought softly, tears slowly falling: “He has just become famous in the God Realm. How can he be tarnished and his future ruined because of me…”
"Mother, foster father... Qingyue is unfilial, I can only atone for my sins...with the rest of my life!"
Xia Qingyue’s whispers, heard by Yun Che, could be said to pierce his heart.
Back then, in the Vanishing Moon Celestial Palace, Xia Qingyue told him everything in very calm words.
He knew at that time that Xia Qingyue must have gone through an extremely painful decision... And this time, looking at Yue Wugou's situation and her last wish, Yue Wuya's great kindness to her, and the unexplainable blood relationship...
Only then did he truly understand how difficult and painful her choice had been.
And in her heart, a heavy sense of guilt was buried.
Xia Qingyue later took on all of these by herself, and he was unable to share even a little bit of it with her.
The scene quickly shifted, from Xia Qingyue taking him to escape from the Moon God Realm using the Moon Escape Palace, to them being intercepted by Qianye Ying'er and being planted with the Brahma Soul Death-Wishing Mark... to her kneeling in front of the Reincarnation Forbidden Land while holding herself, who was dying...
After handing him over to Shen Xi, she returned to the Moon God Realm and knelt before Yue Wuya.
However, Yue Wuya did not give her rage or severe punishment, but just a bitter smile:
"Qingyue, can't you just beg for mercy and be a good boy? You are so stubborn, you are nothing like your mother back then."
His feelings towards Xia Qingyue were not just kindness, but also... tolerance and doting that far exceeded that of an adopted daughter.
As time passed, a year later, Yue Wuya's "death" prophecy came true.
He was killed by Jasmine.
He watched as Yue Wuya, who was already dead, breathed his last and passed the Purple Palace Divine Power to Xia Qingyue...
However, the catastrophe of death came too quickly, so quickly that he was unable to pave the way for Xia Qingyue.
When his life came to an end, what he said to Xia Qingyue was not instructions and expectations for the future, but... hatred for Xia Hongyi.
Yes, he never let it go, and at the last moment of his life, he shed tears that he had never shed in front of Yue Wugou... and died in tears and hatred.
If one had not seen it with one's own eyes, no one could have imagined that the life of a generation of Moon God Emperor would end in such a tragic and miserable way.
On the same day, Yue Wu Gou died for him.
On the screen, he watched Xia Qingyue holding Yue Wugou’s body, crying her heart out.
She put the bronze mirror found on Yue Wugou's body against her chest as a token of her remembrance of her mother.
Since then, she has become completely alone in the God Realm... Carrying the deep guilt towards her mother and adoptive father, she faces the resistance and pressure from almost the entire Moon God Realm alone.
pressure.
…………
Knowing that this would definitely lead to opposition from the entire Moon God Realm, Xia Qingyue was still extremely stubborn and buried her mother's body in Yue Wuya's imperial tomb.
She knelt in front of the tomb for three days and three nights.
Yun Che watched silently for three days and three nights without making any sound, and never looked away...
If he could have stayed by her side like this back then, it would have been great. At least, he could have shared some of the pain in her heart.
Finally, she stood up, but at this moment, her body shook violently and she knelt back on the ground.
The pair of moon-like eyes that were originally as still as dead water suddenly began to tremble in extreme chaos.
“……!?” Although it was just a picture of empty recollection, the soul was stirred so violently and strangely that it almost penetrated the picture and touched his soul directly.
What happened to Qingyue?
She raised her hands and covered her head tightly, and her body began to tremble violently, as if she was enduring some great pain.
What’s going on…what happened!?
Yun Che’s soul sea echoed his overly anxious cry.
It was at this time that the ethereal female voice rang out:
"Her Nine Profound Exquisite Body allowed her to perfectly inherit the power of Zique. The power that matured overnight and the soul that changed dramatically overnight prompted her Glazed Heart to awaken quickly overnight."
"If your heart is like glass, there will be no filth in the world... She began to see the truth behind the 'nothingness' much earlier than you, much earlier than I expected."
“The truth beneath…nothingness?” Yun Che looked around blankly: “What…does it mean?”
"You yourself, have gradually begun to see things clearly, haven't you? Ever since you started practicing the 'Book of the World-Defying Heaven'?" the woman's voice came faintly.
“Me?” Yun Che was startled.
But before he had time to think about it, Xia Qingyue in the recollection scene finally stopped trembling.
She knelt there and slowly raised her eyes. She had already cried until all the tears had dried up, but in an instant, tears stained her cheeks again.
"So... you really are my father... you really are... my father..."
She shed tears with every word and sobbed till she was unable to make a sound.
What it brought to Yun Che was a long period of astonishment.
What did she see?
What she was muttering about...Yue Wuya, is he really her biological father?
The bloodline that blends seamlessly is not a fallacy! ?
However, Xia Hongyi and Yue Wu Gou only had Xia Qingyue three years after they met, and Yue Wu Gou almost swore to Xia Qingyue that he and Yue Wu Ya had never been husband and wife...
It was precisely these extremely solid "evidences" that made Xia Qingyue never truly convinced that he was her biological father despite their mixed blood. Only an indelible haziness remained in her heart, making her willing to regard him as her adoptive father.
Could it be that Yue Wugou and Xia Hongyi were both lying, or...
"No wonder... you always let me be so close to you, so dependent on you... No wonder... you are so good to me... so tolerant..."
"So, I am your daughter... So... I was once loved so deeply by my father..."
"But I...didn't call you father when you were alive..."
"Even your last wish..."
Tears fell, and the sound was sobbing and bloody.
When Yun Che later returned to the God Realm and met Xia Qingyue, Xia Qingyue downplayed the story of Yue Wuya and Yue Wugou's deaths without shedding a single tear or shedding a trace of grief, let alone mentioning... Yue Wuya was her biological father.
She buried all the tears, sins, pain, and guilt deep in her heart.
At this moment, Yun Che recalled Xia Qingyue who had fallen into the abyss of nothingness, and suddenly his heart felt cold.
Because he was shocked to realize that these three people... did not have a good ending.
It was as if he had encountered a cruel curse from fate.
The bright light gradually dimmed, the sound of the wind became increasingly mournful, and it seemed that even the heaven and earth were mourning deeply.
An unknown amount of time passed before Xia Qingyue’s sobbing finally stopped.
She raised her eyes and looked forward, but her eyes were empty... After a long time, they gradually regained focus.
Then, a terrifying coldness condensed little by little.
"Mother," she called softly, "This world has given you nothing but misery. So, you can enjoy bliss with your father in another world."
"I will avenge your hatred and resentment for you!"
"Father, you failed to protect my mother back then. This time, you must never...lose her again."
“And the Moon God Realm that you have devoted your entire life to, I will protect it for you!”
She slowly raised her hand, pressed her fingertips to her chest, and whispered softly: "I, Xia Qingyue, swear here that I have two wishes for the rest of my life..."
"Kill Qianye and protect the Moon God!"
"If you violate any of these rules, you will be punished by heaven and earth, and will be cut off from reincarnation forever!"
Her fingertips pierced her heart, dripping blood. Her blood and blood oath were engraved in front of her parents' graves.
It even stabbed two holes in Yun Che’s heart and soul, causing his soul sea to spasm and collapse for a long time.
Kill Qianye and protect the Moon God...
Chiba was protected by him...
The Moon Goddess was destroyed by him...
And she had truly grasped Qianye Ying'er's life in her hands back then, but she chose to endure it for a thousand years and use her as Yun Che's amulet.
But in the end...
In the world beyond the soul sea, the body leaning against the mountain wall was trembling as if bathed in a biting cold wind, with blood stains between its clenched teeth.
No one could imagine what kind of mental torture he was going through at this moment.
In the picture, Xia Qingyue slowly stood up.
The moment she turned around, the tears on her face dissipated like broken stars, and the purple light reflected in her eyes was so cold that it almost broke the heart and pierced the soul.
Under the trembling and blurry vision, Yun Che saw a Xia Qingyue who was completely different from before... That one turn was a radical transformation.
In the next three years, the Moon God Realm welcomed a new Moon God Emperor who, despite having the will of the previous emperor and Moon Emperor Liuli, refused to submit to anyone.
As well as the terrifying rise in strength and cruel and ruthless baptism of the new Moon God Emperor.
