"The Gate of Takama-ga-hara?" Lin Qiye was stunned. "You mean, behind that door... is Takama-ga-hara?"

Merlin nodded slightly, "It's also our destination this time."

Amid the rolling waves, the huge body of the whale slowly approached the huge door above the sea.

Lin Qiye stood behind Huajing, looking at Ju Men from a perspective that changed from looking straight ahead, to looking up, and finally to not being able to see the full picture even when looking up. The shock in his heart was beyond words.

This door is really too big. The body of the whale is already huge, but at this moment, in front of the guiding door, it is still as small as a toy. As for Lin Qiye and the other two standing on its back, they are not even a speck of dust.

"Get ready, we're going in." Merlin said suddenly.

Before Lin Qiye could react, the huge door in front of Huajing silently opened a gap, and a dazzling white light flashed out from behind the door, making Lin Qiye close his eyes uncontrollably.

A huge gravitational force swept out from behind the door!

Buzz——!!

The ancient and heavy door slowly opened. Under the terrifying gravity, Lin Qiye and Galan's bodies instantly separated from the back of the whale, like two particles of dust sucked away by a vacuum cleaner, and flew directly to the back of the door.

Merlin, who was still standing motionless behind the whale, had a gleam of light in his eyes. Two magic circles appeared in his palms. A long blue rope popped out quickly and instantly tied Lin Qiye and Jialan's waists, pulling them back to his side.

The gravity was excited, the sea water was churning, and the huge body of the whale automatically floated away from the sea surface and slowly flew into the gate.

As Huajing's figure disappeared, the door gradually closed. After a muffled sound, the door was tightly closed and gradually faded on the sea level, as if it had never appeared.

…

When Lin Qiye opened his eyes, there was only blood between heaven and earth.

The vast sea of ​​blood rolled under the whale's body. The broken flesh and the remains of weapons surged between the waves from time to time. The breeze full of bloody smell penetrated into Lin Qiye's nostrils, making him frown. His eyes swept around and finally looked up at the sky. An extremely huge scarlet blood moon was hanging quietly in the sky.

This red moon was dozens of times larger than the one Lin Qiye had seen in the fishing village. It was like a red disk that blocked out the sun and sky, embedded on the top of the distant mountains, and its light fell on every corner of the world.

Lin Qiye stared at the moon for a long time before he came to his senses and looked at Merlin beside him in shock.

Merlin's expression was equally solemn.

"Sir Merlin... where... is this place?" Lin Qiye asked tentatively.

"Didn't I just say that? After passing through the Gate of Guidance, this place is naturally Takama-ga-hara."

"But isn't Takamagahara the kingdom of gods in Japan? How could this be?"

Lin Qiye looked around in confusion. The bloody ocean, the broken land, the silent and eerie tall buildings in the distance, and the heart-pounding red moon in the sky did not look like the place where gods lived. Instead, it looked like hell.

Merlin looked up at the sky for a long time, then raised his right hand and pointed at the red moon.

“Because of it.”

"Red Moon?" Lin Qiye paused for a moment and added, "Or... the gods of Cthulhu?"

"There is no essential difference between the two." Merlin replied, "The reason why the red moon exists is because the gods of Cthulhu broke through a corner of the seal. After their own power surged out, it formed a regional pollution radiation, which was projected from the moon to the earth. When you look up at the moon from the polluted area, it is red."

There was so much information contained in this sentence that Lin Qiye just stood there in a daze.

When Lin Qiye was in the fishing village, he already knew that the Cthulhu gods existed on the moon. Combined with Chen Yangrong's words "will eventually return" and the identity of the Seraph as a "gatekeeper", he also guessed that the reason why the Cthulhu gods were on the moon was not their own intention, but was caused by some other factors.

Judging from Merlin’s words, is there some kind of seal keeping Cthulhu on the moon?

"The gods of Cthulhu were artificially sealed on the moon?" Lin Qiye asked in shock, "What kind of existence can seal a pantheon on the moon?"

“I don’t know.” Merlin shook his head. “Fate at that level is simply beyond my reach… Besides, it’s still unknown whether Cthulhu can be considered a pantheon.”

Hearing this, Lin Qiye was stunned.

"What's the meaning?"

"The aura of the Cthulhu gods is quite different from other pantheons on Earth." Merlin said thoughtfully, "Whether it is Daxia mythology, Greek mythology, Egyptian mythology, or Indian mythology... they all have a history and cultural heritage that can be traced back, and they carry a heavy foundation of destiny.

But those things on the moon are different.

Let me ask you, do you know where the birthplace of Cthulhu Mythos is? "

Lin Qiye shook his head blankly, "I don't know..."

"Then do you know when this pantheon appeared? Who proposed it? How did it spread?"

Lin Qiye frowned slightly. He lowered his head and thought for a long time, then shook his head...

There was no information about this in his memory.

"Don't you find it strange?" Merlin said slowly, "A pantheon, without any background, religion, or historical accumulation, suddenly appeared in everyone's cognition, as if it was forcibly inserted into the human mind. No one even doubted the authenticity of this pantheon, and it just existed naturally...

Are 'they'...really myths?"

Lin Qiye was stunned.

A large number of thoughts rolled through his mind, impacting his perception of reality.

“But...if [Cthulhu] is not a myth, then what are they?” Lin Qiye asked blankly.

"I don't know." Merlin shook his head. "All of this is just my suspicion and conjecture. It's too far away for you. Don't take it to heart."

Lin Qiye took a deep breath, put aside those complicated thoughts, and was about to ask something else when the whale under their feet suddenly trembled violently!

The blood-colored ocean suddenly rolled, and a low humming sound came from the body of the whale. Merlin's face changed slightly, and he grabbed Lin Qiye and Galan with both hands. A magic circle suddenly opened, and the figures of the three disappeared on the back of the whale.

When they appeared again, they had left the bloody ocean and arrived at the edge of the wreckage-strewn coast.

Lin Qiye turned his head and saw that the huge corpse began to sink gradually among the surging waves. The scarlet blood-red light spread out from its body, covering the entire sea in an instant.

At the beginning, it didn't think it needed to use weapons to face such an opponent, but at this moment it had to take out its weapons, otherwise, it would be unable to resist. No matter how strong it is, it will continue to consume its energy. Once its own bloodline power is consumed excessively, it will also damage its origin.

"I have to say, you've exceeded my expectations. But now I'm going to use all my strength." As Cao Yuwei spoke, the Phoenix True Fire gathered towards it like a vast ocean, and actually took back the Phoenix True Flame domain.

The blazing Phoenix Fire condensed around its body, transforming into a gorgeous golden-red armor covering its entire body. Holding a sword in hand, it stared at the handsome young man like a demon.

The beautiful young lady did not pursue, but stood at a distance, trying to calm down her somewhat excited mood. Although this battle did not last long, her emotions were becoming more and more excited.

Before she really faced the Great Demon King-level Undead Fire Phoenix, she didn't know if she could really resist it. Her confidence came from what Tang San had given her before. As the battle continued, when she really began to suppress her opponent and protected herself from the Phoenix True Fire with the Seven-Colored Sky Fire Liquid, she knew that she could really do it.

Over the past hundred years, Tang San had taught her many fighting skills, all of which were most suitable for her to use. Just like the Netherworld Stab and Netherworld Claws. And the Sword Star Cold that just broke Cao Yuwei's finger for the first time. In Tang San's opinion, these were all true divine skills, and after he slightly modified them and taught them to the beautiful young lady, they were all most suitable for her to perform.

The more she used these abilities, the more the beautiful young lady could not help but be convinced by Tang San. When Tang San first told her that these were divine skills, she was somewhat confused. However, at this time, she was able to cross levels and continuously injure and oppress her opponents. If it was not a divine skill, how could she do it with the difference in cultivation?

At this moment, all the emperors standing on the Imperial Pillar looked at this little girl with new eyes. When the Phoenix True Flame Field appeared, they were still considering how long the beautiful young lady could last under this field.
