Lin Qiye and Jia Lan walked to the door of the broken palace. The former hesitated for a moment and then stopped.

"What's wrong?" Galan asked in confusion when he saw Lin Qiye stop.

"Jia Lan." Lin Qiye turned around, stared into Jia Lan's eyes, and said solemnly, "Promise me."

"Agree...promise what?"

Jia Lan was stunned, as if he had thought of something, and two blushes appeared on his cheeks.

“From now on, you must not transfer [Immortality] to me without my permission.” Lin Qiye’s eyes were full of seriousness.

When Galan, who was full of expectations, heard these words, the light in his eyes dimmed, and he seemed a little disappointed.

"Also, even if you transfer [Immortality] to me, if I ask you to take it back, you must take it back... Do you understand?"

Lin Qiye's expression was extremely serious.

Although he had already left the fishing village, this did not mean that Lin Qiye had forgotten what had happened since the time erasure began...

Lin Qiye could accept dying in battle, but he could not accept living alone at the expense of his teammates. He would never allow Jia Lan to transfer [Immortality] to him in a critical moment, saving his life while putting himself in danger.

He didn't want the people closest to him to give up the chance to live because of him.

He must make three agreements with Galan.

Jia Lan looked at Lin Qiye's determined eyes and asked tentatively: "What if... I don't agree?"

"..." Lin Qiye was stunned and said hesitantly, "If you don't agree, I will... I will..."

He really hadn't thought about what he would do if Galan didn't agree.

Expel Jialan from Nightfall? That seems too harsh... Beat her up? Don't be ridiculous. If a fight breaks out, I guess the only one who will get beaten up will be Lin Qiye himself...

After thinking for a long time, Lin Qiye still couldn't think of a good way to punish him.

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Qiye seemed to have made up his mind. He looked into Jia Lan's eyes and said word by word: "If you don't agree, from today on... I will not take the initiative to communicate with you, nor will I respond to any of your words or your actions."

Jia Lan blinked and took a long while to react before answering:

"Are you trying to say... that if I don't agree, you'll ignore me?"

"……Um."

Galan:ヾ(??▽?)ノ

Jia Lan looked at Lin Qiye who was extremely serious in front of him. For some reason, he found him inexplicably cute.

"Okay, I promise you." Galan stuck out his tongue.

Seeing this, Lin Qiye nodded slightly, turned around and walked into the broken palace.

It is called a palace, but what stands in front of Lin Qiye now are just a few broken walls that barely form a circle. The collapsed pillars and dome have shattered into pieces of stone on the ground. Standing inside the palace, you can look up and see the red moon in the sky without any obstruction.

"There seems to be nothing here..." Jia Lan looked around and asked in confusion, "Why did Uncle Merlin ask us to come here?"

Lin Qiye's eyes also swept around, hesitated for a moment, and then released his own mental power.

Soon, he set his eyes on the huge rock fragments scattered on the ground under his feet.

"Here."

A touch of night spread out from Lin Qiye's body, like a streak of ink, quickly dyeing the white stone fragments on the ground black. He raised his fingertips lightly, and countless pieces of stone flew into the air.

On the ground of the broken palace, murals painted with scarlet brushstrokes were hideously exposed in the eyes of the two men, as if they were outlined with blood.

"This is..." Galan stood there in a daze.

"More than fifty years ago, there was a mural about the God War in Takamagahara." Lin Qiye looked down at his feet and spoke thoughtfully, "It should be that during the battle among the gods, a god managed to stay awake under the red moon and recorded everything with his own divine blood..."

Lin Qiye squatted down and looked at the mural carefully from the very beginning.

In the first painting, scribbled blood outlines of a sky full of divine figures standing in mid-air, as if they were looking up at the sky. Directly above them, a red moon was quietly hanging in the sky. Among these scribbled divine figures, the three standing at the top were particularly prominent.

One of the figures had a sun painted on his forehead, one had a moon painted on it, and another had a wave painted on it.

"Who are they?" Galan pointed at the three divine figures and asked puzzledly.

Lin Qiye pondered for a moment, "In Japanese mythology, the father god Izanami first gave birth to three children, namely Amaterasu who controls the sun, Tsukuyomi who controls the moon, and Susanoo who controls the ocean. These three gods rule over Takamagahara and their status is superior to other gods.

If I'm not mistaken, these three figures are referring to them."

Lin Qiye looked at the next mural.

In this mural, the one among the three divine figures symbolizing the moon suddenly changed the direction it faced. He stood under the red moon, holding a weapon in his hand, and stabbed it into the body of Amaterasu Omikami, who symbolized the sun. This painting deliberately enlarged his eyes, and the scarlet blood was thickly smeared on his eyes in several layers, which were a little black and looked extremely weird.

"Is he the traitor?" Lin Qiye asked in surprise.

Galan studied it carefully for a moment, "What this painting means is that Tsukuyomi, who symbolizes the moon, has joined the Red Moon and unexpectedly stabbed the weapon in his hand into the body of Amaterasu?"

"That's right." Lin Qiye thought seriously for a moment and continued, "That's right, I should have thought of it earlier... Among the three supreme gods of Takamagahara, Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto worships the power of the moon, and his own divine power is closely related to the moon. If the moon is polluted by the gods of Cthulhu, he must be the first to be affected."

Jia Lan thought for a moment, "Like Chen Yangrong from the fishing village?"

"It should be." Lin Qiye pointed at the strange eyes of Tsukuyomi in the mural, "His eyes and crazy expression look very similar to Chen Yangrong... If I'm not mistaken, he should have also heard the whispers of the red moon and completely fell into the brainwashing of the Cthulhu gods.

I have always had a question: there are so many kingdoms of God in the world, why did Cthulhu choose Takamagahara to attack...

Now it seems that in addition to the fact that the Takamagahara Kingdom is closed and will not attract the attention of other kingdoms even if the red moon descends, the existence of Tsukuyomi is also a crucial reason. After all, there is no supreme god who worships the moon in other kingdoms.

With Tsukuyomi, a trump card that can be controlled at any time, it means that they can unexpectedly control another Supreme God, and the resistance to their capture of Takamagahara will be greatly reduced. "

Lin Qiye walked to the third mural and looked down again.
