Moon Lord?
Fang Xiu recalled Jiang Mengyue's previous behavior. Could someone like her really be considered superior?
"Senior True God..." Fairy Miaoyin asked shyly and timidly under the gaze of a group of seventh-tier powerhouses, "Is Lord Moon Venerable still alive?"
She appeared somewhat petite standing before the towering Fang Xiu, her beautiful eyes filled with hope and anxiety as she looked up, seemingly longing to hear news that Yue Zun was still alive.
Fang Xiu glanced at her calmly and said indifferently, "Dead."
As everyone knows, Fang Xiu never lies unless the situation requires it.
Jiang Mengyue has already been thoroughly offended by him. Why would he tell the Xuyue Palace that she is alive, so that the people of the Xuyue Palace can rescue her? And then he would have another eighth-rank enemy?
Fairy Miaoyin's face stiffened instantly, and the light in her beautiful eyes quickly dimmed.
Her master, An Linglong, tried to smooth things over, saying, "Please forgive her, true god. My disciple is just being sincere. She grew up listening to the legends of the Moon Lord, so she pays close attention to him. Please forgive her rudeness."
Then, she changed the subject: "I wonder what the true god is called? I suppose you are a figure from the same era as Lord Moon Lord."
"Fang Xiu."
This is the first time that the true God has revealed his name to the world.
Upon hearing the name, everyone was slightly taken aback. They searched their minds back five thousand years but found no information about the name Fang Xiu.
Logically speaking, those who can become gods must have left a significant mark on history and should have been great figures who were once renowned throughout the world. However, the name Fang Xiu was unfamiliar to them.
"Drink until you drop? What a dashing name." Fairy Miaoyin murmured to herself, her tone full of longing. It seemed like she was talking to herself, but everyone present was a master, and they could hear even the buzzing of a mosquito's wings, let alone a woman's soft murmur.
"Until death do us part." Fang Xiu's calm voice rang out again, but his emotionless words seemed to contain unimaginable undercurrents.
Fairy of Wonderful Sounds: "..."
She felt as if she was hated by the true God.
For some reason, everyone sensed a chill that went deep into their bones from Fang Xiu's words.
The scene fell into a brief silence.
Two seconds later, An Linglong smiled and said, "Your Excellency, I apologize for my poor hearing, but I have never heard of you before. May I ask which sect or school you belonged to?"
Fang Xiu shook his head: "I don't know."
This answer surprised everyone. They didn't...know?
"Could it be that it's been too long and you've forgotten?" An Linglong asked tentatively.
"I don't remember anything from before."
That's right, Fang Xiu lied again.
As a newcomer, he did not intend to say that he came from the mortal world, because it was obvious that these people had no idea that the mortal world existed, and they believed that the land outside Kyushu was a land abandoned by the gods.
If one insists on claiming to come from a land abandoned by God, it would likely cause many unnecessary disputes.
Furthermore, these people mistakenly believe themselves to be the true gods, but they are not. Once they engage in too much communication, their flaws will inevitably be exposed.
The only consequence of being exposed is being besieged.
Fang Xiu always assumed the worst about others. Once these people from the Divine Kingdom found out that he was not a true god but a fifth-order mortal cultivator, they would definitely think that he possessed some supreme treasure that allowed him to remain safe and sound in the Divine Ruins.
The more respect they show to themselves now, the more cruel they will be later.
Having just arrived in the divine kingdom, and with the situation unclear, it is not appropriate for me to become the target of public criticism.
Therefore, Fang Xiu lied. Pretending to have amnesia was the simplest and most effective way to explain why a true god knew nothing, so as to avoid anyone coming to ask him about cultivation knowledge.
"I...I don't remember?!"
Everyone was instantly shocked. Had the True God lost his memory? Could it be that some accident occurred during his ascension to True God, causing him to lose his memory?
If that's the case, wouldn't it mean that the current true god is all alone and can be easily won over to one's own camp?
In an instant, everyone's gaze toward Fang Xiu became fiery. A true god with amnesia! If they could fool him and trick him into joining their camp, wouldn't they be able to roam freely throughout the entire Southern Yue and even Yunzhou?
"That's right. I woke up in the Divine Ruins and forgot many things from before. This time I came out of the world to try to find my past memories."
“Your Excellency, you have lost your memory but still remember Lord Moon Venerable. Could it be that she is a very important person to you? If you want to regain your memories, you can come to our Void Moon Palace. Perhaps you can recall something.” An Linglong took the initiative and invited Fang Xiu first. Moreover, her words were so reasonable that others who wanted to invite Fang Xiu could not find a better reason for it.
Unexpectedly, Fang Xiu shook his head: "I am the Jiang Mengyue I met after I lost my memory, or to be precise, a wisp of her remnant soul. She had already died in the Divine Ruins, and only a wisp of her remnant soul remained in this jade pendant. She said she was Jiang Mengyue from the Void Moon Palace and hoped that I could send this jade pendant to the Void Moon Palace. After that, her remnant soul dissipated."
He flipped his hand, and a crescent-shaped jade pendant appeared in his palm.
An Linglong was instantly shocked: "The Void Moon Seal! This is indeed an important token of our sect."
She bowed deeply to Fang Xiu with a solemn expression, a look of gratitude flashing across her delicate face: "Thank you, True God, for informing me of the whereabouts of our sect's senior and returning the token. Your noble character moves me deeply. Please accept my bow!"
Fang Xiu did not stop her, but simply watched her put on an act.
As An Linglong bowed, Fairy Miaoyin cried on the other side. Her beautiful eyes were slightly moist, with glistening tears welling up in them, as if she was about to burst into tears. However, she also revealed her pearly teeth and bit her delicate lips tightly. Her exquisite little nose twitched as she tried her best to hold back her tears.
She kept stealing glances at the Void Moon Seal in Fang Xiu's hand, clearly unable to accept such devastating news. Now that she had the token, it meant that the Moon Lord was truly dead.
“Your Excellency, please forgive my abruptness. Since you have lost your memory, you must have nowhere to go for the time being. And since you are a great benefactor of my Void Moon Palace, why don’t you stay at the Void Moon Palace for the time being, so that we can repay your kindness?”
Upon hearing this, the people from other factions became anxious and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, our Spirit Medicine Mountain is famous throughout the world for its alchemy and specializes in treating all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases. Perhaps your amnesia can also be treated. If you don't mind, you can come to Spirit Medicine Mountain to stay temporarily."
“Your Excellency, the disciples of my Fire Cloud Court are all over the world. We are sure to be able to find any clues about you. Coming to Fire Cloud Court is definitely the best choice.”
"Your Excellency, the True God..."
Despite the crowd's enthusiastic invitations, Fang Xiu ignored them and simply said two words to An Linglong: "Lead the way."
An Linglong was overjoyed and immediately summoned a hundred-zhang-long immortal boat made entirely of white jade.
"Please, Your Excellency, the True God."
