The moon waxes and wanes
After struggling for quite a while, although they were unable to produce many mixed-race children, nor did they develop many useful beliefs for the Egg God, they gradually got in touch with several gods who opposed the massacre of mixed-race people, and they secretly set up many ambushes for the Sun God.
The overall plan went very smoothly, and Hua Shaoqing was naturally very satisfied.
After arranging everything, they missed their friends more and more. Counting the days, they realized they had been apart for quite a while, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching. So they thought about getting together.
On the other hand, out of gratitude, the Ghost Lord also sent friendly signals to the demons and half-bloods among the ghost clan.
However, he did not get involved in the war between humans, gods, and demons, but stayed out of it for the time being. This was understandable, after all, for him, this was the most advantageous option.
Everyone seems to have adapted to this rhythm and is looking forward to the days to come.
Maybe in the next second, you can reap the fruits of success.
"Although the weather has been hot recently, it's not as unbearable as it was a few days ago. I guess it will be real autumn in a while." Jing Li finished the game of chess and it was a draw.
So he put away the unfinished game, stood up and looked out the window.
Jing Hong nodded and continued, "Summer has indeed lasted for too long. Many people are getting impatient. It's time for the weather to cool down."
"You also liked autumn when you were a child. You said it would be great if you were born in autumn, where it wouldn't be too cold or too hot, and there would be plenty of delicious food..."
Jing Li saw that he looked indifferent and didn't seem to be in the right state. Knowing that his mind was not on his sister at all, he smiled and said, "I heard that your friends will be back this afternoon. It should be about time. Go ahead. I have to go take care of some official business as well."
Jinghong nodded, packed himself up and went out to meet up with the others.
They stood at the edge of the magic forest, waiting to greet their friends whom they had not seen for many days.
"It's been a while since I saw Hua Shaoqing and the others. It feels like years." Xi Zhou said, "They're so slow coming. It would be great if they could appear in front of me in the next second."
"I have fulfilled your wish." The voice arrived first, and then Yu Huiyan teleported in front of Xi Zhou and hugged her.
She made no secret of her longing for everyone, blowing kisses to them and asking, "Did you all miss me? If not, I'd be mad!"
"Where are the others?" Yan Ning asked.
"Behind me, I'll be there soon."
Looking back, the remaining group was no more than a hundred meters away. Within a few words, the others arrived one after another, and the nine of them gathered together.
"I was wondering why Xiaoyu suddenly teleported away. Turns out she was busy trying to please him." Yin Zian teased her with a smile, "Unlike us, who would have been disliked a long time ago, right?"
"No!" Yu Huiyan almost took it seriously and quickly defended herself, "We've been apart for a long time, so of course I can't help but feel emotional. Weren't you anxious at all along the way?"
"Of course I'm anxious."
Everyone was laughing and playing in the summer sunshine, but instead of returning to the palace, they all went to the market.
Perhaps it was because everything was almost ready, everything that could be done had been done, and there was no way to predict what would happen next, so everyone was particularly relaxed.
They discussed with each other where to go to relax and chat about some trivial matters.
After much deliberation, I chose a highly rated movie called "The Rise of Demons", which is a personal biography of the Demon Lord.
Jinghong was reluctant to watch, but with 8 votes to 1, he still gave in.
The Demon Lord in the movie was not Jing Li, nor was he the previous Demon Lord they saw in the coffin, but the one before that, Jing Hong's mother.
In her time, the various races still hated each other and were at war. There was no demon leader yet. Furthermore, the demons had no fixed residence, but rather mixed together like weeds, creating a chaotic mess.
This person discovered the source of the demons' power, led them to occupy the magic forest, fought off the alien races that coveted their powerful magic, and quickly made this scattered race stronger.
All in all, it's a story about a demon king who single-handedly protects his entire clan. It's very individualistic and heroic, and a bit boring due to the clichéd subject matter.
But the timing was clever. The demon clan was once again facing the risk of being surrounded and annihilated, and the new demon king, Jing Li, was also doing a brilliant job. I heard that when they were in school, Jing Li was at his most powerful, suppressing enemies, establishing his authority, and rebelling...
Maybe that's why this movie is still so popular now.
Everyone was watching the movie without thinking too much, just chatting. Luckily, the theater was private, otherwise it would have been very rude.
"You actually have a mother?" Heshun knew that it was Jinghong's mother, poked his shoulder and asked curiously.
"...Why don't you listen to what you're saying yourself." Jing Hong was a little speechless, "I didn't pop out of a stone, how could I not have a mother?"
“Ahem…”
Heshun also felt that he was talking nonsense. He took a bite of popcorn and chose to change the subject. "Who told you never to mention it? ...By the way, tell me, if it wasn't the Sun God who wanted to kill those with demon blood when we came here, but your sister, what would you do? Would you stand on your sister's side?"
Jing Hong smiled and patted He Shun firmly, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction, like a joke, but also like a warning, "Don't think about things that won't happen. Once you think about it, if there are irreversible consequences, it will be too late."
He Shun shrugged and changed the subject, "Could it be that the mission given to us by the school is to stop the Sun God? It doesn't sound like some important prophecy that needs to be calculated with the fingers."
"Isn't this important?"
"It's important, but it's not something we need to learn. We should be more like a teacher training student, resisting sudden spiritual power when the time comes, while teaching the secrets of spiritual power."
"Anyway, the school always has its reasons." Yin Zian didn't care. "As long as the results are good, that's all that matters."
"You seem to have a lot of strange ideas today." Jinghong complained to Heshun.
"Well, I've always been like this. You haven't seen me for a long time, so you're not used to it."
"Then you three have worked really hard."
"Hello!"
After all the arguing, we didn't actually see much of the movie. But we all knew that our friends had been doing well recently, which was good.
After watching the movie, we went out to eat and spent a happy day. When we were ready to go back, the sun had already set and the moon was rising.
The moon was large and round that day, and looked very beautiful. So the nine of them brought some snacks and fruits and gathered in the courtyard to admire the moon.
"What month is it today?" Xi Zhou felt a little chill in the evening breeze, so he put on a coat and asked.
"August 15th, maybe." Jing Hong answered casually.
"If it were in our Milky Way, on August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, relatives and friends would reunite and eat mooncakes," said Yan Ning.
"According to what you said, we are reunited today, but we can't eat mooncakes. Isn't it a pity?" Jing Hong picked up a piece of flower cake from the plate and ate it. It was also round and looked not much different.
"No regrets, I don't like mooncakes." Xi Zhou said with a smile, "They're too sweet and greasy, not tasty. It's better for Heshun to make a random dish."
"Come to think of it, it's been a while since I've experienced Heshun's craftsmanship."
So, everyone's eyes fell on Heshun tacitly.
Heshun:?
Forget it. Heshun also realized that Xizhou was afraid that everyone would be sad and think of their deceased relatives and friends.
He is generous and doesn't care.
Just as I was about to pick up the wok to cook two dishes for everyone, a few people suddenly received news from the school.
Teacher Yayan: The Milky Way will be in danger in the next few days. Xi Zhou, Yan Ning, Lu Lanting, and He Shun, you need to go there. I'll be here to pick you up soon.
Just how fast did it happen? Within seconds of the five of them receiving the message, the teacher arrived. Without even saying hello, he turned around and quickly left.
The fastest people among them could hardly react in time.
"...So urgent?"
"Could it be that the spiritual energy over there was released prematurely?" Yin Zian asked worriedly.
"Stop being such a jinx."
There's really no way.
Reunion is hard to come by, but separation is easy.
After the people left, the four people lost interest in appreciating the moon and had to go back to their rooms to rest.
The moon above my head gradually set in the west and was covered by a thick layer of clouds, making the sky darker.
As soon as they left, the situation seemed to change again, and a number of problems, both big and small, inexplicably appeared one after another.
After all, the sun god is a powerful god and has the most faith among human beings.
The Sun God faction gradually discovered some clues and saw through the trap. The Star God and the Sun God also quarreled several times.
The demons didn't know why, but the magic power of the magic forest was weakened, the dense forest became sparse, and sunlight penetrated through the gaps.
No one knows why.
Summer is not over yet, and the heat is here again.
Everyone was a little uneasy.
This uneasiness comes not only from the sun god, but also from magic.
"I feel like my magic power is slipping away," Jinghong said.
The demons are a race composed of magic power and are the most sensitive to demonic energy among all races.
"How could this happen?" Yin Zi'an, as a half-demon, also noticed something.
"Is it the Sun God, or is there someone else behind this that we don't know about?"
Hua Shaoqing shook his head, "Not really."
"Rather than saying the magic power is dissipating, it's more like a deep silence... like the world is preparing for something. After all, not long ago, this world was in a state of magic overload."
"Maybe that prophecy is coming true."
What everyone was waiting for wasn't the words, but the Sun God, who was planning to strike first.
Although the magic power gradually receded like the tide, the gods were still more blessed by faith.
Just as they were investigating the retreat of magic, the Sun God finally extended his hand to the Magic Forest.
A huge magic circle lit up, and in a flash, four people appeared in the realm of God's favor.
Falling into the trap of the Sun God is not a good sign.
