Dark clouds shrouded the village.
The figure inside the black stone tablet said meaningfully, "Throughout history, no one has ever wanted to be my friend. The masses either fear me or want to replace me. Qin Luo, you are very interesting, but I don't need friends."
Qin Luo smiled and said softly, "Even if we can't be friends, I want to tell you that we can only achieve a win-win situation through cooperation; otherwise, we will only suffer losses."
The blurry figure gazed at the dark night sky, "The darkest upheaval in history is about to strike. If you help me, I can still prevent the disaster from happening."
Qin Luo frowned slightly. "Is it an extraterrestrial demon?"
The blurry figure nodded slowly. "As my power weakens, the boundary wall gradually disappears. When the boundary wall completely disappears, even Buddha and the founder of Confucianism will not be able to stop the attack of the extraterrestrial demons."
Qin Luo said solemnly, "Therefore, we should unite instead of fighting each other."
The blurry figure in the black stone slowly said, "I can repair the boundary wall as long as I recover to my peak condition."
Qin Luo smiled and said, "I can help you, but there are conditions. The new order should be established by us together, and all living beings should have a bright future."
The blurry figure in the black stone smiled contemptuously, "A great calamity is coming, Qin Luo. You have no choice. The beautiful world you desire simply does not exist."
Qin Luo watched as the figure inside the black stone disappeared, followed by the dissipation of the dark clouds.
Suddenly, the bright moonlight shone down on Qin Luo, and a luminous path appeared between heaven and earth.
The bright moon in the sky was like a silver jade plate. Qin Luo raised his head and murmured softly, "Are you guiding me?"
Qin Luo felt a sense of warmth. He followed the moonlight northward, passing through towering mountains and ridges, where many giant insects and ferocious beasts roamed.
A loud cry came from afar. Qin Luo looked up and saw a colorful light. It was a five-colored divine bird circling in the sky.
Trees kept falling in the mountains and forests, and a huge black snake with two heads was frantically fleeing. The five-colored divine bird had a sharp light in its eyes. It suddenly descended from the sky and tore the black snake to pieces with its sharp claws.
"As expected of the Northern Wilderness."
Qin Luo murmured softly.
The northern part of the Great Zhen Dynasty is known as the Northern Wilderness, where a large number of demonic beasts gather and many areas are forbidden zones.
Deep in the mountains, all was quiet. Qin Luo saw a crescent-shaped lake in the distance, reflecting a bright full moon, surrounded by neat rows of earthen houses.
Qin Luo noticed the tribe by the lake and discovered a temple there that was radiating a silver glow.
"Moon Temple".
Upon seeing the words "Moon Goddess Temple," Qin Luo immediately understood why the moonlight had guided him here.
There were no lights in the tribe, and the area around the Moon God Temple was quiet and secluded. Qin Luo entered the Moon God Temple. The statue of the Moon God was carved from jade, with a smooth and lustrous appearance, and was extremely beautiful. This statue was the most beautiful statue Qin Luo had ever seen.
Qin Luo bowed respectfully to the statue of the Moon Goddess.
A radiant figure appeared in the temple. A goddess in a long silver dress appeared before Qin Luo. She was surrounded by silver light, ethereal and otherworldly, like a fairy.
"Are you the moon goddess?"
"Um."
The moon goddess nodded and smiled gently.
Qin Luo looked at the Moon Goddess and felt a sense of familiarity, as if she were a friend he had known for a long time.
Bathed in holy silver light, the moon goddess was noble and elegant. Her clear eyes were like a starry sea. "Qin Luo, we have witnessed your growth all the way, but we have not been able to help you."
Qin Luo smiled and said respectfully, "The gentle breeze and bright moon are always with me. I can feel your presence. I will always remember your care for me."
"Come with me."
The moon goddess walked out of the temple.
Qin Luo followed the Moon Goddess to the lakeside.
The lake reflected the moonlight, but Qin Luo and the Moon Goddess were nowhere to be seen. The Moon Goddess warned, "Qin Luo, the Heavenly Dao has lured you to the Great Zhen Dynasty. It is very dangerous here."
The Moon Goddess was referring to you. Qin Luo thought of Hua Ying. He had sensed Hua Ying's presence when he was near Jincheng. He had deliberately concealed his presence at the time because he was afraid of being discovered by her.
Qin Luo said softly, "With Hua Ying's current cultivation level, even the Heavenly Dao can't do anything to her."
The Moon Goddess's eyes narrowed slightly. "Heavenly Dao has deliberately orchestrated this. He may have a way to control the Flower Shadow. If Heavenly Dao succeeds, the world as you know it will be destroyed."
Why does He want to destroy the world?
Qin Luo's eyes were filled with doubt. Before the Great Tribulation of Heaven, they were all powerful beings who cleansed this world.
The Moon Goddess's expression gradually turned solemn. "The Heavenly Dao wants the entire world to operate entirely according to its will. The operation of this world has already escaped its control, so it intends to destroy this world and start anew."
Qin Luo frowned slightly. "I will find a way to stop Him, but what about the boundary barrier?"
The Moon Goddess smiled and said, "When a new Heavenly Dao appears, the boundary will naturally heal."
"A new Heavenly Dao?"
"Yes."
The Moon Goddess said softly, "The Dao Ancestor said that the new Heavenly Dao will be a product of the unity of heaven and man."
"Flower shadow?"
"Hua Ying was originally a flawed product of the unity of heaven and man. Your heart made her whole, but she has not yet realized the importance of becoming the Heavenly Dao. She is very likely to be devoured by the Heavenly Dao."
Qin Luo said earnestly, "I believe in Hua Ying; she will definitely be able to control the power within her."
The Moon Goddess chuckled softly, "If Hua Ying knew how much you believed in her, she would surely succeed."
Qin Luo understood the Moon Goddess's implication: "I just want her to live well; I don't want to make choices for her."
The Moon Goddess gazed at Qin Luo and said, "When you gave your heart to Hua Ying, you had already made the choice for her. Now, only she can become the new Heavenly Dao."
Qin Luo hadn't considered these things at the time. He sighed softly, "Isn't there any other way?"
"If you want Huaying to live, there is no other way, otherwise there are other ways."
"Then forget it."
The Moon Goddess smiled gently, "Qin Luo, if you need help, you can call upon me, and no matter how far away you are, the moonlight will shine upon you."
Qin Luo bowed to express his gratitude.
"Senior Moon Goddess, I must take my leave now."
"Go."
Qin Luo originally had some questions he wanted to ask the Moon Goddess, but thinking of Hua Ying, he decided to go find her first.
...
early morning.
A purple figure stood atop the mountain.
A purple glow enveloped Hua Ying as she gazed at the majestic city walls in the distance—the capital of the Great Zhen Dynasty.
"You know better than anyone that Qin Luo is dead."
"Shut up."
Hua Ying's face was frosty, and the temperature around her seemed to drop as well. The consciousness of the Heavenly Dao was always whispering in her ear.
The Heavenly Dao consciousness sneered, "If you agree to my conditions, I can help you find Qin Luo."
Hua Ying ignored him.
The Heavenly Dao consciousness continued, "Xuanwu lives deep in the North Sea. He is skilled in divination and may know where Qin Luo is. You can go to the North Sea to find him."
Hua Ying narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly. She knew that Heaven would never help her for no reason; it was very likely a conspiracy.
