It was a woman, with black hair and a long dress, exuding an ethereal aura.
She was none other than the Moon Goddess: Ling Yue.
In a flash, she left the depths of Immortal Stele Mountain.
When she reappeared, she was already in the sky above the Alzheimer's Autonomous Region.
The place she personally chose as Runze's place of imprisonment: the Immortal Stele River, overflowing with yin energy. In the end, he chose the path she feared most and could not accept most: becoming a demon.
…
As soon as Wan Jiao finished setting up her God-Slaying Array, thunder rumbled throughout the entire Alz Autonomous Prefecture. This wasn't due to her array, but because a god had descended (awakened).
Those thunderbolts were sent down by the Heavenly Dao to welcome that god.
Wan Jiao frowned slightly, wondering if there were gods in this world besides Runze, when Runze, who was standing not far from her, suddenly asked excitedly, "Ling Yue, is that you?"
The next second, he vanished from the bottom of the Immortal Stele River.
Runze reappeared in mid-air, opposite him was the Moon Goddess, Lingyue, who had just awakened from a slumber of thousands of years.
"Ling Yue, is it really you? You're still alive?"
Runze could hardly believe his eyes.
He reached out to touch Lingyue's face, but she dodged him.
She looked at him with icy eyes, "One wrong step leads to another, Runze, don't you realize your mistake now?"
"Why should I repent? Heaven is unjust, causing our deaths and our daughter's death in your womb. I will never regret what I did back then." Runze's eyes were already bloodshot as he spoke, and his body was filled with demonic energy.
Originally a demigod, he became a demon when he thought about his past.
"No one can understand how desperate I felt when I held your body as you were about to give birth and watched you disappear little by little."
At this point, Runze realized what was going on.
Heaven forbids gods from loving each other, much less from uniting and having children. He watched helplessly as Ling Yue perished in his arms, her body and soul extinguished; how could she… now?
Runze's face clearly showed his confusion.
Ling Yue sighed and finally revealed the things that no one else knew.
*Lingyue's Nourishing Past (Simplified Version)*
Since the beginning of time, the laws of nature have explicitly forbidden gods from loving each other. However, over hundreds of thousands of years, the ancient god Runze and the goddess of moonlight, who spent every day together, eventually developed feelings for each other, ate the forbidden fruit, and became pregnant.
Anyone who violates the rules of Heaven, as long as they exist within the Three Realms and Six Paths, will be punished, whether god or demon. If gods fall in love and conceive a child, there is only one fate: annihilation of both body and spirit.
Knowing she couldn't escape, Lingyue decided to sacrifice herself and her child to give Runze a chance at life. She confessed to Heaven that she had seduced Runze, which led to everything, and was willing to die to atone for her sins, carrying her "bastard child."
Heaven knows everything.
It predicted that a catastrophe would occur thousands of years later, and that only the child in Ling Yue's womb could stop it, so it made a deal with Ling Yue.
She vanished completely in Runze's arms, leaving all the gods and mortals believing that the Moon Goddess Ling Yue had ceased to exist. Secretly, however, she helped Ling Yue give birth to a child and even found a suitable home for that child.
Everything was progressing in the direction Lingyue had hoped for, but Runze started acting recklessly.
He used his divine powers to unleash calamities upon the world, turning humanity into a living hell. To stop him, all the gods were mobilized, but most perished at his hands.
Finally, by combining the power of the gods, Runze, who had lost Lingyue and her child and was completely controlled by her inner demons, was sealed at the bottom of the Immortal Stele River.
After sealing away the deity's power, the gods fulfilled their divine duties, saving the world from its hellish state, and perished one by one.
Soon, Lingyue became the last deity in the world, apart from Runze who was sealed (imprisoned). For the sake of her and Runze's child, she volunteered to be eternally stationed at the bottom of Immortal Stele Mountain to reinforce the seal and suppress Runze at the bottom of Immortal Stele River.
Because Heaven promised her that as long as Runze never caused harm to the world, their child would be able to enjoy all the rights of a normal person in this world.
As a mother, Lingyue could not refuse, nor could she possibly refuse...
*The past is gone*
"You will reappear and meet me again, only because I have become a demon." Runze's words revealed no emotion.
Ling Yue opened her lips, about to speak, but Runze spoke first.
His words were filled with self-reproach. He said, "If I had known that becoming a demon would allow me to see you again, I shouldn't have delayed for so long."
Ling Yue: "..."
Wan Jiao, who had just arrived: "???"
Wan Jiao appeared, her voice deep and angry as she shouted, "Get out!"
He needs to be alone with Ling Yue.
He didn't want anyone to bother him.
The word "roll" in Runze, mixed with a continuous stream of "demonic energy," swept over Xiang Wanjiao.
Even though she was a level ten Xuan Master, someone who could ascend at any moment, she couldn't withstand the demonic energy he possessed, which stemmed from his ancient divine body.
Once you come into contact with it, you'll basically end up with your body and soul scattered.
Wan Jiao hurriedly pulled out countless magical artifacts to try and defend herself, but then realized it was useless and decided to teleport away as the best option. Just then, a hand grasped her wrist; it was warm and reassuring.
She said, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
It is Lingyue.
She stood in front of Wan Jiao, using her divine body to block all the demonic energy that Runze was emanating from.
Runze's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. "Why?"
Lingyue did not answer Runze.
She gripped Wan Jiao's wrist even tighter, turning her head to gaze at Wan Jiao's small face with fascination: Heaven had indeed not lied to her.
Therefore... it was all worthwhile.
"Is the God-Slaying Array set up?" Ling Yue asked Wan Jiao.
Wan Jiao stared in astonishment at Ling Yue, the last god in this world, and after a long while, she finally uttered a soft "hmm".
Ling Yue: "I'll bring him into the formation, now it's up to you."
Wan Jiao frowned, wanting to ask Ling Yue something, but Ling Yue had already disappeared.
Runze disappeared along with her!
(Ahem, here comes the main course so soon (Wanwan's backstory)~~~~ Is it too much to ask for a five-star review?)
