Outside Of Time

Chapter 1108  Moon Offering

The change in the Moon Worship started from the battle between Crimson Goddess and Li Zihua after she became a god.

Perhaps the war between them hadnʼt ended as the world thought.

Perhaps this huge battle had shuttled through time and space since ancient times and had been carried out in a way that the world couldnʼt understand.

It spanned across countless years…

Only now did this battle come to an end.

The haze that had enveloped this large region for countless years also dissipated with the disappearance of the Red Moon Star.

As for where the Red Moon went?

Did Crimson Goddess really die?

Would Li Zihua appear again…

No one knew the answer, whether it be the outsiders, or the people who participated in this battle.

To the current living beings in the Moon Worship Region, the only thing they could be sure of was that this battle would become a legend that would be passed down by them generation after generation.

One could imagine that countless years later, the myriad races that were born in this large region would see traces of this battle in ancient records. They would learn that in the distant ages, the region they inhabited was once dominated by a curse.

They would also understand that this curse had been broken after the legendary battle ended.

If one day, the descendants who lived in this region were qualified to step into spacetime and return to this day, they would definitely be able to sense the changes in the entire Moon Worship Region after the Red Moon disappeared.

Everything began to revive.

Hope had descended.

In the long river of Sacrificial Yin that surrounded the region, the river water changed from red to clear. The bones that had been buried for countless years inside turned into silt and stopped churning.

Without the Red Moon Curse in the bloodline of all living beings, they no longer needed curse-resolving pills or curse subduing pills. Their footsteps were no longer restricted to this large region.

Freedom was returned to the living beings of the Moon Worship.

However, having endured the torment of countless epochs and borne the weight of despair, those who stood at the intersection of the old and the new era found it challenging to dispel the weariness that lingered in their bodies and minds, even amid the cheers and excitement.

They were very tired.

Moon Worship also needed to recuperate.

Hence, the heir walked out. With his status, he had to complete his duty and mission at this moment.

His cultivation was enough to bear the responsibility.

Under everyoneʼs expectations, the heir took over his fatherʼs former authority and became the Lord of the Moon Worship.

The heir had chosen the location of the new Moon Worship Palace in the Bitter Life Mountain Range. From now on, he would preside over this place and protect this region.

In the depths of the Moon Worship Palace, there was an ordinary apothecary.

There was no need to define this place. It would be connected to the legend because this apothecary was a part of the legend and also the beginning of the legend.

The owner of the apothecary wasnʼt the heir but a person named Xu Qing.

As for the ownership of the entire Moon Worship Region, the heir ultimately didnʼt choose to return it to the human race but instead declared it as an independent entity.

Moon Worshipʼs name didnʼt change either.

However, its meaning was completely different.

It was no longer worshiping but offering.

Offer the Red Moon!

This was a choice between the heir and his siblings and also the choice of all living beings in the Moon Offering Region. Princess Mingmei also had her own responsibilities.

She went to the northern icy plains, which was originally her fiefdom.

In the north, Princess Mingmei established an academic institution called the Beiming Palace. In the coming years, she would educate all living beings and offer everything she had to her people.

The fifth princess also had a mission.

She used her ability to repair the Moon Rebel Mirror. After it was pieced together again, it rose high and floated in the sky of the Moon Offering Region.

It became the sun.

As for herself, she chose to enter the Moon Rebel Mirror and meditate there forever, releasing her authority and light, allowing the Moon Offering Region to have sunlight from now on. All things were nourished and their vitality was flourishing.

The cultivators in the Moon Rebel Hall regained their freedom and could choose their own paths. A portion of them chose to remove their connection with the Moon Rebel Hall and return to their respective races to work hard for recovery.

There was also a portion who were willing to stay in the Moon Rebel Mirror and use their unlimited lives to become the Sunʼs guards.

The last part followed the heir to protect this home with him.

Old Eighthʼs choice was different from his siblings. His personality wasnʼt suitable for him to exist in a place for a long time. His previous imprisonment allowed him to make his own judgment about the changes in the outside world over the countless years.

Hence, he chose to wander around in the human world and left the Moon Offering Region. He wanted to take a good look at this familiar and unfamiliar Wanggu Continent.

As for Old Ninth… as the strongest among all his siblings, he walked into the Repentance Plain and walked to the side of the mountain of flesh formed by his fatherʼs flesh and blood.

In front of the lord of the forbidden zone, Old Ninth sat down cross-legged and didnʼt move at all.             

His divine sense covered the entire forbidden zone and also the Moon Offering Region. He was cultivating and searching for his fatherʼs previous path.

The matter in the Moon Offering Region came to an end.

As for the gains from the battle with Crimson Goddess, the people who participated in that battle made different gains and wouldnʼt tell others.

However, everyone was very satisfied with what they gained.

The Ancient Spirit Emperor didnʼt look for Xu Qing again. Clearly, He felt that He had gained a lot.

Moon Flame and Star Flame didnʼt appear again. They definitely thought that Their gains werenʼt small.

The heir and the others didnʼt say anything about this. However, looking at the results, they might have received something else from their father.

As for Xu Qing and the captain… On the surface, they were the ones who gained the least, obtaining only Crimson Goddessʼ clone, Zhang Siyun.

In order to obtain this benefit, they had paid a lot. Regardless of whether it was the effect of Xu Qingʼs authority over the Red Moon, the captainʼs many preparations in his previous life, or the Suns of Dawn.

All of this made this benefit seem in line with their cultivation allocations, but in terms of value, it appeared somewhat forced.

Hence, the captain found the heir and the others many times and put on a bitter expression. He even didnʼt hesitate to summon the Moon Flame High God, wanting an explanation. He even asked Xu Qing to talk with the Ancient Spirit Emperor and the clay fox.

He looked like someone whose salary had been with the landlord had defaulted on his salary.

However, the Moon Flame High God ignored him and the Ancient Spirit Emperor didnʼt respond at all.

As for the clay fox, Xu Qing gave up on communicating after some thought.

Only the heir and the others looked at the captain meaningfully, as though they knew what he had really gained.

If it was anyone else, they would probably feel a little awkward.

However, the captain didnʼt. He still asked for an explanation. In the end, he put on a resentful expression and left with a sigh.

When they arrived at a place with no one around, the captain quickly took out the remaining two pieces of the Sun of Dawn. He even got Xu Qing to take out the remaining one he had.

After that, he was still worried and spat out large mouthfuls of blood, sealing the surroundings and making Xu Qing unleash the authority of the Red Moon.

Although the Red Moon had disappeared, Xu Qingʼs authority… was still there!

Moreover, it was a little different from the past. As for the details, Xu Qing still needed to study it in detail before he could understand it.

However, no matter what, with the joint efforts of the two of them, there was finally an area where they could talk about the spoils.

”Little Qing, have you learned? We want outsiders to think we have gained very little, so they wonʼt be envious. Although gods are omniscient and omnipotent, when it involves beings at the stage of Crimson Goddess and Li Zihua, this omniscience and omnipotence will be suppressed.”

”Therefore, we have to complain and express that weʼve suffered a huge loss!”

The captain was radiant with joy and his face was filled with excitement.

Xu Qing immediately nodded. He naturally knew the captainʼs intentions. In reality, although he didnʼt know the specifics of the captainʼs gains this time, he had already made a rough judgment when he saw the captain blinking three times before.

”Little Qing, we have struck it rich!!” The captainʼs voice was trembling and his breathing was hurried. After saying this, he instinctively gazed around and lowered his voice.

”This time, our benefits arenʼt just Crimson Goddessʼ clone, Zhang Siyun. Thereʼs also this!”

As the captain spoke, he lifted his right hand and spread it out in front of Xu Qing, revealing three fingernails inside…

”Little Qing, do you comprehend what these are? These are the fingernails of Crimson Goddess. Anything that belongs to Her are supreme treasures. Itʼs much better than the fishbone weapons the elder man gave us. They canʼt be compared at all.”

The captain was excited.

”When we return, the old man will drool when he sees our harvest. Haha.”

Amidst the captainʼs smugness, his small eyes quickly glanced at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was expressionless. He glanced at the three small fingernails in the captainʼs hand and then lifted his head. His eyes were calm and he did not say a word.

The captain blinked and coughed.

”Little Qing, do you comprehend what the greatest joy in life is? Itʼs satisfaction. You have to learn from me on this point. Iʼm a person whoʼs especially easy to satisfy.”

”Think about it. Crimson Goddess is a high god. We successfully resolved the threat Crimson Goddess posed to us this time. This is our greatest harvest. Thereʼs additionally her clone. This harvest is also greater. The most important thing is these three large fingernails.”

”This is a treasure. However, Little Qing, youʼre my junior brother and I have to take care of you, so Iʼll give you two. One is enough for me.”

The captain gazed incomparably generous and gave Xu Qing two small fingernails. After that, he turned and was about to leave.

Xu Qingʼs expression was extremely calm from the start to the end. He took the two small fingernails and kept them. After that, he took out a bamboo slip and began to carve.

When the captain saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly arrived beside Xu Qing. His gaze landed on the bamboo slip and he saw Xu Qing carving his name…

Hence, he blinked and coughed.

”Junior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother is joking with you. Haha, quickly placed this bamboo slip away… Thereʼs no need, thereʼs no need.”

At this point, the captainʼs expression turned solemn and he spoke in a low voice.

”How can our true gains be these three fingernails? Itʼs…”

The captain lifted his right hand and spread it out again.

Three bubbles appeared in his palm. Each of them contained a finger that had formed from the fusion of feathers and flesh. Drenched in blood, they were vivid and eye-catching, exuding a powerful divine force.
