Chapter 1870 – The Silver Moon that Illuminates the World



Chapter 1870 – The Silver Moon that Illuminates the World

Rourou did not bother with Final, who was now incomparably shocked and furious. She looked at Qin Yu with a smile on her face.

“I have expended so much energy on you; do you think I would really let you die just like that? Furthermore, if you died, this world would just become uninteresting. I would be bored to death.

“Since I’m certain of all this…Qin Yu, I hope we meet again.”

She took one step forward.

Then, the silver moon burst into light which quietly fell onto the ground.

Under this moonlight, everything fell silent, as if all of the natural laws in this world had come to a pause.

Even Qin Yu, who was on the verge of collapsing and exploding, froze.

Except Final.

Only Final.

He was unaffected by this moonlight. His face twisted into an ugly expression, filled with shock, anger, and…hopelessness.

“Origin! Stop now!”

Final wanted to retreat. His body tensed up, the muscles on his face trembled, and his neck was now covered with veins.

Yet, all his efforts were in vain. He tried desperately to back up, but he was still being pulled away bit by bit.

It was as if there was an invisible black hole that had suddenly appeared and opened its huge mouth to swallow everything in its way. And it so happened that this black hole was targeted only towards Final…or, to put it in another way, only he was qualified enough to be detected by this black hole.

Under the silver moon, Rourou’s expression was calm. It seemed as if she was being soaked in the moonlight, but yet, at the same time, it was also as if she was a part of it to begin with. Her whole body was now giving out light.

She looked at Final, who had a frightened expression on his face and was struggling with all his might. Then, she glanced at Qin Yu who was stuck at a standstill.

She closed her eyes.

Rumble –

The silver moon became brighter and brighter. The dazzling light slowly drowned out her figure and it swallowed the struggling Final, who was unable to change his final outcome.

Both of them were born from the source of reincarnation and they were the greatest miracles that had happened in this world. After all, the two of them should not have existed from the beginning.

But even amongst miracles, one could choose to be active or passive.

Rourou chose to be active and take the initiative.

This initiative was not enough for her to gain the upper hand when facing Final, but it gave her the privilege to summon the end.

However, this privilege also meant that she needed to pay a heavy price.

By disintegrating and pulling Final into annihilation with her, they, who should not have been born in the first place, would be pulled back into the cycle of reincarnation.

At this moment, there was only one silver moon hanging in the skies above the millions of worlds that existed.

Everything came to a standstill.

The silver moon swallowed Origin and Final, becoming brighter and brighter. Its core looked like it suddenly came to life as it started to expand and contract, fluctuating and oscillating continuously.

These fluctuations made it look like it was searching for something. As they swept past Qin Yu’s body, they quickly spread to millions of worlds in a short amount of time.

There were countless living beings and existences in this world that were within the silver moon’s perception, but it seemed as if the silver moon did not manage to find someone that fulfilled its requirements. The fluctuations from the silver moon gradually dissipated until everything became calm once again.

Right at this moment, Qin Yu’s body started to glow. It was the power coming from Light Pagoda. As a being that came from the source of reincarnation, it had finally broken through the sealing power that had descended upon this place.

A blurry face appeared in the light. Its eyes were filled with wisdom as it said, “It has been countless years. This day has finally come. I’ve waited for this day for so long; I can’t wait to go home.” More light erupted from Qin Yu’s body. That silver moon that had fallen into silence started to surge violently again.

As if it had suddenly come alive, it came towards Qin Yu. It seemed to be traveling slowly but it was actually moving extremely fast. It swallowed Qin Yu within its light.

Origin and Final came from the source of reincarnation.

As they returned to chaos, the source of reincarnation was remolded and reshaped.

What followed was a new beginning, a new cycle of reincarnation.

This was the way the story was supposed to go.

And Qin Yu was the new main character of this story, the son of destiny.

However, the existence of Light Pagoda caused the whole story to deviate from the very beginning.

For example, the coexistence of life and death was being challenged.

With Light Pagoda’s interference, the source of reincarnation that was supposed to split into two to produce two life beings remained intact, and it was being continuously absorbed into Qin Yu’s body.

“Rourou…” Light Pagoda sounded hesitant.

It looked at the silver moon and could vaguely see Qin Yu, who was only now a small black dot, and sighed heavily.

“Her consciousness must remain. If she really goes, there would be a hole in Qin Yu’s heart.

“Whatever happens afterwards is up to him…”

Buzz –

As the light vibrated lightly, an illusion appeared. This illusion appeared to be protected by this light.

Perhaps because the light was too dazzling, no one could see through it as it would only cause their eyesight to become blurry and distorted.

The illusion that was being protected within the light could not be seen clearly. At one moment it had a certain appearance, and in the next moment, its appearance changed.

It seemed as if only an instant had passed, and at the same time, as if millions of years had passed. The silent world suddenly recovered.

The laws of nature began to turn and time started to flow once again. Billions of living beings that had entered a state of standstill resumed what they were doing.

“Ah!”

There was a shocked cry. Countless people looked up and their faces were filled with shock and anxiety.

There was a silver moon hanging high in the sky.

The entire world was bathed by the dazzling moonlight.

“The moon…such a huge moon!”

“What happened? Why did a moon suddenly appear?”

“Where are the suns? All of them are gone. What exactly happened?”

Everyone cried in shock.

Very quickly, one year passed.

The silver moon remained in its original state, silently hanging in the skies and shining its light on the whole world.

The millions of worlds also remained relatively unchanged, as if everything was the same as before.

After the anxiety and fear passed, people’s hearts gradually stabilized. Some people even began to try and understand this silver moon’s secrets.

However, very quickly, they realized that no matter how hard they tried, they were unable to get closer to it at all.

It hung high in the sky, within their sight, pouring down light on millions of worlds…but it could not be touched.

It was as if this silver moon was not there at all to begin with, belonging to a whole other world.

Three years passed.

The silver moon still remained unchanged.

People were no longer as eager to learn more about it, because no matter what methods they used, they were unable to get close to it.

And under this silver moon, the world remained completely safe.

Ten years later.

With the passing of time, people got used to the existence of the silver moon above their heads.

Desolate World.

Sky Cow Area, Sky Cow City.

Qin Seven raised her head to look at the silver moon. Her eyes were calm, but there was a trace of pain in her eyes.

“Qin Seven.”

Bull Bean walked over and called out to her, but after looking at her, Bull Bean did not know what to say.

After some hesitation, she said, “Do not worry too much. Brother Qin is extremely powerful; he will definitely be fine…”

She had already said similar words of consolation many times, so even she felt the powerlessness of her words.

But other than offering comforting words to Qin Seven, she really did not know what else she could say.

The scope of the battle that happened that year was truly large, but not many people were powerful enough to be involved in it or even witness it. As the years passed, the knowledge of what actually happened during that battle was lost.

It was a well-known fact that the silver moon in the sky was a product of what happened in that huge battle ten years ago.

However, no one knew the specifics of what had actually happened.

Qin Seven retracted her gaze from the moon and she smiled and said, “Yeah, I know that my older brother is fine…he must be okay.”

As she spoke, she glanced at the silver moon once again.

Bull Bean, too, glanced at the moon with helplessness in her eyes. “This damned moon. I’ve already pleaded with Old Ancestor many times to find out more about it, but he has not found anything. Otherwise, we might be able to learn something.”

Qin Seven thanked Bull Bean. As she stared at the moon, there was some hesitation in her eyes as she said slowly, “I don’t know why, but when I look at this silver moon, I feel somewhat close to it, as if someone is looking back at me.”

She bit her lip, shook her head, and added, “I must be imagining things. Yeah, there’s just no way.”

Bull Bean’s face stiffened as she hugged Qin Seven. “Brother Qin is so powerful. We both know that he will not just stay in the sky to look at you. He must have run off to another place and he is probably just temporarily unable to return.”

A hundred years later, the silver moon was still shining upon the world.

The existence of the nine Blazing Suns was just a legend to the new generations.

And now, there was a huge world war that was sweeping across the entire world.

With the shattering of the nine Blazing Suns, the nine Blazing Sun Owners were nowhere to be found. This meant that the seats of the most powerful people in the world were completely empty.

Undeniably, this led to restlessness in the entire world as they struggled to fill these seats.

In the first few years after the silver moon appeared, the situation was temporarily peaceful as no one dared to act out without making any preparations.

But after that, a vicious struggle for power and interests raged across the entire world. It seemed straightforward and direct, but this struggle for power was the source of all conflicts in this world.

Even Bull Dingtian was unable to sit out of it.

When the Blazing Sun Owners disappeared, the Longevity Species and True Kings became the strongest beings in this world. Even if Bull Dingtian wished to stay out of the power struggle, he was inevitably dragged into it against his will.

Outside Sky Cow City.

Four peak level True Kings were gathered there.

Perhaps the fall of the nine Blazing Suns had paved the way for people to advance their Great Daos. As the moonlight shone upon this world, in just a hundred years, the overall strength of cultivators had increased by leaps and bounds.

Many Half-Kings broke through to the True King realm.

Many True Kings also advanced easily, climbing to the peak of the True King realm, and some were even at the threshold of entering a higher realm.

This war that enveloped the whole world was indeed a struggle for power and interests, but that was not all. The True Kings that were involved in this war were risking everything to gain as many opportunities as they could to become the new supreme existences in this world, which would give them the power to rule over other beings.

They tried to pull Bull Dingtian over to their side last time, but it did not work. Since he could not be wooed, they could only eradicate him.

The reason for this was Qin Seven.

After that huge battle back then, Qin Yu had disappeared. However, before that, he had killed Emperor Qin in Xianyang and even managed to defeat Heavenly Center. This was proof of his ultimate strength.

His disappearance was likely related to that huge battle, and possibly even related to that imperceptible silver moon above their heads.

And Qin Seven was Qin Yu’s little sister.

If she was on their side, they would probably gain something from it.

Last time, they did not dare to have such a thought. However, a hundred years had already passed and it was highly probable that Qin Yu had passed away already. No matter how strong Bull Dingtian was, they were all peak True Kings. He would not be able to protect Qin Seven.

“Bull Dingtian, it is not too late for you to regret your decision!”

A True King yelled.

Rumble –

With a thought, it was as if a tsunami had been set off.

It was majestic and it surged violently.

The whole of Sky Cow City was now enveloped in raging gusts of wind and waves. It was as if it was a boat that was stuck out at sea in a violent storm that threatened to swallow it at any time.

Qin Seven looked apologetic as she bowed respectfully, “Senior Bull, it is all my fault. I can’t let you guys be involved in this.”

Bull Dingtian waved his hand, “Back then, Qin Yu entrusted you to me. It is only natural that I keep you safe.” He took a deep breath and ascended to the skies. “Bull Bean, take good care of Qin Seven. I’m going to chase them away.”

Bull Bean replied loudly, hugging Qin Seven, “Qin Seven, don’t be scared. Old Ancestor is very powerful. As long as he is around, there will be no problem.”

Qin Seven laughed bitterly. Of course she knew that Bull Dingtian was very powerful, but there were four peak True Kings gathered outside Sky Cow City!

“Qin Seven is here, indeed, but she is my guest. I definitely will not hand her over.”

Bull Dingtian’s low voice rang out throughout the city, like a huge axe that slashed down outside Sky Cow City, causing the place to tremble.

Boom –

He stepped forward.

“I am right here. If the four of you want to go against me, feel free to do so.”

The four True Kings frowned.

Bull Dingtian possessed tyrannical power. In a battle, he had no problem suppressing a few people, even though he was never involved in matters that happened outside of Sky Cow City.

Unless there was a real need to, these four True Kings did not wish to provoke such a powerful person either.

But, Qin Seven…

“Hmph! Since we’ve already taken action, are we really going to retreat at the last moment?” One of the True Kings scoffed.

He raised his hand and slammed it down heavily.

“If the four of us are unable to suppress Bull Dingtian today, we will become the laughingstock of the entire world, and if that’s the case, there will be no point in us talking about conquering the heavens and ushering in a new era!”

“What he says is right!”

“Since he is being stubborn, then there is no need for us to hold back!”

“Charge!”

The four True Kings attacked at the same time.

Rumble –

The skies darkened instantaneously and the bright, dazzling silver moon immediately became blurry. Only the remnants of its light could be seen, as if it was an eye that was looking down on everything in this place amongst the darkness.

Bull Dingtian cursed internally.

Even though he appeared to be confident on the surface, he knew very well that his opponents were all peak True Kings who were on the verge of breaking through. The difference between his power and theirs was very small.

If he was going against two opponents, he had confidence in his own methods.

But now, there were four peak True Kings fighting against him.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Bull Dingtian was already at a disadvantage. A brilliance erupted in his eyes as the skies were torn apart. A deafening rumbling sound like thousand lightning bolts descending erupted above Sky Cow City.

Bull Bean’s face turned pale.

Of course, she knew where this battle was heading.

Qin Seven took a deep breath and said, “Bull Bean, let me go.”

She knew that if this continued, she would only implicate Sky Cow City.

“No…” Bull Bean stretched her arm out, but Qin Seven avoided it.

In a serious tone, Qin Seven said, “The fact that Senior Bull has gone to such lengths to protect me is enough. If my brother knew about this, he would not blame you guys.

“I have a conscience. I can’t implicate all of you because of my stubbornness – that would be too selfish of me. Furthermore, just because they are looking for me, it does not mean that my life is in danger…who knows, maybe I might be able to find my brother’s whereabouts through them.”

Qin Seven sniffed before rushing into the skies.

“Stop!”

She yelled, and then the huge battle really stopped.

The four True Kings looked at her with a fiery gaze. They did not wish to accidentally hurt this brat who was possibly hiding huge secrets.

After all, she was Qin Yu’s sister!
