Outside Of Time

Chapter 1084 Guyue Ningyan

It started to rain.

This rain was like tears of blood, but its color wasn't red, it was golden.

Golden tears of blood fell from the sky and filled the entire Moon Worship Region.

However, it wasn't real.

The illusory rain seemed to have been tainted by the aura of the River of Time, so it seemed to be falling, but in reality, it might have landed in ancient times or in the future…

This was also caused by the specificity of the gods.

Few people in the Wanggu Continent could truly articulate the essence of existence like gods. This type of life form, transcending the current levels, inherently possessed indescribable characteristics.

Although the Divine Son had failed to break through, at a certain moment, he already possessed the characteristics of a god. Hence, his death naturally resulted in this type of blood rain of gods.

There was also a strong concept of sorrow that spread into the hearts of every lifeform in the blood rain.

It turned into a sentence.

"Everyone is intoxicated, but you alone are awake. Or everyone is awake, and you alone are intoxicated. Which one… is more pitiful?"

Xu Qing remained silent.

In his mind, not only did this voice echo, but the last sentence the divine son said to him before he died also echoed.

'Could my past be your future…'

These words were imprinted in Xu Qing's mind and permeated his soul.

After a long time, Xu Qing lifted his head and looked at the Red Moon Star in the sky.

Looking from here, the Red Moon Star occupied half of the sky, causing the entire world to turn red.

There was also a huge sense of oppression that enveloped the world with Its arrival. Even the illusory blood rain gradually blurred because of the arrival of the Red Moon Star.

The sky caved in and the Heavenly Dao had no choice but to retreat. All the rules and laws disintegrated with the appearance of the Red Moon Star.

It was the same for the ground due to the attraction force of the Red Moon. The mountains collapsed, the ground shattered, and the rivers flowed against the current, as though apocalypse had arrived.

"It is a little faster than expected. It will appear here in three days at most."

The captain stood beside Xu Qing and looked at the Red Moon Star. He licked his lips and then raised his hand to recall the nine artificial suns. As he played with them, he spoke in a low voice.

"As for what the fourth prince told you before he died, Junior Brother, there's no need to bother with it. You have to know that before some people die, they always like to say some mysterious words to make the world remember them."

"This habit is actually quite good. I'll do the same in the future. I've even thought of my lines. When I die in the future, I'll say… when the fragmented-face of the god in the sky opens Its eyes again, I'll return to see my junior brother."

"How is it? Isn't it cool? Doesn't it perfectly reflect our friendship? Haha, maybe it will trigger endless associations for those who hear it. Who knows, they might even think I'm the fragmented-face of the god," the captain winked at Xu Qing.

"I've also come up with a line for you. If you ever kick the bucket, remember to say in a deep voice just before you die, 'In the eleventh year of my senior brother's descent, I will return.'"

Xu Qing glanced at the captain.

"Eldest Senior Brother, thank you[1]."

"Haha, no need for thanks, we are friends." The captain was beaming with joy and laughed proudly.

"Then, Eldest Senior Brother, tell me about what it was like in the time of the Divine Son you went to." Xu Qing asked the question he wanted to ask earlier.

When the captain heard this, the smile on his face remained, but there was a hint of deeper meaning in his eyes as he spoke softly.

"Li Zihua slashed his divine fire before the fourth prince's third Nascent Soul Tribulation."

Xu Qing fell into deep thought.

"In other words, in the time you went to, Li Zihua was still a god!"

The captain nodded.

Xu Qing glanced at the captain and didn't ask further.

At that moment, with the death of the divine son, the expressions of the Moon Rebel cultivators were unprecedentedly excited. Even though the Red Moon Star had arrived, what happened today had never happened in the entire history of the Moon Worship Region.

The Red Moon Shrine was destroyed!

The high priest was sealed and the Divine Son had fallen. This represented hope!

Compared to the Moon Rebel cultivators, the Red Moon cultivators' breathing was hurried and endless emotions surged in their hearts.

The Red Moon could be seen when they lifted their heads.

However, to them, death could still descend at any time.

This was because after losing the high priest and Divine Son, in the coming three days before the Red Moon Star arrived here, the heir and the others were the supreme beings in the Moon Worship Region.

A single word could decide their life and death!

At that moment, in the sky, the heir was staring at the Red Moon Star with a solemn expression. Beside him, Princess Mingmei, the fifth princess, and Old Eighth looked the same.

Only Old Ninth was expressionless as he coldly looked at the Red Moon Star. A hint of killing intent rose from his body.

"We only have three days."

The heir retracted his gaze from the Red Moon Star and looked at Xu Qing and the captain.

"Now is a critical moment. Regardless of whether your Master is really arranging everything, I just want to ask, do you really have a way to revive my father?"

As soon as the heir spoke, his siblings all looked at the captain and Xu Qing.

When the captain heard this, he lifted his head and looked at the heir and the others, speaking proudly.

"Grandpas, grandmas, don't worry. I, Chen Erniu, never brag. If I say I can revive him, I will definitely be able to do it. However, I need your cooperation, such as casting spells and bleeding a little…"

The captain said this firmly without the slightest hesitation.

The heir and the others fell silent before looking at Xu Qing.

They instinctively didn't trust Chen Erniu's words. However, Xu Qing's relationship with them was different. He was half a disciple of them, so his words had different meanings.

Seeing this, the captain looked a little awkward. Hence, he looked at Xu Qing eagerly. He also understood in his heart that if he wanted the heir and the others to cooperate, it was better for Xu Qing to say one sentence instead of him saying a hundred.

Xu Qing didn't hesitate. He stared at the heir and the others and respectfully spoke.

"Seniors, since my senior brother said it can be done, I believe it can definitely be done!"

The heir fell silent. After a long time, he nodded.

"We'll cooperate fully in these three days. If it can't be done, Xu Qing… this old man will send you out of the Moon Worship Region. You can deal with the matters here when you have the ability to resolve them in the future."

"As for you… you will stay behind." The heir glanced at the captain and calmly spoke.

This difference in treatment made Erniu feel very helpless. However, he also knew that the feeling he gave off was too honest. When one was honest to the extreme, others would often think that he was unreliable.

'Sigh, being honest isn't my fault. It's my strength.'

The captain was indignant but his face revealed a fawning expression as he hurriedly spoke.

"Grandpa, I also want to accompany you guys here, but I can really revive the ruler. The process of revival requires the help of my junior brother and many of my preparations. I can't lack any of them.

"And the first step requires my junior brother's specialty!"

"Junior Brother, I need your curse subduing pill to cleanse all living beings in the Moon Worship Region and reduce their curse by at least 30%. What do you need to do this?"

The captain looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing thought about it and spoke in a low voice.

"I need the power of the Red Moon in their bodies."

Xu Qing pointed at the Red Moon cultivators below.

The expressions of all the Red Moon cultivators changed.

"I need the power of the Red Moon in their bodies to act as a medicinal catalyst and use the Moon Rebel Hall's artifact spirit's land as a pill furnace."

After Xu Qing finished speaking, the captain immediately looked at the heir.

The heir and the others didn't hesitate at all. They each raised their hands and pressed down on the ground with all their might. The pressure of five Soul Accumulation cultivators descended violently, enveloping all the Red Moon cultivators on the ground.

As a rumbling sound echoed and the ground trembled, the Red Moon cultivators here let out heart-rending cries. Their bodies trembled and they collapsed one after another. No matter what cultivation they had, they were unable to resist the five Soul Accumulation cultivators.

Blood was squeezed out of their shattered bodies, forming a sea of blood that rose into the air, heading straight for Xu Qing.

The experts among the Red Moon cultivators, such as the blood guards and the three ancient Red Moon cultivators, only lasted a little longer than others. In the end, they couldn't escape the calamity and quickly shattered into pieces. Everything in their bodies turned into blood and fused into the sea of blood.

This scene was like hell on earth but no one felt sympathy.

Xu Qing's expression was calm as he sensed the dense power of the Red Moon in the surrounding sea of blood. He lifted his right hand and pointed at the void. Immediately, the Moon Rebel Mirror showed up above him. As it flickered, the scene from back then in the place of the artifact spirit of the Moon Rebel Hall appeared in reality.

Xu Qing began to refine!

However, there was a difference. This time, he wasn't refining pills but refining a rain!

It was a rain that had the power to dispel curses that borrowed the power of the Moon Rebel Mirror to fuse into the minds of all living beings.

Very soon, the blood in the surroundings boiled. Under Xu Qing's refinement, everything inside changed. In the end, Xu Qing still ordered all the blood beasts here to fuse their blood. Finally, combined with his Red Moon Authority, a deep voice rang out.

"Curse subduing!"

His words seemed to carry out a certain law. The moment they echoed, the sea of blood in the surroundings exploded and rumbled, heading straight for the Moon Rebel Mirror.

After it was absorbed by the Moon Rebel Mirror, a blood-colored storm appeared in the minds of the remaining living beings in the Moon Worship Region.

In an instant, all living beings trembled. No matter what race it was or what cultivation they had, at this moment, the curse in everyone's bodies was like ice meeting boiling water.

It began to melt!

"Next is the second step. Grandpa, I require all of your bloodline as a guide to revive the ruler. Fuse your Soul Accumulation blood into the ruler's statue and revive his flesh and blood!"

The captain suddenly lifted his head and looked at the heir and the others.

The heir and his siblings looked at each other. After that, they closed their eyes and their forehead split open. Drops of blood that contained their life force and cultivation flew out and fused into the ruler's statue.

The blood fusion continued.

"Next is the third step. Gather the pure power of faith after all living beings' curses are lowered, converge it within the statue of the ruler, and awaken the ruler!"

The captain's body rose into the air. His hair was disheveled and his eyes revealed madness. He shouted and his voice entered the Moon Rebel Mirror, echoing in the minds of all living beings.

Very soon, motes of light flew up from the ground and passed through the void from all directions. After they appeared, they headed straight for the ruler's statue. After they entered the statue, the ruler's statue… trembled for the first time in countless years.

A large amount of dust scattered and the ground trembled.

However, that was all. The ruler's statue trembled and calmed down, not waking up.

The blood of the heir and the others was still flowing. Seeing this, they peeped at the captain.

The captain wasn't flustered at all. On the contrary, the madness in his eyes intensified as he roared at the Moon Rebel Mirror.

"Little Qing, assist me get Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu!"

Xu Qing nodded and immediately performed a series of hand seals. Immediately, the Moon Rebel Mirror shone. Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu, who were far away in the small apothecary in the Bitter Life Mountain Range, were forcefully teleported over by this regional treasure.

The moment they appeared, the two of them still had dazed expressions on their faces. After seeing everything in their surroundings clearly, Ning Yan gasped and Wu Jianwu cried out involuntarily.

"I wonder, with Grandpa overhead, who will shock the heavens with thunder?"

The captain glared and roared.

"Wu Jianwu, call out all your pets. Their bloodline comes from the ruler's close friend. Get them to kneel and summon together."

Your father is the current Human Emperor, right? Your surname is not Ning, it's Guyue! Go and kneel before the statue, worshiping in the identity of a descendant of the Ancient Sovereign that spans countless generations, summoning the ruler!"

Wu Jianwu was stunned for a moment. He didn't hesitate to summon his pets immediately. However, Ning Yan's expression changed drastically when he heard this. He was bewildered.

Xu Qing coldly looked over.

"Hurry up and do as he says!"

Ning Yan shrunk his head. He was afraid of the captain and still additional afraid of Xu Qing. Hence, he instinctively exposed a fawning expression and hurriedly nodded.

"Understood. I'll kneel now…"

[1] He is being sarcastic.
