Chapter 364 - 334: Six Paths Reincarnation Banner, Moon God Royal Court, Moon Princess!?
CHAPTER 364: CHAPTER 334: SIX PATHS REINCARNATION BANNER, MOON GOD ROYAL COURT, MOON PRINCESS!?
If he truly has his fate set, it means that no matter which treasure he selects, it is all part of the mastermind’s plan.
Is he himself also a puppet under control?
"The Royal Court is really cautious."
Chu Yi stared at the Radiant Moon-quality materials, the fervor in his eyes dissipating by more than half, his expression wavering in uncertainty, caught in a dilemma.
Who knows if there have been any manipulations on the materials?
If his real secret is exposed through this, it could cost him dearly.
The safest option is to give up the chance to choose actively and ask Nanaki to hand it over to him, playing it safe, even if it means acting deferentially.
He’s not like your typical sycophant; he can really ingratiate himself and still enjoy daily ice creams, flattering from all sorts of angles.
But is this also a fate set by someone from the Royal Court?
The Radiant Moon manipulates karma, controls everything behind the scenes, let alone the power to manipulate karma in the River of Time, altering the past and future, surpassing the ordinary Radiant Moon, even reaching legendary status!
His future is already set, no matter which path, it’s the fruit chosen for him by the other party.
Chu Yi pondered for a moment and couldn’t help but be surprised.
"Since when did I become so indecisive, hesitating at every step?"
"As long as I grow fast enough, even if my future is planned, what’s there to fear, under the law of karma, I’ve always been on the right path."
"If he dares to set the trap to raise fish, I dare to become a great white shark and break out to kill him."
"In fact, I should thank him for setting my karma, ensuring no surprises in the treasure selection process."
Thinking this through, Chu Yi didn’t find it so frightening.
Calming his mind, he mimicked the Master of Grey Mist, shielding himself from external probing.
In his mind, an eerie book emerged from chaotic shadows, a large pink eye blinked, and under Chu Yi’s mental influence, it slowly opened, revealing a page about the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
Immediately, bubbles wriggled, arranging into a series of evolution routes, a total of 27.

Out of the 27 routes, most are alternative lower-tier transformations, with few true evolutions.
However, the last one caught Chu Yi’s attention.
[Six Reincarnations Banner] (Hidden): To be developed...
Almost forgot, the evolution diagram is still a semi-finished product.
"It’s decided, it’s you!"
Chu Yi selected his target, then looked at the array of materials, preparing to craft a 4-star banquet dish, the core of Immortal Grade · Immortal Brew is the Radiant Moon material, its quality determines the success rate of the dish.
The human skin lay dormant, sliding across the flesh and blood body, as Chu Yi looked at one of the materials.
It was encased in a blue and white seashell, with a row of small golden moons floating at the edge, its exquisite appearance resembled a flawless piece of art, standing out among the abnormally shaped materials.
As he focused his will, a mark emerged, wrapping around Chu Yi’s figure, transforming into a wisp of wriggling color, drifting into the ancient time where the material resided.
The next moment.
Dim yellow light refracted, countless threads tangled, constructing a Life Chart, condensing a figure leisurely walking out.
"Master Chu Yi, in the treasure vault, I have three pieces of advice."
"One, one key might..."
Wherever he looked, golden light pervaded.
Heh heh heh!
The purpose of this trip is finally accomplished!
He glanced around, his gaze vaguely sweeping toward the direction where Chu Yi disappeared, and said:
"I need soul type materials, Radiant Moon quality, please let the treasure reveal itself."
...
Eternal night.
The night draped low, with dark clouds sprawling like mountains.
A scarlet moon descended, spilling crimson moonlight across the land, the gentle moonlight heavy as a mountain range, sinking the vast ocean, raising a massive waterspout.
The moonlight, like a spider’s web, extended dense silk threads, resembling wriggling tendrils, bursting with a colossal water column.
The cloud-sea roared violently, mixed with thunder and lightning, tearing through it a scarlet light streak against the night, revealing a grand palace, mostly in ruins, its structures losing luster, and corners ignited in flames.
The one commanding the Moon God’s chariot had a graceful and supple figure, rich and full, with a waist like a willow. The past night’s wind blew, stirring her white gown, highlighting her long and slender jade legs.
Her jade face was cool, with beauty marked by a solemn expression. She grabbed with a virtual hand, the Moon Authority erupted, and the scarlet moon suspended in the sky surged with tentacles and fleshy bulges, interwoven with myriad blood threads, carrying a fierce murderous intent, rushing toward the sea below.
Boom!
The ambushing mass of Merfolk was instantly dissolved in the moonlight, their blood and flesh essence merging into the scarlet moon, erupting in thousands of sharp rays like a descending rain.
However, the woman’s face did not relax but became more vigilant.
Above in the sky, the cloud-sea surged, three powerful presences emerged with a shocking water column, raising spears in their hands, fiercely throwing them.
Boom!
The water light was swift as if three spears piercing through the day, shot through the Moon God’s chariot, splashing widely, floating ice frost, its speed halted sharply, plummeting toward the sea, fluctuating like a roller coaster in mid-air.
If not for the woman’s control of gravity, the chariot would have been doomed to the ocean depths.
This was an ambush!
A divine struggle, the Moon God fell.
Without divine protection, the Divine Kingdom shattered, turning the Moon God Royal Court suddenly into a desired target.
A palace coup occurred, the Moon King was assassinated, citizens massacred, most of the Moon God’s descendants were killed or injured, the enemy would not allow a second Moon God to appear.
Thus, an affiliated force under them, three Merfolk Kings rebelled, leading forces to ambush the remaining Moon God’s bloodline.
Boom!
Both sides wielded Radiant Moon power, battling fiercely over this ocean, steam rising, heavy rain fell, the moonlight dim between the surging cloud-sea, swaying on the verge of collapse.
A briny sea breeze blew, twisting the void in one direction, a youth’s clothes were dampened by the ripples of time, his silhouette landing on a crimson shore.
All around, the corpses of Sea Demons summoned by Merfolk lay everywhere, blood seeping everywhere, the pungent smell of blood overwhelmingly foul.
"This material did not form from the corpse of a Radiant Moon, but rather... uh, born of the world?"
Chu Yi spread his palm, a conch haloed by a golden moon floated.
He scanned the surroundings, Clock Eye probing revealed the ground he stood on, was once where an Overlord-level Pet Beast, fell millennia ago.
But the residue bones devoured souls, only forming this Radiant Moon material due to today’s great battle, its Spiritual quality concealed, not easily perceived by strong beings, making it hard to extract.
But met by Chu Yi, a single extraction, simple and rough.
Moreover, the vast soul essence contained in this material is a great supplement for Chu Yi.
"First, elevate the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, create the easiest banquet dish."
Though Chu Yi enjoyed watching drama, he avoided getting involved in the major battle, finding himself in the past, he stood on a scarlet shore, time’s spray dampening his clothes.
Around him, Merfolk called forth a sea demon, its water blocked the battle from his attention.
Yet, this didn’t stop Chu Yi; from afar, he gazed ahead, Clock Eye probing, in a blink penetrating this vast sea, tearing through layers of cloud-sea, catching a glimpse of a dilapidated but familiar vehicle.
His expression grew unfamiliar.
He could see that esteemed lady with the ripe figure, but beside her, a girl of seven or eight, with skin as white as snow, her features bore a striking resemblance, especially those lively eyelashes.
Moon Princess!
Damn,
That’s his fiancée, his betrothed!?
What???
