Chapter 369 - 339: Strife Over the Past, Altering the Future, Moon Gods Sequence Lost!
CHAPTER 369: CHAPTER 339: STRIFE OVER THE PAST, ALTERING THE FUTURE, MOON GODS SEQUENCE LOST!
A sliver of silver light sliced through the night sky, darting out of the turbulent sea of murderous intent, akin to a massive ship riding the wind and waves through the rolling sea of clouds, leaving a trail of flickering light behind it.
On the Moon God’s chariot, a beautiful woman reclined against the tower, her moon-white dress fluttering, lightly brushing against the railing. Her exaggeratedly beautiful legs were exposed, and her delicate feet were shrouded in a layer of hazy moonlight.
Beside her, a slightly immature girl hid behind the beautiful woman, peeking out a small head, her eyes full of curiosity as she stared at the unfamiliar boy.
The two women looked similar, and the beautiful woman gave Chu Yi the impression of a married version of the Moon Princess.
"Madam, you don’t want your daughter to get hurt, do you?"
Upon seeing Lady Yue Rui for the first time, Chu Yi instinctively had this thought flash through his mind, nearly blurting it out, and was startled.
If it weren’t for the Divine Hand discerning cause and effect, correcting the mistake, and salvaging the situation in time, he would have truly spoken it, his roguish intentions laid bare.
In front of this powerful being of divine heritage.
Any thoughts, any intentions, hold no secrets whatsoever.
Which means.
Even a fleeting impure thought was perceived by Lady Yue Rui.
However, a layer of grey mist rose around, whispering quietly, intermittently, consumed violently before coming to an abrupt stop.
The probing-obscuring grey mist never left him, naturally covering more of Chu Yi’s secrets.
"Thankfully, I’m on the inside, with no ill intent, or I’d have been eliminated while approaching the chariot."
Chu Yi felt a lingering fear.
Though slightly amazed, he felt more apprehension.
The Radiant Moon governs cause and effect, along with world powers, making them very hard to kill.
Even targeted by the cause-and-effect kill setup of the three major Radiant Moons, she could counter-kill one of them. This beautiful woman certainly held hidden aces and showcased formidable deterrence.
Don’t overlook that the Moon God Royal Court in distress isn’t something trivial forces can meddle with.
"Madam, I am the future lord of the Royal Court, traveling to the past to uncover the truth of the Moon God Royal Court’s destruction."
Using the mimetic grey mist to obscure perception, Chu Yi casually revealed this.
Indeed, he really is the lord of the Royal Court.
Not to mention the Enchanting Demon Royal Court.
The Moon Princess is his fiancée, doesn’t that grant him the inheritance rights to the Moon God Royal Court?
However, he skipped the process of inheriting the Royal Court.
You say I’m fake?
Then just go to the future and see for yourself!
As for which future point, take your time to find out.
"Liar."
The young Moon Princess tilted her head skeptically, feeling this brother was speaking nonsense.
Traveling from the future to the past, being the future lord of the Royal Court, how could that be possible?
After all.
All Moon God descendants are offspring of gods, having the right to inherit the Royal Court.
And all Moon God descendants are female, no men could possibly exist.
"Mom, he hasn’t said a single true word, obviously a bad person."
The little girl tugged the skirt of Lady Yue Rui, staring at Chu Yi warily, her eyelashes fluttering, eyes filled with moonlight.
"It really is a mother-daughter relationship."
Chu Yi didn’t mind, instead focusing on the relationship between the two women.
If he hadn’t appeared, changed the past, Lady Yue Rui’s fate would be to perish alongside the Merfolk King, the Moon Princess suffering the loss of her mother, plunging into depression.
This way, the more changes made in the past, the greater the harm to the person behind the determined fate.
Lady Yue Rui didn’t respond, her beautiful eyes flickering with light, gazing at something above Chu Yi’s head.
For a long while.
Just as Chu Yi was considering how to benefit, Lady Yue Rui looked at Chu Yi, eyes blood-shot, tears of blood overflowing, sliding down her jade-like cheeks, her expression grave, even tinged with fear.
Such a Radiant Moon powerhouse, having faced many upheavals, a Moon God descendant under divine protection, was moved, showing that Chu Yi harbored a great terror even Radiant Moons feared, shaking Radiant Moon status!
Thud thud!
Silver hair danced wildly, each strand laced with moonlight, transforming into monstrous snakes of flesh and blood, tumors hanging, burrowing out countless ghastly pale claws, smashing nearby structures to dust.
"Mom! Are you okay? I’ll take you back to your room!"
The little girl took Lady Yue Rui’s hand, discovering her mutton fat jade-like hand had shed a layer of human skin, revealing bone, pale flesh twisted into flesh buds.
Boom!
This commotion caused smoke and clouds to rise in the Moon God’s chariot, billowing black smoke, from which emerged elegant silhouettes, each flower-like face like the moon, extraordinary beauty, but below their slender waists, a mist lingered.
Chu Yi recognized these as the Ghost Maids, once contracted by the Moon Princess, a type of Soul Pet Beast.
"Mistress!"
"Despicable human, what have you done to the Mistress!"
"Kill him!"
The Ghost Maids immediately switched to combat mode, each clad in armor, holding long spears, surrounding Chu Yi layer by layer, unleashing Dawn Star-level auras.
Chu Yi frowned, shaking the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
With just one move[Soul Restraint], eerie winds swept, a host of Ghost Maids were pressed to the ground by vast mighty power, each face pale as flowers, unable to move.
Subdued by one move, they did not plead for mercy, instead showing loyalty to their Mistress, brimming with fury.
"Enough."
Suppressing the nearly rampaging Radiant Moon status, Lady Yue Rui restored her beauty, her dress half-damaged from the prior deformity, revealing skin as beautiful as white jade.
As soon as she spoke, she released Chu Yi’s[Soul Restraint], the Ghost Maids regained mobility, immediately protecting Lady Yue Rui.
She closed her eyes, like a drowsy lotus, lashes drooping, half-reclining on the railing.
Already in a weak state, just for glimpsing the cause and effect Chu Yi bore, what she had barely unveiled shook her status, exceedingly perilous.
The Moon God Royal Court excels in divination, foreseeing fortune and misfortune.
And from behind Chu Yi, Lady Yue Rui witnessed indescribable deities, eerie and amalgamated, parasitizing on him.
Master of Grey Mist, God of Flesh and Blood, King of Deep Red, Madness Mountain Range...
And this, is merely the tip of the iceberg surfacing.
This youth from the future, entrusted with the jade by her daughter, is evidently a massive pollution source, a moving anomaly!
Someone like him would end up served on a platter, divided and consumed!
"I know your intentions."
Lady Yue Rui rubbed her brow, her gaze sweeping over Chu Yi, speaking in a manner only the two could understand:
"You travel to the past, little time is left, I’ll get straight to the point."
"You’ve been schemed against, caught in a vast web of cause and effect, this, I cannot help you with, neither can the Moon God Royal Court, this involves the past struggle."
She realized Chu Yi had been marked for fate, the person behind planning to consume him.
As her daughter’s future partner, concerning the Moon God Royal Court’s potential resurgence, she gave up plotting against Chu Yi.
Huh?
Chu Yi was surprised, showing an astonished expression.
I didn’t expect you to help me, some benefits would be fine.
Lady Yue Rui misunderstood Chu Yi’s expression as fear, considering he came and went in the past, saving her side.
After a moment’s hesitation, a pearl the size of a jade plate emerged smoothly.
Inside the pearl, originally brimming with moonlight, had all its light extinguished in slaying the Merfolk Queen, now dim and colorless.
