The red moon returns

Chapter 486 The Second Step on the Path to Immortality
Lynch realized that he was in the biggest trouble since he traveled through time.

It was just an unconscious roar, without any meaning and without any target, just like the beast king entrenched in the mountains, patrolling his territory.

However, the inherent pressure caused Lynch to have a strong resistance. It was the anger that naturally arises when the dignity of a superior is challenged.

Lynch didn't expect that he would have such an obvious reaction. This was the first time he felt the disharmony in his body since he traveled through time.

Even though it is only a spiritual body, it is still a replica of a mortal body. The mortal body trembles humbly under the pressure of a higher being, and the body instinctively wants to collapse and crawl. This is the nature of mortal creatures, just like a wild beast that has encountered a natural enemy and completely lost the ability to resist and escape, and lies limply waiting for death to come.

However, the soul of the time traveler was aroused with anger, and the experience and pride of being with gods all day long made it impossible for him to bow his head to an alien. If he was frightened to his knees by a roar, even he would look down on himself, and he would not be ashamed to call himself a time traveler. Behind him stood not only the Crimson Moon, but also the knowledge accumulated by his hometown over thousands of years of history. How could he bow his head like this?
So, Lynch stood there motionless for a while, his muscles all trembling slightly. The Yisi man in his mind seemed to say something, but Lynch had no time to listen carefully, he was experiencing a fierce battle.

The disharmony between body and soul was being detonated by the powerful pressure, and the two sides were caught in a fierce struggle. Should he follow his instinct and bow his head like a mortal, or should he follow the heart of a traverser and stand up straight? For Lin Qi, there was only one answer. This was never a problem. The only question was whether he could do it.

After all, this body is foreign, and there are too many mortal instincts left by the original owner remaining in it. It is not easy for Lin Qi to completely control it. He must completely eliminate the hidden dangers left by the original body and let the will of the traverser completely control this body.

And, it has to be now.

The body's instincts are constantly struggling, suppressing, panicking, and frightening. All kinds of negative emotions are attacking the consciousness from the body, trying to make the spirit succumb to the duties of a mortal and to the body's instincts.

But I refused.

There is only a difference between surrender and retreating: zero times and countless times. I must never retreat.

Lynch gripped the cane tightly, pressed it against his feet, and channeled all his willpower into his body, concentrating it on the muscles of his waist and legs. He used all his strength to straighten his legs and back, making his body stand as straight as a javelin.

You are already dead. I have used this body to get to this point. You are just a loser who succumbed to your fate. As a loser, your consciousness, your instincts, your weakness and humility, all of them should be obediently disappeared forever. Just watch, I will not be as weak as you.

Gritting his teeth and struggling to fight against the instinctive backlash, Lynch felt his body becoming increasingly blurry, his vision becoming increasingly distorted and black, but he still used all his will to support his body and refused to give in.

A gentle sigh came from his soul, and a red moon slowly rose in his consciousness, gently illuminating Lin Qi's dazed mind. However, Lin Qi suddenly shook his head:

'go back. '

Crimson Moon paused, becoming a little hesitant.

"This is my war, you are not allowed to interfere. I got through this time on your own, but there will be a next time, and I will win on my own."

The crimson full moon hesitated for a moment, then gradually faded away in my consciousness: [Hmm]

I have burned my boats and have no way out.

"Ow~~~"

Another wolf howl was heard, and this time the sound was getting closer. The sense of oppression was increasing exponentially. The almost tangible pressure weighed heavily on Lynch's heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. However, he gritted his teeth, resisted the resistance of his body, and slowly raised his legs.

At this moment, Lynch has realized that if he does not take this step, he will always have only a mortal heart and will never be able to achieve immortality. Only by abandoning the weakness and humility of mortals and truly regarding himself as a traveler on the road to immortality can he have the possibility of ascending to the supreme position.

Come on, my mortal instincts, let me show you the will of a time traveler. I fought to the last moment back then, and I won't bow my head now. This is my body, and my will is the only one. It's just instinct, so be honest!
The twisted legs and feet trembled and shook, but they insisted on moving forward bit by bit. Every move was torture, but once they took a step, they would never retreat. "Awoo~~"

There was another roar, this time it was very close. A huge shadow had emerged in the hazy blue light in the distance.

However, just as the shadow broke through the mist and appeared in the field of vision, Lynch's footsteps landed on the ground.

Snapped.

Supporting himself with his cane, his body still straight as a javelin, Lynch stood tall, facing the gradually clearer shadows with a smile on his face, endless joy welling up in his heart.

'I succeeded, I did not lose to my ego, I did not succumb to my mortal instincts.'

[Yes, Lin Qi, you have successfully taken the second step on the road to immortality. ]

'Just the second step?'

[Well, opening up the divine power is the first step. It is just finding the path to immortality. Only by abandoning the self-perception of being a mortal can you truly embark on the path to immortality and be qualified to move towards the highest. If you always regard yourself as a mortal, even if you have mastered all the divine power of the Red Moon, you are just a stronger mortal.]

'I seemed to have many opportunities before, to face Mordiggian, the Daughter of the Bloat, and even the Lake-Dweller Glaaki, but I missed them all. Even if I finally took action against them, I only borrowed your power instead of putting myself in an equal position, wasting those opportunities.'

[It's not your fault, and it's not too late now. Congratulations, my neighbor. This journey is heading towards a new world. I will be by your side with great anticipation and witness every scene with you.]

"As you wish, Ms. Luna, I will do my best to enjoy the scenery at the end with you."

【My pleasure】

The gentle voice was still lingering in his ears, and a huge black shadow had broken through the blue light fog and appeared in front of Lynch.

It was a giant wolf as big as a hill.

The grayish-white body was half real and half virtual, floating around, with sharp fangs and teeth shining brightly, and two eyes that were radiant, with pupils like whirlpools, as if a vast galaxy was hidden inside.

No wonder it was a wolf howling, it turned out to be a really giant wolf.

Lynch looked at his hands, then at the giant wolf that was getting tighter and tighter, and suddenly realized a problem.

No, why didn't it twist into a long spiral strip, but instead remain in the standard wolf form?
"It has maintained this form after being distorted by angular time. After it is freed from distortion, it will naturally change into another state, but I believe you don't want to see that." The voice of the Yis people came back into Lynch's mind, "You seemed a little abnormal just now, but fortunately you have recovered. This is Msisha, the Lord of Tindalos."

Lynch nodded secretly, no fear or timidity in his heart anymore. He smiled indifferently at the giant wolf that was already in front of him, took off his hat, bowed, and saluted gracefully.

"The messenger of the Yis people, the follower of the Crimson Moon, from the present world of Lynch Leviv, has come to keep the appointment."
