The red moon returns

Chapter 513 Frankness

Lynch was suspended in the void, surrounded by deep darkness.

There is no light, no sound, as if everything has returned to nothingness, and only the individual "I" still exists in the whole world.

With the experiences after the long river of time and the Silver Gate, Lynch did not panic. He relaxed his body and mind, floating quietly in the endless darkness, enjoying the rare tranquility since he traveled through time.

There was no idea how much time passed in the chaos, maybe it was a second, maybe it was billions of years. Immersed in it, Lynch was about to forget the concept of "I". But at this moment, the light tore through the chaos, and endless galaxies appeared, dotted the chaotic darkness into a starry night sky.

It seemed to be at the end of the distant universe, yet it seemed to be right in front of him. The bright stars began to move slowly as if pulled by some force, and in Lynch's eyes condensed into a human figure made up of starlight.

There was only an outline, but it was very vivid. It was the appearance of a lady, wearing an elegant long dress that trailed the ground, with long hair and a crown-like headband on her head. In her hand, she held a scepter surrounded by bright stars, looking at Lynch from afar in the night sky.

She just stood there quietly, without movement, without sound, and even her face could not be seen clearly, but a solemn majesty emanated from her body made of starlight, making people involuntarily feel an invisible pressure.

His heart was beating, his blood vessels were contracting, and the pressure was pressing on Lynch's heart, making him extremely nervous.

This was not like the fear one had felt when hearing Msisha's howl before. It was more like the smallness and fragility that people feel when they look up at the towering mountains or tall buildings. It made people bow their heads and offer her humility and respect.

At this moment, Lynch has realized that he is witnessing greatness, witnessing sublimity, witnessing... God.

Goddess of the night, Lord of the starlight, Queen of darkness, Master of mystery.

He holds exclusive authority over the night and the stars. He is the chief of the gods of the night in the mythological era and one of the three main gods who first awakened at the end of the Third Age.

The goddess of the night, Nyx.

The moment he realized this, a silent voice had already entered his mind along with a divine thought. The voice was cold and deep, just like the cold night.

"Lynch Leviev, follower of the Crimson Moon. Now I give you a chance to choose."

"Hmm?" The cold tone made Lynch's heart sink, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously, 'Neighbor, neighbor.'

However, there was a dead silence in my consciousness, and the expected sound of "I am here" never came.

"You don't have to shout, you pathetic mortal. You don't understand what you have done. The moment you stepped into my realm, you had already lost her forever. She shouldn't have woken up. This was not her world. Now I have helped her return to her dreamland. You don't have to think about her anymore. Now think about your own destiny." The voice became colder and colder, making people feel bone-chilled. "I don't like to embarrass mortals, so I am willing to give you a chance to choose. If you take the initiative to cut off your connection with her now, I can let you return to the world alive. Although you have lost the power to distort your soul, you can at least live to the end of your life. Otherwise, I can only erase you. Only in this way can I guarantee that she will not wake up again." The void fell into silence again. Lin Qi was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed, shaking his head and said:
"Aunt Nix, this game isn't fun at all. I admit, I was surprised she didn't respond to you. She said that she would be with me wherever I was, and that the connection between us couldn't be severed even by the gods. So if I hadn't just confirmed it with her, I might have believed it."

Lin Qi's tense body relaxed, and he said leisurely with a smile on his face:
"I have already decided to trust her, so I will not easily doubt her judgment. Since she thinks you are trustworthy to her, then you are trustworthy. You just use another method to prevent me from contacting her. I don't know what method, but I think you can't stop her, but you can interfere with me and make me feel that our connection has been cut off, such as making me have a dream in which I can't contact her. Oh, yes, I understand, you are the goddess of the night, and you probably also hold the power of sleep and dreams. It's too easy to make me dream. And the reason why I can directly sense the gods without being affected is because you are contacted by me through a layer of dreams."

A sneer quickly came to my mind: "You are very smart and calm, and you seem to trust your own judgment?"

"Of course, since I woke up, I have been able to survive until now. In addition to her support, it is my calmness and judgment that I believe I can continue to move forward with it."

"Whether your guess is true or not, she can't help you now. You still have to face the choice just now. You can take the initiative to cut off the connection with her and let her return to the dreamland to sleep, or I will help you cut off the connection and send you back to sleep together." The human figure formed by the starlight slowly turned and turned to face Lin Qi. The invisible pressure suddenly increased. "Although she told you that I have no ill will towards her, did she say what about me towards you? You can use your smart and calm mind to judge your fate."

"Are you serious, Aunt Nix?" Lynch suddenly put away the smile on his face and said seriously, "Do you really want me to die? No, my expression is wrong. I should say, do you really want me to die now?"

The sudden question silenced the cold voice, and the pressure from the Starlight Doll was also weakened.

"I definitely won't cut off contact with her, literally. I won't, and I don't want to. If you really want me to die now, hurry up. I'm in a hurry. It's getting late. I want to sleep tonight. No, I should be sleeping now. Forget it. Anyway, I bet you don't want me to die now, so I won't go through the formalities and just say it. In fact, I came to see you this time because I also want to talk to you alone. There are some things I don't want my neighbors to hear. I don't have any bad intentions, but I just don't want to hear them."

"Why do you bet so much?"

The cold voice softened instead, and an image made of starlight sat on the throne that appeared out of thin air, and a chair appeared behind Lynch.

Lin Qi was polite and sat on it directly. He lit his pipe and crossed his legs in a relaxed manner. After taking a few puffs, he sighed:

"I heard some forbidden knowledge this morning. It's very dangerous. Although I don't think too much, it's hard to control my thoughts. I still thought of some secrets about the Supreme. If I'm not mistaken, the process of your twelve main gods' resurrection is actually similar to what I'm experiencing now."

"..."

"Collecting divine power one by one, eventually becoming a legend, mastering all the powers that the fallen gods should have, and finally reaching the Supreme, right? But then what? Who is reaching the Supreme? Is it me who has gone through hardships, or the Supreme itself? And what will happen to me who has gone through hardships?"

"..."

"So you see, she said you had no ill will towards her, but not necessarily towards me. That's true. You just want me dead, but I'm also right to bet, not now, but at the end of the journey. Now that she's not here, we might as well be frank, am I right, Aunt Nix."
