The red moon returns

Chapter 515: Hongyue's Path

"She didn't tell you?"

"Yes, she said that she would have a satisfactory result and I don't need to worry about her, but I don't believe it, so I want to verify it with you. In fact, I haven't made up my mind to ask you for confirmation, but since you are willing to test me for her, I feel relieved."

"You just said that if you believe in her, you won't be so inconsistent. Don't you think you're being contradictory?"

"These are two different things, and there is no contradiction at all." Lin Qi frowned and urged, "I have read the memories. She has already led the sacrifice once in the mythological era. She has a criminal record. I am afraid that she will become addicted and want to do it again."

"Are you worried about her?"

"Of course, she's my neighbor. She's been with me for who knows how many years. I still have to curl up in her moonlight to fall asleep. You say I'm worried..." Lin Qi suddenly paused and coughed dryly, "No, I mean I don't like seeing people sacrifice for me. I'm not qualified to comment on acts of sacrificing for the whole world, but if they sacrifice for me, I'll owe them a favor that's hard to repay. This is not the result I want to see."

"..." A faint sigh came from his consciousness. Lin Qi seemed to see the dignified queen's expression sad. "When you activate all the divine powers, the supreme will in the divine powers will be integrated into one, forming a complete sacred will, also called divinity. At this time, the residual seeds of will that we left in the divinity will be activated. With this as a guide, our dormant memories in the dreamland will directly awaken from the divinity and occupy your existence. But for us, this process is controllable, and we can choose not to wake up."

"Ok?"

"In this way, you can indeed take over the divine power that originally belonged to us and revive us to become the new Supreme Being. But without this last connection, we will forever remain in the depths of the Dreamland, falling into an eternal sleep and never waking up again."

"Is there no third way?"

"Maybe, but I don't know."

Lin Qi bit his cigarette holder and fell silent. The woman made of starlight also stopped talking and faced him from afar across the galaxy. It was not until the bag of tobacco was burned that Lin Qi pinched his brow and sighed, "I kind of regret it, Aunt Nix. If I hadn't chosen this path, she wouldn't have had a chance to revive, but she wouldn't have fallen asleep forever. What about now? If we cut off the connection between us now, can we really let her return to the dreamland and sleep temporarily?"

"It seems that you are really worried about her. I am already very satisfied that you can have this idea, but unfortunately, you can't. Moreover, in the end, whether she wakes up or not is up to her, and you can't stop her."

Lynch lit up another handful of tobacco with an expressionless face.

"However, I don't recommend you to think about how to stop her now. It's too early."

"Ok?"

The hand that lit the fire stopped in the air, and Lynch stared at the lady made of starlight with a focused expression.

"The silver moon is bright and flawless, and is a guide in the dark night. The scarlet moon is hazy and mysterious, and is a protector in the dark night. The creatures of the First Age regarded the back of the scarlet moon as the entrance connecting the Dreamland and the real world, and the scarlet moon itself was gradually endowed by faith as a defender who guards the Dreamland and prevents mysterious invasions. This is her priesthood and the basis of her existence, which cannot be changed. Influenced by this, she takes it as her responsibility to fight against the Dreamland and protect the world, and inevitably has the spirit of self-sacrifice that is common among protectors. I am not surprised that she would make such a promise to you, so I believed it as soon as you said it."

"but?"

"But I know her better than you. She is different from Fiona. Fiona might really sacrifice herself for this, but Luna is rational. Most of the time, she knows what she is doing and what price she has to pay."

"Including taking the lead in self-sacrifice to fight against the erosion of the Dreamland?" "You even know about the erosion of the Dreamland?" Goddess Nix paused, "Yes, including that time. She is kind, but not crazy. She still retains the most basic rationality. In fact, it was indeed the last moment at that time. The whole world was on the verge of being swallowed by the Dreamland. Once that happened, the world might not be affected, but there would not be many living beings left. In that case, we... um..."

"No need to explain this, I can probably understand it."

"You can even do this...Okay, I understand. Anyway, there is still a glimmer of hope according to Luna's suggestion. If you don't accept her suggestion, destruction will be the only outcome. Otherwise, why do you think all the gods agreed? Because it is the only way out."

Lin Qi nodded: "I take back what I said just now."

"Well, so even if she sacrifices herself, she will remain calm and will not commit unnecessary self-destruction. She made this promise to you because it may be the only or best way out. But it is also possible that she really has another way out, but it is not convenient for others to know it now."

"Just someone else?"

"It's the same with other gods." The old lady's voice was a little more unpleasant, as if she was glaring at him, "When I'm in contact with her, I will help you spy, but you don't have to hold out too much hope. She may not tell me. And you don't have to worry too much. Since you choose to believe in Luna, why not keep going and believe that she has really found a solution. Even if it turns out that she is just making excuses in the end, it will still be in time to find a solution then."

Lin Qi nodded, and suddenly slapped his forehead: "By the way, thank you. If it weren't for your believer providing her memories when I just woke up, I would not have been able to hold on until now."

"That's for the carrier she chose, not for you."

Lin Qi grinned and said with a smile: "See, I just said that a favor is a favor. The key to whether I am grateful or not is whether I have benefited from it. As for the purpose of your favor, that is your business and has nothing to do with me."

"...It's up to you." The old lady snorted coldly, "I will talk to them and ask them to cooperate with you. So, what else do you want?"

Hiss, why did this old lady start to chase people away just as the deal was concluded? She is so heartless.

Lin Qi thought for a moment, and instinctively lowered his voice and asked, "Auntie, tell me the truth, the one behind the Shadow Alliance is not you, right? If it's you, just tell me directly, and I will defect and surrender immediately, there's no need to go through so much trouble."

"??? Or I'd better let you stay in the dream forever, so that you won't betray me later." Lynch found that the chair under him suddenly disappeared, and he almost sat on the ground. He was so scared that he quickly showed an honest smile and listened to the old lady saying, "It's not me, and I'm sure it's not Fiona. The possibility of Mika (Joy Girl) is also very small. She doesn't have this interest. It's hard to say about the other nine. Gods cannot spy on each other, otherwise it will be a declaration of war."

"Then do you know why he did this?" Lynch asked tentatively, "He suffered heavy losses to protect the world, why would he actively trigger a catastrophe to destroy the world? I don't understand."

"It may not be to destroy the world. It may have other purposes. I'll keep an eye on it later. If I find anything, I'll let you know."

“Thank you, Aunt Nix.” Lin Qi immediately stood with his hands down respectfully, as serious as an elder, and said with a smile, “Please take care of me in the future.”

"Forget about taking care of me. Let's talk about something else." The goddess said grimly, "What does old aunt mean in your language?"

Eh?
