After I stopped trying, a rich woman trained me into a demon emperor.

"I, the Emperor, may establish a lunar contract."

The Moon Emperor raised a finger, and patterns appeared on the surface of the silver moon.

"After the blood of sin is recovered, no action shall be taken against Zhou Ran or his military status within three days."

During the period when the Moon Path is open, I shall not change the destination.

This condition is fair enough.

Zhou Ran glanced at the inscription.

"The Moon Contract binds the Moon Emperor's essence."

"If you were to distribute the restored blood of sin to the other moon bodies, would the contract still be able to stop you?"

The moonlight around the silver throne paused for a moment.

The Moon Emperor still had a smile on his face, but his eyes turned cold.

"You saw me differentiate into my lunar form on White Tower Island, so it's not surprising that you know the Moon Contract has a flaw."

"I can add one more clause: all moon bodies governed by sinful blood must not interfere with the moon's path."

Zhou Ran shook his head.

"The blood of sin will not be returned."

The Moon Emperor gently tapped the armrest of the throne.

"You just conquered the sixth level of the Heavenly Realm, and your primordial spirit has only recovered to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm."

The Emperor's son has the complete decree to erase names, and the list of names in Jiangcheng may begin to disappear in three days.

To hold onto a portion of blood that isn't immediately needed, are you prepared to make Earth pay the price?

"If you could hold off the Emperor's son by yourself, you wouldn't have come here to ask me to take back the blood of sin."

Zhou Ran looked at the wound behind Yin Yue.

The wound was still bleeding, and with each surge of the moon tide, the projection would show subtle distortions.

"You know that the Emperor's son turned the Six Heavens into a screening field, and he can also see the causal anchor in advance."

"Since the imperial prince poses such a great threat, why don't you go and kill him yourself?"

A bloodthirsty smile played on his lips.

She was eager to know how the Moon Emperor planned to explain that he had always been hiding behind the Silver Moon.

The Moon Emperor did not avoid it.

"Because I want you to weaken each other."

She spoke frankly, saying it was just a perfectly normal transaction.

"The Emperor wants the Blue Star list, and you want to protect Jiangcheng."

There is no turning back between you. Once you destroy the Name Erasure Decree, the Imperial Prince will also lose a portion of his interdimensional authority.

"All I need to do is collect the results at the end."

Qin San gripped the Taihuang Black Blade.

"Since you're too lazy to even bother with concealment, what makes you think the Emperor will accept your conditions?"

The Moon Emperor glanced at Qin San.

"Because time is not on your side."

Below the silver moon projection, six layers of filtering array patterns lit up simultaneously.

The first layer was modified by Zhou Ran, but the second layer has already seeped into the edges of the unified military register.

Without the suppression of moonlight, those array patterns would recapture the names of the four domains within three days.

"Zhou Ran can refuse this emperor, and then spend three days searching for a non-existent path home."

By the time the prince finishes writing, he won't even know who the first group of people to disappear in Jiangcheng were.

Zhou Ran raised the Devouring Heaven Seal and peeled the silver moon projection from the Unified Army Register.

"I will build my own road."

A faint sneer appeared in the Moon Emperor's eyes.

"The divine messenger's cross-dimensional path has been disrupted by the causal anchor, and the bone-swallowing sound transmission array can only send out soul sounds."

If you want to connect the two broken paths within three days, you'll need at least one person who understands the lunar cycle to determine the final destination.

"There is indeed one in Jiangcheng."

Zhou Ran pressed his fingertip against the black pattern of the return path.

"But she won't negotiate with her own life for you."

The smile on the Moon Emperor's face vanished.

The silver moon projection began to shrink.

She was originally willing to exchange three days and the Moon Road for the Blood of Sin, only because Zhou Ran had taken over the Sixth Heaven.

Since Zhou Ran refused, he should be made to watch the list of Blue Stars be erased by the Emperor's son.

The silver moon is about to retreat back to the anchor.

A pale hand reached out from the depths of the moonlight.

That hand grasped the edge of the Moon Emperor's throne, opening up the projection that was about to close.

The Moon Emperor suddenly turned around.

Behind the silver moon, the woman's clear, cold voice pierced through the three-proof blockade and entered the Nine Nether City.

"Sister, did you even ask me before using me as a bargaining chip?"

A crack appeared in the silver moon behind the throne of the Moon Emperor.

The pale hand did not touch the sixth heaven; it only grasped the moonlight with a wisp of consciousness.

Even so, the entire Silver Moon cycle still experienced slight fluctuations.

The Moon Emperor looked behind him, and for the first time, an uncontrollable rage appeared in his silver eyes.

"Your physical body is still sealed in Jiangcheng, and the three certificates left by Meng Po have not been lifted."

"Who gave you permission to speak through the authority of this Emperor Yue?"

"This wisp of consciousness was separated from me voluntarily; it did not possess a body or steal a soul."

The three certificates restrict my past life, but they can't stop me from seeing whomever I want now.

Yue Zhao's figure slowly became clear from behind the moonlight.

She was still wearing the white clothes she wore before the ice was frozen, and the ends of her hair were covered with a thin layer of frost.

There was no complete crescent moon on her chest, only a void enveloped in silver light.

Her body was still encased in the ice of Jiangcheng.

This wisp of consciousness was able to cross boundaries because the Moon Emperor took the initiative to open the Silver Moon Projection and mentioned her lunar destiny.

The Moon Emperor used his sister as a bargaining chip, which also gave Yue Zhao a chance to respond.

Zhou Ran pressed down on the black pattern of the return path.

The heart and the disabled person's power in the door pattern light up at the same time.

The remnant power of the Heart Gate protects Yue Zhao's consciousness, while the remnant power of the Hand Gate separates the old decree left by the Moon Emperor deep within Yue's destiny.

The silver chains had just risen from beneath the throne when they were blocked behind Yue Zhao by two gate-like formations.

The Moon Emperor turned to Zhou Ran.

"If you continue to interfere, I can turn off the projection."

Without the support of the lunar path, her wisp of consciousness would be trapped between the two realms.

Zhou Ran did not retrieve the door pattern.

"If you could just shut her down, you wouldn't have asked who gave her permission to speak."

The Moon Emperor's gaze turned cold.

The three certificates that Yue Zhao possesses are still in effect.

According to the old lunar calendar, she should not have the right to borrow the moon.

The fact that she can now grasp the projection means that someone in Jiangcheng has provided her with three additional proofs from the outside.

Behind the silver moon, a beam of light from a white pagoda shone into the moonlit path.

Xu Youwei's voice came along with the rules of the Silver Eyes.

"The first piece of evidence is that Yue Zhao's physical body did not leave the Jiangcheng Ice Sealing Formation."

Her life fluctuations are still monitored by the White Tower; there has been no possession or replacement.

Another clear, cold voice followed closely behind.

Lin Qingxue used the black lines on the return path to fix the edge of the projection.

"Second proof: This wisp of consciousness was released voluntarily by Yue Zhao."

The White Tower detected no trace of the Moon Emperor's forced awakening, nor any contamination of the Emperor's Child's rules.

Chen Ya spoke last.

In front of her lay a new cross-disciplinary record, every word of which was locked by White Tower's permissions.

"The third piece of evidence is that during the period when Yue Zhao borrowed the moon, he did not accept the old moon's decree and did not inherit the moon emperor's authority."

Every word she uttered was archived by Jiang Cheng; any external modifications would leave a trace.

The three proofs complete the closure.

The restriction that Meng Po left in Yue Zhao's soul did not attack her; instead, it formed a gray barrier outside the moonlight.

The Moon Emperor lost the power to directly command Yue Zhao.

Huan Yin looked at the three permissions behind the silver moon, a hint of interest appearing in her eyes.

"You used Yuelu to threaten Zhou Ran, but Jiangcheng has already used your route to complete the Three Certificates Soul Protection."

It seems the Moon Emperor's sister isn't as obedient as you thought.

The Moon Emperor ignored Huanyin.

She stared at Yue Zhao, her tone even colder than before.

"Do you know what price you will pay for sending a wisp of your consciousness to Zhou Ran?"

Every breath that the Jiangcheng Icebound Formation maintains consumes your Moon Life.

If you fix the endpoint for his crossover, he won't even last three days.
