In Douluo Continent, my summoning of Naxi Da was exposed by the heavens.

Columbia recalls the scene of her first meeting with Arecino.

Arecino laughed and said, "Thank you for keeping this secret for me."

Many things related to the Crimson Moon remain unsolved, and I don't want people approaching me under the guise of research.

Arecino here most likely refers to that beast, the Doctor.

"Alright, time is limited. Whether you still have any questions or not, we should move on."

I'm checking the contents of Sandoni's letter again.

You can't contain the moon's essence, so you'll temporarily store it with me, right?

"Yes, this is the best compensation I can offer right now."

The Rainbow Moon is inherently connected to your origins, and storing the Moon Essence within you will further enhance your strength.

"Deal! Let's begin!"

Upon seeing this scene displayed in the sky, the Rainbow Moon Goddess Sanna Da's expression turned very unpleasant.

"Would I really throw myself into the abyss just to survive? No, I..."

At that moment, Aria walked over and gently hugged Sannada.

"Don't feel any psychological burden. Whatever happened, it's all in the past."

"Yes, it's more important than anything else that we sisters are together now."

"Thank you, sisters!"

"Silly girl, we sisters don't need to say thank you."

On the screen above, Paimon asked with some confusion.

"What does this place have to do with the Crimson Moon?"

"When I became an executive officer, the clown gave me a book called 'Perenelli,' also known as 'Herreberg in Love.'"

This book should be available in Fontainebleau; it tells a love story set during the Red Moon Dynasty.

Putting aside the love and hate of the characters in the book, it records a very interesting thing.

It is said that during the Red Moon period, the orphanage would accept children from outside the world and devise a special admission ceremony for them.

"A child from outside the world? An admission ceremony?"

Paimon was getting more and more confused, and so were the people watching the sky.

"The sages of the Crimson Moon hope to find beings beyond the gods from outside the world, but do not want them to be completely out of control, so they will give them a special baptism."

They made the collected children crawl through the fireplace vent, asking them, "Are you dead?" "Do you see?"

It wasn't until the children acknowledged their own death and saw a crimson moon that this continued.

The adults will embrace the child who has gone through the ceremony and tell them, "You have passed through the fire of the two worlds in the hearth of the wall, and now you are reborn here."

The language in the book is unclear, but I guess it might be a way to brand the collected children, ensuring they live forever under the glow of the red moon.

Others may not have understood what Arecino meant, but Columbia did.

"No wonder I can't sense the Moon Essence of Rainbow Moon in this world. It seems that it is sealed in a special space, and a ritual is required to enter it briefly."

"But we don't have a fireplace or a ventilation duct here. Are we going to build one from scratch? I'll go find some bricks..."

Paimon said naively.

"No need. The conduit is just a formality. What's important is 'passing through the fire of the two realms'—the fire of the two realms, which is the special flame within my body."

Those who are burned by this flame will leave behind a ghost-like afterimage in the world.

People in the Kanreia period believed it could connect the realms of life and death, hence the name.

In short, with my power, opening the door to that space for you will not be a problem.

However, I need to stay here to keep the passage open and cannot travel with you.

The rest of the journey is up to you.

"Okay, we understand."

Then, crimson flames erupted from Arecino's body as she chanted a spell.

"The seven-colored heroine of the past, the great mother of today—the one dressed in crimson, is the ruler of both realms."

"By fire it is severed, by fire it is restored. Through my offering, I humbly invite your arrival."

A black and red sphere rose up, and Arecino brandished her scythe, instantly creating a path of flames.

"How spectacular!"

Many viewers of the Sky Dome shared Paimon's sentiment.

Opening another space in such a spectacular way is something that ordinary Soul Masters in the Douluo Continent cannot do.

Even the angels sighed, realizing that if she were to truly face Arecino, she probably wouldn't be a match for her.

At this moment, Arecino, while maintaining the open gate, gave advice to the travelers and Columbia from the sky.

"I have only one piece of advice: as you enter through the gate, do not answer anything you hear."

"Okay, I've got it."

Paimon answered readily, while Columbia frowned.

"I can feel the ominous dark clouds inside, as well as the familiar moonlight."

It felt like going to meet a friend who's completely changed; let's go.

The travelers, Paimon and Columbia, walked along the path paved with flames and finally stepped into the red, spherical doorway.

After entering the gate, there was a strange red passage.

They kept walking forward, and at the same time they heard whispers.

"I have sensed your presence and have granted you death and new life."

"Wait, who are you... why are you..."

"I have no right to claim those who transcend the world, those who transcend fate..."

The traveler, Paimon, and Columbia heeded Arecino's advice and did not respond to the whispers.

Finally, they passed through the passage and entered the interior of the space, where they immediately saw the crimson moon hanging in the sky.

"Look at the sky, a red moon, this must be the place."

"This...this...is this the aura of the abyss? It's almost filled the entire space, what should we do?"

The abyssal aura permeating the surrounding space truly frightened Paimon.

The other one who was frightened was the Rainbow Moon Goddess Sanada.

Anyone would be horrified to see their own mangled corpse.

"Did I really end up like this? Hah, is this my punishment?"

"Sanada, don't think about anything, you still have us with you."

"Sister, waaaaah..."

Sannada then threw herself into Aria's arms and cried.

It's good to have a big, comforting embrace.

On the celestial screen, Colombia also uttered a sigh.

"What a pitiful sight! Part of the shattered corpse was captured by the abyss and hung high in the air, like a corpse that had been preserved."

Rainbow Moon...is this your wish?

"No! Heaper, this is absolutely not what I want!"

Sannata cried out in Aria's arms, but unfortunately, Columbia on the sky couldn't hear her.
