Spiritual energy resurgence? My former empress wife has also revived!

On the moon, in another, even more ancient and wild place, devoid of any refinement, only a rugged palace stands out.

A woman, also dressed in moon-colored robes, sat regally on the throne forged from moon sand.

The woman was much taller than most people could imagine; if she stood up, she would be five or six meters tall, like a giant.

But if you look up and examine her features, you'll find that this woman has no face at all; it's smooth, like a full moon, exuding an eerie yet indescribable majesty.

At this moment, the moon goddess from the ancient times is communicating with His people through the connection of the Great Dao.

"My Lord, I will use this power you lent me to kill her."

"We will correct all the mistakes and steer the road in the right direction."

"We are the manifestation of the Dao, we are the embodiment of the Dao, we are the Great Dao itself!"

"Those mortals who stole the Great Dao will surely repay the heavenly secrets they seized and return to our rule!"

The conversation between the ancient moon goddess and the human ended.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the petite figure approaching.

Wang Shu walked through the rugged palace with her head held high, eyes fixed straight ahead, and an air of unwavering confidence.

Looking at the palace, which had no details and was simply built of bricks and stones, Wang Shu showed a disdainful expression.

Hmph, a bunch of old fogies with no aesthetic sense, living in such a dilapidated palace. I bet the only people who worship you are a bunch of savages!

Wang Shu, who lived during the Xiandao era, felt that such buildings, which had only basic structure and no aesthetic appeal, were barbaric and backward.

However, she also had a great curiosity about these ancient gods.

Even as an ancient deity, she had never seen any deities from the primordial era.

When the ancient gods were born, the gods of the primordial era had already disappeared.

No one knows what happened. Perhaps it was a great battle, or perhaps it was the death of an old god. In any case, the ancient gods of the past have long since disappeared into the long river of history.

All that remains in the ancient heavens are the relics left by these oldest gods.

Unexpectedly, after experiencing this miraculous reincarnation, I was able to meet these old guys.

Upon entering the palace, Wang Shu finally saw that ancient being who, like herself, bore the name of the Moon Goddess.

Wang Shu felt a chill run down her spine the moment she saw Him.

The other person was tall, like a giant, but Wang Shu didn't feel anything about such a height.

In ancient times, there were many terrifying, naturally occurring monsters, much larger than this giant.

What made Wang Shu feel a chill was that eerie feeling.

The giant in front of them appeared to be humanoid, but its body proportions were completely illogical, especially its face without features, which was truly unsettling.

If Wang Shu had read certain books on Earth, she would have known that this is actually the "uncanny valley effect".

When the lifelike representation of a human figure is close to that of a human but has subtle differences, the observer may feel disgust or fear.

However, if the object doesn't resemble a human at all, then there won't be that instinctive aversion.

Ancient gods were born similar to humans, so Wang Shu felt an instinctive revulsion towards these humanoid creatures from the ancient times.

The ancient god sitting on the throne was indifferent to the disgust in Wang Shu's eyes. He had no facial features, so no one could see his eyes, and therefore could not understand his emotions through the window of his soul.

Emotions such as joy and disgust cannot be perceived by this humanoid creature.

He spoke slowly, his tone devoid of any emotional fluctuation, only a deep, distant quality and a chilling indifference: "Moon Goddess Wangshu, my child, you have finally come."

"Child, you said I'm your child?"

As soon as Wang Shu arrived, she was startled by the words of the ancient god, her beautiful eyes widening in disbelief.

Do I really have parents?

But I was supposed to be born and raised in nature!

A humanoid creature, resembling a woman from ancient times, coldly stated, "You were born from my corpse; my corpse is my body. Aren't you my child?"

"You're saying I was born from your corpse?"

Wang Shu was at a loss, and said in astonishment, "But I was clearly born on the Taiyin Star..."

"Wait, are you the Moon Star?! The Moon Star is your body?!"

Wang Shu opened her mouth wide, suddenly understanding the meaning behind the words of this ancient deity.

Wangshu is the moon goddess because she was born from the Taiyin star and has symbolized the Taiyin star from the beginning, possessing the power of Taiyin.

However, this does not mean that Wangshu is the moon itself.

The Moon is a real entity, not Wang Shu's body.

If what this ancient deity said is true, then He is the Moon Star itself, and the Moon Star is His body.

Compared to this ancient being, her title of Moon Goddess is truly undeserved.

He was right when he said they were his parents!

Seeing Wang Shu's ever-changing expression, the ancient moon goddess continued, "It seems you have finally come to understand our existence."

"We are the embodiment of the Tao, the manifestation of the Great Tao. We are heaven, we are earth, we are mountains, we are rivers!"

"The earth on which you creatures stand, the resources upon which you depend for survival, are our bodies, the remains of our corpses."

"We are the Tao!"

Wang Shu's face suddenly turned pale; she understood the true identities of these ancient gods.

They are truly the manifestation of the Great Dao; they constitute the world itself!

The gods of mountains and rivers died and transformed into mountains and rivers.

The river god died and became the river.

After the god of the moon died, he became the Taiyin star.

After the god of the sun died, he became the sun star.

The ancient moon goddess noticed Wang Shu's emotional change and slowly spoke:

"We are more complex than you realize."

"The god of thunder died and became thunder."

"War came into being only after the god of war died."

"Now, Wangshu, do you understand? We are the Great Dao itself, so how can you contend with it?"

Fear began to grow in Wang Shu's heart.

She never imagined that the so-called ancient gods would be such a thing!

She was conceived by the Moon, and thus gained the authority to rule over the Moon.

But this ancient deity is the Moon Star itself.

In my mastery of the Moon, how can I compare to Him?

Hmm? Something seems off.

Why should I compete with Him in mastering the Moon?

If I were still the moon goddess from the ancient times, then my life and death would indeed be in His hands.

But I am no longer an ordinary moon goddess. I have been reincarnated once, and in that reincarnation, I cultivated the righteous methods of the immortal path.

I am not only the moon goddess, but also a Taoist practitioner!

Wang Shu suddenly raised her head and stared intently at the ancient monster in front of her.

She came to the conclusion that I was better than her!

I am the sixth exterior shot; He is merely the second refining mirror.

I could crush him with just one finger!

At that moment, Wang Shu wanted to burst into laughter.

O(∩_∩)O

I almost fell for your trick, you old man! I don't need to fight you as the Moon Goddess at all; I should fight you as a cultivator!

Once fear subsided, intelligence took over.

Wang Shu felt even more doubtful. She calmly asked, "Since you old things have already transformed into heaven and earth, it means you are already dead."

"Now that you've crawled out of your coffins and come back to life, what obsession has brought you back to life?"

"Are you unwilling to die and become one with the world, so you lived a second life?"

Wang Shu's thoughts are only natural; no one wants to die, especially not to pave the way for those who come after.

To everyone's surprise, the ancient deity shook its head and said, "We have no resentment, nor do we have thoughts like yours."

"We transformed the world with our death, and from our corpses you 'gods' were born."

"Even if we allow living beings to evolve on our corpses, it will not make us resentful, nor will it cause us pain."

"All of this is the 'Tao'. Our evolution of heaven and earth is the Tao, and we do it willingly."

Wang Shu asked in bewilderment, "Then why did you all come back to life? Was it just a coincidence?"

The ancient moon goddess shook her head again: "Why have we been resurrected? It is because the 'Tao' has gone wrong."

"You have lost the 'Great Way,' allowing it to be stolen by others. It is your incompetence that has enabled us to revive again, so that we can reclaim the Great Way and re-evolve."

"Us?" Wang Shu blinked.

Who exactly does this "we" refer to?

The ancient moon goddess directly stated the answer: "Naturally, it is you who call yourselves 'ancient gods'."

"You are our descendants, our successors, and you should follow the 'Tao'."

"But you have lost the Way, you have made a mistake, you are sinners, and you should atone for your sins."

Wang Shu tentatively asked, "Then how can I atone for my sins?"

The Primordial Moon Goddess slowly said, "I return everything to you!"

Wang Shu's expression suddenly changed. "You've said so much, but all you're trying to do is tell me to die!"

She snorted coldly, raised her chin, and said arrogantly, "You old codger who should be swept into his grave is truly shameless. Let the Moon Goddess personally deal with you right here!"

It seemed the ancient moon goddess had long anticipated that Wangshu would not surrender easily.

He suddenly stood up, and standing on the high platform, his tall figure looked down at Wang Shu.

"Since you refuse to atone for your sins, then I will personally judge you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his aura underwent a tremendous change, and his power surged.

To Wang Shu's astonishment, this ancient deity's realm rapidly advanced: Qi Refining Realm, Body Cultivation Realm, Inner Core Realm, Inner Landscape Realm, and Outer Landscape Realm!

In the blink of an eye, His strength became comparable to Wang Shu's.

What shocked Wang Shu even more was that her connection with the Taiyin star was completely severed.

Her symbol was taken away by this ancient god!

That was Wang Shu's biggest trump card.

Having both the strength of a cultivator and the authority of the Moon Goddess, Wang Shu believed herself to be invincible in her realm. That's why she cooperated with the Empress Jiang and was even willing to travel to Earth in her true form.

Because she wasn't afraid of the empress!

But now, his biggest trump card has been taken away and has become the opponent's trump card instead.

The speed of this change was truly unexpected.

As if that wasn't enough, the ancient moon goddess said calmly, "In our time, no other living beings existed, and our power did not come from faith, but directly from the 'Tao'."

"You ancient gods, born of faith, this is indeed a convenient ability."

"In essence, we are all manifestations of the Tao, and there is no difference between us. Therefore, after being reborn, we have also learned the same methods you use of faith."

"My faith comes from the devotion of humanity throughout the long river of time. How can your faith, gained in just two months, compare to my two hundred years of experience!"

His words translate to: I have taken away your trump card. We are at the same level, but I have more endurance than you. Your faith will soon run out, while mine is inexhaustible.

How do you win?

Wang Shu's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

Her confidence stemmed from her overwhelming superiority in terms of understanding and experience.

Training your energy on location? That's easy, isn't it?

But as the ancient moon goddess said, Wang Shu's faith was only available for a short time, and she could not maintain her strength at the Outer Realm for long.

Now that she has no trump card left, isn't she doomed?

Waaaaah, you cheated! You used hacks!

O(╥﹏╥)o

Having gained a lot of modern knowledge from communicating with Earthlings during this period, Wang Shu now only wants to say one thing: I want to report you and ban your account!

at this time,

In the moon palace, where there should have been no third person, a voice as high and clear as the heavens suddenly rang out: "Ancient gods? How interesting. Your existence truly delights me."

Wang Shu subconsciously turned her head away.

then,

She saw that unforgettable figure.

A long, dark robe trailed on the ground, and a bronze mask stood out mysteriously.

Wang Shu subconsciously covered her slender and beautiful neck with her hand, as if her head was about to be separated from her body at any moment.

A greater fear than that of seeing the Primordial Moon Goddess arose in my heart.

Wang Shu staggered backward uncontrollably, her terrified scream almost piercing the moon palace sky:

"The Primordial Great Luo Heaven?! How come you didn't become an immortal?!"
