Chapter 538: Chapter 553: Monarch of the Clouds
"Moon Lord? I didn’t expect you to fit this identity; it’s quite rare."
The man in white had a slightly surprised look in his eyes.
Aside from the half-moon emblem on his mask, Baiyu was also clad in a moon-colored long robe, adorned with numerous white clouds.
No need to replace it.
The robe automatically fell onto his body.
In an instant.
Baiyu’s aura changed, his whole demeanor exuding a distant, indifferent, and cool feel.
"In the Divine Court, there are eight Lords."
"They are Heaven, Earth, Human, Sun, Moon, Yin, Yang, and the Four Seasons."
"Among them, the Lords of Four Seasons, Yang, and Moon are vacant."
"It’s an unexpected delight to find a home for the Moon Lord today."
The man in white explained again.
Although the man in black wore a mask, the subtle movements of his body indicated surprise.
"So, from now on, my identity within the Divine Court is the Moon Lord?"
Baiyu confirmed once more.
The two nodded.
The man in black said, "Bai San and I are ’Impermanence’.
This is the most common identity in the Divine Court and its servants.
Since you have become an official member of the Divine Court, you may freely command us in the future.
If you have any uncertainties, you can also consult us."
Baiyu felt moved.
It seems.
Impermanence is a rank lower than the official members within the Divine Court.
They are akin to servants or guards.
Baiyu naturally had many questions.
For example, he was quite puzzled by the choice of identity earlier.
According to the words of Black and White Impermanence.
Heaven, Earth, Human, Sun, Moon, Yin, Yang, Four Seasons are the Eight Gods of Qi Region.
And they have no connection with the gods of Chu Region.
Plus, Black and White Impermanence are part of the Underworld’s operational system; in the Chu Region, the god controlling life and death is Lesser Siming.
Though this place is called the Divine Court, in reality, it feels more like a mishmash.
"Let’s first escort the Moon Lord into the Divine Court; this gathering is quite large, with many having come specifically."
Black and White Impermanence said.
The three stepped through the palace gate.
Strange flowers grew around, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, competing in vibrant colors.
The ground was paved with smooth marble tiles.
One tile after another, extremely neat.
Aside from these.
On both sides of the flower beds, row after row of sculptures were carved, almost all humanoid.
"This is Statues Avenue, one of the roads leading to the Divine Court."
Black and White Impermanence explained.
At that moment, Baiyu voiced the questions in his heart: "Who came up with the names of these identities within the Divine Court?"
Black and White Impermanence gave him a surprised look.
"Didn’t your Guide tell you about this?"
"I have no Guide."
"No Guide?"
The two looked even more surprised.
Generally, those wanting to enter the Divine Court would be invited by old members.
And those who were invited would surely be informed of the Divine Court’s background.
"In that case, let me explain it to you."
White Impermanence said, "The identities, divine names of the Divine Court are all derived from the Ancient Ruins.
You know.
In ancient times, not only was technology advanced, but human civilization’s powers were also incredibly strong.
Limited records on the foundation.
Humans at that time had already stepped out of Canglan, beginning to conquer the Spirit Realm and the Star Sea.
However.
No powerful civilization can escape the erosion of time.
Even by developing technology like Teleportation Light Gates, the Ancient Human Race was still wiped out.
But the many relics they left behind have astonishing effects.
The identities in the Divine Court.
Aren’t just codenames but also represent the Spirit Technique and Core Technique associated with those identities.
For example, your identity is the Moon Lord.
Then your Core Technique undoubtedly relates to the moon.
But this can only be known once you enter the Inheritance Hall within the Divine Court."
Upon hearing this, Baiyu felt a stir in his heart.
There is even matching Core Technique and Spirit Technique?
Just how formidable is this Divine Court’s power; he finds it hard to imagine.
In fact.
From the start to now, even though he’s only encountered the tip of the iceberg of Divine Court’s power, it’s already evident.
The Divine Court is likely a super secret organization, not weaker than the Great Church.
As for the designations and inheritances in the Divine Court, they all come from Ancient Ruins, originating from Ancient Human Race.
This point makes Baiyu unable to further investigate.
He even entertained a conjecture.
Is this really Earth; can’t he recognize it simply because the timeline doesn’t match?
Could it be Earth’s several million years later?
Unknowable.
Once this line of thought broke, Baiyu decided not to ask any more questions and walked with Black and White Impermanence towards the center of the Divine Court.
Such a grand palace naturally has many rooms and halls.
Baiyu was taken to the very center of the palace, which is the Divine Court’s assembly hall.
The décor of the entire hall changed from its previous somber style.
Dragon carvings and phoenix paintings adorned with floating clouds; it looked exceedingly elegant.
Everywhere were stone tables and stone benches.
Among them were dozens of people, wearing various masks and robes of various colors.
Since they were Spirit Bodies.
Baiyu couldn’t discern their features.
"Hey, is there a newcomer arriving?"
"Seems like their rank isn’t low; no wait, they’ve been recognized as the Moon Lord?"
"Who is his Guide, and why was he brought by two Impermanence?"
Once he stepped into the hall, faint voices echoed from all directions.
All of them looked over.
A newcomer in the Divine Court is a rare event, though Impermanence doesn’t count.
Those viewed by these official members as newcomers are at least the same level as them.
Recognized by the Inheritance Hall of the Divine Court.
"Yun Monarch, go and investigate what’s going on."
At this moment, one among the dozen or so individuals spoke.
In response.
A man in a white robe with an ethereal demeanor and full of white hair, wearing a mask the color of weary clouds, stood out, "When it comes to doing such laborious tasks, you always wait for me to step forward, sigh..."
"Yun Monarch is a renowned good-natured person; we trust you with the newcomer."
"Indeed, moreover, this counts as building rapport; to be recognized as the Moon Lord from the start, surely no ordinary person."
Someone nearby explained with a smile.
The man ignored the others and approached Bai Yu, dismissing the two Impermanence, then reached out his hand:
"Nice to meet you, I am Yun Zhong Jun."
Baiyu awkwardly shook his hand and introduced himself: "Moon Lord."
Apparently noticing his unease.
Yun Zhong Jun warmly smiled: "You don’t have to worry; among the people of the Divine Court, there’s no distinction between ranks of superiority or inferiority, nor age or experience.
Whether new or old.
Status.
Is the same.
Everyone mingles as equals, treating each other as friends.
However, Moon Lord, your Guide seemed to have left for something?"
Baiyu shook his head.
How could he have any Guide?
If he truly had one, it must be the person who sent him the note, or rather, the power behind that individual.
Helpless.
He had to explain to Yun Zhong Jun that he didn’t have a Guide.
