Chapter 1107 Nursery Rhyme of Time
Li Zihua’s voice echoed in the Moon Worship Region, causing void to rumble and lightning to flash.
However, the fragmented-face was indifferent. Although It was facing here now, It didn’t open Its eyes.
Mournful wails rang out from the seven locations where the Red Moon Shrine cultivators were gathered.
Li Zihua’s voice was filled with the intent of extermination. In an instant, the bodies of these Red Moon cultivators and the forces they were attached to began to tremble.
Their skins split open on their own, revealing their flesh. At this moment, their flesh trembled and fell off their bones one by one, piling up into a small mountain on the ground.
The last to fall were their heads that had lost their flesh and blood.
There were such small mountains in all of the seven locations.
The small flesh mountains then combined to form large flesh mountains.
There were a total of seven of them. The smell of blood even materialized and rose into the air like smoke, like tears from the sky.
The fragmented-face of the god in the sky was still indifferent.
This lasted until… Li Zihua’s body began to tear.
The current Him was a god.
His tearing caused the sky and earth to change color and the wind to surge. As His flesh fell, the eighth fleshy mountain rose from the ground.
It rose higher and higher.
Countless pieces of flesh piled up into a supreme mountain peak.
Its height was actually the same as the Red Moon Star. In the end… Li Zihua’s head also floated to the top of the mountain after losing all its flesh and blood.
From the start to the end, His expression was cold and emotionless. The moment His head came into contact with the mountain of flesh, His empty eye sockets looked at the sky.
At this moment, the fragmented-face of the god in the sky slowly… opened Its eyes!
Different from the scene that appeared in Xu Qing’s purple crystal, this time, the god’s fragmented-face truly opened Its eyes. As It opened Its eyes, calmness appeared in Its golden pupils.
As Its gaze landed, the Moon Worship Region distorted and became blurry.
The blood rain landed on Li Zihua’s mountain of flesh. The calamity had descended on the Repentance Plain and this place… was changing.
This change was irreversible.
The anomalous substances that surpassed all gods rose on the Repentance Plain, changing the earth, everyone, and everything here.
The entire Repentance Plain was becoming a new forbidden zone. Some strange life forms were born inside.
That mountain of flesh was also rapidly becoming the master of the forbidden zone. It had a new life and a new consciousness.
At that moment, all the living beings in the Wanggu Continent trembled. No matter where they were, they could see the god’s fragmented-face and the act of opening Its eyes.
Countless negative emotions such as fear, horror, and panic erupted in the Wanggu Continent.
There were also blurry shadows of the Heavenly Dao appearing in the sky of the Wanggu Continent, as though they wanted to resist and stop It.
However, it was useless. They could only let out soundless wails, and some of them were dying.
These were the 100,000 Heavenly Dao of the Wanggu Continent.
They were different from the 99 Immemorial Heavenly Dao. Every time the fragmented-face opened Its eyes, it was a destruction to these Heavenly Dao.
Red Moon Star was also affected.
It was in the sky above the Repentance Plain and within sight of the god’s fragmented-face.
At that moment, it was trembling unprecedentedly. The scene that happened when Xu Qing’s purple crystal summoned the fragmented-face’s gaze reappeared at this moment.
The first place the god’s gaze saw would become a forbidden zone.
The second time would turn it into a forbidden region.
The third time would make it a Divine Realm.
As for the fourth time… it was called the Divine World!
The Red Moon began to beat. On a timeline, it flickered disorderly. Immediately after, countless Red Moon stars appeared in countless spacetime.
They intertwined and overlapped with each other. After these countless actions, a scene that Xu Qing didn’t see clearly back then appeared!
In the depths of these countless Red Moon stars, a haziness appeared. This haziness rapidly expanded and finally covered an endless range, enveloping the countless Red Moon stars.
It transformed into an incomparably vast face!
The appearance of this face was none other than that of Crimson Goddess. As for the countless Red Moon stars that formed this face, every time they intersected and overlapped, they would form the microexpression of this face.
These microexpressions made this face seem alive and lifelike!
It was as though every expression on this face represented the rotation of a thought, and with it, a space-time based on this thought would appear.
This was the reason why the Red Moon Star appeared in many spacetimes.
Different thoughts caused more and more spacetime to appear.
Just like choices, it seemed that to this face, every time it made a choice, a different time and space would appear. According to this choice, a new world would evolve.
This was the Divine World.
At this moment, the Repentance Plain became a forbidden zone, while the Red Moon Star on it transformed into a Divine World!
At this moment, the eye of the god’s fragmented-face slowly closed.
On the Red Moon Star, Crimson Goddess was trembling. Li Zihua, who was being devoured by her, still had a gentle expression. He stared at the pained Crimson Goddess and waved his hand.
At the next instant, Xu Qing, the captain, the heir, and the others instantly disappeared from the Red Moon Star. When they reappeared, they were already outside the Repentance Plain in the Moon Worship Region.
Almost at the instant they left, the agonizing cries of Crimson Goddess turned into a storm that swept in all directions, even destroying the Moon Palace.
Crimson Goddess’ body collapsed!
The face of the Divine World also altered rapidly. It was no longer Crimson Goddess but had lost its facial features, turning into a blank face.
The Red Moon Star was transformed into a Divine World by the god’s fragmented-face. However, Crimson Goddess clearly couldn’t support this change. It was like if a great tonic exceeded a certain range, it would become highly toxic.
Too much was as bad as not enough!
Therefore, She was collapsing, She was breaking into pieces, She was dying, and She was screaming.
As for the Red Moon Star, it was disappearing!
At this moment, the eyes of the Ancient Spirit Emperor, who was still in the Moon Palace, revealed covetousness as He rushed over crazily. His body transformed into countless eyeballs, and a ghastly mouth appeared in each of them, ruthlessly devouring the collapsing Crimson Goddess.
At the next instant, blood-curdling screeches rang out as a large number of eyeballs collapsed. However, there was still a portion of them that quickly hid after biting Crimson Goddess’ flesh and blood, disappearing from the Moon Palace.
Overall, the flesh swallowed by the Ancient Spirit Emperor accounted for 10% of Crimson Goddess’ body.
It wasn’t that He didn’t want to continue, but He couldn’t do it anymore.
At the same time, Moon Flame and Star Flame couldn’t care less. They instantly got close and tore apart Crimson Goddess’ flesh, taking away about 10% each. They wanted to continue, but the disappearing Red Moon Star brought them a huge crisis.
What really made them decide that they couldn’t continue was Li Zihua’s weak voice.
“You can’t be greedy.”
Moon Flame and Star Flame’s eyes flashed. They didn’t hesitate and instantly disappeared.
The instant they left, the Red Moon Star completely blurred and faded in the sky. It was as though it had been erased and dissipated into the sky.
The moment the Red Moon Star dissipated, outside the Moon Worship Region’s Repentance Plain, the captain who had been sent out by Li Zihua suddenly trembled and collapsed.
After that, his body parts quickly gathered together again. His eyes were filled with excitement as they blinked rapidly at Xu Qing, who had a solemn expression on his face.
Xu Qing’s gaze swept over and he immediately understood that the captain was transmitting the number three to him.
However, he understood that now wasn’t the time to ask. In the sky, the Red Moon Star had disappeared. Not only did it disappear from the Moon Worship Region, but it also disappeared from the Wanggu Continent.
From now on, the moons of the Wanggu Continent would be one less.
“It’s still here…” Xu Qing lifted his head and looked at the sky.
He possessed a portion of the Red Moon’s authority, so even though others couldn’t sense it, Xu Qing could vaguely sense the Red Moon that had become a Divine World, in a place very far away from the Wanggu Continent.
Outside the Wanggu Continent, in the depths of the starry sky, in the endless void…
There were countless vortices of varying sizes. Their colors were different and they were all resplendent as they slowly rotated.
No one knew what this place was and almost no cultivators had stepped foot here.
At that moment, among the countless vortices, another one silently appeared.
Compared to the other vortices, it was tiny and red.
In this vortex was a blank face formed by countless spacetime and Red Moon stars. Between the brows of this face was a spacetime, and the Red Moon star inside burned with golden flames.
This was divine fire. It didn’t come from Crimson Goddess or Li Zihua. From its aura, this fire belonged to the Red Moon’s Divine Son, who was also the fourth prince who had died.
There was something else in the flames, and it was the core of this divine fire.
It was an eyeball.
It was the eye Xu Qing had seen in the Divine Son’s secret repository.
It was… the left eye of Crimson Goddess.
At that moment, in the pupil of this eye, the figure of Crimson Goddess slowly appeared. It grew larger and larger and finally occupied all of the eyeball, growing flesh outside it.
Her once empty eyes now had an eyeball in Her left eye socket.
Flesh and blood piled up until Crimson Goddess’ body was completely formed.
Crimson Goddess opened Her eyes.
Her once empty eyes now had an eyeball in Her left eye socket.
A vast might erupted from Her body, spreading through this spacetime and affecting the other spacetimes in an attempt to change everything.
However, at the next instant, a blood-curdling scream rang out from Her mouth!
“Li Zihua…”
Crimson Goddess’ voice was bitter. The moment She spoke, Li Zihua’s figure materialized in Her left eye. He quickly occupied the eyeball and also spread to Crimson Goddess’ body.
Crimson Goddess quaked and wanted to resist, but it was useless. Her appearance gradually changed. Her body altered from a woman to a man until finally, She looked like Li Zihua.
During this process, Crimson Goddess’ voice became increasingly bitter, echoing in the Moon Palace.
“So this was your plan…”
“You knew about my arrangements long ago, so you sacrificed your fourth prince.”
“Li Zihua, it’s not that you don’t want to become a god, but you’re unwilling to bear the great karma after becoming a god. So, although you cut off my mortal form, you didn’t really kill me and pushed me to become a god. After I endured the great karma, you revived on me.”
Crimson Goddess’ voice became weaker and weaker. In the end, after She transformed into Li Zihua’s appearance, She shut Her eyes and Her voice turned into lingering sounds. There was unwillingness, resentment, and confusion. In the end, She sighed.
“Brother, I’ll fulfill your wish…”
Crimson Goddess had fallen.
After a long time, His eyes slowly opened.
Li Zihua returned.
“Fourth Sister, the path of Brilliant Heaven is wrong… The path of Profound Earth is also wrong.”
“Immortals and gods can actually… fuse.”
“That’s why I said that the mission still remains.”
Li Zihua mumbled softly and looked in the direction of the Wanggu Continent. After a long time, He raised His hand and grabbed. The Red Moon Divine World shrunk in front of Him and finally transformed into an eyeball. He held it in His hand and pressed it into His right eye.
After that, He turned and calmly strolled into the depths of the void.
He moved further and further away.
Only the sound of a nursery rhyme came out of His mouth, carrying an inexplicable melody that resounded in the void.
“Once upon a time, there was a big doll, followed by a row of little dolls. Ten dolls, six, seven, eight, with red eyes and gray hair. Silent all day long, the older children saw and shouted, ‘Kids, don’t fear…”
“Until one day suddenly, the big doll got sick, the second doll looked, the third doll bought medicine, the fifth doll boiled, the sixth doll died, the seventh doll laughed, the eighth doll dug a hole, the ninth doll jumped, the tenth doll’s tears fell on the ground. I went to ask him why he was crying…”
“The fourth doll is lost and won’t come back!”
In this nursery rhyme, the fourth doll mentioned might not be just referring to the fourth prince, but also the ruler’s fourth sister…
