Chapter 600: The Great Drama Begins!

"Next, you will see a precious scene that took place in the ancient era." A hoarse voice echoed, emerging in the minds of all living beings along with the imagery.

"It is a complete record of the moment the ruler of this vast domain beneath our feet once slew the Crimson Mother. This footage has always been abhorred by the gods and was thus forbidden for endless years, until today, after the vicissitudes of time... we finally found it and reveal it to you in its entirety."

The tone of these words felt ancient, as if transmitted from time itself, carrying sighs and deep reflection.

"I hope that everyone in this vast domain, whether cultivator or mortal, regardless of your tribe, you who have been trapped in the cycle of fate for lifetimes of misery, will remember this incredibly precious footage, because after this time, this footage will be sealed away by the gods once more."

At this moment, the wind blew across the Jiyue Domain!

No matter where the living beings in the Jiyue Domain were, or what environment they were in, at this instant, images appeared in their minds, and voices emerged. The images were incredibly clear, the voices had no impurities; everything appeared in this extremely abrupt and forceful manner.

At first, most people were stunned, but they soon noticed that those around them were also dazed. Realizing that everyone nearby was experiencing this same scene, a sense of panic suddenly arose, followed by waves of turmoil.

This turmoil spread through one tribe after another, and through every city, like an unprecedented storm covering the entire domain.

In some cities, after the previous madness and despair, only ruins remained. Some people within had already fallen into numbness, but this storm caused their numb hearts to tremble.

They walked out from the ruins in rags, emerged from underground tunnels, or struggled to crawl up from piles of corpses, staring blankly at the sky.

Although the sky was crimson and contained no images, it seemed that this action allowed them to see the images in their minds more clearly.

Such figures were everywhere in the Jiyue Domain; some were alone, others in groups. In the wilderness, there were even more refugees. They had been walking silently, without a destination, not knowing where to go, and some would even choose to lie down and close their eyes as they walked.

But at this moment, with the appearance of the images in their minds, their hearts began to quiver. Other cities, located within the territories of great tribes, had also experienced madness but were relatively stable; yet, the impending arrival of the Crimson Mother hung over their minds like a blade.

Under the tip of this blade, they could only accept their fate, unable to resist and afraid to struggle. The appearance of the images and the voice likewise shook their deadened hearts. But what was even more shocking was for the cultivators of the Jiyue Domain, especially those of the Anti-Moon Palace.

They were scattered everywhere; some were leaders of tribes, others were powerful figures of sects. When the Red Moon star appeared a month ago, although they were panicked, the intent to resist still existed, and they had formed one resistance group after another.

It was just that... not everyone was like the cultivators of the Anti-Moon Palace. Most cultivators actually lacked the courage to resist the gods. After all, if they didn't resist, they could survive until the Crimson Mother arrived, but if they resisted... they might die in the next instant during the battle with the Red Moon Temple.

Therefore, the appearance of this footage had a great impact on them.

The same impact also spread through the hearts of the cultivators of the Red Moon Temple.

And so, amidst the attention of all living beings, this great drama officially began. In the footage, the firmament rippled like fish scales, and countless blood clouds rapidly formed and gathered until they covered the entire sky, as if someone had placed a blood prison over the whole world.

Thunder rumbled, and bolts of black lightning appeared amidst the colliding clouds, connecting into a sheet, resembling the gates of a blood prison's cage.

Oppression was the main theme of this scene.

The earth was also blood-colored, and one could see countless skeletons piled into at least nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine mountain peaks.

Each mountain peak was a thousand zhang high, and they stood on the earth in concentric circles, forming a massive array.

Infinite blood flowed from beneath these nearly ten thousand mountains of corpses, gathering in the very center to form a huge blood-colored lake.

In the lake, a woman stood with her back to the masses, washing her body. She had long hair and snow-white skin, her back full of allure. As she washed herself with fresh blood, a song echoed.

"Some roam free and easy, chasing the wind and breaking waves, rushing to the Red Moon ocean, treading across the brilliant frontiers. The masses cycle in delusions, all things are food for flesh and blood. The sunlight burns, my eyes cannot bury my ideals. I look up at the vastness, above the Red Moon, I am soaring."

The singing drifted, spreading in all directions. The voice contained firmness, carried persistence, and seemed full of dreams.

Yet behind this dream, there were nearly ten thousand mountains of corpses, countless skeletons of the masses, and the background music of this song.

That was the sound of weeping, endless wailing—this was the melody of the dream. One could imagine that on the path she took to pursue her dream, such mountains of corpses were certainly not limited to this one place. And at this moment, as she sang, the blood-colored lake churned, and one could vaguely see nearly ten thousand tentacles within, connecting to all the surrounding mountains of corpses.

As they writhed, those mountains of corpses offered up their blood, and their flesh rapidly withered, becoming nutrients that merged into the body of the woman in the blood lake.

Accompanied by countless souls, amidst increasingly shrill wailing and the collapse of one flesh-and-blood mountain after another, they surged into the mouth of the woman in the blood lake.

Such a scene caused the minds of all living beings in the Jiyue Domain to roar. Through the curse within their bodies, they felt at the very first moment that the woman was none other than the Red Moon Crimson Mother!

And just at this moment, a thunderclap that split the heavens and earth suddenly came from the blood-colored firmament. A pair of giant hands reached out from beyond the sky and tore open this blood-colored firmament.

A deafening sound shook the heavens and earth at this moment. The firmament was torn directly in two, revealing a huge gap. Infinite light shone out in beams of ten thousand zhang, illuminating everything, dispelling the blood color, and suppressing the evil spirits.

As the blood clouds collapsed, a middle-aged man wearing a golden robe appeared from within. This middle-aged man's expression was imposing without anger. As he took a step down, the heavens and earth roared, the blood clouds continued to explode, and the earth itself trembled.

The entire world seemed to be churning. The blood-colored lake on the earth also surged with huge waves, and the red tentacles within began to lash out continuously. The woman also suddenly raised her head, staring at the person arriving in the firmament, and a shrill sound came from her mouth.

Her body coiled around the blood lake and rushed toward the firmament.

The blood lake rotated into a vortex, and for a time, the blood intent was monstrous, as if it wanted to swallow everything.

And in the firmament, the arriving middle-aged man remained expressionless. His footsteps did not pause; he continued to descend and took a second step.

With just one step, the vortex formed by the blood-colored lake was torn apart and exploded with a bang, revealing the woman's true form within.

Her upper body was the same as a human's, while her lower body consisted of countless tentacles, looking extremely ghastly and hideous.

Next was the third step. The sky trembled and suddenly collapsed, turning into countless fragments that fell toward the woman. The earth also sank, forming massive fissures. As for the woman between heaven and earth, her shrill sound became even more intense; she spat out blood and her body retreated.

Then came the fourth step.

The heavens collapsed and the earth cracked. After the woman's body was severely wounded and fell to the earth, the middle-aged man's fifth step followed. He descended to the earth, stepped on the head of the woman who was struggling to resist, and trampled her fiercely into the ground.

After doing all this, he lowered his head and spoke calmly, his expression still blank.

"The Ancient Emperor chose to ignore your actions because of your origins, unwilling to be entangled in too much karma with the place you came from. But your singing is terrible; it disturbed my fourth child's dream."

The voice echoed calmly in all directions, and also echoed in the hearts of all living beings in the Jiyue Domain, stirring up unprecedented waves that erupted like a monstrous tide.

It was truly because this scene was too shocking. Everything for the mortals—they watched as the high-and-mighty Crimson Mother was actually trampled directly into the ground by one foot, and no matter how she struggled, it was to no avail.

And the reason for everything was actually just because the singing had disturbed the other party's fourth child's dream.

This subversive scene made the masses instinctively unable to believe it, yet all the changes and the pressure within the footage were extremely real.

As a result, their hearts could not help but fluctuate. But in the final analysis, compared to acceptance, hesitation ultimately occupied the majority, especially among the experts of the various tribes in the Jiyue Domain; the hesitation in their hearts was immense.

Relying solely on the footage of the first scene was not enough to truly shake their minds. This was actually within the Captain's previous expectations, so this great drama was divided into two acts.

And now, as the first act ended, the image gradually blurred until it dissipated, and that hoarse voice echoed in the minds of the masses once again.

"Next, after the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, the second act of precious historical footage will be displayed before you."

At the same time, at the recording site, the Heir-Prince closed the thousand-zhang Sky Mirror lens and nodded.

"That will do."

As soon as his words fell, Xiang Ningyan, who was playing the ruler, hurriedly lifted his foot. All the majesty on his face vanished in an instant, replaced by nervousness and obsequiousness.

On the ground, You Jing stood up expressionlessly and gave Xiang Ningyan a cold look.

Xiang Ningyan shivered; he had basically used his full strength for that final kick.

It was just that this scene, from beginning to end, was incredibly natural and perfect because of the secret assistance of the Heir-Prince, the old grandfather, and others using their techniques.

Thus, Xiang Ningyan had an illusion that it was as if all that pressure was truly released by himself, to the point that he was too deep into the role.

"You all prepare to switch; next is the second act!"

The Heir-Prince's gaze swept over Xiang Ningyan and gave further instructions, beginning to point out the details after Wu Wu Jianwu's entrance, as well as the method of Chen Chen Erniu's blade strike.

During this time, Princess Mingmei, Old Eight, and Fifth Sister also spoke up, making the plot of this first act look as realistic as possible.

Just like that, half a stick of incense passed. The Heir-Prince opened the Sky Mirror lens, and Xiang Ningyan and the others stood ready. As the images emerged in the minds of the masses outside, they were about to start performing.

But in an instant, the wind rose at the scene. This wind came suddenly, carrying an ancient aura, blowing the hair and clothes of everyone, and their minds transformed into a heaven-shaking killing intent.

This killing intent was only the beginning, yet it caused the place to roar and the heavens and earth to change color.

The group who were preparing to act all had their expressions change. Whether it was Xiang Ningyan, Wu Wu Jianwu, You Jing, Li Youfei, or the Captain, they all turned their heads in unison and looked at Xu Qing.
