Chapter 668: Ballads in the Years

On the Festival Moon Great Domain earth, Li Zihua's voice echoed. Wherever it passed, the void boomed, and thunder was endless.

But the Remnant Face remained indifferent. Although it was facing this place now, it did not open its eyes.

And in the seven locations where the Red Moon Divine Hall cultivators gathered, miserable wails were emitted at this moment.

Li Zihua's voice possessed the intent of extinction to them. In an instant, these Red Moon cultivators and all the other people attached to the mountain peaks had their bodies begin to tremble.

Their skin split on its own, revealing bright red flesh and blood, and the flesh and blood trembled at this moment, falling off from the bones one after another, piling up on the ground to become small mountains.

What fell last were their heads that had lost all flesh and blood.

Looking from afar, in these seven locations, such small mountains were one after another, countless, and these endless flesh and blood small mountains formed flesh and blood large mountains.

A total of seven were currently rising, heaven-shaking and earth-shattering. The bloody smell even

Li Zihua's body began to tear; the current sacrifice was a god.

Howl.

His tearing caused the heavens and earth to change color, and the winds to rise and clouds to surge. As his flesh and blood fell, the eighth blood mountain on the ground below was rising from the ground, growing higher and higher.

Countless flesh and blood piled up into what looked like a supreme mountain peak, its height actually level with the Red Moon star, until finally, Li Zihua's head, having lost all its flesh and blood, landed on the summit.

From beginning to end, her expression was indifferent, without the slightest emotional fluctuation. And the moment the head touched the flesh-and-blood mountain, her hollow eyes looked at the sky.

At this moment, the god's remnant face in the sky also slowly opened its eyes. Unlike the hair that emerged from Xu Qing's purple crystal, this time, the god's remnant face truly opened its eyes. As its eyes opened and closed, a calm expression appeared in its golden pupils.

And as its gaze fell, the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain twisted and became a blur.

Blood rain fell on Li Zihua's flesh-and-blood mountain, and the apocalypse descended on the Plains of Repentance.

This place... was being changed, and this change was irreversible.

All the foreign matter of the gods rose in the Plains of Repentance, changing the earth, changing all things, and changing this place.

The entire Plains of Repentance was becoming a new Forbidden Zone, and some bizarre life forms were born within.

That flesh-and-blood mountain was also rapidly becoming the master of the Forbidden Zone, possessing new life and new consciousness.

At this moment, all the ten thousand races of the Wanggu Continent, all living beings, trembled without exception. No matter where they were, they could see the god's remnant face and its action of opening its eyes.

Fear, horror, panic—countless emotions erupted across the Wanggu Continent.

Furthermore, blurry shadows appeared one after another in the sky of the Wanggu Continent, intending to resist and stop it.

But it was to no avail; they could only let out silent wails, and among them, some were falling.

These were the one hundred thousand Heavenly Daos of the Wanggu Continent's space-time. They were different from the ninety-nine ancient Heavenly Daos, and for them, every time the remnant face opened its eyes, it was a destruction.

And also affected was the Red Moon star.

It was above the Plains of Repentance and also within the gaze of the god's remnant face.

At this moment, it was trembling as never before. The scene that occurred when Xu Qing summoned the remnant face with the purple crystal reappeared at this moment.

The place where the god's gaze first fell would become a Forbidden Zone.

The second time, it was a Forbidden Land; the third time, it was a Divine Domain; and finally, the fourth time... it was called the Divine Realm.

The Red Moon began to jump, flickering in a disorderly fashion on a timeline, and immediately after, countless Red Moon stars appeared in countless space-times.

They intersected and overlapped with each other, and after these countless actions, the scene Xu Qing hadn't seen clearly before appeared!

In the depths of these countless Red Moon stars, a blur appeared. This blur expanded rapidly, eventually covering an endless range, shrouding the countless Red Moon stars within, and turning into a vast, incomparable face.

The appearance of this face was exactly that of the Red Mother, and the countless Red Moon stars of space-time that made up this face—each intersection and overlap formed the micro-expressions of this face. These micro-expressions made the face look as if it were alive, vivid and lifelike!

It seemed that every expression of this face represented a turn of thought, and following this, the Red Moon stars were disappearing.

Just at this moment, the Ancient Spirit Emperor, still in the Moon Palace, revealed greed in his eyes. He charged forward crazily, his body turning into countless eyeballs, each eyeball revealing a ferocious wide mouth, biting fiercely toward the collapsing Red Mother.

The next instant, miserable screams rang out, and a large number of eyeballs collapsed, but a portion still managed to hide and disappear from the Moon Palace after biting off the Red Mother's flesh and blood.

Looking at it as a whole, the flesh and blood swallowed by the Ancient Spirit Emperor accounted for one-tenth of the Red Mother's total.

He didn't want to stop, but he couldn't do it anymore.

At the same time, Moon Flame and Goddess Xingyan also couldn't care about much else; they approached instantly, tearing off flesh and blood, each taking one-tenth.

They had the heart to continue, but the Red Moon star, currently in the process of disappearing, brought them a huge crisis.

What truly made them decide not to continue was Li Zihua's weak voice.

"Do not swallow."

Moon Flame and Goddess Xingyan's eyes flashed; without hesitation, they disappeared instantly...

The moment they left, this Red Moon star on the sky became completely blurry and faded, as if it had been wiped away, dissipating from the sky.

And the moment the Red Moon star dissipated, the Captain, who had been hidden outside the Plains of Repentance in the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain and sent out by Li Zihua, suddenly shuddered, and his body, which had just grown, collapsed directly.

Afterward, he rapidly gathered and took shape again, his eyes filled with excitement as he blinked rapidly at Xu Qing, who was standing to the side with a solemn expression, blinking three times.

Xu Qing's gaze swept over, and he immediately understood; the Captain was conveying three numbers to him.

But he understood that now was not the time to ask. In the sky, the Red Moon star had disappeared, not only from the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain but also from the Wanggu Continent.

From then on, the moon of the Wanggu Continent would forever be missing one.

"It's still there..." Xu Qing looked up at the sky.

He possessed a portion of the Red Moon's authority, so while others couldn't sense it, Xu Qing could vaguely perceive it.

The Red Moon, which had become the Divine Realm, was in a place very, very far from the Wanggu Continent.

Outside the Wanggu Continent, in the depths of the starry sky, in the endless void, there existed countless vortexes, some large, some small, of different colors, each brilliant and slowly rotating.

No one knew what place this was, and almost no cultivator had ever set foot here.

And at this moment, among these countless vortexes, silently and without a sound, one more appeared; compared to the others, it was very small and crimson red.

Within this vortex was a blank face composed of countless Red Moon stars from countless space-times. At the brow of this face, there was a space-time, and on the Red Moon star within it, a golden flame was burning.

This was the Divine Fire. It did not come from the Red Mother, nor did it come from Li Zihua. Judging from its aura, this fire belonged to the Red Moon God Child, the fourth child who presided over death.

Within the flame, there was another object, the core of this Divine Fire; it was an eyeball.

Xu Qing had once seen it in the God Child's secret treasury; it was the Red Mother's left eye.

At this moment, in the pupil, the Red Mother's figure slowly emerged, growing larger and larger, eventually occupying the entire eyeball, and flesh and blood grew outside the eyeball.

And the flesh and blood piled up until the Red Mother's body was completely formed.

The Red Mother opened her eyes. Her once-hollow eyes now had an eyeball in the left one. A vast might erupted from her body, spreading through this space-time and also affecting other space-times, attempting to change everything.

But the next instant, a miserable scream came from her mouth, and the spreading was interrupted!

"Li Zihua!" The Red Mother's voice was bitter. The moment the words were spoken, Li Zihua's figure emerged in her left eye, rapidly occupying the entire eyeball and spreading to the Red Mother's body.

The Red Mother trembled, wanting to resist, but it was to no avail. Her appearance gradually changed; her body went from female to male, until finally, she became Li Zihua's appearance.

In this process, the Red Mother's voice became increasingly bitter, echoing in the Moon Palace.

"So this was your scheme! You had long known of my arrangements, so you sacrificed your fourth child to lay this trap for me."

"Li Zihua, it's not that you didn't want to become a god, but that you were unwilling to bear the great karma after becoming a god. So, although you severed my mortal shell, you didn't truly kill me, pushing me to become a god. After I bore the great karma, you were resurrected within me." The Red Mother's voice became increasingly weak, and finally, after becoming Li Zihua's appearance, he closed his eyes, and the voice turned into an echo.

There was unwillingness, resentment, and also confusion, until finally, there was a sigh. "Brother, I fulfill you!" The Red Mother fell.

His eyes slowly opened.

Li Zihua had returned!

"Fourth Sister, the path of Huang Tian is wrong, and the path of Thick Earth is also wrong. Immortals and gods can actually be fused."

"So I said, the mission still remains."

Li Zihua murmured softly, looking up into the distance toward the Wanggu Continent.

After a long while, he reached out and grabbed the Red Moon Divine Realm, shrinking it before him until it finally turned into an eyeball, which he held in his hand and pressed into his right eye.

Then, he turned and walked calmly into the depths of the void, going further and further away.

Only the sound of a nursery rhyme came from the god's mouth, carrying an inexplicable tone, echoing in the void.

"Once there was a big doll, with a row of little dolls behind, ten dolls, six, seven, eight, red eyes and gray hair, silent all day long, when the big one sees the child, he shouts 'Ah Jia', when the little child sees, don't be afraid."

"Until suddenly one day, the big doll got sick, the second doll checked, the second doll bought medicine, the fifth doll boiled it, the sixth doll died, the seventh doll laughed, the eighth doll dug a hole, the ninth doll jumped, the tenth doll dropped tears on the ground, I asked him, why are you crying?"

"The fourth doll is lost, and won't come back!"

The fourth doll mentioned in this nursery rhyme, which was once sung, might not be the fourth child of the master, but could also be the master's fourth sister.
