Chapter 669

The change of the Sacrifice Moon began after the Red Mother became a god and her battle with Li Zihua. Perhaps the battle between them had actually not ended long ago as the world believed, throughout one era after another.

Perhaps this great war had traversed space-time from ancient times to the present, continuing in a way that the world could not understand, spanning countless years, until finally, this battle reached its end.

The haze of this great domain for countless years also dissipated along with the disappearance of the Red Moon star. As for where the Red Moon went, whether the Red Mother was truly dead, and whether Li Zihua would appear again, no one knew the answer to these things.

Outsiders were not sure, and the people who participated in this battle were also not sure. For the living beings of the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain now, the only thing that could be certain was that this battle would become a legend.

Passed down from generation to generation, one could imagine that the ten thousand races born in this great domain countless years later would see traces of this battle in ancient books, and they would know that the great domain they lived in had once been cursed in the distant past.

And they would also understand that this curse had been broken with the end of that legendary battle.

If one day, the descendants living in this great domain were qualified to step into space-time and return to this day, then they would certainly be able to feel the changes in the entire Sacrifice Moon Great Domain after the Red Moon disappeared.

All things began to revive, hope had descended, and the water of the Si Yin River surrounding the great domain changed from red to clear. The countless skeletons buried within for many years turned into silt and no longer churned.

The living beings no longer had the Red Moon curse in their bloodlines. From then on, they no longer needed the Curse-Breaking Elixir or the Curse-Descending Elixir. Their footsteps were no longer confined to this great domain, and freedom was returned to the living beings of the Sacrifice Moon.

Having experienced the torture of these countless eras and endured despair, now standing at the intersection of the old and new eras, while they cheered and were inspired, they also found it difficult to dissipate the exhaustion of body and mind.

They were very tired and needed to recuperate. Thus, the Mingnan Shizi walked out. At this moment, his status required him to fulfill his duties and mission.

His cultivation was also sufficient to take on the role, so with the support of the people, the Mingnan Shizi took over the former power and became the Lord of the Sacrifice Moon.

The new Sacrifice Moon Palace was located by the Mingnan Shizi in the Ku Sheng Mountain Range. From then on, he would sit in this place, guarding this great domain.

And in the depths of the Sacrifice Moon, there existed an ordinary pharmacy. This place did not need to be defined; it would be linked to the legend, because this pharmacy was itself a part of the legend and also the beginning of the legend.

The owner of the pharmacy was not the Mingnan Shizi, but a person named Xu Qing.

As for the ownership of the entire Sacrifice Moon Great Domain, the Mingnan Shizi ultimately did not choose to return to the human race, but instead made it independent. The name "Sacrifice Moon" did not change, but its meaning was already completely different.

It was no longer about sacrificing, but about offering—offering the Red Moon!

This was the choice between the Mingnan Shizi and his brothers and sisters, and also the choice of the living beings of the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain.

And the Mingmei Princess also had her own duties. She went to the Northern Ice Plains, which had originally been her fiefdom. In the north, the Mingmei Princess established an academy named the Bei Ming Palace.

In the years to come, she would educate well and dedicate everything she had to the people of her fiefdom.

And the Fifth Princess also had a mission. She used her ability to repair the Reverse Moon Mirror, and after piecing it back together, she raised it high, floating it in the sky of the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain to become the sun.

As for herself, she chose to walk into the Reverse Moon Mirror, sitting in meditation there eternally, releasing her own authority and her own light, allowing all the people of the Sacrifice Moon to worship, or from then on, they had sunlight!

All things were nourished and full of vitality. As for the cultivators in the Reverse Moon Palace, they also regained their freedom and could choose autonomously.

Thus, some chose to leave the connection with the Reverse Moon Palace and return to their respective tribes to strive for revival, while others were willing to stay in the Reverse Moon Mirror, using their infinite lives to become sun guards.

The last portion followed the Mingnan Shizi to guard this homeland together with him.

And the Eighth Prince's choice was different from his brothers and sisters. His personality was not suited for staying in one place for a long time. His former imprisonment had allowed him to have his own judgment about the changes in the outside world over these countless years.

Thus, he chose to roam the world, leaving the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain; he wanted to take a good look at this familiar yet unfamiliar Wanggu Continent.

As for the Ninth Prince, as the one with the strongest combat power among all the brothers and sisters, he walked into the Plains of Repentance and went to the side of the flesh-and-blood mountain formed by his flesh and blood. In front of this master of the Forbidden Zone, the Ninth Prince sat cross-legged and remained motionless. His divine sense spread across the entire Forbidden Zone and also spread to the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain.

He was looking for the path his father once took, and he was cultivating.

The affairs of the Sacrifice Moon Great Domain came to an end here. The gains from the battle with the Red Mother were different for everyone who participated in that battle, and they would not be told to the outside world.

But it seemed that every party was very satisfied. The Ancient Spirit Emperor did not look for Xu Qing again, obviously feeling that his gains were immense.

Moon Flame and Star Flame also did not appear again; presumably, they also thought the gains were not small.

The Mingnan Shizi and the others had no comments on this either.

But judging from the results, perhaps there were extra gifts from their father king. As for Xu Qing and the Captain... they were the side with the fewest gains on the surface.

They had suppressed a Red Mother clone, Zhang Siyun, and to obtain this gain, they had paid a lot.

Whether it was the effect of Xu Qing's Red Moon authority or the Captain's many preparations and deployments in his past life, all of this made this gain look like it was in line with the distribution of their cultivation bases, but from the perspective of value, it was a bit reluctant compared to other parties. Thus, the Captain found the Mingnan Shizi and the others many times, putting on a bitter expression, and even went so far as to summon the Moon Flame Upper God to ask for an explanation, and even shouted for Xu Qing to urge the Ancient Spirit Emperor and the Mud Fox.

He looked like a worker whose wages had been withheld by a landlord, but the Moon Flame Upper God ignored him, and the Ancient Spirit Emperor didn't respond at all!

As for the Mud Fox, after thinking about it, Xu Qing fortunately gave up on communicating. Only the Mingnan Shizi and the others looked at the Captain with deep meaning: I know the true gains you brat got.

If it were someone else, they might have been a bit timid under this gaze, but the Captain was not. He continued to ask for an explanation, but eventually put on a dejected look and left with a sigh.

Until they reached a place where no one was around, the Captain quickly took out the remaining two Dawning Suns, finally letting Xu Qing take out the one he had left as well. Afterward, still not at ease, he spat out large mouthfuls of blood to seal the four directions, letting Xu Qing unleash the Red Moon authority.

Although the Red Moon had disappeared, Xu Qing's authority still remained. These days, there were some differences compared to before. As for the specifics, Xu Qing still needed to carefully ponder and study to understand.

But no matter what, through their joint efforts, they finally had an area where they could divide the spoils.

"Little Ah Qing, have you learned it? We must let outsiders think we gained very little. That way, they won't be jealous. Although gods are omniscient and omnipotent, when it involves the Red Mother and Li Zihua, this omniscience and omnipotence is suppressed. We must cry and complain, expressing that we have suffered a loss."

The Captain was beaming, his face full of excitement.

Xu Qing nodded immediately. He naturally knew the Captain's intention. In fact, although he didn't know about the gains this time, the Captain's three blinks had already given him a rough judgment.

"Little Ah Qing, this time... we've made it big!" The Captain's voice was even trembling, and his breathing was rapid!

After saying this, he instinctively looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "This time, our gains are not just the Red Mother clone Zhang Siyun, but also this!" The Captain said, raising his right hand and spreading it out in front of Xu Qing, saying, "Little Ah Qing, do you know what this is? This is the Red Mother's fingernail! Things from a god are super treasures, better than the fish-bone weapon the old man gave us; they can't be compared at all." The Captain was excited and inspired.

"When we go back, the old man will drool when he sees we have fingernails, haha!" The Captain's small eyes quickly glanced at Xu Qing in his triumph.

Xu Qing looked at the three small fingernails in the Captain's hand with an expressionless face, then looked up with calm eyes, not saying a word.

The Captain blinked, coughed, and said, "Little Ah Qing, do you know what the greatest pleasure in life is? It's satisfaction! You have to learn this from me. I am a person who is particularly easily satisfied. Think about it, the Red Mother is an Upper God. We successfully resolved the threat of the Red Mother to us this time. This is the greatest gain, and her clone is an even bigger gain. The most important thing is this big fingernail."

"This is a family heirloom, but Little Ah Qing, you are my Junior Brother, and I, as the Senior Brother, have to take care of you, so I'll give you two, and one is enough for me."

The Captain looked incredibly generous as he gave Xu Qing two small fingernails, then turned and flickered, about to leave.

Xu Qing's expression had been very calm from beginning to end. He took the two small fingernails and put them away, then took out a bamboo slip and began to carve characters.

This scene fell into the Captain's eyes. His heart jumped, and he hurriedly came to Xu Qing's side, his eyes falling on the bamboo slip, watching Xu Qing seriously carving his own name.

Thus, he blinked, coughed, and said, "Little Junior Brother? Senior Brother was just joking with you. Hurry up and put this bamboo slip away, there's no need, no need!" Saying this, the Captain's expression became solemn, and he said in a low voice.

"How could our true gains be just these three fingernails!"

The Captain raised his right hand and spread it out again. In his palm appeared three bubbles, each containing a finger fused with feathers and flesh and blood, dripping with blood, and even more shockingly, containing divine power, extremely rich.
