Chapter 309: Mythic Second Stage, Blue Moon Makes a Move

Unlike the sixteen Mythic Stage beings on the field, Qin Chuan could feel from the gradually recovering statue a power that was in no way inferior to the strength he displayed after Spirit Descent.

He gave Lin Yue a glance, Qin Chuan's figure flashed, blood light shot into the sky, and in an instant he appeared before the statue.

"Stop him!"

The Mythic Stage beings who had acted obviously knew of the statue's existence; at once one of them shouted loudly.

But in the next instant, a figure wrapped in lightning suddenly appeared before him, threw a punch down; the moment the lightning exploded, the Mythic Stage who had just spoken was struck by arcs of electricity shooting from his body, plummeting straight to the ground, blasting a huge crater, raising boundless dust, his life or death unknown.

All the Mythic Stage beings changed color again.

For some reason, they felt that the woman before them was even more terrifying than Luo.

Before they could retreat, Lin Yue slowly raised a hand; a point of purple light burst from her fingertips in an instant, sweeping over the Mythic Stage beings on the field like a heavy cannon.

While instantly inflicting heavy damage on several Mythic Stage beings, her calm voice echoed across the field.

"You'd better first think about how to deal with me."

On the other side, Qin Chuan, who had rushed to the statue without hesitation, clenched his fist and slammed a punch toward the statue amidst the surging blood light.

"Pa!"

A crisp sound rang out at that moment.

The statue lightly lifted a hand, grabbed Qin Chuan's fist, and thus blocked his full-force punch.

Qin Chuan's pupils contracted slightly.

"Really an impatient youngster."

The statue slowly uttered a voice from its mouth; in such a short time it already had full mobility, and with just a light push Qin Chuan felt a mighty terrifying power transmitted through his fist to his body, sending his whole body flying backward.

Quickly stabilizing in midair, Qin Chuan looked at the statue stepping step by step through the void, his expression turning utterly solemn.

What tremendous power.

He could feel that the opponent's strength was only a hair above his own after Spirit Descent.

But for some reason, in the brief moment of clashing with the opponent, the power he felt was almost crushing.

What level is this? Is it also Mythic Stage? Or perhaps above Mythic Stage?

After repelling Qin Chuan with a single strike, the statue did not immediately attack; while standing firm in the void, it calmly glanced at the battlefield where Lin Yue was on the other side, then let out a light laugh.

"A mere Legendary Stage, yet able to possess strength sufficient to slay a Mythic Stage."

"The so-called home-field advantage of the material world really makes no sense at all."

"Just…" The statue's voice paused slightly, and in the next instant its form appeared behind Qin Chuan like a ghost.

"There are things that the Heavenly Stairway possesses, while the material world does not."

Qin Chuan's pupils contracted, he quickly turned, looking at the opponent's palm pressing down on him, and without hesitation activated Time Stop.

As the surroundings froze, the jade-white statue's palm, which seemed able to shatter heaven and earth in an instant, also came to a halt.

Before Qin Chuan could even exhale, a chilling, familiar sensation suddenly rose from behind him.

He jerked his head back, looking toward a certain point in the void.

That was the spot where Dereklei had crushed the contaminated core of Kasakaban earlier.

At this moment Dereklei had already left the spot, leaving only a patch of gray-black mist.

As the dungeon's target, he fled without hesitation, and even the other Mythic Stage beings who had acted had no objection, since his death meant the dungeon clearance was successful.

And within the Time Stop space, that originally shapeless gray-black mist quickly roiled, beginning to coalesce! In the blink of an eye, a finger entirely formed from condensed gray-black mist had taken shape, and was rapidly extending.

A faint, eerie chuckle echoed throughout the Time Stop space.

Qin Chuan's cold sweat poured down with a "swish."

It was that ominous-aura-condensed powerhouse! The opponent seemed to be the source of the ominous; its first appearance on Blue Star had only condensed half a body, yet already displayed terrifying power surpassing Mythic Stage.

Although the opponent's strength now is not as great as before, as its body condenses Qin Chuan can clearly feel the opponent's power rapidly increasing.

He must not let this guy coalesce into a form! Qin Chuan glanced at his own Time Stop duration.

According to previous experience, the opponent could exist within the Time Stop space by somehow resisting his Time Stop ability.

As long as he activates Time Stop again…

Qin Chuan was about to repeat his old trick, but discovered that his Time Stop time had not ceased depleting due to the opponent's appearance.

This time, the opponent's method is different from before! "Useless, this is the complete First Level of the Heavenly Stairway, not the material world; my authority has returned." A voice indistinguishable as male/female/old/young chuckled and spoke.

"I don't understand what you're saying." Qin Chuan's face sank, and without hesitation he dispelled Time Stop.

Seeing the gray-black mist that had condensed into half a palm stir around and then instantly collapse back into its original shapeless gray-black mist, Qin Chuan felt relieved.

He had guessed correctly.

This guy's strength is outrageously strong, but he is also under strong restrictions.

He seems only able to display his corresponding form and power within his own Time Stop.

Outside Time Stop, it is merely a cluster of ominous aura.

Of course, this is also bad news.

"Boom!!!"

Having forcibly taken the statue's blow, Qin Chuan was flung backward again, without hesitation unfurling his Blood Dragon Scales; his bodily armor turned crimson, and a terrifying, dangerous aura rose steadily.

Accompanied by the rapid emergence of dragon-pattern fury, Qin Chuan gazed at the statue before him with a solemn expression.

Under Time Stop, he will face the descent of the ominous source.

To avoid this, Qin Chuan's Time Stop is temporarily unavailable.

Probably even Dereklei, who had crushed the core, never imagined that his original means of preventing Qin Chuan and Lin Yue from exiting the dungeon would coincidentally counter Qin Chuan's strongest trump card.

"Zila——"

A flash of purple lightning passed, and Lin Yue's figure instantly appeared beside Qin Chuan.

Around her original position, each Mythic Stage powerhouse was covered in wandering arcs of electricity, twitching and falling like dumplings.

Exchanging only a glance with Qin Chuan, Lin Yue's heart sank.

Although I don't know why, Qin Chuan's special ability that can instantly kill powerful opponents seems unusable.

"What astonishing power." The statue spoke calmly, "If I did not descend, you might really have succeeded."

"However, there's still time to make up for it." The statue paused, "Before I kill you two, I need to let you know my name."

"My name is…"

The statue suddenly burst forth with gray-brown flames, the blazing flames spewing in all directions, instantly enveloping heaven and earth in a sea of fire.

Rolling heat waves distorted space, in the terrifying high temperature that makes one's heart palpitate, a desperate and lifeless power is rapidly spreading.

Step by step walking out of the sea of fire, the statue's form has undergone a complete transformation.

He seemed to have completely turned into a flesh-and-blood body, black hair flying wildly, a gray-brown robe covering his body, and on his back grew a pair of wings formed from converging gray flames.

Like a demon god descending into the world, it is filled with a terrifying sense of oppression.

"Ember Evil God Parys!"

The moment the voice fell, Parys's body instantly vanished from its spot and appeared before Qin Chuan, gray flames gathering in his raised hand, then instantly slamming down toward Qin Chuan.

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, Qin Chuan, as if struck by lightning, flew backward and was swallowed by the sea of fire.

Parys took another step, his body again vanishing from the spot and appearing before Lin Yue, an energy cannon wrapped in gray flames grazing past Lin Yue's side, causing his brow to twitch slightly.

"An interesting player talent."

Caught off guard, Lin Yue, who had narrowly avoided being hit, suddenly changed expression, hesitated not, and flickered away, putting distance between himself and Parys.

"Hum—"

The whole heaven and earth instantly turned pitch black, a shadowy figure ghostly appearing behind Parys, a finger carrying a heart-pounding destructive power instantly pointing at Parys.

"Crack!"

In the darkness, Parys easily seized Qin Chuan's hand in the state of Pitch‑Night Hunter, watched as the opponent instantly turned into a cluster of black flames and vanished, and gave a slight shake of his head.

"Boom!!!"

The towering sea of fire instantly warped space, like a ferocious demon beast tearing apart the domain of darkness.

"Useless."

Watching Qin Chuan and Lin Yue reappear in the sea of fire, Parys leisurely withdrew his hand, squeezed his wrist, and said, "All your attacks are meaningless before me."

"Because I am at the Mythic Stage Second Realm."

"Even if the power you gained through special means lets you temporarily touch this level, you and I still have an essential difference."

"Mythic Stage… Second Realm?" Qin Chuan frowned tightly.

This was the first time he had heard of this rank, but from the literal meaning he could already roughly judge.

This should be the next level above the Mythic Stage in his understanding.

Ordinary Mythic Stage is the First Realm.

"Not bad." Parys, having fully unleashed his power, leisurely gazed at the two, his eyes showing the calm of a cat toying with a mouse, "The Mythic Stage Second Realm is the condition to achieve the goal of the First Level; one can only ascend to this rank after reaching the Second Level of the Heavenly Stairway."

"Compared to the Dream World, each step onto a new level of the Heavenly Stairway grants new permissions and power."

"The permissions of the First Level, you should have seen them."

"You mean… the ability to precisely control and adjust the limits of one's own power?" Lin Yue suddenly spoke.

"Not bad." Parys smiled slightly, "This is merely the most basic permission; one can obtain it upon reaching the First Level, even if one is not of the Mythic Stage."

"But the Second Level differs from the First." Parys spoke softly, "On the Second Level of the Heavenly Stairway, all beings are in the Mythic Stage Second Realm."

"The permission corresponding to the Second Level is enough to overturn strength completely." Speaking, Parys slowly raised his hand, "The time for answering questions is over."

"Bear!!!"

The towering sea of fire instantly fell silent, only a gray flame the size of a head rising in Parys's palm.

Qin Chuan and Lin Yue's expressions simultaneously became extremely solemn.

Within this flame, they felt a terrifying power far surpassing that of the previous sea of fire.

"I have clearly used my third talent." Lin Yue whispered in a voice only he and Qin Chuan could hear, "Why hasn't it taken effect."

Qin Chuan gripped Lin Yue's hand, his mind racing to think of countermeasures.

This so‑called Mythic Stage Second Realm truly exceeds his imagination in power.

The opponent clearly possesses strength close to theirs, yet…

Suddenly, a pale purple force like a heavy cannon swept across the sky, tore through the void, and blasted toward Parys from afar.

"Any reinforcements?"

Parys raised an eyebrow, grabbed the unknown‑origin attack with his other hand, clenched it in his palm, and then casually crushed it.

"Moon Spirit's power?"

Parys gave a low hum, his gaze toward the direction the attack came from, "Purple Moon Chief Priest?"

A Moon Spirit woman clad in purple gauze slowly appeared in the void outside the battle circle, her delicate features showing a gentle smile, behind her purple moonlight like a wheel, streaks appearing.

"Sorry, Ember Evil God, the life technique I was testing had some minor errors and deviations; I hope it didn't hurt you."

"At this time, you'd better hope it was a mistake." Parys gave a low hum, "If there's a next time, I'll kill you together."

He turned his gaze back to Qin Chuan and Lin Yue, the gray flame cradled in his raised hand becoming ever more frenzied.

"Now, let's continue."

Switching back to Spirit Descent·Blood Rage Strife, Qin Chuan and Lin Yue exchanged a glance, their eyes both flashing.

Just now, the Purple Moon Chief Priest who had suddenly appeared unleashed a strike at Parys.

At the moment Parys blocked that strike, the two simultaneously felt the terrifying power of that gray flame cluster drop by more than half.

Although the fluctuation of that power has now returned to its peak level, but…

They have already found a clue.

If this is the ability of the Second Level, then everything makes sense.

Why can an opponent whose strength is comparable to theirs in perception suppress them with an almost crushing momentum?

Because the opponent can instantly reallocate attributes.

At the moment of attack, other attributes can be transformed into attack.

At the moment of defense, other attributes can be transformed into defense.

This allows the opponent to obtain attributes far surpassing both of them in any desired aspect, thereby achieving an instantaneous crush.

Repeated instantaneous crushes bring about the final result of continuous crushing.

And the only way to break through the opponent's ability is…

"Split up."

Qin Chuan loosened his grip on Lin Yue's hand and spoke softly.

"Good." Lin Yue flickered and vanished from the spot; in the next instant she pulled far away from Palusi, firing a heavy cannon condensed with terrifying lightning at him.

"Did you realize?"

Facing the oncoming energy cannon that was suddenly within striking distance, Palusi's expression remained unchanged; the ashen flame in his hand burst forth with terrifying energy.

"Too bad, it's already a bit late."

The ashen flame, already charged, shot toward the sky‑filling lightning with a flick of Palusi's finger.

In the instant that the dreadful flame capable of burning the void to nothing met the lightning, the lightning vanished silently; even thunder could not escape this flame's burning.

In a mere instant, Lin Yue's full‑strength strike was obliterated into nothingness.

That ashen flame was about to continue moving under Palusi's control when a blood‑red afterimage streaked across the sky and instantly collided with him.

"Boom!!!"

Palusi raised his hand to block Qin Chuan, who came charging bathed in bloody light; the next instant his expression shifted slightly.

A lightning spear instantly pierced the ashen flame, whose power had been halved in the void.

As Palusi transferred some attributes to defense, the ashen flame lost its absolute crushing power; it dimmed at the moment the terrifying lightning exploded.

"Get out!!!"

Palusi let out a low shout, blasting Qin Chuan away while gesturing; the ashen flame flared up again and shot straight toward Lin Yue.

The void twisted in an instant, forming an intangible confinement that locked Lin Yue's body, preventing her from flashing away again.

After realizing that the duo's cooperation had revealed a loophole in his invincibility, Palusi decided to focus his power on eliminating one of them first.

"You dare!"

Qin Chuan's heart tightened; without hesitation he slashed at Palusi from afar.

Two streaks of blood light appeared simultaneously on his own body and on Palusi's.

Accompanying the loss of 20% of Qin Chuan's maximum HP, an equal amount of HP damage descended upon Palusi.

"Dragon King's Wrath Flame Strike!" Palusi's expression shifted slightly; he instantly raised his HP attribute to block the strike.

The power of the ashen flame waned again with Qin Chuan's move.

Moreover, after this decline its power did not fully recover.

Palusi's HP, in the moment of being raised, was cut by a portion from the Dragon King's Wrath Flame Strike!

This deficit cannot be transferred to attack before the lost HP is restored! Qin Chuan's eyes lit up.

Indeed, this guy is absolutely not invincible.

Meanwhile, Lin Yue stared at the rapidly enlarging ashen flame in her field of view, her lightning spear tightening silently; terrifying lightning swiftly gathered, having already prepared to substitute attack for defense.

Suddenly, her expression twitched slightly, and an intangible barrier shattered silently.

As it turned out, the effect of the third talent of Prayer of Life took hold here.

Lin Yue's expression suddenly relaxed, and her lightning spear silently dissipated.

"Spirit Descent·"

The surrounding void instantly shattered like glass, each fragment seeming to reflect an entirely new world.

Lin Yue's form existed in the world of each fragment; through the projections of countless fragments she converged, stepping into reality clad in white battle armor.

She raised high the staff tipped with a radiant gold crystal, then immediately pointed it at the ashen flame.

A wisp of ashen flame identical to it instantly appeared, rushing straight to meet it.

In the instant the two ashen flames annihilated each other, Lin Yue softly exhaled the unspoken name of Spirit Descent.

"Gilded Magnificent Scene!"

"You…"

Watching this, Palusi's pupils contracted violently, his expression turning to utter astonishment: "How is this possible…"

That was his ultimate strike after transferring nearly all his attributes into attribute power, capable of burning even the energy itself to ash.

How could the opponent so easily display the same ability?! "Nothing is impossible." A voice echoed softly.

Palusi turned around; a fist covered in bloody light rapidly enlarged in his vision.

"Boom!!!"

Accompanied by a low rumble, Palusi's body was instantly flung backward, crashing heavily onto the ground below; the earth shattered in a spider‑web of cracks, huge stones were lifted along the fissures, and the impact kicked up endless dust.

"Finally I can beat you, you bastard." Qin Chuan clenched his fists, feeling the surging power throughout his body, his crimson eyes filled with murderous intent.

Superpower‑system theory is extremely abstract; even Lin Yue couldn't grasp it at first glance, so she and Xiao Bai had already reached 100% affinity over a month ago, yet still failed to comprehend the full profundity and master the Spirit Descent ability.

Now, this threshold has finally been crossed under the boost of Prayer of Life's third talent and the pressure from Palusi.

Lin Yue mastering Xiao Bai's Spirit Descent holds an extraordinarily unusual significance for both of them.

Because Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei possess the exclusive trait "Dragon Descendant".

【Dragon Descendant: When a spirit beast with the Dragon Descendant trait exists nearby, racial value increases by 50%】

This ability can also be triggered under Spirit Descent, and the increase is no longer racial value but transcendent value.

Originally, under the Spirit Descent state, the two individuals whose transcendent value had already broken through the twenty-million mark, with the further blessing of Dragon Descendant, their transcendent value directly broke through the thirty-million mark.

The disadvantage that existed when facing Paliusi no longer exists now.

Watching Paliusi struggle and fly out from the smoke and dust, Qin Chuan let out a low grunt, flickered his form, instantly appearing before the opponent, and threw another punch.

"Boom!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!!"

Under consecutive rapid attacks, Paliusi's aura swiftly declined until it became barely detectable.

Qin Chuan flickered his form, with one hand seized the neck of the nearly shattered Paliusi, lifting him from the cracked ground, and said, "A bit late? Where is it late?"

"You..." Paliusi's expression carried a hint of ferocity, "Human race, even if you shatter this body, you cannot harm my true form in the slightest."

"Do you think this is my strength?"

"This is merely the portion of power I can descend with under the limitation of the First Level."

"I will wait for you at the Second Level; the moment you set foot there will be your time of death."

Lin Yue folded her dragon wings and landed beside Qin Chuan, calmly saying, "You are not our match now; even when we ascend to the Second Level of the Heavenly Stairway, you will still not be our match."

Qin Chuan's brows slightly furrowed.

What Paliusi said is not false; this is merely the opponent's temporary descended body, which cannot inflict great harm on him, at most causing relatively larger loss.

After all, crafting such a body is definitely not cheap.

Just let the opponent arrogantly spout harsh words like that?

He was just thinking of a way to make the opponent pay a heavy price, but seeing Paliusi's expression, which had still been arrogant and contemptuous a second ago, suddenly turn fearful.

"Ke... Kelaiyi?!"

His voice suddenly filled with terror, a hint of azure at the space between his brows rapidly expanded, forming a blue crescent moon.

At the moment the crescent moon insignia blossomed, Paliusi's body turned to ash just like that.

Looking at the faint debris remaining in his hand, Qin Chuan stood frozen in place.

Kelaiyi? He abruptly turned his head, scanning the surroundings, searching for that figure from his memory.

"Lord Kelaiyi is not here." A voice floated over; the Purple Moon Chief Priest approached from afar, smiling at Qin Chuan and the others, "Do not try to trace her whereabouts."

"Except for me, the last seat among the Nine Chief Priests, the other eight Chief Priests are all at the Second Level."

"What was that power just now?" Qin Chuan couldn't help but ask.

"Lord Kelaiyi took action against the true form of the Yujinyaoshen." The Purple Moon Chief Priest still kept her smile, "Projecting power from the Second Level down to the First Level is an extremely difficult feat for a Second Realm of the Mythic Stage."

"During this process, the true form of the Yujinyaoshen will fall into an unprecedentedly weak state."

"As long as we locate and slay the Yujinyaoshen, his projection will likewise collapse due to losing its source of power."

"This is the deterrence and attitude of my Moon Spirit Clan." The Purple Moon Chief Priest's voice grew slightly stern, "We will absolutely not allow a Second Realm to descend to the First Level, affecting the conquest of the SSS-level dungeon."

Kelaiyi acted against Paliusi at the Second Level, causing the Second Realm's evil god to be deleted on the spot?

Qin Chuan digested the massive amount of information, remaining dazed for half a day.

"Thank you." Lin Yue beside him gently pulled Qin Chuan's hand, looking at the Purple Moon Chief Priest, "How should we address you?"

"Purple Moon Chief Priest·Maxiya." Maxiya gave a slight smile.

"Maxiya, thank you for your intervention just now." Lin Yue spoke softly, "Without your reminder, we probably would still not have discovered the true nature of Paliusi's ability."

"It was merely a coincidence." Maxiya spoke softly, "I happened to be not far from here, so I could lend you a hand."

"Moreover, what I did isn't much."

"You humans have just come into contact with the Heavenly Stairway; some things will put you at a disadvantage due to information gaps, but once you truly familiarize yourselves with this place, even without my help there will be no problem."

"No matter what, we still need to thank you." Qin Chuan, having regained his composure, asked, "May I ask why other races are so hostile toward us humans?"

"And... why does the Moon Spirit Clan help humans?"

"This question is related to the most fundamental rule of the Heavenly Stairway." Maxiya spoke softly.

"In your real world, one day the so-called world update and dream world suddenly appeared, and then with each update, the power of the dream world gradually influenced the real world, ultimately leading to the descent of the dungeon, right?"

"That's right." Qin Chuan nodded, at the same time somewhat surprised.

Maxiya is practically as if she had lived on Blue Star before.

"Don't be surprised, because every race here has had similar experiences." Maxiya's voice paused slightly, "The only difference lies in the power of the dream world."

"Each real world has its own dream world rules and power system."

"The divergence among races is largely related to this."

"Every thousand years, a brand-new race emerges for a world update."

Qin Chuan's pupils contracted slightly.

Although he had already guessed this from the fragmentary words leaked by Dalamu Sai, receiving confirmation from Maxiya still left him utterly shocked.

Selecting a race every thousand years for a world update? It's as if a hand spins the wheel of fate merely for the enjoyment of some pleasure, quite casually.

Wait…

The Moon Spirit Clan seems to have a history of nearly ten thousand years, so why are there only six races on the Heavenly Stairway now?

Seeing Qin Chuan's doubt, Maxiya let out a faint sigh.

"Not every race has the ability to ultimately reach the Heavenly Stairway."

"In the past ten thousand years, three races have failed."

"Of those, two could not survive the dungeon stage, and were respectively invaded by the Half Demon Clan and the Nether Ghost Clan in the material world, who seized the world's origin."

"When the world's origin is taken away, the corresponding material world can no longer recover transcendent power, the original vitality will also be greatly diminished, and the environment becomes harsh."

And the race that obtains the world's origin will see the material world further expand, the supernatural powers they can possess will increase accordingly, and it will become easier for supernaturals to appear.

Half-demons and wandering ghosts are currently the most numerous races on the Heavenly Stairway.

Then… is there also a defeated race?" Lin Yue asked subconsciously.

That race…" Ma Xi Ya's voice paused slightly, "They ascended the Heavenly Stairway but lost the 'Gatekeeper,' ultimately causing the Dream World to collapse, and all supernatural powers disappeared."

Although it's somewhat better than the previous two races, they ultimately still have no chance to reach the Heavenly Stairway.

'Gatekeeper'?" Qin Chuan raised an eyebrow, "What is that?"

Your next world update condition should be the first player breaking through myth, right?" Ma Xi Ya countered with a question, "After the next update, you will gain the qualification to ascend the Heavenly Stairway."

At that time, the update announcement will tell you what the 'Gatekeeper' is.

I can only remind you of one thing.

Before breaking through myth, please make thorough preparations.

That's getting off track." Ma Xi Ya shook her head and chuckled, "The reason other races target you is very simple."

Because all races on the Heavenly Stairway are in competition.

【243】 Every ten thousand years, the Heavenly Stairway experiences a Race War once.

Every ten thousand years, the Heavenly Stairway will undergo a Race War.

The races that have ascended the Heavenly Stairway will compete in this war to determine the sole victor.

The victor will obtain the 'Smile of the Gods.'" Ma Xi Ya's voice paused slightly, "You don't need to ask me what the 'Smile of the Gods' is.

No one can answer that question.

Only the true victor has the right to know.

But many races on the Heavenly Stairway speculate that it is related to immortality.

Immortality…" Qin Chuan frowned slightly.

It turns out that the ultimate goal sought by the many races of the Heavenly Stairway is this? At this moment, he finally understood why almost all races hope for the Human Race to fail.

Because the Human Race failed to ascend the Heavenly Stairway, they have one less competitor.

Then, what is the fate of the losers?

Ma Xi Ya looked at Qin Chuan, and after a moment spoke softly.

Extermination.

Extermination?!" Lin Yue's face turned pale in an instant, and she suddenly looked at Ma Xi Ya, "Then why does the Moon Spirit help us?"

Don't you mind having an additional competitor?

Of course not." Ma Xi Ya smiled wryly, "Because we are the first race to have ascended the Heavenly Stairway.

In order to prevent us from extinguishing the hope of all subsequent races to ascend the Heavenly Stairway, to directly obtain the final victory in the Race War after ten thousand years, and to ensure this war has sufficient racial participation, we possess a special right and its corresponding obligation.

This right is: the Moon Spirit Clan, if they lose in the Race War, will only lose all supernatural abilities but will not be exterminated.

And the corresponding obligation is: the Moon Spirit Clan must strive to help each subsequent race ascend the Heavenly Stairway.
