Chapter 438: Recorded History (2600+)

Regarding the ill-intentioned "Bone Crow," Aaron directly chose to kill it and perform spirit channeling.

As for why he deliberately exposed the identity of the "Feathered Serpent," it was merely a casual act before leaving, to help attract fire for Dailisi, Mao Nvshi, and the others.

……

The Spirit World.

After channeling the memories of the "Bone Crow," Aaron only then learned that although "Dawn" is the Controller who rules the Spirit World, he has not spread his radiance to every corner of the Spirit World.

He can only control most areas; in some secret realms and dangerous places, his gaze is still difficult to penetrate.

This is because there are several Controllers who have been maneuvering against him.

"The Controllers of the Main World are all too devious. They are truly all best-actor level; whether human or ghost, everyone is acting. Only a fool would take it seriously!"

"Controller — 'Dawn'!"

Aaron lowered his voice and spoke the name of the other party. Although directly looking at an existence of such a level would cause even the Fifth Primordial Substance to be polluted and lose control, he possessed the status of a "Spirit of Falsehood," so he was completely unconstrained.

"Even so... with these three combined, it could be comparable to half of the 【Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood】, becoming a combat power at the half-Controller Level, right?"

Thump, thump!

Aaron used the ability of the "Gatekeeper" to trace back into past history.

Unaccountably, Aaron thought of the Imperial Army and the guerrillas, feeling it was quite fitting.

Clearly, in the face of death, madness is not unacceptable.

Among them were broken, terrifying giant cocoons, inexplicable black shadows with spread wings, and a distorted human figure without a face.

The images in the History Mist were quite blurry; one could only see this sun vaguely chasing something.

At the edge of the lake, the largest Gumon giant leader appeared to be roaring at the sky; its body was withered and thin, its hair all white, as if it had experienced the scouring of terrifying historical time and had aged to death...

He saw... a true Chunbaitaiyang!

A cobalt-blue mist, so faint it was almost invisible to the naked eye, rose up.

The past may not be able to be changed, but it can be "watched"!

Wisps of History Mist emerged from Aaron's body and merged into the surroundings.

'Of course... most areas of the Spirit World are under control. Lingering too long where the White Tower can be seen—my previous encounter is a cautionary tale.'

It was like a faithful recorder, recording a historical image of the Spirit World.

The state of "Dawn" was also very strange.

He saw... "Mother of Night" let out a crazy howl and swallowed a large snake with a blood-red, broken torso that revealed ghastly white bones.

Aaron's inspiration spread, staring intently at this historical image.

Controller — "Mother of Night"!

"Could this be... in the history of the Spirit World... the battle scene between 'Dawn' and 'Mother of Night'? Hmm... Mao Nvshi also mentioned it; Motula is truly bold to have actually recorded this scene? Sigh... although he is a recorder of history, seeing things one shouldn't see makes it very easy for trouble to occur."

The void, which had been empty, suddenly produced some changes.

"How did he expose it?"

Aaron saw that the night sky became quiet and dangerous, emitting wisps of blood-colored light, opening one crazy eye after another, and then actively merging with another existence!

He is — the Hidden Existence "Underworld Moon"!

After devouring this Hidden Existence, a scarlet Moon suddenly appeared in the pitch-black Night Curtain!

And above that Moon, a phantom of a Xuerou Mutshu vaguely appeared!

Aaron felt his heartbeat begin to accelerate, and his Furnace Core was trembling slightly...

Aaron arrived before a patch of History Mist, his expression slightly cryptic.

"No... that's not right. According to what 'Raven' said, the main body of the 【Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood】 is still sleeping; 'Mother of Night' is just an avatar of hers!"

Aaron looked to the other side of history.

Aaron watched, heart racing and mind swaying, and gave rise to many puzzles: "Driven to a desperate situation, 'Mother of Night' swallowed her own child and 'Underworld Moon'... at the cost of madness, to let the 【Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood】 revive?"

As a leader of the Gumon giants, a Mythical Creature with the status of "Changsheng," dying of old age is simply a joke!

But now, the joke was being performed in reality.

That was her own child, the Controller — "Lord of Hidden Corpses"!

"Lord of Hidden Corpses" was born by the Controller 【Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood】 to exclude pollution and madness, but at certain times, his fusion with "Mother of Night" could lead to the revival of 【Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood】!

This was secret knowledge Aaron had learned in the Main World.

This secret was originally well-hidden, but in this layer of history, it was "Mother of Night" who actively exposed it.

He transformed into half a "Gatekeeper," passed through layers of History Mist, and saw a forest like emerald.

Aaron saw this scene, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead: "What 'Mother of Night' and 'Underworld Moon' are allies? They are simply different masks of the same existence, aren't they? Raven told me to be careful of 'Underworld Moon,' but in reality, that means being careful of 'Mother of Night,' being careful of 【Mother Tree of Flesh and Blood】!"

Immediately, the scene fell into darkness again.

"I didn't expect... the Lingjie Mizheng in the 'Bone Crow's' memories was actually here."

"The 'Motula' of this world didn't hide it well; his lair was raided by the Keeper of Secrets..."

At this time, the forest was mostly broken, and various huge bones and corpses lay on the ground.

Controllers — "Broken Cocoon," "Raven," and "Faceless One"!

"'Dawn' devoured these three Controllers of different Controller lineages?"

"According to what 'Bone Crow' said, there is a remnant of historical memory here..."

"This could still lose? Could it be..."

These are... the corpses of Gumon giants!

"This doesn't look like something 'Dawn' did; it looks more like—the Keeper of Secrets!"

"Mother of Night" chose to devour her own child to fight the most powerful "Dawn"!

No, not only that!

No!

That is not darkness, but a pitch-black Night Curtain!

He sees the blazing sun Rend the Night Curtain, occupying the absolute upper hand!

"Damn! The Witch Sisterhood are all liars!"

That round of Chunbaitaiyang radiates endless brilliance, and within that brilliance, it is as if countless souls and lives are being created, born, growing, and singing!

Inside the sun, within layer upon layer of brilliance, several Shadows emerge.

Aaron's expression is wooden as he walks toward the lake where Motula resides, discovering that the lake water has dried up, the lake bottom is full of foul-smelling, corrupted silt, and there is not a trace of cobalt-blue mist left.

"Or... is it enslavement, control?"

The next moment, Aaron sees everything being contained by Chunbaitaiyang, and that dazzling brilliance is thus tainted with wisps of Scarlet.

Chunbaitaiyang transforms into half a Scarlet sun!

Carrying the Scarlet brilliance, it erupts violently, Rending the Night Curtain, Rending the Moon, and even the phantom of the Xuerou Mutshu upon it!

Even... that Scarlet radiance follows the Mysterious connection of the History Mist, arriving above the Secret lake, causing the giant human face of Motula to let out a scream!
