~13 min read 2,454 words

The images before Su Xiao's eyes flashed one after another. The Moon Wolf's soul memory was too vast, and because the Moon Wolf had been dead for many years, the long-standing soul memory became fragmented. Su Xiao only chose to intercept a part, a part related to the abyss, the Athos family, and Emperor Taiya.

In the Moon Wolf's soul memory, the Athos family, Emperor Taiya, etc., were both deeply remembered and appeared insignificant.

The scene before Su Xiao's eyes turned into a first-person perspective. This was the scene the Moon Wolf had seen back then.

On the ice field, snow filled the sky. A team of pedestrians walked out from the flying snow. The leader was dressed in luxury, with a small mustache on his chin, and those eyes were very sharp, like a hunting hawk.

"Great existence, I am Athos Baken, here to visit."

The leader, that is, Athos Baken, knelt on one knee, his hand pressed on his chest, lowering his head to show respect.

"Human, this is not a place you should come to. Go back. I will not participate in your disputes. Just treat me as the moon in the sky. A thousand years have passed; you don't need to fear me. We are all elemental guardians."

The Moon Wolf stood in the wind and snow. Its body size in wolf form at that time was very large, with a body length of dozens of meters, standing there like a mountain in the cold wind.

"Supreme existence, we are here to seek the Abyss Hole."

Athos Baken's head pressed even lower, almost sticking to the ground.

"Do not pry into the power of the abyss. Although power has no good or evil, living beings do. The power of the abyss represents the extremes of two poles. If you have good thoughts in your heart, it is light; if you have evil in your heart, it is dark."

The Moon Wolf looked down at Athos Baken and the others, as if sighing. It knew that these people wouldn't give up easily.

"The power of the abyss has been polluted somewhere in this world. The things born in the center of the pollution are what you know as misfortune objects. This is the beginning of misfortune. Do you want to see the world you are in crumble into dust?"

While the Moon Wolf was speaking, moonlight gathered above it, forming a picture: countless living beings were wailing, the earth was collapsing, and the sky was swallowed by darkness, a scene of doomsday and despair.

"The limit you can reach is not enough to pry into the abyss. Isn't it a very lucky thing to reproduce generation after generation? Why bother to seek things you cannot control? The extraordinary of this world is enough for you to explore for ten thousand years. Nothing is more brilliant than civilization. Cherish everything you have now. If one day, an evil god exists and descends, I will protect you, even if I die in battle in this world, I will not hesitate. This is the oath I made with my allies."

The Moon Wolf's voice drifted away with the cold wind. The surrounding temperature became even colder. Athos Baken and the others shouted something, but the Moon Wolf ignored them, and Athos Baken and the others could only retreat.

The soul memory blurred for a moment, and then someone else came to the Far South Cold Land. This person was burly, wearing an iron-black crown, and sitting on a steel carriage pulled by thousands of slaves.

The steel carriage stopped, and one slave after another knelt on the snow. The king on the carriage stepped down, and finally, he stopped in the howling wind and snow.

After hesitating for a long time, this person took off the crown on his head, intending to kneel on one knee.

"You are the king of the human race, the creator of civilization. You don't need to kneel to me. Human king, you came to find me, what for?"

The Moon Wolf stopped in the wind and snow ahead, its huge body looming, very majestic.

"Supreme existence, I am Taiya Odi, the ruler of the Taiya civilization."

Emperor Taiya lowered his head slightly, showing his respect for the Moon Wolf.

"Are you also here to seek the Abyss Hole?"

"Of course not, the Abyss Hole will only bring disaster."

"Then you came here, what for?"

"Supreme existence, I am here to visit."

Emperor Taiya waved his hand while speaking, and one slave after another carried gifts into the wind and snow.

The Moon Wolf narrowed its eyes. It didn't care about these gifts, and humans in this world came here too frequently. Ever since the Abyss Hole appeared in this world, it had been suppressing it and couldn't easily leave the Far South Cold Land.

Emperor Taiya's visit was just a small episode in the Moon Wolf's long watch, and it didn't care. But one day, a meteorite cut through the sky.

This made the Moon Wolf feel strong ominousness. Even if it was it, it had to fight with everything to resist this ominousness.

When the Moon Wolf arrived at the landing point of the extraterrestrial meteorite, the meteorite had already been transported away. At that time, the Moon Wolf had two choices: 1. Ignore the Abyss Hole in the Far South and go find this meteorite. If so, it wouldn't be long before the Abyss Hole would form a black hole vortex that swallowed everything, and with this point as the center, it would tear this world to pieces.

2. Return to the Far South Cold Land and continue to suppress the Abyss Hole. According to its estimation, after a few hundred years, the Abyss Hole would gradually disappear.

This world had special significance to the Moon Wolf. It was precisely in this place that the Moon Wolf clan met the Law Destroyers who came to hunt ancient gods. Both sides were looking for that ancient god, and they looked at each other quite favorably, so they acted together, which led to the alliance later.

The Law Destroyer era had ended, and the Moon Wolf clan was left with only itself. It didn't want to see this place collapse.

It chose a compromise method: the true body went back to suppress the Abyss Hole, and the clone went to find the meteorite. The result was that its clone found the meteorite, but the things inside were gone.

In the subsequent days of searching, the Moon Wolf didn't find the things hidden in the meteorite. All clues were cut off by a certain force with cruel means.

The Moon Wolf's speculation at that time was that the things hidden in the meteorite were either in the hands of many kingdoms in the Southern Continent, or mastered by the Athos family, or obtained by the ruler of another continent, Emperor Taiya.

Please don't think the Moon Wolf had a good temper. The things hidden in the meteorite made the Moon Wolf feel danger. It went to the representatives of the kingdoms, the patriarch of the Athos family, and Emperor Taiya, asking about the whereabouts of that ominous thing.

The result was that no one admitted it. The Moon Wolf didn't say anything, and the clone returned to the Far South Cold Land. After that, its true body, at the cost of a certain price, successfully completely suppressed the Abyss Hole, and the time could be maintained for about half a month.

For the Moon Wolf, half a month was enough. Since the negotiation was ineffective, it would destroy the rulers of the kingdoms, the Athos family, and the Taiya civilization. After these rulers died, a new batch of rulers would appear. Due to the destruction of the previous power, the new batch of rulers would inevitably hand over that ominous thing to protect themselves.

The Moon Wolf hadn't set off yet when the thing it worried about most happened. Countless nematodes swarmed over. These nematodes absorbed the power of the abyss that was drifting in this world and hadn't been absorbed by the world, and launched a siege on the Moon Wolf.

Those nematodes had a main body. In the end, the Moon Wolf stepped on the main body of the nematode. This was the ominous thing that descended with the meteorite.

The origin of this thing, the Moon Wolf guessed roughly. It was very likely that in a certain world, someone abused the power of the abyss, eventually causing evil consequences, allowing the main body of the nematode to absorb a large amount of power of the abyss, and then reproduce at a terrifying speed.

Before the main body of this nematode came to this world, it had already devoured all living beings in many worlds, growing to this extent. This thing was attracted by the power of the abyss. The difficulty of this thing almost reached the level of a mid-to-high-level void alien existence.

If it were in the past, the Moon Wolf only needed to ask for help, and a Law Destroyer would come here to remove this nematode main body and kill everyone who plotted this matter. Unfortunately, at that time, the Law Destroyer era had already ended.

In the end, the Moon Wolf solved this ominous thing, but it was too severely injured, almost to the point of dying. Coupled with the long-term suppression of the Abyss Hole, the Abyss Hole brought backlash at this time.

It was under these circumstances that Emperor Taiya led people to attack, and after surrounding and attacking the Moon Wolf with human-sea tactics for several years, the Moon Wolf, who was already severely injured, died in battle here.

After that, Emperor Taiya took away the large piece of solid ice the Moon Wolf used to seal the Abyss Hole, as well as the Abyss Hole inside. In fact, it was Emperor Taiya who ordered people to take away the ominous thing in the meteorite, which was the main body of the nematode, and fed it with his subjects, with the purpose of dealing with the Moon Wolf.

Emperor Taiya couldn't bear an outsider he couldn't confront living somewhere in this world. This made him feel like he was on pins and needles every moment. He was worried that the power he had seized through tyranny would arouse the disgust of that powerful existence, thereby killing him.

This was typical of doing too many bad things. In Emperor Taiya's view, the existence of the Moon Wolf was an uncontrollable danger.

In name, Emperor Taiya was to eliminate uncontrollable existences. In reality, he was craving the Abyss Hole. That was unimaginable power. With this power, all living beings would kneel at his feet.

The ideal was plump, but after the Moon Wolf died, the evil consequences came. Emperor Taiya couldn't control the Abyss Hole. His empire fell apart within a few days, his subjects became barbaric, bloodthirsty, and tyrannical, and he himself never dared to stand under the moonlight. That was unimaginable torture. The moonlight was spitting on him, as if pulling out every blood vessel in his body, lifting his skull, twisting his soul, and tearing his skin off strip by strip.

The Athos family, who had once cooperated with Emperor Taiya, also tasted the evil consequences. The babies born to all direct bloodlines of their family were half-human, half-wolf stillborns. No matter what method they used to save them, they couldn't make up for this evil consequence.

The Athos family knelt down. They came to the Far South Cold Land in the most humble posture, setting up stone tablets one after another. They even tried to resurrect the Moon Wolf, but everything was in vain.

Not many years later, the Athos family was about to become extinct. The last family member exhausted his family wealth to establish the Holy Knights, hoping that the Holy Knights could inherit the Moon Wolf's will, guard this world, and clean up misfortune objects, which were the current dangerous objects.

Even so, the Holy Knights were also full of misfortune, experiencing internal division, civil war, and the defection of more than half of the personnel.

Until later, the Holy Knights split into the Third Research Institute and the Eternal Night Church, still bearing the evil consequences of that year.

After many more years, the Third Research Institute was renamed the Containment Agency, and the Eternal Night Church was renamed the Eclipse organization. After experiencing many changes of rulers, they finally completely got rid of the misfortune from the Holy Knights.

By now, the Containment Agency and the Eclipse organization have experienced the changes of many eras and have no connection with the Athos family. The name Eclipse organization itself is a worship of the Moon Wolf. After the eclipse, only the existence of the moon remains.

If an ancient god appears in this world, the Containment Agency and the Eclipse organization must be the ones standing at the very front, just like the Moon Wolf back then.

The Athos family knelt down and thought of various ways to make up for it, but they still became extinct. As for Emperor Taiya, he also regretted it a bit at first, but things had already reached this point, so he simply went all the way, setting up a stone tablet in the Far South Cold Land to boost his majesty as a dictator of the Taiya civilization.

Emperor Taiya looked majestic, but in order to stabilize the Abyss Hole, he made the entire continent where the Taiya civilization was located fall into barrenness. After completely understanding what the Abyss Hole was, he regretted it from the bottom of his heart, but he never showed it. In historical records, all the deeds of Emperor Taiya were correct; he was the emperor who defeated the evil wolf and guarded the thing that could destroy the world.

After all, no one would let the stupid things they had done be spread out. Even if they knew it was wrong, they had to bite it to death.

What's even more chilling is that to this day, the offspring left behind after the nematode died still exist on the continent where the Taiya civilization is located, residing in the bodies of every living being there.

Su Xiao's hand was still pressed on the end of the Moonlight Sword's hilt. He opened his eyes. He basically understood the situation. The current Emperor Taiya might not be dead yet. After all, the other party had absorbed the power of the abyss.

The Abyss Hole was with Emperor Taiya. For Su Xiao, the situation was already simple and clear: go kill Emperor Taiya.
