Chapter 780 - 346
The one who appeared before my eyes was actually Murong Zhen!?The eyes of the Chu Monarch narrowed slightly, tinged with a hint of surprise.
At this moment, the aura emanating from Murong Zhen was completely different from before.
Ancient and obscure, as if from a prehistoric world, his eyes calm and devoid of any emotional hue.
As he walked, the surrounding gray fog parted, and countless pale flames burned and prostrated before him.
"Ancient God’s Apostle."
The Chu Monarch slowly spoke.
She recognized Murong Zhen’s current state.
Murong Zhen raised his hand slightly, his movements slow and elegant.
"Apostle under the Throne of the God of Pain, Murong Zhen, at your service, Miss Chu Monarch of the Moon God Manor."
The Chu Monarch remained expressionless, a hint of apprehension in her eyes.
Every Ancient God has its distinct symbol and source of power, but undoubtedly, each symbol is hard for ordinary people in the present world to comprehend.
The God of Pain, as its name suggests, reveals the source of the power behind Murong Zhen’s Ancient God.
"So, you’re the reason for the projection manifesting from the Purple Moon Cave?"
The Chu Monarch spoke.
Murong Zhen maintained a calm expression, "My god wishes to descend upon Hongze; this is merely the first step of the divine miracle."
The Chu Monarch let out a cold laugh, "Seeking sainthood is seeking sainthood. There’s no need to pretend to be so loyal and devoted; it’s disgusting to watch."
Murong Zhen’s face twitched slightly.
Clearly, the Chu Monarch had struck a chord.
In fact, he had been stuck in the Semi-Saint realm for nearly a thousand years; in his near madness to achieve sainthood,
he regarded the news of the Fallen Star Valley with a chance of sainthood as a lifeline. Although he spent many years in the Fallen Star Valley without encountering the opportunity for sainthood, he serendipitously came into contact with an ancient Ancient God.
In his fervent desire to become a Saint, he without hesitation became an Apostle of the Ancient God, providing the coordinates of Hongze to the Pain Spirit God in the starry sky.
As for the reason behind the projection of the Purple Moon Cave,
he wasn’t sure.
But from some earlier interactions, he vaguely felt that this Ancient God had some connection with Han Cuo in the starry sky.
Whether friend or foe, he couldn’t judge.
Nor did it concern him.
But an Ancient God of the supreme realm was enough to grant him the opportunity for sainthood, and that was enough.
...
Within the Fallen Saint Land.
Xu Guang frowned as he looked at the minotaur creature in the distance.
According to the token given to him by Chu Monarch, this should be the Holy Fall Land of the predecessor from the Moon God Manor.
The creature before him was the embodiment of its holy grace and magical thoughts, similar to the three-eyed jiao and the three-headed monsters encountered before.
However...
This creature seemed to possess intelligence.
Especially when Xu Guang produced the token given by the Chu Monarch, its gaze at Xu Guang even faintly held a hint of curiosity.
He carefully drew out the Killing Tower, ready to suppress the creature at any moment while meticulously surveying his surroundings.
Once he confirmed the creature harbored no malice, he tentatively ventured into the cave behind the beast.
There were no remnants, but something else was present.
It was a ring engraved with the insignia of the Moon God Manor.
Faintly, Xu Guang felt an impending sense of danger.
Instinctively, he retrieved the token given by the Chu Monarch.
The cavern was enveloped in silence.
Entirely different from before.
Xu Guang pondered.
The power of a Saint determines the strength of the remnants they can leave behind after death.
Quite logical.
Retrieving his findings, Xu Guang carefully made his exit.
And then...
The minotaur creature startled him.
It was squatting at the cave’s entrance, its clear eyes glinting with a hint of curiosity.
Xu Guang pondered for a moment; this creature... seemed truly intelligent.
Perhaps it could become an asset.
This Fallen Saint Land holds many fallen Saints; with this creature’s assistance, obtaining what remains of those Saints could be a substantial gain.
...
"So, what is your purpose in meeting me?"
The Chu Monarch spoke.
Throughout the history of Hongze, many Apostles of Ancient Gods from the starry sky have appeared; they might be there to aid the Ancient God’s ascension, provide coordinates of Hongze to the starry Ancients, or fulfill personal ambitions.
In short, each has their motives.
Murong Zhen, having hidden for so many years, appearing before her, surely has his agenda.
Murong Zhen’s face showed a smile.
His smile was peculiar, clear as if smiling but devoid of any emotional fluctuation, seemingly a counterfeit smile.
He opened his mouth slowly, his voice no longer Murong Zhen’s original elder sound, but a mixture of myriad echoes, neither male nor female, directly resonating in the depths of the soul.
"In pain, see my god."
Soon after, the Chu Monarch felt everything around her change. Not a spatial shift, but... time!
Time, from a calmly flowing river, suddenly morphed into a tumultuous, roaring waterfall, rushing forward wildly and irresistibly!
In a fleeting moment, the Chu Monarch seemed to endure an extended passage of time.
Her complexion transformed drastically; through the relentless waves of time, she faintly sensed in the abyss, an ancient, terrifying presence focusing its gaze on her!
...
The one who appeared before my eyes was actually Murong Zhen!?
The eyes of the Chu Monarch narrowed slightly, tinged with a hint of surprise.
At this moment, the aura emanating from Murong Zhen was completely different from before.
