Chapter 513 Beautiful Moonlight
In the silence, a fire burned in the Sacred City.
Although the demons were no longer there, the chaos continued.
However, through the door of the shop, the turbulence and changes seed to have already disappeared.
It was like staring at the world through an oil painting. There seed to be big waves that could reach the sky, but those were still far away.
The noises and screaming in the distance highlighted the tranquility and serenity in the shop. All disasters and misfortunes were far away from here. Only the warm fire was burning and making people feel sleepy.
However, a lonely shadow was still standing in front of the shop window.
The white-haired young girl looked up at the sky silently and intently. She was staring at the white moon that slowly disappeared, and a figure that was as majestic as a god against the Holy Emblem.
In heaven, the projection of nti burned off. The scorching artificial sun lost its radiance and beca the moon again, recovering its softness and quietness. The moonlight flowed like water.
She seed to be relieved, and a slight grin lingered on her tight lips. She couldn't help reaching out and touching the window, as if she could touch the the figure that was so far away from her.
In the reflection of the moonlight, she felt satisfied and relieved.
"How beautiful the moonlight is!" she whispered.
"Bai Xi, your attention is misplaced."
On the sofa, Hers lazily waved his hand. "Here is the center of the battlefield. Don't get it wrong! If you can't move your eyes from him at such a young age, you will definitely be locked up by him after several years. Don't tell that you will never get married if he is not the groom. As an apprentice, you are losing face for your master!"
The response was an antique flying towards him.
Hers smirked, tipped his head, and let the golden candlestick pass by his ears. Then it was nailed the counter, and rang.
He waved, and the scene in front of the window suddenly changed.
The shop window shone through layers of barriers in the sky, and got into the center of the Aether World where she saw two giants fighting against each other and countless turbulent changes of music theories.
Like sitting in a special box in the theater, she could see all the changes up there.
"After so many years, they finally fight again. It's really worthy celebrating," Hers shouted wearily. "Bai Xi, go take a bottle of wine from my rack. Let us celebrate for them."
Bai Xi didn't move, but stood in front of the window. She looked up at the two huge and horrible silhouettes in the aether sea with surprise.
After a long ti, she frowned.
"Is that… what God is?"
"Why not?" Hers asked, and laughed strangely. "When you ntion God, will you take it for granted that a god is soone who can fly and cast lightning over the sky? And even has a halo over his head? Or a pair of big wings on his back?
"This kind of setting was quite popular during the Renaissance period which was a hundred years ago. Hmm, it was a trend that I started after all. All the people who painted murals copied my settings at that ti. I really miss that."
After he pondered for a long while, he shrugged and said regretfully, "What a pity, Bai Xi. I doodled it for money… How could God be like a human being? They are different from humans.
"They are completely different in shape, nature, and level. The relationship between them is opposite to what humans thought it would be. From another perspective, it may be considered as that between... 'cause' and 'result.'"
"Oh."
Bai Xi responded to him with no interest, which made Hers swallow the words he was going to say. He was awkward, and sighed after drinking half a glass of wine.
"...Bai Xi, as a student and an apprentice, you should show more curiosity to that."
"Oh." Bai Xi glanced at him: "If you have anything to say, just speak up! Otherwise, leave alone."
"Ok." Hers scratched his head. Despite being the student, Bai Xi still treated him like that for so reason. His desire of expression and explanation overca his urge for the dignity of a master. He suddenly beco exultant, as he began to explain. "We'll just skip the details, and then we'll have to talk about another thing that happened before—"
Bai Xi interrupted him. "Make it brief!"
"How badly do you want to see him…?"
Hers saw the thing that Bai Xi took in her hand before he finished the sentence. Thus he put up his hand and surrendered. "Wait, I'll make it brief. Don't throw it! It is the skull of the first King of the Black! The only one in the world! I'm hoping to sell it for my annuity!"
"Just go ahead..."
"Alright, alright."
Hers shook his head and sighed.
"Mankind has indeed found the Holy Caldron that lead them to the Originator, and created a god. But the specific process is not like what is said in the Holy Bible. Man and god didn't make a covenant by rainbow on the cliff...
"It's more like alchemy... Anyway, that's also what I made up. In short, humans created a vector in the Originator through the Holy Caldron. As a result, the Qing ascended and the Zhuo descended.
"The ascender was shaped as the God, but the God is incomplete, because he does not even have his own consciousness. In other words, people stripped the consciousness of the God on purpose."
"On purpose?"
"Yes, on purpose."
A quizzical smile appeared on the corner of Hers' mouth. "After all, who would like to have sothing above their heads that made arrogant remarks or criticized them?
"It can be said that the position of God is only a useless throne. Although it does exist, it has no aning. Therefore, it is appropriate to call it a Holy Caldron, because it is empty inside.
"Those who descended gathered together and beca the Hyaku. Compared to the Holy Cauldron, the dark world is the place where the demons of the world are gathered. The Hyaku produced a goal because of its self-existence. Hyaku is the brutal god who controls the dark world."
He paused and involuntarily threw his sight into the deeper part of the Aether World .
"The dividing line between Qing and Zhuo is the Silent Moon."
"Among the three gods, it is totally different from the other two. Although it is called a natural disaster, it doesn't have its real body, let alone independence. It is only a benchmark that relies on the other two.
"It is an insurmountable 'border.'"
"You can think of it as a rule of music theory that is beyond human understanding. It is a asurent level that was born because of the existence of the Holy Caldron and the Hyaku. It maintains an absolute balance.
"The Hyaku wants to integrate with God and turn the Originator into chaos again. Unfortunately, it is completely opposite to God. They are incompatible with each other. If they wanted to rge with each other, everything in the world, including the balance among the Aether World, the aether sea, and the Physical World, would be destroyed.
"Even the Originator couldn't bear such a huge impact."
"That's why the Silent Moon was born. It can be said that it is the closest to the nature of the Originator among the three gods, because it was the 'boundary' created by the Originator itself.
"It is a balance valve that restricts the battle between the Holy Caldron and the Hyaku. It has only appeared once in the past when the battle between the Hyaku and the Holy Caldron got extrely brutal, and even the Originator was affected.
"At that ti, everyone saw that the Pale Moon and the Indigo Moon overlapped in the sky and the Silent Moon ca out.
"As a result, the cold eradication and reconstruction began, and everything involved in it, whether it was people or demons or even natural disasters, was completely erased.
"Until balance reappeared in the Originator."
"It is an insurmountable boundary, the guardian of the scale and itself. Therefore, human beings use the phenonon of 'the Silent Moon' to describe it.
"Because of it, the Hyaku had to make a detour and go into the Physical World. To get rid of the Silent Moon, the Hyaku paid a huge price.
"In order to make itself complete again, it chose to start from the Holy Caldron... Unfortunately, it was down on its luck that year, and it offended . That was why it got itself into such big trouble!
"Sotis, humans are terrible things."
Bai Xi looked at him in silence.
"Are you finished?"
"Yes." Hers nodded. "Why, did you miss sothing?"
Bai Xi frowned. "Where is the consciousness that has been stripped from the Holy Caldron by humans?"
"Who knows?" Hers shrugged his shoulders and smiled aningfully. He chose a very comfortable position to lie on the sofa, lowered his eyes, and whispered, "Perhaps it is still floating in the Originator..."
-
At that mont, Ye Qingxuan suddenly opened his eyes in the Central Temple with ecstasy.
"Finally..."
He looked into the deepest part of the Sacred City.
"Found you!"
