From the end of the world

Chapter 290: Silver Moon 2
Taking "possible clones" as an example, perhaps there is only one way to ensure that the clone can survive if the original body is killed by the Great Impermanence, and that is to deliberately create a clone that is very different from oneself in thought.

In the past, the Silver Mask Doctor relied on this characteristic to become independent from Ying Lingyun's consciousness network. It is very likely that when I destroyed all of Ying Lingyun's "possible clones" along the consciousness network, I did not necessarily burn the Silver Mask Doctor.

But this kind of clone obviously does not meet Yin Yue's needs. What she wants is another individual who is completely consistent with her in thought - at least a similar individual, to serve as her continuation. Creating a clone like Doctor Silver Mask is putting the cart before the horse.

"I think you may have misunderstood. Yin Yue never placed her hopes on the way of clones from the beginning, and I am not her clone." Ancient Moon God said very seriously, "I am an elf born from the beliefs of the ancient Yue villagers, or you can say a god."

"Can gods be born from faith?" I asked.

This concept is actually not new. In many folk legends from ancient times to the present, both in China and abroad, there are many sayings that people's prayers or desires will give birth to elves or demons. In modern fictional stories, in order to explain the existence of gods, some stories will argue that it is not that gods came first and then faith, but that faith came first and then gods, and the explanation that gods were born from collective faith is derived.

But fantasy is fantasy, and I still need to reconfirm whether this explanation is valid in reality.

"Not all faiths will give birth to gods. Sometimes even a large number of religions may not give birth to gods. Sometimes even the prayers of just a few people are enough to generate a sacred spirit." Gu Yue Shen explained patiently, "The appearance of gods of faith is always a miracle that cannot be replicated. And the Gu Yue villagers are not that special. They do not have the conditions to produce gods... Of course, even if you ask me what that condition is, I can't answer it. At least the Gu Yue villagers do not have the temperament to call for miracles.

"However, Yin Yue has the ability to turn fantasy into reality. With her help, miracles that were originally impossible to replicate can be easily manifested in her hands."

Once again, I felt what an inexplicable power it was to be able to turn fantasy into reality.

Even the creation of a god can be done. Even if this "god" is certainly not as powerful as the Great Impermanence who is known as the god on earth, it still sounds outrageous enough.

"In order to allow the villagers of Guyue to produce a god similar to herself, she repeatedly showed her 'miracles' in front of the villagers in the early stage. Later, in order to allow the power of faith and longing to produce me, instead of concentrating all on herself, she disappeared from everyone's sight from a certain day." Guyue God continued, "The villagers who suddenly lost the protection of the gods returned to hard days. They prayed with all their strength in panic, and finally successfully gave birth to me.

"However, my birth did not satisfy Yin Yue. She found that although my power attributes were similar to hers, my thoughts were completely different from hers. The components that made up my existence contained too many sincere expectations of the villagers of Gu Yue, making me a kind god with no malice towards humans.

“Yin Yue can accept that I am weak, but she cannot accept that my thoughts are different from hers. That means I am not another her and cannot be her continuation.

"Fortunately, she probably thought that even if I was a failure, I still had value as a failure case, so she didn't destroy me on the spot, but sealed me in Yueyin Mountain. After that, she left without saying goodbye and never came back. Judging from the mysterious connection between her and me, she seemed to have died nearly twenty years ago.

"And just recently, although no one knows how, she was resurrected by some unknown method..."

Resurrection? After hearing what she said earlier, I began to doubt this statement and said, "You claim to be a kind spirit with no ill will towards humans... but those villagers don't see you that way, do they?"

"This is because Yin Yue modified history, and the fog outside is also a manifestation of her power." She answered calmly, "In the original history, Gu Yue Village was not renamed Hu Village at all. After Yin Yue left and I was sealed, all the villagers evacuated from the mountain.

"In the revised history, I became a licentious evil god, and the one who sealed me was changed from Yin Yue to a fictional god. Those villagers were actually dead people from a long time ago, and they were reborn by Yin Yue's power to modify history.

"However, because the soul is inherently beyond time and space, it is impossible to truly resurrect the dead by simply relying on the power of modifying history. Those villagers seem to be alive, but in fact they just think they have a phantom of the soul. And their mission is to monitor me."

"Surveillance you, why?" I asked.

"Because I have taken over some of Yin Yue's authority." She said frankly, "Although I don't know how she was resurrected, it is clear that she cannot recover her strength immediately after resurrection.

"Perhaps she had foreseen this before she died, and left a backup of her power somewhere. In this way, as long as she summons her backup power immediately after her resurrection, she can quickly recover to her prime.

"However, this method seems to have a flaw due to my presence. Part of the power she summoned automatically entered my body in Yueyin Mountain, making it impossible for her to recover to her prime. Soon, she was severely injured in your hands and fled to Yueyin Mountain. "She should have realized that the reason why she couldn't recover her power smoothly was because of me, so she wanted to kill me and take away the part of power that belonged to me. However, because she is in a very bad state now, she can't kill me for the time being. She can only strengthen the seal against me and wait until the injury recovers before dealing with me. I could originally break the old seal in a short time with my strengthened power, but now I can only be trapped in the fog again and can't get out. "

As she spoke, she touched the stone collar around her neck.

It seems that the seal itself is this stone collar.

Yin Yue was seriously injured... Although she managed to escape from my hands last time, she was not unscathed.

"Trapped in the fog—not trapped in the ancestral hall?" I asked.

"I can leave this ancestral hall at any time if I want to, but as long as I can't leave the fog, it won't matter where I go. Those phantom villagers outside are just doing their duty, and I don't want to cause them any trouble." Ancient Moon God sighed deeply.

Even the phantom villagers are worried, is she too saintly?
Although this thought came into my mind, I still didn't completely believe that she was the so-called "kind spirit".

So far, she has only given one side of her story about her origins and character. No matter how docile she appears, I can't believe her right away.

I got straight to the point and asked, "So, where is Yin Yue now? I'm going to kill her right now."

"Silver Moon is in the deepest part of the fog. However, you will never be able to find her now." Ancient Moon God said, "'Trapping me' is only a secondary function for this fog. The truly important function is to protect her before she recovers from her serious injuries.

"The deeper you go into the fog, the more you will lose the correct direction. In the end, it will be like encountering a spatial fault and you can no longer go deeper. I do have the ability to break it, because my power is the same as Silver Moon's. But now I am sealed by Silver Moon. If I want to go deeper into the fog, I must first break Silver Moon's seal on me."

"Break the seal..." I looked at the stone collar around her neck.

She quickly protected her neck and said, "Well...if you destroy this collar directly, I will die too, please don't do that.

"There is a very simple way to break the seal. Just take me outside the fog. The purpose of this seal is to trap me in the fog. Once I am outside the fog, the seal will lose its meaning and then fall apart.

"You should be able to leave the fog, right? Although I am in the ancestral hall, I can vaguely sense the changes in the outside world. I saw you leave the fog with the help of that girl. Please help me and let that girl take me away as well."

"It seems like you really want to leave the fog..."

I realized that regardless of her true feelings, "leaving the fog" should be a very important step for her.

And the more she wants to leave the fog, the more I must seriously consider the consequences of taking her out of the fog.

Also, since the reason why those villagers don’t make me feel like humans is because they are all phantoms created after Silver Moon modified history, then what about the Winter Car?
It's impossible that even Dong Che is a dead person in history, and a phantom created by Yin Yue's modification of history? If that's the case, how could Gua Tianshi attach so much importance to Dong Che?
I was moved by Dong Che's admiration and trust in me, as well as his indifference to life and death. If there was a chance, I would still like to save him from death. So I also tried to ask Gu Yue Shen about Dong Che.

She seemed a little confused, it seemed that she didn't know the identity of Dong Che. Seeing this, I explained to her the origin of Dong Che and his identity as the disciple of Da Wu Chang. After listening, she showed a thoughtful expression.

"So that's how it is... That boy is actually Gua Tianshi's direct disciple..." She seemed to understand a little, "No wonder Gua Tianshi suddenly appeared nearby."
