From the end of the world

Chapter 296: The Heavenly Master Appears

Probably because of the short battle time, Gu Yueshen didn't have time to show off many new skills. Most of the tricks she used in the battle were the tricks that Yin Yue had used on me last time. The tricks that had worked on me before were now completely defeated, which gave me a sense of accomplishment similar to revenge.

Her body disappeared in the firelight, but one object remained: the stone collar hanging around her neck.

As the stone collar fell due to gravity, I reached out and grabbed it in time, then held it in front of my eyes for a closer look.

I don't know what material it is made of. Even the Ancient Moon God himself couldn't withstand my flames, but this stone collar didn't seem to be damaged. Only the outer layer was burned to a slightly charcoal black color. Judging from her attitude and words before she died, this thing is the body of the seal that Yin Yue put on her. I didn't expect it to be so strong. No wonder she couldn't break this seal before she died.

After all, it is a rare item, so I plan to recycle it first. Maybe it will come in handy in the future.

However, this thing is an enemy relic anyway, there is no guarantee that there will be no backdoors in it. Maybe even if I want to recover it, I should find a place to hide it first, and then talk about other things after confirming that there is no problem.

I looked around again and tried to sense it carefully. The breath of Ancient Moon God did not appear again, maybe he was really dead. In fact, I was not completely sure in my heart, after all, the opponent was a figure equivalent to Yin Yue Bao Shen. Last time, I thought I defeated Yin Yue, but in fact, the other party took advantage of the chaos to escape. This time, maybe I thought I killed Ancient Moon God, but in fact, the other party hid.

Or, just like Silver Moon, did the Ancient Moon God also leave some kind of "resurrection" foreshadowing for himself? The ability to turn fantasy into reality is so versatile that it seems that there are a lot of ideas for using this power to revive and return.

The more I thought about it, the more I was certain she was dead. In the face of overwhelming power, the more it seemed like it could do anything, the more it could do nothing. She must have been really helpless and had her soul shattered.

The fog around us is becoming thinner.

I landed at Guyue Village on the ground and looked around. Perhaps due to the death of Guyue God, the white mist in the vicinity was gradually disappearing. It wasn't that the mist was disappearing everywhere, but only in the area centered on Guyue Village, the mist was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Perhaps when Gu Yue Shen was trapped in the fog, part of the fog was also under her control, so it was affected by her death. And the changes were not limited to these. All the houses in Gu Yue Village were also disappearing, just like weathering, turning into countless dust particles from the edges.

The faces of the villagers wandering around were becoming more and more dull. Their figures were originally solid, but now they became more and more transparent, just like the weathered houses, they were fading into nothingness. I also saw the young traveler rescued by Dongche in the crowd, and he also disappeared like the villagers.

Ancient Moon God claimed that these villagers were summoned by Silver Moon to monitor her, but it seems that she lied about this as well. These villagers were obviously summoned by her for some purpose, so they will be destroyed when she dies.

So, what about winter cars?

He, like all the villagers, is a phantom of death. What is his current condition?

When I had this thought, the young man's voice came from behind me: "——Senior Zhuang Cheng?"

I immediately turned around and saw the handsome young man in a white ancient-style robe and white hair standing about ten steps behind me.

"Winter car?" I called him.

But he didn't react at all, just staring at me in a daze. I vaguely understood what state he was in. He was just like sleepwalking now, and just now he called out my name from behind, which was just an instinctive reaction after seeing me.

The reason why it became like this was probably due to the influence of the death of Gu Yue Shen. In other words, Dong Che was also killed in the future by the power of Gu Yue Shen, and was transformed into something similar to a "ghost" in the present and the past. It's really a pity that Gu Yue Shen could shamelessly put all the problems on Yin Yue in front of me. Now that Gu Yue Shen is dead, Dong Che will naturally disappear.

However, there was one thing that Gu Yueshen might have said was true. As a demon hunter of a certain level, Dong Che disappeared much more slowly than the villagers. I vaguely saw a fluffy transparent glow appearing around the edge of Dong Che's body, which was evidence that he was indeed slowly disappearing.

We must find Gua Tianshi before he disappears. But, did Gua Tianshi really come to Yueyin Mountain? This information came from Gu Yueshen before, and all the information she provided was suspicious. Maybe the information about Gua Tianshi was just made up to urge me to unite with her.

At this time, a figure appeared again not far away.

It was Ma Zao, she had transferred herself here. Perhaps because part of the fog had dissipated, the distortion of time and space in this area had ceased, and Ma Zao was able to sense from the outside that the fighting inside had disappeared, and she rushed to my side in time.

"Zhuang Cheng, are you okay?" she asked worriedly.

"What can happen to me?"

Maybe it doesn't matter if Ma Zao didn't leave the fog in advance, I can still kill Gu Yue Shen quickly - no, it's better not to be so arrogant. If Ma Zao stays, Gu Yue Shen may change his tactics and take Ma Zao as a hostage to fight me. It's better to continue to implement the policy of letting Ma Zao retreat first when danger arises.

"If I could help more..." Ma Zao still seemed to care. "You've already contributed enough. If you want to help in the battle, at least wait until you recover all your strength." I consoled.

"...I understand." She nodded with difficulty. "So, what should we do next?"

As she spoke, she also glanced at the winter car.

"Let's get out of the fog first," I said.

Silver Moon is in the deepest part of the fog. Although I know this, I can't find it now. Even with Ma Zao by my side, I probably can't do it for the time being.

If reaching Yin Yue is a problem that can be solved by luck, even if the success rate is only one in ten thousand, it can be solved with Ma Zao's unlucky physique. Compare this problem to a door. To open the door, you must enter a four-digit password on the electronic lock. We may be able to enter the correct number with a casual try.

However, based on the current clues, we cannot get close to Silver Moon without the right method. The door is not equipped with an electronic lock, but a mechanical lock, which does not allow us to try the password. If we want to open the door, we must first find the correct key.

Maybe I can also rely on Ma Zao's bad luck and meet the "right key" somewhere unexpectedly. And in terms of probability, compared to staying under Yin Yue's nose, the possibility of meeting it somewhere else is probably higher, so I want to go outside first.

After telling Ma Zao about his thoughts, she seemed to share the same feeling, so she nodded and walked in front to lead the way.

I turned around and called Dongche, and he looked at me in bewilderment. Then I pretended to leave, and he followed me obediently like a lamb.

We left the gradually disappearing Guyue Village.

The structure of the fog is probably like a donut. If we want to leave from the hole in the center, we must first enter the fog again and then go out from the outside. You Ma has already led the way, so it is not difficult to go through. Silver Moon lurking in the deepest part of the fog does not seem to have any intention of stopping us. We will soon reach the area outside the fog.

While walking on the road, Ma Zao turned around and said to me: "Zhuang Cheng, I just went outside the fog, and the situation outside seems to be a little strange..."

"Did something happen?" I asked.

"This...how should I put it?" She frowned, "The fog seems to be spreading..."

It wasn't long before I saw the scene she described.

After leaving the mist, we came to a cliff of Yueyin Mountain. From this position, we should be able to see Yueyin Mountain City at the foot of the mountain. It is daytime now, but I can't see the scenery of the town clearly.

The area around Yueyin Mountain became like a city with heavy air pollution, and the town at the foot of the mountain looked hazy. Compared with the previous foggy area, the visibility is not that bad. In the past, I could only see scenes tens of meters away, but now I can see scenes at least a thousand meters away. But before going up the mountain, I should be able to clearly see the other side of the horizon.

I can see that the thing that pollutes the air is nothing but the fog we passed by earlier. Mist with the same composition as the fog is spreading in the area around Yueyin Mountain... and even in more distant areas at a very low density. According to a rough estimate, at least Yueyin Mountain and its nearby towns are covered by this haze phenomenon.

Because the concentration of fog is extremely low, there is no sign of time and space confusion like in the foggy area. However, this extremely light fog should not only exist nearby. Perhaps some strange phenomena have already occurred.

I took out my phone and connected it to the Internet to see if I could get relevant information from the Internet. However, the phone could not receive any network signal. Not only that, there was no phone signal either.

Then try to sense the "fireflies". The "fireflies" in Yueyin Mountain City can still be connected normally, but the signal of the "fireflies" in Xianshui City has become quite vague. It can only confirm its existence, but cannot transmit information and transfer.

Was this also Yin Yue's doing? What on earth did she want to do?
“——This is Yin Yue’s Fa Tian Xiang land.”

Without any warning, a strange voice came from the distant mountains and forests.

The first thing I did was to look in the direction of the sound, and I saw a strange figure walking out of the woods leisurely.

Dong Che's sleepwalking expression changed. He looked in that direction and said to himself, "Master?"
