Chapter 507 She's Different (Happy National Day everyone!)

"Actually, it's just a coincidence."

"Or rather, I am not the person behind the scenes that you imagine."

After a not-too-long standoff, a faint voice finally emerged from the Sun-Shooting Arrow.

"I don't even know why I woke up in your era..."

"The dreams you experienced were not what I wanted, but rather the process by which I gradually regained my memories."

“Most importantly, I have never been to this Moon Palace before, so I’m very curious why you are so familiar with it.”

Whether he believed it or not, Li Xuandu slightly raised his eyebrows, his expression exactly the same as Li Boyang's.

"I've seen the first half of your life, and I've heard about the second half."

"What I'm more curious about now is, what is your relationship with the moon goddess in this moon palace?"

I was pulled to the moon because of Yi the Archer, and Su Jun came up here because of me.

This is a fact that Li Xuan can confirm.

This is also why he confronted the Sun-Shooting Arrow at this time.

If Da Yi simply wanted to find a successor for himself, Li Xuandu would naturally not mind helping him fulfill some of his last wishes.

But now that the matter has involved Qin Jun, how can Li Xuandu continue to turn a blind eye to it?
Moreover, Li Xuandu was also very curious about what had happened in the world during the year before his birth.
Also, is my arrival in this era simply a coincidence?

If my familiarity with the Moon Palace did not come from Yi the Archer, then are there other secrets hidden within me?

Li Xuandu's intuition told him that if he hadn't come to this era, he might not have been able to truly be born into this world.

Li Xuan could only think of those great gods who attempted to prove their Dao by using such a method of reversing cause and effect.

"My wife... Heng'e is the goddess of the moon palace."

After a brief silence, Da Yi's voice came again from the arrow that shot down the sun.

The encounter between Yi and Heng'e is actually quite cliché; it's the standard template of a fallen hero and a beautiful woman who admires him.

At first, Da Yi did not actually recognize Heng'e's identity.

Because Heng'e was a mortal with a face covered in grime, she almost starved to death when Da Yi met her.

Fortunately, Da Yi had met Heng'e once before and knew that she was the daughter of the moon goddess Chang Xi.

Unfortunately, Yi and Heng'e only met once.

For a long time after that, not only Heng'e, but even the moon goddess Changxi rarely showed her face again.

Rumors circulated among the gods that this was because the twelve daughters of the Heavenly Emperor, including Heng'e, were plotted against and perished.

The Moon Goddess Changxi was left behind. Due to anger and sorrow, she quarreled with the Heavenly Emperor and has since lived in seclusion in the Moon Palace, never to be seen again.

However, after meeting Heng'e, Da Yi realized that it must be a rumor.

If the twelve daughters of the moon goddess are all dead, then who is Heng'e who appears before her?
At least, that's what Da Yi always thought.

No matter how much Da Yi pressed her for answers, Heng'e never revealed why she had become a mortal.

It was only when Yi finally decided to shoot down the suns that Heng'e decided to ascend back to the moon palace and personally forge the "Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow" for him.

"Perhaps it's because of treason?"

He murmured somewhat uncertainly, his voice sounding a little helpless.

"The Heavenly Emperor wants to use the ten suns to destroy the world, but Heng'e will definitely not agree to it."

"A Heavenly Emperor in a fit of rage is capable of anything, even demoting his own daughter to a mortal."

Hearing Da Yi's words, Li Xuandu merely rolled his eyes without making a sound.

Logically speaking, Da Yi's explanation is indeed self-consistent.

But he had too many romantic feelings for his wife, Heng'e, so much so that he even believed she would rebel against her father for the sake of a mortal.

If Heng'e were truly just an innocent young girl, Li Xuandu believed that the possibility was not zero.

But Heng'e is not a young girl, but an ancient goddess who has lived for countless years.

The fact that she suddenly became a mortal was suspicious in itself, but the infatuated Yi was unwilling to investigate it further.

"I know what you're doubting, but Heng'e is different!" The voice came again from the arrow that shot down the sun. It was clear that this was not the first time that Da Yi had faced such doubts.

"In order to help me shoot down the sun, she risked returning to the Moon Star to obtain the essence of the Moon Palace and forge the 'Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow'."

Sensing the key point in the words, Li Xuandu suddenly interrupted.

"Wait, is the moon's current state related to Heng'e?"

Looking down at the shattered moon beneath his feet, Li Xuandu's words made Da Yi pause in surprise.

But he immediately denied Li Xuandu's guess without hesitation and revealed an even more astonishing fact.

"Of course that's impossible!"

"Although the Qi of Guanghan is the essence of Taiyin Qi, it is impossible for it to cause the entire Taiyin Star to collapse."

"The Taiyin star we are currently on is not the Taiyin star in the long history, but a possibility that has split off from it."

With a deep sigh, Da Yi continued speaking.

"Did you see those twelve crystal coffins in the Moon Palace?"

"If I'm not mistaken, they should be the twelve moon goddesses on this timeline, Heng'e's sisters."

"On this timeline, the one who was banished to the mortal realm was Heng'e's youngest sister, Chang'e, who is still lying in that crystal coffin."

Immediately recalling the intricate patterns on the twelve crystal coffins, Li Xuandu nodded thoughtfully.

Those shouldn't be patterns, but rather ancient script that circulated only among the ancient gods during the reign of the Heavenly Emperor.

As a human hero of that era, Yi was a general personally chosen by the Heavenly Emperor and married Heng'e. It is not surprising that he could recognize those ancient characters.

"I see!"

"That's why you judged this timeline not to be the main timeline!"

The shattered moon and the empty coffin were the reasons why Da Yi was so certain that this timeline was a branch.

However, after clarifying the ins and outs of the whole incident, a new question arose in Li Xuandu's mind.

"The reason we appear on this timeline must be because we have a strong causal relationship with this timeline."

"Then here's the problem: both Su Jun and I ended up here because of your influence."

"Then why do you have a strong causal relationship with this timeline?"

As the saying goes, a single word can awaken a dreamer; Li Xuandu's words once again silenced the atmosphere.

Even the observer, Su Jun, could clearly see that the Sun-Shooting Arrow in Li Xuandu's hand was trembling uncontrollably.

"If I'm not mistaken, the eleven moon goddesses lying in the coffins all look exactly alike."

"Did the Chang'e who emerged from the coffin look exactly like her sisters?"

Upon hearing Li Xuandu's words, the Sun-Shooting Arrow trembled even more violently.

"Hou Yi, what do you mean by that?"

Gently tugging at Li Xuandu's sleeve, Qin Jun asked cautiously in a low voice.

She always felt that Li Xuandu's question was like a sharp arrow, hitting Da Yi's weak point with great precision, making the other party not even dare to refute it.

"A very simple line of reasoning."

"It's just that some guy is burying his head in the sand and doesn't want to face the problem."

"Because I was pampered by my older sisters from a young age, I am naturally naive and cannot bear to see the suffering of others."

"If such a Chang'e were to claim to be Heng'e, who but her close friends and family would be able to see through her disguise?"

Upon hearing Li Xuandu's cryptic words, the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow nearly flew out of his hand.

However, Li Xuandu did not let go of the idea of ​​shooting down Yi. Instead, he gripped the Sun-Shooting Arrow tightly and asked the most fatal question.

"Da Yi, how did you determine that you were marrying Heng'e, and not Chang'e?"
