Evolve from Otsuki

Chapter 196
"In ancient times, the White Moon Forest was not called the White Moon Forest until a powerful empire, the Star-Moon Empire, was born. This empire almost included the entire Demon Realm in its sphere of influence until..."

Dulong began to talk a lot,
The plot of the story is old-fashioned,

All in all,

It is the story of a powerful empire from strength to decline,

The Star-Moon Empire was indeed an extremely powerful existence at its peak. According to Du Long, at its most powerful period, the Star-Moon Empire was no longer satisfied with occupying one demonic realm, but was already preparing to extend its power to other demonic realms.
And this big forest was changed to Baiyue Great Forest at that time,

The Star-Moon Empire worships the bright moon and the starry sky, and has two supreme leaders, who are called the Moon God and the Star Lord respectively. Therefore, most places within the sphere of influence are required to be named with the character "moon" or "star".
The empire prospers,

There will always be a day of decline,
The decline of the Star-Moon Empire was due to external enemies as well as internal factors.

There are many specific reasons,

As Dulong was talking, as if he was talking about his favorite things, an old stone giant suddenly became super talkative: "I have a strong interest in the once extremely powerful Empire,

After studying many materials about the Star-Moon Empire,

It is found that the reason for the destruction of this empire may be largely due to the unfair division system of demons."

"." Ren wanted to complain in his heart, "Good guy, the class system has come out."

But he couldn't speak,
Du Long is like a bad old man who is obsessed with research. After studying unpopular knowledge all his life, he suddenly meets a young man who is interested in these knowledge.
The more you speak, the more energetic you are,
Du Long: "In a book "The Doctrine of Great Sins" written by a dark mage, human beings, elves and some other races are described as traitors, and these races are believed to have betrayed the stars and the moon,

And there are more and more books that can prove that both humans and elves were once part of the Star-Moon Empire,

However, the Star-Moon Empire divides the many races in the territory into three levels, and a considerable part of the races are identified as slaves. Their races have to serve the monsters of several other levels throughout their lives, and they can even be deprived of their lives at will.

It is precisely because of this unfair division of the demon race that to a considerable extent, it led to the division within the Star-Moon Empire and its eventual collapse."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Ren finally found a chance to interrupt,

Use heart language to directly interrupt Du Long's eloquent speech,
Ren has no interest in the Star-Moon Empire, the collapse of the empire, or the prosperity of the empire, and he doesn't want to know the history.
He now knows that there used to be such a powerful empire.

"There is no need to describe the glorious history of the Star-Moon Empire to this tree owner, stone man! Just tell me the connection between the Star-Moon Empire and the Moon Palace you mentioned."

"Sorry!" Du Long came back to his senses, and explained angrily, "The Star-Moon Empire has been destroyed for too long, and now it's hard to find anyone interested in it. Du Long was too excited all of a sudden, I'm sorry, Mr. Tree Demon."

Ren: "Oh."

Du Long: "But in fact, the Star-Moon Empire is actually related to this ruin. After my research, there is no doubt that the ruins here are the remains of the statues of the Moon God that were used to enshrine the moon god in various parts of the empire."

Ren: "Wreckage?"

Du Long: "That's right! Every place ruled by the Star-Moon Empire must build a Moon Palace or Star Temple to worship the Moon God or Star Lord."

"The ruins here are not complete."

"It should only be part of the Moon Palace, that is, the place in the Moon Palace dedicated to planting sacrificial plants. That castle is the plantation in the Moon Palace, and a golden holy beast is usually raised in it.

The lifespan of these golden holy beasts is almost infinite. It is said that they once signed a contract with the moon god and the star master to obtain eternal life at the cost of guarding the star field for life.

Even after the Star-Moon Empire was destroyed,
The will of the Moon God and the Star Lord has never disappeared. Any monster that can be recognized by the will of the Moon God and the Star Lord is eligible to become the successor of the Star-Moon Empire and the Lord of the Moon Palace. With the mission of revitalizing the Star-Moon Empire, use All the resources in the moon palace, including driving the golden holy beast and using the products on the star field, etc. "

"Oh"

Ren understood it.
That is to say, although the Star-Moon Empire is gone, it still has power around the territory, waiting for someone who is destined to harvest the power of the Moon God and Star Lord, and use the treasures left by the empire to revive the empire?

Forehead.
"so,"

"Am I picking up a loophole?"

Ren felt that he was quite lucky.
However, he felt that what the Stone Giant Dulong said was not necessarily correct.
As a personal experience,
The so-called inheriting the will of the Moon God and being able to use everything in the Moon Palace is pure conjecture. The real situation is that even if you are really the Lord of the Moon Palace, the Golden Sacred Beast will selectively recognize you, not necessarily completely. Surrender.

"Tsk tsk, I was scared to death, so this is it."

"It's just some ancient legend."

Ren breathed a sigh of relief, "The so-called revival of the Star-Moon Empire is impossible, even in this life, but the Star Field in the Moon Palace Plantation belongs to me anyway."

Dulong: "Mr. Tree Demon, I only know so much about the origin of the Moon Palace."

Ren: "These are all handed down from your family?"

The stone giant Du Long shook his head, with a flash of pride in his eyes, "No, I took the initiative to learn about the history of the Xingyue Empire simply because I am interested in it. There's a lot of information that I've sorted out myself from a lot of scattered leads"

Ren resolutely refused: "No need!"

Dulong felt a little disappointed,
Ren: "However, the tree owner still wants to know,"

Du Long: "Master Tree Demon, please tell me."

Ren: "Before you said that any monster that inherits the will of the Moon God or the Star Lord, in addition to being able to use the legacy of the Star-Moon Empire, also has the mission of revitalizing the empire. Is this mission mandatory?"

Dulong was silent for a moment,

Finally, he said: "Mr. Tree Demon is the only master of the moon palace I have met. I think Mr. Tree Demon should know better than Dulong whether the mission of revitalizing the empire will force Lord Tree Demon's will."

have to,
Asking is the same as asking Bai,
Ren himself had no idea,
Ever since he obtained the Heart of the Moon and inexplicably became the so-called Lord of the Moon Palace, Renn felt that he had not had any thoughts of "going through fire and water and dedicating himself to the revival of the Star-Moon Empire".

He is now afraid that the "Heart of the Bright Moon" will subtly affect his will,

"It seems that we can only pay more attention in the days to come."

Ryan thought,

At this time,

Finally, Du Long couldn't help reminding: "Master Tree Demon, is there anything else you need to know?"

Ren: "It's nothing, you want to talk about the prismatic mine tree."
