Crown of Silence

Chapter 528 The Moonlight is So Beautiful

In silence, the Holy City was burning with fire.

Although the demons were gone, the chaos continued.

But through the door of the store, the turmoil and changes seemed to disappear.

It was like looking at the world in the painting through the oil painting. It seemed like the waves were surging, but it was so far away from me.

The noise and screams in the distance highlighted the tranquility and peace in the store. All disasters and misfortunes were far away from here. Only the warm fire was burning, making people drowsy.

But in front of the huge window, there was still a lonely shadow standing.

The white-haired girl raised her head, silently and attentively looking up at the sky. Staring at the white moon that was slowly dissipating in the sky, and the majestic figure set off by the holy emblem.

In the sky, Monty's projection was burned out, and the scorching sun dissipated its brilliance and returned to the moon, restoring the tranquility and softness, and the moonlight flowing like water.

She seemed to be relieved, and a smile appeared on her tightly pursed lips. She couldn't help but reach out and touch the window, as if she could touch the figure so far away from her.

In the reflection of the moonlight, the eyes were satisfied and relieved.

"The moonlight is so beautiful."

She whispered softly.

"Bai Xi, you are focusing on the wrong point."

On the sofa, Hermes waved lazily: "This is the core of the struggle, don't make a mistake. Really, at such a young age, you can't take your eyes off your cousin. In two years, won't you be eaten to death by that guy? Don't try to be a routine like marrying him. If the student is so attached, where will the master's face be placed."

The answer to him was the antique that broke through the air by the window.

Hermes smiled triumphantly, tilted his head, and let the priceless candlestick brush past his ear, nailed to the counter, and buzzed.

And as he waved his hand, the scene in front of the window suddenly changed.

Through the sky, the window shone through layers of barriers, deep into the core of the etheric world, and glimpsed the two fighting behemoths, and also saw the countless turbulent changes in music theory.

It was like being in a special box in a theater, looking down from a high place, taking in all the changes.

"After so many years, they finally fought again. It's really a cause for celebration, a cause for celebration."

Hermes lazily shouted: "Bai Xi, go and take down the bottle of Pilgrim from my wine rack. Let's open some good wine to celebrate for them."

Bai Xi did not move, but just stood in front of the window, looking up at the two huge and terrifying silhouettes in the sea of ​​ether in astonishment.

After a long time, she frowned:

"Is God... this kind of thing?"

"Why not?"

Hermes asked back, laughing strangely, "When you mention God, do you think of it as a little flying man with lightning in the sky? Well, there must be a halo on the head or behind.

Maybe it has two big wings...

This setting was quite popular during the Renaissance a hundred years ago. Well, after all, it was the trend I started. At that time, all the people who painted murals copied my settings. I really miss it."

After sighing for a long time, he shrugged and said regretfully: "What a pity, Bai Xi, that was just a random drawing I made to cheat money... How could God be something like humans?

They are different from humans.

Even the three of them have completely different forms, properties, and levels. The relationship between them is not the opposition that humans imagine. From another perspective, perhaps it can be said... it is "cause" and "effect".

"Oh. "

Bai Xi responded uninterestedly, choking Hermes who was ready to say a lot. He sipped half a glass of red wine awkwardly, then sighed and said:

"...Bai Xi, as a student and disciple, you should show your full curiosity at this time."

"Oh."

Bai Xi glanced at him: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, don't bother me."

"Okay."

Hermes scratched his head. It was not easy to make Bai Xi do this. The desire to show and explain prevailed in his body, overwhelming his desire for the majesty of the teacher. He started to explain and suddenly became excited.

"Let's skip the details, and then we have to talk about a bunch of old things..."

Bai Xi interrupted him, "Be brief."

"...Do you really want to see your cheap cousin earlier? "

Hermes hadn't finished speaking when he saw Bai Xi picking up the thing next to him and quickly raised his hands in surrender: "Wait, I'll save it immediately, don't throw it away! That's the skull of the first Blue King! There's only one in the world! I'm counting on selling it for retirement!"

"Then tell me quickly..."

"Okay, okay."

Hermes shook his head and sighed:

"Humanity did find the sacred cauldron leading to the Great Source and created gods. But the specific process is not like what is said in the scriptures, that people and gods made a covenant on the cliff with a rainbow...

It's more like alchemy... Anyway, this set was also taught by me back then."

"In short, humans created a vector in the Great Source Chaos through the sacred cauldron.

So, the clear ones rise, and the turbid ones fall.

The ascender is shaped into a god, but the god is incomplete, because it doesn't even have its own consciousness, or in other words, humans deliberately stripped its consciousness away. "

"Intentionally?"

"Yes, intentionally. "

Hermes raised a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth: "After all, who would want to have something high above them, telling them what to do?

It can be said that in the Great Source, the position of God is just an empty throne. Although it exists, it has no meaning - so it is appropriate to call it the Holy Cauldron, since it is empty inside.

The descending turbid ones gathered together and became the 'Hundred Eyes'. Compared with the Holy Cauldron, the place where all the evils in the world gather, they even have the goal of pursuing their own existence, which is revealed to be the brutal gods wreaking havoc in the dark world."

He paused, and his eyes involuntarily cast to the deeper part of the etheric world.

"And the dividing line between the clear and the turbid is the Silent Moon."

"Among the three pillar gods, he is completely different from the other two. Although he is called a natural disaster, he has no entity, and he cannot even be called 'independent'. He is just a benchmark that relies on the two.

A 'boundary' that cannot be crossed.

You can think of it as a music theory rule beyond the scope of human understanding. It is a measurement standard born from the existence of the Sacred Cauldron and the Hundred Eyes, maintaining an absolutely balanced scale.

The Hundred Eyes wants to merge with God and return the Great Source to chaos again. Unfortunately, it and God are two extremes, and they are incompatible. If they want to merge with each other, they will destroy the balance between the etheric world, the etheric sea and the material world, and destroy everything completely.

Even the Great Source can hardly withstand such a huge impact.

The Silent Moon was born for this reason. It can be said that it is the existence closest to the essence of the Great Source among the three pillar gods, and it is a 'boundary' created by the Great Source himself.

It is a balance valve that limits the fight between the Sacred Cauldron and the Hundred Eyes. It has only appeared once. That was when the fight between the Hundred-Eyed One and the Sacred Cauldron reached a point of life and death, and even caused unrest in the Great Source.

At that time, everyone saw that the pure white moon and the azure moon on the sky overlapped, and the Silent Moon descended.

As a result, the cold erasure and reconstruction began, and everything involved, whether it was people or demons, or even natural disasters, was completely erased.

Until the Great Source was balanced again.

It is a limit that cannot be crossed, the guardian of the balance and even itself. Therefore, humans use the phenomenon of "Silent Moon" to describe it. "

"It is precisely because of its existence that the Hundred-Eyed One will go far away and enter the material world at a huge price to bypass the obstruction of the Silent Moon.

Choosing to start with the Sacred Cauldron to restore itself to completeness... Unfortunately, it has bad luck and offended me. Otherwise, why would it plunge into this big pit?

Sometimes, humans are very scary things. "

In the long silence, Bai Xi tilted his head and looked at him.

"Finished?"

"Finished." Hermes nodded.

"Why did you miss a part?"

Bai Xi frowned, "Where did the consciousness that was stripped from the Sacred Cauldron by humans go?"

"Who knows."

Hermes spread his hands and smiled meaningfully. Lying on the sofa, he chose a comfortable posture, his eyes lowered, and he sighed softly:

"Perhaps, it is still floating in the Great Source..."

--

At that moment, Ye Qingxuan suddenly opened his eyes from the central agency, ecstatic.

"Finally..."

He looked into the deepest part of the Holy City:

"--I found you!"
