The immortal body is called Teevat
Chapter 161: Blood Moon, but Savior
Cesar originally guessed that Wu Cheng's purpose was to do with academic research. After all, he had promised Wu Cheng that he would help him complete his academic research after the high-altitude magic show.
Although Cesar didn't know what Wu Cheng's so-called academic research was at that time?
However, in Cesar's opinion, since Wu Cheng helped him complete the high-altitude escape magic performance, he should also help Wu Cheng complete his academic research.
But the problem is that Wu Cheng’s identity as a Liyue scholar was fabricated in order to get close to Cesar, so what research topics can he have?
It was just that Wu Cheng wanted to leave an opportunity for Cesar to meet later. Otherwise, a sudden meeting with Cesar would inevitably arouse his vigilance, making it difficult for him to continue talking to him.
But Wu Cheng had not imagined that the follow-up of this incident would develop to be so uncontrollable now. The step he had deliberately left behind seemed to have become a discarded piece and was useless.
However, this also saves a lot of time chatting with Cesar about useless topics, and he can complete tasks faster and achieve his so-called goals.
Cesar slowly opened the door and made an invitation to Wu Cheng, saying, "Since you have something else to discuss with me, please come in. The room is a bit messy, I hope you don't mind."
Wu Cheng walked into Cesar's house and found that compared with the tidy and clean rooms in the past, the current room was messy and made people feel very uncomfortable.
Cesar also realized that his house really didn't have a good place to stay, so he apologized to Wu Cheng: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Wu Cheng."
"You know I've been busy these past few days, and it's been a big blow to me. So I don't have the energy to clean up the room. Please wait outside the door for a few minutes and I'll clean it up right away."
Wu Cheng naturally had no intention of despising Cesar. After all, they would be colleagues in the same cult in the future. Although not now, Wu Cheng was confident that after some persuasion, Cesar would definitely join the Blood Moon Cult.
After that, it took a long time for Cesar to tidy up the sofa in his living room and piled the sundries in other inconspicuous places, which made the whole living room look barely tidy.
Then Cesar formally invited Wu Cheng into his room and sat on the sofa to discuss in detail what Wu Cheng wanted to talk about today.
Wu Cheng walked into Cesar's room without hesitation and sat opposite Cesar. Cesar asked Wu Cheng: "I didn't know Wu Cheng was coming today, so I didn't prepare any refreshments. Please forgive me. So, is there anything else important that Mr. Wu Cheng wants to see me about today?"
Wu Cheng did not explain his origins first, but began to care about Cesar's recent situation and reminisce about the past with him.
After all, Wu Cheng believed that overly straightforward topics were not always applicable. For example, Cesar had just experienced the betrayal of his wife and apprentice, and the rumors dealt him a heavy blow and ruined his reputation.
"Mr. Cesar, it's been less than a week, and when we meet again, everything has changed. It's really hard to imagine!"
Cesar felt quite emotional when listening to Wu Cheng's words. It was indeed as Wu Cheng said, things and people have changed, everything has changed.
Cesar then said: "Yeah, I'm really embarrassing you now. I don't understand why everyone suddenly hates me collectively."
"I don't even know why. Why do all these people hate me? I have nothing in common with them."
Wu Cheng stated a fact to him with a rather calm expression: "Mr. Cesar, this is an extremely cruel fact. People will add their own opinions to what they hear and say."
"Even if their opinions are unfair and untrue, they will still tell others their so-called correct opinions in order to influence more people. And the sad thing is that this phenomenon will not stop, but will continue."
"As this phenomenon continues, it will naturally cause the incident to become distorted after being spread countless times, even to the point where the original appearance of the incident cannot be seen."
Wu Cheng said with a rather sarcastic tone: "But people never actively seek the truth, and prefer to let the truth come out from other people's mouths. So what is the real truth?"
"That's the power of rumors. It can help a person go from poverty to wealth, and it can also turn a high-profile celebrity into a villain, just like you right now, right?"
Cesar stared blankly into the distance without saying a word. It was unclear whether he was silent or thoughtful, but in any case he didn't say anything.
After the stalemate lasted for several minutes, Cesar finally said to Wu Cheng: "Yes, the power of rumors is really terrifying!"
Cesar asked Wu Cheng: "Mr. Wu Cheng, besides coming to visit and comfort me today, I believe you have other things to do, so tell me all about them. I will definitely help you as long as I can."
Wu Cheng answered the question as if it was irrelevant. He directly asked Cesar a question: "Mr. Cesar, I want to ask you a question. Have you heard of the Blood Moon Cult?"
Cesar was stumped by Wu Cheng's question. After thinking for a long time and shaking his head, he said to Wu Cheng: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wu Cheng, I really don't know anything about the Blood Moon Cult."
"But I would like to ask, why are you trying to find out about the Blood Moon Cult?"
Wu Cheng also began to make up the story about the Blood Moon Cult. After all, a good story can always open up a good situation for the conversation.
"Mr. Cesar, it's normal that you don't know about the Blood Moon Cult. After all, this cult doesn't appear in the public eye."
"According to my research, compared to the high-profile Abyss Cult, they appear to be more secretive."
Although Cesar didn't know much about the Abyss Cult, he knew from what he had heard from others that the Abyss Cult liked to create unrest in other countries to gain so-called benefits for themselves.
This Blood Moon Cult was unheard of, and humans always had more or less curiosity about the unknown, and Cesar was no exception.
For a moment, Cesar's curiosity was aroused. Wu Cheng also saw the curiosity in Er's eyes, so he continued to introduce Cesar to the Blood Moon Cult.
"According to my years of research, the history of the Blood Moon Cult is quite long. Although I don't have much research information, I can roughly piece together the general appearance of the Blood Moon Cult."
"The Blood Moon Cult believes in the Blood Moon Demon God Slokava. According to the limited information available, Slokava is a benevolent demon god."
"He never invaded the surrounding areas during the Demon God War. He only wanted to find a place for his people to live."
"People also spontaneously formed the Blood Moon Cult out of gratitude for his gift. Even though Slokava was completely destroyed in the end due to some untraceable reasons."
"But the Blood Moon Cult with him as its core still survived, and they received Slokava's final revelation at the last moment of Slokava's fall."
"…Every thousand years, the blood moon will rise and shine upon every inch of Teyvat, cleansing all sin and injustice, and fulfilling the most ideal wishes in people's hearts…"
Cesar couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, with a hint of longing in his expression. After all, how much he wanted to go back to the past.
If this were true, perhaps I wouldn't have to go out right now without being pointed at and scolded by any Fontaine citizen.
"Ah, it would be great if there really was such a blood moon. It would be such a tempting condition to be able to fulfill everyone's wishes."
“But I’m afraid that what Mr. Wu Cheng said is just a vague record in ancient books. After all, if the blood moon can really realize everyone’s ideal wishes, then how could Slovaka die?”
Wu Cheng saw Cesar had already begun to express his opinions on the Blood Moon Cult, and he knew that the fish he had caught had begun to bite the hook. But he was not in a hurry to reel in the fishing rod yet.
First of all, he did not directly deny the fact that the Blood Moon Cult did not exist, but he did not believe the authenticity of this part of the Blood Moon Cult's prophecy, which was equivalent to him implicitly accepting the existence of the Blood Moon Cult.
What I need to do next is to give this prophecy a more mysterious cloak. After all, the more mysterious and unknown it is, humans can always come up with a reasonable story line for it.
Wu Cheng crossed his hands on his legs and continued to tell Cesar: "Yes, if the blood moon really has such ability, then the blood moon demon Slokava would not have died."
"But it was only a thousand years from the birth to the death of the Blood Moon Demon God Slokava. He naturally could not enjoy the so-called blessing of the Blood Moon. I speculate that the reason for His death may be due to this."
Cesar raised his doubts: "Mr. Wu Cheng, I have also heard of the Demon God War, which is estimated to be thousands of years ago, but I have never heard of anyone receiving the so-called blessing of the blood moon. After all, no one has ever seen it."
Wu Cheng seemed to have anticipated Cesar's question, so he continued calmly: "Of course there are people who have received the blessing of being a blood moon, and are still walking in the world unknown."
Cesar continued to question: "Mr. Wu Cheng, how can you know that someone really received the blessing of the blood moon? After all, no matter how you look at it, the blessing of the blood moon is hundreds of years away from us."
"And the scenes you read in the ancient books, Mr. Wu Cheng, are just what people at that time said. It's really hard to be convincing evidence."
Wu Cheng suddenly laughed, as if he had thought of something happy, and then said to Cesar: "Of course I can prove it, because the one in front of you is the one who has been blessed by the Blood Moon."
Cesar didn't quite believe it for a moment, so he replied: "Mr. Wu Cheng, this joke is not funny. It's not that I don't want to believe you, but there is no real and reliable basis for all this, so how can I believe it so easily?"
Later, Wu Cheng also realized that this was a more important step. If he could resolve the doubts about Cesar's sacrifice, then the next step would be a favorable situation.
But if he failed to convince Cesar at this time, then this recruitment campaign would fail at the last step.
This is a critical moment...

(Not the main text, but a side story of Collapse of Iron and Water)
Yalilo VI Beloberg Lower Area
Wu Cheng looked at the lower area of Beloberg. Seeing the scene here, he thought of the scene in the Winter Demon's slag laboratory, which was full of despair and silent wailing.
Everyone's face was filled with the vicissitudes of life caused by the cold and the passage of time, and beyond that there was more despair.
No one knows when the cold wave of Beloberg will subside. Several great guardians have tried various methods and ways to resist the cold wave.
But in the end, the cold wave not only did not dissipate, but became more severe. Now the marrow ore used to provide warmth in the lower area has gradually become scarce, and it can be said that Beloberg has entered the countdown to destruction.
The people in the lower areas, whether they are miners or members of the underground fire organization, actually have no hope for the future. What they want now is to live one day at a time. As long as they can live to see the Great Guardian and figure out how to solve the cold wave, their lives should get better, right?
They were more malice than curiosity towards Wu Cheng, a man in strange clothes that they had never seen before. After all, the people in the lower class had already forgotten about morality.
Because those people with high morals might have frozen to death on the streets years ago, and no one would mourn them.
But when Wu Cheng faced these greedy gazes, he could scare them away with just a look.
After all, the murderous aura of Wu Cheng, who had killed hundreds of people, could not be concealed, and people were thinking of evil things in their minds.
After feeling the aura around Wu Cheng, they knew that this was not a person they could rob, unless they did not want to live in Beloberg, so they had to change to a new posture and sit on the ground to survive.
"It's really a cold lower zone. Not only is the temperature cold, but even the hearts of people here are so cold that they have no temperature left. Don't you think so, Willy?"
"Yeah, I really don't know what the people in the upper class are thinking. They actually locked up the people in the lower class and didn't give them a way to survive."
"On the contrary, we still have to rely on the geological minerals they provide to maintain the operation of Beg. It seems ridiculous to us."
Wu Cheng corrected Weili's statement once again. Even though Weili had recovered some strength, her memory was still very bad. It seemed that Weili's bad memory was innate.
Then Wei Li reminded Wu Cheng: "Hey, don't forget the purpose of our coming to this place. What box are we going to get?"
"Star core, that's a very dangerous thing."
"Ah, yes, yes, it's just that kind of thing anyway. I don't think the name is that important."
"It's up to you. I'm waiting for an opportunity now. When the opportunity comes, the star core will naturally fall into my hands. All we have to do is wait."
Wu Chen then looked at the Bengtie trio who were very far away from him and then at Wei Li, and said, "Perhaps, we don't need to wait that long, the opportunity has already come."
