Red Moon Returns

Lin Qi was suspended in the void, surrounded by deep darkness.

There was no light, no sound, as if everything had returned to nothingness, and only the individual "I" remained in the world.

With the experience of the long river of time and the Silver Gate, Lin Qi did not panic. He relaxed his body and mind, floating quietly in the endless darkness, enjoying the rare tranquility since he crossed over.

In the chaos, time passed unknown, maybe a second, maybe billions of years. Lin Qi, who was immersed in it, was about to forget the concept of "I", but at this moment, the light tore through the chaos, and endless galaxies appeared, embellishing the chaotic darkness into a starry night sky.

It seemed to be at the end of the distant universe, but it seemed to be right in front of him. The bright stars seemed to be pulled by some force and began to move slowly, and in Lin Qi's eyes, they condensed into a human figure composed of starlight.

There was only an outline, but it was very vivid. It was the appearance of a lady, wearing a dignified long dress, long hair, a headband similar to a crown on her head, holding a scepter surrounded by bright stars in her hand, looking at Lynch in the night sky.

She just stood there quietly, without movement, without sound, and even her face could not be seen clearly, but a solemn majesty emanated from her body composed of starlight, making people involuntarily feel an invisible pressure.

The heart was beating, the blood vessels were contracting, and the pressure was pressing on Lynch's heart, making him extremely nervous.

This was not like the fear when he heard Msisha's howl before, but more like the smallness and fragility that people felt when they looked up at the towering mountains or the towering buildings, making people couldn't help but bow their heads and offer her humility and respect.

At this moment, Lynch had realized that he was witnessing greatness, witnessing the sublime, witnessing... the gods.

The goddess of the night, the lord of the stars, the queen of darkness, the mysterious master

Holding the exclusive authority over the night and the stars, the head of the Night Gods in the mythological era, and one of the three main gods who first woke up at the end of the Third Epoch.

Goddess of the Night, Nix.

The moment he realized this, a silent voice had been transmitted into his mind along with a divine thought, the voice was cold and deep, just like the cold night.

"Lynch Leviev, follower of the Crimson Moon. Now I give you a chance to choose."

"Hmm?" The cold tone made Lynch's heart sink, and an ominous premonition came to his mind, 'Neighbor, neighbor.'

However, there was a dead silence in his consciousness, and the expected voice of "I am here" never sounded.

"You don't have to shout, pathetic mortal, you don't understand what you did. The moment you stepped into my realm, you had lost her forever. She shouldn't have woken up. This is not her world. Now I have helped her return to the sleep of the dreamland. You don't have to think about her anymore. Now think about your own destiny. "The voice became colder and colder, making people feel bone-chilling. "I don't like to embarrass mortals, so I am willing to give you a chance to choose. If you take the initiative to cut off your connection with her now, I can let you return to the world alive. Although you have lost the power to twist your soul, you can at least live to the end of your life. Otherwise, I can only erase you. Only in this way can I ensure that she will not wake up again. "

The void fell into silence again. Lin Qi was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed, shaking his head and said:

"Aunt Nix, this game is not fun at all. I admit that I was quite surprised that she didn't respond to you. She said that no matter where I am, she will be with me. Even the gods cannot cut off the connection between us, so if I hadn't just confirmed it with her, I might have really believed it. "

Lin Qi's tense body relaxed, and he said leisurely with a smile on his face:

"I have made the decision to believe her before, so I won't easily doubt her judgment. Since she thinks you are trustworthy to her, then you are trustworthy. You just use another means to prevent me from contacting her. I don't know what means, but I think you can't block her, but you can interfere with me and make me feel that our connection has been cut off, such as letting me have a dream in which I can't contact her. Ah, yes, I understand, you are the goddess of the night, and you probably also hold the power of sleep. It's too easy for me to dream. And why can I directly sense the gods without being affected? It's because you are contacted by me through a layer of dreams. "

A sneer soon came to my mind: "You are very smart and calm, and you seem to believe in your own judgment?"

"Of course, since I woke up, I can live to this day, relying on my calmness and judgment in addition to her support. I believe I can continue to move forward with it. "

"Whether your guess is true or not, she can't help you now. You still have to face the choice just now. Take the initiative to cut off the connection with her and let her return to the dreamland to sleep, or I will help you cut off the connection and send you back to sleep together. "The human figure formed by the starlight slowly turned and turned to face Lynch, and the invisible pressure suddenly increased. "Although she told you that I have no ill will towards her, did she say what about me towards you? You can use your smart and calm mind to judge your fate. "

"Are you serious, Aunt Nix?" Lynch suddenly put away the smile on his face and said seriously, "Do you really want me to die? No, my statement is wrong. I should say, do you really want me to die now?"

The sudden question silenced the cold voice, and the pressure from the starlight figure was also weakened.

"I will definitely not cut off contact with her. Literally, I won't at all, and I don't want to. If you really want me to die, hurry up. I'm in a hurry. It's getting late. I still want to sleep tonight. Yes, no, I should be sleeping right now. Forget it, I bet you don’t want me to die now, so I won’t go through the process and just say it. In fact, I came to see you this time because I also want to talk to you alone. , there are some things I don’t want my neighbors to hear, I don’t have any malice, but I just don’t want to.”

"Why are you betting so much?"

The cold voice softened instead, and the image made of stars sat on the throne that appeared out of thin air, and a chair immediately appeared behind Lin Qi.

Lin Qi was polite and sat directly on it. He relaxedly lit up his pipe and crossed his legs. After taking a few puffs, he sighed:

"I heard some forbidden knowledge in the morning, which is very dangerous. Although I don't think randomly, things like thinking are difficult to control. I still think of some secrets about the supreme. If I guess correctly, the twelve gods of you The recovery process is actually similar to what I am experiencing now.”

"..."

"Collect the divine power one by one, finally enter the legend, master all the powers that the fallen gods should have, and finally reach the supreme, yes, but then? Who is reaching the supreme? Is it myself who has gone through the hardships, or is it the supreme itself? What will happen to me who has gone through so many hardships?”

"..."

"So you see, she said that you have no ill intentions towards her, but not necessarily towards me. This sentence is correct. You just want me to die, but my bet is also correct. Not now, but at the end of the journey. . Now that she's gone, we might as well be honest, am I right, Aunt Nix."
