Chapter 12632 Strange Objects
"Hey, Little Star, Fu Jin, do you remember me?"

Ye Chen patted the two women's faces and said.

"Is it... Father?"

"Hmm, it feels like I had a really long dream."

"Woo..."

Fu Jin stretched, and a bead fell from beside her.

"Eh?"

Fu Jin was stunned. This bead was very strange. It seemed to have appeared out of thin air next to her and then fell down.

She picked up the bead, then screamed "Wow!" startled, threw the bead away, and woke up completely. She jumped onto Ye Chen and called out, "Daddy!"

Ye Chen was surprised to see a bead appear out of thin air and then fall down.

Did I accidentally pull up something I shouldn't have when I retrieved the floating brocade?
He took the brocade off his body and picked up the bead.

This isn't a bead; it's clearly an eyeball!
A bloodshot eyeball, still dripping blood, as if it had just been freshly gouged out of a human eye!
Upon seeing this eyeball, Ye Chen actually caught a wisp of faint, chaotic evil energy!

"What is this?"

Ye Chen was quite shaken, feeling that this eyeball was extremely strange, like some kind of chaotic evil object!
Fu Jin said in surprise, "I don't know either, Father."

Little Star also woke up and frowned, saying, "It's probably some kind of strange thing, Ye Chen, you should throw it away quickly."

Ye Chen frowned as he looked at the vibrant eyeball, and suddenly felt a resonance with it!
There's something inside him that resonates with this eyeball!

He immediately pulled out the resonant object, which was a piece of bone!
This bone fragment was given to him by Qin Yechuan, the former Dao Lord of the Sun and Moon Dao Court. It was a secret treasure of the Sun and Moon Dao Court and was said to be related to a certain Chaos Evil God!

Now, a strange situation has arisen.

The bone fragment and the eyeball actually created a subtle resonance!

Ye Chen stared wide-eyed, feeling utterly bewildered.

Could it be that these bone fragments and eyeballs both originated from the same chaotic evil god?
What a coincidence!

He had a gut feeling it was impossible.

"What is this?"

"Is it something from the Chaos God?"

The Goddess of Dawn walked up and looked at the bone fragments and eyeballs, feeling a sense of mystery.

“It’s a bit odd.”

"Never mind, I'll seal it away first."

Ye Chen felt a strange unease, so he sealed the bone fragments and eyeballs in the Reincarnation Graveyard, sealing them with layers of restrictions, and had Haotian Lanshen watch over them.

"Father, what exactly is that?"

Fu Jin was still very curious and asked.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Never mind that. You just came back to life today, so get some rest."

He patted Fu Jin's little head, and then placed her, Little Star, and the Goddess of Dawn in the Reincarnation Graveyard.

The Reincarnation Graveyard is a secluded little world, devoid of any Dao. However, Fu Jin and the others had long been accustomed to living there, so it was no problem for them.

The Reincarnation Graveyard is now quite lively, with the three newly resurrected women, Haotian Lanshen, and Liuguang Empress in addition.

"call……"

All three women were successfully resurrected, and Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He placed his palm on the coffin and released the light power that had invaded his body.

With the help of the Goddess of Dawn, Ye Chen's tribulation of light was not too serious and was easily resolved.

After absorbing a large amount of light power, the dark and eerie creature inside the desolate coffin of the gods struggled violently and resisted, desperately pounding on the coffin lid. But in the end, it could not withstand the onslaught of light, and after letting out a mournful cry, it fell silent.

Seeing that no more black energy was seeping out of the coffin, Ye Chen composed himself, gripped the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword in one hand, and slowly pushed open the coffin lid with the other.

Peeking inside, one could see only some meteorites inside the coffin, shimmering with a strange crimson light.

"Using light to wash away darkness was indeed effective."

"The purification process has been completed ahead of schedule!"

Ye Chen was delighted to see these meteorites shimmering with crimson light.

"Senior, are these the remains of the Crimson Moon Goddess?"

Ye Chen asked Haotian Lanshen.

"Exactly!"

Upon seeing this, Haotian Lanshen also revealed a hint of joy.

Previously, the remains of the Crimson Moon Goddess were corrupted by darkness and evil, turning into demons. Now, all the demonic energy has been purified, and the demons no longer exist, leaving only some meteorite remains.

It is the remains of the Crimson Moon Goddess!
"Can these remains awaken the Crimson Moon Goddess?"

Ye Chen also wanted to awaken the Crimson Moon Goddess. After all, with the resurgence of chaos and the perilous future, awakening the Crimson Moon Goddess would provide a greater boost.

"Well……"

Haotian Lanshen pondered, "It probably won't work, because when the Crimson Moon Goddess shattered, her body broke into billions of pieces. The few fragments we have are probably not enough to awaken her..."

Ye Chen clicked his tongue in astonishment and said, "Hundreds of millions? Where are we going to find so much wreckage?"

Haotian Lan said, "There's no need to search deliberately. In fact, just a small part of the remains is enough to revive the Crimson Moon Goddess."

"Once her strength recovers to a certain level, she can summon the remains back on her own."

"Hmm, never mind, let's try it first and see if we can wake her up now."

Ye Chen nodded and went to the Reincarnation Graveyard, where he piled up all the crimson meteorites in front of the Crimson Moon Goddess's tombstone.

Those crimson meteorites quickly transformed into wisps of spiritual light, penetrating into the tombstone of the Crimson Moon Goddess.

Rumble…

The next instant, the tombstone trembled slightly and emitted a crimson glow.

Ye Chen's eyes widened, looking at him with a hint of anticipation.

The crimson light shone into his eyes, blurring Ye Chen's vision. He felt as if he had fallen into a vortex and was about to sink somewhere.

He was somewhat surprised, but sensed that this anomaly was related to the Crimson Moon Goddess, so he did not resist it, but simply used his internal energy to protect himself.

Soon, Ye Chen's entire being was drawn into a strange place.

This was a vast wilderness, with a cool night breeze blowing. A crimson full moon hung overhead, its crimson light spreading across the wilderness like blood, staining it red.

Ye Chen saw a woman in the wilderness, with a beautiful and slender figure and a katana hanging at her waist.

It is the Crimson Moon Goddess!

The Crimson Moon Goddess's gaze was cold and empty, and her slender hand slowly drew the katana from her waist.

Then, with an elegant gesture, she raised her sword to the sky.

It actually slashed towards the blood moon in the sky!
The blade energy pierced the air, producing a sharp sonic boom, and finally struck the blood moon with pinpoint accuracy!
Rumble!
The blood moon was cleaved in two, and then the entire moon, under the impact of the fierce blade energy, shattered into billions of pieces, turning into countless meteors that shot off in all directions.

From the ground came screams and cries of agony.

It turns out that the land under the red moon was home to many cities and was a prosperous territory.

But now, the crimson moon is shattered, and its remains turn into a rain of meteors and fire, causing the people in those cities to suffer an apocalyptic calamity, being crushed and burned to death by the meteor shower.

That once prosperous land was quickly reduced to ruins.

The Crimson Moon Goddess stood in the wilderness, gazing intently at the tragic scene in the distance.

Ye Chen was also quite taken aback by the scene before him. He stood there stunned for a long while before softly calling out, "Goddess of the Crimson Moon?"

Upon hearing Ye Chen's voice, the Crimson Moon Goddess trembled slightly. Turning around, her fair face was already pale. She paused for a moment, then revealed a somewhat desolate smile, and said:

"It's you, Lord of Reincarnation."

Ye Chen looked around at the world, a strange feeling creeping into his heart, and said, "Where is this...?"

The Crimson Moon Goddess seemed to have calmed down and said, "This is my dream."

"If you can enter my dream, then my revival must not be far off."

Ye Chen said, "So this is your dream. Then... what happened just now?"

He didn't understand; it seemed that the Crimson Moon Goddess had just personally wielded her sword and shattered the crimson moon in the sky.

A bitter smile flickered across the Crimson Moon Goddess's blood-red eyes as she spoke:
"It was me, I killed myself."

"This is the most painful memory I ever had, now it's become a dream that keeps replaying itself."

"In my dream, I was numb and empty. I didn't even know who I was until you used the Time God of Borrowing the Future to awaken me and I came to my senses."

"I then realized that I was not dead, but had just been dreaming."

Her words were so bizarre that Ye Chen couldn't understand them at first, and said:

"what?"

"You killed yourself?"

"How is this going?"

The Crimson Moon Goddess said bitterly, "The outside world has always believed that the shattering and fall of the March Goddess was caused by demons."

But actually it isn't.

"At least, I am not."

"I killed myself. I killed myself."

Ye Chen recalled the scene of her slicing through the moon with a single strike, and he understood somewhat, saying:
"Oh...so, you committed suicide?"

"Why..."

He carefully considered his words, trying to speak in a gentle tone so as not to offend the Crimson Moon Goddess.

The Crimson Moon Goddess sighed, picked up the katana in her hand, gently stroked it, and said:

"What I cultivate is the Path of Heavenly Slaughter, which is a mixture of killing and natural disasters and chaos."

"This Heavenly Killing Path, though powerful, will also erode oneself."

"Back then, I had a premonition that I might go insane, so I simply took action in advance and killed myself."

Ye Chen exclaimed "Ah!" He hadn't expected this turn of events. Looking at the distant city, now a raging wasteland, he said:

Are all the people in that territory your subjects?

The Crimson Moon Goddess said, "Yes, I used my last remnants to kill them, which can be considered as giving them a quick death."

"Otherwise, if demons come, they will only die a more miserable death."

"Actually, even if I didn't commit suicide, I couldn't defend my territory. Sooner or later, it would be conquered by demons."

"At that time, I'm afraid I'll have to endure endless humiliation. I'll commit suicide in advance, at least to preserve my chastity."

When she mentioned "demons," her eyes held a numb fear.

This fear arises from the accumulation of so much despair and sorrow that people eventually become numb.

"Is it... the Chaos God?"

Ye Chen asked.

The Crimson Moon Goddess smiled wryly, "Yes, but no."

Ye Chen asked, "What?"

The Crimson Moon Goddess said, "In the era I lived in, the chaotic energy was very weak. The main disasters in the world were the conflict between the two supreme gods of Yin and Yang, which caused all kinds of riots and chaos."

"My two older sisters and I discovered a path called 'The Moon' in an ancient secret manual."

Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he asked, "The Ancient God Path?"

The Crimson Moon Goddess said, "Yes, you are very clever, Lord of Reincarnation, you guessed it right away."

"That is the one among the twelve ancient god pathways, named [the Moon]."

"By embarking on this path, one can become the moon, illuminating a region and protecting the world."

"My two older sisters and I embarked on the path of the Moon God, and in the end, even our physical bodies were transformed into celestial bodies like the Moon."

“I am Chiyue, and my two older sisters are Huanyue and Yuanyue.”

"Using the [Moon] pathway, we created a sanctuary, but in the end..."

At this point, the Crimson Moon Goddess sighed and said no more.

Ye Chen quickly asked, "What happened next?"

The Crimson Moon Goddess sighed and smiled, saying, "Never mind, I don't want to talk about it. Those karmic consequences are too heavy. Let's talk about them later."

Looking at her desolate appearance, Ye Chen sighed and said, "Well, we'll talk about it later. You should get some rest."

The Crimson Moon Goddess nodded gently, gazing at Ye Chen. Suddenly, her eyes reddened, and she stepped forward to hug Ye Chen tightly.

She buried her head in Ye Chen's chest and cried silently.

Ye Chen knew that she must have suffered a lot in the past, so he wanted to hug her and comfort her.

But when Ye Chen reached out and touched the body of the Crimson Moon Goddess, he found that he had touched nothing, as if he had touched an illusion of thin air.

The world around me rapidly distorted, light and shadow became chaotic, and the dream vanished.

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment. He opened and closed his eyes and found himself back in the Reincarnation Graveyard. Everything that had just happened was a dream.

Before our eyes, all the red light on the tombstone of the Crimson Moon Goddess had receded, and the entire tombstone had fallen into complete silence.

"Sigh, no, the number of wreckage is still not enough."

"We need to find something else before we can possibly awaken the Crimson Moon Goddess."

Haotian Lan sighed, looking rather helpless.

He seemed unaware that Ye Chen had just sleepwalked and met the Crimson Moon Goddess in his dream.

"senior……"

Ye Chen wanted to tell what had just happened, but he discovered that a teardrop-shaped crystal had appeared in his palm at some point!

The crystal was the color of blood, and Ye Chen was shocked when he held it in his hand.

These are the tears of the Crimson Moon Goddess!
He actually brought out the tears of the Crimson Moon Goddess in her dream!
Holding the tear in his hand, Ye Chen seemed to hear the sobbing of the Crimson Moon Goddess in a daze.

This seemingly ruthless, cold-blooded, and fierce goddess of war also has a vulnerable and pitiful side.

Haotian Lan asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Chen said, "It's alright... Since we can't awaken the Crimson Moon Goddess for the time being, we'll think of another way later."

When Ye Chen emerged from the Reincarnation Graveyard, he ultimately did not reveal the secret that the Crimson Moon Goddess's death was actually a suicide.

Stepping outside, Ye Chen stood atop the sea of ​​morning flowers, feeling the gentle breeze and gazing at the bright moon in the sky, his heart deeply moved.

Although the Crimson Moon Goddess committed suicide, it must have been related to the coercion of demons.

Those demons, however, seem to be related to the Chaos God!

Ye Chen had many thoughts swirling in his mind, but he also knew that thinking too much would be useless and he couldn't change anything now, so he calmed his mind and stopped overthinking.

Over the next few days, Ye Chen leisurely lay down and enjoyed himself in the sea of ​​flowers at dawn.

After lying in bed for several days, a maid came to report: "Master, there are guests visiting outside who claim to be called 'Jin'."

When Ye Chen heard that Jin had arrived, he thought to himself, "This guy has finally come."

He went out to greet him and, sure enough, saw a man in a red robe standing outside the sea of ​​flowers.

The man was tall and straight, and it was indeed Jin, but his aura was restrained, unlike his usual raging flames.

"Good brother, long time no see!"

As soon as Jin saw Ye Chen, he excitedly walked up to hug him.

Ye Chen raised his hand to stop him and laughed, "It'll only be a few days."

Jin exclaimed excitedly, "A day apart feels like three autumns!"

"Brother, I've missed you so much!"

Ye Chen wouldn't let him hug him, so he held Ye Chen's hand tightly.

Ye Chen led him into the palace, saying as they walked:
"Brother Jin, you seem... a little too enthusiastic."

Jin said, "There's no way I can hide it from you, my good brother, I've been relying on you as a guiding light."

"As long as you are in my heart, I will never fall into depravity or lose my way."

"We two brothers have to be best friends for life! I gave you the Fragment of the Heavenly Flame, you can't be ungrateful!"

His last words were rather serious.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "If you don't let me down, I will never let you down either."

Jin laughed heartily and said, "Good brother!"

The two entered the palace hall, where Ye Chen ordered a maid to serve fine wine, and he and Jin drank together.

After several rounds of drinks, Jin, having thoroughly enjoyed himself, let out a hearty sigh before solemnly stating:
"Good brother, do you still remember our agreement?"

Ye Chen said, "I remember you found out the whereabouts of the Stone of Destiny?"

"Shh!" Jin immediately made a shushing gesture, afraid that someone would find out, and winked at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen nodded, then dismissed the servants, cast more than a dozen isolation talismans, and said, "Can you speak now?"

Jin still seemed a bit cautious, saying, "Well, I've been deducing countless secrets of heaven these past few days, and I actually found one."

"On the Yin-Yang Heavenly Continent, there is a place where the Stone of Destiny may exist!"

"If we can obtain the Stone of Destiny, we might be able to break through the limitations of heaven and earth and truly possess the power of a pillar god!"

Ye Chen asked, "Is it just possible? Where?"

Jin composed himself and said, "The Stone of Destiny has immense karma. Even outside this world, it is a rare thing, let alone on the other side of the starry sky."

"It would be remarkable if we could even deduce a little bit of the truth."

The Stone of Destiny is incredibly precious. The gods possess the great supernatural power of creating something from nothing and multiplying one into ten thousand. However, to obtain the Stone of Destiny, one must either painstakingly search and excavate it in the world or expend one's own divine essence to forge it, at a tremendous cost.

It was already an incredible stroke of luck that Jin was able to deduce even a hint of what might be going on.

"I've discovered a Crimson Sea, its waters boiling like fire. The Stone of Destiny may very well be hidden within it!"

Jin licked his lips and told Ye Chen about his discovery.
