As he spoke, Shi Wujue turned his head, looking at the other servants in the room, his world-stunning face filled with desolation.

"Hall Master, I am not..." Duo Shu stepped forward anxiously, hurriedly speaking.

Seeing Duo Shu approach, Shi Wujue waved his hand to retreat a step, shaking his head, a bitter smile hanging on his world-stunning face as he shook his head and said, "No, Duo Shu... It’s not what you think... The Shi Family has guarded you all for millennia; it is a mission, a shackle, a burden, a weight that life cannot bear. However, my ancestors never thought of abandoning you. How could this hall, because of her, abandon you and cut off the hall’s and your life force?"

"It’s not like that! Duo Shu, my love at first sight for her is true; my defiance of heaven for her is also true. But do you know why I do this? Knowing that once spilled water cannot be collected, it will push this hall and the Ancient Country to a place with no retreat, why does this hall still do this?"

"In your hearts, you all actually resent this hall, don’t you? You think that this hall does this out of selfish desire to escape this shackle, don’t you? Haha..."

As he spoke, Shi Wujue let out a bitter smile, shook his head, closed his eyes, and continued solemnly, "The facts are not what you think. Today, this hall will tell you why, no matter the cost, this hall must save her and let her go to the Divine Demise Land!"

Saying so, Shi Wujue slowly raised both hands and a touch of white glow started to gather between his palms...

Upon seeing this, Duo Shu and the several servants in the room immediately became alert, their legs almost involuntarily kneeling to the ground at the moment the white glow appeared...

"Our Shi Family is born with the Power of Moon Calling; you know this, so let this hall show you what kind of Moon Glow this hall can summon now..."

As he spoke, Shi Wujue’s hands, shrouded in white glow, slowly moved closer together, and with this motion, the white glow gradually merged...

In an instant, the entire guest room seemed to be bathed in moonlight, translucent white...

A full moon slowly emerged in Shi Wujue’s palms...

Duo Shu and the others, when the full moon appeared between Shi Wujue’s palms, had their faces already on the ground, bodies trembling uncontrollably, earnestly worshiping...

Yet Shi Wujue stared at the full moon appearing between his hands, a slight smile tugging at his world-stunning face as he looked towards the kneeling Duo Shu and the others, speaking solemnly, "Duo Shu, raise your head. You always thought this hall did all this because of personal feelings for Gu Changsheng, didn’t you? Then today, this hall will let you see the truth!"

"Hall Master..." Duo Shu heard this and dared not raise his head, trembling bodied, shaking his head repeatedly.

They are the Sand Sea Wolf Tribe, Sky Wolf Howling at the Moon, for them, it is instinct...

Regarding moonlight, their reverence comes from the depths of their soul, entirely involuntary!

"Duo Shu, raise your head! You all raise your heads! This hall, with the identity of the Descendant of the Gods, commands you to raise your heads and see the truth clearly!" Shi Wujue looked at the kneeling crowd, spoke solemnly, the world-stunning face with white strands entwined, already soaked with sweat...

"Hall Master..." Duo Shu heard and tremblingly raised his head, following his master’s gaze, looking between his hands...

One glance!

Only one glance!

On the face hidden under black clothes, Duo Shu revealed a lightning-struck expression, wide-eyed and filled with disbelief...

And under Shi Wujue’s command, the several servants who raised their heads with Duo Shu, looked at the full moon between Shi Wujue’s hands, all with faces full of fear...

They saw, in Shi Wujue’s palms, a full moon with silver glow, rivaling the bright moon hanging high in the sky...

But this was not what shocked them!

What shocked them was the faintly appearing image on that full moon between Shi Wujue’s palms... 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

A woman crowned, with sharp features, with unruly eyes, beautiful appearance...

Her beauty, with bone-deep arrogance, naturally proud bones...

Gu Changsheng!

Although the image was vague, in the instant Duo Shu saw that hazy apparition, the name of Gu Changsheng flashed through his mind!

In this world, only Gu Changsheng, solely Gu Changsheng, could possess such divine grace!

Even the Princess of the Ancient Country, Fufeng Tianlan, pales in comparison to a mere fraction of such grace!

Gu Changsheng!

The one appearing above this full moon is Gu Changsheng!

"Impossible! This is impossible! Hall Master, you must be causing mischief. How could Gu Changsheng’s image possibly appear upon the full moon? Impossible! This can’t be true..." Duo Shu shook his head frantically, speaking in astonishment, disbelief written all over his face!

He does not believe it!

He refuses to accept such a truth!

How could this be?

"Duo Shu, how long will you deceive yourself?" Shi Wujue’s voice resounded overhead, slow and slightly fatigued, a bitter smile on the face of the one who astonished the world and spoke gently, "Duo Shu, you know clearer than anyone the secrets of my Shi Family, don’t you? This hall is a Descendant of the Gods, with the bloodline of the True God running through us, the power of Moon Calling innate, the moon summoned is but the light of the bright moon above..."

"This full moon corresponds to that bright moon above the sky, Duo Shu, can you see it clearly? She is not chosen by this hall, but by the will of the bright moon! When this hall first saw her, her features seemed to awaken within the bones and blood, and only when using the power of Moon Calling did this hall realize she is the one chosen by the will of the bright moon!"

As he spoke, Shi Wujue staggered, and the full moon between his hands vanished, the silvery moon glow fractured into scattered light, accompanied by the hazy image of Gu Changsheng, slowly dissipating within the room...

"Hall Master!" Seeing this, Duo Shu quickly got up from the ground, extending a hand to support Shi Wujue’s stumbling figure, calling out with anxiety and concern.

"Our Shi Family, though Descendants of the Gods, generations are shackled, unable to break free, fallen to such plight today, even if possessed of Moon Calling power, divine power that reaches heaven and earth, nothing can be changed..." Steadied by Duo Shu’s support, Shi Wujue stabilized himself, calmed his breath, and spoke in a deep voice, "Yet someone inherits the will of the bright moon... the image appears within the bright moon... Duo Shu, do you know what this signifies?"

"Hall Master, your subordinate..." At these words, Duo Shu’s eyes flickered evasively.

"Duo Shu, this hall has deep hatred towards the injustice of heaven and earth, you must know this, as well as this hall and our ancestors’ great hope, to uncover the truth buried in history, you should also know! This hall exerts great effort, scheming along the way, all for the sake of a truth, even if it overturns the world, so be it!" Looking at Duo Shu, Shi Wujue spoke in a deep voice, "Yet who can truly overturn the world? Duo Shu, even though this hall is a Descendant of the Gods, endowed with Moon Calling power, achieving that is not easy!"

Speaking, Shi Wujue waved his hand, separating from Duo Shu’s support, gazed outside the window at the bright moon hanging in the sky, spoke with a lost expression, "Though the Heavenly Dao is flawed, the sun and moon rotate unchanged, plants wither and thrive, time remains as of old, yet the one bearing the will of the bright moon has appeared! Duo Shu, do you know what it means if Gu Changsheng falls?"

Speaking, Shi Wujue raised his hand, pointed at the bright moon high in the sky, spoke in a deep voice, "Look, do you see that bright moon? The image of Gu Changsheng appears upon the full moon summoned by this hall, the bright moon should correspond with it! If the one bearing the will of the bright moon dies, then this bright moon may forever set behind the Western Mountain, never to rise again..."

"Duo Shu, if the sun and moon cease to rotate, this world falls into half daylight and half eternal night, do you know what it signifies?"

Hearing this, Duo Shu’s face beneath the black clothing was full of horror, frantically shaking his head.

Shi Wujue, having walked to the window, extended both hands, spoke in a deep voice, "It means this world is about to enter the desolate extinction, rivers flowing backward, plants withering, creatures facing destruction... If it truly reaches that point, what truth does this hall seek? This entire world would be buried with it, what truth would remain?"

"Hall Master..." Hearing this, Duo Shu’s face instantly showed an anxious expression.

"Duo Shu, it is not for personal reasons that this hall helps her, but rather our shared faith, chosen by the Moon God! From the moment her image appeared upon the bright moon, this hall knew no matter what it cannot let harm come to her! Until the Divine Demise Land opens, the Goddess Palace surfaces again, and the truth of that year reappears in front of people, this hall cannot let any harm befall her..." Saying this, Shi Wujue slowly bowed his head, his snow-white long hair fell with his movement, covering half of his face, "Duo Shu, from beginning to end, she has never been our enemy, in other words, this hall schemed to bring her here, planned meticulously to use her hand to open the Divine Demise Land, seeking the truth of the Ancient Country of that year..."

"It was this hall that plotted against her, used her, brought suffering upon her... It is this hall who wronged her..."

"Tianlan hates her for personal reasons, you hate her because she killed Duo Ao, but Duo Shu, tell this hall, what reason does this hall have to hate her?"

"Clearly, it should be her who hates this hall, yet this hall shamelessly appears before her as a benefactor... this hall is truly the most despicable person..."
