Outside Of Time

892 Wanggu’s Secret (1)

Three days later, as the tribute day came to an end, the Red Moon Shrine radiated a dazzling red light in the sky and soared away into the distance.

Dozens of meteorites of various sizes moved around the heart.

The races that hadn’t left the valley, all wearing the same masks, prostrated themselves on the ground, respectfully bidding farewell.

The departure of the temple also relieved them, and they could breathe a sigh of relief. At least for the next five years, they wouldn’t have to worry about offerings.

However, at the same time they also felt heavy.

This was because according to the time, the day the Red Moon arrived had already entered the countdown.

Generally speaking, the return of the Red Moon to this region had an indefinite time frame, but there was one characteristic that allowed people to make a rough estimate.

That was the frequency of the temple collecting tributes.

When the interval became once every three to five years, it meant that the Red Moon… would appear at any time.

Hence, when this round of life was about to end, all kinds of evil would increase rapidly. In the end, it would be complete chaos and all races would have wars.

It was the same every time, with no exceptions.

“The scene of purgatory is about to emerge in the Moon Worship Region.” On the blood-red heart, the red-clothed woman stood outside the palace and calmly spoke as she looked at the ground.

Xu Qing stood beside her and looked at the distant valley. After a long time, he retracted his gaze and looked at the ground under his feet.

During these three days, he had investigated the heart where the palace was built on.

This heart was strange. It had life force and was still beating. Its pulsating sound had the power to shock the mind.

“The area outside the Red Moon Shrine is filled with organs.” Sensing Xu Qing’s gaze, the red-clothed woman spoke calmly.

“Senior, do you know whose organs these are?” Xu Qing asked.

The woman in red shook her head.

“I’ve investigated before. They aren’t my siblings. There are traces of refinement in these organs.”

“I’ve been sealed for too long and don’t know much about the outside world. I only learned some information about the outside world after eating these people from the temple.”

“Unfortunately, their level is too low and they don’t know who these organs belong to.”

Xu Qing nodded. At that moment, he had already changed into a red robe.

This was the ceremonial robe of the Red Moon Shrine. Other than being a disciple of the Yin Yang Flower Sect, he was also granted the qualification of a divine slave.

“Senior, I once read in some ancient books that your father fought against the Red Moon. Moreover, there are also many legends about the Repentance Plain…” Xu Qing thought about it and still asked the greatest doubt in his mind.

He wanted to know the true origins of the Crimson Goddess.

The woman in red fell silent for a while before speaking.

“The Crimson Goddess has died once before, killed by my father, and during that time, there were grievances, feelings, and enmities.”

“When she returned again, she had already become a god. At that time, I heard my father say that She had returned from the Wanggu Earth Realm.”

As soon as the woman in red said these two sentences, the sound of thunder suddenly appeared in the sky, cutting through the sky and rumbling in all directions.

Xu Qing’s heart stirred greatly. This was the first time he learned some story about the Crimson Goddess. Hence, he couldn’t help but speak.

“The Crimson Goddess wasn’t a god in the past? Also, what is the Wanggu Earth Realm?”

The woman in red didn’t immediately respond. Instead, she looked up at the sky, her eyes filled with a peculiar light. Then, she turned to Xu Qing and spoke after a moment of contemplation.

“Some gods were born as gods, some became gods later, some came from outside, and some came from the depths of the earth.”

As soon as she finished speaking, lightning rumbled again, intimidating everyone.

Xu Qing sensed that something was wrong with the sky. At this moment, some fog actually appeared in the surroundings. After that, a strong wind rose and a storm descended. It even started snowing further away.

These changes in the world appeared at the same time, causing Xu Qing to think of the Heavenly Dao laws.

“Do you still dare to continue listening?”

The woman in red cast a meaningful glance at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing looked at the sky and sensed the mosasaur that was slowly recovering after its body shattered. He recalled the scene at the Ten Guts Tree and nodded.

“You still dare to listen… So be it, let me see how long you can listen.”

The woman in red smiled and continued to speak.

“The history of the existence of the world under the Wanggu Continent has been erased one by one by the ancient sovereigns who unified the Wanggu Continent, so very few people know about it. That place… has always been known as Brilliant Heaven since ancient times.”

“There are rumors that the earliest races on the Wanggu Continent came from there.”

“Later, Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether named it the Earth Realm.”

An even more intense sound rumbled in the sky and the surrounding void instantly distorted. A terrifying pressure came from the world. Regardless of the sky or the mountains and rivers, there was a will rising from all of them at this moment.

Under this huge will, Xu Qing’s countenance turned pale and his mind churned. This change in the world seemed to be telling Xu Qing that these words were taboos of Wanggu.

The Heavenly Daos of the Wanggu Continent didn’t allow this matter to spread.

“Interesting. After hearing these words, the Heavenly Dao actually hasn’t sent the power of silence and forgetfulness. Little kid, the Heavenly Dao favors you very much.”

The red-clothed woman’s eyes gleamed as she carefully sized up Xu Qing.

Xu Qing tried his best to calm down but the will from the surroundings still caused his heart to skip a beat.

“Then, let me tell you another secret. Actually, all the gods’ ultimate goal…” The woman in red spoke with an expression of interest.
