The pitch-black sky was like a giant abyss, seemingly wanting to swallow the entire desert. Within the desert, women dressed in gold and cyan armor, gold and red battle skirts, or plain white dresses, all looked up, their eyes filled with lingering fear.
Within the Divine Court, the God King, high upon his divine throne, gazed at the scene that had appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the Divine Court, a chilling killing intent flashing in the depths of his eyes.
Yet, for some reason, the God remained unmoved. Even though the three were already in dire straits, he still showed no reaction.
However, the hands gripping the divine throne gradually tightened, and faint cracks could be seen appearing on the two armrests of the throne.
Not only that, but black armor had quietly covered Cain's body, leaving only his stern and indifferent face exposed.
An invisible pressure had enveloped the entire Divine Court, and wisps of dark red divine power permeated the empty space. Even through the screen, the faint aura of Death made countless viewers feel suffocated.
"Damn, I can hardly breathe."
"Terrifying, is this the power of a sister-complex? I love it!"
"It feels kind of good, this brother and sister duo. I knew it, Luna is definitely number one in Cain's heart!"
"I'm waving the flag for Kaelu!! /cheering"
Many viewers felt uncomfortable, but the more they felt this way, the more they could sense the anger in Cain's heart.
However, what was puzzling was why Cain was so incredibly angry, yet he never seemed to make a move.
In the desert, Luna looked up at the pitch-black sky, feeling waves of fear constantly rising in her heart. But instead of making her afraid, it made her eyes shine even brighter, like two bright moons.
"Brother, did you face such darkness back then?"
Luna murmured softly. After learning the truth about the Miracle Power and the Curse Power from Athena, Luna also understood why her brother had chosen to leave.
In fact, the unrestrained greed could be said to be a curse. In order not to implicate her, her brother had chosen to leave, choosing to face it alone, facing an unknown enemy, one so powerful that he could not be defeated.
Could not be defeated?
No!
Luna believed that her brother could definitely do it, because he was the most beloved and powerful brother in her heart!
Therefore, she could do it too!
"Brother, I will definitely find you!"
Yes, she must find her brother. No matter how powerful the enemy she faced, she would never be defeated, because her sword still had to challenge her brother!
The clear, cold light gradually replaced the warm and dazzling pale golden light. At the same time, the gold and cyan battle skirt gradually faded away.
The faint chill also attracted the attention of Athena and Xuan Ming, and they both turned to look at Luna. They saw that the originally cold and dignified divine envoy had turned into a cold and aloof swordswoman.
A set of leather armor, dark blue on the upper body and light blue on the skirt, tightly wrapped Luna's lithe body. Silver hair, identical to Cain's, cascaded down her back, and a special crystal adorned her forehead.
From that crystal, Athena could feel a familiar power that made her tremble with fear—Arcana Miracle Power!
"You are, a descendant of the Sin Clan?"
Athena exclaimed. The sudden, shocking news even made Athena forget her anger, and she was stunned.
Luna did not care about Athena's address. Perhaps the actions of her ancestors were indeed disgraceful, and they would pay the price for their sins.
Luna looked down at the Fate Divine Sword in her hand. The battle sword of that year had been broken on that cold night, broken by her brother's sword.
Previously, Luna had only grieved over her brother's departure without thinking too deeply, but at this moment, Luna discovered something different. The power within her was so turbulent and surging!
Their family's talent, or rather, their family's Miracle Power, required a weapon to bear it, and her battle sword had been personally broken by her brother back then.
Luna hadn't thought much about it before, because she could still use Miracle Power, but now it seemed that her growth in Miracle Power over the years could be described as standing still. Although, to ordinary people, it could be said to be rapid progress.
"Brother, is this the gift you left before you departed?"
Feeling the surging Miracle Power within her, Luna understood at this moment that her brother had absorbed almost all the Curse Power within her back then, and even left her with a large number of Miracle Power fragments.
He gave her the ripe fruit, but swallowed all the bitterness of growth alone.
Her hazy eyes gradually brightened, Luna's gaze shifted from the Divine Sword in her hand, and she looked up at the huge Heavenly Demon Corpse in front of her, her eyes instantly becoming firm.
"Descend! Severe Cold Moon!"
Luna waved the battle sword in her hand, and the crystal formed by Miracle Power on her forehead flickered with a hazy, cold light. In the next moment, a dazzling cold moon slowly emerged above the dark curtain overhead, and the silver moonlight sprinkled on the endless desert.
Luna, suspended in the air, was enveloped in the cold moonlight, like a moon god descending on this desert.
With a wave of the Divine Sword, this time, what was waved out was no longer the pale golden Fate Divine Power, but a dazzling silver radiance, reflecting on the endless desert, like a boundless ocean, the floating figure, like a drifting boat, searching for travelers to board.
Above the desert, in the dark sky, the silver moon hung high, and on the earth, the moon goddess held a Divine Sword, confronting the huge and senran evil giant demon opposite her.
On the ground, Athena and Xuan Ming looked up at the radiant figure, exchanged a glance, and then Athena nodded slightly. Subsequently, on the battle spear and round shield, there was an indomitable Divine Power rising.
"Heretic, die!"
On the staff in Xuan Ming's hand, the ice-blue light also began to flicker, and a rich Divine Power was constantly gathering.
A great battle was about to break out!
"Land of Bones?"
Xuan Ming looked at Athena in confusion, then turned her head and looked around, and a bit of solemnity could not help but appear in her eyes, because Xuan Ming also discovered the problem at this time, that is, this place seemed to be somewhat different from the Path of Fallen Gods in her memory.
In Xuan Ming's memory, there were no such places with bones everywhere in the Death Desert of the Path of Fallen Gods. After all, there were not many gods who fell in the Death Desert of the Path of Fallen Gods in total. Even if those mortals who were buried in the desert were added, there could not be so many, not to mention that the corpses in the Death Desert had always been scattered everywhere.
"That's right, Land of Bones, this time, we're afraid we're in big trouble!"
Athena nodded in response with a heavy face, her sharp eyes staring at the ice coffin, as if trying to see through the space and the coffin, to see if the figure lying in the ice coffin was the woman she knew.
"Land of Bones?"
A look of surprise and uncertainty appeared in Luna's eyes. In her memory, there seemed to be such a place, but she had never really seen it.
Athena did not notice the change in Luna's eyes, but focused her attention on the ice coffin in front of her. If the one lying in the ice coffin was really that paranoid woman back then, then they would be in danger today.
"That's right, Land of Bones, this is where I once led my army to fight against the God of Destruction."
As she spoke, a look of reminiscence gradually appeared in Athena's eyes, and her eyes became a little dazed, as if she had returned to that chaotic era once again.
"After the end of the ancient war, the Divine Court was shattered, leaving only the remnant souls of the main gods, carrying a small number of gods to escape, and later, they landed on a fragment of the continent."
"After countless years of slumber, new life was actually conceived on that scorched earth, but..."
One 'but' caused all the original joy in Xuan Ming's eyes to disappear, leaving only a look of worry. She only heard Athena say in a heavy tone.
"However, perhaps affected by the Demonic Qi in the war, the creatures conceived on that fragment were very cruel, warlike, and bloodthirsty."
Athena hesitated for a moment before recounting the unbearable past, or rather, the buried, filthy history.
"So, the gods took action, enslaving all beings called Demonic Seeds, using them to prepare for the distant future while trying to tame them."
Athena didn't notice that when she mentioned Demonic Seeds, Luna's pupils suddenly contracted, but she quickly returned to normal, listening intently to Athena's story.
"And during this time, Great Goddess Nvwa used her remaining divine power to bring the ancient humans back into the world."
"With Great Goddess Nvwa's power, even after being severely injured, she could indeed do that, but after bringing the human race back into the world, Great Goddess Nvwa's divine power must have been greatly diminished, right?"
As a goddess who had experienced the ancient times, Xuan Ming highly admired Great Goddess Nvwa's abilities. Even the proud God of Asura always held her in high regard.
"Yes, after the great battle ended, the God of Fate sacrificed himself to guide us and allowed Great Goddess Nvwa's strength to be better preserved. But after bringing humans back into the world, Great Goddess Nvwa had very little divine power left, and so, war... broke out!"
Athena said in a heavy tone, causing a worried expression to appear on Xuan Ming's face, and she subconsciously said,
"Could it be that a conflict arose between Lord Asura and Great Goddess Nvwa?"
The God of Asura's high regard for Nvwa didn't mean they had a good relationship. On the contrary, the relationship between the God of Asura and Great Goddess Nvwa and Great God Pangu could be described as poor. If the God of Fate hadn't been constantly mediating, the Divine Court might have started fighting before the extraterrestrial forces attacked in ancient times.
"Yes, and no."
Athena shook her head slightly upon hearing this, and, meeting Xuan Ming's puzzled gaze, she softly explained,
"After we settled on the continent formed from that fragment, the God of Asura remained reclusive, researching something special, and rarely showed his face. However, the God of Asura and the God of Destruction were close, and the two always advanced and retreated together."
"So, the conflict erupted between the God of Destruction and Great Goddess Nvwa?"
Luna, who had been listening quietly, suddenly interjected, but in her eyes, which were like bright pearls, there was a strange look flashing. She had a premonition that she was getting closer to the truth, the truth about Miracle Power!
Arcana Miracle must be playing an extremely important role in this battle between the gods.
"Alas! Yes!"
Athena couldn't help but sigh softly. In fact, back then, she didn't really agree with Great Goddess Nvwa's approach, but after all, she was under Great Goddess Nvwa, and the things that the God of Destruction and the God of Asura were concocting together were too terrifying. Once out of control, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Under duress, Athena had to lead her army to fight against the forces under the God of Destruction.
"Xuan Ming, you also understand the God of Destruction's nature. The Demonic Seed bloodlines were violent, and there were even rebellions in the beginning. Although a small number of them developed true intelligence, most of them still had many inherent flaws due to the violent factors in their bloodlines."
"For the sake of the overall situation, and to prevent accidents, the God of Destruction advocated completely enslaving all Demonic Seeds and vigorously developing the continent's power, thereby seeking a glimmer of hope for future crises."
Athena had just finished speaking when Xuan Ming shook her head and sighed softly,
"With Great Goddess Nvwa's benevolent nature, she would never do that, and she would even try her best to stop the God of Destruction's plan."
"Yes, Great Goddess Nvwa felt that doing so would only bring destruction sooner, and so, the conflict was born. Different ideas ultimately led the two great gods to go their separate ways."
Athena sighed. Great Goddess Nvwa's nature was indeed benevolent, but this nature destined her to be unsuitable to be a leader, to be a commander. And Great God Pangu had already perished long ago. Of course, even if Great God Pangu was still around, he would only listen to Great Goddess Nvwa. War was already inevitable.
"And Great Goddess Nvwa was worried that the power secretly researched by the God of Asura, called Arcana Miracle, would completely overwhelm her. So, she ordered me to lead the army to actively attack the God of Destruction's territory, the fertile Land in the Clouds. In the great battle, the once lush and fertile land was directly turned into scorched earth."
If she had another chance, Athena would definitely not do this. She would choose to learn from Great Goddess Nvwa's own clergy and directly imprison her.
