307: That's Why NTR Is Bad
🕑 Added 2025-07-04 15:08:45 +0000 UTCThe one who revealed their location and direction was Yun Wuji. He had informed Jasmine beforehand and had her prepare the ambush.
The plan was to leave him fatally wounded and on the brink of death. To ensure that outcome, Yun Wuji coated Jasmine's God Slaying Blade with a small dose of Sky Poison, which she used to land the final strike to his heart before letting him escape.
With death approaching him, Yue Wuya would desperately try to find a new successor, and who could be better than his beloved foster daughter Xia Qingyue? The one-in-a-million-years genius?
This was especially true after witnessing the horrifying strength of the Star God Realm. Yue Wuya would immediately throw away any successor he had in mind before and favor Xia Qingyue instead.
How could Yue Wuji possibly compare to a divine genius like Xia Qingyue?
This way, Jasmine ensured that Yue Wuya had died by her hands, while also following Yun Wuji's plan to take over the Moon God Realm.
Of course, Yun Wuji didn't know about the prophecy of Yue Wuya's less than one year death, but he did know that Yue Wuya would receive a prophecy about his upcoming death in the original novel. In both cases, Yue Wuya would be searching for a new successor, so it didn't matter whether it was one year or five years... the outcome would still be the same.
Yun Wuji had also taken into account the possibility that Yue Wuya might not consider giving Xia Qingyue his power. In that case, Yun Wuji still had the ability to forcefully make it happen using the Law of Nothingness, though it would be much more troublesome and painful as well.
Of course, it would only be painful for Yue Wuya alone… Hehehe.
...
"Qingyue." After flying for a considerable distance, Yue Wuya landed on the ground and turned to Xia Qingyue. A purple light flashed in his eyes, but this purple light that had once been able to subdue all under heaven with a single flash had now been reduced to a light that was as weak as the light of a firefly at this moment.
Truthfully, Yue Wuya hadn't spent much time with Xia Qingyue to understand her personality or build enough loyalty toward the Moon God Realm. The only thing that made him believe she would be a suitable successor was her talent, something that shouldn't even exist in this era.
However, despite the possible lack of loyalty toward the Moon God Realm, Yue Wuya was still confident that if Xia Qingyue were to succeed him, she would safeguard the Moon God Realm with everything she had. After all, he was practically handing over an entire king realm, one of the four great king realms in the entire Eastern Divine Region. Protecting it would be no different from protecting her own interests and benefits.
Additionally, and more importantly, he was still confident in his beloved woman, Yue Wugou. With her around, Xia Qingyue wouldn't betray the Moon God Realm, which added another layer of security.
With Xia Qingyue inheriting his power, and the help of Yun Wuji, who showed great talent, and by extension Luo Guxie, the future of the Moon God Realm was secure in her hands.
"Over half a year ago, I visited the Heavenly Mystery Realm." Yue Wuya's voice turned hollow as he gazed skyward, his star-reflecting purple eyes losing their luster. "There, I learned my death approaches."
"The truths garnered from the Heavenly Mystery Realm have never deceived me," the Moon God Emperor said with a miserable laugh. "As the emperor of a king realm, I am still unable to escape my destiny. Fortunately, I had gained a wonderful daughter like you before I die."
"Foster father," Xia Qingyue closed her eyes in pain.
"I know this is unfair to you, Qingyue, but you are my last hope," Yue Wuya spoke slowly, his voice growing weaker. "This 'Imperial Moon Glazed Pearl,' foster father… now entrusts it to you."
From his hand, a glazed pearl gleaming with a strange light appeared.
"No!" Xia Qingyue did not move to take the pearl instead, she shook her head strongly, "Foster father, Qingyue is absolutely unworthy of carrying such a responsibility, I beg foster father to take back his command."
"The Star God Realm has grown stronger so fast and mysteriously. Without me, the Moon God Realm would be in immense danger. Only by quickly having another God Emperor can it maintain its safety," he spoke in an extremely serious and grave tone.
"..." Xia Qingyue didn't interrupt him and listened attentively.
"Normally, the origin power inherited from the Imperial Moon Glazed Pearl would require a very long time before it would once again reawaken in the profound veins of the new Moon God. But Qingyue, it will be different for you," the Moon God Emperor said in an incomparably resolute voice. "You have the Nine Profound Exquisite Body, so this sort of direct inheritance will allow the Purple Pylon divine power to reach its peak in the shortest amount of time and it will even combine with your original power. It will also… allow you to surpass this king… in the shortest amount of time!"
"This is a miracle in the profound way, and it will also be a miracle when it comes to the power of the Moon Gods, but it can only become a reality in your body. To be able to allow the Purple Pylon divine power to shine so gloriously… even if this king were to die ten thousand times, I would be able to rest easy!"
Xia Qingyue's chest heaved but she finally closed her eyes and softly uttered, "Yes."
Yue Wuya stood in front of Xia Qingyue. A special profound formation was formed below him and Xia Qingyue as it slowly rotated. After a long period of time, he slowly lifted his finger, a dot of purple light collecting at its tip… This was a very small dot of purple light but in an instant, it illuminated the entire place in a sea of purple.
The Moon God Emperor's complexion grew incomparably pale and wan in the next moment but his finger shot forward like lightning, lightly striking the middle of Xia Qingyue's brows. The purple moonlight immediately spread out from the middle of her brows, causing her entire figure and the entire world to be engulfed within this light.
Inheriting the power of a Moon God could originally only be done after a Moon God had died and their origin power had been returned to the Imperial Moon Glazed Pearl. After that, once they found the next person who could inherit that power, they would use the Imperial Moon Glazed Pearl to pass that Moon God's power to the next Moon God.
It was also done this way in the other king realms.
This sort of direct inheritance was the first of its sort in the history of the Moon God Realm… and it could only be realized by someone who possessed the Nine Profound Exquisite Body.
Time flowed swiftly in this purple-colored world. Yue Wuya's face was incomparably calm and there was even some satisfaction that could be found in his expression.
Two hours…
Four hours…
Six hours…
Eight hours…
CLAANG!!
At some random point in time, the purple light suddenly completely dissipated.
A layer of sparkling and translucent purple light flowed all over Xia Qingyue's body, down to the very tips of her long hair which was dancing in the air even though there was no wind. Her beautiful eyes opened and in the depths of those eyes flashed a deep purple light that looked like the starry sky.
The face of Yue Wuya, who was standing in front of her, had lost all color. Even the previous greenish tinge had completely disappeared and his hair, which had originally been black and tinged purple, had already turned gray at some point in time
He slowly lowered his finger, before… directly toppling backward.
"Foster father…" Xia Qingyue swiftly walked right in front of him as she thought of using the Purple Pylon divine power she had just acquired to extend his life. However, she was slowly but firmly stopped from doing so by Yue Wuya.
"Qingyue," Yue Wuya looked upward, his voice wispy and weak, "Do you… know… how I felt… when I first saw you?"
"...No," Xia Qingyue shook her head.
"I… met you with… a warm smile… and… treated you kindly," Yue Wuya uttered each word with great difficulty. "Did you know… how many times… I thought about taking action… and killing you!?"
'Of course I know,' Xia Qingyue thought silently.
"Because… you were that… man's child!"
"But… I couldn't… bring myself to do it… because you were also Wugou's child…"
"I hate him… My hatred for him is beyond compare! I dreamed every day… of killing that man… breaking his bones… skinning him alive… roasting his soul in the deepest part of purgatory!"
"But… before I could even find where he was… I learned he was already dead!"
"I hated him so much! I even hated myself for not being able to kill him with my own hands!"
"Because he stained my Wugou, stole away my Wugou… If it was one of my other concubines… I would be able to bestow her to him… as many as he wanted… I could have given him all of them… But why… why did it have to be Wugou… Why…"
'This is getting long. When are you going to die?' Xia Qingyue averted her gaze as a pained look appeared in her eyes, but she used all of her might to suppress it.
"Wugou and I… were in love for a hundred years… and we wanted to live and die together… She and your father… spent only seven short years together… The year she came back, she had terminated her marriage with your father and had not brought back a single thing that had to do with him. Even the clothes she wore… were the ones that she had worn when she had 'met with disaster' all those years ago… But why… was she not willing to allow me to erase the memories she had of your father… She would rather allow herself to become mired in the guilt she felt towards both parties, suffering through that pain and torment than choose to forget him… Why… Keh… Kehkeh…"
Two deep trails of tears ran down Yue Wuya's wan face. The emperor of a king realm was actually weeping… No, the him who had already entrusted the Imperial Moon Glazed Pearl and the Purple Pylon divine power to someone else was no longer the Moon God Emperor.
The current him was merely Yue Wuya, a man who could finally freely express his emotions without care, a man who could finally cry if he wanted to, "Haha... But it doesn't matter anymore... I'm going soon to meet him in the underworld... Hahaha."
"Foster father..." Xia Qingyue bit her lips, her body lightly trembling.
"Qingyue," Yue Wuya's voice was growing weaker and weaker, "Your path to ascension will be laden with countless thorns and obstacles… But all of these things… will become your greatest tests and training, tests and training that will transform you into a true god emperor…"
"I'm sure that with a capable husband like Fei Yang, you will definitely succeed."
"But… you definitely... definitely need… to take good care… of your mother!" His voice was as light as a wad of cotton until it slowly began to fade away like a cloudy mist.
The light in his eyes faded as his head slowly slumped to the ground. Xia Qingyue hovered her hand over his face and closed his eyes. She stood up, staring at him. "Farewell, foster father."

This one's a bit longer because I directly included some parts from the original novel.
