284: Moon God Emperor
🕑 Added 2025-06-08 15:17:58 +0000 UTCYue Wuya had never thought time could be so precious.
As a Divine Master with a lifespan of 50,000 years, time always felt vague, distant, something that flowed endlessly and pointlessly. But ever since he returned from the Heavenly Mystery Realm and learned that he only had one year left to live, every second had started to feel like it was slipping through his fingers.
With each day feeling more precious than the last, the Moon God Emperor began preparing for his death.
He started selecting candidates to succeed him. He spent more time with the love of his life, Yue Wugou. He even began using his blood essence without reservation to improve her health. In the past, he only treated her once a month, since using his blood essence would cut both his lifespan and strength, but now, with his death looming, he didn't care anymore.
And above all else, he had accelerated the search for the place Yue Wugou had stayed before returning.
If there was one thing he wanted to do before dying, it was to kill the bastard who had defiled her. The one she had been protecting all this time. The bastard who took her virginity… and made her bear his child!
He hated that man so much that it burned through every inch of his soul. His heart felt like it would shatter into pieces every time he thought of him. He wanted to find him, rip him to pieces, and burn his soul for an eternity! Only then could that hatred ease.
In the main hall, Yue Wuya sat on his throne, brow tightly furrowed. Beside him stood his younger brother and the strongest Moon God under him, Yue Wuji. He was also the only person who knew about Yue Wuya's impending death… and the one most suited to inherit his position.
Yue Wuji, not Yun Wuji.
Suddenly, both turned in the same direction. A powerful Divine Master aura had swept across the realm. The strength of a 10th level Divine Master made their expressions instantly darken.
"Luo Guxie? Since when did she reach this level?" Yue Wuji said with a serious face.
Although Luo Guxie was known as the number one expert outside the King Realms and a 9th level Divine Master, her strength was never on par with others of the same level from the King Realms. So had she suddenly become a 10th level Divine Master?
"Wuji, go receive her," Yue Wuya stood up from his throne and gave the order.
Yue Wuji turned into a yellow light and vanished from the hall. When he reappeared, he was outside the Moon God Realm. His eyes stayed on the white-haired man standing by Luo Guxie's side before turning to her. He said respectfully, "Fairy Guxie, my God Emperor invites you in. Please, this way."
If it were before, Yue Wuji wouldn't have been this respectful, but in this world where strength reigned supreme, a 10th level Divine Master, who represented the peak of this world, commanded absolute respect.
Just because Yun Wuji railed them regularly, one shouldn't forget that every 10th level Divine Master stood like a true god among mortals.
"I will trouble you then," Luo Guxie nodded lightly and followed him, with Yun Wuji walking beside her, into Divine Moon City.
Divine Moon City was the royal capital of the Moon God Realm. The city was surrounded by gigantic walls bathed in bright moonlight that made the buildings appear divine and eye-catching. The roads were paved with moonlight stones, which made one feel as if they were walking in an illusory region of light with every step taken.
"Haha, it is a worthy celebration indeed, to have Fairy Guxie bless this king's realm with her presence," the moment they stepped into the hall, boisterous laughter boomed as the Moon God Emperor stood up from his throne and received them with an enthusiastic smile, "Please sit, I had people prepare a banquet."
Accompanying him were four other Moon Gods. They all stood up following their God Emperor. Each of them carried a different expression; surprise, astonishment, and disbelief. The birth of a new 10th level Divine Master was a momentous event that could shock not only the Eastern Divine Region but the entire Primal Chaos!
Luo Guxie had been at the 9th level Divine Master, but according to conventional speed, it would be a miracle if she could take the next step in 20,000 years! But now, she had just out of nowhere become a 10th level Divine Master. Anyone would be shocked if they learned of the news.
"Moon God Emperor, please excuse my sudden visit," Luo Guxie maintained a slight smile and spoke politely. "I came here this time to discuss something extremely important with you."
"Oh? What is it, Fairy Guxie?" Yue Wuya's brows lifted in surprise.
Luo Guxie's eyes ran over the people present in the hall before she spoke, "I think it's something better said to you alone, Moon God Emperor."
Her intention was clear, she wanted the other Moon Gods to leave before she spoke.
The Moon Gods, including Yue Wuji, frowned in displeasure. One of them angrily wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yue Wuji's gesture.
Yue Wuya was also displeased. He didn't show it on his face, but his tone changed. "What might it be that Fairy Guxie is so secretive about? To go so far as to hide it from my Moon Gods?"
"Please don't misunderstand," Luo Guxie shook her head calmly. "This matter is entirely related to you. I'm only asking to talk to you alone out of consideration for you."
Yun Wuji stood by her side silently, watching them talk. Although he had been standing by her side, all the people here were Divine Masters, and they completely ignored his existence. Even the Moon God Emperor, who had been talking amiably to Luo Guxie, didn't spare Yun Wuji more than a glance.
In this world, only strength could make a person earn respect.
Yue Wuya's brow furrowed, his eyes narrowing as he stared at Luo Guxie's calm countenance for a while. In the end, he waved his hand, ordering the Moon Gods, "Leave."
"Yes, my King," Yue Wuji hesitated for a short moment before nodding. Under his lead, he took the Moon Gods, who were glaring at Luo Guxie, and left the hall.
Once they were out, Luo Guxie erected a barrier around them and spoke first, "The person who wanted to speak to you isn't me, but my disciple."
"Your disciple?" Yue Wuya's attention turned to Yun Wuji as he narrowed his eyes. He had heard about Fairy Guxie taking a very talented disciple not long ago. Now that he had seen him, the rumors didn't give him enough credit. From his life energy, he was very young but already at the 10th level Divine Spirit Realm.
"Fei Yang greets Lord Moon God Emperor," Yun Wuji spoke respectfully to the man who caused the death of Jasmine's mother. "I am the husband of Qingyue. I came here to visit my mother-in-law, Yue Wugou."
"I heard that Mother-in-law is extremely weak, so I came hastily to help her." As he spoke, he stretched his arms, his palm opening, and before the uncredulous eyes of the Moon God Emperor, the sacred white light of profound energy shone.
"Light… Light Profound Energy!" Yue Wuya's eyes went wide, and he froze in place, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing!
When he heard the first part of what Yun Wuji said, he didn't know how he felt. It was a mix of anger, joy, and hatred... However! These mixed emotions were all suppressed when he saw the divine light shining before his eyes!
'Light Profound Energy is OP. It always works, haha,' Yun Wuji chuckled in his mind. Light profound energy had helped him many times in dealing with people. Every time he showed this sacred white light, people immediately started to believe whatever bullshit he said.
The combination of his acting skills and Light Profound Energy is just too broken!
"Young man… No… Young Master Fei… Please… Please help Wugou!" Yue Wuya recovered from his shock, but he still couldn't speak properly. He shot toward Yun Wuji, held his shoulders, and said frantically. The words came from his mouth in stutters.
He completely forgot his dignity as the Moon God Emperor and ended up begging a youngster who was countless times younger than his youngest son!
The name Yue Wugou was given to her by Yue Wuya. The world thought that the name 'Yue Wugou' was only due to the fact that she possessed the Divine Stainless Body. But they did not know that the word 'Wugou' was him telling her that his feelings for her were stainless and pure, and that there was nothing staining or polluting them.
Wugou (无垢) means stainless or pure
His name was Yue Wuya, so when both of their names combined, it turned into the words 'stainless and boundless.' It meant that their feelings for each other were not contaminated by anything else and that there would never be a limit to their love.
Wuya (无涯) means boundless or limitless
The Moon God Emperor's feelings for Yue Wugou were stainless and boundless. He was ready to do anything for his beloved woman, even if he had to kill himself. Now, with the appearance of Yun Wuji, he wouldn't hesitate to kneel to him if that could heal her.
"Senior, please rest assured. Senior Yue Wugou is my mother-in-law. It is my duty as her son-in-law to help her," Yun Wuji flashed a gentle smile, assuring him.
If the Dragons of Absolute Beginning or the Glazed Light Realm's Realm King saw this 'gentle' smile, they would have curled their tails between their legs and run away!
