Chapter 505 - 34: Guanghan Palace

"The moon... has cracked?"

Staring in shock at the fissures on the moon’s surface, Lord Tingyao felt his worldview shattered.

In the perspective of the Gods, the moon was far more than just a satellite.

Thus, the impact of the moon cracking was no less shocking to Lord Tingyao than the time he first learned of the "Ten Suns Appear Together" event.

The only difference was that "Ten Suns Appear Together" was a myth from ten thousand years ago, whereas the moon’s fall and shattering were happening right now.

"No, it’s not the moon that’s cracking."

Also staring up at the enormous full moon occupying a third of the night sky, Li Jingshu could perceive more clearly and in detail than Lord Tingyao.

"It’s a phenomenon of spatial-temporal overlap!"

"The moon from another time and space is replacing the moon of our time and space."

Having personally experienced spatial-temporal overlap, Li Jingshu immediately grasped the essence of the change.

Just as Li Jingshu once pulled Li Xudou into her own time and space, a vast force was now forcibly pushing the moon from an unknown time and space into this one.

But because the moon is an eternal entity, its manifestation differs from that of Li Xudou.

However, in terms of danger, the current state of the moon is clearly more dangerous than what had happened to Li Xudou.

After all, in this era, Li Xudou had not yet been born.

So long as a time paradox was avoided, Li Xudou from the future wouldn’t cause significant temporal disturbances.

But with the same situation occurring with the moon, inevitably one side would replace the other until the result of their clash was decided.

Before that, the turbulence caused by the mere intersection of two timelines would be enough to trigger terrifying temporal ripples.

"Wait... something’s not right!"

At that moment, countless scenes flashed through Lord Tingyao’s heavy pupils.

Realizing something was amiss, Lord Tingyao only had time to glance at Li Jingshu before his body vanished like a dream.

Following closely, Li Jingshu experienced a similar phenomenon.

This was the consequence of the causal entanglement between the two timelines pulling every related entity onto the moon.

"..."

When the same happened to Li Boyang.

He simply flicked his sleeve nonchalantly, blocking this causal entanglement.

Along with Li Boyang, the causal links affecting all villagers of Li Family Village were shielded.

Among them, Qiwa, Qing He, and their adopted children had the heaviest ties.

If Li Boyang hadn’t acted in time, using Profound Yellow Qi to obscure this causality.

Their causal connections might have pulled them onto the moon even before Lord Tingyao and Li Jingshu.

...........................

"That troublesome Li Jingshu!"

"I knew I shouldn’t have gotten involved, nothing she gets into is ever small!"

Glancing around, Lord Tingyao realized he had come to a vast, cold, lonely palace.

Even with Lord Tingyao’s stature, he seemed tiny within this palace.

Out of caution towards the unfamiliar surroundings, Lord Tingyao suddenly punched the ground, forcibly drawing the Earth Vein Essence Qi into a Hunting God Longbow.

Clang!

Accompanied by a sharp metallic clang.

In Lord Tingyao’s remaining three hands, there appeared arrows, a longsword, and a machete.

Once his four-armed, mighty form stood firm in the great hall, Li Jingshu’s figure emerged from the ethereal into reality, also appearing in the palace.

"I heard what you said about me!"

Also watching the surroundings warily, Li Jingshu retorted.

"This phenomenon of spatial-temporal overlap only happens to those related to this event."

"If you were just helping me keep an eye on Hou Yi, there wouldn’t be such a strong causal connection."

At this point, Li Jingshu’s voice paused slightly.

"You secretly learned Hou Yi’s archery, didn’t you?"

"That’s Dayi’s archery, and he is very likely one of the masterminds behind this incident."

"At the very least, he must be the origin of this spatial-temporal phenomenon."

"You secretly learned his archery, naturally creating a strong causal tie with him."

Lord Tingyao’s lips twitched slightly, knowing he was at fault, he helplessly sighed.

"If you had told me earlier that the dream involved the hero who shot down the suns, I..."

Before Lord Tingyao could finish, knowing his nature, Li Jingshu cut him off mid-sentence.

"If you had known it was Dayi, you probably would have learned with even more enthusiasm."

Now it was Lord Tingyao’s turn to be speechless, awkwardly shifting the topic quickly.

"Speaking of which, what is this place anyway?"

"Such a large palace, yet so desolate. Could it be a secret realm of an Ancient God?"

As the saying goes, "As long as you’re not embarrassed, the embarrassment falls to others."

Lord Tingyao had obviously grasped the essence, casting glances all around, avoiding Li Jingshu’s eyes.

"This should be the Moon Palace; my brother refers to it as ’Guanghan Palace’."

Thankfully, Li Jingshu didn’t intend to argue on such a matter, promptly revealing what she knew.

"However, little brother isn’t aware of exactly which Moon God inhabits Guanghan Palace."

"Judging from its desolated appearance, I’m even doubtful if there’s a Moon God in this palace."

This was where the importance of lineage and knowledge became evident.

Though Lord Tingyao practiced the heaven-defying Divine Power of Future Knowledge.

Due to lack of information, he had no idea where he was.

In contrast, though Li Jingshu hadn’t mastered Future Knowledge, with Li Boyang behind her, she quickly assessed her situation.

"Head this way; this should likely lead to the core of Guanghan Palace."

Having at some point pulled out her Eight Trigrams Compass, Li Jingshu pointed towards the palace’s depths.

Compared to the massive Eight Trigrams Compass previously used by Lord Tingyao, Li Jingshu’s was not only smaller and more exquisite but also filled with divine light, the needle spinning on its own.

"Tsk tsk, is this the Eight Trigrams Compass personally crafted by Li Boyang?"

Glancing at the compass, Lord Tingyao briefly showed a look of envy.

Though Li Boyang had published the design blueprint for the Eight Trigrams Compass, the details depended on individual’s skill and expertise.

Compared to the giant Eight Trigrams Compass crafted by Lord Tingyao himself.

The one in Li Jingshu’s hand was undoubtedly a masterpiece of the highest caliber.

——Whatever one thinks of, it automatically points towards.

It requires no effort from the user for divination, and the demands on divination skills and cultivation are absurdly low.
