Similarly walking out of the Guanghan Palace, the situations of Li Jingshu and Lord Tingyao were drastically different.
Even with the guidance of the Eight Trigrams Compass, the two still took many detours and avoided many dangers before successfully arriving at the entrance of the Guanghan Palace.
And unlike the fragmented Taiyin Star seen by Li Xudou and others.
The moon at this point in time was complete, with a towering tree growing outside.
It was the laurel tree, lush and fragrant, completely incongruous with the surrounding environment.
Under that laurel tree, a young girl dressed in plain luxurious clothes stood gracefully, gently caressing the trunk.
"So it’s you who have come, it seems my attempt has failed once again."
Turning around slowly, Heng’e sighed as she looked at Li Jingshu and Lord Tingyao a short distance away.
That frown slightly wrinkled, yet overwhelming in demeanor, utterly stunned these two future travelers from the later generations.
"What on earth is going on?"
Glaring at Heng’e intensely, Lord Tingyao was the first to react, speaking in a low voice.
After all, he had cultivated the divine power of Future Knowledge and had already seen the intertwined timelines surrounding Heng’e.
Those were the causal nodes where countless timelines were tangled together, evidence of her being the mastermind behind the scenes.
Tangled with countless timelines, Heng’e seemed like the collective entity of Moon Gods from endless spaces and times, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"It’s as complicated as it is simple."
Looking up at the distant Primordial Land, a faint smile appeared on Heng’e’s face.
"Do you see the scene of the ’Ten Suns Appear Together’?"
Following the direction of Heng’e’s finger, Li Jingshu and Lord Tingyao saw the battle taking place on the Primordial Land.
"That is the ’Battle of the Sun-Shooting’ you know."
"My sister has already sacrificed herself, transforming into the ’Sun-Shooting Arrow’ in Dayi’s hand."
"I, as her elder sister, could only watch, just because her ’future’ was already destined."
"I pulled her over from her living timeline, thinking that by this opportunistic tactic, I could revive her."
"But she arrived earlier than I expected, and even became Dayi’s wife in my name."
As she spoke these words, the smile in Heng’e’s eyes became even more pronounced.
It was a self-mocking, pitiful, yet angry smile.
"My poor, pitiful sister!"
"The mortal world is not like the Guanghan Palace, those greedy, foolish gods are not our siblings."
"Such a game of identity swap is destined to bring her disaster."
Fists involuntarily clenched, Heng’e’s voice became sharp at this moment.
"Do you know what I hate the most?"
"What I hate the most is that my sister made such a huge sacrifice, yet that so-called ’hero’ knew nothing at all!"
"In the end, she even begged me not to tell Dayi what had happened."
"So for a long time to come, I have to pretend to be ’pretending to be my sister’, to accompany that Dayi through the last part of his life."
"How ridiculous it is!"
"What makes him deserve such fortune?"
Faced with Heng’e’s harsh rebuke, Li Jingshu suddenly thought of those empty coffins in the inner hall.
It was evident that Heng’e had pulled back more than just Chang’e from other timelines.
"Have you failed to save even one sister?"
"Or is Chang’e the sister you came closest to successfully reviving?"
When Li Jingshu asked this, before Heng’e could react, Lord Tingyao was already terrified and shielded her behind him.
The one in front of them was truly a Great Celestial God, a Transformed Taoist who had mastered Refining Spirit and Returning to Void.
Lord Tingyao could hardly imagine, if what Li Jingshu said was true.
Then having experienced one failure after another, what kind of state of mind Heng’e was in now.
"Do you think I’m crazy?"
Seeing through Lord Tingyao’s thoughts at a glance, Heng’e suddenly fixed her gaze on him and laughed.
"No, I am more clear-headed now than ever."
"Ever since my mother gave up the path of the Dao, transforming into this laurel tree, I’ve had only one goal, to revive my sisters."
"So even if it means defying my father, killing brothers, I won’t hesitate."
Saying this, Heng’e once again looked up to the scorched Primordial Land by the ten suns.
"After all, to speak plainly, except the Great Golden Crows who seem a little innocent, there’s no innocent on that land!"
"Even the Great Golden Crows, they were born with original sin!"
"Besides, I have left a sliver of hope for them, just as my father had left ’lifeline’ for us twelve sisters."
When mentioning the Celestial Emperor, Heng’e uncommonly gritted her teeth.
Only after taking Chang Xi’s place on the path of the Dao, through countless retrospections, did Heng’e realize how cold-blooded her father was.
The death of her sisters...
Her mother sacrificing herself to become the Laurel Divine Tree...
And the disappearance of the Sun Goddess, Xi He...
All these almost inevitably connected to that aloof father.
"So, what is the reason you brought us over?"
At this moment, Li Jingshu finally spoke again.
"I have never pulled you over, only my sisters."
"But such attempts are not always successful, situations like yours are common."
Shaking her head, she denied Li Jingshu’s words.
Heng’e seemed to have regained her aloofness and indifference as a Moon God.
The icy gaze swept over Li Jingshu and Lord Tingyao, and her tone became exceptionally domineering.
"You have either a direct or indirect causal relationship with Chang’e, and the moon in your timeline also has problems, that’s why you came to me."
Heng’e attempted to glimpse the river of time, trying to lock onto the era of Li Jingshu and Lord Tingyao.
But besides confirming they came from the future, an inexplicable force disrupted her probe.
This situation was rare, but every time it happened, it meant that there was a stronger Pathfinder in that era—who didn’t like outsiders prying into their time.
"Since my mother became the eternal laurel tree on this Taiyin Star through self-sacrifice and Dao transformation."
"Almost every era and timeline has a different Moon God, I am just the Moon God of this era."
"But due to birth and era, I am also the Moon God who knows the most ’truth’. "
"No matter which era, which timeline you are from, if your moon has problems, it must relate to Celestial Emperor Hao."
"Tell my sister that her father is not to be trusted!"
