Chapter 302 The Moon of Annihilation! The Evil God Resurrects! The Ranch Has Received a Supply! The Flame of Annihilation (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
In the alliance, "anti-prostitution" generally has two meanings!
The first one is the literal meaning: to be irreconcilably opposed to gambling and drugs.
The second refers to the abbreviation of the Order of the Mother of Twilight.
Despite the appearance of the Twilight Mother Cult during the Battle of Dayuan City, their strongest member was only a Twilight High Priest at the peak of the Morning Star realm, who was easily killed by Lu Yu using the power of the Ninth Finger and the Soul-Stealing Demon Cloud.
But that's because the alliance has made "anti-prostitution" operations a regular practice for many years, for example...
Nothing much to do today, let's sweep up some pornography!
I'm in a bad mood today, let me scan this!
I'm so busy today, I'll just scan this while I'm at it!
The Alliance frequently launches such operations, often using entrapment tactics to target the Twilight Mother's Order.
In addition to this church...
It's really easy to be fooled!
For example, the Pope of the Twilight Mother Order, an ancient giant, was wiped out during a large-scale fishing operation by the Alliance. He managed to escape with his life, but it is unknown whether he perished or is still alive in some corner.
Because of the repeated blows over the past few centuries, coupled with the fact that the Mother of Twilight did not bestow many blessings in order to lay out the Holy City of Hidden Bones, the Twilight Order gradually declined.
That's why the High Priest of Twilight came to power. To restore the glory of the Mother of Twilight's order and eliminate dissidents, he summoned the supreme being, the [Mother Tree of All Desires], through sacrifice, but...
They were lured into a trap by the Alliance, and were suppressed by a large warband on the border as soon as they showed themselves. The evil god's minions they summoned were also sealed away by the White Fox Boss.
They could only wait until decades later, when the Faceless Brotherhood launched a fierce war to destroy the city.
This time, they weren't tricked by the alliance; instead, they ended up benefiting Lu Yu!
This earned him a lot of materials, and he also added a divine beast to his ranch. He even inherited the Twilight Mother Order and renamed it the Sunset Cult!
Commanded by Archbishop Twilight in his twilight robes, this unit is used to handle matters that Lu Yu is unable to resolve personally.
Although the entire sect is just an empty shell, a mere shell company!
There are very few churches related to the sun; the one in the ruins is one. Other religious groups that believe in the Mother of Twilight are not active within the alliance.
Therefore, he is indeed the biggest tyrant right now!
Is the Thorn Church coming to wipe me out?
Although Lu Yu was shocked, he was not afraid, because if Zheng Yi had discovered him, she would have already taken action. Since she did not react, it meant that she did not know that he was the mastermind.
Moreover, as a Thousand-Faced Soul Rat, unless caught on the spot, the Eternal Giant cannot break through the protection of the [Destiny's Protection] skill, unless the True King intervenes.
As for the Twilight Cult, there's even less to worry about. It doesn't even exist. Why would I worry about it being wiped out?
Lu Yu grew calmer the more he thought about it, but among the crowd, there was one person who was even more terrified than him, and that was...
Jiangdian!
"No way?"
He looked nervous, after all, he had just been persecuted by Archbishop Higurashi and almost lost his innocence, a truly dark history.
Could it be that an ancient leader of the Thorn Church discovered this and wanted to help him vent his anger?
Although he also hated the Twilight Cult, he only thought about taking revenge later.
I don't want to be dragged out and publicly executed!
Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, Zheng Yi continued:
"Evil heretics are undermining our Lord's doctrine of procreation!"
Hearing this, Lu Yu became even more certain of his guess.
The Mother of Twilight does not have the authority to reproduce, at least not now; in mythology, her reproductive power has been taken away from her.
Could it be...?
"A month ago, many churches under the Thorn Church reported a large number of missing persons cases. With the joint investigation of the Alliance and the Thorn Church, the culprit was quickly identified as the Creation Moon Order."
They captured humans indiscriminately, turning them into the mothers of moon beasts—the [Breeders]. Even after the Alliance repeatedly disrupted their operations and killed a large number of church matriarchs, they did not stop, but instead intensified their actions. This abnormal and insane behavior has caught our attention.
After extensive divination by astrologers within the Church of Thorns, and comparison with numerous ancient texts, the reason was finally found.
Zheng Yi raised her head, looked at the vast silver moon that filled the night sky, and continued:
"As we all know, the moon has been in a full moon shape most of the time since time immemorial, which is a symbol of perfection. The rotation of the sun and moon brings peace to all things in the main world."
However, He is not unchanging; He also experiences waxing and waning occasionally, though this is rare, occurring only once a year. But each time it happens, it is like the ocean tides accumulating power, reaching their limit every 273 years, and transforming into a tsunami that washes over the entire world.
At that time, the Ancient Moon will undergo some kind of anomaly, and many evil lunar gods will be resurrected. At that time, the astral plane will also be in turmoil, all divination abilities will be interfered with, and the spiritual energy of the main world will fluctuate for more than three days, and at most for a month. Therefore, it is also known as the "Moon of Annihilation".
In the history of the Human Alliance, there have been four recorded instances of the Moon of Annihilation. The closer to the present day, the shorter the time interval becomes, but the difference is only a few months. However, this time, it has occurred a full ten years earlier than we predicted.
Although the alliance had weathered the storms smoothly before, it had suffered enormous losses. This wasn't due to psionic fluctuations, but rather because the [Primordial Moon], [Flourishing Moon], and [Moon Lord's Council] would seize the opportunity to gain a large amount of lunar blessings, creating numerous powerful individuals and causing significant chaos within the alliance.
The Moon of Annihilation!
Everyone frowned; just from the description, they could sense the danger it contained.
If divination is frequently interfered with, the alliance's control over its vast territory will be greatly reduced. At that time, not only the three-month cult, but also other cults will take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Ordinary people are the ones who suffer!
Ye Qiao, one of the candidates for the Holy Maiden, was a tall, slender woman with short, neat hair. She began by saying:
"So, is our target the cult that's been around for the past three months?"
Although the Moon Lord is very strong for ordinary beast tamers, it is still somewhat difficult for him to hunt down three evil god cults.
"No." Zheng Yi shook her head: "With your strength, it is not enough to strike at three cults at the same time. Most of the followers of the [Primordial Moon] are alien races, active on the opposite side of the Great Abyss and on the border battlefield. They can be left to the border war group and the military to deal with. The alliance is responsible for suppressing the [Moon Lord Society] with all its might."
As for the [Month of Procreation], since it involves the authority of procreation, it has been entrusted to our Thorn Church to handle.
The location of the Fertility Moon has been locked by the Thorn Church. It is located in the special ecological secret realm - the [Fertility Tree Sea]. In this realm, all reproductive behaviors are enhanced, and large-scale sacrificial rituals can be performed. By engaging in behaviors that conform to the ecology of the gods, they can summon the Fertility Moon, which they believe in, to bestow its blessings.
This could allow them to nurture a large number of powerful moon beasts, potentially giving birth to powerful, high-ranking evil god's followers.
Lu Yu instantly understood; they were about to have a party.
Just from the description, it's far more obscene than the Twilight Mother Cult; it's the first kind of literal anti-pornography movement.
For something so important, you didn't even think to invite him along?
It's time for a thorough cleanup!
Lu Yu was not nervous at all; on the contrary, he was pleasantly surprised.
He had previously harvested the souls of believers of the Moon of Procreation. Unlike ordinary souls, these souls could be transformed into special lunar pasture, accelerating the growth of black goats in the pasture.
We had just finished the previous batch, and I didn't expect to be able to get more today.
Although the Black Goat God has eaten a lot, it is now just one step away from giving birth to its first offspring.
Based on the daily feedback, it will definitely be a good product; if not, then make it into a whole roasted lamb.
"It would be even better if we could capture another superior being, then we could complete the ranch grazing concept!" Lu Yu thought expectantly.
After all, the first evolution of the ranch required the successful herding of three divine abominations.
After listening, Jiang Ji frowned and said, "Only the reproduction of love can give birth to the crystallization of life. It must be done in moderation. Unrestrained reproduction will only bring destruction."
Yan Yu agreed, "Indeed, these disgusting bastards deserve to be ground to dust!"
The other candidates for sainthood expressed their utter disgust at this twisted reproductive practice.
The other foreign aids were deep in thought, because hunting down large religious groups was no easy task, and one could easily be buried if one was not careful.
Zheng Yi said to them, "The reason why the rules of this Saintess competition have been changed to hunting the evil god cult is because the Pope and the others are busy with an important matter."
However, I will intervene to stop the ancient giant on the other side, while you five saintess candidates, external aids, and numerous thorn nuns and priestesses will be responsible for destroying the sacrificial activities of the Month of Procreation.
The greater the degree of destruction, the more it is equivalent to upholding the Lord's reproductive doctrine, which will be favored by the Eye of the Evil King and grant increased privileges. The one with the most destruction will become the new Holy Maiden. Because it is an official plan, once this calamity is destroyed, everyone will receive Alliance Points based on their contribution, which can be exchanged for some precious treasures.
"Of course, this is an internal matter of the Thorn Church, and it's for the sake of upholding our authority. We don't expect you outsiders to shoulder the same responsibilities as us, but if you come, we will offer you additional rewards."
In short... it's about paying more!
Lu Yu, who had initially remained calm and collected, was the first to express his opinion:
"I swore that I would never be able to reconcile with the evil cult in this lifetime, and I would never allow them to harm my brothers and sisters in the alliance."
As soon as he finished speaking, many nuns from the Thorn Church exclaimed in amazement, "Truly a moral exemplar of the Alliance, his character shines brightly!"
Shameless!
The other foreign players' lips twitched; this guy really was a money-grubbing hermit.
As long as the money is right, I'll take any job!
But this put them in an awkward position. If they refused, they would appear inferior to Lu Yu, as if they were cowards.
How could five proud and arrogant geniuses tolerate this?
Fortunately, there were Alliance Points rewards and the support of the Thorn Church. In addition, the Thorn High Priest intercepted the opponent's Eternal Giant, so it wasn't a matter of life and death.
If they really encounter problems, they won't fight to the death; they can always run away!
They all nodded in agreement.
Zheng Yi nodded in satisfaction and reminded her:
"The new Great Mother of the Month of Reproduction will likely take this opportunity to ascend to the Eternal Sun, so please be careful."
In a time when true kings rarely step down, the birth of each ancient giant will influence the entire world order.
Everyone understood this and was careful of the Great Mother.
"Congratulations on your triumphant return!"
Zheng Yi waved her hand, and the Path of Thorns in the Thorn Church opened, with a large number of thorns intertwined to form a dark green, hoof-shaped portal.
Super-tier skill - Thorn Portal!
Yan Yu and Jiang Dian were the first to enter, followed by the others. Lu Yu stayed behind, making sure there was no danger on the other side of the portal before proceeding.
Stepping through the thorny portal, what comes into view is...
A giant moon!
As if transcending world boundaries, it descended to earth, hanging above this forest, scattering silvery moonlight, illuminating the night as if it were daytime.
But everyone understood that this was because the moon's spiritual energy was too strong, creating a refracted projection.
The true, eternal moon still lies in the heavens; even getting close would be a catastrophe of annihilation!
The 【Breeding Tree Sea】is an ecological secret realm, vast and boundless, stretching as far as the eye can see.
As its name suggests, not only the animals but also the trees exhibit a bizarre reproductive state, with the shortest reaching hundreds of meters in height, growing dense, deformed branches. Shrubs and weeds grow in clusters, and the excessive proliferation makes them look extremely distorted.
It's like a vast ocean of trees, boundless and limitless!
Under the moonlight, the reproductive ecosystem spreads, and just by getting close, one can feel a strong desire to reproduce surging, a surge of complex thoughts, and the stirring of primal instincts.
Once influenced and losing control, it's not just a matter of becoming a beast of desire; it could easily spiral out of control and become distorted.
Click!Click!
"Eek—"
The thorn rings on the thighs of the five saintly candidates tightened unconsciously, piercing their skin. The excruciating pain shot straight to their brains, quickly dispelling all negative thoughts.
boom!
The four Radiant Moon-rank Beast Tamers, including Jiang Dian, relied on their immense spiritual power to contain the erosion.
As for Lu Yu, he remained calm. Even without using the Chaos Egg, his Ranch Puzzle was enough to mitigate most of the negative effects.
The little spider perched on his shoulder, quietly guarding its master. It was pure of heart, and most desires had no effect on it. Moreover, the blindfold it wore was originally from the nuns of heaven and had the effect of suppressing spirituality.
As the little spider evolved several times, this companion item also transformed, and now it can easily suppress the tearing demon eye, and can keep it in an absolutely calm state no matter what situation it encounters.
Except for matters concerning the master!
Egg was also flying calmly in mid-air. As a legendary dragon, it had an extremely high level of spirituality, and the so-called interference of thoughts was nothing compared to the eternal hunger it endured.
The paper knight possesses the "heart of a knight." Under the moonlight, although it does not enter the state of twisted virtue, its proficiency does not decrease at all, and it can resist all external erosion.
As for the team's weak points...
Lu Yu glanced at it and found that the guy was already excited, and he could hear it shouting and yelling through telepathy.
"Shuren, this place is so nice! I feel like I'm going to be filled up... mmm... I'm so full!"
As a mouse who is always fussy whenever it has free time, after getting close to the breeding forest ecosystem, fussy thoughts began to emerge at a rate dozens of times faster than usual.
Even Lu Yu didn't expect that this special secret realm, which was equivalent to a negative buff skill for everyone else, would be an epic enhancement for the mouse.
Sure enough... ruins, there's no need to worry about the buildings collapsing!
The previously excited mouse, sensing Lu Yu's strange gaze, turned its head suspiciously and asked, "Xiu Ren, are you thinking about something very impolite?"
You're mistaken!
Lu Yu turned his head away, ignoring the resentful rat in his pocket.
His calm demeanor also caught the attention of the others, who nodded in approval inwardly.
As expected of the new generation's rising star, he so easily restrained his desires and demonstrated extremely strong self-control. No wonder he was able to rise so quickly from humble beginnings.
Only by resisting temptation can you go further!
Zheng Yi went to find the ancient giant on the opposite side, while the other Thorn Sisters surrounded and wiped out all the believers of the Procreation Moon from other directions.
And search for the true location of that [Great Mother]'s promotion.
After understanding the plan, Jiang Ji, carrying the Thorn Battle Axe, took the initiative to suggest:
"The Forest of Procreation is too vast. For our safety, we must unite..."
"Little sister, you're still so naive!"
Yan Yu interrupted her, straightened the 'human heart' in front of her, and chuckled:
"Although everyone's goal is to hunt down the evil god cult, we are still competitors. I am determined to obtain the position of Saintess. If we get involved together, it will only hinder my actions. Let's rely on our own abilities!"
"Yes, I'm not going to admit defeat!"
"I've long awaited the day I can use the Eye of the Evil King to defy the ancient giants!"
"Indeed, teammates who are too weak will only become a burden to me!"
Ye Qiao, Dai Wei, and Shi Ping, the three candidates for Holy Maiden, also spoke up one after another. Although they did not say it explicitly, their attitude was clear: they did not regard Jiang Ji as an opponent.
Jiang Ji fell silent, suddenly realizing a very serious problem.
In a ring match, Lu Yu could win through various means, since the battle wouldn't last long and his opponent wouldn't fight to the death, leaving him with a lot of room to maneuver.
But this is the battlefield, and the difference between the Morning Star Rank and the Radiant Moon Rank is not only in the level of spirituality, but also in the amount of spiritual energy.
The former is unlikely to be able to sustain a long battle!
As a result, Lu Yu, the dark horse, lost his biggest advantage and became a discarded character in the current version.
Therefore, in the eyes of the four candidates for sainthood, the winner will only be chosen from among them.
"River Dragon Turtle, use your charge attack!"
Jiang Dian was the first to strike, summoning the River-Turning Dragon Turtle. Together with Yan Yu, they rode on its back, and with its massive body, they smashed through a large number of trees. In an instant, sand and dust flew everywhere, startling a large number of birds and beasts, which fled frantically.
Even hidden in the thickets were thousands upon thousands of distorted moon beasts, emitting sharp roars. Driven by their surging desires, they had gone completely mad and dared to attack even a monarch.
"roar!"
However, the River-Turning Dragon only roared once, and a large number of ice spikes condensed, pinning these moon beasts to the ground. It raised its head and looked down at everything.
It will reclaim all the face it lost to Archbishop Twilight!
Yan Yu also took out her exclusive thorn-equipment pet beast - Thorn Kill Turret, a weapon made entirely of thorns and resembling a sniper rifle.
She lifted it up, closed one eye, aimed at the dozens of fleeing moon beasts, and pulled the trigger.
Ultimate Technique - Thorn Piercing Cannon!
Ding!
The firing pins clanged, igniting instantly. A surge of powerful thorn energy gathered at the muzzle, and in the next instant, a dark green beam of light roared out, exploding into hundreds of beams in the air before falling to the ground.
Click click click!
These beams of thorny light easily pierced the brains of the moon beasts, shattering their skulls. These headless corpses, propelled by inertia, ran for a distance before collapsing to the ground.
After eliminating these monsters bred through special breeding methods, Yan Yu could feel that her Eye of Evil's authority had indeed increased slightly, and she was extremely excited.
Jiang Dian, standing to the side, also took the opportunity to gain favor:
"Well done! Keep it up and take the victory!"
"good!"
Yan Yu nodded, and the two continued to work together to kill the Moon Beast!
Seeing this, the other three saintesses were not to be outdone.
Ye Qiao and her helper rode flying pets, Storm Griffins, directly stirring up storms that swept across the land to hunt.
Shi Ping's helper is a wood-type beast tamer whose pet is a plant spirit. By manipulating trees, the beast transforms into a hundred-meter-tall wooden giant and then grabs a giant tree next to it.
Click click click!
Numerous roots broke off and were forcibly pulled from the ground, used as weapons to sweep away everything and carve out a wide road.
Dai Wei's reinforcements were skilled in shadow-type pets, possessing a shadowy eye that resembled a floating, dark eye. They didn't linger among the outer moon beasts, but instead merged directly into the shadows, preparing to find the followers of the Breeding Moon and destroy the altar at its source.
The simultaneous departures from all directions created a grand and impressive scene, but for this vast secret realm, it was merely the tip of the iceberg.
But soon, they encountered new problems.
Ye Qiao originally intended to enter the Proliferating Tree Sea directly from the air, but she soon discovered...
Numerous lunar-attribute rituals were arranged in the sky, connecting the vast spiritual energy of the moon with the countless wildly growing trees on the ground, forming a special anti-air domain.
Unable to fly at high altitudes, and with the low altitudes blocked by a large number of trees, many moon beasts are hidden in the tree canopy.
You could be attacked if you're not careful!
"What a hassle!"
Meanwhile, Dai Wei, who had been moving through the shadows, also stepped back, because the enormous shadows cast by the moon contained such a strong spiritual energy that her clothes were soaked with sweat.
Prolonged travel can easily lead to a breakdown in rationality!
"hateful!"
The situation in Jiangdian is similar; the original intention was to create a unique river environment by having the "dragon turtle" (a mythical creature) stir up huge waves.
But the trees here...
There are just too many!
Especially under the distortion of reproductive spirituality, the tree roots are dense and have even filled the earth. Because of their desperate struggle to seize water, their water storage capacity has reached a terrifying level.
Although it does not affect the water element in the air, it would be extremely difficult to create huge waves over such a large area.
They drink as much as you bring!
"The Month of Procreation anticipated the invasion of foreign enemies and directly took control of the core of the secret realm, transforming the Forest of Procreation into a natural barrier-shaped ritual to buy time."
Yan Yu frowned, feeling that the problem was becoming increasingly difficult.
But this didn't faze them; they could simply push their way through and uproot the trees bit by bit.
But this will slow down your progress, and you have to hurry, otherwise it will be difficult to reach the core altar before the night ends!
Even so, the four of them were still several kilometers ahead.
Among them, the Turtle-like creature with its thick skin and tough flesh charged straight through the forest, traversing seven kilometers.
"Time to go!"
Seeing this, Jiang Ji couldn't help but smile wryly. It was indeed difficult to snatch the position of Holy Maiden from these veteran candidates.
But she had to succeed!
Thinking of this, Jiang Ji looked at the silent Lu Yu beside her, assuming he was feeling pressured, and encouraged him:
"Don't worry, we'll cooperate and won't fall too far behind them."
Lu Yu didn't answer, but simply stared at the pile of trees, pondering for a long time. Just as Jiang Ji was about to speak, he looked up and asked:
"Jiang Ji, do you know the true essence of the anti-prostitution operation?"
"What?" Jiang Ji asked curiously.
Lu Yu did not explain, but waved his hand, causing the rat, who had transformed into the Three Calamities Peacock, to appear. Its beautiful tail feathers unfolded, and the Three Calamities Divine Light lingered on its tail feathers.
"Let's do it!"
At Lu Yu's command, the phantom of the ranch descended, reflecting the drought-affected ranch and bestowing its blessing upon the mouse.
Instantly, the drought-disaster divine light on the tail of the Three Calamities Peacock surged.
It suddenly appeared!
Whoosh whoosh!
Wherever the crimson divine light passed, drought struck, the moisture in the air was stripped away and expelled, and these tall trees withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But that wasn't enough. The Three Calamities Peacock continued to use the [Endless Scorched Earth] skill. Wherever it trampled, the earth dried up and cracked, turning a radius of a thousand meters into a withered forest. The spirit of drought began to activate.
In reality, the area covered is not even a drop in the ocean compared to the entire [Breeding Tree Sea].
"What are you doing?"
The other candidates for sainthood were also puzzled by this scene; it seemed too late to make a move now.
However, he didn't take it to heart and turned around to continue heading inside.
"Even with the help of the Abundant Calamity Seed, how long can a mere Morning Star rank character sustain its attacks?"
Jiang Dian watched this scene calmly, a slight smile playing on his lips, revealing the smile of a victor. He had already ventured ten thousand meters into the sea of trees and was confident enough to help Yan Yu seize the position of Saintess.
However, as he prepared to continue slaughtering the moon beasts, he paused, his mind subconsciously connecting Lu Yu's actions, and his expression changed.
Yan Yu, standing nearby, asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Dian ignored him, looked at Lu Yu in the distance, swallowed hard, and muttered:
"Could it be that this guy is planning to..."
On the other side, Lu Yu looked at the withered forest that the rat had trampled through with the power of natural disaster, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
The paper knight beside him stepped forward and hurled his lance, which was burning with the flames of the sun.
boom!
With a deafening roar, the fire of day and night exploded, turning into a sky full of sparks that landed on all the withered trees, followed by a series of crackling explosions.
Whoosh whoosh!
The drought-stricken divine light continued to sweep across, constantly repelling the moisture in the forest of trees, causing the trees to dry out and creating flammable conditions, instantly igniting a thousand-meter stretch of dead forest!
Whoohoo!
The peacock, which was actually a mouse in disguise, flapped its wings slightly, creating a gust of wind.
At this moment, fueled by the wind, the fire rapidly swept across thousands of meters, spreading chaotically in all directions and unleashing a destructive wave!
Anyone who has experienced a forest fire knows that the source of a fire may be just a tiny spark from a cigarette butt, but once it ignites, it can get out of control in an instant and eventually burn down the entire forest!
The Forest of Procreation, imbued with the vast spiritual energy of the moon and the power of procreation, and further enriched by the water stored within its numerous roots, is normally difficult to ignite, but…
Lu Yu used the power of drought originating from the sun.
It can forcibly trigger a calamity!
At the same time, ignite it with a fire that is difficult to extinguish during the day.
The ever-expanding sea of trees, under the interference of the drought, directly transformed into excellent firewood, continuously fueling the flames and further enhancing their power.
The sea of fire, like a resurrected fiery demon, swept across the land!
"Aaaaaaahh ...
The numerous moon beasts hidden within had no time to escape. They were tainted by the flames imbued with the attributes of day and night, writhing and wailing on the ground in agony before being burned to ashes.
Jiang Ji stared blankly at the scene, her expression one of disbelief.
Standing before the sea of fire, Lu Yu began to expound the profound principles of military strategy:
"To deal with the enemy, we don't need to follow rules, so the first step is to..."
"Aggression burns like fire!"
The forest barrier was indeed very strong, but now...
It's mine now!
