Chapter 1358 - 1344: Memories of the Past

Just as the Moon Lady finished speaking, scenes suddenly began to echo in Baiyu’s mind.

They were not scenes from after his crossing.

But rather situations from before his crossing!

This left Baiyu incredibly shocked and amazed.

His counterpart.

Knew that he had crossed over!

And had been paying attention to him even before he crossed.

Since his childhood, the Black Moon had been hanging high in the sky, sometimes as the moon, sometimes as an eye in the darkness, always watching him grow up.

One might say.

It’s like a super voyeur.

"You’re surely curious now, even shocked in your mind, unable to accept the current situation all at once."

The Moon Lady smiled: "I bear no malice; all of this follows the arrangements made before you died. It was all your will."

"My will? Before I died?"

Baiyu felt utterly flabbergasted.

What is the other person saying?

"Yes, Lord Black Moon."

For the first time, the Moon Lady stood up and bowed deeply to Baiyu: "I welcome your return, as do billions of creatures within the Black Moon World, who have anticipated this day for a long time."

Inheriting the power of the Black Moon, Baiyu could somewhat understand.

However.

Claiming he is the reincarnation of Black Moon seems far-fetched, and Baiyu couldn’t accept it for the moment.

"Wait, I need to know more; if you don’t tell me, I still can’t accept the current situation."

Baiyu said, his voice grave.

The Moon Lady nodded, "I understand; to ensure the success of your reincarnation, you didn’t carry memories of your previous life. Due to the Corruption of the Crown, you were driven insane, and if those memories were carried over, they’d lead your second life into madness.

This life, on Earth, is actually in another universe.

You should’ve heard of parallel universes.

The Spirit Realm serves as a barrier between two parallel universes, like the cream between cookies.

The world you live in is on the other side of the Spirit Realm.

Usually, we call it the Inner World.

The rules of the Inner World are extremely stable, essentially devoid of Spiritual Qi, and Extraordinary Power is almost extinct. Even Divine Spirits find it difficult to influence the Inner World’s state, whereas the universe we now live in is in the Outer World.

This world.

The cosmic rules are not as stable as those in the Inner World, so Divine Spirits who control the rules and laws maintain the operation of this world.

This world thrives on Extraordinary.

Although you had some friends in your past life, there were also some enemies, who were all powerful. If you choose to reincarnate in the Outer World, you definitely won’t grow normally. Hence, you chose to rebirth in the Inner World to regrow in this life; it was your arrangement at that time.

After you gained agency and mature thought, I summoned you to the Outer World as per your past plan, to let you gradually come into contact with the Extraordinary.

The ’Scholar Space’ in your mind is not the system and cheat you perceived, but the Divine Artifact you crafted when you became a god, the Black Moon Crown.

The reason it appeared in this form.

Is because, as an Earthling, your thinking and comprehension were somewhat limited at that time. But now you have reached the Saint level, which won’t be a limitation anymore.

According to the previous plan.

Once you became a Saint, I would tell you the whole truth. I am your most loyal servant, the life you personally created.

Please trust me."

Baiyu gazed at her, saying heavily: "You’re just saying all these things out of the blue; how can I believe you? It’s not that I don’t trust you, but what you say is too outrageous."

The Moon Lady said solemnly: "There should be parts of your stored memory within the Black Moon Crown, memories not tainted by the Corruption of the Crown, which you can safely retrieve. By then, you will understand much."

"How do I retrieve them?"

Baiyu asked.

He still had too much confusion, but most importantly, he needed to unravel the causes and effects.

He was himself.

Absolutely not another person.

"As long as you wish, you can retrieve them. The Black Moon Crown is intrinsically linked to your life, aligned with your intentions and will follow your command. Only the true Black Moon can use it."

The Moon Lady explained.

Baiyu furrowed his brows, hesitating no longer, a thought flashed out, and his Spirit Body instantly appeared within the Black Moon Realm.

Then.

He continued to imagine, making the Black Moon Crown manifest.

Because the Moon Lady had mentioned, this item is a Divine Artifact, not merely the illusion of a Scholar Space.

In the end.

At this moment.

He suddenly felt the Scholar Space being peeled away in his mind, and his Spirit Body reappeared before the Moon Lady.

He held.

A purely black crown, surrounded by countless mist and star points.

Baiyu furrowed his brows.

He could feel that this crown could accomplish many things and was indeed aligned with his intentions without any barriers.

"Memory."

Baiyu silently said in his heart.

For a moment.

The star points on the Black Moon Crown lit up, followed by a series of scenes.

It was on a giant planet where he, dressed in a black robe, was drawing an array covering the planet.

In Baiyu’s eyes.

There was intense madness.

"This way, only this way... the Corruption cannot be rid of; I don’t know how long I can persist before going mad, I can only take a gamble and relive another life..."

"If rebirthed in the Outer World, it would not be able to grow up smoothly. At least, at least until the moment when I can accept the Black Moon Crown, I can’t contact the Extraordinary. Otherwise, the other gods will certainly notice. Some people may seem friendly on the surface, but secretly, they will stab you in the back."

"This is a madness; if my reincarnation ends in accidental death, then Black Moon will completely disappear in the river of time. Hahaha, what an irony."

"May everything go smoothly."

In the last moment of the scenes.

The giant planet, due to the surging Black Moon Divine Power, turned directly into dust, and the array began to take effect.

After watching these scenes.

Countless images flooded Baiyu’s mind, floating before his eyes like a slideshow.

Black Moon...

He truly was the reincarnation of Black Moon.

He recalled more.

He remembered those who worshiped him, the planets he ruled, and the laws of knowledge he mastered.

This is, the Domain of Black Moon.

"Then, how can I recover... what should I do."

For a moment.

Baiyu fell into bewilderment.
