SWNOVELXO Chapter 119 Small Talk About Theology
After Li Yanfu finished telling the truth about the battle between gods, he felt that he had made a mistake. He hurriedly coughed and said: "I'm going too far, let's get back to the topic! The reason why this land has the shape of the moon is because it has been the land of the moon god since ancient times. The ruins of the city in the Ancient Soul Land are Lingyue City."
"So the answer to what you want to know is very simple. The reason why Yuechi Peak is called Yuechi Peak is because it is an important sacrificial place in Lingyue City."
"If you observe the moonset in the center of Lingyue City, you will find that the moon sets from the direction of Yuechi Peak every night, and seems to fall into the sacrificial pool of Yuechi Peak, and the moon sets most directly during the new moon. So there is Legend has it that it was a moon pool used to cleanse the moon.”
After speaking, Li Yanfu poured the last drop of wine in the wine bottle into the wine cup, then raised his head and drank it all.
After putting down the wine glass, Li Yanfu said, "Is that all right? I didn't break my promise, right?"
"No, no!" Fu Han said with a smile, "It's just... you finished the wine before I even finished the meal. Then I have to drink some with you? Let's order some more food and wine."
Then, Fu Han couldn't help but shout downstairs: "Man, add more food!"
This move made Li Yanfu narrow his eyes: "Brother Fu, what you mean is... you haven't heard enough of my nonsense?... You don't contradict this theory?"
Fu Han chuckled and said, "I have liked listening to stories and legends since I was a child. I hope you can tell more..."
…
After a while, the waiter in the store came upstairs. This time Fu Han asked him to make more signature dishes and ordered a jar of clay-sealed home-brew.
After the self-brewing jar was opened, the aroma of wine immediately spread in the small cubicle. Fu Han took the initiative to help the old scholar fill up the wine, and Li Yanfu was quite satisfied.
"Forget it, just ask if you want to know anything. But again, I won't admit that I said it if you go out."
Fu Han nodded and asked: "You said that the battle between the gods is for power, so what is the power of the Moon God?"
Li Yanfu thought for a while and said: "There are no relevant records in this regard, but it is not difficult to infer that it has powers related to lighting, exorcism, and identification of authenticity, as well as sleeping, menstruation, and dreams in the boudoir."
Fu Han was stunned. Even he, a member of the alliance, knew that the power of sleeping peacefully and dreaming in the boudoir belonged to the God of Dreams... Why was it attributed to the Moon God?
So he asked doubtfully: "Isn't that the power of the God of Dreams?"
Li Yanfu smiled profoundly and said, "Who do you think besieged Lingyue City?"
"I see..." Fu Han suddenly realized, and after thinking for a while he asked again: "But the God of Dreams does not seem to have the power to illuminate and exorcise evil spirits."
"Yes, light and exorcism finally belong to the dim god. I have searched for the specific reason for a long time, but there is no result."
"The dim god?" Fu Han asked.
Li Yanfu paused and said in a very soft voice: "It was the dark night that followed."
Fu Han was startled, and then lowered his voice and asked: "The lack of light plus the moon equals the night? I thought light and darkness were in conflict..."
Li Yanfu smiled and said: "There should have been some kind of 'reconciliation' to avoid the conflict."
Fu Han nodded and asked, "Didn't you say you still have the power to identify authenticity?"
Li Yanfu grinned, then looked at Fu Han without saying anything.
After being looked at for a while, Fu Han suddenly realized: "Ah? Secret?"
"Hahaha, you didn't expect to talk about yourself, right? How about it? Do you still want to hear it?"
"Listen!" Fu Han did not hesitate and continued to ask: "But why did this place finally become the kingdom of death?"
"Well..." Li Yanfu muttered: "The Moon God should love his people very much. His people originally lived very well in this land. But other gods brazenly sent troops to the Moon God's territory for the sake of power. Killed the Moon God. In fact, it’s not just Lingyue City. After the fall of the Moon God, there are ghosts wandering everywhere here. In the eyes of other gods, this is just a wasteland, but it is different in the eyes of the God of Death."
"Oh, is it the God of Death who drives the ghosts to the land of the dead?"
Li Yanfu shook his head and said: "I am a fan believer, and I am not partial to the God of Death. The God of Death is indeed kind, and he pities the souls of the dead. So it is not about driving away, but negotiating."
Fu Han nodded thoughtfully.
At this point, Fu Han had already finished his big bowl of fried rice. In fact, he wanted to have another pot, but he was afraid of scaring the old scholars and shopkeepers, so he had to give up. So, he poured himself some wine and took a sip with Li Yanfu.
Although they were just chatting about some legends, they were of great significance to Han.
This time, Fu Han had an intuitive understanding of the war between the old gods. The fierce war between the old gods was to compete for power and improve their own power.
For example, the God of Night was originally a dim god, but after receiving part of the power of the Moon God, he firmly established himself as a god.
What I didn’t expect was that God’s power could be broken down and shared.
Other gods also divided the power they needed from the Moon God.
This reminded Fu Han of cultivating star beasts. Power is like high-end skills and characteristics. When combined with each other, special changes will occur, and even the meaning of god will change. The difference is that beast masters cultivate star beasts, while gods cultivate themselves...
That’s why everyone on the Sun Council must be wary of each other!
After reviewing the conversation for a while, Fu Han found that the questions he asked were mostly out of curiosity, but the most important question at the moment, Yuechi, had not yet been asked.
So he helped Li Yanfu pour wine again and asked, "Mr. Li, is it just a legend that this moon pool can clean the moon?"
Li Yanfu shook his head and said: "No! The moon pool is really used to wash the moon, but it is not the moon in the sky. It is used to wash the star beast [Moon Elf] that is made of moonlight. Of course, it was before the fall of the Moon God. Name, now without the blessing of the Moon God, this star beast has degenerated quite seriously, and is called [Moon Lantern Monster]. You must have seen it before."
"Here we come!" Fu Han felt excited, and then said, "Please tell me in detail!"
Li Yanfu pondered for a moment and began to tell the legend of the Moon God Kingdom.
In the kingdom of the Moon God, [Moon Elf] is a blessing that every Moon God's people can receive. Even if they don't have the talent of a beast master, the Moon God will still give the Moon Elf to accompany them.
Since [Moon Elves] become very inert in the sun, the people of the Moon God are also accustomed to working at sunset and resting at sunrise.
Among the beast masters among the people of the Moon God, the first star beast must be the moon elf. When their moon elves possess second-level star brilliance, they can participate in the moon-washing ceremony held at Moon Pond Peak every month during the new moon.
The function of this festival is naturally to allow the moon elves to evolve.
What surprised Fu Han was that there were as many as 12 evolved forms of moon elves.
Performing "moon wash" on the moon elf in different months will cause it to evolve in different directions.
Unfortunately, no relevant records can be found about the 12 evolutionary forms of moon elves. Li Yanfu didn't know what these 12 forms were.
The people of the Moon God will obey the Moon God's arrangements. When the moon elf reaches level 20, the beast master will take it to participate in the latest moon-washing ceremony. Then the beast master will change his functional positioning according to the evolved form of the moon elf.
The good news is that Fu Han's soul realm is vast, and he doesn't mind as long as the Moon Lantern Monster can still shine.
But there was one thing that made Fu Han think deeply.
Why did the information provided by [Tree of Eternity] only mention that the Moon Lantern Monster could evolve into [Spiritual Moonlight] in the July Pool, but did not mention a word about other evolutionary forms?
Even He doesn’t know? Or is He deliberately concealing it?
