556: Chapter 556 Moonlit Festival

Meanwhile, on the other side of the City of Extreme Evil.

The Temple of Time!

This was one of the most magnificent buildings in the City of Extreme Evil!

The steps in front of the hall numbered nine hundred and ninety-nine, with each step carved with ancient inscriptions, recording the history of the Time Moon Rabbit race!

On both sides of the hall gate stood two giant Moon Rabbit statues, their jade eyes turning slightly in the light, watching every visitor entering and leaving.

Deep within the temple was a pond formed by condensed sands of time!

The lake water was silver-white, and every grain of sand was a solidified fragment of time.

They flowed slowly, as if reflecting the past and the future!

Yue Wen stepped out of the pond.

Her long silver-white hair draped wetly over her shoulders, with faint fluorescence flowing at the tips.

Her snow-white skin was so fair it was almost transparent under the moonlight, enough to make one's breath hitch with just a glance.

She raised her hand and waved it gently, and the water droplets on her body turned into countless tiny specks of light, dissipating into the air.

The maids stepped forward holding her dress.

She changed into that pale purple floral dress, took the white floral umbrella, and opened it.

"My Lady, the welcome banquet is ready."

"I know, you may withdraw first!"

"Yes!"

After preparing briefly, Yue Wen left the main hall and headed to the City Lord's Mansion to attend the welcome ceremony.

Just as she entered the main gate, a burst of whispering came from inside.

"Did you hear? A human came to the city today and inherited Chen Yu's legacy!"

"Chen Yu? The Void Emperor Chen Yu? That was how many tens of thousands of years ago?"

"It's absolutely true! My cousin works at the Bank and saw it with his own eyes!"

"And the City Lord personally came out to receive them, arranging for them to enter the Bank's VIP Cultivate Secret Realm!"

"The City Lord? The God Emperor personally came out? What kind of background does that human have?"

"I heard his name is Chen Yi, Divine-Grade! He's quite handsome too, publicly declared a woman to be his wife, and even spent six thousand energy purple crystals to buy her three heaven soul spirit flowers!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, what kind of divine man is this—"

"But then again, with him being so wealthy and powerful, and having such strong talent, won't he affect the Moonlight Festival?"

"Affect the Moonlight Festival? You mean—"

"Think about it, the first place in the Moonlight Festival is basically a guaranteed pass to becoming a God Emperor! Lady Yue Wen was originally the most hopeful to take first place, and now this person suddenly pops up, having inherited Chen Yu's legacy—who knows what trump cards he might have?"

"That's true, if he really is stronger than Lady Yue Wen, then we're screwed!"

"Shh! Keep your voice down! What if you get heard!"

Yue Wen's footsteps stopped.

She stood behind the door, holding the white floral umbrella, expressionless.

Those whispers reached her ears, every single word.

Her brows furrowed slightly.

Chen Yi?

The human who inherited Chen Yu's legacy?

Divine-Grade?

Stronger than her?

Affect the Moonlight Festival?

Her fingers tapped lightly on the umbrella handle twice.

As the next City Lord of the City of Extreme Evil, as a Prodigy with one foot almost across the threshold of a God Emperor, and as the existence most likely to become the fourth God Emperor, she was only thirty thousand years old this year!

A thirty-thousand-year-old half-step God Emperor, she was the only one in the entire Void Realm!

Wherever she went, she was met with awe-filled gazes, complimentary words, and praises like "Lady Yue Wen is a natural-born genius," "Lady Yue Wen has a promising future," and "Lady Yue Wen will surely become a God Emperor!"

And now, mere servants were actually comparing her to an unknown junior?

And even thought she was inferior to that junior?

Yue Wen took a deep breath, suppressing the displeasure in her heart.

Those servants were just false gods, low in Rank, so it was normal for them to lack discernment!

There was absolutely no need to quibble with them!

But—that person named Chen Yi really came at the wrong time!

The Moonlight Festival happens once every one hundred thousand years and is the grandest Festival in the entire City of Extreme Evil, held concurrently with the Void Realm's Festival!

However, the Void Realm's Festival happens every thousand years, while the Moonlight Festival only happens once every one hundred thousand years!

This Festival commemorates that most ancient prosperous age—the era ruled by Chen Yu!

world malice entities pray to the former Dominator Chen Yu for blessings, hoping he can grant protection to future generations!

Of course, this was not superstition, but a truly existing blessing!

Those who receive the blessing will gain the support of a God Emperor; as long as they don't fall, they can almost certainly achieve a Breakthrough to God Emperor!

This is also why so many world malice entities have recently come to this remote place, the City of Extreme Evil!

Three hundred thousand years ago, City Lord Di Wushuang took first place in the Moonlight Festival, received the God Emperors Blessing, and achieved a Breakthrough to God Emperor;

Two hundred thousand years ago, a human male named Xuanyuan took first place and received the God Emperors Blessing, but unfortunately, he later fell and failed to achieve a Breakthrough to God Emperor, which was truly a great pity;

One hundred thousand years ago, Nolan took first place, received the God Emperors Blessing, and achieved a Breakthrough to God Emperor!

The Moonlight Festival does not have only one spot; the top three can all receive blessings!

But compared to the first place, the blessings received by the second and third places are far inferior!

So it is basically said that only the first place is a guaranteed pass to becoming a God Emperor.

She was just one step away from becoming a God Emperor!

As long as she takes first place and receives the God Emperors Blessing, she can be almost certain—she will definitely achieve a Breakthrough to God Emperor!

The fourth God Emperor of the Void Realm!

Just thinking about it felt thrilling!

Yue Wen held her umbrella and walked slowly into the hall.

The welcoming crowd knelt on the ground, a sea of people.

"Welcome, Lady Yue Wen!"

A gentle smile reappeared on her face as she nodded slightly, signaling everyone to rise.

But her gaze passed over the crowd and looked into the distance.

"Chen Yi."

She silently repeated this name in her heart.

Someone who could inherit Chen Yu's legacy shouldn't be too weak!

However, she, Yue Wen, was not someone just anyone could compare to!

"Interesting, I wonder if you can pique my interest!"

"My Lady, what did you say?"

"Nothing, let's go, the banquet is about to start!"

She held her floral umbrella and walked into the room, surrounded by the crowd.

If that person named Chen Yi really had the qualifications to be her opponent—

Then let's see the real deal at the Moonlight Festival!

---

Time passed quietly during Cultivate.

Chen Yi sat cross-legged on the white jade platform, with a faint golden light surrounding his body.

That light flowed unhurriedly, and every breath resonated subtly with the surrounding spiritual power.

He opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Zhao not far away.

Zhao Zhao was sitting upright with her eyes closed, surrounded by snow-white silver-gray.

The energy of the heaven soul spirit flower had completely merged into her body, and at this moment, the aura within her was climbing at an astonishing speed.

Those snow-white energy threads seeped out from her body and then slowly retracted; with every rise and fall, her aura grew stronger by a fraction!

It can only be said that the Energy Guidance SSS-Rank Talent is still a bit too broken!
