Inside the gym.
Yinsabel looked at the origami child next to Lian Zhen Xingjun, but there was no data displayed on him.
“That child is not an apostle?”
“No.”
Song Shiyi’s eyes were firmly fixed on the man in front of her, and she mouthed, “Yao Zhi is a normal human child, if he is Yao Zhi.”
“Normal?”
Astrologer Lianzhen tilted his head and laughed out, “If these [Substitute Bodies] that are used to host the [Beidou] are considered normal, then that’s also true. It’s just a pity that this boy Yao Zhi isn’t as lucky as you are, his current appearance is no different from the living dead.”
His finger bones gently tapped the origami child’s head, “It’s already empty inside.”
Song Shiyi retorted, “Yao Zhi was originally a vegetable due to brain damage, joining Beidou will at least allow him to regain his physical activity and mobility, as well as part of his self-awareness. This is something his parents agreed to.”
“Then did he agree himself?”
Astrologer Lian Zhen crossed his legs and placed his hands on his knees with his fingers crossed, “Have you guys ever thought that for Yao Zhi, he might want to die more than to live like this walking corpse?”
“There is hope when you live.”
Song Shiyi jumped off the crest of the elephant’s back, the fishing rod in her hand thrown back to the boundary chain behind her, and slowly pulled a long arc-like object from it.
A golden bow.
The bow had a simple, slim blade, a wooden snake coiled wither on the archery table at the grip, and a bowstring as thin as a hair.
Song Shiyi stood straight, holding the bow in her left hand and pulling the string with her right hand, a silver-coloured arrow lost gradually condensed and moulded itself between the archery platform and the bowstring.
At the same time, the left half of her face revealed an excited smile, while the right half of her face remained tense and serious, the two distinctly different facial features forming a strange sense of contrast.
Through Yin Shabelle’s eyeballs, Lu Yao could feel that some sort of ineffable change was occurring in Song Shiyi’s body, as if something had broken through the surface of her body and was slowly emerging.
Moon God.
The Lianzhen Star Monarch sat steadily on the audience stage, his face as normal.
“The [Paving Moon Loss] has been used, so it seems that you have already recognised my identity, right?”
“So, are you going to awaken the Moon God?”
The man didn’t seem to be afraid at all, as he said with an old-fashioned calmness, “Every time you let the Lunar God appear, you will lose a part of yourself. If you awaken her from her slumber again, then roughly how long is the statute of limitations on your memories? Five hours, or four?”
“It doesn’t really matter to me, this arrow will hurt me a bit, but it’s not fatal. You only have this arrow, and then you can’t do anything else.”
He looked at the gold watch on his wrist, “I didn’t come here looking for you. So this will not benefit either of us.”
“As you can see, I didn’t strike out at ordinary people either, that would mean nothing to Hokuto.”
“I’m looking for Nandou.”
Lian Zhen Xingjun leaned on the back of his chair, “They should be anxious if you’re out of contact, let’s wait a bit, it’s good for both of us. It’s impossible to leave this place, but I purposely opened the passageway to come in, so I hope no other lucky person comes in.”
Song Shiyi just stared at the man who spoke, “Why are you the only one?”
“Why?”
The other party laughed dumbly, “You don’t seem to know. The other six Star Lords have all fallen into the Void Zeus and are now drifting somewhere unknown …… In order to deal with the famous Moon God, even if she is in a weakened state, we have paid a heavy price.”
Lu Yao, who was listening remotely, seemed to understand a little something.
The [Beidou]’s original accident was directly related to the [Moon God], and the [Beidou] in turn contained a total of seven Star Monarchs.
The folklore also had a saying about the seven star monarchs of the Big Dipper.
The seven Star Monarchs added up to the complete Beidou Enlightened One.
A thought popped into Lu Yao’s head: could it be that each of the Seven Star Monarchs was a title?
The many titles made up a single main god.
Tyrant had said that the Goddess of Hunting was also called the [God of Fecundity and Nurture], as well as the [Goddess of Rehabilitation] or the [Goddess of Purification]. These names were not mere names, but represented some kind of rule power, or rule titles.
This would explain why he was unable to see Song Shiyi’s [Moon God] status, but was able to see the detailed data panel of the [Lian Zhen Xingjun].
The title deity itself was still in the [Hall of Gods], just standing at the top of the pyramid of gods.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Song Shiyi bent her bow and arrow, confronting the Lianzhen Star Monarch in the stands.
Only the Ten White Elephants in the back strolled leisurely, not affected in any way.
The Lianzhen Star Monarch looked at the gold watch and slowly got up as if he had thought of something.
“Looks like Nandu won’t be coming.”
He buttoned up his suit and took a step down the steps of the audience.
“Just come with me for now, and this friend of yours …… Nandu has plenty of time to prepare. When he comes, I’ll let you guys go.”
The bright boy above Song Shiyi’s head exploded into a cloud of fiery mist, from which a strange man with a feathered head was revealed.
He was clad in a broad grey feathered coat and wore a striped white feathered headdress that was attached to a bronze mask, and both his costume and form carried a primitive wildness, as if he were a tribal priest from the ancient past.
The strange man’s feathered coat was lit with a wisp of misty fire, and these mist-like fires made his appearance even more moulded and illusory.
Lu Yao could see clearly that Ming Zai had entered the [Tian Guan Huo Zheng] stance.
His combat attributes were also greatly strengthened.

[曐 Bird Exclusive Ability] Transforms into Tianguan Huozheng, appearing in the body of fire and drawing in all surrounding fire elements for its own use. Absorption range and effects are related to ability level.
……
With a strange swaying stride, Ming Zai looked like a big dancing bird as he rushed towards the Lian Zhen Starlord.
Numerous fire birds flew out of his flame plumes like wings, and they burrowed into the air, turning into spiralling streams of fire that surged towards the enemy.
Lian Zhen Xingjun raised his hand.
Ming Zai solidified two metres away from him.
The small area centred on Ming Zai was completely still as if the pause button had been pressed.
Even the flames and smoke, the feathers blown open by the wind, as well as the fire mist spewing out from Ming Zai’s bronze mask, were all hardened and jammed, fixed in invisible carriers.
Lu Yao noticed that Ming Zai had a [Drawing a Firmament] inscription on top of his head.
This made Lu Yao feel extremely stressed.
It was the first time that he had confronted a Title Deity in the real world, and his opponent was still able to use the power of rules.
By casting [Drawing a Firmament], the Lianzhen Star Monarch had consumed 5,000 points out of her mana value, which meant that she could cast it at least 5 more times.
Seeing that Ming Zai was in danger, Song Shiyi’s face tensed as the golden longbow in her hand glowed fiercely with luminescence, and she might shoot this arrow at any time.
“Is it coming ……”
Lian Zhen Xingjun twisted her head around fiercely, dodging a large thick sword, she quickly retreated back to the lawn and raised her hand to unfold [Drawing the Ground]. The knight who had come in a rage froze on the spot, keeping his two-handed sword draped across his body.
1 time.
Lu Yao silently counted in his heart.
Having only retreated two steps back, a red flower suddenly appeared on the chest of the Lianzhen Star Monarch, and petals continued to fall from the wound.
She turned around and raised her hand, and Pinkman, who was wielding a thin sword behind her, was also frozen.
2 times.
For the first time, the Lianzhen Starlord revealed an expression of surprise and gravity as he pressed his hand against the petals that kept falling from his chest, “This is a wound created by a special ability …… that actually makes it difficult for me to separate the authenticity.”
Only after the words fell, he suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood.
Two channels of moonlight surfaced on his body, and there were two more ragged holes in his originally neat and decent suit, and a strange white mist gushed out from it.
Astrologer Lianzhen looked menacingly at Song Shiyi in the distance.
But when he noticed that the Moon Loss in Song Shiyi’s hand was still shooting out, his face became extremely ugly.
“Looks like you came prepared, ah, ahem …… Prosecutor Song.”
Astrologer Lianzhen’s gaze rose sinisterly, “Then don’t blame me.”
Two more moonlights lit up on her body, however, this time, Lianzhen Star Monarch didn’t dodge and was surrounded by some sort of halo, reminding Lu Yao of the Buddha’s light behind the Buddha in the rumours.
The body of the Tyrant who had attacked with [Moonlight Sword Blade] was also pinned in mid-air, maintaining the appearance of stabbing out his white bone longsword.
The unfolding of the [Drawing for the Firmament] changed and turned into some sort of barrier that surrounded the Lianzhen Star Monarch.
“Neither of them are good ah, it seems like you really want to kill me ……”
The Lianzhen Star Monarch spat out a mouthful of blood foam and took a step towards Song Shiyi.
Lu Yao continued counting.
3 times.
The mana consumption continued.
As he walked, the Lianzhen Star Monarch suddenly stopped and slowly turned around, gazing at the person behind him.
It was a tall giant with four sharp curved horns on his head, his mouth spitting white mist as he breathed heavily, his thick and majestic body draped in a layer of leaves and moss, as if he had only just awakened from a long slumber of forests and legends.
Faced with the lv99 Divine Descent Giant, the Lianzhen Star Monarch’s brows also tightened.
She stared at Forrest with her full attention, “This kind of thing is ……”
As soon as Forrest appeared to fiercely swing his fist and explode his hammer at her, Lian Zhen Xingjun kept dodging, not daring to let it get close, but instead quickly unfolded [Drawing a Firmament].
However, unlike the previous situation, Forrest was still able to move under this kind of rule binding, only that its movements became incomparably slow, as if it was slowed down a hundred times.
Lu Yao silently chanted, 4 times.
“There’s still the undead monsters in the Flying Leap Zone …… It’s really bad luck.”
Astrological Monarch Lianzhen couldn’t help but curse.
She seemed to realise that it wasn’t good and stopped pestering, directly rushing towards Song Shiyi and unfolding [Drawing a Firmament] on her, freezing her and then attempting to grab her.
Lu Yao said mentally, 5 times.
The moment the Lianzhen Star Monarch grabbed at Song Shiyi, the lawn underneath his feet bulged fiercely upwards, and a huge fish mouth stopped the Lianzhen Star Monarch in its tracks.
In a flash of lightning, the Lianzhen Star Monarch fixed the Knowing Monk again, and she struggled somewhat to break free from the sharp fish teeth, her waist was already ragged from the bite, and white mist continued to roam out from the wound.
The Lianzhen Star Monarch gasped for air.
6 times.
Lu Yao said in his heart.
This last time [Drawing a Firmament] drained all of her mana value, and she was actually able to use the insufficient mana value to unfold her ability, perhaps it was some sort of overdrafting ability of Lianzhen Star Monarch. Luckily, she had a steady hand.
“Where did you get so many high-level apostles …… from the past Moon God’s ministry?”
The Lianzhen Star Monarch looked towards the Knowing Monk with a heartfelt season as she went to grab Song Shiyi again.
A green-robed man blocked in front of her.
“I’m sorry, this young lady cannot be taken away by you.”
The speaker was a tall, thin man wearing a bright green coat, holding a silver cane, and wearing a wide-brimmed black hat with the brim pressed low.
Slymod struck out.
He had been the image of a Slaymod with two leaves on her head in the simulator, looking harmless, but she had also been a senior god of the gods.
The Master Teacher status also caused Lu Yao to somewhat ignore his 120,000 bloodstain and unimpressive battle panel for a while.
Not only Slymod, Forrest was also summoned again, and after being given the [Forest Sword] status by Yinsabel, the two Apostles began to frantically surround the Lianzhen Starlord who had lost his [Drawing a Firmament] reliance.
“Wait, wait!”
“How about …… stopping there?”
Faced with a hard physical battle, this one of the Northern Dipper looked extremely wretched, as if she wasn’t adapted and good at such a strangling confrontation.
Soon the Knowing Monk and Tyrant also broke free and joined the battle.
“Are you guys trying to make enemies of the Northern Dipper! You can’t kill me!”
Astrologer Lianzhen roared in colour.
However, the group of Apostles had already locked her down and attacked frantically with many against few, making up for any chance of her escaping.
The Lianzhen Star Monarch’s life value continued to fall.
……
In a certain kfc shop outside the stadium, Lu Yao sipped a Coke and ate fried chicken, watching the live battle remotely.
He didn’t want to see the point and click, he just wanted to see Lian Zhen Star Monarch explode right now!
Until the Lianzhen Star Monarch’s life value was emptied, and her body was then turned into a large white mist and dispersed, leaving only a paper man and a shiny stone in the original place, both of which were put away by Yinsabel.
Only then did Lu Yao let out a sigh of relief and wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth.
He had watched this group battle with such tension that he had to use food to relieve the pressure, to the point that he had eaten a bit too much.
Luckily, the Chicken Rice Flakes were quite tasty.
