I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

Unfortunately, even though the Moon Emperor preserved his innocence, it would be meaningless if others did not believe him.

Panhuang rushed over in a menacing manner to catch them in adultery, and without asking any questions, he insisted that there was something going on between Yuedi and Mengping.

Meng Ping cooperated, saying that the Moon Emperor had invited him to drink, which was why he had made such a big mistake.

The Moon Emperor was speechless; she only knew these two people on the moon.

As things escalated, Panhuang got his wish and dissolved his engagement with Yuedi.

Tragically, the Moon Emperor was unaware at the time that Pan Huang had orchestrated all of this.

Not only did she not blame Pan Huang, she also felt guilty, feeling that she was the one who made Pan Huang unable to hold his head up on the moon, and that she was heartbroken all by herself.

Faced with this drastic change, her Daoist heart wavered, and the Taiyin Yuanjun began to neglect her.

Upon seeing this, Shen Ming thought that if Taiyin Yuanjun were willing, she would surely be able to find out the truth.

What truly disappointed Taiyin Yuanjun was the Moon Emperor's reaction and performance.

How can one achieve great things when troubled by love?

And so, the Moon Emperor withered away alone on the moon.

Panhuang and Changxi got together smoothly. Although Mengping caused a scandal, it did not affect his future. He became a Tianjiang under Tianpeng.

Until one day, a dramatic change occurred.

Beyond the starry sky, the stars that were once as brilliant as diamonds suddenly dimmed, as if some indescribable darkness was surging out from the endless void.

The darkness swept across like a tide, annihilating all light in its path, even distorting time and space, turning them into a silent abyss.

At the heart of that dark tide, a colossal figure slowly emerged.

It was the same Lord of the Forbidden Zone that Shen Ming had encountered before.

Its body was as black as ink, its face blurred, like a shadow in chaos, impossible to catch. Only its scarlet eyes, like hellfire piercing the sky, were filled with malice and an aura of destruction.

At this very moment, it transforms into an unparalleled calamity, shattering the starry sky as it arrives.

Shen Ming's pupils contracted, and behind him, tens of thousands of chaotic beasts surged like a tide.

He had witnessed firsthand how powerful the Chaos Beasts were; one of them could hold its own against two Dao Lords.

Now, an entire army of chaotic beasts, each one spewing beams of destruction from its eyes, opened its blood-red maws, revealing abysses capable of devouring everything.

Each of the chaotic beasts possessed an aura so powerful it was suffocating, and when they gathered together, their earth-shattering power seemed to make even the galaxy tremble.

"Form ranks! Prepare for battle!"

Tianpeng took the lead in the attack, and countless heavenly soldiers and generals immediately formed ranks, their halberds and shields converging to create a vast celestial battle light.

An epic battle suddenly unfolded.

Shen Ming was observing from the Moon Emperor's perspective and did not witness the entire process.

However, the power of darkness was too terrifying. Although the black light was blocked by the Heavenly River Battle Light, it still caused countless cracks to appear.

Before Tianpeng and the Lord of the Forbidden Zone could even reach a conclusion, the side on the moon had already suffered a crushing defeat.

Countless ships from the other shore fled towards the World Tree, seeking to escape this region.

The Taiyin Yuanjun Daoist Temple, where the Moon Emperor resides, is a disaster area, with dozens of chaotic ferocious beasts blotting out the sky.

She and the others had virtually no chance of escaping.

Pan Huang and Chang Xi happened to be there at that time.

Therefore, Shen Ming saw a resolute and decisive look on the Moon Emperor's face.

"do not!"

Shen Ming's heart tightened; he knew the Moon Emperor was about to do something foolish.

As expected, the Moon Emperor saw it as a way to atone for his sins, to wash away the humiliation he had suffered, and to carve out a bloody path for Pan Huang and Chang Xi.

As a sword cultivator, she even transformed the Great Luo Sword into a protective flying sword, allowing Pan Huang and Chang Xi to leave.

In the end, this place became the final Pure Land.

Endless dark tides and chaotic beasts surged forth, enveloping the entire world as if the end of the world had arrived.

The Moon Emperor stood quietly, dressed in white as snow, with long, silver hair that fell over his shoulders.

Her face was stunningly beautiful, yet it was tinged with weariness. Her starry eyes were cold, containing both an indomitable spirit and a deep sense of sorrow.

Over there, Tianpeng suffered a crushing defeat, and the Milky Way collapsed.

The entire moon is experiencing a calamity.

As the Moon Emperor was about to perish, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone arrived in this world and transformed himself into a forbidden zone of life.

Beside him was a small group of dejected heavenly soldiers and generals.

They neither died in battle nor fled; they chose to surrender.

Among them was Meng Ping.

"The darkness in people's hearts is the real abyss."

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone allowed the Moon Emperor to survive and turned the dojo into a sealed-off area.

Afterwards, all of Meng Ping's heavenly soldiers and generals were petrified in the forbidden area and permanently lost.

Shen Ming finally realized why Meng Ping looked familiar—it was the stone statue that had led him into the palace!

The Moon Emperor remained imprisoned here for hundreds of thousands of years.

Then one day in this era, the Lord of the Forbidden Zone asked Meng Ping to tell him the truth, so that the Moon Emperor would know what had happened back then.

In an instant, the hundreds of thousands of years of severance were completely transformed into anger and endless hatred.

Three thousand strands of black hair turned into a despairing paleness.

Every time I think about sacrificing myself at the end of the month to fulfill the wishes of that despicable couple, I feel like destroying the whole world.

And that's exactly what the Lord of the Forbidden Zone wants to do.

The Moon Emperor's wrath must be unleashed, leading the beings of the forbidden zone to tear apart the World Tree's protection.

The Moon Emperor was presented to the Moon God to vent his anger.

The claim that moonstones reinforce the seal is a lie; the Moon God himself was a sacrificial offering.

Realizing all this, Shen Ming found the world before him had changed drastically and returned to the Moon Goddess Palace.

Shen Ming looked at the white-haired woman sitting down again.

The difference may have been only a moment, but Shen Ming's state of mind was completely different.

The Moon Emperor was thin, with long, silvery-white hair that cascaded down like a waterfall, having lost its former luster. His pale skin, like a dried-up ancient well, was covered with fine cracks, making him appear extremely fragile.

The once stunning beauty has long since faded, replaced by a deep sense of weariness, like the frost and snow of winter, making people afraid to approach.

She remained motionless, only her eyes were open.

Her gaze seemed to hold an ancient resentment and hatred, deep and cold, as if it could penetrate everything and strike the depths of the soul.

Anyone who makes eye contact with her will feel the weight of that hatred, as if all the resentment in the world is concentrated on her alone.

This hatred will be an abyss that engulfs the nine realms.

If left unchecked, it will be a catastrophe.

However, Shen Ming couldn't completely suppress it or forcibly erase it.

"This is a trap. Only if I actually make a move will the Moon Emperor's hatred truly erupt!"

Shen Ming realized that this was also the reason why the Moon Emperor had allowed him to see the past.

"There's only one person you want to kill, isn't there?" Shen Ming asked.

The Moon Emperor nodded slightly, the movement almost imperceptible.

“I will find him for you and bring him to you, no, I will bring you to his presence,” Shen Ming said.

After a full quarter of an hour of silence, the Moon Emperor's lips moved slightly.

"it is good."
