Chapter 311: Familiar Scene, Puzzle Clues (Four-in-One) (Additional Release for 12000 Monthly Tickets in May)_3
Seeing this miracle, countless Moon Spirits cheered in unison.
Qin Chuan and Lin Yue marveled at the miraculous authority of the Main Priest while also heaving a sigh of relief.
At last, they could see Pei Ma'er's smile once more.
With the first successful case, subsequent treatments became much easier.
Before long, all the affected Moon Spirits present had recovered.
Having completed the task of treating his kin, the Yellow Moon Priest nodded toward the Blue Moon and Purple Moon Priests and vanished on the spot, not lingering a second longer.
From beginning to end, he had not said a word, a rather aloof fellow.
"Chief Priest Clary, when do you plan to return to the Second Rank?" the Purple Moon Priest asked while holding the hand of the Blue Moon Chief Priest, her eyes showing a bit of reluctance, revealing a close personal relationship.
"My descent still has some time," the Blue Moon Chief Priest said with a smile. "My true self is in a place of absolute safety, so I'm not in a hurry to go back."
"The last time I descended to the First Rank was over six hundred years ago," she reminisced, her eyes holding a trace of nostalgia. "An embodiment of power, after all, is no match for a true descent."
"That's just Sains' nature, not rudeness," the Blue Moon Chief Priest said with a light chuckle, looking at Qin Chuan and Lin Yue. "No need to mind him."
Qin Chuan shook his head slightly, indicating he didn't mind.
Or rather, the fact that the other had left immediately was somewhat reassuring to him.
The fellow gave him a much more dangerous vibe than Clary.
"I've always wanted to chat with you, and finally found the opportunity," pondered the Blue Moon Chief Priest. "The Moonlight Brew from Gohn Territory is quite good, shall we have a drink together?"
"Sure," Qin Chuan agreed.
He and Lin Yue also planned to express gratitude in person for the previous help from the other.
Additionally, he had already recalled the familiarity brought to him by the recent upheaval.
Come to think of it, Clary was also not irrelevant to that.
"Corpse Wolf·Sosali?"
Hearing Qin Chuan mention this name, the Blue Moon Chief Priest's gaze sharpened. "It seems you've thought of it too."
"The Red moon, Moon Spirits turning into monsters…" Qin Chuan shook his head helplessly. "Fulfilling these two conditions, it could only be Sosali."
The Milian Demon Forest.
That was the first instance Qin Chuan had conquered after the era of instances arrived.
It was also the place where he first encountered Clary.
In the introduction of that instance, there was a line that said, "The Moon Spirit Clan of the Milian Territory will always remember, on the night when the Red moon descended, the old Clan Leader Sosali turned into a fearsome giant wolf..."
Since it was only an instance introduction, and not an experience Qin Chuan had within the instance itself, his memory was not clear.
Not until he saw the descended Clary did the memories of the Milian Demon Forest become clearer, and this detail was unearthed by him.
The same Red moon, the same Moon Spirits turning into something else.
Though the nature of the transformation was not the same, other aspects were quite similar.
"Chief Priest Clary, has something similar happened before?" asked the Purple Moon Priest, her expression tensing up. "Why have I never heard of it?"
"It happened once," the aura of the Blue Moon Chief Priest held a hint of reminiscence. "About five thousand years ago, you probably weren't born then, and I hadn't been promoted to Main Priest yet."
"That long ago?" Qin Chuan showed a surprised look.
He had thought that becoming an instance meant it was a recent event.
"The instance-ization of the Heavenly Dome Rank is mainly based on current reality," explained the Blue Moon Chief Priest. "But historical events from the past in the locale can also appear."
"Because my power incarnation appeared in the Evil Demon Forest, the timeline there was affected after it became an instance, showing the scenes from five thousand years ago."
Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan nodded thoughtfully.
Because Clary's true self was at that location five thousand years ago and returned in the form of a power incarnation today, it triggered a historical instance background?
That was not difficult to understand.
"So, what exactly happened back then?" Qin Chuan asked curiously.
Five thousand years ago, Clary was a member of the Moon Spirit Clan of the Milian Territory, a witness, and a survivor of the event where Sosali turned into a giant wolf, as well as the successor of the Clan Leader.
She should be clear about the specifics.
"Back then…" A glint of memory shone in the eyes of the Blue Moon Chief Priest.
"The Moon Spirit Clan had a group of members in most territories, these groups operated relatively autonomously, each with their leaders, that is, the Clan Leaders."
"Five thousand years ago, there was no Spirit Moon Festival, and at that time the Moon Spirit Clan possessed a special artifact called the Moonlight Treasure Pearl, which had a similar effect to the secret technique of the Spirit Moon Festival, allowing the Moon Spirit Clan to see the moon from the Heavenly Dome Rank."
"The Moonlight Treasure Pearl was used in rotation among the Moon Spirit groups of each territory, cycling once a year, thus allowing each group to bask in the moonlight of the Heavenly Dome Rank."
"This tradition continued for thousands of years, and everyone was almost accustomed to it."
"Until one day, there was a problem with the use of the Moonlight Treasure Pearl." A complex look flashed in the eyes of the Blue Moon Chief Priest. "At that time, the Clan Leader Sosali of the Moon Spirit group in my Milian Territory activated the Moonlight Treasure Pearl, but the moon in the sky turned blood red."
"Unlike the calm and peaceful moonlight, the blood-red moon was filled with eerie powers that made the Moon Spirits feel oppressed and uncomfortable."
"Clan Leader Sosali tried to shut down the Moonlight Treasure Pearl, but it was already too late."
"In a very short time, he lost his sanity and turned into a monstrous wolf-like creature." The Blue Moon Chief Priest's eyes filled with pain. "He became indiscriminate in his attacks, slaughtering much of the group, and only a few tribespeople survived."
