What Was the Moonlight Clan Going Crazy Over Again?

Post: What was the Moonlight Clan going crazy over again lately? [Hot!]

[Have you heard? Those lunatics from the Moonlight Clan have done something earth-shattering again. They blew up another planet.]

[Geez. I heard. Apparently, the only reason this time was that the Starfolk on that planet got so bold they actually dared to try naming it "Moon."]

[Holy crap, they had guts.]

[They probably didn't know about the sixty-six who came before them and got swatted dead on the beach.]

[I remember the planet that got blown up the time before last was just as unbelievably unlucky. It all started because someone wrote a lousy script that not only had the Moon God in it, but also cast an actor who wasn't fit to be seen in public.]

[I know about that. Word has it the Moonlight Clan's Clan Leader coldly said on the spot, "How dare the light of a firefly compete with the radiance of the bright moon? Looking like that, you don't even come close to a firefly. What gives you the right to compare yourself to my god?" No sooner had the words left the Clan Leader's mouth than the blade came down and finished the actor off.]

[The idiot who dared to play the part was a moron too.]

[How can you say that about him? At most, he was stupid.]

[The person above, you're no better.]

[To be honest, those guys brought it on themselves. They knew perfectly well that the Moon God was the Moonlight Clan's reverse scale, but they just had to go poking at it. Weren't they asking for an early death?]

[After all these hundreds of thousands of years, you think the Moonlight Clan is the only one that's gone mad? Open your eyes and take a good look. Under the Spring God, under the Sea God... Which Creation Race isn't crazy? Here's some heartfelt advice from your big brother: if you want to live a long life, stay far away from the dependents of these gods.]

"Well, well, little Yang, hiding out here browsing posts again? We're about to venture into the Chaotic Star Cluster. The captain sent me to ask you to lend a hand."

Before he had finished speaking, a burly man with a full beard casually reached out an arm.

He wrapped it around a fair-skinned young man with delicate features.

The fair-skinned young man was named Yang Zhi.

Though young, his Psychic Power was frighteningly immense.

When he was tested at eighteen last time, his score had already soared past 3S.

Across the entire Alliance,

apart from a handful of monsters,

his talent was practically unmatched, leaving everyone else in the dust.

"Uncle Bai, I know what I'm doing. But I just can't understand why the Alliance lets them do whatever they want. A whole living planet would be such a precious resource in our hands. And what's more, the White Moon Star the Moonlight Clan blasted to pieces this time had an extremely valuable mineral vein buried beneath it..."

Yang Zhi frowned slightly, questioning him with a sharpness particular to the young.

"And what's all this talk about gods? What age is this? We're in the interstellar age!"

"Gods don't exist at all. People in ancient times were ignorant and foolish. Whenever they saw someone a little stronger than usual, their knees went weak and they insisted on putting that person on a pedestal as a god..."

"As for those races, I'm guessing it was genetic mutation."

"If I'd been around in their time and used a little Psychic Power, they would have dropped to their knees and shouted, 'A god has descended!'"

"Little Yang, stop talking! Watch what you say!"

Bai Yang's expression changed drastically. He clapped a hand over Yang Zhi's mouth and glanced around in panic.

No matter how capable little Yang was, he was still flesh and blood.

Compared with a behemoth like a planet, he was as fragile as paper.

They could smash a planet with a single slap.

With his little body, how could he possibly compete with them to see who was tougher?

"Although the Moonlight Clan destroyed the White Moon Star, they did properly compensate the Alliance afterward, without shortchanging it a single coin. And before they acted, they also gave the White Moon Star's residents enough time to evacuate."

"To put it plainly, it's like they paid for the planet themselves and then decided to smash it for the noise. It belonged to them, so even if they smashed it to bits, all we could do was stand by and watch. We had no grounds to gossip about it."

Bai Yang argued every way he could, talking until his mouth was nearly dry.

At last, he managed to quell Yang Zhi's indignant anger.

Yang Zhi patted the back of Bai Yang's hand, signaling him to let go.

Only then did Bai Yang take his hand away, but Yang Zhi's unrelenting voice immediately reached his ears again:

"Even if those gods really did exist, this isn't their era anymore!"

Before the words had even faded,

Yang Zhi shot forward like a slippery fish, plainly striking a roguish "you can't catch me, so what can you do about it?" pose.

Bai Yang watched him recede into the distance and sighed helplessly.

That kid.

He had been fearless since childhood, truly a newborn calf unafraid of tigers.

Everything had gone too smoothly for him all along, and he had never suffered a setback.

What would become of him if one day he ran into a wall and came away battered and bloodied?

When they passed through the Chaotic Star Cluster, Yang Zhi's immense Psychic Power poured forth.

Under his precise control, the enormous spaceship barely skimmed the edges of the meteorites.

It threaded its way through, perilous yet exquisitely executed.

They had a scare, but came through unharmed.

Bai Yang and the other crew members, however, all clutched their chests.

Their hearts had nearly leaped out of their throats.

"You little brat, you nearly scared the souls out of us. You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

Yang Zhi's lips curved, his smile full of youthful swagger and pride. "I had to give you all a practical demonstration of my rock-solid skills and unfathomable strength, didn't I?"

With that, he seemed to get carried away.

A thought suddenly struck him, and he sent the spaceship swooping sharply up and down.

He performed a dazzling series of difficult maneuvers.

The cabin was instantly thrown into chaos.

Several people were spun until they were dizzy and seeing stars.

They finally waited until the spaceship steadied.

Then they scrambled to grab buckets and vomited their guts out.

Captain Li Ze doubled over, retching, as he staggered toward Yang Zhi and cursed weakly:

"You little brat... You're getting more and more outrageously bold!"

Bai Yang tossed his bucket aside, wiped his mouth, and muttered under his breath:

"Isn't that because you spoiled him yourself, Captain?"

He was born with a loud, grating voice.

He thought he had lowered it.

But everyone present still heard him loud and clear.

That was right. When it came down to it, wasn't it all because the captain had spoiled him?

When Li Ze heard that, he shot back:

"What's that supposed to mean? You make it sound like I'm the only one who spoils him. Which one of you hasn't? With a genius as extraordinary as ours, who wouldn't treasure and dote on him?"

"Besides, it takes two hands to clap. You're washing your hands of it, making it sound like you've never indulged him."

The group was noisily bickering, none willing to give way.

All of a sudden, directly ahead of their spaceship,

in the void barely five meters away,

a pitch-black, unfathomable spatial rift tore open without warning, like the single eye of a primordial beast snapping open.

It was chilling and terrifying.
