The Moonlight Clan members who arrived afterward.

The moment their feet touched the ground, before they had even caught their breath, they all turned their gazes in the same direction.

—Their god.

Then they saw that their clan leader was standing beside their god.

His eyes had not moved away from their god for even a moment.

Of course, the only reason they could see their clan leader was that he was so close to their god that they could not help catching sight of him out of the corners of their eyes as they gazed greedily at their god.

And so, as the Moonlight Clan members present stared unblinkingly at their god, they screamed frantically in their hearts.

[Yue Che]: I saw him! A living god!

[Yue Li]: Quiet! Quiet! What kind of behavior is this?!

[Yue Jin]: Why are your hands shaking?

[Yue Li]: Because I want them to!

[Yue Shan]: The clan leader's eyes might as well be glued to our god.

[Yue Mu]: As if yours aren't.

[Yue Tu]: Clan leader: I can't see, I can't see, I can't see me.

[Yue Lin]: The clan leader is in the way. Can't he move over?

[Moon Wood]: Agreed.

[Moonwind]: Agreed, plus one.

And so the scene descended into another bout of silent chaos.

Some walked in moving their arms and legs on the same side, some nearly tripped over their own hems, and some looked as steady as old pines on the outside while flooding the Mental Network with meaningless screams.

Each face was more cool and dignified than the last, each posture more ethereal and unworldly.

Judging by appearances alone, it was a portrait of immortals.

But the Mental Network had already erupted into fireworks.

Explosions happened every year, and this year it was their turn.

After the Moonlight Clan had finished exploding among themselves and finally managed to suppress the turbulent excitement in their hearts, they turned around and dropped an even bigger bomb on the entire interstellar community.

They made an announcement.

[The Moon God has returned.]

The moment those words landed,

everywhere else exploded too.

The Moonlight Clan's announcement was as official as it could get.

Those earlier guesses, those groundless rumors, those speculations no one had dared voice aloud.

At that moment, they were all confirmed.

Their guesses had come true.

It really was the Moon God.

Of course, apart from a god, who else could have wiped out the Zerg so easily with a single arrow?

With an effortless stroke, he had utterly erased the Zerg that had plagued the Federation for countless years.

That was something the Federation had failed to do, no matter how it had devoted all its strength to the task.

Before a god's arrow,

all their efforts seemed so insignificant.

In the interstellar age, the gods had far fewer believers.

A long era of peace and the brilliance of technology had gradually made people forget how to look up at the stars.

But believers had not disappeared entirely.

The sparks of those ancient faiths had never truly gone out; they had only lain dormant in silence in every corner of the Sea of Stars.

Now, the Moon God had appeared.

Those silent believers were like embers blown upon by a gust of wind, glowing once more. They emerged from every direction and began to act with fervor.

Meanwhile, the Star-Moon Bow and Star-Moon Arrow, which Yuexi had casually tossed away,

were flying sneakily through the Star Region.

They flew with extraordinary caution.

They flew three steps, paused, and glanced back a couple of times.

Then they flew another three steps, paused again, and glanced back another couple of times.

They were just like two little mice that had stolen some oil, terrified a cat was following them.

They strongly suspected that the hateful Moonlight Clan leader was secretly tailing them.

Did he want to use them to find their god?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

The Star-Moon Bow and Star-Moon Arrow exchanged a silent glance, then began their performance in perfect sync.

Flying in circles.

Three circles to the left, three to the right, three above, and three below.

[Star-Moon Bow]: Let's make him go around in circles till he drops!

[Star-Moon Arrow]: Let's make him dizzy till he drops!

[Star-Moon Bow]: Trying to take us on?

[Star-Moon Arrow]: He's still too green!

The bow and arrow circled until they were almost dizzy themselves.

Finally, they stopped.

They carefully checked their surroundings again, all 360 degrees, leaving no blind spots.

Behind them, nothing.

To the left, nothing.

To the right, nothing.

Above, below, ahead, behind, left and right—nothing anywhere.

—Safe.

Check complete.

At last, the bow and arrow were satisfied. They turned around and flew leisurely toward the place where they had sensed their god's aura.

It never occurred to them to ask one very simple question.

—Since they were all creations of the Moon God, if they could sense their god, why couldn't the Moonlight Clan? If they could follow his aura to the Moon God Palace, why couldn't Yuexi?

But no, that was not a problem.

In their simple understanding, the question did not exist at all.

They flew on.

At last, the outline of the Moon God Palace appeared in their sight.

The Star-Moon Arrow spotted something familiar at a glance.

That little shitty box.

It looked exactly like the little shitty box that had dared talk about their god before.

The Star-Moon Arrow's pent-up resentment flared up at once. Its entire shaft glowed a shade brighter, and a long, silvery-white trail streamed from its tail as it shot straight at the spaceship like an angry meteor.

Spaceship: !!!

Spaceship: Oh no! It's coming for me! Fly, quick!

Star-Moon Arrow: Hehehe, you can't outrun me. Be good and let me ram you to death!

Spaceship: Ah—stay away from me!

Yang Zhi, Li Ze, and the others had been about to leave.

The spaceship's engines had warmed up, and the course was set. Only the final step remained.

Leaving.

Just then, another silvery-white light shone in the distant Star Region.

Here came another one.

Another one, another one.

In this short span of time, Moonlight Clan members had been popping up as if they cost nothing: first one, then two, then a group, until they filled the sky.

Yang Zhi and the others had gone from "Oh my god, it's the Moonlight Clan" to "Oh, it's the Moonlight Clan again." Their outlook had completely changed.

What was so special about the Moonlight Clan?

They were like cabbages flooding the streets, available by the handful and not at all rare anymore.

So when the silvery-white light first appeared, Yang Zhi merely lifted his eyelids.

"Here comes another one."

"Mm, another one." Li Ze did not even lift his eyelids.

But suddenly, Yang Zhi and Li Ze both straightened their backs.

"Something's wrong!"

Their voices overlapped, their tones remarkably alike.

The light was charging toward them. It grew faster and brighter, rapidly expanding in their field of vision, bigger and bigger and bigger.

Its target was unmistakable.

It was them.

Yang Zhi's pupils contracted sharply.

His powerful Psychic Power spread out like a net and probed into the silvery-white light, allowing him to "see" what was inside with perfect clarity.

"No, that's not a Moonlight Clan member. It's an arrow."

Yang Zhi's voice suddenly tightened.

An arrow.

Silvery-white.

Coming straight at them.

The same image flashed through Yang Zhi's and Li Ze's minds at once.

In Yunhuo's livestream, the arrow trailing a tail of light longer than the galaxy, reducing the entire Zerg to ash.

In just a short time, that clip had become the most popular video on the Federation's Star Network.

It had been played over and over, countless times.

And they remembered exactly what that arrow looked like.

"—It's the Star-Moon Arrow!"

"Why is it coming at us?!"

"How should I know?!"

"We're done for, we're done for! Quick, go, go, go!"
