The Price and Retribution of the Old Covenant

In the deep starry sky, inside a silver spaceship, Qin Hong waited quietly. No abnormal reports were received, and the moon was calm.

"This is the age of technology. If there are gods, they will be born from among us," he murmured to himself, a firelight flickering in his eyes.

The batch of ancient books that several organizations recently unearthed from a mysterious cave were truly invaluable.

They organized a large group of scholars and professors to decipher and analyze the transformation, study the extraordinary, and obtained astonishing secrets.

"The Transcendent Immortals gradually dying out, and in the end... they cannot come back to life. But the path beneath our feet leads to the future and will touch upon true immortality."

Qin Hong stood up, his voice strong and resonant. He gazed at the vast starry sky through the large screen, a future he could look forward to!

He is confident and has sufficient assurance. The current Super Battleship is just a prototype and will be upgraded in the future. Today's combat test was perfect.

"As for the direction of individual efforts, we have better options."

Qin Hong believed that the Life Science Research Institute under their control would continue to make breakthroughs, and that the Blazing Sun Bodhisattva would soon be born, and that the Ultimate Bodhisattva would be born in the future!

"Some people, if they can't find their place, will soon be swept into the dustbin of history!"

Qin Hong was extremely indifferent. He thought of the people in the fields of Old Arts and New Arts Domain; what use were they if they didn't obey?

His expression grew increasingly cold, and he felt it was time to negotiate with some financial magnates and large organizations to establish rules and impose restrictions on people in certain sectors.

In the face of brilliant technological civilization, what use are those people? It's enough for them to study the topic of "Extend Life." If they pursue individual destructive power, they are a cancer!

This wasn't just his opinion; several conglomerates have explicitly expressed this view from the beginning: modern society doesn't need overly "dangerous" people.

Although some tycoons have also devoted themselves to those "techniques," hoping to gain control of extraordinary power.

However, this does not contradict their efforts to set rules and restrict dangerous elements, because the Qin Family is also pursuing power in this area, following the path of Gene Superhumans.

The Moon Crater collapsed and continued to sink, destroying the forbidden area.

As the curtain fell, that person and the world behind him faded into nothingness.

But at the last moment, Wang Xuan heard his desperate growl again, "Old Testament, did I betray you, or did you betray me? The price is yours!"

What's going on here?

Then, Wang Xuan saw a huge, bloody hand appear on the completely darkened surface of the moon, which was broken off and looked quite terrifying.

Then the hand split in two, with four-fifths of it exploding into a rain of light that showered down on the base.

This time, people saw the light and were all astonished, watching helplessly as the "raindrops" disappeared into the protective layer, with no time to escape.

There was no confrontation between Zhengyiguan and Baima Temple this time. There was no Yang Pingzhi Du Gong Seal showing his power, nor was the Buddhist "Swastika" manifested.

Without saying a word, Wang Xuan drew his short sword, held it in front of him, and pulled Qin Cheng to his side, staring nervously at the air!

The blurring curtain flashed for the last time, as if it had moved billions of miles away, disappearing Ying.

The remaining one-fifth of the hand shot into the sky and disappeared into the deep air in the blink of an eye.

Ordinary people still didn't see the severed hand, but only a strange shower of light.

"This is the price, and also the revenge!" Wang Xuan looked up, guessing where the severed hand had gone.

The departing hand moved at breakneck speed, began to burn, and scattered a rain of light along its path.

Undoubtedly, to intervene in the present world, one needs to integrate with the real world in order to utilize its power.

"Block that shower of light, fire!" The Super Battleship detected abnormal Energy Substance, and its alarm blared.

"Activate the Warp Drive!"

However, it seemed too late. The rain of light was upon them, and although they dispersed it, the alarm continued to sound.

They can't see the severed hand!

Everyone screamed in agony, their spirits shattered, and many died on the spot.

"Activate the protective shield!" someone shouted one last time. With a bang, the command was given, but his eyes dimmed and his mind collapsed.

Finally, the severed hand split in two, with one half manifesting and gradually solidifying into light. With a deafening boom, it shattered the entire Super Battleship.

A blinding light burst forth from deep space, and at this moment, it wasn't just one force that was paying attention, but many, all of them were startled.

I thought everything was settled and the outcome was set, but who could have imagined that this unexpected turn of events would occur?

A sigh echoed from deep space, matching the voice of the man with the protruding eyes. His severed hand could not remain in this world forever; it was a permanent loss, at a great cost. Intervening in the present world was too difficult, and it would soon dissipate.

After his severed hand destroyed the Super Battleship and shattered the spirits of those people, he also received a message that a spaceship in deep space was issuing commands.

The remaining few fingers of his hand headed straight for deep space, even though he knew it might be too late, he still didn't want to give up.

Qin Hong received the report and saw the final result on the big screen. He was terrified because he had already ordered the spaceship to return, and they were now almost at the Super Battleship.

"It's too late! It's too close! We can already see the glowing object!" someone shouted. They were about to crash into the spaceship.

"Escape pod!" Some people panicked and rushed towards the escape pod.

In fact, Qin Hong reacted quickly, lying down first. These were all single cabins, and then he started the machine quickly.

Boom!

The remaining hand, unable to hold on any longer, could not remain in the mortal realm for long. Finally, it fully manifested, merging into the real world, appearing bloody, and smashed the spaceship to pieces with a deafening roar.

At that moment, all the major organizations captured this scene and were deeply shocked. For a long time, no one spoke, and everyone felt very heavy-hearted.

Today's attempt was quite bold, and the test results were initially perfect, but the last two hits cast a shadow over many people's hearts.

Finally, the Qin Family member spoke up, "It's nothing serious. Star Annihilator are about to be unveiled, and those that have perished are unlikely to reappear, let alone exert a significant influence on the present world."

Another person chimed in, saying, "That's right. Besides, we're analyzing ascension, and in the future, there's no doubt that someone like that might appear among us."

For a long time, all parties were pondering and remained silent, creating an awkward silence.

Because this fact is something to be wary of.

Zhengyi Temple, Qin Cheng asked, "Old Wang, what's going on? It's raining on the moon?"

"It's alright, stay close to me and don't wander off." Wang Xuan held his short sword, the rain of light igniting neither his body nor Qin Cheng.

Furthermore, no light rain fell in the main hall of Zhengyi Temple, where the seal of Yangping Zhidugong Seal was kept, and the old Daoist priests were not affected.

He immediately pulled Qin Cheng away, preventing the Daoist priests there from seeing anything unusual about him.

Once on the street, he and Qin Cheng learned a chilling truth: many people had lost parts of their memories.

"What's going on? I remember there was a lot of noise outside the protective layer just now. Why is my memory getting blurry?"

"That's strange. I'm a bit forgetful, like I've forgotten something. Oh right, something big happened at Moon Crater. It just happened, and I almost forgot about it."

Wang Xuan knew that the Moon Crater had become history, everything was over, and the world behind the Great Curtain had faded away and disappeared completely.

However, its effects were rather bizarre. Was the final shower of light a form of "purification," making ordinary people forget their extraordinary nature?

It's truly terrifying to think about, Transcendent Immortals's severed hand was sacrificed to erase his own traces?!

What exactly is the Old Testament? The man with the protruding eyes actually paid such a price for it.

Qin Cheng was quite frightened and sighed, "I'm just an ordinary person with no ambition in this life. May Transcendent Immortals and ancestors above not take offense at me."

Wang Xuan ignored him, still thinking about what had just happened.

He saw the world behind the Great Curtain more than once, but each time it was different.

When the Red-clothed Demon Immortal turned and left, Wang Xuan saw her wandering through the broken temple, amidst the ruins and fallen statues of bodhisattvas, yet that world was full of life.

The world behind the Great Curtain where the Female Sword Immortal resides is also teeming with life, with sword light soaring into the sky. She has enemies in that world and has fought with others.

"Old Wang, I'm a little scared. Look, these people have almost forgotten what happened not long ago. They're all obsessed, and they can't remember anything even if they try hard to think about it," Qin Cheng said uneasyly.

Wang Xuan looked up and saw that the rain of light in the sky had disappeared. He put away his short sword.

He immediately realized that if the conglomerates and major organizations knew about the current situation at this base, they would definitely follow suit and cover up the truth. After all, if it were too outrageous, it would easily cause large-scale panic and various heated discussions.

"Let's go, let's hurry to the company and see what exactly happened in deep space," Wang Xuan said. If the truth is covered up, then a lot of information will be erased.

Dingwu is a large organization that mainly provides security services. It has mercenaries, warships, and various advanced monitoring equipment. The fact that it can set up a branch on the moon means that it is well-equipped.

"The Super Battleship was blown up, and another spaceship... was also blasted apart by that glowing object. This is incredible!" Qin Cheng was dumbfounded.

Wang Xuan sighed, "Alright, just swallow it after you've read it. Let's pretend we don't know anything."

He went outside again and looked up. The vast deep space was filled with mist, and he had only just begun to grasp a little of the truth.

The Old Testament... Word Lock.

He couldn't help but think of the words the Female Sword Immortal had said; now it seemed that what was locked away was not only the truth of the ancients.

It also locks in the extraordinary truths that ordinary people see!

"Li Kun, when are you going to pay me back?" At that moment, Qin Cheng spotted the department head he so deeply resented.

Li Kun, who was racking his brains and feeling like he had forgotten something, suddenly looked up when he heard this and said, "It's been transferred. Check it; it's already in your account."

Qin Cheng looked and saw that he had indeed received the message from the bank long ago, but he hadn't paid attention to it because of the various terrifying things that had happened during that time.

"Old Wang, let's go, let's split the profits!" He insisted on transferring two million New Star Coin to Wang Xuan, while he only needed three million of the principal.

Wang Xuan flatly refused, saying, "What is this? It's not like I'm making money off your business."

"You have to have it. This is the debt you helped me collect." Qin Cheng insisted on giving it to him, otherwise he wouldn't agree.

Wang Xuan thought for a moment and asked him to transfer one million, so the two million that he "earned back" would be split equally between the two of them.

"Alright, stop nagging. If you keep going, I'm done," Wang Xuan said, and told Qin Cheng that he was going to book a boat ticket to New Star and was about to leave.

"What? Old Wang, you're leaving? Aren't you going to wait for me? I should be able to go to New Star in about half a month. No one will hold me back now!" Qin Cheng said.

He was uncertain about the future. Today, a lunar war had broken out, with ancient Transcendent Immortals facing off against modern warships. Others might forget about it, but he would never forget it in his lifetime.

It's hard to say what else is on the moon. He thinks Wang Xuan is mysterious, reliable, and dependable in crucial moments.

"Don't worry, there's nothing left in the Moon Crater," Wang Xuan told him, assuring him that nothing would happen again and he could relax.

He had to leave. Witnessing what had happened today gave him a sense of urgency. The world was so vast, and only a small part of the "truth" had been revealed to him.

He wanted to go to New Star and the Secret Realm immediately because the "real world" was terrifying and he needed to improve himself as soon as possible.

Furthermore, three years is really not a long period. What he saw today weighed heavily on his mind; the problems were far more serious than he had imagined!
