Truth IV

The sun grew brighter, closer, and bigger.

The two continued to ascend.

Passing through a layer of pale blue, invisible halo.

Then, everything in front of me suddenly went black.

Zhang Rongfang felt as if his entire body had passed through an incredibly thick membrane.

It felt like entering another environment, another space.

The blinding sun that was just on the right side has suddenly disappeared.

What followed was an endless, biting cold wind.

His eyes widened, completely losing sight of what he had expected.

According to his common sense from his previous life, shouldn't passing through the clouds and the atmosphere lead directly to outer space?

Why!? Why would they... He looked up, gazing at the deep, dark expanse above him.

Hovering in mid-air, speechless for a long time.

The Moon God was right beside him at that moment.

They were also looking up at the sky.

Looking at the dark, writhing sky.

People yearn for stability, peace, Great Harmony World free from strife.

Unfortunately, no one has ever truly considered what the root cause of all this conflict truly is.

Zhang Rongfang gazed at the endless dark sky.

In the sky, countless black lines stretched as far as the eye could see, their boundaries invisible, writhing and crawling.

He recognized it—the highest-level Spirit Thread, resembling the core of Gods and Buddhas — Black Spirit Thread! He slowly lowered his head and looked down.

Below was an enormous, bright sphere of light.

Inside the sphere, the sky, mountains, rivers, and the changing of the sun and moon are faintly reflected.

On the outside of the sphere, a layer of azure light tightly envelops Round Ball.

That was the divine aura of Spirit Flight Heaven.

"Have we always been enveloped like this?" he asked softly, his voice hoarse.

"Perhaps," the Moon God replied softly.

The two stared at the dark, writhing sky, neither in the mood to speak for a moment.

They floated in the space between the black Sky Curtain and the giant Round Ball below.

Looking down, the sun rises and the moon sets, and the inner world changes, gradually turning into night.

The bright sun, in the instant it set, shattered and exploded, turning into countless blue points of light that coalesced into a new crescent moon, which slowly rose from the other side.

The Round Ball rotates. Both the sun and the moon are merely reflections on its inner surface.

They have no physical form, but they look as real as they do.

"What's outside this black Sky Curtain?" Zhang Rongfang suddenly asked.

Beyond the Sky Curtain, the Moon God revealed a hint of nostalgia. "It is light."

"Light?" Zhang Rongfang frowned. "Golden light?" The first thing that came to his mind was the sun.

"It's not moon white." A gentle light appeared in the Moon God's eyes. "It's moon white light."

He closed his eyes, as if recalling something.

"A long, long time ago."

"The Sky Curtain was once breached."

"The light shone through the gap, illuminating many people."

"Is the light coming from the moon?" Zhang Rongfang asked.

"I don't know," the Moon God shook her head, "But when I looked out through that gap, I saw real white clouds, a crescent moon, and a starry sky."

"Those who were touched by that Heavenly Light all became immortals. They all underwent a transformation. Those were the first generation of Sky Light Wielder," he explained.

"Then what about Gods and Buddhas? What about Spirit Flight Heaven? What do you beings represent?" Zhang Rongfang asked.

"We represent hope that has never been extinguished," the Moon God replied.

"Hope? You want to break through this Sky Curtain!?" Zhang Rongfang asked in a deep voice.

"Yes. Break through it." The Moon God nodded, a hint of melancholy in her eyes.

"If you could live a peaceful life, why do you insist on desperately breaking through this Sky Curtain? Wouldn't it be better to enjoy life?" Zhang Rongfang asked.

"Enjoy life?" The Moon God laughed. "Yes. Many of our companions chose this path. And so they sank into the Forgotten Abyss."

"But why?!" he suddenly raised his voice. "We just want to go home!!"

"Go home!?" Zhang Rongfang was taken aback.

"Our ancestors descended from beyond this Sky Curtain. We should have lived beyond it!"

The Moon God's voice grew increasingly shrill.

Why should we, like ants, numb ourselves in this tiny, illusory Round Ball and spend our lives like this?!

"..." Upon hearing this, Zhang Rongfang roughly understood the truth of the matter.

If the Moon God hadn't played any other tricks or created a grand deception.

So everything is actually quite clear now.

"Which side is the truth?" Zhang Rongfang suddenly asked.

"Great Abyss," the Moon God answered without hesitation. "You are merely... pathetic insects living in the vast Void of Spirit Flight Heaven."

"It's just that it harvests rice paddies and crops that require resources at fixed times."

Zhang Rongfang fell silent.

He suddenly thought of Chen Junchen and Emperor Earth.

They clearly had a bright future and an unparalleled future.

But they still had to risk their lives to enter Great Abyss, to search for everything, to explore everything.

Perhaps all of this is simply because they all understand that the world they live in is originally just an illusion.

"My father once said," the Moon God spoke again. "He used to be a sailor on a very large ship."

"Later, a huge storm arose at sea. A massive crack appeared on the surface of the sea."

So he and many others got involved.

"What exactly is outside? Beyond this Sky Curtain?" Zhang Rongfang asked.

"There is truth," the Moon God replied. "We are like ants trapped here. We have lost ourselves, we have lost our freedom."

"Spirit Flight Heaven must have come up with this method to try to escape from here because someone who fell in before."

They built temples and constructed this system of cyclical harvesting and power accumulation, attempting to wait for the right moment to once again surge towards the Sky Curtain.

As the Moon God spoke, a strange gleam appeared in her eyes.

Hiss!!

In an instant, silence fell over the two of them.

Everything faded rapidly, turned black, and disappeared.

The two returned to the same hall, where the blue-gold seal stood before them.

Everything returned to calm.

The blue-gold color on the seal's surface began to flow like liquid, flowing towards the Moon God who touched it.

And the Moon God's body, starting from her arms, was gradually dyed blue.

"If I can fully master and absorb the Great Spirit Seal and the twelve Small Spirit Seal, I will become the new generation of Spirit Flight Heaven!" the Moon God said calmly.

"Is this the truth?" Zhang Rongfang suddenly asked from behind.

"Yes, that is the truth." The Moon God nodded. "Every so often, the Sky Curtain will sink and oppress the world we live in."

According to our calculations, in about a hundred years, our world may only have one-third of its current size.

"Where is my master?" Zhang Rongfang asked.

"If we don't fight back, we will all die," the Moon God said in a deep voice.

"Where is my master?" Zhang Rongfang asked again.

"Don't you understand? The Sky Curtain will completely shrink. If we don't struggle, you! I! Will both die!!" The Moon God's voice rose.

"I'm only in my twenties, what does that have to do with me?" Zhang Rongfang replied. "Where's my master?"

His expression was calm.

"Now you have two choices: one, let him come out; two, let me kill him."

"!!??" The Moon God couldn't understand.

He has made it very clear; the whole truth has been fully revealed.

They want to break through the dark Sky Curtain, break free from all illusions, and reclaim the truth that belongs to everyone.

But this guy!!?

"I'll count to three. If you don't choose, I'll take that as a default rejection." Zhang Rongfang's bat wings slowly unfurled behind him.

Thick plumes of blood Blood Mist spread from his feet, staining the surroundings red.

"Are you crazy?! This is the core temple of Spirit Flight Heaven. If this place is destroyed, the entire world will be harmed!" the Moon God said angrily.

He recognized Zhang Rongfang's extraordinary talent.

In any era, only the strongest at the very top are qualified to know the truth of all this.

Some of them will choose to remain in the illusion and enjoy everything.

Some choose to dedicate everything to their ideals and explore everything.

Others, however, lie low, accumulating more power and waiting for their opportunity.

He did not approve of Spirit Flight Heaven's method, but he also wanted to use the power accumulated by Spirit Flight Teaching to break through the Sky Curtain and restore the Heavenly Light!

Now, he has seen Zhang Rongfang's terrifying talent and hopes to bring him into his camp.

"Three."

"Two."

"One."

Zhang Rongfang's body shape changed rapidly, expanding, growing larger, and taller.

At the same time, the Moon God's body lit up with a moon-white halo, and layers of fan-shaped arms suddenly unfolded from behind her.

"Do you even understand?!" Her expression kept shifting between Yue Dewen's and another beautiful, pure face.

"Give me back my master, and I'll understand," Zhang Rongfang replied coldly.

"He is me! He is a part of me!" the Moon God cried out.

He couldn't understand this person's thinking.

"Then let's swap out that part." The Blood Lotus behind Zhang Rongfang began to unfold and Blooming.

Buzz! Just then, a blinding Blue Light shone from the ground throughout the hall, rising upwards and instantly transforming into a blue halo that swept across the bodies of the Moon God and Zhang Rongfang.

Both of them saw a blur before their eyes and vanished from their original positions.

Call!!

Zhang Rongfang's vision was quickly restored.

He was falling rapidly from a great height.

The surrounding area is a bright, scorching Golden Desert.

The Moon God has long since disappeared.

He looked down and saw the ruins of the temple where he had ascended with the Moon God to view the Sky Curtain.

Whoosh! His wings suddenly flapped, creating a powerful gust of air that slowed his body down.

After flapping his wings several times, his descent slowed rapidly, and he came to a stop hovering two or three hundred meters above the ground.

At this moment, he looked up again, gazing at the azure sky.

'It seems he was teleported out,' he guessed to himself.

The truth revealed to him by the Moon God still left him unable to find peace.

'Perhaps I should go and verify it myself.'

The thought flashed through his mind.

Immediately, it turned around, flapped its wings, and flew straight into the sky.

He wanted to see for himself what that Sky Curtain was all about!

I'm recommending a new fanfiction book.

Vera, the author of "Inventing Things at Hogwarts," Vera Writes Daily.

After Riggs joined Hogwarts, the pressure shifted to Azkaban.

When Voldemort broke free, he was defeated by Harry Potter with a single Super Electromagnetic Cannon shot.

"Rigg, this is much better than a wand!"
