Good and Bad

The Lord of the Blood Sea nodded at Yu Chen's explanation. "So that's how it is. That fellow inherited the legacy of the ancient Moon God. Makes sense. In primordial times, there was only one Moon God who held dominion over the Great Yin. The later Moon Gods merely inherited that legacy. And since Dream Lord was a deity born when the former Moon God cleansed the dreams of all beings, he could naturally harmonize with this mirror's power."

As he spoke, the Lord of the Blood Sea looked upon the silvery-white radiance occupying eighty percent of the mortal world. He also saw many things from his past that, under the Curse Sword's influence, he had failed to see or had unconsciously overlooked.

For instance, the small grave beneath the moon halo, and the magnificent sword from the Little Prince planted before it.

An oath had gathered upon it: "I will not let the kingdom become even more corrupt."

The oath resonated with a faint ray of moonlight within the small grave, and together they transformed into a layer of splendid radiance that blessed the aged Little Prince. It was both a blessing and a restraint.

Beyond that, similar events were continually unfolding within the countless tiny worlds scattered throughout the mortal realm, causing more and more people to remain beneath the neutral silver moon rather than lean toward the blood moon or golden moon.

The Lord of the Blood Sea said teasingly, "But you actually chose to let this little fellow inherit the precious mirror rather than absorb my power yourself. Or did you intend to drive me away first, then seize his power?"

Yu Chen snorted. "If it were the legacy of that ancient Moon God who could argue with the Heavenly Emperor, I might have been tempted.
