Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 311: Danger
Chapter 311: 311: Danger
A voice echoes in the whole area, which is heard by everyone affected by the illusionary formation made by the Fae Race.
{Intruders! Prove that you are not our enemy but escaping this illusion you are in. If successful, you shall be welcomed as a guest. Once you fail, there will only be death waiting for you.}
The separated individuals had all heard this voice. After this voice had spoken, they were surrounded by a white fog that pulled them into some kind of illusion. This illusion is born from the hidden fear in their lives.
However, this kind of illusion is useless for some people. For example, people who don’t have fear are simple, like Taiyang. People who experienced death like Tan Bingyu or Yue Xuexia are strong-willed and observant; distinguishing the truth from an illusion is normal for her.
However, for those who have something like fear in their hearts, this illusion would bring to life what they feared. The first elder monkey fell for the effects of the illusion and returned to the time when their monkey king had fallen after the fight against the Ancient Tree God.
The scene of sacrifice where the young warriors of the village had sacrificed themselves for the sake of buying time for their king to escape had once again unfolded before the first elder monkey. After all, among the sacrificed warriors was his son, who took his place in leading the warrior to fight the ferocious branches of the ancient tree.
The monkeys at that time couldn’t speak human, and it would be directly translated for now.
"Dad, go back! As the eldest elder in the tribe, you must go back to secure the village while the king is not unconscious!"
"Nonsense! It’s my job to lead the warrior to block the enemy this time. You go back to the rear!"
"Dad, the king and the tribe need you more. We will be okay! It’s just buying some time! Please go back!"
The first elder monkey couldn’t convince his son to retreat and had to support the heavily injured monkey king back to the village. Who would have thought that the moment the group escorting the king left the range of the Ancient Tree God’s range, the Titanoboa would wake up for a short moment?
That short moment was hell itself. It was like a nightmare for those who had survived and could only watch the warriors upfront being eaten alive by such a big snake.
That scene had become the nightmare of the first elder monkey. He watched as his son was eaten alive by the Titanoboa, who appeared from the roots of the Ancient Tree God and was lost forever.
The effects of this illusion were so powerful that the elder monkey thought he had returned to the past and experienced the nightmare all over again. Due to this illusion, the elder monkey lost control of himself and started attacking almost everyone in the area.
Meanwhile, at the side of Shen Jueyang. His illusions couldn’t be fully developed. He has two life experiences after all. As the Immortal Sun Empire’s Immortal Emperor and jus Shen Jueyang, who fell in love with Yue Xuexia.
Both lives have different weaknesses. He desires revenge and his feeling of love for the first time. Both are important. However, the words Yue Xuexia said to him while she was drunk lingered in his ears.
{I hate...}
This incomplete sentence had totally blown over Shen Jueyang’s control. To destroy the illusion that is irritating him, the Sun God once again summoned the sun, asking it to descend just so it could destroy the illusion he is in.
At that moment, the sun started coming over and descending from the sky, and the Fae Race was greatly terrified. They had never expected that the defensive and illusionary formation around their territory would cause one to summon a sun.
At the Fae race’s territory, the descending sun had caused the peak of the world tree to immediately dry up. As the sun continued to descend, the panic and screams of the fairies were full of horror. Even the Fae Queen had come out of her abode. They were all looking at the sun falling from the sky.
"Ah. Ah! The sun is falling. It’s falling!"
"Protect the World Tree!"
"Who the hell had summoned the sun!?"
"Make it stop! Find the cause of this disaster!" The Fae Queen commanded as she summoned a barrier to protect the world tree.
However, before the absolute strength, her power as the queen wasn’t even enough. The fae who had investigated the situation had come back.
"Queen, the intruders who had entered the testing ground were found. Three of them had easily broken through the illusion of the testing ground. The other two were too much affected and it might be one of them that had summoned the sun."
The Fae Queen frowned and commanded, "Stop the formation and bring them all over. No matter who summoned the sun, we must stop it!"
The illusion that the first elder monkey and Shen Jueyang were in was suddenly broken. They immediately woke up from the dream, and this temporarily halted the descending of the sun above the Fae Race’s territory.
The first elder monkey was still in a trance, murmuring, "Son. My son! This can’t be true! Damn! Titanoboa!!!"
Taiyang hit the back head of the elder monkey and said, "Wake up, you fool! "This solid hit was effective and the state of illusion on the elder monkey was undone. He looked around and saw that everything from before was just fake, especially when he saw a fairy with his own eyes.
"A fae? Is that an illusion I was in just now?" mumbles the first elder monkey.
Shen Jueyang isn’t grumbling like the elder monkey; however, his expressions are not calm. There is panic, disbelief, and fear in it. Yue Xuexia had to approach him to completely wake him up.
Yue Xuexia calls, "Jueyang? Shen Jueyang, wake up!"
Only when his name was called by Yue Xuexia was Shen Jueyang returned to reality. The moment he saw Yue Xuexia, he immediately pulled him into a hug, surprising everyone in the crowd including the person herself.
Yue Xuexia wanted to struggle and push the man away but when she felt him trembling, she could only and let the man hug her until he calmed down. She didn’t equally return his hug though.
She looked at the falling sun above them and summoned a crescent moon to stop it from falling further. All the fae including the Fae Queen had witnessed what she had done and was extremely thankful for it. However, if the sun doesn’t disappear, the world tree will completely dry up.
However, they are not in the right to blame as what caused this situation is something they made and owned themselves. They wanted to test people and suffered the karma for it.
It took a while before Shen Jueyang calmed down and finally looked at Yue Xuexia who stared back at him with clear eyes. Obviously, she doesn’t remember what she had said to him last night and she didn’t even mind the hug and treated it as a hug between friends.
In reality, Yue Xuexia, when it comes to love, is a blank slate. Not because she is innocent when it comes to love, but because her heart was taken away the moment she made an oath never to fall in love again.
That’s why any show of emotions from the opposite sex is just an empty action in her eyes. After all, she could no longer feel it, much less understand it.
Yue Xuexia asked, "Have you calmed down?"
"Yeah! Thank you, Xue’er," said Shen Jueyang.
Yue Xuexia nodded her head and said, "If you have calmed down, please control your domain. The world tree is about to become charcoal."
Shen Jueyang looked up and saw the sun being caught by the crescent moon. He smiled, thinking how he had lost control of himself, even though his domain was instinctively summoned. Both the moon and the sun disappeared at the same time, and everything else had returned to normal.
Once the sun and moon had disappeared, the faes and the fae queen had finally sighed in relief. They wanted to scold Shen Jueyang, but when they met his cold eyes, they were all terrified and hid behind the Fae Queen.
Shen Jueyang said, "You shouldn’t use a formation that intensifies one’s emotion as a protective barrier. After all, against the strong, a stir in their emotions can even destroy a world. Keep that in mind."
The Fae Queen nods her head as they already experienced it firsthand. Seeing a huge sun descending above them was never a nice experience. The feeling of getting roasted is not good and horribly horrifying. Even the first elder monkey was offended and gave them an attitude.
The first elder monkey said, "A defensive formation that targets the trauma of those who had entered uninvited is not a good protective measure. Emotions are not something one can easily control."
The Fae Queen and the Fae race gathered and lowered their heads towards them as an apology.
"To the representative of the Ape Race and the disguised guests from the outside, welcome to the village of fairies. I am the current Fae Queen that protects the world tree. My name is Rose."
