Chapter 619: 91. Moli’s Running Away from Home_2
Moli still waved goodbye to the sea beasts, unaware of the situation. Xuan Can ignored them entirely, and soon the two arrived at the center of the Sea Trench. In fact, the Whale-man Species had built many structures here, mostly out of metal, but most Whale-men were too lazy to construct and would simply carve a hole in the sea cliff to live in.
Only Xuan Can’s residence was a palace, which connected to another direction of the Sea Trench, where Lord Ramasitia and the Abyss dwelled.
Most of the Whale-men were resting, with only a few awake either swishing their large orca tails while lying on their sides or sitting on the edge of a cliff waving to Moli. As Moli waved back, she suddenly asked while looking at the silhouette of her Mother ahead,
“Mother, I’ve been wanting to ask… what exactly is the Full Moon Period? Why does Lord Ramasitia always have to sleep during it? ‘Full Moon’ doesn’t seem like a term from the Ocean. I learned it from the humans; it seems to be related to the Moon, right?”
Xuan Can slowly stepped into the enormous palace made of Gold, extending a finger to point upward, towards the Sky,
“The Moon above the land isn’t just a simple Moon. This involves the Spirit Realm and a certain God that resides within it. That God is the enemy of all current Gods, despised and wished to be expelled from this world by all existing Gods… All you need to know is that during the Full Moon Period, That God’s power is at its strongest, and all Gods will be distracted by Him.”
“A God, like Lord Ramasitia?”
Xuan Can, disinterestedly, sat on the golden throne at the end of the palace. Moli also sat down in front of her, watching Xuan Can lean slowly back into the chair, her blue hair resting quietly on her shoulders, then closing her eyes. After a pause, she quietly said,
“Moli, this will be the ten thousandth Full Moon Period. After this Full Moon Period, the world will become dangerous.”
“Huh? Ten thousand Full Moon Periods… what does that mean?”
Xuan Can slowly opened her eyes, looking at Moli seriously, warning her,
“Ten thousand Full Moon Periods is a deadline. After this time, the clarion call for war will come. A thousand years ago, many Mythical Species were engulfed in a war; some were obliterated, others imprisoned, and in the end, it was the Humans who, with the favor of the Gods, achieved the final victory…”
“Over the centuries, Humans have taken over all the land they can see, attempting to extend their reach into the Ocean, committing acts of slaughter and desecration, comfortably reproducing generation after generation, yet they have forgotten how they won the war in ancient history… The Mother Goddess has been silent and unseen for far too long. Either She has lost hope in Humanity, or something else has captured Her attention. In any case, the Mother Goddess has abandoned the living creatures She once cared for.”
“In a few years, the end of days for Humans will come, and no one will escape.”
After hearing this, Moli pursed her lips, stood up anxiously, and said,
“I… I have to go ashore; I need to at least save Mr. Fischer. I can’t let him perish in this war.”
She knew her Mother was a powerful and wise person; she never misspoke, including when Moli volunteered to go ashore to find Aunt Mu Xi, she had warned her that she might be disappointed by Humans. Now, after returning, the curse upon her had spiraled out of control.
Xuan Can shook her head after hearing this, her voice still calm,
“The Fischer you care for is a good man, but are there no other good Humans? They will all die in this catastrophe, none will avoid it. The Ocean will avoid participating in this war, and should anything threaten to connect the Ocean to this conflict, I will eradicate it without hesitation… or you can bring that Human named Fischer to the Ocean if you are capable.”
Bring him to the Ocean…
How could that be possible? Fischer cared so much for those around him; how could he act ? He would surely refuse to come back with her… But if that were the case, Mr. Fischer would most likely die…
War, why must there be war?
“Then… Mother, please let me go ashore, okay? I want to save Fischer, even if it means just being by his side…”
Xuan Can was unmoved, still gazing calmly at her daughter,
“I’ve said, anything that might link the Ocean to this war I will erase without hesitation. The threads of fate are very sensitive. What should I do if you go ashore and are in danger? Shall I watch you die there? Shall I see you squander your Life on land?”
Moli bit her lip, shaking her head sadly. For some reason, the thought of Mr. Fischer dying on shore made her incredibly sad, as if a sharp blade was carving out a piece of her heart,
“Mother… I really can’t stand by and let Mr. Fischer die in war. I know a war that even you would avoid must be terrifying… but you don’t understand, when I was lonely and helpless, when I was at a loss, it was Fischer who encouraged and helped me. Without Mr. Fischer, I wouldn’t have been able to return to the Ocean. And because of that, he has been pursued by Her Majesty, whom he once loved, and is now homeless. How can I calmly watch him be without care and left adrift?”
