Chapter 319: Chapter 227: Moon Goddess and King of Slaughter_2
But as soon as he stepped out of the train station’s main entrance, his body suddenly stiffened.
[You’re being watched by Moon Goddess Margaret and have received the Blessing “Moonlight’s Blessing”!]
[Moonlight’s Blessing LV1 (Blessing)]
Blessing Description: An act of grace from Moon Goddess Margaret, allowing you to always be protected by moonlight.
Blessing Effects: Slightly increases all types of Mysterious Resistance and soul strength, all Attributes +1. (Effects double during the night)
‘Moon Goddess?! Margaret…?!’
A look of disbelief appeared in Chen Lun’s eyes.
At the same time, he inexplicably received some information, including the revered names of the Moon Goddess.
‘Grandmother Moon, Lady of Silence, and Miss Purple Moon… Are these all titles referring to Moon Goddess Margaret? Why… would She tell me these?’
Chen Lun was filled with immense curiosity.
He clearly had no previous contact with the Moon Goddess, but why… No!
Chen Lun abruptly turned around, glancing in the direction where the old lady’s corpse had been taken by the security team, but the people had long since disappeared.
‘Was it that old lady… or was it because I recited the “Chronicle of Clear Moon” from the Bible…?’
Chen Lun couldn’t guess the answer.
But he had a feeling it had something to do with that old lady.
Chen Lun looked around and realized that he had been standing in front of the train station’s main entrance, lost in thought, drawing the attention of passersby, so he took a deep breath and continued to leave as if nothing had happened.
As he walked, he recalled the brief encounter with the old lady, who had seemed like an ordinary mortal from beginning to end…
But on closer thought, he seemed to have made up a non-existent grandmother, also named “Margaret”.
‘Is this a coincidence… or?’
Chen Lun’s brows furrowed tightly, feeling like he was surrounded by a fog, unable to see the truth.
He remembered the old photograph of the archaeological team he had seen in a book Mr. Bales had given him the first time they met…
The statue of the Moon Goddess among the Seven Gods from over three thousand years ago was that of a young woman.
‘Maybe there hasn’t been a succession of Moon Goddesses… but they are all just an aspect belonging to the Moon Goddess, that of the ‘Lady of Silence,’ or that of ‘Miss Purple Moon’…?’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
He felt like he was beginning to understand some things and was rather convinced by his own speculation.
Thinking back on the old lady’s words and actions at the grocery store, Chen Lun had new doubts.
‘She said she came to Amber City to see relatives… who could that be?’
Chen Lun was stunned.
‘Could it be me?! The Moon Goddess can’t really be my grandmother, can she?!’
At this thought, he found it somewhat funny and couldn’t help shaking his head, considering it a flight of fancy.
If he really was a descendant of the Gods, it would have been shown on his attribute panel a long time ago.
‘No matter the reason, I have gained the Moon Goddess’s Blessing, and for now, She seems benevolent… and She intentionally told me Her revered name, which is probably a way for me to pray to Her, perhaps in a time of great crisis, I can ask for Her help?’
Chen Lun thought, pulling his hat brim down and tentatively murmuring a segment of the revered names:
“You are the supreme night, You are the grand darkness…
You are the refuge of myriad souls, You are the lament of the place of eternal rest…
You are the silence of the Star Realm, the exalted Grandmother, the pure Moonlight Margaret.”
The very next instant.
Time and space seemed to come to a standstill.
Chen Lun suddenly felt a gaze from a distant place cast upon him, as if looking upon his figure, and yet it seemed like an illusion that wasn’t there.
But he knew it wasn’t an illusion…
The Moon Goddess truly saw him!
A gentle and kind, yet mesmerizing female voice almost said, whispering directly into his heart:
“Ascend to a High Sequence soon, break free from the Ring of Destiny.”
Chen Lun snapped back to reality, and everything returned to normal.
He realized he had unknowingly returned to the front of his mansion.
The two servants at the door bowed to him respectfully, addressing him as Leader.
Chen Lun gave a brief wave of his hand, not in the mood to respond, and entered on his own.
‘I really received an oracle from the Moon Goddess…’
He suddenly felt that his identity might not be simple, and since the Moon Goddess had reminded him, there must be a great secret hidden behind it all.
He walked to the villa’s front door with a heavy heart.
Floey was standing by the door as usual, quietly waiting.
A smile appeared on Chen Lun’s face as his mood improved slightly upon seeing Floey.
Floey followed him into the living room.
“The work you assigned me earlier has yielded results; the black crystal bullets and black crystal arrows have already been produced… would you like to see them?”
“No need for now, thank you for your hard work, Floey.”
Chen Lun breathed deeply, trying to maintain composure, and smiled.
“I came back in a hurry this time, forgot to bring back a present for you, sorry.”
But Floey shook her head.
“I haven’t finished the three boxes of chocolate you bought me last time.”
Chen Lun smiled slightly.
His smile suddenly froze, as if struck by a realization.
“Did you say three boxes?”
“Hmm, didn’t you put an extra box in my drawer afterward?”
Floey tilted her small head, somewhat puzzled.
“You found that, huh… Floey.”
But his eyes flashed with shock.
‘Could it be, the ‘relative’ she mentioned is Floey…?!’
After returning to the manor, Chen Lun busied himself brewing Supernatural Wine while quietly waiting for a message from Mr. Bales.
