Chapter 2869: Chapter 2864: Origin of the Dark Moon

So it really involved you?

The moon waxes and wanes, and there are blood red, blue, and white moons.

Faced with this scene contrary to his memory, Fu Qian was not too surprised, feeling more of a sentiment.

Annalise, the Progenitor of the Blood Clan, fell before the Long Night, yet when the Long Night came, it seemed as if another blue moon was extremely active.

The former is generally referred to as the First Generation Dark Moon, which is the "mother" of the Witch.

As one of the most mysterious moons, the origin of the Dark Moon remains ambiguous to this day.

Whether in the Bookstore World or on the Witch’s side, many traces have been left by it.

The Nightmare Corridor, the Law Core, and various significant items all bear its mark.

Moreover, even the imposing Ancient Tyrant clearly died in an assassination in which it participated.

Granted, on the Witch’s side, the First Generation Dark Moon even prepared a small courtyard for retirement, but that seems insufficient to prove its origin.

Meanwhile, the simultaneous immersion of the Original Moon and Annalise into dreams makes the matter even more subtle.

If Annalise’s early demise was indeed driven by an underlying force, even entirely designed from the outset.

Then who should inherit this authority of the moon after her fall, undoubtedly reveals some clues.

And then, within this residual dream related to Annalise, the Dark Moon appeared directly.

...

"Quite impressive, Herbert has aided us significantly."

Even Lord Patch’s reaction proved it wasn’t exclusive to Fu Qian alone.

In that moment, he too gazed at the sky; though his expression remained mocking, his tone grew solemn.

"Of course, you are especially impressive, the marvelous application of the law, you’ve truly done a good preparation work.

"What I can currently ascertain is that this scene not only lies buried deep within the dream but also bears a special attribute, that is, it should not be seen by anyone."

Oh?

Lord Patch, known for his vast experience, instantly realized this was not a simple dream dismantling task, but one involving the basic principles of the halo.

As for the discovery made, it was enough to satisfy him, to the extent that he generously shared with Fu Qian—

On one hand, confirming that Herbert indeed exerted some remaining efforts, acting as a sort of summoner.

This ignorant Dream Pursuer, in his final moment, finally stirred a slight echo.

On the other hand, concerning this Dark Moon before him, which should have been exceptionally concealed.

"Was it deliberately hidden?"

The situation undoubtedly became more subtle, sighed Fu Qian.

"It appears to be so, this object should not manifest in this world in any form."

Patch affirmed this statement.

"Well, apologies then."

Fu Qian shook his head, this was directed at the world.

It shouldn’t exist in any form unless the world had already been made unrecognizable by itself.

"Also, it seems that a lot of people saw it this time."

What followed was a collective apology to the masses.

There was no need to broadcast across the island, a glance was enough to find someone pointing at the sky in astonishment.

Clearly, this spectacle was visible even to ordinary people in the Divine Dream, not just Patch.

"Heh heh heh... the one who made such arrangements surely never foresaw this day."

Patch found it quite amusing, gloating over the misfortune of his peer.

"Was the one hiding things deep in the dream extremely confident in this approach?"

Fu Qian merely offered a reverse interpretation to this.

"Indeed, I think it nearly proves that Annalise’s death involved the King of Nightmare.

"A genuine Superior Being fell quietly, the Dark Moon was born as a result, and even this was completely hidden... to the point that even now, we cannot be certain about the initial doubt."

Not only did Patch understand Fu Qian’s implication, but he even began to applaud with admiration.

"Between the Original Moon and the King of Nightmare, who is the true orchestrator of this matter."

Fu Qian sighed softly, assisting in supplementing the content of the question.

...

The night sky of the archipelago was noisy, and time was being swiftly consumed.

And the collaboration between the two Superior Beings seems to have already yielded fruitful results.

Indeed, Lord Patch was a decisive figure, upon realizing the Dark Moon in the sky, not only confirming Annalise’s death was due to a conspiracy but firmly believing the Dark Moon was born as a result.

Thus a previously broken thread in the Moon History Record seamlessly linked up.

From white to blue blood, the authority of the moon has always passed from one hand to another, without being lost in between.

As for the one who always called itself "child", the Red Moon?

Apologies, besides looking like a moon, the Red Moon has never exhibited a distinct lunar authority.

It seems merely afflicted by the "moon" word curse, as for the manner of the curse—

[Annalise is Tilani, Tilani is Annalise]

This phrase from the Truth Note naturally came to Fu Qian’s mind.

If that was truly its name, what a familiar phrase this is to the current symptoms of the Red Moon.

Thus, combined with the discovery at hand, the reasons and consequences could be easily unraveled—

Annalise, the Progenitor of the Blood Clan, although indulged in dreams, was making some daring plans.

But as a longtime Superior Being, she inevitably picked up some bad habits, such as always having a fallback plan.

In case of unforeseen events, a certain arrangement would automatically activate, leaving a hope for her return...

Even in 1-013, the box containing the containment item "Demon Mountain", the only clear line in the Decaying Notes was this.

And when the warehouse plagiarized shamelessly, it deliberately omitted this line.

This detail, which was curious at the time, now seems to have an explanation—the Dark Moon was covering up.

Don’t forget, it was long proven that like the Prism of Radiant Transformation, the Dark Moon could exploit some loopholes in the warehouse, to the extent that even its first task was manipulated.

In conclusion, it seems to have witnessed a massive shadow enveloping Annalise’s divine existence.

And that line from the Truth Note increasingly resembled an insurance prepared for herself, only regrettably, not very effective.

...

Apart from a brief mourning for the Progenitor of the Blood Clan, the key point here was still Patch’s final sentiment.

After all, who designed Annalise’s fall and the birth of the Dark Moon remains elusive.

Yes, even if it is proven that the King of Nightmare was involved, this question is still difficult to answer.

The need for the power of the King of Nightmare to achieve this, does it necessarily mean the King of Nightmare was doing it?

Everyone is out in the open, especially for figures like Patch and himself; framing others is as natural as breathing.

And considering the Original Moon was also once enamored with dreams... Rather than believing the inept King of Nightmare consecutively plotted against two rightful Superior Beings, is the generous Moon God really so innocent?

Could it be that she consecutively plotted against a certain submissive victim, and her own devoted followers?
