These past few days, many fragments of memories have flashed through my mind since encountering the Fake Silver Moon. I keep reassembling and analyzing them, pondering who this person really is and what their purpose is in impersonating Silver Moon. Clearly, they approached me to exchange the Ice Spirit Stone with Siyimo. While it's understandable that Siyimo wants to eliminate us, what significance does the Ice Spirit Stone hold for this Fake Silver Moon that they would go to such lengths?
As I thought about this, I unconsciously glanced at Silver Moon sitting by the window, only to find that he seemed to have been staring at me for quite a while. It took a long time for him to react as we locked eyes.
He showed no intention of looking away, making me feel a bit embarrassed to glance elsewhere. Seeing this, Silver Moon chuckled lightly and sat down on the bamboo chair beside me, unabashedly watching me.
I didn't dare to relax; during this time, Silver Moon's attitude towards me had become increasingly cautious. I worried that my unusual behavior might have become too obvious and that he was starting to be wary of me.
"Are you troubled? Why do you look so tense lately?" Silver Moon asked with a smile as he poked my forehead.
I lowered my head, trying to hide the panic in my eyes. "Nothing," I whispered in denial.
Suddenly, he lifted my chin, and I found myself staring into his handsome face. Even though I was fully aware that this face did not belong to the person I knew, the warmth emanating from his eyes was undeniably sincere, causing me to momentarily lose myself in the illusion that he truly was my moon.
"Come on, I'll take you somewhere!" Silver Moon exclaimed as he pulled me up and led me out of the bamboo house at a quick pace. His smile was as pure as a child's; it was the first time I had seen him display such an expression. My initial instinct to pull my hand away softened, and I let him hold it.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll know when we get there."
"Is there still a place here I haven't been to? I've already explored everywhere," I mumbled softly.
Silver Moon smiled; my words didn't dampen his spirits at all. Instead, he playfully stopped and said, "Close your eyes first."
"Huh? Why?"
"Secret! Hurry, just listen! You won't be disappointed!"
I couldn't help but smile; this person had a somewhat spoiled tone.
"Alright, alright, I'll close my eyes." I shook my head helplessly and shut my eyes.
Suddenly, I felt my feet leave the ground, my body becoming weightless. He actually picked me up?!
"Don't move around; this way we can get there faster," Silver Moon said with a hint of pride in his voice.
Despite feeling a bit uneasy and resistant to this unknown person, I chose to think of him as Silver Moon and stopped resisting, quietly listening to the sounds around me.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock—"
Is that the sound of water?
"Hehehe, come on, hahahaha—"
Sounds of laughter and play?
"Ah, ah, quack quack—"
Flying magical beasts?
The more I listened, the more chaotic it became. It seemed like there were many things, and I couldn't guess what each one was!
"Where is this?" I asked softly.
"This is my world," Silver Moon's voice had a magical tone that piqued my curiosity. "Come on, you can open your eyes now."
"Wow!" As soon as I opened my eyes, I gasped in surprise.
It wasn't about the beauty or ugliness of this place; it was just the glaring light everywhere that made me uncomfortable! I instinctively raised my hand to shield my eyes and stepped back.
"It's okay, you'll get used to it slowly. Just like in the human world—" Silver Moon said gently, but suddenly paused when he mentioned 'human world,' looking at me cautiously.
I sighed in relief; it seemed he thought I hadn't regained my memory yet, which meant he didn't suspect me.
"What do you mean by that?" I pretended not to hear and asked.
"Nothing," Silver Moon replied as he moved behind me, taking my hands and slowly lowering them. He whispered, "Look—"
As I followed his hand downward, I gradually opened my eyes a little to adapt. It was too bright; it was nothing like daytime in the human world. The light here was mixed with a scorching intensity that was blinding.
What I found even harder to accept was that everything in sight was a golden-red color, like being inside a giant furnace, suffocatingly terrifying.
I didn't notice when Silver Moon quietly stood beside me, smiling broadly as he asked, "Isn't it beautiful?"
Rubbing my eyes, I realized that amidst the entire golden-red furnace, only Silver Moon and I had softer colors, making it easier on my eyes when I looked at him.
"Aren't you blinding?" I asked softly.
"Of course not, it's so beautiful here!" Silver Moon said with increasing satisfaction as he grabbed my right hand. I tried to pull away, but he didn't give me the chance.
"Don't block your eyes. Trust me, you will fall in love with this place."
I nodded in response, not really wanting to say anything.
Silver Moon led me further inside, and suddenly countless creatures surrounded us, tugging at my clothes! I glanced around; although I could distinguish their different shapes, the uniform red and gold color made me lose interest in observing them closely.
"Don't be afraid, they are all my pets and won't harm you," Silver Moon said, thinking I was scared and comforting me softly.
I was taken aback. They are all his pets?!
Although I had no idea how vast this place was, after acquiring the Space Stone, I could clearly sense the fluctuations of the spatial currents around me. Even so, I couldn't gauge the area of this place; it was terrifying!
Compared to the Lost City of Lothar from Los Crystal, this place was probably just the tip of the iceberg!
What kind of person is Silver Moon to possess such terrifying power? It suddenly dawned on me that I didn't even know his level!
Now that I had entered the Realm of the Supreme Lord, it meant his level was far above mine!
Oh my God, could he be another being surpassing the Supreme Lord?!
"This really is a peaceful world," I could only laugh awkwardly and make small talk, unsure of what else to say as I stared blankly at the orderly world before me, constantly speculating about this man.
"That's right. There is no war or plunder here, and no birth, aging, illness, or death. Do you like it?"
I mechanically turned my head to look at him and said, "I like it."
At the moment I said I liked it, I saw a glimmer in Silver Moon's eyes, and his face broke into a smile.
"It will soon be even better here. Once I become powerful enough to be unmatched, would you like to be the mistress of this place?" As he spoke, his smile widened.
But in my silent response, Silver Moon's expression gradually stiffened. We both remained still as everything around us spun chaotically.
"Do you not want to?" After a long pause, Silver Moon asked hoarsely.
"I, I—"
I wanted to say that I was willing to go along with it. However, looking at his serious expression, I found myself unable to utter a single lie to deceive him.
Silver Moon stopped speaking, muttering something under his breath as a fireball appeared in his hand.
Having seen various fire elements in different people's hands, including my own, I thought the fire in my hand was the purest form of fire element, capable of melting anything. Yet, I did not expect that the fire in his hand resembled that of the Fire Ancestor, embodying all fire attributes with not a trace of impurity; even the fire within me began to stir restlessly.
I watched as Silver Moon gently blew on the fireball, and countless red sparks flew outwards. The creatures around immediately chased after the sparks, greedily absorbing the essence of this pure fire.
Silver Moon silently took my hand again and led me to the nearby fire pool. The same reddish-golden hue reflected uncomfortably against me.
The water's surface mirrored our figures, appearing quite harmonious.
"Plop!" A mischievous Little Fish Spirit jumped out, greeting me cheerfully. It glanced at Silver Moon's not-so-good complexion and reluctantly returned to the water.
The harmonious reflection was shattered by the ripples in the water, but that suited me just fine. I felt a small sense of relaxation inside, only to realize that the reflection in the silver moonlight was no longer him, but rather a figure with short red-golden hair and exquisitely sculpted features radiating masculinity. However, this was marred by an aura of violence that made one instinctively want to retreat.
Fortunately, at that moment, Silver Moon impatiently turned away from the fire pool and did not see the scene reflected in the water... So this was his true appearance.
"Give me your hand." Silver Moon spoke again, gripping my hand tightly.
Before I could react, my body felt light again, and we had already ascended to the highest point of this place, a towering peak of red-gold with a majestic three-story palace at its summit.
What I felt was that no matter how dazzling the colors were, they could not conceal its cold emptiness. Glancing at Silver Moon beside me, his cold expression mirrored this place; he looked down upon everything yet could not escape his own solitude.
It then occurred to me that his hand was truly icy.
"Here, I can provide you with everything you desire. You are their master; isn't that good?" Silver Moon asked softly, as if questioning himself.
I shook my head and for the first time looked up seriously at Fake Silver Moon. He was not one of Siyimo, and he would never find the Ice Spirit Stone that Siyimo wanted. Therefore, there was no need for me to become his enemy or gain another terrifying opponent.
"The world I want is colorful and truly exists. There may be wars, cycles of life and death, and the survival of the fittest there, but they all have their own destinies. Only in such an environment can I feel alive."
I grasped both of Silver Moon's hands with my own, hoping he could sense the little warmth I had left.
"Your heart has always been ice-cold, hasn't it?" I sighed.
Silver Moon looked at me in disbelief as if I had done something earth-shattering. Suddenly, he pushed me away forcefully, panic evident on his face without any pretense. "Heart?! I have no heart at all!"
As he spoke, however, Silver Moon tightened his grip on the area where Heart was located, pain clearly visible on his face!
"What happened to you?!"
"Get away, all of you get away!" Silver Moon shouted, startling the surrounding insects and birds.
"Calm down!" I yelled back.
"It's you, what did you do to me?!" Silver Moon glared at me while trying to avoid my gaze.
"I didn't do anything!" With his power, what could I possibly do to him? That's ridiculous!
"Why does it hurt here?!" Silver Moon continued to clutch his heart, looking at me in disbelief.
"I don't know either. Please calm down, let me help you take a look, okay?" I tried to soothe him as gently as possible.
"No, I can't see you anymore." Silver Moon gritted his teeth and turned away but still didn't take a step forward.
"Alright, then I'll leave first." Given the sudden situation, I had no choice but to step away.
"No!" Silver Moon shouted again!
"Damn it, if you don't get away, it will hurt even more."
