535: Chapter 470: Su Yueyao Awakens, the Moon Goddess's Origin is Completed

The Fire of Civilization had been burning on the top of the Super Furnace for a full hundred days. That jade pendant of Moonlight Power floated above the flames, its silvery-white light and cyan-gold flames intertwined like two lingering rivers, slowly flowing in the Void Realm. Every evening, Lin Zhou would stand before the furnace, gaze at the pendant for a moment of silence, then turn and leave. For one hundred days, he had not spoken a single word.

Su Yueyao's consciousness slept within the jade pendant, her Moon God Origin slowly recovering under the nourishment of the Fire of Civilization. Her Moonlight Power was vastly different from what it had been before the War of Guixu. The warmth of the Fire of Civilization permeated every corner of the Moon God Origin, filling in the cracks eroded by guixu energy one by one. The silvery-white light now contained a hint of cyan-gold—the brand of the Fire of Civilization. Her sleep was not a coma, but a self-protection mechanism of the Moon God Origin—when damaged too severely, the Moon God Bloodline would automatically enter a deep slumber to repair itself with maximum efficiency.

In the early hours of the 101st day, the jade pendant suddenly glowed. It was not silvery-white, but a seven-colored light intertwined with cyan-gold and silvery-white. The light erupted from the furnace, illuminating the entire fortress. Lin Zhou rushed out of the barracks and stood before the furnace. Golden Scale poked his head out from the Divine Kingdom, and a dragon roar echoed in the night sky. Fifty thousand soldiers were startled from their sleep and surged into the plaza.

The jade pendant shattered. Not into pieces, but it melted. The silvery-white fragments turned into wisps of moonlight, condensing into a human shape in the Void Realm. Su Yueyao walked out from the light, her dark hair like a waterfall, her temperament as cold and clear as the moon, but her eyes held a hint of warm gold. Moonlight flowed around her, carrying cyan-gold patterns—traces of the Fusion between the Fire of Civilization and the Moon God Bloodline.

[Su Yueyao · Awakening]

- Status: Sleeping for 100 days, now awakened

- Moon God Origin: 100% → 120% (Breakthrough of limit)

- Godhead Rank: LV700 → LV800 (Mid-Tier Divine Power, Mid-stage)

- New Divine Power Attribute: Moonlight · Civilization (Moonlight Power + Fire of Civilization)

- Trait 1: Moonlight purification efficiency + 300%

- Trait 2: Damage to Guixu faction + 500%

- Trait 3: When resonating with the river of civilization, all attributes + 50%

She opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Lin Zhou. He stood before the furnace, only three steps away from her. Having not slept well for a hundred days, there were faint shadows under his eyes, and his godhead integrity was only seventy percent. But his gaze was bright, brighter even than the Fire of Civilization.

"You are awake." His voice was hoarse.

"I am awake." Su Yueyao walked up to him and raised her hand, moonlight swirling in her palm. The silvery-white light carried cyan-gold patterns, the mark of the Fire of Civilization. "Your fire healed me."

"It wasn't me, it was you. The self-repair ability of the Moon God Bloodline is stronger than expected."

Su Yueyao shook her head. "Without your fire, I couldn't have repaired it. Only the Fire of Civilization can purify the erosion of guixu energy." She pressed her palm against Lin Zhou's chest, and the moonlight seeped into his godhead. Her moonlight was of the same Origin as the Fire of Civilization and could accelerate the repair of his godhead.

[Lin Zhou · Status]

- godhead integrity: 70% → 80%

- river of civilization water level: 80% → 85%

- Memory: Partially restored

Lin Zhou's godhead integrity increased by ten percentage points in an instant. He felt his memories become clearer—the outline of his mother, his childhood home, those deleted fragments were slowly being rebuilt.

"Your godhead..." Su Yueyao frowned.

"It doesn't matter. The Fire of Civilization will slowly rebuild it. Your moonlight accelerated the process."

The two looked at each other, silent for a moment. Fifty thousand soldiers watched quietly in the plaza, no one speaking. Wang Meng stood at the very front of the crowd, grinning. Qin Qing's eyes were slightly red. Lei Zhan gripped his shield, and Iron Face was expressionless, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. Golden Scale flew out from the Divine Kingdom, coiling above the furnace, his dragon roar echoing in the night sky.

"Captain, Sister-in-law is awake!" Wang Meng roared.

Lin Zhou did not correct him. Neither did Su Yueyao. She just looked at Lin Zhou, the corners of her mouth turning up slightly. "Sister-in-law?" she asked softly.

"Wang Meng has a loose tongue." Lin Zhou turned to face the fifty thousand soldiers. "Su Yueyao has awakened, and the Moon God Origin has reached Perfection. From today on, Moonlight Power and the Fire of Civilization are fused, and a new Divine Power attribute is born—Moonlight · Civilization."

He raised his left hand, and the golden Hand of Order condensed in his palm. Su Yueyao raised her right hand, and the silvery-white Moonlight Power swirled in her palm. The moment the two hands touched, cyan-gold and silvery-white intertwined, exploding into a huge firework in the Void Realm. The fireworks turned into countless points of light, falling upon the fifty thousand soldiers. Each point of light contained the dual power of Moonlight Power and the Fire of Civilization, and the soldiers felt their godheads being cleansed once over.

[Whole Army · Moonlight Baptism]

- Effect: godhead integrity + 5%

- Godhead Rank: Average LV400 → LV405

- seed of civilization strength: + 10%

Wang Meng's godhead Rank broke through from LV650 to LV660. Qin Qing's godhead Rank broke through from LV600 to LV610. Lei Zhan's godhead Rank broke through from LV580 to LV590. The strength of the fifty thousand people increased by half a level in an instant.

Lin Zhou withdrew his left hand, and Su Yueyao withdrew her right. The two stood side by side on the Wall of Heroes, looking toward the direction of the New Universe. The Fire of Civilization of one hundred thousand towns was like a sea of stars in the night sky. Golden Scale coiled on the city wall, his dragon head lowered. The Firewood Sword on the Wall of Heroes was burning, and the Marshal statue's gaze looked toward the direction of the New Universe.

"In three years, the Gate of Guixu will descend again." Lin Zhou said.

"I know." Su Yueyao said, "I will accompany you."

Lin Zhou looked at her, silent for a moment. "Your node is in the center of the defensive line. The position directly facing the Gate of Guixu."

"And you?"

"My node is at the very forefront of the defensive line."

Su Yueyao shook her head. "No, your node is in the center. The position directly facing the Gate of Guixu needs the strongest fire to illuminate it. Your Fire of Civilization is brighter than my Moonlight Power."

Lin Zhou was silent. He understood what she meant—she wanted to leave the most dangerous position to herself. Because her Moonlight Power could purify guixu energy, while his Fire of Civilization needed to illuminate the entire defensive line.

"Alright." He did not argue.

Su Yueyao smiled. It was the first time she had smiled in a hundred days. "Captain, you've lost weight."

"I haven't. I just haven't slept well."

"You can sleep well tonight."

Lin Zhou nodded.

The two walked down the city wall and headed toward the barracks side by side. Fifty thousand soldiers watched them leave, no one speaking. Wang Meng raised his battle axe; under the moonlight, the Fire of Civilization on the axe blade burned.

"Sister-in-law is awake, and the Captain is energetic." He grinned.

Qin Qing slapped him on the back of the head. "Shut up."

Wang Meng shut up.

Su Yueyao's barracks were in the eastern district of the fortress, adjacent to Lin Zhou's. No one had lived there for a hundred days, but Qin Qing cleaned it every day, and a pot of rose flowers brought from the New Universe was still on the windowsill. The silvery-white petals glowed slightly under the moonlight; that was the result of being soaked in Moonlight Power. Su Yueyao walked to the window and reached out to touch the petals. The petals trembled slightly at her fingertips, as if welcoming her home.

"Did Qin Qing put this flower here?" she asked.

"Yes." Lin Zhou stood at the door. "She said that if you woke up and saw the flower, you would be in a better mood."

Su Yueyao turned around and looked at him. "Captain, do you have something to say to me?"

Lin Zhou was silent for a moment. "In three years, the Gate of Guixu will descend again. I don't know if I can come back alive. So, some things, if I don't say them now, I might not have the chance."

Su Yueyao watched him quietly.

"I have always remembered your name. Even if my memory was deleted a hundred times, your name remained. Because your name is carved on the Heavenly Pillar, carved into the river of civilization, and carved into the core of my godhead."

Su Yueyao's eyes turned red.

"I will not die." Lin Zhou said, "The Fire of Civilization will not be extinguished. But some things are more important than life."

"What?"

"Legacy."

He walked up to her and placed a golden crystal in her palm—it was a seed of civilization, of the same Origin as the one previously gifted to Qin Qing, but brighter and warmer.

[seed of civilization · Gift to Su Yueyao]

- Origin: Lin Zhou's Fire of Civilization

- Quality: Epic

- Trait: Moonlight · Civilization (Fusion with Moon God Bloodline)

- Effect: Moonlight purification efficiency + 300%

Su Yueyao held the crystal, and it merged into her palm. Her Moonlight Power became brighter, and the cyan-gold patterns in the silvery-white light became clearer.

"From today on, your Moonlight Power is a part of the Fire of Civilization." Lin Zhou said.

Su Yueyao looked down at the flame in her palm where cyan-gold and silvery-white were intertwined, and was silent for a long time. Then she looked up at Lin Zhou.

"Captain, I will remember your words."

Lin Zhou nodded and turned to walk out of the barracks.

Su Yueyao stood at the window, watching his back disappear into the night. The rose petals glowed slightly under the moonlight. She pressed her hand on the windowsill, and Moonlight Power seeped into the petals; the rose bloomed three times in an instant.

Three years later, the Gate of Guixu would descend again. But she was not afraid. Because her Moonlight Power was already a part of the Fire of Civilization. And the Fire of Civilization would not be extinguished.
