118: Chapter 118 Global Humanity Loses Consciousness! The Eternal Red Moon
At this moment, on Blue Star.
It was not just the Northern Hemisphere that could see the crimson red moon in the night sky; even in the Southern Hemisphere, where it was currently broad daylight, the red moon hung high in the sky, visible to all.
The darkness brought about by the "Super Red Moon" eclipse phenomenon was so profound that it subtly dimmed the light emitted by the scorching, bright sun, which symbolized light itself.
In the countries of the Southern Hemisphere, billions of people looked up at the "Red Moon" appearing in the high sky, gazing back at the sun, and engaged in heated discussions.
"This astronomical phenomenon is truly rare. The sun and the red moon in the same sky—this happens at most once every few hundred years! I never thought I'd be fortunate enough to witness such a scene!"
"This phenomenon is so rare; to use an idiom from Great Xia, it is 'the sun and moon shining together'!"
"It's truly spectacular! So beautiful!"
"Quick, record it! If we upload this to the internet, it'll definitely go viral!"
"Are you out of your mind?! With so many people recording videos, they don't need yours. You'd be better off cherishing this time and watching this rare astronomical phenomenon properly!"
"It's too beautiful... This must be a gift from the great God to His most sincere believers!"
"Merciful Lord..."
But soon, the billions of people in the Southern Hemisphere could no longer speak, as they fell into the same state as the humans in the Northern Hemisphere.
Like soulless walking corpses, their eyes grew unfocused, and their dull pupils reflected the crimson red moon.
If anyone could have noticed the sudden change in those around them, they would surely have questioned the reality of the world, but at this moment, no one had such thoughts.
Because across the entire Blue Star, every living creature was now inexplicably drawn to the crimson red moon in the sky.
Even if they were not illuminated by the red light of the crimson red moon or looking directly at it, they could not escape the fate of being drawn to the Red Moon.
...
Outside Jianghai City, Divine Phoenix Mountain.
The world was plunged into pitch-black darkness, and the mountain forest was silent, as if this dark land were eternal.
Combined with the red light cast down by the crimson red moon in the night sky, it was even more eerie and unsettling.
On a large mountain, a bright golden light radiated, looking like a lighthouse in the ocean of darkness, exceptionally glaring in the pitch-black environment.
Ye Yang stared at the crimson red moon hanging high in the night sky with his golden pupils.
"The essence of the Red Moon is a lunar eclipse..."
"There must be a problem!"
Ye Yang did not know that he was likely the only creature on the entire Blue Star who had maintained his consciousness and had not fallen into the pull of the Red Moon.
An hour had passed by now, and even though Ye Yang didn't know much about lunar eclipses, he knew for sure that this Red Moon eclipse was absolutely abnormal!
Since when did a lunar eclipse last this long!
He lowered his head to look at his own golden, glowing body, then glanced at the white jade bamboo emitting a faint fluorescent light nearby.
Now, in this dark mountain forest, only he and the white jade bamboo were emitting light.
He turned to look at the three animals, watching the reflection of the Red Moon in their eyes, and muttered to himself.
"Won't there be any problems? Should I try to wake them up?"
Ye Yang quickly dismissed this thought. His intuition told him that the appearance of the Red Moon was not a bad thing; if he interrupted the state of the three animals, he would be harming them instead.
He then stared straight at the crimson red moon hanging high in the night sky.
"I wonder if I can gain any benefits..."
Although he was also drawn to the pull of the Red Moon, his control over his own consciousness was very strong, and he could not be fully drawn into the Red Moon's attraction.
The red light emitted by the Red Moon fell onto his golden body, refracting an eerie, brilliant radiance, and before he knew it, the red light began to gradually enter his body.
"Notification: The Supreme Aura Cells within your body have sensed a special energy and have begun to operate!"
"Notification: The Lightning Breathing Technique within your body has detected a special energy in the surroundings and has begun to operate!"
Accompanied by the system notification ringing in his mind, a massive suction force appeared in his body, continuously absorbing the red light under the crimson red moon.
"The red moonlight won't cause any problems for my body, will it?"
Just as he was hesitating about whether to stop the Supreme Aura Cells and the Lightning Breathing Technique in his body.
Suddenly, a thought appeared in his mind!
It was the thoughts of the Supreme Aura Cells and the Lightning Breathing Technique.
"Since you want it so much, I won't stop you..."
The information revealed in that thought was sparse; the Supreme Aura Cells and the Lightning Breathing Technique had already detected the energy contained within the red light, and it would not be harmful to his body.
The thought contained an extremely eager emotion.
Ye Yang naturally trusted the Supreme Aura Cells and the Lightning Breathing Technique within him; they existed to serve him and were one with him, so naturally, they would not harm him.
Thus, Ye Yang directly moved his position, spread his wings, and prostrated himself on the ground so he could be better illuminated by the red light of the crimson red moon.
The endless red light, drawn by the pull from within Ye Yang, flowed into his body like moths to a flame, transforming into energy that strengthened his body.
Looking from a distance, one could see that Ye Yang's body was like a black hole in the universe, with the surrounding red light continuously being sucked in and devoured into his body...
Ye Yang, carefully sensing the changes within his body, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"The energy transformed from the red light of the crimson red moon is different from the spiritual energy in the air, and even the golden lightning energy within my body..."
"Although this energy can also strengthen the body, it is more inclined towards stimulating the bloodline..."
Under his highly concentrated perception, the deep red energy transformed from the red light that entered his body mostly disappeared—he didn't know where it went—while a small portion was strengthening his body.
However, he clearly felt the joyful emotion transmitted from the Supreme Aura Cells within his body.
Furthermore, he specifically brought up the system panel and, sure enough, saw the number of Supreme Aura Cells rising!
"Originally, the Supreme Aura Cells could only operate by absorbing energy from sunlight, but now, they can even operate with the red light of the Red Moon!"
He looked up at the Red Moon still hanging high in the sky.
A thought suddenly popped into his mind.
"It's been at least a few hours, and the Red Moon eclipse still hasn't ended... Could it be that this Red Moon is permanent?"
"If that's really the case, that would be great. Then the Supreme Aura Cells, just like the Lightning Breathing Technique, would be able to operate all day long..."
Just like that, time gradually passed.
As a red sun rose in the east, light began to appear on the land shrouded in darkness, and the figure of the crimson red moon gradually disappeared from the high sky.
Ye Yang flapped his wings, stood upright, and looked up at the sky.
His pupils suddenly contracted!
Because the faint shadow of the moon in the sky was still red...
