Chapter 620: The Past of the Ethnic Group
"Yes, Kelly is just my pseudonym, my real name is indeed Clara."
Kelly, no, the girl who should be called Clara, had a very surprised expression on her face: "It's been so long, why do you still remember me?"
If it were the first time they met, Clara would definitely not admit her identity, but now that all the troubles have been solved, there is no need for her to hide it anymore.
Seeing Clara's admission, Qiu Gongyue secretly said in her heart that it was true.
She and Ellie had been searching for records about the Moon Temple before, because Clara disappeared in the Moon Temple a hundred years ago, but they could not find any clues about the Moon Temple.
Until Qiu Gongyue heard from Nina that this dream world was the Temple of the Moon, she immediately guessed that Kelly, who was incompatible with those Moon God believers, should be Clara who had been missing for a long time.
Clara said that she was very familiar with the environment here because she had stayed here long enough, and Clara disappeared in the Temple of the Moon a hundred years ago, which was indeed a long time.
Of course, this was just a very logical guess with little evidence. I didn't expect Clara to admit it so readily.
"Because the secret family history outside records your name and the Temple of the Moon, we have been looking for your whereabouts."
"Why are you looking for me??"
Kelela spread his hands: "I'm just an ancient person from a hundred years ago. I have nothing to do with you, right?"
"We are from Guangming Mountain."
Qiu Gongyue borrowed the name of Guangming Mountain. Anyway, she is indeed the origin of the deceased: "Because the inheritance of the saint has never been able to find an heir, we are here to reclaim the power that belongs to the shadow goddess."
After hearing Qiu Gongyue's words, Clara fell into silence.
If she didn't want to hand over this power, she should have questioned Qiu Gongyue's identity at this time, but she didn't say anything.
Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat deadlocked, Xu Cheng intervened and changed the subject: "What is the situation here now? Why can't we leave even after those two women are dead?"
Everyone looked at Clara, only she could explain.
Could it be that everyone is really trapped here forever?
Clara smiled: "Don't worry, the special situation here was caused by me. I can return the Moon Temple to reality at any time."
"Did you cause it?"
Qiu Gongyue showed an extremely surprised expression on her face: "Then you still said you were trapped here?"
"That's right."
Clara shrugged: "I must trap all the Moon God believers here, including Mia and Nina, and cannot let them return to reality, so it means that I myself am trapped. This is not true.
Is this a lie to you?"
"No wonder they keep looking for you."
Qiu Gongyue frowned and said: "Then what's going on with those Moon God believers outside reality? Mia and Nina are also outside, but you yourself are not in reality."
Clara smiled mysteriously: "Who told you that reality is outside?"
Nagumo Narumi, who had been watching silently, suddenly exclaimed: "What did you say? Have I been living in a dream since I was a child?"
Clara rolled her eyes at her speechlessly: "Don't add drama, it has nothing to do with you at all."
Qiu Gongyue was puzzled by Clara's words, what does it mean that the outside is not reality.
Xu Cheng suddenly remembered something and reminded her in a low voice: "When we came to find you, except for the four of you, there was no one else in the castle outside."
Hearing Xu Cheng's reminder, a bright light seemed to flash in Qiu Gongyue's mind.
She looked at Clara, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Those Moon God believers outside, as well as Mia and Nina, and Ellie who disappeared before our eyes, aren't they all alive?"
"Roughly the same."
Clara nodded and explained: "Those people outside, including Mia and Nina, are actually just souls. Their bodies have always been in the Moon Temple."
I see!
Qiu Gongyue finally understood, and some doubts could be explained clearly.
She always thought that the Moon Temple was a spiritual world, and the Moon God believers wandering in the temple were just souls, with their bodies outside.
It turns out that the real situation is the other way around. The souls are outside and their bodies are in the temple.
"wrong."
Qiu Gongyue suddenly remembered a bug: "If their bodies have always been in the Moon Temple, why don't they die when I kill them?"
Clara confessed: "That's because I have been protecting them and preventing them from dying. After all, they are the only remaining members of the tribe."
"How do you protect..."
As soon as she was halfway through speaking, Qiu Gongyue swallowed up the rest of her words and came to her senses.
The Shadow Goddess is also the Goddess of Death, and she controls the power of shadows and death.
As the heir of the Saint, if she also mastered the power of death, Clara would indeed have the ability to make these moon believers in the Moon Temple unable to be killed.
Then everything is correct. There are bodies in the Moon Temple. Under the protection of Clara's power, they will not be killed, but the damage to their bodies will still be reflected in the real souls, so their souls are
There will be traces of wounds.
Ellie was tortured in the Temple of the Moon, and her soul outside was bruised and bruised.
However, there are still many doubts.
For example, the believers of Moon God are going crazy in the temple, why are the souls outside pure and flawless, and why Ellie suddenly disappears in front of their eyes, and keeps repeating the behavior of going to the library every seven days.
Why did Clara trap Mia and the others here? Why did the Luna believers go crazy?
"I know you still have many, many questions."
Clara looked around, and finally her eyes fell on Qiu Gongyue: "You are my tribe, so it's time to tell you some truths. Come with me, and we'll talk as we walk."
Seeing Clara turning around and leaving, Xu Cheng followed with Qiu Gongyue in his arms.
Nagumo Narumi used the excuse that he was a wounded person and climbed directly on Lu Lu's body, asking her to fly with him.
As Clara walked, she asked Qiu Gongyue who was following her: "How much do you know about our clan?"
"Mia also asked me this question."
Qiu Gongyue pondered: "I only know that our clan comes from Guangming Mountain, and the saint who has been the goddess of shadows has a place in Guangming Mountain."
"Haha, Mia will definitely ask you this question when she sees your face."
Clara smiled and continued: "Our clan has a very long history, even longer than all the countries on earth. Later, due to the threat of enemies, our clan was protected by the Shadow Goddess. Many people in the clan
They all began to change their beliefs and join the Goddess Cult."
"Convert?"
"That's right. Do you think our belief in the moon didn't appear until we came to North America?"
Clara gave an astonishing answer: "In fact, our family has believed in the moon since the beginning. We are all believers of the Moon God. Later we converted to the Goddess Religion. The belief in the Moon God declined until the Shadow Goddess disappeared. We
After leaving Guangming Mountain and settling in North America, belief in the moon god revived, eventually leading to a split with the tribesmen who continued to believe in the goddess."
Qiu Gongyue did not expect that the truth would be like this: "Then what is the connection between our clan and the moon?"
"have no idea."
Clara shook her head: "But I heard my teacher, the last heiress of the Saint, mention that our clan believes in the moon because of the request from our ancestors. The ancestors said that the destination of our clan is here.
On the moon."
After Clara's narration, Qiu Gongyue learned about what happened after the split of their clan.
The ancestors of Akimiya Yue took the tribesmen who still believed in the shadow goddess and settled in Japan. The remaining tribesmen who believed in the moon continued to stay in North America and flourished.
The strange thing is that when they split up, the whereabouts of the saint who served as the Shadow Goddess was unknown.
It was not until many years after the split that the power inherited by the Saint was revived in a certain tribe in North America.
At this time, 99% of the people who stayed in North America were believers in the Moon God. They could not make this power that did not belong to the Moon God public to the public. They could only claim that they could not find an heir, so this power was unknown.
The end.
In fact, this power has been circulating within the ethnic group and has not disappeared.
But this power was not taken seriously, because they had already received power from the moon. Although it was still weak, it was enough to prove that there was indeed a god on the moon.
Believers' belief in the moon has reached its peak, even fanaticism. For this reason, they even spend huge sums of money and connections to fund the US government's lunar exploration and search for the gods on the moon.
However, several consecutive lunar explorations yielded nothing, and almost wiped out all their wealth - the Luna believers found nothing when they arrived on the moon.
During the last lunar exploration, the Pope of the Moon God Cult, who was also the patriarch of the Moon God believers, personally disguised himself as an astronaut and followed the spacecraft to the moon.
No one knows what the patriarch saw on the moon.
All we know is that the clan leader who came back after landing on the moon did bring back the powerful power of the Moon God, but the price was that the clan leader went crazy.
And the nightmare of the entire ethnic group began.
At that time, Clara was already the last heir to inherit the power of the Saintess. However, because of her disagreement with the patriarch's ideas, she was banned from the Temple of the Moon for more than fifty years.
After years of house arrest, she no longer cared about outside affairs, but she was still alarmed by the anomalies of the entire clan.
After secretly understanding it, she discovered that the power of the moon god brought back by the clan leader after landing on the moon was very powerful, even as much as that of her saintly inheritance.
