Although Mingyue was the leader of the Heavenly Profound Realm, after Ji Shiyou's planning, many matters did not need to alarm her; the Elder Council and the Supervisory Council could resolve them.
However, since her return from completing her mission, no one had seen her. Also missing was Baobao. He Siyuan and Ming Yanan, wanting to see their daughter, couldn't find her anywhere. They could only inquire their son-in-law. Ji Shiyou merely said she was cultivating. This was a significant matter, so He Siyuan and his wife had to return. They instructed Ji Shiyou to relay to Mingyue not to overexert herself and to notify them immediately once her cultivation was complete.
After seeing off He Siyuan and his wife, Ji Shiyou returned to the Qingxu Terrace. Seeing no one around, he transformed into a wisp of moonlight and ascended into the sky. Although the world that was meant to be destroyed had been annihilated, and the mission assigned by Hongjun to the Time and Space Supervisory Department was complete, the Blood Moon had not ended in the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
Moonlight, like viscous blood, filled the universe. World after world, shrouded by the blood-red moonlight, had all its information cut off. Within the Moon Palace, the source of the blood-red light, it remained cold and desolate. Ji Shiyou's figure appeared within the Moon Palace. This was where he was born and raised, so he didn't need anyone to guide him. He navigated through it familiarly, without any escort. The entire Moon Palace had originally housed only him and his brother, Moon God. After he left, only Moon God remained, guarding it alone.
Last time, to help Ji Shiyou and Mingyue break their fate, Moon God had privately left the Moon Palace, participated in the affairs of the lower realms, and traveled to the Moonflower Realm. He was then confined by Qing Lan and sent back to the Moon Palace. After Mingyue's Heavenly Dao Disk recognized her as its master, she worried about Moon God's safety. Upon returning from the Zixiao Palace, she made a detour to the Moon Palace to visit Moon God. Using the Heavenly Dao Disk, she unbound the restraints on Moon God, restoring his freedom. This time, he was able to use the power of the Moon Palace to emit the Blood Moon, helping Mingyue conceal the heavenly secrets.
Ji Shiyou arrived at the deepest part of the Moon Palace and saw his brother, Moon God, and Baobao sitting opposite each other. Both had their eyes closed. One emanated solar power of black and gold, while the other radiated lunar power of silver-white. The two forces collided, forming a rotating Yin-Yang fish. The ultimate forces of Sun and Moon intertwined, creating a new power: Yin-Yang power. It converged at the center of the Yin-Yang fish, where Mingyue sat. Above her head floated the Creation Red Silk and the Qiankun Ruler. The Yin-Yang power was continuously striking the two magical treasures, as if trying to fuse them together, but something was always missing, preventing success.
Just then, Mingyue, seated at the center, opened her eyes and formed hand seals. "Twelve Ancestral Witches, appear!" With Mingyue's shout, outside the Yin-Yang fish formed by the two forces of Taiyin and Sun, twelve colossal true bodies appeared – the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Wu Clan. Dijiang, Jumang, Zhurong, Rushou, Gonggong, Xuanming, Houtu, Qiangliang, Zhujiuyin, Tianwu, Xizi, Shebishi. They formed a circle around the rotating Yin-Yang fish. Under Mingyue's control, their previously closed eyes opened, and they directed their respective powers, along with the Yin-Yang power, towards the Creation Red Silk and the Qiankun Ruler. Twelve new powers were added, and the two magical treasures gradually transformed, finally merging into a different form.
When the true bodies of the Twelve Ancestral Witches disappeared due to the depletion of their power, and Moon God and Baobao were exhausted, unable to sustain the Yin-Yang power any longer, a red banner appeared before Ji Shiyou's eyes – the product of the fusion of the Creation Red Silk and the Qiankun Ruler. Seeing Mingyue beckon and take the red banner into her hand, Ji Shiyou rushed to her side. "It's successful?" Ji Shiyou asked, his face tense.
"I used the Gate of Myriad Wonders to travel to the battlefield of the ancient Witch-Demon War. I collected the power of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, plus the power of my elder brother and Baobao. The two forces of Taiyin and Sun... if this still didn't succeed, it would be unacceptable." Mingyue looked at Ji Shiyou and smiled charmingly. With a flip of her palm, she put away the newly refined red banner.
"That's great, let's go back!" Ji Shiyou pulled Mingyue, moonlight swirling around him, and they disappeared from the Moon Palace. "Sister, Brother-in-law, take me too." Baobao, collapsed on the ground, shouted as he saw their figures vanish. But Ji Shiyou seemed not to hear him, causing Baobao to grumble. The moment the two met, they had eyes only for each other, neglecting even their sister. She hadn't seen her Eighth Ninth Brother for several days and also wanted to return to the Heavenly Profound Realm as soon as possible. However, her flying speed was far from that of Ji Shiyou's moonlight. She wanted a ride but was ignored.
"You little brat, you're not staying longer at home. Do you dislike the Moon Palace that much? Though it does seem too desolate here, I don't like it either." Moon God watched his brother come and go like the wind and cursed with a smile. He waved his hand, and a patch of moonlight enveloped Baobao, sending her away. "Thank you, Moon God Brother!!" Baobao's sweet voice echoed in the Moon Palace, and Moon God smiled.
Upon returning to the Heavenly Profound Realm, Ji Shiyou embraced Mingyue and entered the Qingxu Terrace. The reunion after a separation was like a new marriage, and both were somewhat passionate. However, as soon as the door of the Qingxu Terrace closed, their figures appeared in the high altitude of the Heavenly Profound Realm. This was because, just moments ago, the Heavenly Dao Disk had emitted violent fluctuations, and the light screen had appeared uncontrollably. Subsequently, in the past and future regions, all the light spots representing various worlds had turned black and were disappearing in large swathes, indicating that worlds of the past and future were being destroyed. Mingyue and Ji Shiyou were horrified. They could no longer afford to care about anything else. The most crucial matter was to preserve the Heavenly Profound Realm.
Before Mingyue could make any move, a melodious bell sound echoed through the heavens and earth. It was the Level Eight Bell of the Time and Space Supervisory Department. Normally, the sound of the Level Eight Bell was confined within the Time and Space Supervisory Department, with a maximum of nine rings, serving as a warning to members. But now, the bell sound reverberated throughout the Three Thousand Great Worlds and continued to ring ceaselessly. Such an anomaly meant only one thing: the Three Thousand Great Worlds created by the Heavenly Dao were all about to be destroyed.
Following the warning of the Level Eight Bell, on the screen transformed by the Heavenly Dao Disk, the past and future regions turned blank, and all worlds vanished. The light spots of the present worlds had all dimmed, turning black, clearly indicating they were about to disappear as well. Looking down, the Heavenly Profound Realm had become transparent, like a soap bubble that would vanish into nothingness with a gentle puff. The beings of the hundred races, led by their group leaders, looked at Mingyue in the sky with fear.
"Everyone, do not panic. The clan leaders, restrain your people and gather together. Believe me, the Heavenly Profound Realm will not be destroyed!!" Mingyue shouted loudly, her voice reaching every corner of the Heavenly Profound Realm. Everyone's hearts settled slightly. It was because of Mingyue that they had survived until now. As long as Mingyue said it was fine, it would definitely be fine. Everyone in the Heavenly Profound Realm looked up at the savior goddess in their hearts. They saw Mingyue wave her hand after speaking. A small red banner flew out and shot towards the sky. When it appeared in the boundless void, it had transformed into a giant banner thousands of miles long. The banner swayed gently, and the changes in all the worlds stopped. With another sway, the worlds returned to normal. With a third sway, golden light illuminated the universe, enveloping all the worlds.
Seeing the Three Thousand Great Worlds stabilize, Mingyue recalled the red banner from the void. However, she did not put it away. Instead, it transformed into a size of nine feet and fluttered above the Heavenly Profound Realm. This was because an endless stream of gray shadows had already surrounded the Heavenly Profound Realm. She recognized it as the chaotic energy of emptiness.
