Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 322: Andromeda

The remaining elves survived thanks to Yue Xuexia’s divine healing skill. Old Leaf took over the leader position for a while, as most elves were not in the right state of mind to lead. Even though their bodies had been healed, miasma affected their minds, leaving them confused and sometimes in a daze.

Old Leaf wasn’t much affected by miasma, thanks to his merits. After being purified by the Moon Goddess, his state of mind is sharper than before and more relaxed compared to when they first met. He commanded the elves to clean up the ashes in the area.

Meanwhile, Yue Xuexia and the rest of her group rested in the Elven village for a while. It took half a day before Old Leaf came to them. He made sure that his brethren had moved on from what the former village chief had done. They had also cleaned up the village and removed all traces where a demonic aura or miasma was lingering.

Old Leaf’s face was actually quite ugly when he came to meet Yue Xuexia, Tan Bingyu, Taiyang, and Shen Jueyang. Clearly, while cleaning up the village, they found something devastating.

Tan Bingyu served some green tea to calm Old Leaf down. Only after his expression was relaxed for a bit did the other ask what was wrong.

Taiyang asked, "What’s wrong? You don’t look good."

"We found a pile of dead bodies under the village chief’s house. It was like a slaughterhouse, and the victims’ blood was removed from their bodies and collected as a pool made of blood."

Tan Bingyu frowned when she heard about that. Such an evil thing to do only evil cultivators practice such a thing.

"That’s normal. Those who are affected by miasma but retain their rationality will become thirsty for blood and seek the aura of death. They become wild and ferocious," said Taiyang.

Shen Jueyang asked, "Have you cleaned up the blood pool?"

"No. We don’t know how to clean it up. I come over to ask if you have a way to destroy it," said Old Leaf.

Shen Jueyang said, "Bring Taiyang with you. He will burn it down to evaporate the entire pool."

"Let’s go!" said Taiyang about dragging the Old Leaf away.

Yue Xuexia spoke up and said, "Wait!"

The two men looked in her direction. Everyone saw the orb that she pulled out from her inventory. Yue Xuexia gave this orb to Old Leaf.

"This is the orb of memories from an Ancient Elf King. The knowledge of an Elf King was gathered in this orb," said Yue Xuexia. "To use it, crush it with your own hands."

Old Leaf had crushed the orb of memories in his hands, and light entered his mind directly as if to bring him to another era that he had never seen before. He slowly absorbed the memories that appeared in his head. The knowledge of an ancient race was something not just anyone knew about.

The group had to protect him until the knowledge within those orbs of memories was completely absorbed by him. Because of this event, the group led by the Moon Goddess stayed at the Elven village for a bit longer.

It took days before Old Leaf woke up from his state. His whole demeanor had changed from a casual one to a graceful one. His gestures were a bit expressive, and the expressions on his face could hardly be controlled. He becomes less expressive in expression, but his aura is heavier than before.

Old Leaf said, "Please pardon my rudeness for taking your time. I give my gratitude for the protection you had given to me before I opened my eyes." He clasped his hand as a gesture of gratitude.

Yue Xuexia said, "You’re welcome. Since you are awake, we want to go to the last village. Care to tell us about that place? You’ve mentioned before that the last village no longer exists. Why did you say that, and what race lived in that village?"

The Moon Goddess asked multiple questions all at the same time. If it were the former Old Lead, he would take a while to organize his thoughts before answering, but the current Old Leaf is completely different from before.

It was just his gestures, way of speaking, or demeanor had changed. The current Old Leaf seems to have changed from a different person. Only Shen Jueyang and Taiyang noticed that what was inside the body had been replaced. The old elf in front of them is no longer the original Old Leaf.

The elf before them smiled a bit but remained calm under the scrutinizing gazes of Shen Jueyang and Taiyang.

"According to what I remember, the race that lives in the last village is the Beastmen. They are like humans standing on two feet, but their features are similar to animals overall."

"The Beastmen race is a natural fighting face. They were the vanguard in the last war. The death count for this race had reached an astonishing number, and after we split up to escape, we didn’t know what happened to them."

"I’ve visited their village a few times in the past. However, the village was empty, as if abandoned. In the last war, only a few men and mostly females had survived. At least, that’s what it’s supposed to be. I had an inkling that maybe the beastmen were enslaved by the Demonic Titanoboa."

It was only during the conversation that Yue Xuexia and Tan Bingyu noticed that there was something wrong with Old Leaf. Tan Bingyu stares at him with a dark face as if facing a great enemy.

Tan Bingyu said, "Who are you?"

Everyone was staring at the elf before them. He didn’t even look stunned that his identity had been exposed. Instead, he gave them a friendly smile. With a few unknown gestures done by his hand, the nature around them started moving.

The nearest tree branches move and transform the whole thing into a better one, from a simple to a cozy manor.

The elf in front said, "I am the Ancient Elf King from the orb of memories. The original owner of this body is suicidal. He wanted revenge even if in exchange he would suffer a lot as payment."

"He gave you his body, and in exchange, you will kill his nemesis, the Demonic Titanoboa, and the Ancient Tree God," stated Shen Jueyang.

The Ancient Elf King said, "Yes. That’s what the child had decided. The whole place had been renovated to something acceptable. Let’s continue our conversation."

"Name is Andromeda. Ancient Elf King Andromeda. The origin of all Elven races in this Exiled Star."

Yue Xuexia said, "A pleasure to meet you, King Andromeda. I’m called Yue Xuexia."

"Nice meeting you, Moon Goddess. You have changed a lot from how I remember you," said Elf King Andromeda.

Shen Jueyang asked, "Why would an Ancient Elf King be in his small star?"

"Didn’t the old Moon Goddess tell you? I gave this star to her after entering hibernation of the soul. My soul had been badly injured when I first met the young Moon Goddess. I was also the one who taught her about direct soul reincarnation." Elf King Andromeda moved his gaze from Yue Xuexia to Shen Jueyang.

He actually also looked at Tan Bingyu and Taiyang, but his eyes landed more on Shen Jueyang.

Elf King Andromeda spoke, "Immortal Sun Emperor. I had the last memorial the former Moon Goddess left in my care. Would you like to see it?"

Shen Jueyang didn’t respond right away and glanced at Yue Xuexia, who remained calm even at the mention of her former self.

"Go ahead," said Shen Jueyang.

The Ancient Elf King pulled something from his inventory. It’s a memory stone recorder that people of the immortal world use to leave a message. He poured his qi into the memory stone, and the former Moon Goddess appeared.

{His Majesty, Lord Shen. I do not know if you will be able to see this message, but I left this recording to warn you. The Immortal Star Emperor will definitely look for this exiled star. After all, the key to fully opening up the primordial world was hidden in this star. Andromeda knows where the key is hidden.}

{Also, I will now officially divorce you. After this message was seen by you, the marriage soul contract we signed before will now be destroyed. Shen Jueyang, you are now free as you wish.}

The last visage of the Moon Goddess, Yue Xuehua, was a small smile yet full of confidence. Shen Jueyang felt the resemblance of the Moon Goddess in this recording was very similar to Yue Xuexia. He also felt the soul connection he had with the Moon Goddess before faded, and the oath they made before was also canceled.

Shen Jueyang turned his head and looked at Yue Xuexia. There is a rare smile similar to the Moon Goddess in the recording, and they hear her mumbles.

She said, "At least, at the very end, you freed yourself from the chains you placed on yourself."

On the other hand, Shen Jueyang was stunned and confused. It was at this moment that he couldn’t directly say that the person in his heart was the current Yue Xuexia and not the former Moon Goddess. This is because, at that last visage of Yue Xuehua, he saw Yue Xuexia in her.

Shen Jueyang said, "Xue’er, you..."

"I’ve told you before. I might be her incarnation, but her feelings for you had never been passed on," said Yue Xuexia.

Ancient Elf King Andromeda said, "I know the reason for that. The Moon Goddess removes her emotions and feelings before entering reincarnation. She said she wanted to be reborn into a new person."

"She also did that so the soul marks the Immortal Star Emperor left in her will not follow her in her next life. Because of that, her power scattered all over this star and in the immortal world."

"Little Moon Goddess, you must find that on your own. That’s the reason for the existence of your system."
