# Chapter 3069: Paying Homage to the Moon God
Zhang Ruochen said, "That's not right! If Wu Yue had this kind of relationship with Fengdu Dadi, how could she have given birth to a son for Wentong? Did Wentong have that much courage?"
The relationship between Wu Yue and Wujiang was something Zhang Ruochen had inferred.
Moreover, such legends did indeed circulate among the gods.
But Wentong was merely a Taibai Realm great god—where did he get the courage to lay a hand on a woman connected to Fengdu Dadi? And this woman was no weakling.
Even Zhang Ruochen was now thinking, when he next saw the Moon God, should he ask for the Jade Emperor Cauldron? At least he couldn't use force.
Xiu Chen said, "This god has heard something about this matter. Hmph, it's most likely Jiusi Yitianhuang's scheme. He wasn't trying to use Wentong, but rather Wo Xuanzang, who stood behind Wentong."
"Of course, there's another possibility—it was a smokescreen to prepare for his tenth life."
"That Wujiang had decent foundations. At the very least, in the Great Saint Hundred Shackles Realm, he reached the minimum threshold for contending for supremacy across the universe. And since Jiusi Yitianhuang's tenth life can only choose from the Underworld Clan or the Death Clan, using Fengdu Dadi and Wo Xuanzang's reputation to protect his future incarnation is entirely possible."
Zhang Ruochen saw Xiu Chen getting more and more excited, as if it had seen through some secret, and couldn't help but say, "I already killed Wujiang."
Xiu Chen's expression froze. "You're still alive?"
"Barely," Zhang Ruochen said.
Xiu Chen pondered for a long time, then sighed softly.
All the previous speculations had become completely meaningless because of Wujiang's death.
Suddenly remembering something, it said, "You said Xu Fengjin took a liking to Wu Yue and wanted to take her as his Heavenly Consort, to be the mistress of the Great Calamity Palace? Is that true or false?"
"That part is true," Zhang Ruochen said.
Xiu Chen burst out laughing. "That's right! Although Xu Fengjin is a lecherous demon lord, he's very picky. How could he possibly covet another man's woman? This means my guess is at least eighty to ninety percent correct."
"If that's the case..."
Zhang Ruochen trailed off, falling into deep thought.
Xiu Chen's expression turned serious. "What exactly is your relationship with Xu Fengjin? Why not just hand Wu Yue over to that old bastard? From now on, there will definitely be a great drama in the Hell Realm."
"If Fengdu Dadi finds out that you were the one who handed Wu Yue over to Xutian, do you think he'll let you off?" Zhang Ruochen said coldly.
Xiu Chen was furious. This black-hearted Zhang Ruochen actually wanted to push it forward as a shield.
Once the matter came to light, who could escape?
"Let her out first. I want to see if she's really lost her memory."
Zhang Ruochen still felt Wu Yue was a threat.
If she had truly lost her memory, handing her over to Xu Fengjin might not be a bad idea. Fengdu Dadi, as a generation's Heavenly Venerable, wouldn't stoop to settle scores with a junior—after all, Xu Fengjin was the real culprit.
But if Wu Yue was pretending to be amnesiac because of severe injuries, then she absolutely could not be allowed to live.
He would have to find a way to make her die at the hands of Mingjianshen or Xuanyuan Lian.
Wu Yue was released from Xiu Chen's Eternal Heart.
She wore a black robe, but her skin was as white as immortal jade—a stark contrast.
The black robe was loose, hiding her figure, but her face was truly "only found in heaven, rarely seen in the mortal world." Gone were her former murderous aura and sinister charm. She looked very much like the Moon God—fresh and refined, untouched by dust. She didn't need powerful cultivation to enhance her appearance and temperament; she could steal a man's soul just as she was.
However, there were differences in her divine charm.
At this moment, Wu Yue's eyes were pure and innocent. When she looked at Zhang Ruochen, there was confusion and curiosity, but also wariness and caution. She was like a secluded young lady of a noble house, looking at a man who had suddenly barged into her home.
Zhang Ruochen held his breath and watched for a long time. Seeing Xiu Chen sneer beside him, he said, "What are you laughing at? Do you think I've developed some filthy thoughts? Toward the Moon God, I only have respect and admiration, not a trace of desire."
"Am I called Wu Yue, or the Moon God?" Wu Yue asked.
Hearing this question, Zhang Ruochen stepped back and bowed. "I pay homage to the Moon God Empress!"
Wu Yue remained composed. "Why are you bowing to me?"
Although she had lost her memory, as a god with powerful spiritual power, she could quickly perceive this world and familiarize herself with everything around her, possessing a strong consciousness.
Losing her memory wouldn't completely turn her into a weak woman at others' mercy.
"I am the Moon God's divine envoy," Zhang Ruochen said.
Wu Yue clearly didn't believe him. "How can you prove that?"
"My memories and consciousness can prove it."
Zhang Ruochen opened his palm, and bright starlight radiated from it, forming a sea of consciousness that pulled Wu Yue's gaze into it.
Immediately, everything Zhang Ruochen had experienced with the Moon God was presented.
Xiu Chen looked disdainful and muttered something.
From the shape of its mouth, it was, "Shameless!"
Zhang Ruochen ignored it, his gaze fixed on Wu Yue's face, watching her expression change.
After seeing all the experiences between Zhang Ruochen and the Moon God, a blush appeared on Wu Yue's face. There was no helping it—Zhang Ruochen and the Moon God's relationship was too intimate. They had seen each other completely clearly, in the literal sense.
Back then, when the Moon God inscribed protective divine marks on Zhang Ruochen's body, she had even marked the unspeakable places.
If she hadn't lost her memory, Wu Yue probably wouldn't have cared about this at all.
But after losing her memory, her understanding of the outside world was still limited to what she had seen among mortals on the Divine Continent using her spiritual power, so naturally, she had a sense of shame.
The wariness in Wu Yue's eyes toward Zhang Ruochen dissipated. "Zhang Ruochen, after you went to the Hell Realm, this god has had nothing to do with you. What face do you have to call yourself my envoy?"
Zhang Ruochen looked at Wu Yue like this and was momentarily stunned.
This expression, this tone—it was exactly like the Moon God. She learned too quickly!
But then again, it made sense. Wu Yue had very little exposure to things at the moment. By showing her his experiences with the Moon God, wasn't he essentially implanting the Moon God's memories into her?
Zhang Ruochen said, "I am now the Realm Lord of Xinghuantian. I'm not considered a cultivator of the Hell Realm anymore. Didn't we already settle this in the Heavenly Court? Why are you bringing this up again?"
"Stop with the nonsense. First, undo the seal on this god."
Wu Yue's gaze turned to Xiu Chen. "What is your relationship with her?"
"Moon God, rest assured. I have subdued it," Zhang Ruochen said.
Wu Yue looked at Xiu Chen with great hostility. "What exactly happened? Where is this place? Why did this god lose my previous memories?"
Zhang Ruochen sighed. "It's all because of the calamity of the Jade Emperor Cauldron. No one expected that after smelting the Jade Emperor Cauldron for three months, its form would drastically change, turning into one of the Nine Cauldrons—the Universe Cauldron."
Seeing Wu Yue frown, Zhang Ruochen immediately explained the importance of the Nine Cauldrons.
Having seen that segment of Zhang Ruochen's memory world, Wu Yue naturally knew who the Jade Emperor Cauldron belonged to. She glared coldly at Zhang Ruochen. "This god's Jade Emperor Cauldron has been lost. No, I must find a way to reclaim it."
Her Jade Emperor Cauldron?
Zhang Ruochen's face darkened as he carefully observed Wu Yue again, beginning to suspect that the person before him was actually the Moon God herself.
Otherwise, why was she so shameless?
Standing to the side, Xiu Chen watched Zhang Ruochen's manipulative operation and finally realized what he intended to do.
Such lowly tactics—Xiu Chen wouldn't even think of using them, let alone actually do so.
But who could blame anyone? Wu Yue had lost her memory.
Who could blame anyone? Zhang Ruochen and the Moon God really were close. They really had that many memories.
These memories weren't fabricated.
If they were fabricated, Wu Yue, with her powerful spiritual power, would be able to tell at a glance even if she had lost her memory.
At this moment, Xiu Chen was in an excellent mood. First, it hadn't expected that the pure and flawless Moon God was actually not so perfect. Second, it was amusing to see a god with such powerful spiritual power being toyed with like this.
Wu Yue said, "Why haven't you undone the seal on this god yet? If we wait any longer, the Universe Cauldron will become someone else's!"
Seeing Zhang Ruochen hesitate, a strange expression appeared on Wu Yue's face. "What are you afraid of? Have you hidden some memories about this god? Is my memory loss related to you?"
"With the Moon God's cultivation, how could I possibly make you lose your memory? I don't know what happened to you either. I need to investigate first."
Zhang Ruochen reached out his hand and pressed it against Wu Yue's forehead, which was as white as jade.
Wu Yue gritted her teeth, very annoyed, and tried to step back, but Zhang Ruochen grabbed her fragrant shoulder.
She didn't struggle, maintaining her annoyed expression, but her snow-white face gradually turned the color of rouge.
After the examination, Zhang Ruochen fell into deep thought, his expression growing stranger and stranger.
Xiu Chen said, "This god already examined her long ago. The Moon God's divine soul was severely eroded by void power. She lost six of her seven souls. Fortunately, her spiritual power is strong, or she would have perished."
Zhang Ruochen and Wu Yue had suffered the spiritual power storm together.
Zhang Ruochen had drifted in the Void World for who knows how long. Protected by the Buddha Relic, his physical body and divine soul were still severely damaged. It was only because a divine sword had split open the Void World that he could escape in time.
But even so, he had to use the Bright Mirror Platform and consume large amounts of Eon Sacred Medicine to recover.
Wu Yue was a spiritual power cultivator. Her physical body wasn't strong, and she didn't have the Buddha Relic, Heart of Truth, or White Pale Blood Earth to protect her. After prolonged void erosion, it was entirely possible that she had lost her souls and po, and with them, her memories.
Moreover, when Zhang Ruochen had pressed his hand on her shoulder earlier, he had noticed that the black robe she wore was condensed from spiritual power and divine qi.
Clearly, even her original black robe had been corroded away by the void.
Zhang Ruochen thought about his next plan and gently waved his hand, signaling Xiu Chen to undo the seal on Wu Yue.
Wu Yue's spiritual power recovered. She pressed out two jade-like fingers, and a complex white light pattern seal appeared at her fingertips, striking the defenseless Zhang Ruochen in the chest.
"Boom!"
Zhang Ruochen flew backward, crashing into the wall of the sacred chariot.
A defensive formation appeared on the chariot wall.
Zhang Ruochen's chest ached as if it were splitting apart. His expression changed drastically, and he immediately summoned the God-Defying Stele, preparing to fight.
Wu Yue's long hair fluttered as she snorted coldly. "Once a divine envoy, always a divine envoy. Do you dare to fight this god? That strike was punishment for your earlier disrespect. Let's go. Reclaim the Universe Cauldron!"
Zhang Ruochen was shocked and uncertain. Was she really the Moon God?
She shouldn't be, right? The Moon God's spiritual power wasn't this strong.
