Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 633: Space Distortion

The space distortion above the empire had caught everyone’s attention. This is especially true for the cultivators who had gathered in this place after learning that the entrance of the Ancient Ruins would be opening at this empire. Almost all cultivators at Huashen Realm had come out looking at the distorted sky, the space distortion cannot be easily seen or felt as you need special kind of intuition, sharp instinct or uniques sense.

Huashen Realm Cultivators gain affinity with their world or the nature of qi itself after one becomes a demigod. Divine energy helps a lot with enhancing one’s sensitivity seeing through things. Adding the fact that by now everyone knows that the entrance of the Ancient Forest would be opening here in Xinglou Empire.

In the royal palace...

Emperor Russell and his empire had already expected this event and was prepared to make sure that the empire where the common people lived would not be affected or destroyed. They had bought a defensive formation especially for this. It’s the kind that blocks anything that tries to destroy the formation and protects everything inside.

The Prime Minister reported, "Your majesty! The entrance to the Ancient Ruins had appeared."

Nodding. Emperor Russell vi Grandrouge commanded, "Activate the defensive barrier and formation within and outside the empire!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" responded his prime minister and royal guard.

Beside Xinglou Empire’s emperor is his empress, Empress Gou. She looked worried as she knew that her elder brother would be going inside together with the prime minister, Lin Chiyu and some more experts who have worked for her husband since he was a child.

Empress Gou asked, "Will it be alright? I heard from the elder that the weakest from the other dimension is at least Mahayama Realm."

"Don’t worry. Brother-in-law and others knew when to push forward and to retreat. Moreover, they weren’t the only ones going inside. The Moon Goddess and some seniors would be there as well. As long as they didn’t do anything which would cause them their lives, they will be fine. Wife, don’t worry too much," said Emperor Russell as he gently caressed her bulging stomach.

It’s been three years since they were married and this is the first time Gou Yura got pregnant. If not for this special event in their lives, the two of them would most likely have followed Gou Yuki and the rest to the Ancient Ruin. This is an opportunity that comes once in a lifetime. However, compared to their future child, it’s not as important as their first child.

Gou Yura caressed her tummy with her husband and pouted, "If only I didn’t get pregnant this year, we could have gone in with them."

"It’s alright. We are already demigods. We can wait for the next time it opens. We have a long life ahead of us," said Emperor Russell vi Grandrouge. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Meanwhile, the sects and clans within the empire had started to make their final preparations. Yue Xuexia was the first one to check the entrance and probe for the requirements for entrance.

Grandpa Xia asked, "How is it, Xue’er?"

"Minimum Requirements: Huashen Realm. But I can lower it temporarily to Peak Yuanying Realm. There is a condition for entrance though for those at Yuanying Realm," said Yue Xuexia.

Sect Master of the Starfield Sect, Xing Kunlun asked, "What is the condition?"

"They must break through to the Huashen Realm inside or they will not be able to come out. Inside is the dimension of Ancient Ruins, there is a higher Heavenly law inside. It might be broken but it can restrict me from changing its laws. I can only interfere from here which is outside."

"If a Yuanying Realm Cultivator plans to go in, there is a risk. If they don’t break through, they can only stay inside until they do and the entrance is opened again. Moreover, this door teleports randomly when it opens again after we return here, it is unknown where it will be connected."

"Think wisely before entering the ancient ruins as Yuanying Cultivator. Also the entrance will officially open tomorrow midday. There will be a powerful suction at the entrance at dawn to morning, don’t get sucked in. I do not know if one will survive turbulence within a space distortion."

The Moon Goddess had explained to the leaders of the sects and clans about the risk and requirement for entering the door connected to the ancient forest. Those who are at Huashen Realm had no problem. Ever since the appearance of the Hidden Dungeon, there have been quite a lot of cultivators who had broken through to Huashen Realm. With the legacies of god falling into people of this planet, it also greatly increased the heavenly laws of their world. Which is good as it means that the star will be able to upgrade faster without waiting for the world tree to grow into an adult one.

Yue Xuexia said, "Grandpa, you can arrange things for now. I will come back tomorrow in the middle of the day to open the entrance and create a stable space connection to the other end."

"Alright. Leave things here for us to handle," Supreme elder of Starfield Sect, Xia Lianyu said.

Only when the Moon Goddess heard her grandfather’s response that she took her leave. Since the entrance cannot be opened today, she can only come back when she can already go in. As for those who were left behind, not everyone was from her side. Those who knew her listened to her warning and stepped back from the space distortion planning to ask their people whether they are willing to take the risk of not being able to come back once one failed to break through to Huashen Realm.

However, not everyone believes in the Moon Goddess and chooses to wait near the spatial distortion waiting for it to open. They took the place of the ones who had left and even flashed some smug look on their faces as they watched the big sects and clans retreat.

On the way back to the Starfield Sect’s elders and core disciples...

Xia Baiyu asked, "Master, is it alright to not warn those people? They got too close to the distortion."

"Let them be. They’ve heard Xue’er’s words but choose not to listen. Whatever happens to them next no longer has anything to do with us," said Xia Lianyu as he looked at his junior brother who is also the sect master of the Starfield Sect, Xing Kunlun.

He said, "Shidi, it seems that we cannot bring everyone with us inside. It’s better to bring the ones running out of lifespan."

Sect Master XIng Kunlun nods at this suggestion. "It can be said for those who are running out of time, the risk the Moon Goddess has mentioned is not a problem at all. The problem is those who wanted to come regardless of the risk. Should we still bring them with us, Shixiong?"

"Let them make their own decision. Whatever the result will be, it has nothing to do with us as this is the choice they’ve chosen," said Xia Lianyu. "Though there are a lot of opportunities inside, the enemies are more powerful. A smaller group will allow us to survive longer."

"Alright. I understand, Shixiong. Even if the number is too much, splitting inside shouldn’t be a problem," said Sect Master, Xing Kunlun.

Xia Lianyu said, "From my side, only your sister-in-law and our disciple will go inside. For the rest, you can handle it. I will need to check what should be brought in just in case."

"I will handle it. Don’t worry, Shixiong," said Sect Master Xing Kunlun.

The same scene was happening to the other groups connected to the Moon Goddess. On the other hand, those hard headed fools who chose to ignore the warning from Yue Xuexia were now blocking the entrance of spatial distortion, acting as if they own it.

These cultivators were staying near the Starfield sect a moment ago and overheard what the Moon Goddess had said. There is only one of them who looked around especially at the space distortion with anxiety imprinted on his face. She is the youngest in her group and they’re from a small sect within the Xinglou Empire. A sect called Flower Sect, this is a sect with only females as disciples.

The youngest cultivator was feeling terrified as she couldn’t help but look around. Her senior noticed her reaction and couldn’t help asking her what was wrong?

"Are you trembling? Don’t tell you are scared, Shimei?"

"Shijie, you don’t think that the words of warning from the Goddess of the Moon are fake, right? I feel extremely uncomfortable just looking at that swirling space. Can’t we just come back tomorrow, please?" The youngest said.

"But if we leave now, someone will take over our place. This is the first in the row. When the entrance opens we will be the first one to enter! That means greater opportunity."

The youngest retorted, "But what if it’s dangerous first. Shijie, Shizun, I want to go back tomorrow instead. Can I return to the inn?"

"If you leave there is no need to go back! This is our opportunity! We can’t waste it just because you are scared," another senior sister said.

Their master sighs and says, "Go. Rest in the inn and think whether you still want to go in tonight. Come back here tomorrow morning."

"Shizun!~"

"It’s alright. She is the youngest. It’s alright for her to be timid. It’s not like you don’t know her nature. Youngest, go back to the inn." The Flower Sect Master said.

The gentle senior sister who had been talking gently with their youngest volunteered to protect her shimei (Junior Sister).

"Master, I am worried about the youngest. Can I go accompany her?" asked the gentle senior sister.

Sigh~

"Just go!" Their master said.

Two cultivators from the flower sect looked at their group one last time before returning to the inn. Most of the other senior sisters were looking at the youngest with disdain while their sect master looked at the spatial distortion with a serious expression.

She mumbles, "I hope the words of the Moon Goddess are just a speculation."
