Thousands of years of ancient trees shine in the moon and dense forest, and the sky and earth are overturned in an instant.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The Ice Moon God rains down cold winds and snowflakes from the sky,"

"The Moon God of Fire calls for the flames of the abyss to break through the shackles of the earth,"

"The messenger of the moon god of thunder walks with death and despair."

"The eyes of the stars look down on the earth surrounded by the rings of night thunder,"

"It's staring, looking at the holy moon tree."

"God says that the sinful world will be destroyed and cleansed."

"It won't end in despair, I'll show you the way out."

"God's grace is like a mountain, and the law of all things will be rewritten at this moment."

Excerpt from Lanxing's ancient historical document "Dawn - A Thousand Years of Praying for the Moon".

……

Yaoyue Forest, the last refuge of the Northern Yuan Continent...... At least according to Suhui, due to the increasingly severe cold climate, most of the Moon Prayer people who were originally scattered in the north have begun to migrate south. Although it is not easy to cross the sea, it is impossible to go to the Nanyuan Continent all at once, and not everyone will be willing to take the risk of crossing the sea, at least, the place to the north is completely unable to live because of the excessive cold, even if you can't thicken your clothes to keep warm, and the southeast corner is already the warmest place.

In the distance, they saw the three tall prayer trees.

Yes, the tallest Moon Prayer Tree in the Shining Moon Forest is not one, but three ancient Moon Prayer Trees that are far above the others. They are all nearly 100 meters high...... Of course, it can't be compared to the towering giant tree in the Nanyuan Continent that is rumored to be the incarnation of the moon god's guard, and the ghost knows how many years it has lived, but it can definitely be called an ancient tree.

The Moon Prayer Tree is not the name of an individual tree, but the name of a tree, they naturally also have young saplings and ancient giant trees, and of course there are only these three ancient Moon Prayer Trees in such a vast land as the Northern Yuan Continent, but in the continuous migration, the core ancient trees of those northern settlements have been forced to give up in the face of irresistible natural disasters. Although each clan will have a few devout believers, and even willing to defend the ancient tree to the death, they have no choice but to make other choices in the face of the danger that they will all die if they stay.

People can leave, and some supplies can be brought with them, but it is impossible to take a giant tree on the road anyway, and even the saplings will become a burden for migration, at most a handful of seeds can be carried.

Interestingly, although the Moon Tree can grow all the way to a height beyond the reach of other trees, it doesn't seem to be particularly strong in its own reproductive ability, at least Xinglan has never seen most of the trees made of the Moon Tree, and they are always interspersed with dense forests composed mainly of other trees, as has always been. Xinglan has every reason to believe that the spread of the Moon Prayer Tree to the present level is also inseparable from the cultivation of the Moon Prayer People in recent millennia, and I have to say that this is a very interesting thing...... The Moon Prayer People always feel that it is the Moon Tree that shelters their lives, but in fact, it may be the opposite, it is their conservation and planting that makes the Moon Tree so prosperous.

Of course, the Moon Tree is a very useful plant for the Moon Prayer People, which is irrefutable, not to mention the leaves that can resist attractants are almost a universal antidote, and even the Confusing Heart Vine, which Twilight used to deal with the Plains Stalkers, is a special vine that grows with the Moon Tree. They are special because they are really special, and no one has ever cultivated them because no one knows how they reproduce. It's as if every time you plant a moon tree and wait for it to reach adulthood, a tangled heart vine will naturally grow on the outside of the trunk, and once this vine leaves the main trunk of the moon tree, it can't grow alone, just like a part of it.

Even though there are three old Moon Trees and some younger trees, even though they are called Moonlight Forest, there is still no denying that it is essentially a forest of striated leaves.

The green top foliage of the trees allows these trees to remain green when viewed from above, but when you actually walk in these trees, you can't see much green. Numerous colored stripes crisscross the surface of the blade. These seemingly poisonous leaves are only slightly over-pigmented, but this makes them the best source of pigment for some color-changing creatures, just like the pigments in a natural palette. However, the moon prayer people don't need this pigment very much, they can synthesize most of the pigment they need, of course, chewing two leaves occasionally is also a beneficial and harmless thing, in fact, this kind of thing is often done by these moon prayer people on the Northern Yuan Continent, once they cross the Gorge of Life and Death, although it can't be said that there is no at all, but there are very few southern leaf trees.

However, at this time, they obviously could not appreciate the dazzling colorful landscape of the striped leaf forest, because the forest in front of them and even the three tall moon trees were already covered in the same main color.

Not green, not colored, but white, the white of snowflakes.

The thick layer of snow pressed against the foliage, as if the whole forest was being pressed down, and you could feel the weight even when you looked at it from a distance. But soon, Xinglan and Twilight Snow saw the other side of the Northern Yuan Continent, an incomparably cruel and cold side.

An adult male moon prayer man collapsed on the icy wilderness, where he could even see the three moon prayer trees in the distance with his naked eye, but he just fell here...... There was no need to go through any effort to find out if he was still alive, as his upper and lower bodies had apparently fallen a few meters apart. The clothes made of animal skins were completely torn, and only bones remained in about a third of the middle, and even the bones were broken.

This is the aftermath of the beast's attack, there is no doubt about it...... If the murderer was a person praying for the moon or a person from Xinyu, or even if he died of illness, it would not have been possible to cause such a tragic scene. Even Twilight couldn't help but gasp when she saw this scene, but Suhui was not too moved, and in the face of such a tragic death of his kindred, he only sighed softly, and did not even plan to help him bury the body.

Twilight Xue frowned, if the corpses of the same clan were exposed like this in the Nanyuan Continent, even if they couldn't collect the corpses due to the situation, at least they had to help cover it up. She stopped with some hesitation, and she couldn't stand the fact that her compatriots would be eaten by the beast.

"You'll soon understand that this side is completely different from the South, and that there is no point in such a thing." As if guessing her thoughts, Suhui turned his head and said lightly, his face was still hidden behind the mask, but the silver-white crescent-shaped pupils looked at the hesitant girl through the gap in the bones, as if with pity.

Twilight quickly figured out what his mercy meant...... At a time when all the Moon Prayers were rushing from the north to the south, Twilight Snow was still walking in the opposite direction, leaving the place where he could have lived in peace and stepping onto this treacherous continent, and he did feel pity.

"It shouldn't be......" Twilight pondered for a moment, but raised her doubts, "It's true that the weather has been getting colder lately, but it should be acceptable if you wear thick clothes, and so many animals are here for food......"

"You really think there's a lot of food here?" Su Hui interrupted her suddenly, and although her voice was still extremely dull, it was mixed with a strange meaning, "Plants have stopped bearing fruit due to the cold, and the backlog of people is increasing, where do you get the food you needed before?" ”

"Fauna, of course......," Twilight paused, as she realized the problem herself. In the past few days when she and Xinglan arrived in the Northern Yuan Continent, it seemed that they had eaten and drunk well, and there were a large number of herbivore fauna next to them, but the question was why did these animals gather in large numbers?

Because it has been going into ice and snow recently.

She didn't realize this all along, not because the animal density in the Northern Yuan Continent was very high, but because the beast herds in the entire continent were constantly moving closer to the southeast. It's not really a huge number, but a natural increase in density when the herds of the entire continent are gathered in one corner. Far from doing anything to help the current form, this will further accelerate the depletion of the region's resources due to a significant increase in biodensity.

What seems to be an improvement is just a return to the past.

Seeing her expression of suddenly realizing something, Su Hui shook his head and didn't say anything, but looked at Xing Lan, the softness in his eyes towards his fellow clan quickly turned into coldness, obviously he didn't have a good impression of Xing Lan, a guy who dared to joke with the Moon God: "The front is the main area of the Bright Moon Forest, this is already the outer territory of the Moon God Altar, our own people can enter, but you ......"

He pointed to the broken blade that had been obediently following behind, and the irritation in his tone was clearly discernible: "And this big guy, you all have to wait here for the clan to discuss the results, and you can't go any further here, otherwise forcibly stepping into the Shining Moon Woodland Realm will be regarded as ......."

Rumble!

He was interrupted by a sudden thud, followed by a series of terrifying landslides that followed the first heavy roar, followed by a frantic shaking of the earth like a sieve.

Even Xinglan fell to the ground violently under this sudden violent vibration, and Su Hui and Twilight Xue were similar, and the frightened cries of the beasts could be heard in the distance, and the broken blade, as the overlord of the Plains, was even more frightened and curled up on the ground, not daring to move at all.

A thought flashed through Xinglan's heart in an instant: earthquake!

It stands to reason that animals instinctively feel uneasy before an earthquake strikes, but perhaps the earthquake was so sudden and violent that the animals did not even know it was happening. The power of nature was unmistakable at this moment, and both small animals and huge beasts, animals with low intelligence and wise moon prayers trembled with fear. No one bothered to speak, and although there were no obvious cracks in the ground, it was as violently jolted as if walking on a rope bridge, and there were barely any animals that could still stand on their bodies as far as the eye could see, and they all collapsed on the ground and even lost out of fear. Prohibit.

Maybe it's just a few seconds, or maybe it's been a whole few minutes, and Twilight hears Akira's angry roar...... She couldn't make out what he was shouting in this earth-shattering turbulent environment, but when she turned her head, it almost suffocated her.

One of the three tallest moon prayer trees in the Shining Moon Forest slowly slanted in the earth-shaking world, and finally its huge body, which had stood for thousands of years, collapsed under her terrified gaze!
