Outside Of Time

Chapter 1024 Moon Worship's Hottest Show

Upon the captain's words, Wu Jianwu raised his head, feeling incredibly content in his heart.

From the assignment of this role, he felt an unprecedented sense of superiority, whispering to himself.

'Erniu frolics with dirty hands, but within the Five Virtues, there's always a kind heart!'

He didn't recite it but it was obvious from his expression.

When the captain saw this, he smiled in admiration.

Seeing that everyone had their own roles, Ling'er also crawled out of Xu Qing's collar and looked at the captain, letting out an expectant voice.

"Senior Brother Erniu, what about me?"

"You? The little Dao companion of the divine official!"

The captain immediately spoke. Ling'er was instantly happy and extremely satisfied.

"And you, Little Li, you will follow Little Ningning. Your role is the eunuch who reads the ancient sovereign's decree."

Li Youfei had no specific requirements for the role he would play. Especially seeing Xu Qing taking on the role of a prop, he dared not say much and nodded hastily.

"What about you?" Xu Qing's expression was calm as he asked.

"Me? Haha, I'm old now. I won't stand in the spotlight. This chance to be in the limelight is for you young people. You youngsters are the future support. I'll peacefully provide you with good service and be a behind-the-scenes figure."

The captain put on a calm expression and handed the jade slips that recorded the script to everyone.

Among them, Wu Jianwu was the most attentive, repeatedly memorizing and immersing himself in the emotions. As for Ning Yan, he seemed to be drawn into the storyline, although not as dedicated as Wu Jianwu, it was still decent.

However, Nether Fairy only took a glance and sneered before continuing to slap the human-skinned lantern.

It was unknown if it was because she was releasing the killing intent in her heart or if it was because the human skin lantern felt good to the touch, but she felt that this behavior was quite comfortable.

The captain didn't care about Nether Fairy's actions. He looked at the small team he had prepared in satisfaction. He was both excited and looking forward to the show.

"Read it properly. When the time comes, all living beings in the entire Moon Worship Region will see you. I still have to put on makeup for you in a while. Also, the ancient attire has been prepared under the sponsorship of Sister Nether Fairy."

Wu Jianwu nodded vigorously and Ning Yan became even more serious. Only Xu Qing's expression was the same.

His script was extremely simple. There were no lines and basically no content… He only needed to release blood the moment the Crimson Goddess was beheaded.

After all, the first character Xu Qing played was blood.

As for the role of the God Slaying Platform's divine official, it also didn't have any lines. What he needed to do was slash down with his blade.

Although he was called a divine official, he was actually an executioner.

Hence, Xu Qing's attention was more on the broken altar here.

The ancient aura here was very dense and traces of weathering could be seen everywhere.

This reminded Xu Qing of the temple of the Extreme Heaven Saber, where the changes were also vast and profound.

"I wonder if this place can allow one to comprehend it?"

Xu Qing's thoughts drifted away.

In order for everyone to better understand their roles, as the leader of this performance, the captain felt that it was necessary for him to give a good explanation so that everyone could better get into character.

Hence, he coughed and walked forward. He leaped onto a piece of boulder and looked down.

"Everyone."

"We're going to act out two scenes this time. You guys have also seen the script in your hands. You should understand your tasks."

"The first act is titled 'Chaos of the Ancient Demoness!'"

The captain's emotions were stirred and his voice echoed.

Xu Qing didn't care. He looked at the shattered boulders on the altar and silently sensed them, experiencing the ancientness of time. At this moment, the captain's voice seemed to drift over through time.

"This story primarily focuses on the Crimson Goddess before she became a god—arrogant, tyrannical, causing chaos throughout Wanggu. In the end, the ruler, displeased with her actions, intervenes and suppresses her!"

"Of course, there needs to be some narration here!"

"As the scene unfolds, the ruler appears between heaven and earth. The background is embellished with the sun, moon, stars, wind, rain, thunder, and lightning—various divine techniques forming an array of dazzling colors. It should look incredibly splendid. I'll take care of this part."

As he spoke, the captain was beaming with joy. Clearly, he had gotten into character first.

In Xu Qing's mind, a vague image began to form with these words.

"Then, in such an environment, emphasize the dominance and grandeur of the ruler. Under the sky, he accuses Crimson Goddess of nine crimes!"

"Crimson Goddess, arrogant and detestable, even attempts to devour the ruler. In response, the ruler sends out a palm strike, severely injuring Crimson Goddess and capturing her alive."

"Here, we need to showcase the invincible aura of the ruler. Ning Yan, make sure to grasp the feeling of the ruler. He's an extraordinary figure who is a king. For this, try to recall some of the prominent figures you've encountered."

"I believe in you. You can definitely do it."

The captain looked at Ning Yan encouragingly. Ning Yan recalled his father and nodded.

"As for Big Sister Nether Fairy…"

The captain looked at Nether Fairy.

Nether Fairy coldly looked over.

The captain smiled and his voice became gentle.

"Sister Nether Fairy, I don't need to say much about you. However, acting as the role of the Crimson Goddess might be a little difficult for you. After all, Crimson Goddess is sinister. This is her nature but it's not yours."

"Sister Nether Fairy, you have a kind nature, so I feel that as long as you act against your nature, you will definitely bring out unique colors in this role."

Nether Fairy sneered.

The captain blinked and continued to speak.

"Then, there's the second act, which is also the climax of our movie."

"After the Crimson Goddess was captured alive by the ruler, she was brought here. No matter how she struggled, it was useless and she was ruthlessly suppressed."

"At this point, we need some spells to enhance the atmosphere—changes in the colors of the heavens and earth, tumultuous winds, and roaring echoes from all directions, creating an overwhelming spectacle."

"In this ambiance, the scene depicts Crimson Goddess forcibly kneeling before the ruler. The ruler bows to the heavens, respectfully seeking an audience with Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether. The projection of the Ancient Sovereign Mystic Nether arrives, and the eunuch reads out the holy edict."

"Again, various atmospheres to enhance the setting!"

The captain described with all his efforts. Clearly, he had already planned out the script quite thoroughly. At this moment, when he spoke eloquently, Xu Qing's body trembled.

As the scene in his mind was outlined, he could vaguely sense the wind here, blowing over some ancient murmurs.

Xu Qing couldn't hear what it was exactly. Only the captain's voice continued to echo.

"After that, the ruler responded and raised his hand. Xu Qing, as the divine official of the God Slaying Platform, you have to raise your blade and slash down!"

"However, you have to be careful. The blood you act as should be natural when released."

"Although this is a little different from the original plot, there's nothing we can do. We can't simulate the ruler's divine power. That kind of power that uses the sky as a blade, the ground as a platform, and the sun and moon as a connection is too imposing, so we have to make do with this."

The captain felt regret. He also wanted to display the ruler's divine art, which would be even more awe-inspiring. However, unfortunately… this was the ruler's divine power. If the level hadn't been reached, it would be challenging to display it perfectly.

"If only the heir and the others were willing to help…"

The captain swept his gaze around but didn't see the figures of those old men and women. Hence, he could only suppress his thoughts and look at Nether Fairy.

"Sister Nether Fairy, remember to show intense hatred when you're beheaded later. This…"

"I only need to see your face, and my hatred will be at its peak!" Nether Fairy glared at the captain, coldly interrupting him.

The captain blinked and did not answer. Instead, he took a few steps back and looked at Wu Jianwu.

"Little Jianjian, just be yourself."

"Little Qing, you… what are you doing?"

The captain looked at Xu Qing in surprise and noticed that he seemed to be comprehending. Hence, he was shocked and softly reminded him.

"Little Qing, you can not comprehend anything here…"

Xu Qing nodded.

The captain was curious and asked.

"Did you comprehend anything?"

"I heard a little murmur." Xu Qing lifted his head and looked into the distance.

The captain was stunned. His heart churned as he thought to himself, 'What kind of comprehension ability is this?' He then coughed.

"Then… continue."

After saying that, the captain did not disturb Xu Qing anymore. He took a deep breath and lifted his hands, his eyes revealing anticipation as he spoke loudly.

"Everyone, take your positions. Rehearsal for the play 'Slaying the God' begins for the first time!"

Wu Jianwu instantly got into character and stood there with his hands behind his back. Li Youfei quickly ran over and acted with him.

Ning Yan, who was beside them, flew into the sky and lowered his head to look down at Nether Fairy. He recalled his father's words and actions in his mind. His expression gradually became dignified and a majestic aura began to emit from him.

"Demoness!"

Nether Fairy lifted her head and coldly looked at Ning Yan.

Ning Yan's aura that had just risen collapsed under this gaze.

"Stop!"

The captain was anxious.

"Little Ningning, your emotions aren't right. Again!"

…

The rehearsal continued and everyone worked very hard. However, many issues happened on Ning Yan's part. In the end, the captain had no choice but to get Xu Qing to step in.

Xu Qing walked out expressionlessly as he comprehended. He stood in the sky and lowered his head to look down at Nether Fairy.

Under his gaze, Nether Fairy actually frowned. A hint of seriousness appeared in her eyes and she felt an inexplicable pressure in her heart.

Ning Yan followed from the side and studied the changes in Xu Qing's expression. His acting was finally a little better than before.

As the captain looked at all this, he could not help but feel emotional. In fact, this was not the fulfill script. In his version, there was originally some love and hate, with several emotional storylines.

However, when he thought of how the heir and the other elders were here and saw him making things up about their father, the captain was worried that he might not have a chance to continue filming.

Hence, he could only give up. At that moment, seeing that Ning Yan was still lacking a little, the captain walked out and was about to speak.

However, at this moment, a cold snort rang out from the sky and landed in everyone's minds, causing their souls to tremble.

"What kind of mess are you guys making!"

As the voice echoed, the figures of the heir and the others appeared in the sky. Grandma Five was expressionless, while Princess Mingmei frowned. Old Eighth, who was at the side, crossed his arms and sneered at Chen Erniu.

Xu Qing lowered his head and bowed to the sky.

"Grandpa…" The captain hurriedly revealed a fawning expression. Just as he was about to explain, the heir's voice rang out with dignity.

"Your acting is completely wrong!"

"Xu Qing, you do not have to act as blood or as a divine official. Go over and sit on the shattered boulder on the altar and comprehend the remaining killing intent on this God Slaying Platform."

"This will be of great help to your cultivation. If you can comprehend a trace of the killing intent of the God Slaying Platform here, you'll have obtained a great fortune."

"Of course, everything will depend on your comprehension ability. How much you can comprehend will depend on yourself."

When Xu Qing heard this, a strange glint appeared in his eyes. He lowered his head and nodded before heading straight for the altar in front of him. He had long wanted to go over and comprehend it. At that moment, he rapidly approached and sat cross-legged among the rubble. He then closed his eyes and began to sense the aura here.

"As for you, you can act as the divine official. Aren't you usually guarding the apothecary? Just continue the role."

The heir pointed at the captain.

The captain retracted his head. He was unwilling but he did not dare to show it on his face. He hurriedly ran over and took Xu Qing's place.

"You guys continue, I'll adjust it for you!"

As the heir spoke, he landed and sat at the side with Princess Mingmei and the others.

Under their gazes, everyone trembled in terror and began to rehearse. This time, the person who called for a halt was no longer the captain but the heir.

Under his command, the original script and lines were adjusted. Gradually, everyone got into character and slowly reconstructed the scenes in the heir's memories.

As for those embellishments, they're still more realistic than what the captain had done.

As they watched, the eyes of the heir, Princess Mingmei, and the other three revealed reminiscence.

Only Xu Qing stopped acting. He sat cross-legged on the shattered altar and silently sensed the aura here.

As time passed, Xu Qing could vaguely sense the wind coming from nothingness. It blew on his body and landed in his heart, drawing waves of ripples…
