Chapter 578: Chapter 578

After Ge Changming mentioned it, Lu Zixun then remembered that the Bloodstained Spiritual Cannon might become a weapon that could secure victory and turn the tides of war.

"Let’s talk about mass production later, the Bloodstained Spiritual Cannon as a secret weapon, and at the same time..." Lu Zixun thought for a moment, "The members of the Demon Country should not participate in this war yet, keep some forces to watch over Crimson Land."

"The plan to stay in Zone 13 is still underway, preventing a surprise attack from the Insect Clan and keeping an eye on Crimson Land as well."

Lu Zixun showed a surprised look on his face as he flipped through the Demon Country’s resource inventory list sent by Ge Changming.

He truly had not expected that the Demon Country would become so wealthy without him realizing it.

However, most of these resources were for production, and it would still be somewhat difficult to turn them into combat power in a short time.

It seemed that they would have to start with the Power of Faith.

Thinking about the Power of Faith gave Lu Zixun a headache.

Believing in the Divine could actually bring about Derivative Abilities, and Lu Zixun was even considering whether to start worshiping a Divine or not.

"Brother Xun, the factory assembly lines are currently working at full capacity to produce Spiritual Rifles and Blood Burning Bullets. Before the Insect Clan’s derived territories connect, we should be able to produce another five thousand Spiritual Rifles and one hundred and twenty thousand Blood Burning Bullets."

After a pause, Ge Changming continued, "At the same time, I don’t know if it’s because of the faith aspect, but recently, more and more Demon Ability Users have been breaking through to the J-level, and moreover... without using the Power of Faith."

What was the principle behind this?

Lu Zixun was a bit perplexed. Having faith allowed one to break through without the Power of Faith.

This seemed somewhat at odds with the Demon Ability Users’ promotion methods.

Planning to ask Feng Kui Ming later, Lu Zixun nodded and spoke indifferently, "Don’t produce only Blood Burning Bullets, we also need to prepare some Spirit-breaking Bullets, because Spiritual Ability Users are both quick and ruthless with their stabbing."

Ge Changming immediately understood Lu Zixun’s intention, nodded, and said, "I will make the adjustments. The Demon Ability Armor has already been equipped by every combatant. As long as they are careful, there shouldn’t be any problems."

"Better to err on the side of caution. Teams of five, squads of twenty; this makes management easier while giving the ’enemy’ no room to exploit."

Adding another point, Lu Zixun changed the subject and said, "Do a survey soon. Anyone who has nightmares needs to register with you."

Ge Changming, who had been nodding, suddenly froze, giving Lu Zixun a stunned look.

"Why are you making that face?"

Lu Zixun’s mouth twitched, and he brought a paw to his forehead.

He seemed to have forgotten to tell them about Crimson Land’s Derivative Abilities.

After a brief explanation of Nightmare’s abilities to Ge Changming.

Ge Changming gestured "OK" with his hands and left the room.

Seeing Shadow, who always waited until Ge Changming had left before coming to report, Lu Zixun felt somewhat helpless. "What have you found?"

"About the Bloody Moon."

He placed the ancient tome of the Demon Clan on the table, and for the first time, Lu Zixun saw hesitation on Shadow’s face.

Instead of flipping through the tome right away, Lu Zixun’s gaze fell on Shadow, "What’s wrong with you?"

"Lord Xun, Shadow Wolves are fond of howling at the moon, so I’m particularly sensitive to changes in the moon. And in the ancient tomes of the Shadow Wolf Clan, I found that the Bloody Moon had once appeared in the Crimson Land."

It was obvious that Shadow took a deep breath, "And the Bloody Moon is a crazed and secretive existence, which can awaken the bestial nature in the hearts of the Demon Clan without them realizing it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun’s brow furrowed deeply.

He raised a paw and flipped open the tome, starting to carefully examine the passage that Shadow referred to.

[The appearance of the Bloody Moon made the members of our clan feel uneasy; a red moon has always been a symbol of impurity. As the High Priest of the clan, it was also my first encounter with such a phenomenon, and I could only reassure my people that this was normal.]

[The situation progressively worsened, and some clan members who saw the Bloody Moon began to lose their rationality, and it seems I have also been affected. I could only use Demon Power to suppress that violent feeling inside.]

Beyond this point, the records in the tome began to become disordered and chaotic.

It took a great deal of effort for Lu Zixun to make out what was written.

[Our people have gone mad, beginning to slaughter the neighboring tribes, and I cannot hold on much longer, perhaps a day? Or maybe an hour? I cannot say. The Bloody Moon is actually a Divine being. Its power can illuminate the night, or it can be swallowed by the night.]

[In the classics, I found the Divine being that could lift this power, but that Divine being had fallen a long time ago, and the Shadow Wolf clan...]

The following pages were destroyed by a deep scratch, making them irrecoverable.

Thus, it was impossible to know what the High Priest wrote.

It seems that at this point, the High Priest had been completely influenced by the Bloody Moon.

Awakening the beastial nature within, only the power of a Divine being could lift this influence, to illuminate the darkness, or to be swallowed by it...

Lu Zixun’s brows were tightly knitted as he drummed his fingers on the table, and Shadow, knowing that Lu Zixun was contemplating, stood silently to the side, saying nothing.

After a while, Lu Zixun looked up at Shadow, "I think... I know who the Divine being mentioned in the classics that can lift the influence of the Bloody Moon is."

Unexpectedly, the Dark Night Goddess had such a connection with the Bloody Moon.

Lu Zixun’s eyes flickered with dim and unclear light. It seemed that Ribel City’s emergence at the site of the Crimson Academy was no accident, but was it justice?

To balance the powers between the two sides, from Divine beings to ordinary people, is this the true power of the Justice Goddess?

However, in Lu Zixun’s view, was this so-called balance truly balanced?

"Can the time of the Bloody Moon’s appearance be investigated?"

He did not mention the name of the Dark Night Goddess, and it wasn’t that Lu Zixun was deliberately playing coy.

But the Dark Night Goddess had already descended upon Ribel City. What if she noticed him and came after him?

However, Shadow clearly was not the type to ask questions incessantly.

Seeing that Lu Zixun did not say, he did not ask further, merely nodding his head, "The investigation is underway, and we should have news soon."

After Shadow left, Lu Zixun was faced with a headache once again.

If the Bloody Moon had that sort of ability, then the Demon Country would have to seek the help of the Dark Night Goddess to stand against the Crimson.

Otherwise, just the insurmountable influence of the Bloody Moon alone would be enough to begin the internal collapse of the Demon Country.

At the same time, Lu Zixun also received a piece of not-so-good news.

It appeared the Crimson Moon was truly not a benevolent Divine being, troublesome indeed.
