At this moment, the red moon in the sky expanded its range, invisibly emitting a large amount of divine force from the Moon God.
Xiao Wu stood blankly in place; her Spirit seemed to be controlled, and she had temporarily lost consciousness.
This was the Moon God's proudest attribute ability—creating her own Domain by invading others' dreams to destroy the dreamer.
The illusion followed the same principle; one could only blame the system for not taking proper security measures, allowing the Moon God to slip in.
Chu Feng had a thought and first summoned the Primordial Chaos Aura to cover Xiao Wu, which would prevent her from suffering any intrusion for a period of time.
But the trouble was far from over.
A large number of humans who had previously appeared near the Red Mansion showed signs of demonic Possession; their eyes were red and their bodies stiff, looking like both puppets and zombies.
Among them was the old man who had been preaching; he held several scrolls filled with demonic paintings and was muttering incantations to himself.
From this, Chu Feng knew why his Dharma treasures had suddenly failed.
Because within the Moon God's Domain, one would not only fall victim to the Moon God's mental attacks but also have their Daoist techniques exploited. After all, dreams could replicate various abilities in a way, and the Moon God's powerful divine force indeed allowed her to copy some of Chu Feng's techniques.
Therefore, the old man's actions were merely a manifestation of the Moon God's ability; everything here was driven by her consciousness.
Boom~
The Xingtian Martial Soul was somewhat impatient. He couldn't be bothered to deal with these half-human, half-ghost creatures. He raised his axe and began hacking wildly, causing even more ferocious destruction than before.
The beautiful scenery of the Red Mansion was instantly reduced to ruins and debris.
The Moon God roared, "You are absolutely unforgivable! You've turned my place of art into this."
Then she bypassed Xingtian and came straight toward Chu Feng; after all, one always picks the softest target first.
Chu Feng naturally let her have her way and didn't summon his Spirit back to his side.
Although all of Chu Feng's attributes were halved, most of his Dharma treasures were sealed, and both his mental force and spirit power were declining, he remained very calm.
Bang~
The Moon God's true form floated out, her large red robes and long sleeves fluttering, her face pale and white.
Swish~
Several red silk threads shot out from the Moon God's sleeves, far more flexible and threatening than a spider's silk.
If these threads hit the ground, they could penetrate straight through; they were sharp and had great impact.
Chu Feng chose to keep dodging first, occasionally catching a long thread between two fingers of his right hand to test the strength of the Moon God's power.
At that moment, a line of text appeared before his eyes.
[Illusion Choice Re-opened]
[Option 1: Leave Xiao Wu isolated and helpless; Host survives.]
[Option 2: Let Xiao Wu possess the Host; Xiao Wu becomes a god, Host has a certain chance of sudden death.]
[Option 3: Leave Xiao Wu to her own devices; Host becomes a god.]
The system had used this thing on Chu Feng; he wasn't Xiao Wu, and he was certainly not indecisive.
It was just that this question was too boring, making Chu Feng seem like that dog Tang San; no matter what he chose, there seemed to be a problem.
So the compromise was Option 2, but Chu Feng prioritized profit; a compromise was impossible for him.
"Option 3!"
Chu Feng said with a smile. The next second, a brilliant golden light emerged from his forehead, mixed with a cloud of black mist.
This was the million-year Black Dragon God skull, refined through his refinement function.
The Moon God was greatly shocked; she only then realized that the illusory figures she had created were gone, all having been used as refinement materials by Chu Feng.
This was the consequence of being careless; Chu Feng had intentionally shown weakness to create numerous opportunities for himself.
If the Moon God could absorb Xiao Wu's divine force, then Chu Feng could refine the demonic energy here. Since they didn't interfere with each other, Chu Feng naturally went unnoticed.
At the same time, the system's Option 3 took effect. Xiao Wu's protective shield was activated, and her consciousness cleared slightly.
"Now it's Xiao Wu's turn to perform."
Chu Feng was composed; the current situation was unfolding exactly as he had anticipated.
Next, the Moon God targeted Xiao Wu, thinking that if she could completely control Xiao Wu, there might still be a chance of winning.
Xiao Wu immediately saw a cluster of silk threads shooting toward her. In her desperation, she used her Spirit Avatar to manifest seven versions of herself.
Then, all their eyes emitted an alluring pink light; this was the Charm skill.
For a moment, the Moon God found it difficult to distinguish between them. After all, she was within Xiao Wu's illusion, and no matter how strong her divine force was, it would be somewhat restricted.
Such a battle was actually more like a contest of mental force between the two.
But how Xiao Wu would deal with a god depended on her comprehension—whether she could develop the Daoist techniques she had realized in the Immortal Pool... Meanwhile, in the God Realm, the Mountain of Gods!
This was a forgotten ancient passage ruin between the Douluo Continent and the Douluo God Realm.
In the ancient era before God Position inheritances existed, gods descended to the lower realm through this place.
Several deities were gathered here now; they clearly had an objective and were all watching the Moon God inside the illusion.
The God of Earth chuckled and praised, "They're in trouble. It seems the Moon God is the capable one after all."
"Hmph, the Moon God is best at killing through dreams. The Sea God's worries were completely unnecessary, saying that if the Moon God failed, we would have to step in."
The Water God was a bit annoyed; it was clear he didn't really want to stay here.
Then the Light God added, "After all, the Great Wind God and the Rakshasa God are dead, so it's normal to have concerns. However, the God King used a large amount of divine force to allow them to descend. If the few of us break the seal of the Mountain of Gods, while it will be more convenient to descend in the future, the hidden dangers will also increase."
"What's there to fear? Even Qian Daoliu can't grasp the current situation on the continent. If we don't descend and look for opportunities now, the God Realm will be in peril in the future," the God of Earth said again.
Three of the Seven Elemental Gods had arrived. Their goal was to wait for the outcome of the Moon God's battle; if she won, all would be well, but if she lost, they would have to descend.
They were quite confident right now because the Moon God's situation seemed fine... But Chu Feng would never allow anyone on his investiture of the gods list to suffer any mishaps.
When he decided on Option 3, it meant he was certain he could prevent Xiao Wu from being left to her own devices.
"Spirit Sea?"
Suddenly, the pink aura all over Xiao Wu's body overflowed like the sea, and the power of a god began to bulge outward from her dantian in her chest.
This was the Spirit Sea, which cultivators typically used to store Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, but for Xiao Wu, it was used to store divine force.
Because during her interactions with Chu Feng, he had given her a lot of divine force. Since she hadn't become a god yet, she couldn't control it and could only hide it.
But now that the Spirit Sea was open, she could use this divine force without restraint.
Of course, this was mainly thanks to the Immortal Pool, which allowed Chu Feng to better share his own divine force with Xiao Wu in the most integrated way.
Furthermore, Xiao Wu had consistently made the right choices after entering the illusion, which fully demonstrated her comprehension.
This time, Xiao Wu could finally say in a firm tone, "I can finally become a god."
