Chapter 1126 Stop changing the topic

Lex and Moon sat together on the roof of her white palace, looking up at the World Eater, pulling their planet forward like a horse pulling forward a chariot. Even pulling the planet behind it, the World Eater moved at unbelievable speeds.

They were already far away from the Jorlam so that they were no longer visible. It had also replaced the space bubble Lex put around the planet with a forcefield of its own. This way, the planet and its residents were not affected by the speed at which they were moving, and the planet continued to remain safe.

A majority of the residents of the planet were not in good shape, though that was predictable. It's not everyday that their planet is kidnapped and then dragged through space. But the emergency response forces on this planet were truly well trained, and were preventing the situation from deteriorating too quickly.

Lex would get around to helping them, but first he was focused on his sister. She was very hesitant about recalling the past, but ultimately realized that it could not be avoided. But even then, she had not spoken yet. So the two of them just sat together in silence, and allowed their thoughts to wander.

"You look sad," Moon said, as she poked Lex once more in the cheek.

"A little, but you wouldn't understand why," Lex said.

"Try me. You know, I'm not exactly a little girl anymore."

Lex smiled weakly.

"How do I explain this? Well, I've been gone from the Origin realm for a while. For my return, I'd planned this huge event that would make me famous overnight. Not that I was planning on becoming famous. I just had to plan this major event that would have shocked a lot of people. But now... after all that planning... I think the impact of kidnapping a planet and... acquiring a World Eater will end up beating anything I had planned. Just feels like I wasted a lot of time."

Moon giggled. He was upset because he accidentally became more famous than he could have on purpose. These are the kinds of problems she also wished she had. But maybe, these were not the only problems he had - just the ones he was sharing.

It was a little strange. Meeting after all these years, they should have felt awkward or distant. But instead, they immediately returned to how they were with one another when they were kids. Considering the age gap between Moon and Lex, they shouldn't really have been friends growing up. Yet they were.

"Now it's your turn," he said, looking at little Moon. Technically speaking, Moon had not been her original name. But as a little girl she had been particularly enamored by the moon, buying every toy, poster and piece of merchandise she could find. One time she got the moon painted on her face during some kids birthday party, and since then everyone had started calling her little Moon. The name had stuck.

Thinking back to those times, Lex felt a little sad. Life was so

different back then. How had they gone from that to this.

Moon looked at him with hesitation, but Lex met her gaze.

Eventually, she sighed.

"I... actually I shouldn't be the one telling you this, but I

suppose at the same time, it fits that I am the one to tell you."

Moon sighed, and lifted her frail arm to grab the cup Lex had

given her. It contained some liquid Lex gave her which was

supposed to strengthen her. She had been drinking such stuff

plague came and they needed her help.

"That's when dad and mom met, and apparently dad really

liked her fighting spirit, so he taught her a form of body

cultivation. But mom had an inquisitive mind, so while she

cultivated, she also studied cultivation, and how and why it

affected the body. At least, that's what Belle told me. I'm

pretty sure there's more to it, because apparently over the

years mom became so knowledgeable about cultivation that

she convinced dad that he had cultivated incorrectly. He

restarted his cultivation from scratch under her supervision.

That's when the problems began."

Moon scratched her face and looked at Lex. Even now she was

postponing, but with how unreactive Lex was being, she had

no option but to continue explaining.

"Apparently, mom learned a lot about unique physiques as

well, and thought of a way she could nurture them. When

Belle was born, mom was able to prove her theory correct.

Belle was born with a strange physique that was especially

compatible with divine energy, which is what angels use. So

dad got her some angel blood, hoping she could absorb some

energy from it. Instead, she gained a bloodline that mimicked

an Angel's powers. That attracted grandfather's attention."
