“Is this also a holy seal?” Mo Yi exclaimed in surprise.
“Brother, you know about holy seals?” Mo Pei’er couldn’t recall ever mentioning her brother’s necklace’s unique feature.
Of course, Mo Pei’er didn’t intentionally conceal anything; she had wanted to discuss family matters with Mo Yi in detail, but she hadn’t had the opportunity. Who knew how many calls she had made or messages she had sent.
Seeing Mo Yi not responding, Mo Pei’er continued, “Although it looks similar, it’s not a holy seal; it’s just an ordinary tattoo. For years, numerous organizations have been trying to locate the underground palace and obtain the power of the ancient god, Hastur. This tattoo is the mark of a member of one of those organizations.”
Mo Pei’er’s words reminded Mo Yi of the group of people from his previous memories who had taken him to the underground palace.
Now, Mo Yi had almost figured it out; the Mo family were the guardians of his partner’s underground palace, and Mo Pei’er’s family were the descendants of Mo Shao, whom he had encountered before.
Perhaps, he could obtain some information he wanted from them.
“By the way, do you have any family records or notes that I can see? And about my protective charm, is there only one?” Mo Yi asked.
“Speaking of which, we do have a book!” Mo Pei’er said, taking out a small booklet from her bag and handing it to Mo Yi. Then, as if performing magic, she pulled out an identical round pendant and handed it to him as well.
“As for this protective charm, it’s particularly strange. In our family, everyone has only one. But yours, brother, has two, and the patterns are different from ours. One has been kept by our grandfather, and before I came here this time, he asked me to bring both of them to you, saying you would need them when the time came.”
Mo Pei’er spoke solemnly to Mo Yi, indicating that both the book and the pendant held special significance.
She had originally intended to wait a while before bringing them out, but when she saw Mo Yi’s skills just now and sensed that something was off about him, Mo Pei’er had a premonition that something had happened to Mo Yi and he needed their help.
“Thank you!”
Mo Yi sincerely thanked her. Being able to get another holy seal was truly a pleasant surprise.
He couldn’t wait to leave and see what information the book contained. He pointed to the group of people on the ground and said to Mo Pei’er, “I’ll leave them to you.” Then, he tucked away the book and pendant and was about to leave when Mo Pei’er grabbed his arm.
“Brother, there’s something important I must tell you. Our entire family is the guardian of the underground palace. Although we are guardians, the deity we guard is very special. How should I put it… Although our family owes its current existence to the protection of that deity, it’s not a deity representing light and justice.
If he were to awaken, it could lead to a catastrophe. So, we not only need to guard but also ensure that the deity remains asleep.
Brother, if you encounter anything, you must tell me, okay?”
Mo Yi pursed his lips upon hearing this and didn’t promise Mo Pei’er anything. He just said he understood and hurriedly left.
Mo Pei’er wanted to call him back, but Mo Yi had already disappeared.
Looking at the bodies lying on the ground, she could only sigh and rub her sore shoulders. Seeing how her brother was, maybe she should wait until next time to bring it up again.

Moreover, it was almost time to finish work, so he could wait a bit longer.
Mo Pei’er’s words from earlier lingered in Mo Yi’s mind. He said his partner’s awakening would bring catastrophe and that he should ensure his partner remained asleep.
What did that mean?
What happened during the time he was away?
Countless questions swirled in Mo Yi’s mind, and perhaps, the answers lay within that book.
But regardless of the role his partner played, Mo Yi would unconditionally stand by his side. He would protect him, even if it meant sacrificing his own life!
With these thoughts weighing heavily on his mind, Mo Yi returned to the office. As soon as he entered, he saw his partner staring at him with a puzzled expression.
Mo Yi touched his cheek, wondering if there was something wrong with his appearance, but he was naturally pulled into his partner’s arms.
After lightly kissing Mo Yi’s lips, Bai Ren rested his head on Mo Yi’s shoulder and whispered softly, “Didn’t you say you were going to buy bubble tea? Why did you come back empty-handed? Did something happen?”
Mo Yi had forgotten about that!
“I’ll order it on my phone now. I encountered something as soon as I left, and then I forgot.”
Mo Yi scratched his head awkwardly and quickly ordered the bubble tea on his phone. He had promised the employees and couldn’t go back on his word.
Hearing Mo Yi’s response and seeing him focused on ordering the bubble tea, seemingly unwilling to discuss anything further, Bai Ren’s gaze darkened.
Ever since he discovered his beloved had time-traveled again, Bai Ren had been prepared. He intensified his training, so that when Mo Yi wasn’t by his side, he could sense anything that happened to him immediately.
So, when Mo Yi was attacked just now, Bai Ren’s consciousness reached the alley. However, before he could act, a woman had already rushed over and fought alongside Mo Yi.
He even heard the woman call Mo Yi “brother.”
He carefully sensed that she possessed a trace of the divine power he had bestowed upon Mo Shao, allowing him to pass it down through generations to his family.
So, the woman should be one of the guardians of his underground palace. Thinking back to his almost madness before, he could understand why Mo Pei’er said his awakening might bring catastrophe.
But they were all mistaken. As long as Mo Yi was by his side, he would never destroy this world. He would even protect everything for Mo Yi’s sake.
However, the fact that she called Mo Yi “brother”… Could it be that Mo Yi was a descendant of Mo Shao?
This is really getting complicated. Bai Ren didn’t dwell on it too much, and he didn’t care about Mo Yi’s true identity. Knowing this only helped him confirm that the Mo Yi he knew from the past was indeed a time traveler.
However, he couldn’t help but wonder why Mo Yi didn’t tell him about the danger he encountered and instead brushed it off as a minor issue. Could it be that Mo Yi still didn’t fully trust him?
As the darkness in his heart grew, Bai Ren hoped it wasn’t true. Otherwise, even if he had to forcibly restrain him, he would never let Mo Yi leave him again!
Mo Yi was unaware of Bai Ren’s thoughts. He had tried many times before to bring up the topic of time travel or the pendant, but it seemed like his ability to discuss it was somehow blocked.
Although Mo Yi wanted to ask Bai Ren directly, he estimated that it would likely lead to the same result.
So, he decided to read the contents of the book first.
For the first time, he anxiously waited for the end of the workday and returned home. Even when Bai Ren came over to be affectionate with him, he couldn’t focus properly.
Seeing Mo Yi like this only worsened Bai Ren’s mood. He actually saw Mo Yi take something from Mo Pei’er, but perhaps Mo Yi didn’t feel comfortable examining it in front of him. If that was the case…
Bai Ren made up an excuse to prepare dinner and left Mo Yi alone. Mo Yi went to the bedroom and took out the book and the pendant.
Upon closer inspection, the pendant looked exactly like his previous one, or rather, like Gregory’s.
But for now, the pendant wasn’t the focus; the book was.
The book was small and lightweight, easy to carry around, much like a pocket-sized guidebook.
Opening it, Mo Yi found the text densely packed, like tiny green beans. Thankfully, his vision was good, so reading it wasn’t difficult.
The content of the book started from Mo Shao’s expedition to Europe and the subsequent revival of the entire family. Mo Yi skimmed over the less important parts and went straight to the section related to Bai Ren, or rather, the records of Hastur in the book.
As Mo Yi continued reading, his expression became increasingly solemn. By the end, tears were streaming down his cheeks uncontrollably, moistening the pages he was reading.
“Bai Ren!”
Mo Yi clenched his fists tightly. He saw the suffering his partner endured after he left. Another awakened deity appeared and began leading the people. Everyone believed in him, while Hastur was cast into the ranks of evil gods, scorned by people. He was even imprisoned and harmed by that deity.
How could it be? How could his partner, so powerful, be defeated by other deities?
What Mo Yi couldn’t accept even more was that the outcome of this battle was blurred. It only described how his partner almost exhausted all his divine power, turning the tide of the battle but also becoming extremely weak in the process.
Meanwhile, Hastur’s partner abandoned him at this critical moment, disappearing without a trace.
Hastur, already at his wits’ end due to the loss of his beloved, even contemplated taking the entire world down with him. Eventually, for some unknown reason, he entered a slumber in the underground palace.
Therefore, it was written in the aftermath that if this deity were to awaken, he might continue his previous intentions, which were to destroy the world along with himself.
The content related to Hastur in the book ended here. What followed was the later development of the Mo family, but Mo Yi no longer had the mood to continue reading.
It was obvious who the partner who abandoned Hastur was.
“It’s impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
Mo Yi shook his head, tears blurring his vision.
He had suspected that his partner might encounter danger when he left, but he never imagined it could be such a deadly crisis.
Who was this awakened deity? What was the connection with that peculiar Gregory?
But that wasn’t the most important thing. What mattered was how he could abandon his partner and leave him alone!
Five hundred years of despairing wait. Just the thought of it made Mo Yi feel unbearable.
He knew himself well. If it was really him, even if it meant risking his life, he would definitely return to Bai Ren’s side.
No matter the past or the present, he couldn’t bear to see his partner harmed, let alone endure such a long period of loneliness alone.
“I can’t, I have to go back!”
Mo Yi hurriedly grasped the pendant Mo Pei’er had given him. He had to go back, he had to return to the past, to help Bai Ren, to protect him!
He wouldn’t leave him to suffer alone. Even if everyone thought he was evil, he would stand by his side unconditionally.
But just as Mo Yi was about to prick his finger and apply the blood to the pendant, his wrist was suddenly caught.
Bai Ren had unexpectedly arrived by his side like a gust of wind, holding down his hands and stopping his movement.
Looking up into the man’s cloudy eyes, Mo Yi’s heart trembled.
Then, he heard the man’s voice, cold as ice, saying, “Where do you think you’re going?”
Ahhhh the misunderstandings will be my downfall oh my god.
Thank you so much for the chapter!!!
This all wouldn’t have happened if that ABSOLUTELY DELUSIONAL Gregory didn’t show up smh
Thank you for the chapter! it’s so distressing…
I wonder if he will really be able to go back in time again🤔
Thank you for the update!!~
A wild blackened BR appears!
