At that, Li Mu put on a serious face and asked, "The same place?"
Yu Hualong did not keep him guessing. He came straight to the point and said, "Earth."
Li Mu fell silent at once.
He was thinking about how credible Yu Hualong's words were.
"Brother Guo Yuqing once told me that the Great Moon Empire was a dynasty built by the Extra-terrestrial Demons. It set off endless bloodshed on the Divine Land. In the end, the creatures on the Divine Land could not bear it, so they united and overthrew the evil dynasty after an arduous war and established the current power structure on the Divine Land."
From the point of view of the creatures on the Divine Land, Earthlings came from outer space, so they were indeed Extra-terrestrial Devils.
That was right.
But was it a joke?
A thousand years ago, there were Earthlings who could cross the Milky Way and come to this planet, establishing a powerful empire that ruled the continent … This was not Columbus discovering a new continent, nor was it something that could be accomplished by building a few large ships with sufficient supplies and relying on the waves without the use of oars. This was an expedition to the Milky Way. How could it be so simple?

Li Mu was skeptical.
"No."
He realized another problem.
A thousand years ago was the time when the Great Moon Empire was destroyed.
According to historical records, the Great Moon Empire ruled the continent for a thousand years, which meant it was founded more than two thousand years ago.
So, according to Yu Hualong, more than two thousand years ago, some Earthlings crossed the universe, came to this planet, and established the Great Moon Empire … Well, what dynasty was China in two thousand years ago? "It seems so …" Li Mu rubbed his temples and thought for a moment. "It should be the Han Dynasty, which was the new dynasty when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, there were no cars, let alone spaceships."
Li Mu did not think there was anything wrong with his knowledge of history and mathematical calculations. "That's right."
So, he asked, "Can you tell me who the founder of the Great Moon Empire was?"
"People from more than two thousand years ago must have a name, right?"
Yu Hualong said, "The founders of the dynasty have all left for outer space to seek for redemption. Besides, the Great Moon Empire was not founded by one person. Instead, it's the result of dozens of predecessors' painstaking efforts."
"Bullsh * t!"
Li Mu said, "I've already graduated from junior high school. Don't think you can fool me with some random lies."
If it wasn't one person, then it was a group of people?
I'm such a rational person. How could I believe your nonsense?
However, out of respect for Yu Hualong, an "artist" who was fully immersed in his performance, Li Mu listened to him patiently.
Yu Hualong sighed with emotion. "More than two thousand years ago, when the sages came to this world, the creatures on the land were still living like savages. There was no civilization at all. It was those sages who brought civilization to this ignorant world, ignited the fire of civilization, enlightened the people, created the written language, developed agriculture, animal husbandry, and commerce, opened up wastelands, and slaughtered the wild beasts and demons. That's how the central and prosperous land on the Divine Land came into being. In the end, the Great Moon Empire was founded …" At that point, Yu Hualong sighed, turned to Li Mu, and said, "Do you know why the empire is called the Great Moon Empire?"
Li Mu was engrossed in the story. When he heard the question, he shook his head.
"In the ancient times of China on Earth, people used the moon as a metaphor for their hometown. When they looked at the moon, they would be homesick. The sages left Earth to wander in the universe because they had no other choice. No one liked to wander. They left to protect Earth, hoping to find a way to redeem themselves. Every time they saw the moon in the sky, they could not help but think of their hometown. Therefore, they named their dynasty after the moon and called it the Great Moon Dynasty to express their homesickness," Yu Hualong said sadly.
Li Mu had to admit that the story was really touching.
Yu Hualong seemed to be a little sentimental. He picked up a cup of wine, drank it up, and recited slowly, "The moonlight in front of the window is like frost on the ground. I look up at the bright moon and lower my head to think of my hometown … It's been a long time since I saw the moon in my hometown."
Li Mu was amused.
Please Bean Sack.
The fox's tail was showing.
"This poem is not from 2,000 years ago," Li Mu said.
Li Bai, the Immortal Poet, was born in the Tang Dynasty about 1,200 years ago. But according to Yu Hualong, the sages of the Great Moon Dynasty came to this planet more than 2,000 years ago. Therefore, those so-called sages absolutely could not have known the poet's poem more than 800 years after they left Earth. That was a logical contradiction.
Yu Hualong smiled and said, "Of course. This is a masterpiece of Li Bai, the Immortal Poet of the Tang Dynasty more than 200 years ago. Speaking of which, Lord Li has also plagiarized several of Li Bai's poems. So, I'm very curious. Which era on Earth did Lord Li come from?"
Li Mu was displeased.
"How can it be called plagiarism when I'm a scholar?"
"I'm spreading the works of the great poet Li Bai!"
Of course, he did not dare to say such shameless words aloud.
Instead of answering Yu Hualong's question, Li Mu asked, "You haven't told me why you know Li Bai's poems."
The crown prince of the Great Moon Dynasty was the descendant of those sages. Everything he knew about Earth should be the information left by those sages from Earth more than 2,000 years ago. Logically speaking, Yu Hualong should not have known Li Bai's poems. The timing did not match. That was the flaw in the logic.
Yu Hualong smiled and said, "It's simple. Because Li Bai and I lived in the same era."
Li Mu: "???"
"What does that mean?"
"The same era?"
"The Tang Dynasty?"
Li Mu was a little dumbfounded.
Yu Hualong laughed complacently and said, "You don't think only the sages from 2,000 years ago discovered the crisis on Earth, do you? In the long history of the world, there has never been a shortage of great talents and sages. And before the Spiritual Qi on Earth dried up, the real powerful people could follow the Star Path opened by the sages more than 2,000 years ago and walk out of the Star Graveyard. In the Tang Dynasty, the Spiritual Qi on Earth was not completely exhausted. So, some people could still walk out of the Star Graveyard. "
Li Mu opened his mouth.
He understood what Yu Hualong meant.
"You're from the Tang Dynasty? You walked out of Earth and came here in the Tang Dynasty? " Li Mu stared at the crown prince of the Great Moon Dynasty and said incredulously, "Bro, I don't mean to criticize you, but it sounds a little nonsensical … You mean you're more than 1,300 years old now?"
A Semi-Sage could not live more than 1,000 years.
Only a real sage could live more than 1,000 years.
Yu Hualong was a Semi-Sage. It was impossible for him to live from the Tang Dynasty to the present.
Yu Hualong said, "It's true that I'm from the Tang Dynasty. But I'm only 30 years old this year."
Li Mu stared at him, wearing a look that said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'm really going to beat you up." What really annoyed him was that his train of thought had been led astray by Yu Hualong. If this guy went to write a novel, he would definitely be famous. But his train of thought was also jumpy. "I was just an ordinary person back then.
I was lucky enough to follow my teacher and set foot on the Path of Immortality. We left Earth. At that time, I was less than 20 years old. My cultivation was shallow. When I came to the Great Moon Dynasty, I encountered a strong enemy. At the critical moment, my teacher sealed me in the Moon Altar with a secret skill and fought the enemy alone. When I woke up again, the world had changed. The Great Moon Dynasty had become a speck of dust in the history. And my teacher was nowhere to be found. In the past dozen years, I've been searching for information and clues. Then, I got some inspiration. With the resources left by the sages and teachers, I've been practicing hard. Now, I've finally reached the Semi-Sage Realm. " Yu Hualong said, "After I was sealed in the Moon Altar, my vitality stagnated, as if time had stopped flowing. So, although I came to the Great Moon Dynasty from the Tang Dynasty, I'm actually just 30 years old this year."
After hearing that, Li Mu felt that there was nothing wrong with that explanation.
He really managed to cover it up.
But …
Another thing occurred to Li Mu. He said, "If what you said is true, you shouldn't know Jinzha, Muzha, or Nezha. The Legend of Deification was written by Xu Zhonglin in the middle and late Ming Dynasty."
"The Legend of Deification? Xu Zhonglin? The Ming Dynasty? "Yu Hualong was taken aback. Then, he said," Is it the era after the Tang Dynasty? In that case, the Tang Dynasty is still … Are you from the Ming Dynasty? "
Li Mu took a look and found that Yu Hualong's expression was not fake.
He did not know the Ming Dynasty, nor did he know about the Legend of Deification. So, how did he know Li Jing, Jinzha, Muzha, or Nezha?
But Yu Hualong continued, "Did some of the later generations write books about the events in the Celestial Devil Age?"
At that, Li Mu recalled what he had seen in the Everlasting Heaven that seemed to be the Taoist field of Master Puti. All of a sudden, a light bulb went off in his head.
It suddenly dawned on him. "Could it be that the stories in the Journey to the West and the Legend of Deification, which are regarded as fictitious by the later generations, are all true?"
"If that's the case, then Li Jing and his family, as well as all the people in the Legend of Deification, are real?" "But because of the long time, the memory is blurred, and the Spiritual Qi is exhausted, the later generations gradually can't practice the supernatural power, so they can't inherit the power of the people at that time. Gradually, they regard those stories as myths and legends." "So, people in the Tang Dynasty, like Yu Hualong, know the events in the late Shang Dynasty and the early Zhou Dynasty without reading the Legend of Deification. So, it makes sense that he knows those people who really existed, right?"
Li Mu felt a little dizzy.
He had to sort out his thoughts.
"I'm really fooled by Yu Hualong."
