Rumble!
When Li Jingshu closed the Celestial Eye in her palm once more.
You Ying and Candlelight had already been reduced to nothing but dust and smoke in a physical sense.
The power of this Celestial Eye was far more exaggerated than Li Jingshu had imagined.
In comparison, Lord Tingyao’s giant arrow, Li Xudou’s Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace, and even the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow shot by Chang’e could only be considered side pieces.
"So, is it all over?"
Carefully hiding behind Li Jingshu, Lady Zhui peeked out and asked.
"Theoretically, it should be over?"
Similarly frowning and gazing at the gigantic crater, Lord Tingyao instinctively took out the Compass and began to calculate.
Unfortunately, before Lord Tingyao could come up with a result, Chang’e suddenly revealed a look of shock at the front, simultaneously grabbing the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow and Li Xudou, retreating rapidly.
"Be careful! My Father God is coming!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jingshu decisively pulled Lady Zhui and turned to run.
"Hey! Don’t run so fast, wait for me!"
Seeing this, Lord Tingyao couldn’t be bothered with divination and hastily ran after them.
Although he didn’t know why the current situation was different from what Heng’e had mentioned.
Clearly, this was not the best time to delve into such matters.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the surging heat expanded outward.
The originally extremely yin and cold Taiyin Star seemed to transform into a Baking Furnace, gradually evolving towards a trend of becoming the Taiyang.
——A star occupying a third of the sky transformed into the Taiyang in a short period.
Whether Chang’e and the others could survive was unknown, but the creatures on earth would surely perish.
And so, at the most critical moment, a golden ring as massive as a star ring appeared out of nowhere at the very edge of the Taiyin Star.
It was the Qiankun Ring, and it was an unprecedentedly huge one.
With the appearance of the Qiankun Ring, a tremendous force was pushing the moon into the Qiankun Ring.
"He finally made a move!"
Seeing the moon about to be pushed into the Qiankun Ring.
Lord Tingyao unconsciously let out a sigh of relief, even his fleeing steps slowed considerably.
Because he knew that as long as Li Boyang had taken action, what could even the personal arrival of Celestial Emperor Hao do?
The reality was indeed as Lord Tingyao had imagined.
As the moon was gradually pushed into the Qiankun Ring — back to its original place.
The surging heat seemed to be restrained, unable to expand wantonly, tightly confined near the charred laurel tree.
——Full moon star ring, dominating the stars!
——When the moon waxes, it wanes, when it wanes, it waxes!
"The ’Moon Emperor’ is finally about to be born!"
Looking up at the sky, the Dragon Turtle’s eyes were filled with a sense of nostalgia and joy.
Because in the future where the Dragon Turtle resided, the Taiyin Star was the mother of the stars far from the earth, a sacred star bestowing mercy upon all beings and creatures.
Whether it was the moon currently occupying a third of the starry sky or the increasingly frequent agitation of the Moonlight Essence Qi before, they were not normal phenomena.
"Moon Emperor?"
"Is that the name of the new Moon God?"
Having heard the Dragon Turtle’s words, Shangyang couldn’t help but ask curiously in response.
"No, ’Moon Emperor’ is a rule, it’s a rule that governs the moon, and it also refers to the Taiyin Star Monarchs who rule the Taiyin Star."
Seeing the somewhat confused Shangyang, the Dragon Turtle further explained.
"In our time, the oldest Moon God, Chang Xi, had divided her authority into fifteen parts, thereby giving birth to fifteen Taiyin Star Monarchs."
"Some were strong enough to compete with Pathfinders, while the weaker ones were merely in the Immortal Realm,"
"But regardless of their personal strength, their authority over the Taiyin Star was the same."
"So, to better manage the operation of the Taiyin Star, a rule called ’Moon Emperor’ was born."
"Since then, the fifteen Taiyin Star Monarchs have taken turns presiding over the operation of the Taiyin Star..."
"From the first to the fifteenth day, from the new moon to the full moon, the change of the moon has existed perpetually, whether ancient or present."
"Once all fifteen Taiyin Star Monarchs, in due time, return to their positions, the sixty-year cycle of the ’Moon Emperor’ rotation will become a day eagerly awaited by all beings."
Taking a deep breath, the Dragon Turtle’s eyes became increasingly filled with nostalgia.
"Because on that day, Emperor’s Liquid would descend upon the earth, bestowing grace upon all things and enlightening countless creatures with wisdom, sparing them a millennium of ordinary cultivation."
"If I remember correctly, the first ’Moon Emperor’ born was named ’Wang Shu’!"
"She is the incarnation of the darkest moon, the embodiment of the lunar eclipse, and also the most violent and cruel Moon God among the fifteen Taiyin Star Monarchs."
"In some timelines, she even transformed into a Moon Demon under the influence of Old Zhuang!"
...........................
After restraining the power of the Celestial Emperor, the process of returning the Taiyin Star to its original position went smoothly.
At least, from the perspective of those on the Taiyin Star, they just felt a flash before their eyes, and the earth suddenly became small to them.
Passing through the Qiankun Ring, returning to the midst of the stars.
From this position, looking down on the earth was like the earth looking up at the moon.
Just when everyone, Chang’e included, thought everything had ended.
A brilliant rift, like a starry sky, reappeared, tearing through the darkness above the Taiyin Star.
Soon after, a toad carrying seven copper coins leaped out from the other end of the rift, plummeting straight down like a cannonball towards the laurel tree’s position.
Boom!
In an instant, the previously peaceful Taiyin Star was engulfed in warfare once more.
A roar filled with suppression and anger echoed instantly, spreading across the Taiyin Star in the shortest time.
"I am your father, patricide is an unforgivable sin..."
"Do you have the confidence to bear this sin?"
Suddenly rising, the Three-legged Golden Toad transformed into a beautiful woman.
At the same time, the seven copper coins on her back transformed into the Seven-Star Treasure Sword, her face full of coldness and killing intent.
"Sin?"
"I have never regarded you as a father, so how can there be talk of sin?"
"You can establish the norm, enforce the rules of heaven and earth with your will, but that is confined to your era alone."
"In this era, the Tao Ancestor is the undisputed ’protagonist’..."
Slashing out with the Seven-Star Treasure Sword, a brilliant, starry-like rift in space appeared again.
The destructive qi from the Beidou Seven Stars streaked across the sky, making the entire starry sky shine brighter.
"From today on, I shall be called Wang Shu, no longer your incarnation."
In some sense, Heng’e’s plan was not incorrect.
As long as they killed the manifestation of the Celestial Emperor through the Taiyin Star, He would be unable to descend into this world from the river of time.
However, she hadn’t anticipated that the Celestial Emperor’s manifestation in Taiyin wasn’t just You Ying, but also a Three-legged Golden Toad that had been previously captured by Li Boyang in the Cloud Dream Jade Pool Mirror.
Compared to You Ying, born from the laurel tree.
The Three-legged Golden Toad inherited more of the fierce qi from the Taiyin Star itself.
If it weren’t for Li Boyang’s intervention, the Celestial Emperor would have preferred to descend through the Three-legged Golden Toad.
Because the moon has fifteen phases, the Three-legged Golden Toad is the most ferocious of them, the "lunar eclipse phase," the moon phase that fits the Celestial Emperor the best.
Of course, when this manifestation chose to rebel, it was also when the Celestial Emperor had his greatest headache.
Her troublesome nature was undoubtedly no less than that of his eldest daughter, Heng’e, who had been disrupting his plans and preventing him from attaining the Tao countless times.
