By the time Yu Wuying was about to chase after Chi Jixing, the latter had disappeared entirely into the Sea of the Stars. She could only stare at the dazzling river solemnly.
Kong Hui and Jiang Taiyu came up and looked at the Sea of the Stars.
"There should be the others beside Chi Jixing. If their strength is roughly the same as his, I'm afraid we're in trouble now." Kong Hui said solemnly.
Compared to the other regions, the Eastern Divine Region was relatively weak. Once other Devil God Emperors like Chi Jixing came at the same time, the consequence would be unimaginable.
Jiang Taiyu looked at Kong Hui and asked. "Your injury hasn't recovered yet?"
Kong Hui nodded admittedly. "I have been in a slumber these years, but my injury hasn't improved much. The Primal Chaos power is no different from a curse."
During the Great War in the past, Kong Hui was severely injured by the Primordial God Tribe's people, and he tried to recover since then, but it was nowhere near a complete recovery.
Meanwhile, Jiang Taiyu was a lot better. He used the power of the Eternal River, the exclusive divine treasure of the Eternal River God Realm, to help in recovery. Moreover, his injury was much lighter than Kong Hui's. After spending tens of thousands of years inside the river, he had recovered at least eighty percent of his peak state.
Unfortunately, he still couldn't remove the residual Primal Chaos power inside his body.
"Only if Master is here. He must have a way to deal with it." Kong Hui sighed softly.
Jiang Taiyu went silent. Their master, the Beyond Heaven King, was no longer here, and whether his successor could succeed his power completely was still in doubt. He didn't know what he should do in the future.
Kong Hui turned to Yu Wuying and asked. "Should we notify others, Sister Yu?"
"Strange…" Yu Wuying suddenly said. Her eyes fixated on the Sea of the Stars while furrowing her brows.
Kong Hui and Jiang Taiyu were puzzled and observed the Sea of the Stars attentively.
"Wait. Where did the spatial storm go to?" Kong Hui suddenly realized something. Usually, the Sea of the Stars would appear with a powerful spatial storm, but he didn't see any of it here after the initial appearance.
"It's constantly expanding." Yu Wuying said. "It's likely to stay here permanently."
The expressions of Kong Hui and Jiang Taiyu changed drastically. They also saw the border of the Sea of the Stars was gradually expanding, devouring the scattering meteorites nearby bit by bit. If the Sea of the Stars kept expanding, it would inevitably pull all the stars in the Eastern Divine Region into it.
"What did Master say about it again?" Kong Hui frowned slightly. "He told us to stay away from it, right?"
"Master said we wouldn't survive once we go in. There were countless dangers inside." Jiang Taiyu recalled the Beyond Heaven King's words. "I had asked him about it privately, but his answer was vague. It was like he didn't want to tell us about it."
Kong Hui frowned deeply. "Let's find a way to stop it first. Otherwise, we won't have a place to stay."
As he spoke, he brought the golden bell, Shrouding Sky Bell, out and prepared to set up a restriction.
However, Yu Wuying suddenly stopped him. "No need to do it."
Kong Hui and Jiang Taiyu looked at her in puzzlement.
Yu Wuying didn't offer any explanation, but there was a strange light flashing across her eyes as if she had thought of something.
Kong Hui and Jiang Taiyu could only look at each other in confusion upon seeing this…

"So beautiful here." Yun Lintian looked at the sparkling curtain of moonlight above his head in amazement. He was currently walking on a bustling street inside the Divine Moon City.
After leaving the Mystic God Realm, Yun Lintian decided to follow Yue Chuntao back to the Moon God Realm as he needed a safe place to stay while waiting for the Sea of the Stars to appear.
At the same time, he wanted to talk with Yue Hua about past and future events.
The Moon God Realm had been closing its boundary since Hongyue, the Red Moon God Emperor, was "killed" in the previous Great War, and people who wanted to leave and enter must go through a strict checking process.
However, instead of more people leaving, most natives and foreigners chose to stay here because of its absolute safety. Even though they couldn't make a realm-crossing trade, they could live peacefully here at the very least.
"Wait until you see my place at the top of the Divine Moon Peak." Yue Chuntao curled her lips while her eyes kept looking for food on both sides of the street.
Yun Lintian nodded and asked. "By the way, how many men are there in your clan?"
"Not many." Yue Chuntao responded casually.
"Then how did you recruit people?" Yun Lintian asked curiously.
"Normally, we recruit anyone who could receive the moon's power. But as you know, the moon represents Yin energy. That's why most of our top practitioners are women." Yue Chuntao explained. "As for men like Yue Qi. They have something special, like a unique profound vein or physique."
"So, there's no married couple?" Yun Lintian asked further.
"There are some. But we don't choose people according to bloodline. Even if one day we have kids, they won't necessarily be the next Moon God Emperor." Yue Chuntao replied.
Yun Lintian was speechless during the latter part. This girl probably wasn't serious about it, right?
Yun Lintian hesitated briefly and decided to ask. "Then, how did you born?"
Hearing this question, a touch of sadness appeared on Yue Chuntao's face as she answered. "No idea. Grandma said I was born from the moon's power."
"Sorry." Yun Lintian quickly apologized.
Yue Chuntao waved her hand and said. "It's nothing. I'm not sad because of having no parents, but rather wondering about it. Look. I have flesh and blood. How could I be born from the moon's power?"
"It's true." Yun Lintian nodded. "Speaking of this, I have no idea about how I was born as well. When I knew it again, I had already been in the Misty Cloud Sect."
Yun Lintian never bothered about this mystery before, but as he grew in power, he started to doubt it again. Who were his parents in this life? Where were they? And who was the mysterious woman that brought him to the Misty Cloud Sect?
