Chapter 122

Yin Star

Older sister, the celestial canopy between the starry sky and the primordial earth has grown thinner; now we can actually see most of Mount Buzhou from within the Yin Star.

Even though the distance is so far, I still feel His divine might; this power is simply unheard of!

Changxi was somewhat amazed; looking at the primordial earth from the Yin Star's perspective, her gaze was always drawn to Mount Buzhou, and no matter how many times she looked, she still felt shocked by it.

Xihe was the same; the starry sky was too distant from the earth, so distant that even Cloud Dream Marsh and the Four Seas were insignificant in their eyes.

Under the majesty of Mount Buzhou, countless mountains and rivers paled in comparison; even Kunlun Mountain, the ancestral vein of the Eastern Earth, was an unattainable existence for them.

Seeing Xihe not respond, Changyi didn't stop speaking; instead, she flew straight to Xihe's face and said:

"Older sister, let's go together to explore Mount Buzhou; it's the first divine mountain of the primordial world, a mountain formed from Pangu the Great God!"

Xihe had a headache, yet felt helpless toward her longtime younger sister, and involuntarily raised a hand to her forehead, saying:

"You've said it tens of thousands of times, Changyi; my answer remains the same as always—no."

"The heavens and earth operate by their own principles; as the God of the Yin Star, you are responsible for regulating the yin and yang of the world and commanding the operation of primordial yin energy—such a great duty cannot be neglected."

Xihe felt helpless; she was not originally the Star God of the Yin Star, but while pregnant, someone brought her here. She didn't know who that person was, but instinctively felt they would not harm her.

She still remembered that person telling her that on the Yin Star there was what she needed, and that her Dao could only reach perfection on the Yin Star, saying she could not compete with the other two.

Although she didn't know why that person said that, her instinct made her believe their words without reason, and since her birth she has never left the Yin Star.

On the Yin Star, her Yin-Yang Dao progressed rapidly, encountering no obstacles.

Later, after Changxi was born, the two of them have been together ever since.

Now she no longer remembers that person's voice, but the gentle feeling remains unforgotten.

"Older sister, let's go together; even though there is no Star God on the Yang Star, hasn't it been operating normally for countless aeons?"

"What I say is, the heavens and earth follow their own principles; why would anyone need to constantly watch over them?"

"Moreover, just like on the Yang Star, the Yin Star also has osmanthus trees, which help balance yin/yang together with the Supporting Mulberry Tree."

"After all, there's no reason the Yang Star should function normally while the Yin Star cannot."

Seeing Changyi's current appearance, Xihe couldn't help but recall when Changyi was just born—she was quiet and serene, aloof like frost and snow.

Back then she thought being too cold and aloof was bad, but who would have thought that Changyi would become like this now; at this moment Xihe deeply misses Changyi's former cool and aloof demeanor.

"Sophistry."

Xihe rebuked.

Unfortunately, Changxi didn't take it to heart; she had long grown accustomed to her older sister's manner, and there would be no punishment, so she naturally didn't take it seriously.

"Older sister, please explain why we've stayed on the Yang Star for nearly four aeons yet no Star God has appeared."

Xihe was momentarily at a loss for words; indeed, she and Changyi had originally planned to visit the Yang Star to pay respects to the God of the Yang Star, but they never got the chance.

They went several more times afterward, but still received no response.

On their final attempt, Changyi actually stormed into the Yang Star, and Xihe, helpless, could only accompany her.

Although they found a palace, there were no signs of activity; they waited there for four aeons, yet no one ever came.

They could only return to the Yin Star, often monitoring changes on the Yang Star, but they never saw anyone heading there.

"Perhaps the Yang Star's Star God is simply out, and we just happened to miss them."

She forced herself to say this, yet Xihe also felt somewhat speechless toward the God of the Yang Star; the Yang Star, such a crucial position in the cosmos, has long lacked its Star God residing there.

She doesn't believe the Yang Star lacks a Star God; in fact, she herself could be considered a Star God of the Yang Star.

If the Yang Star's Star God doesn't exist, then why would that person earlier have said they couldn't compete with them?

Moreover, she faintly sensed that she and Changyi would eventually meet those two Star Gods, and their interaction would be profound.

But she couldn't use these words to convince Changyi, after all, her own perception was merely vague.

"Alright, alright, alright, since you're sure the Yang Star has a Star God, look—they haven't returned to the Yang Star for ages, yet the primordial cosmos remains fine."

"We're just making a brief visit; it won't cause any trouble—otherwise the cosmos would already have problems. Let's also see what could attract so much moonlight."

Changyi felt hopeful about being able to venture into the primordial realm this time, after all, they'd been together too long, and she could see Xihe's hesitation.

Xihe indeed feels some hesitation now; Changyi's words are not without reason.

"Alright, just this once, and we don't need to investigate anything; we only need to go look at Mount Buzhou and then return."

Xihe ultimately gave in to Changyi's hopeful gaze, but she still set the limits for this trip.

"I just knew you loved me most, older sister; I'll follow your lead."

Although Changyi was somewhat disappointed she couldn't walk in the primordial realm, she still achieved her goal of reaching the primordial earth.

Changyi thought, as for what would happen afterward, whether they'd really just follow the older sister's words—simply visiting Mount Buzhou and returning—she'd decide later.

Cloud Dream Marsh.

"Qi, the eruption cycle of fire poison on the Yang Star is approaching; since nothing is happening in the primordial realm now, why not bring Nüwa and Fuxi and all go to the Yang Star together?"

Taiyi spoke softly from the Pond Heart Pavilion.

"It just so happens that the mulberries on the Supporting Mulberry Tree are ready for harvest; after accumulating for so long, the yield must be plentiful."

Di Jun chimed in from the side.

After all, the starry sky is somewhat distant from the primordial earth; if we could travel together, the journey wouldn't be too boring, and traveling in company ought to be enjoyable.

Qi pondered briefly, then said to Di Jun:

"I have no problem; nothing major will happen in Cloud Dream Marsh now, and any issues in the primordial realm won't disturb us here."

"As for Fuxi and Nüwa over there, you'll have to speak for yourself; I can't make decisions for them."

"Alright, I'll go find those siblings and have a chat with them."

Di Jun left the Pond Heart Pavilion with a smile, full of enthusiasm, to seek out Fuxi and Nüwa.
