"Blades gleaming and swords shadowing, they plunge into the pot!"

"Everything is edible!"

"This halberd, to cleave away all the trite and trivial!"

"I must restore the glory of the Food God; Daoist, you shall not smash my pot!"

Though Qiankun Immortal has let go of himself, he is peerless on the path of emulating the Food God.

But no matter how serious or not, he cannot withstand the might of the Heavenly Blade.

"Everything is edible?"

Nuwa, with her lofty presence, envelops everything with the intent of the Heavenly Blade. The blade raises and falls, and with it, layers of astonishing killing intent.

"I'll let you eat your fill at once!"

Let your myriad ingenious tricks break against my one force!

If I can't chop you to death, I lose!

~~~~~~

The Cycle Star Sky is vast and boundless.

While Xuanqing and the Main Gods were engaged in battle, the aftermath of the battle awoke some Star Gods native to the depths of the starry skies.

"The axe of Pangu!"

"I've only slept for a little, merely a hundred and eighty eons; when did the Cycle Star Sky become such a lively place?"

"Geez, where did all these deities come from, and why are they even more vicious than my Heavenly Slaughter Star?"

"Hide, quickly hide; we must not be discovered."

"..."

The awakened Cycle Star Gods tremble with fear.

Especially those who preside over malice, they are extremely sensitive to all things vicious.

Now that the starry skies stirred, they all tacitly took unified action—they silently used the power of the Innate Array to hide their Divine Stars' traces in the Cycle of Stars.

On the surface, it looks like the Cycle of Stars is densely packed, but these are mostly projections of the Ancient Divine Stars in the mortal world. The real Star Gods are hiding their stars at the boundary between the tangible and intangible.

They all prefer to stay inside, hardly willing to interact with the outside world.

On normal days, they simply comply with the Great Dao, shining light on the Primordial True Realm and spreading a bit of starlight across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

Some extreme recluses among the Star Gods would even, after refining stars and presiding over the Great Dao, directly follow the projection of their Divine Star out of the Primordial True Realm, seeking a tranquil and peaceful starry realm to dwell in.

After all, the radiance of stars illuminates All Heavens—what difference does it make which starry realm one stays in?

The Dongfang Kangsu Star Domain.

The domain overseen by the Kangjin Star Lord, also including several affiliated Divine Stars: Daljiao, Zuosheti, Yousheti, Dun Wan, Yang Gate, and Zhe Wei.

After awakening, a few Star Gods could not find Kangjin Star Lord.

"Eh? Where's big sister? Has she returned to the Dragon Clan?"

The Heart Star Domain.

Heart Moon Fox laid on a Divine Star, exhaling two breaths of fire, her nine tails opening like lotus flowers, swaying back and forth.

"Xiao Xiao was indeed right, even the starry skies are not peaceful anymore; I'll have to return to Qingqiu for refuge another day."

The Blood Light Divine Star.

A Star God hid within the Innate Array, observing the distant battle.

"I foresee that the deity with the black pot on his back is doomed to a bloody disaster!"

"Pfft!"

The brilliance of the Heavenly Blade cleaves through flesh.

A string of shimmering blood beads scatter through the void, their fragrance pervading all directions.

"Hehe, just as I said!" Prophecy fulfilled, the Blood Light Star Lord is smug with triumph. He is one of the wicked stars of the Cycle of Stars, unsurpassed in expertise on all things vicious.

Another expanse of starry sky.

"Death Talisman enters fate. Hiss—this Ancestor Qilin Daoist's life is soon to end!" Within the Death Talisman Star, the Star Lord predicts a crisis for [Ancestor Qilin], another of the wicked stars.

"Boom!"

The Main God loses control of his Kidney Water, detonating himself again.

Nearby the Death Talisman Star, there's also a Death Star; the two Star Lords are neighbors and friends.

"That Seven Killings Star Lord looks consumed by death qi, he's likely done for!" As soon as the words of the Death Star Lord fell, the Seven Killings Star Lord was smashed by Xuanqing's Seven Star Seal, his brain bursting on the spot, dying instantly.

"Who cursed me!" The Seven Killings Star Lord comes back to life in an instant, looking around anxiously.

At this very moment, there are unusually many wicked stars paying attention to this battle.

"The Primordial True Realm is still too dangerous!" When sensing the approach of danger, a wicked star in the starry sky—Feilian Star—stirs up a divine wind.

Feilian, with the body of a deer, the head of a sparrow, antlers, and patterns of a leopard on its snake tail.

The Feilian Star Lord stands amidst the void, gazing deeply at the ripples coming from the far-off starry space.

After much contemplation, he makes a significant decision—to flee!

"This starry space is no longer safe; it's time to move elsewhere." Having said that, the Feilian Star Lord picks up his entire Divine Star and then vanishes deep into the starry abyss.

You say the Cycle Stars must follow their orbits, not to be moved at whim?

Nonsense.

How could the Ancient Divine Stars be such inconvenient entities?

If Cycle Star Gods can't take their planets and roam the Cycle, are they worthy of being called Cycle Star Gods?

Star orbits?

Naturally, wherever the planet is, the orbit follows!

Before leaving, Feilian casually grabs some stellar material from the nebula, creating a decoy star in the place of Feilian Star as a substitute.

Then, he scuttles away swiftly.

"Ying Zhao, I'm here to see you!" The Feilian Star Lord takes the Feilian Star near the Heavenly Horse Star.

"Get away from me, don't come near, stay away!"

The Star Lord of the Heavenly Horse Star was still asleep, but the moment Feilian approached, he was startled awake.

Feilian Star, governing solitude and bringing harm.

This entity is one of the evil stars of the Cycle; whoever it meets, it afflicts.

Most divine beings truly cannot withstand it.

And the Heavenly Horse Star Lord is restless, kind to the good, wicked to the evil.

Of course, he doesn't want Feilian to stay near him.

"Ah, don't be like that, we know each other after all, and belong to the same Cycle; we're friends!"

The Feilian Star Lord is outright rejected but is not offended: "My place is too dangerous now, as a friend, can you really bear to see me perish in the starry sky?"

"I can bear it!" Ying Zhao replies coldly, with a heart devoid of emotion.

Feilian Star Lord instantly showed a look of sorrow: "Do you really not intend to take me in?"

"Not intending to!" Ying Zhao expressed refusal.

Feilian Star Lord became anxious, and he earnestly said: "I've truly sensed a strong crisis, the Cycle Star Sky is going to be troubled, we need to stick together to keep warm, to jointly resist the adversity."

"Anyway, your luck isn't bad, you won't be killed easily."

"..."

Ying Zhao was silent for a moment.

After a short while, a majestic Divine General's phantom appeared in the starry sky.

"Is everything you're saying true?" Ying Zhao's eyes were deep, and he looked at Feilian with slight doubt.

Feilian swore with determination: "How could I deceive you? Just look at the big battle in the Southern Star Domain."

"When, in the countless years of the Cycle Star Sky's history, have we ever had such a commotion?"

"If there were no crisis, would I, an Evil God, need to run away?"

Ying Zhao thought it over again and again.

He considered whether to continue staying in the Cycle Star Sky or to retreat to the Primordial Land.

At Huaijiang Mountain, it's where Ying Zhao, the Divine Ying Zhao, resides, with a horse's body, a human's face, tiger stripes, and bird wings, traversing the Four Seas, its sound like a pomegranate exploding.

Just as Jidu Divine Star has no Jidu, Heavenly Horse Divine Star also has no Heavenly Horse.

Ying Zhao is not a local Star God.

His Daoist sanctuary is in the Primordial Land.

"Okay."

In the end, Ying Zhao still decided to team up with Feilian.

Crisis indeed, it brings danger, but also opportunity!

A smile appeared on Feilian's face, "That's more like it!"

"Since there is danger, just the two of us are probably not enough."

After a moment, Ying Zhao said: "I think we also need to make contact with some other like-minded companions, ideally forming an organization."

"Feilian, do you know any other group of wicked stars?"

Feilian thought for a bit: "I do know a few, just haven't contacted them in a long while."

Ying Zhao said: "Let's find an opportunity to have a chat, I also feel that the Cycle Star Sky is going to be troubled."

"Alright!" Feilian nodded his head.

He then asked: "If we really establish an organization, what should we call it?"

Ying Zhao contemplated briefly.

"Well, that needs to be thoroughly discussed."

"First, let's contact a few Daoists."

~~~~

Southern Star Domain.

The Southern Dipper Six Star Lords, seeing the trend was against them, had already begun to seek a way out.

"Deep in the starry sky, there must surely be many guys hiding."

Especially since Seven Killings Star Lord inexplicably died several times, which made them truly anxious.

They always felt as if a pair of malicious eyes in the depths of the starry sky were watching them.

"The waters of the starry sky are indeed too deep!" Tianliang Star Lord sighed.

It's not just a stone causing a thousand ripples; a single ripple nearly drowned them.

"Let them hold the front for now, we should retreat, hide the traces of our Divine Stars, and bear it out." The six Star Lords looked ahead.

Kangjin Star Lord, Maori Star Lord, and Juwwei Star Lord were indeed fulfilling their duties diligently, taking on the task and holding back Zhun Ti.

Qiankun Immortal, who was left holding the bag, was a bit miserable.

As soon as Nuwa showed a bit of her true power, he was pressed and beaten.

"Not good, I have a feeling this time it's going to be bad." Qiankun Immortal gradually regained his strength.

Getting chopped by the Primordial Heavenly King upfront, now being continued by Nuwa.

Qiankun Immortal's confidence in the fight waned more and more.

On the other side was clearly Taiyi Cultivation, so how come holding the Qiankun Cauldron, he was still just receiving blows?

This was not right!

Moreover, he could still feel some evil thoughts lingering on himself, unable to be driven away.

If this trend continued, his situation would be extremely dire.

"I was careless, I should not have come here." Qiankun Immortal now somewhat regretted it; why did he take on such an urgent order, he should have just gone to the beginning of Heaven Creation!

At the same time, he also had some doubts: "Didn't I eat the Reincarnation Pill?"

"Could it be that the effect of the medication hasn't kicked in yet, my luck hasn't changed at all!"

According to the Storybook Immortal, the Rescue Suffering and Misfortune Transfer Pill needs one to be in the midst of adversity to take effect.

"Does that mean my previous experiences weren't adverse enough, so I need to go through this disaster first to turn to good fortune?"

Qiankun Immortal felt more and more likely about this possibility; otherwise, why did he come to the starry sky as soon as he took the Elixir.

Now he was being beaten without the strength to fight back.

"Ah, I should have asked more clearly, then at least I could be prepared!" Qiankun Immortal complained to himself in his heart.

Perhaps it was because of Hong Jun's backing, he still hasn't felt Houtu to be unreliable.

He only blamed himself for not asking a few more questions at the time.

"I hope I can get over this disaster."

Qiankun Immortal now wanted to run but couldn't escape anymore.

He felt that he might be able to wait for the pill's effects.

Qiankun Immortal had a premonition that the pill was useful, just the timing wasn't right.

The other side.

The Main God was also urging the Southern Dipper Six Stars to retreat.

"Seize the opportunity, you all retreat quickly."

"The time for this rescue is nearly up."

The Main God did not want to face Xuanqing anymore.

Previously, dealing with Xuanqing gave Him a headache.

Now, battling Xuanqing gave Him kidney pain.

It was too miserable!
