"Reconstruct the soul."

Chen Lan arrived at the place where the Golden-Winged Roc had died, gathering Soul Dao Power to reconstruct the Golden-Winged Roc's soul.

Although the Golden-Winged Roc had been shattered to pieces, with his current Soul Dao, reconstructing a soul was still possible, although its cultivation would drop significantly.

Before long, the Golden-Winged Roc's soul was fully reconstructed, with its cultivation falling to the Immortal Emperor level, dropping three major realms. However, with its experience, it was estimated that it wouldn't take long to return to the Daoist Venerable level.

"Master." The Golden-Winged Roc lowered its head in shame, kneeling down as it felt it had disgraced its master.

"Rise, you've done well." Chen Lan smiled faintly, turning to leave, continuing to reconstruct the Heaven-Howling Dog's soul.

As for others who died in battle, he was powerless to save that many people.

"Chen Lan, what should we do next?" Sun Wukong approached Chen Lan; now that the Array was broken, people from the Desolate Celestial Realm could come and go freely. They could fend them off for a while, but not forever, and a solution must be found.

"I want to try tearing that Talisman; I feel that the Talisman is the key to breaking the situation." Chen Lan said, looking into the sky with a calm voice.

The Array was broken, yet the Talisman remained intact and in place. What purpose did it ultimately serve?

Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at Sun Wukong in front of him with a complex gaze but didn't speak.

"I tried, but I couldn't tear it, nor do I understand what the Talisman's purpose is."

"Yes, I also tried; my power couldn't move it in the slightest, but now it's different. Since my Divine Bone has awakened and my strength has greatly increased, perhaps it can be done." Chen Lan stated firmly.

At that moment, a figure appeared out of nowhere, causing both of them to be slightly startled.

"Celestial Venerable." The figure was the Heavenly Dao, who, upon seeing Chen Lan, clasped his fists and bowed.

"You dare to show up now, huh." Chen Lan grinned, seemingly sarcastic.

He hadn't seen the Heavenly Dao for so long that he thought the latter had turned into a coward.

"Don't blame me; the Heavenly Dao of that world has always been watching me. If I act, I'll surely die. I've always been very concerned about your safety, Celestial Venerable." The Heavenly Dao smiled helplessly, knowing he would face ridicule from the Celestial Venerable, but he couldn't help it; his life was at stake.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan looked slightly upward at the sky and didn't blame the Heavenly Dao any further.

"Why do you seek me?" Chen Lan asked calmly.

"Celestial Venerable, someone wishes to see you. Please follow me."

"Hmm? Who?"

"She has a special identity. You'll understand when you see her. She has secrets about Blue Star that she wishes to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan and Sun Wukong exchanged glances, with the latter bursting into laughter: "Go ahead, the people of the Desolate Celestial Realm won't come down so soon. They probably need some time to recover."

After all, Chen Lan had just wiped out a wave of them, so they certainly wouldn't dare to come down and die again so soon. Besides, due to the Heaven and Earth Laws, the Dao Emperor couldn't descend yet, so Blue Star was temporarily peaceful.

"Alright, let me go check it out first." Chen Lan nodded, following the Heavenly Dao away.

...

The Heavenly Dao led Chen Lan beyond Blue Star, into the cosmos.

As soon as he arrived here, Chen Lan saw a woman, stunningly beautiful, like an elfin creature with ebony hair. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life, without exception!

Seeing this woman, he felt a stirring of emotion for the first time, a curious sensation, yet the woman exuded an inviolable sense of sanctity, a very conflicting presence.

"Daoist Venerable Xiao Yao, I'm pleased to meet you." The woman smiled gently, a smile so beautiful it made Chen Lan's heart pound.

Her every move seemed to tug at Chen Lan's heart, leaving him in utter shock. Could this woman possibly be adept at Charm?!

"Who are you? Why does my heart race uncontrollably upon seeing you?" Chen Lan asked with a slight frown.

If this was a woman trying to seduce him, he wouldn't hesitate to strike her down.

Upon hearing Chen Lan's serious tone, the woman laughed heartily, taking a while to stop.

"You are truly amusing. I am the Mother of Blue Star, a being naturally born of Blue Star, tasked with managing everything on Blue Star, maintaining the order of all things. Perhaps because you've been on Blue Star for so long and absorbed too much of its aura, you naturally liked me. Any creature from Blue Star would react this way upon seeing me. It's the mutual attraction of our auras."

"The Mother of Blue Star?" Chen Lan questioned suspiciously. He had never heard of such a being before. Wasn't the order of all things on Blue Star supposed to be governed by the Heavenly Dao?

"But why does the Mother of Blue Star look like a typical Huaxia person?" Chen Lan was even more puzzled. The woman in front of him had the perfect Huaxia beauty's face.

"That's formed from what you imagine in your heart. I have no appearance, no body; everything stems from the imagination of those who see me. Whatever they envision me to be, that's what I become. This form you're seeing is what you consider the most beautiful woman, hence, it looks like this."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lan bashfully scratched his head; this was truly his favorite type. He liked girls like this, no wonder it made his heart flutter.

"Uh... so, why did you seek me out?" Chen Lan feigned composure and asked.

"Once the Array was broken, I awakened. Before Nuwa left, she instructed me that in the future someone would break the Array and lead Blue Star to a more glorious path. I suppose that person is you, and my task is to tell you that the Talisman requires a fated one, the only variable in the great calamity, to break it."

Chen Lan fell silent. He turned back to look at Blue Star, already knowing. While talking with Sun Wukong earlier, he realized that Sun Wukong was the key to breaking the Talisman.

Yet, this would mean sacrificing Sun Wukong, and he absolutely would not allow it.

"Is there no other way except for Sun Wukong?" Chen Lan asked.

Must it be so cruel? Since Nuwa wanted to create Sun Wukong, why must she also destroy him?!

In her eyes, is a life just child's play, just a tool?

"I don't know; this is what Lady Nuwa told me. If you can't think of another way, I will personally tell Sun Wukong and let him..."

Before she could finish, a sharp blade was already at her neck, just a millimeter short of piercing in.

Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Dao trembled in fear, looking at Chen Lan in panic: "Celestial Venerable, why are you doing this, don't be rash!"

"If you dare tell him, I'll kill you." Chen Lan looked at the Mother of Blue Star with icy eyes.

The Mother of Blue Star, however, maintained an expressionless face, speaking in a calm tone: "Is he very important to you? More important than Blue Star?"

"You should know that if you kill me, the order of Blue Star will collapse, and chaos will ensue."

"Since you're born of Heaven and Earth, then you can be born again. Don't consider yourself so irreplaceable; Sun Wukong must not die."

"Moreover, he is very important, he's my brother in life and death. Remember my words, if you dare speak, I will kill you."
