"You're quite impressive. The Fallen you encountered sensed your location from the Beast God Descendant. Coming to Nebis must have been extremely difficult and costly for it. It was willing to expend such effort only to utterly destroy you."

Li Ang exchanged a glance with the girls and sighed lightly: "Indeed, at that time, we could only flee pathetically despite giving it our all, and it was, all thanks to her."

He gently pushed Zoe's back.

"Divine Child... could it be that the time awaited by our clan has finally arrived."

The ancient dragon-shaped Star Soul exhibited a complicated emotion in its eyes as it averted its gaze from the people on the cliff to gazing at the void, as if seeing through the ages.

After reminiscing, it focused its gaze on Li Ang and said:

"You, who regained power from fragments, are gathering the Descendants of the Demon Exterminator and are by the side of the Star Divine Child. You are key, and even..."

It inhaled a mist cloud and exhaled thunder: "The aura on the Divine Child has already called upon the silhouette of that True God."

"Ah?"

Zoe was taken aback, trying to grasp the meaning of the Celestial Dragon, and asked tentatively: "Do you mean Bahamut?"

Baal let out a low murmur without responding, seemingly reluctant to call the name so directly.

"It's been too long; matters of the ancient times are all remarkable from the perspective of current mortals.

"The Divine Child is on the right path, with the right companions, but you all still need to quickly elevate your strength to face the destruction spreading gradually from the world's abyss to the human realm.

"Resonate with me."

The Giant Dragon decisively spoke, leaning forward, as starlight floated around, the Light of the Star Soul illuminated the entire cliff.

Li Ang heard a sigh and saw the previously silent Gregory, the Young Bishop, his eyes filled with shock and admiration.

"Holy Dragon, I never thought I'd witness more wonders, this truly is..."

This person had been amiable since meeting, but unlike Eden's secretive demeanor, Baal was unapologetically displaying the Star Soul's power as if they had a deep connection.

Just like last time, Zoe was enveloped in starlight, accepting the new power of the Star Soul.

Li Ang immediately noticed that her status panel now included Wind Element Affinity, great, another aspect of the Four Elements reshaping completed.

Baal's retained Light of the Star Soul far surpassed Eden's; although its spirituality was also being activated by the power from the Star Soul Greenhouse, the Light of the Star Soul it conveyed was so intense it seemed to envelope the entire cliff, making it seem like rather than Zoe helping it, it was instilling power into the young girl.

Soon, the Magic Power on Zoe's body also ascended, leaping to a Tier Five, and her appearance began to change.

The Golden Crocodile Scale Amber Armor passed through the phantom of her body and landed on the ground, covering the girl entirely with a cyan-blue glow, with Profound Runes spinning around like a vortex, then merging into her body.

Three pairs of white wings immediately spread behind the girl.

One pair extended between her now cyan-blue hair, resembling ethereal feathered ornaments, but when they gently flapped, they could stir the wind stream.

One pair stretched downward from her waist, their elongated feathers resembling the fluttering ribbons hanging from a Celestial Maiden's waist.

One pair opened from her shoulder blades to the sides, appearing soft and white, yet the sense of power and flexibility in the wing bones left no doubt that they could carry the delicate girl into the sky.

Her exclusive attire for this form was a cyan short top and wide culottes with slits on the sides, her wrists bound with ribbons, and her bare feet entwined with fine silver chains not touching the ground. When she treaded the air, the bells on her ankles jingled softly.

"An, an angel?" Alulu's eyes widened, marveling at Zoe's new form.

Glancing at her current self, Zoe cheerfully smiled at Li Ang and then said to Alulu: "Not an angel."

She experimented with her new wings, beginning to slowly lift off.

Li Ang said: "White Feather Celestial Maiden would be a more fitting name for this form."

Because the Thunderstorm Celestial Dragon was naturally of a long snake-like shape, the current Zoe's physique seemed more slender and supple. As the young girl struggled to fly in the sky, ethereal ribbons wafted around her, truly resembling a celestial maiden dancing in the air.

"Here we go again." Dorothy muttered unhappily.

Zoe's laughter, like a silver bell, echoed atop Thunder Peak; in her Star Soul Form, the additional limbs quickly felt like a part of her body, managed instinctively.

She soon rode the wind to fly in a circle; though fearful of leaving the cliffside at first, she quickly and confidently soared over the peaks, circling in the air and returning past the Thunderstorm Celestial Dragon's cyan scales.

Getting close to Elaphia made Zoe a bit nervous, and then she awkwardly bumped into Li Ang's embrace.

Her new form was very light, and instead of needing to brace himself against her impact as before, Li Ang found it like embracing a soft, warm cloud.

Zoe rubbed her face against his chest, the cyan locks brushing back and forth, the wings on her head gently sweeping with soft feathers, and her large wings wrapping around him. It was more comforting than a down comforter, as the gentle breeze swirling around her prevented any discomfort from heat.

Yet he did not dare hold her too long, as he sensed indistinguishable prickly gazes from behind.

On one side, Andasu suddenly approached the half-elf, making her a bit uncomfortable.

"What do you want?"

The White Wolf lowered her voice: "Am I really that bad at dressing up?"

The half-elf glanced at her deliberately trimmed short hair. Previously attempting to disguise as a man required a mask since mere haircuts didn't negate all femininity.

Reluctant to admit the beast-eared maiden's genuine charm, Dorothy, possessing seductive beauty herself, didn't fake her words and simply nodded.

"In our team, you're the most knowledgeable." The White Wolf said, "Teach me."

"Why should I teach you?"

The White Wolf's pale gold eyes flickered; she leaned in to whisper near the half-elf's ear.

Dorothy's eyebrows raised, having planned to step aside but then halting the motion.

Elaphia, seeing Zoe transform for the first time, scrutinized the petite girl with a frown: "What is the principle behind this, how is it achieved?"

"It's a long story," Li Ang said, "I'll explain on the way to the Holy City."

"Then it'll be delightful to have your company for afternoon tea on the journey."

After resonating, Baal appeared much gentler to everyone.

Its turbulent mingling thunder in the surrounding mist swung, and a stone floated toward Zoe.

The girl caught it; it was a light cyan Glazed Jade, far larger than the one obtained from Frost Heaven Island.

[Purest Star Crystal·Wind]

[Seems to swirl with the Essence of Wind extracted endlessly from the heavens within its beautiful form]

"The elements of the Divine Child seem to pursue balance, the Pure Star Crystal can forge a Supreme Weapon, tuning all with the Light of the Star Soul.

"Should you encounter the Molten Mountain Star Soul, the fire elemental puzzle could be completed, yet the Earth Attribute Star Crystal is nowhere to be found, influenced by the world's circumstances.

"Fortunately, you've fortuitously bonded with the newborn Earth Star Soul."

Baal glanced at the Earth Serpent Zoe had just released, now crouching behind the crowd.

"Come before me, and I shall reveal the mysteries of Power Mastery."

The Earth Serpent's gemstone star eyes turned slightly; having not been let to battle much recently, Li Ang felt its spirituality sharpen a bit, nurtured in the Star Soul Greenhouse.

The golden serpent slithered before the much larger Celestial Dragon, whose eyes flashed with the Light of the Star Soul, dropping some Profound Runes into its star eyes.

It quivered its head as its eyelids covered the star eyes, its body began coiling, and the surrounding earth started to rise and envelop it.

As the earth completely wrapped Anastasia, it started to coalesce into a seamless curve, the earth layering compactly like snake scales, swiftly making the serpent appear to be enclosed within a golden giant egg.

"What's happening to Xiaohan?" Zoe asked in surprise.

"Eden is too young, not stable enough, many details weren't conveyed to you."

Baal stated, "I've informed the Earth Star Soul about the method to self-cultivate consciousness. Once its metamorphosis completes, it will start mastering the Star Soul True Power in human form, pushing the Divine Child's acquisition of the Purest Earth Star Crystal forward."
