The principle behind the stellar flashes was actually quite simple and brutal.
It was achieved by manually imbuing each star with divine power.
When needed, this power could be unleashed all at once, triggering a violent explosion.
It sounded simple, and it was simple to execute. The only real problem was the sheer scale of it.
According to Luo Jiutian, she and her companions from the Divine City had, with no respite day or night, imprinted divine power on hundreds of millions of stars. It was an undertaking of terrifying magnitude.
But they had succeeded, their days of preparation culminating in this brief, spectacular display.
As the anomaly faded, the sky gradually returned to normal, leaving everyone still somewhat yearning for more.
Meanwhile, Ye Yun and Xing Wu, guided by Feng Qingxian, officially began their wedding ceremony!
They went through all the rituals, from bowing to heaven and earth, to toasting, and various customs unique to the Celestial Domains.
Finally, they reached the most crucial moment.
Feng Qingxian looked at Ye Yun, then at Xing Wu, and declared word by word,
"I hereby announce, with heaven and earth as witness, and the rivers of stars as a mirror, that Ye Yun and Xing Wu are now husband and wife!"
"From this day forth, they shall share life and death, and remain together eternally!"
With that, she took Ye Yun's and Xing Wu's hands and gently placed them together, then called out,
"The ceremony is complete!"
As her voice faded, the entire venue erupted in cheers and thunderous applause.
From this moment on, they were truly husband and wife.
Holding each other's hands, they looked at their beloved, irrepressible smiles gracing their faces.
Ye Yun felt he was the happiest man in the world at this moment.
Xing Wu felt she was the happiest woman in the Great Thousand Worlds at this moment.
...
Following the ceremony was the wedding banquet.
As the groom, Ye Yun was naturally occupied with numerous pleasantries.
The entire event was lively and joyous.
However, all this shall be glossed over. After all, a wedding isn't truly about drinking.
The most crucial part was undoubtedly the much-anticipated wedding night...
As the sun set and night descended,
with the day's celebrations concluded, the time finally belonged to Ye Yun and Xing Wu.
Perhaps having come to terms with it, Lin Xueyan and the others, despite knowing the significance of the night, did not come to cause any trouble.
Of course, a large part of the reason was that they had all drowned their sorrows in drink and were taken away to sleep when they were drunk.
And in a silent bridal chamber,
Ye Yun and Xing Wu's wedding room had been meticulously decorated.
Inside, a silken canopy hung low, and red candles flickered, all contributing to the splendor of this beautiful night...
Xing Wu, still in her wedding dress, sat quietly on the bed.
Ye Yun stood before her, gazing at the fragrant celestial maiden, and under the circumstances, couldn't help but swallow.
He even felt an inexplicable nervousness...
Finally, he held his breath, gathered his resolve, and gently lifted the bridal veil from her head, finally revealing Xing Wu's face.
For this day, for this night, Xing Wu wore a rare blush, her beauty astonishing Ye Yun once more.
Xing Wu looked up, her face flushed with what could be makeup or shyness, and asked softly,
"Looking at you like this, are you completely captivated?"
Xing Wu smiled faintly, and Ye Yun candidly nodded.
"Yes, my wife, you are so beautiful..."
"I know that, of course."
Xing Wu brushed his cheek and said playfully.
"What I want to hear now is not that."
Ye Yun paused for a moment, then chuckled.
"Wife, I love you."
"Really?"
"I'm kidding."
"Huh?"
Seeing her confusion, Ye Yun continued with a smile.
"I love you very, very much!"
"..."
Xing Wu gave him a look and chided him softly.
"You're so glib."
She then patted the space beside her, signaling Ye Yun to sit down.
Ye Yun didn't hesitate, sitting next to her and wrapping his arm around her slender waist.
Xing Wu said nothing, gazing out at the night sky, and smiled.
"It's truly a marvel. Do you remember the first time we met?"
"Of course. You really scared me back then."
"You deserved it. Who told you to ruin my good deed?"
Xing Wu shook her head and continued.
"But I never imagined we'd come this far, to actually get married..."
Ye Yun said with a faint smile, "Indeed, life is unpredictable. So much has happened over the years..."
"Yes, truly."
Xing Wu nodded gently, recalling the many 'interesting' things she had experienced with him.
Of course, to outsiders, these events might have seemed a little dangerous.
At this moment, Ye Yun suddenly chuckled.
"By the way, wife, are you satisfied with this wedding?"
"Mm, it was quite good. Grand and magnificent."
Xing Wu praised him honestly, but in reality...
Hearing this, Ye Yun looked at her with a smile.
"Since you're so satisfied, shouldn't there be some reward?"
He looked at Xing Wu, his eyes making a wild hint.
This action made Xing Wu's face flush, but she calmly nodded.
"Alright, then it's up to you."
"Really?"
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Really."
Xing Wu smiled faintly.
Having received the royal decree, Ye Yun immediately smiled and said.
"Since that's the case, I have some special plans!"
"Uh, what?"
Xing Wu had a bad feeling.
Usually, when he made that expression, nothing good would happen.
As expected, after speaking, he produced a set of red ropes from somewhere.
Seeing this, Xing Wu's face turned even redder, and she said exasperatedly.
"You scoundrel, how dare you!"
"Heh heh, my dear wife, this isn't something you can just decide."
Ye Yun's lips curved upwards, and he said without politeness.
"My divinity has been restored, and I can now wield divine power. The tables have turned between us."
Ever since last time, Ye Yun had been plotting revenge, and now he had finally found his opportunity.
Even these red ropes he had prepared were something he had asked for from Red Dust Mountain not long ago, their toughness was just right!
Coupled with his overwhelming and powerful cultivation.
Then the outcome was self-evident.
...
...
...
While the Celestial Domain celebrated their new marriage,
on the other side of the Great Thousand Worlds, in a distant Qian Yuan Domain,
the Lord of Qian Yuan Star was wearing a dark expression as he listened to the report from below regarding the investigation results of the Northern Light Domain.
Combined with intelligence from spies in the Ling Luo Domain, they had a general understanding of the cause and effect.
Finally, the Lord of Qian Yuan Star erupted in fury, his eyes blazing with rage.
"Ye Aotian, if I don't kill you, I am no human!"
