Mo Qi felt restless and slowly walked to Xiao Wen and Sun Qian's room.
He suddenly felt like he had drawn water with a bamboo basket, only to find it empty, except for these family members he had gained.
Perhaps one day, he would grow old, but they would grow old with him.
On the journey of appreciating the scenery, one might not rejoice in its beauty but find happiness in having someone to share it with.
It was ironic to think that he had always pursued a broader space, only to find himself seemingly returning to where he started.
Then, who had created this vast space as an illusion for them?
Was it Hongjun, or the Boundless Ancestor?
But no matter what, what he held dear was still here.
He would continue to uphold it as always.
No matter who it was, if they wanted to take them away, he would not agree.
Entering the room, Sun Qian was cultivating on the bed, while Xiao Wen sat before the mirror, grooming herself.
Mo Qi found it incredible, wondering if they had gotten it backward.
The one who should be striving was being lazy, and the one who should be lazy was diligently striving.
Mo Qi put on a stern face, "Xiao Wen, why aren't you cultivating? Do you know that if you don't work hard, others will surpass you?"
Hearing his voice, Sun Qian quickly stopped cultivating and got off the bed. She walked to Mo Qi's side, about to curtsy, but Mo Qi stopped her.
Xiao Wen replied without turning her head, "With such a formidable father, why should I strive? No matter how hard I try, I can never surpass him."
"You child..." Mo Qi's anger surged, and he almost slapped her, but Sun Qian stepped between them.
Sun Qian smiled and said, "Husband, our daughter is extremely talented. She just doesn't accept my guidance, but she obeys her Aunt Zhu Yan's discipline. Under Aunt Zhu Yan's tutelage, her cultivation advances by leaps and bounds. Her current cultivation is already above mine."
Sun Qian's eyes sparkled with boundless affection.
Mo Qi immediately looked at Xiao Wen with new respect.
Mo Xiao Wen, however, became a little embarrassed. She turned to her mother and said, "Oh, Mother, don't praise me too much, or I'll get conceited."
Before Sun Qian could reply, she ran back to Mo Qi, linking her arm through his. "Father, are you more powerful, or is Aunt Zhu Yan more powerful?"
Mo Qi frowned, "We haven't fought, so I don't know."
"Then fight her."
"You child, why should I fight her for no reason?" Mo Qi's mouth twitched.
"If you don't fight, how will I know if you're more powerful or she is?" Mo Xiao Wen said righteously. "If you defeat her, I'll take you as my master."
"This," Mo Qi was somewhat overwhelmed. He hastily pulled his hand back and turned to walk outside, "Let's do it another day. I'll definitely fight her another day."
Stepping outside, Mo Xiao Wen chased after him relentlessly.
Mo Qi felt a headache coming on.
Fortunately, Zhu Yan arrived at this moment, announcing that the formation was ready to be activated.
Mo Xiao Wen also knew that the matter was urgent. She pouted and returned to the room to finish grooming.
Mo Qi felt as if he had been granted a great pardon and immediately went with Zhu Yan to activate the formation.
This time, it was not so smooth.
All the stars in the Golden River world were in turmoil, crashing into each other as if being directed from afar.
"Could it be Hongjun? I mean his true form?" Mo Qi said, drenched in sweat, after a long while.
Zhu Yan didn't understand his meaning and asked, "What?"
Mo Qi said, "I think someone is interfering. Could it be Hongjun?"
"Such minor disturbances can only be from Little Seven."
Mo Qi immediately felt immense pressure. Such destructive power was considered a minor disturbance?
Then what would be the outcome if Hongjun appeared?
He dared not think about it, truly dared not.
Mo Qi suddenly felt that perhaps this world truly had no hope.
Did it really need to be restarted?
But he was unwilling.
No one could passively await disaster.
Even ants cling to life; how could humans, facing death, sit idly by?
Moreover, human struggle is not just for oneself.
Therefore, human struggle is more intense than that of any other species!
This struggle can transform into infinite strength and wisdom.
However, at this moment, all their efforts could not change the current situation.
The stars of the Golden River world were gradually deviating from their orbits. Some were crashing into other stars, while others were hurtling towards the sun. If they collided with the sun, it would be a devastating blow to the Milky Way world.
At this time, in the Sun Palace, the Saintess and her followers were also working hard, exerting collective effort to resist these rampaging "stones." But their strength was ultimately too small, rendering them largely helpless and unable to alter the declining trend.
Mo Qi felt a sense of despair, a profound helplessness.
At this moment, who else could help him? Who could help this world?
Just then, a green shadow flashed, and a maiden, pure and ethereal, as if from nature itself, appeared before them.
Everyone felt their eyes brighten. How could there be such a pure and ethereal girl in the world? She was truly a masterpiece of nature's craftsmanship!
Mo Qi's eyes also lit up. He recognized the person before him as Min Xiaorong, that mysterious woman.
She had appeared mysteriously and disappeared just as mysteriously. If not for her reappearance, Mo Qi would have almost forgotten her.
But when she appeared, she evoked a feeling of profound familiarity!
The laws of heaven and earth flickered, leading him to speculate about Min Xiaorong's identity.
However, he dared not voice his thoughts, fearing that speaking them aloud would shatter all harmony.
Min Xiaorong sat down beside Mo Qi and Zhu Yan. Zhu Yan showed a hint of surprise, looking at Mo Qi and pointing at Min Xiaorong, about to speak, "She..."
Mo Qi immediately cut her off, "She is here to help us."
Zhu Yan was skeptical, but Min Xiaorong's actions proved to Zhu Yan that she was indeed there to help.
With a wave of her hand, a faint red mist spread out, merging into the darkness. It made the darkness even more profound, like ink, spreading infinitely. It slowly enveloped the colliding star worlds, pulling them back to their original orbits, and they began to rotate slowly.
The people erupted in cheers.
Min Xiaorong, however, quietly stood up, preparing to float away.
But Mo Qi grabbed her, "Where are you going? This is your home."
If it were anyone else, this statement would have been mistaken for flirtation.
But Min Xiaorong felt no such thing, and even Zhu Yan did not find Mo Qi frivolous.
On the contrary, she felt that Mo Qi should say this at this moment.
Because they felt that Min Xiaorong had been too lonely all along, and she needed a home!
As expected, Min Xiaorong's heart stirred, and her eyes welled up with tears.
"I have an inauspicious body and should not stay here. If I stay, I will bring disaster to everyone," Min Xiaorong continued to walk away, swinging her arm to try and shake Mo Qi off.
However, Mo Qi held her hand firmly, and she couldn't break free for a moment.
Mo Qi said, "You protected all of us, and everyone has witnessed it. If you truly have the potential to bring disaster, then all of us are willing to accept that disaster."
The crowd echoed in unison, "Yes, we are willing to accept it!"
Min Xiaorong stopped and whispered to Mo Qi, "They don't know my true identity, but you must have guessed it. Once they find me, the disaster for this world will begin here."
"If disaster is to come, what difference does it make if it comes sooner or later?" Mo Qi said powerfully.
"This only represents your personal opinion. Do you dare to loudly tell them my true identity?" Min Xiaorong met his gaze and asked.
