Then, under everyone's gaze, the figure transformed by the Heavenly Emperor collided with the rapidly approaching star world.
With a deafening roar, as if primordial chaos was reopening.
Flames mixed with light energy, a chaotic hue suddenly spread across heaven and earth, and fragments of rock were propelled in all directions.
Giant meteorites continued to fall onto the Sun Star, occasionally splashing sparks that scattered everywhere.
The Sun Star shook and trembled incessantly, and people watched with bated breath, fearing it might lose its stability and fall.
Fortunately, it withstood the test. After a few massive meteorites struck, it remained as stable as ever. Subsequent smaller meteorites posed no threat.
Only smoke, light energy, and sparks continued to surge between heaven and earth.
Mo Qi and others with higher cultivation directly condensed protective divine light, remaining unharmed.
Those with lower cultivation, however, constantly dodged, fearing being struck by unknown objects.
The Saintess, Mo Qi, Shui Han, and others gazed at the dust cloud for a long time, uncertain what they were anticipating.
Perhaps they hoped that when the dust settled, the Heavenly Emperor's figure would reappear between heaven and earth.
But they knew it was merely a wish; the Heavenly Emperor would not appear again.
Under such a collision of immense power, anything would vanish into thin air.
It was then that Mo Qi realized that if he had rushed forward, it would have been utterly futile.
This was perhaps what people often called: with greater ability comes greater responsibility.
But from now on, such responsibility would fall upon him, silently.
Wait, how could it be my turn?
It was at this moment that Mo Qi realized, had the Heavenly Emperor been confused just now? How could he have placed his hopes on him?
What was he thinking?
Mo Qi only hoped that only he had heard the Heavenly Emperor's voice.
However, in reality, the entire Milky Way world had heard the Heavenly Emperor's voice clearly.
Some cheered, while others were angry.
Hongjun belonged to the latter. He was furious: Who gave the Heavenly Emperor the right to arbitrarily decide the successor? Did he even ask for my opinion?
He was completely unaware, therefore, this Heavenly Emperor was invalid and could not be recognized by anyone.
Long Qi and Sun Qian felt immensely proud. They genuinely believed this was a good thing.
It at least meant that the man they loved was a peerless hero, standing at the apex of the world, a figure of universal admiration.
Mo Qi, however, felt immensely disheartened. He believed that with his cultivation, he would inevitably fail to live up to the Heavenly Emperor's heavy expectations.
Therefore, the responsibility should be borne by those who were capable.
So he immediately turned to look at the still dazed Saintess, "How about you be the Heavenly Emperor? I am incapable of fulfilling the role."
The Saintess snorted, "Do you think this is child's play, to be passed around as you please? Since the Heavenly Emperor chose you, he must have his reasons. Just accept this task with peace of mind; it's not a bad thing. I also believe you have the ability."
"Then," Mo Qi said with a sly grin, "I plan to relocate the entire Light World. Do you have any objections?"
The Saintess pondered for a moment and replied, "As long as you can find a way to move it, I have no objections."
"No, you have to help me figure it out. We are family now. Family doesn't keep secrets from each other."
"Get lost. Who is family with you? Figure it out yourself; this has nothing to do with me." The Saintess glared at him dismissively and turned to leave.
Mo Qi then sought advice from his mother, Shui Han, and others, but they were all at a loss.
This greatly distressed Mo Qi.
After much thought, he realized these women were unreliable. It was better to leave here and go to the Galactic Heavenly Realm. There were more people there, and someone would surely think of a solution.
Moreover, he was now the Galactic Heavenly Emperor, so going there was like going home.
He had never been home before, so it was time to pay a visit.
When he shared his thoughts with Shui Han, she immediately agreed.
Chan'er found Mo Qi alone and stammered, "Actually, I came on behalf of the Dark World to disrupt the alliance between the Light World and the Milky Way World. It seems unstoppable now. What I want to say is, although darkness is ostensibly opposed to light, in reality, without darkness, there is no light. And the Dark World is currently going through a very difficult period, needing the assistance of the Milky Way World to overcome its hardships. We dared not speak of this before, but it's different now. You are the Heavenly Emperor; you surely won't stand idly by."
"Then you should tell me what hardship the Dark World is currently facing," Mo Qi said.
"How should I put it? People are disappearing and dying inexplicably. A darker force than ours has quietly infiltrated, leaving us helpless and resigned to fate," Chan'er said.
"Alright, once the problem of moving the Light World is resolved, I will go to the Dark World to take a look," Mo Qi said solemnly.
"There's one more thing. With light comes darkness, and with darkness comes light. If the Light World is moved away, will the Dark World still exist?"
"Then we'll find a way to move it together."
"If only the problem were that simple," Chan'er said with a worried expression. "The Dark World is different from other worlds. Other worlds are composed of individual star worlds, but the Dark World is different. It is a void, a nexus connecting worlds in all directions, and it cannot be moved."
Mo Qi felt his head ache.
"Then, let's find a solution together in the future," Mo Qi said after a moment of contemplation.
"I suddenly find you quite charismatic," Chan'er said, staring intently at Mo Qi. "You have even more presence after becoming the Heavenly Emperor. You look better and better."
Mo Qi coughed dryly, "To be honest, I also feel my charm is about to overflow the Milky Way World. I am the dream of every maiden in the entire Milky Way World!"
"Shameless," Chan'er suddenly gave him a sidelong glance. "I was just joking, and you took it seriously." With that, she turned and walked away indignantly.
Mo Qi pouted, "You're just sour because you can't have it."
Afterward, Mo Qi went to see Xiao Cui.
At this time, Xiao Cui was in discussion with the Saintess.
As Mo Qi approached the doorway, he overheard them discussing how to move the Light World. After much deliberation, they reached no conclusion; the matter was too thorny.
Perhaps the Heavenly Emperor was just an idea, and he had no solutions either?
If he had a way, why didn't he say so before he died?
Mo Qi, however, chuckled to himself. This Saintess, so resolute on the surface, was secretly working hard. Truly, a sharp tongue with a soft heart!
When Mo Qi had himself announced, both women immediately sat up straight, adopting solemn expressions.
Mo Qi couldn't help but want to laugh, but he restrained himself. Upon entering the room, he bowed to his mother, "Mother, I am now in a position of responsibility and must attend to its duties. Therefore, I must leave for a while."
"A true man has aspirations beyond his immediate surroundings. As the esteemed Galactic Heavenly Emperor, you naturally should have the world in your heart and prioritize the greater good. Do as you must," the Queen said.
She suddenly glanced at the Saintess, then back at Mo Qi, "Before you go, is there anything else you need to do?"
Mo Qi understood immediately. He looked at the Saintess and said, "Sister Xiao Feng, do you remember what you said before the Heavenly Emperor's sacrifice?"
"What did I say? I forgot," the Saintess replied, blushing.
"You said that if we both returned alive this time, we would get married."
With the Queen present, the Saintess felt very uncomfortable. She immediately stood up as if to leave, "Don't talk nonsense."
The Queen also stood up immediately, moving faster than the Saintess, "I have something to attend to, so I will take my leave. Master, I bid you farewell."
With that, she had already disappeared.
Seeing the Queen leave, the Saintess became less inhibited and sat back down in her chair. "What I said was that if you could still save me after my sacrifice, we would be together. But I didn't sacrifice at all."
"You did sacrifice, but it was unsuccessful," Mo Qi corrected her.
"Fine, you're right, but it wasn't that you saved me after the sacrifice."
"But in reality, there's no fundamental difference between the two."
"There is a difference."
"Alright, I understand."
"Understand what?"
"You're afraid of my mother."
"Nonsense, why would I be afraid of her?"
"After we get married, you worry that she'll dominate you as a mother-in-law, and you'll feel very stifled," Mo Qi said with a faint smile.
