It was preordained that several events would be recorded into history in the final year of the Su Xing Star Era.

“Sun And Moon True Dragon” Zhu Yuanzhang Zhu Jiujiu would murder the sages, seize the Ten Thousand Sages Hall, refine the Great Ming, and compel the Central Star Field into convening the Star Marquis to subjugate her. In the end, the Sun And Moon Star Kingdom was toppled and Zhu Jiujiu fled. This was the first.

Fu Jian and Yang Guang would disregard the Central Star Field’s decree and desire the destruction of Mount Hua. They would be killed by the combined efforts of Central’s Twin Stars Huo Qubing and Yue Fei. This was the second.

Xiang Yu would be born and overturn the structure of Star World. “Complete Elder” Hong Li, “Heavenly King Of Wudao” Ran Min, “Heavenly Phoenix Earthly Sovereign” Wang Mang, “Buddha-killing Ghost” Tuoba Tao, “Holy Divine Goddess” Wu Zhao and others would be slain by her in succession, shaking Star World. This was the third.

Following that, “Imperial Empress Of Bedfellows” Fu Jian, “Golden Age Tyrant” Yang Guang, and “Flying Tiger” Li Keyong would Starfall. More than half of Sixteen Star Marquis that had ruled over Star World were already dead. Xiang Yu encroached directly on Central’s power, Zhu Yuanzhang’s whereabouts were unknown, and in the final years of the Star Era, the master of the Central Star Field, Dream in A Millennium, would hold a grand “Feng And Shan Sacrifice,” convening the “Star Investiture.”

“Fingertip Dramatization” Ban Gu was currently writing about the events that transpired during the Star Era. Because the historian Sima Qian had been sealed into the Ten Thousand Sages Hall, the heavy burden of putting history to paper fell upon her. Ban Gu’s fingertips were like brushes, like they were plucking the strings of a guqin, her graceful characters recorded into the flow of time.

The aforementioned were major events in the thousand years of the Central Star Field. Each character’s memory made Ban Gu’s fingertips quiver.

“Hm, a man ought to be recorded in there.” The young woman seated across from her was sweet and leisurely. Her gaze surveyed the ends of Heaven, appearing very abstruse.

“Man? Is Your Majesty referring to the ‘Eternal Star Emperor?'” Ban Gu was taken aback.

“Oh? So Chen Mo had such a nickname as the Eternal Star Emperor?”  Su Mian faintly grinned. According to Star World’s conventional nickname practices, meritorious people always had a nickname. Chen Mo’s nicknames could be described as numerous, including White Clothed Tanhua, Peach Blossom Green Emperor, to “Outstanding Talent Of This Age,” and now, there was Eternal Star Emperor. In Star World, however, the “Star Emperor” nickname represented the most supreme authority. Up until now, only that person back then who created the Central Star Field had been acknowledged by the Central Star Field as a Star Emperor.

“This child has obtained the Five Emperors Seal, responded to the sages, cultivated Without Ultimate True Qi, and defeated Star Marquis. Never have these event occurred in Star World, so everyone believes he will enter Maiden Mountain like the Purple Rose Star Emperor from back then, thus becoming eternal.”

“Then so shall he be named.” Su Mian softly said.

Thereupon, Ban Gu it down.

When she finished writing, Ban Gu asked: “Your Majesty, now that Xiang Yu has been born, will you actually hold the Feng and Shan Sacrifices?”

“En, the Star Era is at an end. Such an important matter cannot be delayed. Besides, This Palace wants to use this opportunity to face Xiang Yu. Only by doing so can we persuade this Hegemon King.” Su Mian said.

Ban Gu respectfully assented. Then, she withdrew.

The atmosphere was quite. Su Mian closed her eyes in meditation. Only when the curtain of night fell did she open her eyes.

“This Palace requires something.”

An officer outside the hall heard the order.

“Dispatch someone to issue this decree. Have Mount Hua disciple Chen Mo and the Song Zhao Purple Rose Star Name Zhao Kuangyin enter the Central Star Field.”

“As you command.”

Ten thousand stars shimmered in the galaxy outside the hall. Maiden Mountain supported the Heavens and jutted into the void sea of stars.

Su Mian stared entranced.

“Father, if the Central Star Field were to be destroyed, would you blame me?”

The girl murmured.

“But…This Daughter…”

Mount Hua. Flowers bloomed and withered, clouds rolled and stretched.

A man and woman stood above the summit, enjoying this rare tranquility.

Below the peak, Li Milu, Jiang Kui, Mi Fu, Sun Yingmeng and the others watched curiously. “That is Chen Qingzhi, the woman of Magnificent Army Avoids The White Robe fame that recently came to the Central Star Field?”

“How stunning, she is actually Chen Mo’s aunt!”

“I told you so, this man was definitely not simple, but I did not expect him to have an aunt like Chen Qingzhi.”

The girls were in spirited discussion. Sun Yingmeng looked curiously at the black and white twins: “What sort of person is Chen Mo?”

“The young master is the descendant of the founder of our School Of Craftsmen!” The twins proudly puffed out their chests.

“School Of Craftsmen?”

Xiao Bore walked over: “The found of the School Of Craftsmen must be Ou Yezi. Is it not said that she stole a weapon from the Central Star Field and was ordered arrested?”

“The master would never do something so despicable. There must be a misunderstanding!” The skirted girl calmly replied.

“Oh? Your Servant never expected the Highness she follows to actually have a School Of Craftsmen background.” Xiao Mohe smiled. The School Of Craftsmen was considered the oldest group among the Hundred Schools. However, because it was too old, the present School Of Craftsmen was more or less lost. Still, the “Star Weapon” Innate Skill of the School Of Craftsmen was very exceptional.

Legend said that the “Swordsmith of Gods And Demons” Ou Yezi was able to forge any Destined Star Weapon.

“I always felt that Junior Brother Chen Mo’s weapon was too strange. It turns out to be the craft of Great Master Ou Yezi. This explains everything.”

“En.”

Atop the peak, Chen Mo was reminiscing with his aunt.

“Chen Mo, Auntie did not expect you would actually become a disciple of Mount Hua. Your growth has been so fast, it makes Auntie ashamed of her inferiority.” Chen Qinghan stared into Chen Mo’s with an exceptional warmth. Thinking back, Chen Mo had used the Heaven Rank “Cut The Seasons Without Hearing Its Name” to defeat “Mystical Blade God” Li Siye, leaving Chen Qingzhi very surprised.

“Auntie Qinghan, don’t leave. Let me help you from now on.” Chen Mo was resolute.

Chen Qinghan faintly smiled. She opened palm, revealing several Star Stones. Astonishingly, these were the Northern Dipper Seven Star Stones’ Beta Ursae Majoris Stone and Zeta Ursae Majoris Stone. “Auntie will not leave.” Embedding the stones into the Northern Dipper, there were already five.

These days, Chen Qingzhi had continued to collect the Northern Dipper Seven Star Stones. Now, they were nearly complete.

“If the Northern Dipper Seven Stars are completely embedded, could we meet Elder Sister?” Chen Qingzhi was a bit sullen.

“Auntie, you still have me, your nephew.” Chen Mo smiled and took her hand. Although they shared a surname, they were not related at all. But ever since the kiss that winter day, a deep bond was already branded between them. 

“Auntie originally wanted to let you and your mother live peacefully in the Outer Star Field, but never did Auntie plan to make you stir trouble in the outside world.” Chen Qinghan’s cold eyes concealed a bit of tenderness.

“As the man you chose, I ought to shield you.” Chen Mo said, overbearing.

Chen Qinghan wrinkled her brow: “Where did you learn such a thing. Star Generals have never needed the protection of a man.”

“Ever since the first time I saw you.” Chen Mo stared earnestly at the woman who changed his life and destiny.

Chen Qinghan had an expression that said, “Do as you please.”

“Qinghan.” Chen Mo tender feelings suddenly overflowed.

“Hm?” Chen Qinghan turned her gaze. She suddenly felt a hot wind in her face, and her ice-cold lips were immediately stuck with a man’s masculine air. Chen Mo kissed her. Compared to their dull first, this second was deep, yet it brimmed with longing and aggression – an aggression that made Chen Qinghan unable to resist. She finally understood that the tenacious young man who trained in boxing even during winter from back then had at last grown to heights she never imagined. 

The two held hands as they walked down the mountain, and the black and white twins ran up to meet them.

“Young Master!” The black skirt girl sweetly smiled and curiously looked Chen Mo over.

“Young Master.” The white-clothed girl was expressionless. She curtsied, graceful.

“Elder Sister Qinghan, your face is very red.” The black skirt girl gasped.

The white skirt girl prudently stepped on her foot.

“Feng, why did you step on me.” The black skirt girl yelped.

The white clothed girl hinted to the joined hands.

“You must be Ganjiang and Moye?” Chen Mo was unfazed.

He already learned from Auntie that they were disciples of his mother. The white clothed girl’s Star Name was Ganjiang while the black skirted girl’s Star Name was Moye. Ganjiang and Moye were very famous names in Chinese History, and they had previously obtained the Star Energy of Primordial Star Names who were twins. Consequently, they could invoke the extremely rare Heaven Earth Dark Yellow Skill.1

In truth, after Chen Mo killed Huan Wen, Auntie made them specifically protect him.

Chen Mo remembered back when Wang Meng blackmailed him, if not for their intervention, he perhaps would be in a different situation right now. Because of their advanced work, another critical character, Fu Jian, had been slain by Yue Li and lost her standing. However, her wish to be one with Mount Hua actually ended up coming true.

“Elder Sister and I searched for the Young Master for so long. We looked high and low in the Outer and Inner Star Fields. We never expected the Young Master to actually be capable of becoming a disciple of Mount Hua.” Mo Huang giggled, her black starry pupils agleam.

“How did you and Auntie find Mount Hua?” Chen Mo asked.

“When we heard that Mount Hua produced a male disciple who left Yang Su limp and panting by using a big stick, we knew.” Mo Huang’s words made Yang Su, who was nearby receiving medical attention from the King Of Medicine, blush furiously.

“Little Sister.” Gan Feng stopped her.

“Elder Sister Qinghan, did we meet before at Greenmound Valley? What was happening back then?” Sun Yingmeng recalled that when she went with Li Xiao to help gather herbs for Daji, they saw a heavily injured Chen Qingzhi. In the end, Sun Yingmeng lent her a hand.

“Last time, I fought against Primordial Star Name ‘Daredevil Third Brother’ Shi Xiu for the Beta Urase Majoris Stone and was injured by her. Thank you for back then.” Chen Qinghan remembered the events of that day.

“‘Daredevil Third Brother’ Shi Xiu.” Everyone was shocked to hear this. Among the Primordial Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Fiend Legion, Shi Xiu was an exceptionally powerful existence. Her no holds barred style was such that even the best of martial generals were absolutely afraid of her. Hearing that Chen Qingzhi actually defeated her to obtain the Star Stone, everyone was in disbelief.

“I did not defeat her at all. Your Servant merely fought without holding back and thus received her acknowledgement. Besides, the time had come for her True Spirit.” Chen Qingzhi answered forthrightly.

“Oh, the Lady’s Realm is presumably very high, then.” Xiao Mohe’s eyes were aglow. Since she had obtained these Star Stones, she perhaps also trained to an even higher Realm.

Chen Qingzhi back then was only True Phoenix Seventh Stage. Now, she already reached True Phoenix Ninth Stage. If not for Xuannü Realm requiring Purple Rose Qi for its breakthrough, perhaps she would have had a chance.

“Lady?”2 Jiang Kui, Mi Fu and the others covered their grins when they heard Xiao Mohe’s address. Xiao Mohe addressed Chen Mo as His Highness, but the meaning of this “Lady” was self-evident.

“Would you like to fight a bout with Your Servant?” Chen Qinghan appeared very calm, not repulsed by this address.

“Just what I wanted. Back then, you swept through the Central Star Field and received the fame of Magnificent Army Avoids The White Robe. Many Star Generals scoffed, and even Your Servant was very skeptical.” Xiao Mohe nodded. Then she turned to Chen Mo: “Your Highness, may Bore battle the Lady?”

“You’re both very injured right now. Wait until you’ve recovered.” Chen Mo was truly fond of Xiao Mohe. That “Lady” address left him too ecstatic.

“Auntie, if you don’t want to fight…”

“Not at all. Your Servant also wants to know how powerful Star Generals accompanying you are.” Chen Qinghan said.

Gao Shanxu appeared above them at this time. Mount Hua’s number one law protector was pale in the face, her energy drained, yet her countenance was ever imposing: “Chen Mo, the Ancestor wants to see you at the Purple Cypress Divine Tree. Go.”

“Very well.”

“Auntie, shall we go meet the Ancestor together?” Chen Mo was a bit reluctant to let go of AUntie’s soft hand. He was afraid that once he parted, Auntie would vanish like smoke again.

“Auntie already said she is not leaving. Go, the Ancestor seeks you for something important.” Chen Qinghan softly said.

Seeing everyone was seemingly grinning at him, Chen Mo said with conviction: “Yang Su, Xiao Mohe. Look after the Lady. I will go meet the Ancestor and Little Senior Sister Luotong.”

“Your Highness, be at ease.” Xiao Mohe rolled her eyes. This bastard truly was poison.
