Chapter 785 - 40: Stealing the Sky and Replacing the Sun, Ascension of the Entire Clan

Chapter 785: Chapter 40: Stealing the Sky and Replacing the Sun, Ascension of the Entire Clan

"That’s right, it’s the Zi Wei Emperor who seeks to attain the ’Way of Zi Wei’ across all ages!"

With this clarity, Li Jingshu officially launched her plan.

"He wants to borrow our power to attain the Way, and Gou Chen Celestial Palace is that destined Auxiliary Star."

"Then the question arises, who decreed that the Auxiliary Star must assist the Ziwei Star?"

Li Jingshu’s simple rhetorical question left Nvwa dumbfounded.

Just as Li Jingshu said, after realizing the essence of the Auxiliary Star, she has been pondering this problem.

Is it the Ziwei Star’s decree that made the Gouchen Star the Auxiliary Star?

Or is it only the star assisted by Gouchen Star that qualifies as the future Emperor Star?

Considering the Zi Wei Emperor’s forced fixation on the future and his insistence on raising Gou Chen Celestial Palace into the sky, Li Jingshu believed the latter was obviously more likely.

Therefore, regarding this, Li Jingshu decided to perform a sleight of hand.

Since Gouchen Star decides who the future Emperor Star is, then why must this Emperor Star be the Ziwei Star?

Or taking it a step further, can’t Gouchen itself sit at the helm of the Northern Dipper and become the future Emperor Star?

It can only be said that the Zi Wei Emperor underestimated the subjectivity of the Mountain People.

He originally wanted to use the Mountain People’s power to help him attain the Way, but was overturned by Li Jingshu.

It wasn’t until Gou Chen Celestial Palace ascended that the Zi Wei Emperor realized he had lost influence over Gou Chen Celestial Palace.

Not only was the birth of Gouchen Star’s power completely detached from the Zi Wei Emperor’s expectations...

He couldn’t even intervene in the birth of Gouchen Star Monarch and could only watch as the ’Way of Gouchen’ chose an ordinary mortal like Gouchen.

In truth, the Zi Wei Emperor originally wanted his own Star Monarch to occupy Gou Chen Celestial Palace and thereby elevate them as Gouchen Star Monarch.

As a result, Gouchen’s interference forced the Zi Wei Emperor to order Shanggui Star to forcibly destroy Gou Chen Celestial Palace.

After all, if the Gouchen Star Monarch isn’t someone he favors, then Gou Chen Celestial Palace has no reason to exist.

If Gouchen were really to attain the ’Way of Gouchen,’

Then the Zi Wei Emperor’s planning over thousands of years would be like tailoring a wedding dress for someone else.

Whether for dignity or substance, the Zi Wei Emperor could not allow Gou Chen Celestial Palace to continue existing.

Moreover, it was the downfall of Gou Chen Celestial Palace that triggered a series of subsequent chain reactions.

With Xiwei Star’s deviation and Gouchen not being his own, the Zi Wei Emperor had to risk forcibly seizing Taiyi Star’s remnants.

Otherwise, let alone attaining the Way in this era, the Ziwei Star could completely lose the position of Emperor Star.

By then, all future timelines would change.

The Ziwei Star would downgrade from a celestial symbol of ’Emperor’ star to one of three hundred and sixty-five circling rightful stars, or even one of the forty-eight thousand evil stars.

To the Zi Wei Emperor, who has already attained the ’Zi Wei Way’ in most futures, this is an absolutely unacceptable worst-case scenario.

"Li Jingshu! How dare you!?"

Upon hearing Li Jingshu’s entire account, Nvwa was instantly furious.

"Your actions not only anger a powerful Pathfinder but also entangled innocent Mountain People in this disaster!"

This was the first time Li Jingshu had seen Nvwa so angry, and she had her reasons.

The strength of the Zi Wei Emperor is undeniable, considered the foremost beneath the Daluo Golden Immortal.

Li Jingshu quietly offending such a powerful being is akin to pushing Hundred Lands Mountain Range into a fire pit.

While the Zi Wei Emperor wouldn’t dare offend the Tao Ancestor,

Can the Tao Ancestor protect Hundred Lands Mountain Range forever?

Even then, Nvwa couldn’t possibly disregard other Pathfinders just because of the Tao Ancestor’s protection.

However, compared to all of the above, Li Jingshu involving Gouchen in this disaster was the fundamental reason for Nvwa’s anger.

With years of thriving and breeding, the Mountain People’s population has indeed grown significantly.

Yet compared to the world that has ascended and the exponentially growing myriad of beings, the Mountain People’s population scale is the reason they haven’t stepped out of Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

In such a scenario, every Mountain Person is crucially valuable.

Not to mention, as the tacit leader of Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Nvwa never overlooked her responsibilities and duties.

Protecting every Mountain Person has always been her guiding principle.

Nvwa can accept the sacrifices by Mountain People, but not them dying at their own hands.

It’s evident that Li Jingshu’s current actions have already touched Nvwa’s bottom line.

"Gou Chen Celestial Palace is our technological and intellectual treasure and must be under our control."

Unexpectedly, when facing such an angry Nvwa, Li Jingshu didn’t cower but instead resolutely refuted.

"Since we cannot change that the first Celestial Palace to rise must be Gouchen,"

"Then the control of Gouchen must be ours, and the Gouchen Star Monarch must be a Mountain Person!"

At this moment, Li Jingshu paused slightly.

"Moreover, I’ve already made comprehensive preparations."

"Gouchen will be fine; not only will he be fine, but he will become the true Gouchen Star Monarch!"

"In the future, he will become the real Emperor Star, replacing the so-called ’Zi Wei Emperor’ as the ruler of All Heaven Stars..."

"Then, the infinite cosmos will fully open its gates to us, allowing us free access."

"We Mountain People will all become All Heaven Star Gods, and we will be the most powerful race under the starry sky!"

Quickly catching the implication in Li Jingshu’s words, Nvwa’s anger slightly subsided, replaced by a gaze as if looking at a monster.

It was only at this point that Nvwa realized Li Jingshu not only seized the ’Way of Gouchen’ from the Zi Wei Emperor,

but she also intended to take a step further and seize ownership of All Heaven Stars.

"Is this your ultimate goal?"

"No wonder you wouldn’t dare tell Li Boyang; your ambition is too big!"

"Do you realize such acts equate to usurping Doumu Primordial Monarch’s authority and targeting Wang Shu!"

As the Moon God of Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Wang Shu’s presence may not be strong, but she is indeed a top-tier strength there.

The key point is, due to the Tao Ancestor’s presence, Wang Shu rarely rejects reasonable requests from the Mountain People.

"Have you been brainwashed by Lu Huaijin?"

"With such aggressive, reckless actions, did you consider the consequences?"

"Though Wang Shu is Li Boyang’s student and your junior, she is, after all, the future Mother of All Stars!"
