Maiden Galaxy

"That is the Without Ultimate Star Emperor?" Li Liangyi looked at Chen Mo, unimpressed.

Sitting behind her were "Three Arrows Set Heavenly Mountain" Xue Rengui and "Mystical Blade God" Li Siye. The expression with which Li Siye stared at Chen Mo was hateful to the bone. In that war at Mount Hua, her Heaven Rank was surprisingly no match for him. In the end, she was defeated and fled.

"Heavenly Khan, this man has the Five Emperors Seal. He should be cultivating Primordial Star Energy. He is extraordinarily frightening." Li Siye whispered.

Li Liangyi grunted. Of course, she was able to discern this.

How could she not be aware of how Star World's men were. Even if they were top-notch like Zhu Xiaoxiang or Huang Yuheng of the Xuannü Seven Stars, in the end, they lacked a bit of favor from "destiny." Thus, men could be very powerful, but they were incapable of breaking the barrier of Xuannü Realm.

In Star World, Dream In A Millennium received the bloodline of a Primordial Star Name and was thus born. Her power made Star Marquis feel very threatened, but in the end, Star World could only have such a character appear once every thousand years.

And now, there was surprisingly a man who could match Su Mian evenly.

"Without Ultimate Star Emperor!" The corner of Li Liangyi's mouth faintly twitched. It just so happened he wanted to challenge the Four Lords Of The Warring States during the Feng and Shan Sacrifice. She actually wanted to see whether this man was as the rumors said, a character able to make the sages all shout.

"This Chen Mo's Spring Snow Seeping Into The Land is actually too arrogant." Qin Niyan interrupted at this moment. Recalling her encounter at the Baitang Restaurant, she was both angry and powerless.

"If he actually has strength of ‘Emperors Tang and Song had little literary excellence to speak of,' We feel he actually would be too subdued." Li Liangyi was quite fond of people who had the power to put on airs.

"Is Ziyi not here yet?" Li Liangyi wrinkled brow.

Everyone shook their heads.

"What is the meaning of this." Li Shimin muttered. She had dispatched Guo Ziyi to attack Mount Hua, but she apparently went somewhere else. The result was that she had fallen completely silent. Guo Ziyi was but the strongest of the Heavenly Tang Star Kingdom's Three Law Protectors. Her mysterious disappearance made the Eternal Divine Warrior feel a bit uneasy.

Looking back to the Purple Forbidden Enclosure venue, rites and music came from the Son Of Heaven, and dukes and princes would fade away.

"Rites, music, and expeditions come from the Son of Heaven…" Li Shimin profoundly smiled.

…

"Rites, music, and expeditions come from the Son of Heaven…Su Mian truly has good tricks." Dong Zhongshu looked at the Purple Forbidden Enclosure, her gaze dark. Past ceremonies were all conducted by Star Marquis. The Central Star Field declined, but following Xiang Yu's massacre of a majority of the Star Marquis, somehow, the Central Star Field's influence had already eclipsed the Star Marquis.

Although Xiang Yu was a bother, Su Mian already relied on her own methods to once again place the Central Star Field over the Star Marquis.

"So long as we kill Xiang Yu, Dream In A Millennium should prolong the Central Star Field's destiny another Star Era." Zhu Xi said.

"En, then we shall see if she can do so or not." Dong Zhongshu arrogantly entered the hall. No matter the result, they would destroy the Mount Hua after the Feng and Shan Sacrifice. The Hundred Schools would revere her, and by then, her merit would be unsurpassed in the world. The Central Star Field's life and death would no longer be linked to her in any way.

…

Su Mian was lost in though as she gazed at the sculpture at the center of Yanhuang City.

"Your Majesty. Your Majesty." A voice softly called, bringing Su Mian back to reality.

"Hm?" Su Mian turned her head back. She saw her good friend Su Wanyang staring at her.

"These days, Elder Sister seems to be preoccupied." Su Wanyang noticed that something was weighing heavily on her mind. She was always lost in thought at some point in time. The Peerless Star Hero followed her gaze and noticed that pure and holy statue, finally somewhat understanding what was happening."

"Facing Xiang Yu is very important. I must be nervous." Su Mian muttered to herself.

"Elder Sister is actually also able to feel nervous…" Su Wanyang seemed to have discovered a new world.

"Right, the Purple Firmament Immortal palace and the Ten Thousand Souls Rebirth Path's direct disciples have requested an audience." Su Wanyang said.

"Show them in."

Su Mian tidied her clothes and recovered the posture she ought have as master of Central.

A man and woman entered the hall. The man was garbed in black, a suave air about him. The woman was dressed in purple silk, graceful and moving. The two were as compatible as fire and water, and they glared at each other with mutual enmity.

"Since the two of you have come to the Central Star Field, please set aside your prejudices." Su Mian said.

"Ten Thousand Souls Rebirth Path, ‘Son Of Fufeng" Xiao Cao!"

"Purple Firmaments Immortal Palace, Su Mushuang."

The man and woman announced their names and deferentially greeted Su Mian.

Su Mian nodded. She was aware of their identities as direct disciples of their respective sect headmasters, "Are both Ancestor Fox Of Voracious Admiration and Aunt Shengxiang not coming?"¹

"The Ancestor is in secluded cultivation. It is time to attack Maiden Mountain, and she asks that Your Majesty understand."

"Headmaster Su is also in secluded cultivation at the moment and is unable to appear. She hopes for Your Majesty's understanding."

Xiao Cao and Su Mushuang did not dare be neglectful and promptly clarified their reasons.

Su Mian was a bit regretful. The Purple Firmaments Immortal Palace and the Ten Thousand Souls Rebirth Path's headmasters were Lords Of Heaven Ninth Tribulation; they were the only cultivators who could compare to top-notch Star Generals. Their relationship with her father was not at all shallow, and Su Mian had wanted to invite them to attend this Feng and Shan Sacrifice.

"Although the Ancestor is unable to attend, she bade This Disciple present an item to Your Majesty."

"Headmaster Su also had instructions."

Su Mushuang held a treasure map while Xiao Cao presented a black parasol. The two treasures radiated chilling clear light, and they were suffused with Primeval Chaos True Qi as well as Primordial Star Energy.

"This is the case. Very well, then." Su Miang faintly smiled: "Wanyang, please guide Xiao Cao and Su Mushuang to their seats in the Purple Forbidden Enclosure."

"Yes."

Su Mian took the map and the parasol, storing them into empty space. Then, a maid tidied her appearance.

All her preparations were in order. She only waited to enter the venue.

Yue Fei Yue Li loyally guarded at her side. The woman was like a boulder, endlessly stalwart.

"Li, what do you say future annals will record for my conduct and deeds?"

Hearing the throngs outside and staring at her reflection in the mirror, Su Mian was a bit lightheaded.

"History is written by the victors. Your Majesty has no need to worry." Yue Fei said.

"History is written by the victors…" Su Mian jeered at herself: "These are merely words of self-comfort. Father once said: the trajectory of history has never shifted because of victors. Even if some things are covered up, they will be unable to withstand the pressure of time in the end. Witness history, and countless people will eventually restore everything."

Yue Li said nothing.

"Li, even so, are you still willing to stand on my side?" Su Mian held her hand.

"For Your Majesty, Li would even sacrifice her life. Without hesitation."

Yue Fei's every word was heavier than Mount Tai.

"Thank you."

Su Mian softly expressed her gratitude and pushed open the doors to a mountain of cheers.

…

The others in the venue looked Chen Mo over. At the same time, Chen Mo looked back at the others, full of interest. Li Shimin, Li Jing, Chen Yaojin, Yuwen Tai, Qi Jiguang, every person's name was so familiar yet also a bit inexplicably strange.

Liu Yong Liu Fengxi, Su Shi Su Wanyang, and other top-notch spiritual power Star Generals like the Four Sages Of Confucianism stepped into the hall one after another.

Liu Yong's entrance could be said to be astonishing. She rode in on a mountain-like hedgehog, and that hedgehog simply climbed slowly into the Purple Forbidden Enclosure, shocking everyong. 

That hedgehog was none other than her Star Beast, "Cui Hun," but looking at that body filled with quills, Liu Fengxi was unfazed. That she rode upon it without any hardship honestly made everyone wipe their cold sweat.

Only when Liu Feng dismounted Cui Hun did everyone discover that as the girl passed, the quills on the Star Beast automatically softened to be like grass.

"Hm." Chen Mo greeted her.

Liu Fengxi elegantly smiled.

Su Shi cordially greeted Liu Yong. When she Saw Chen Mo was looking at her, Su Wanyang harrumphed. "I detest you."

"Young Master, how did you manage to provoke Su Shi." Mo Huang was eating as she asked out of curiosity. She was familiar with Su Shi, who was a close friend of Dream In A Millennium and was one not to give others face.

"It's a long story." Chen Mo shrugged.

Gan Feng tugged the hem of Chen Mo's clothes, her face saying, "I want to hear this story."

"Oh, okay."

…

"Her Majesty Mian has arrived!!" A loud shout echoed through the Purple Rose Star Palace. The Purple Forbidden Enclosure suddenly fell silent.

Under the forest breeze, a gorgeous girl in a purple skirt walked out of the palace gates, purple cloud east approaches, like a holy emperor descended into the world.

She walked delicately, with the force of a driving storm and proud aura. She exuded power, moving even the greatest of the Star Marquis.

"We greet Your Majesty!"

Everyone in the Purple Forbidden Enclosure greeted her while the cultivators and Star Generals in the Supreme Palace Enclosure and Heavenly Market Enclosure knelt.

"Everyone, rise." Su Mian spoke with deliberation, as if she had a heavenly voice, her every word surrounding the entire place, prolong. Each word seemed sentient, with its own life, smart and lively.

"Strict enforcement of orders!" Chen Mo's brow rose, his heart slightly moved.

His current Realm was sufficient to match or even surpass top-notch Star Marquis. He could even remain unafraid against the domineering Hegemon King, but at this moment, hearing Su Mian's godly voice, he could not help but feel his heart move. Dream In A Millennium's voice seemingly leaked a mood that moved Heaven and Earth, that her word was law.

This was the first time Chen Mo felt such a change in Su Mian. At the moment, his heart moved, and he stared at the girl intently.

Everyone expressed their gratitude and rose.

Although the distance between the three enclosures was such that people of the Supreme Palace and Heavenly Market Enclosures could not even be seen, each person could feel this change. No one dared to behave frivolously.

After another moment, the sound of military music smashed the silence. A troupe of sword-dancing women entered the field, swiftly executing their sword dance. The song was stirring and resounding, simple and melodious, filled with the baleful aura of the battlefield.

Under the escort of the dangers, a person wearing a demonic mask appeared.

The woman wearing the mask had long, golden hair. The twin swords she brandished appeared amidst the dancers. The song became even more sorrowful, the tune containing the desolation of a ten thousand li of corpses, showing the weight of history.

Chen Mo had never heard such a tune that was bold and carried history's slaughter. Each note could stir a person's cells to battle, bolster morale.

He could not help but watch the woman who had joined in.

The song ended, and Chen Mo seemed to have experienced a world-shaking battle, leaving him inwardly desiring more.

The dancers knelt to the side while the woman with twin swords and golden hair took off her mask, revealing a face that eclipsed the beauty of Heaven and Earth, that surpassed man and god.

Her countenance perfectly combined masculine beauty with flowing femininity.

Her limpid blue eyes were like an endless ocean, concealing a vast tenderness.

Chen Mo had seen countless beauties, but he still was captivated by the beauty of the woman in front of him. No wonder she wore that frightening mask. Anyone who saw her face would only feel her completely harmless.

Chen Mo's heart vaguely already realized the newcomer's identity.

"Gao Changgong Gao Tianfei greets Your Majesty." The woman knelt and lowered her head.

She was none other than the head of Central's Ten Permanent Functionaries, Heavenly Esteem Star "Prince Of Lanling" Gao Changgong.

That fierce dance music just now was none other than the famous "Song Of The Prince Of Lanling Entering The Battle Camp."
