A transmission? asked Su Zhu in a daze.

At the time, I was in secluded cultivation, and had been repressing my bodys spiritual energy, but even so a transmission appeared in my sea of consciousness.

..

Would you like to see your big sister again?

Su Liuer had been deeply immersed in meditation when this sentence suddenly popped into her consciousness.

Instinctively, she reached out with her spiritual awareness and transmitted back, Who?

Theres no need for you to concern yourself with my identity. I simply wanted to ask: would you like to see your big sister again?

Ludicrous, everyone knows that Im the empress of the Nine-Tailed Foxes, said Su Liuer, refusing to give even an inch. Whats all this nonsense about a big sister?

Oh really? And here Id thought that back when you were still a child, you once had an elder sister. I am not your enemy; theres no need to be so guarded. I simply wanted to ask if you wanted to see your sister or not. If you do, then I can give you some guidance.

Who exactly are you?

Do you want to see her? Or not?

Su Liuer was silent. One after another, fragments of memories flashed through her muddled consciousness.

Slowly, she clenched her fists, and transmitted back, I want to see her.

Then depart immediately for the lands of the Dragon Race and search for a girl named Su Yan.

After this final transmission, no matter how many times Su Liuer tried to ask more questions, she got no response at all.

...

At the time, that senior had me go visit the Dragon Race and look for a girl called Su Yan. Once Id found her, I took her back with me. From the start, I only have believed her. I never wouldve guessed. She really is big sister.

Su Liuer was normally imposing, but now her transmission sounded almost like a whimper. Others might not understand, but Su Zhu had been there when theyd lost Su Yan, and understood how important their sisters return was to Su Liuer.

Visions of heavenly lightning swallowing up Su Yan had tortured her for a hundred years.

A hundred years!

The whole time, shed loathed her former weakness. If shed been this strong back then, perhaps her elder sister wouldnt have died?

Shed agonized over this for so long.

You could say her hard exterior was merely a front, a way of disguising her inner fragility. She wanted to make her clansmen forget everything that happened that day through her own strength.

That way, perhaps it might be easier for her to bear.

Su Zhu frowned ponderously, and after a while, transmitted, Did that expert leave you their name?

They didnt, replied Su Liuer.

Then, do you know if they were a man or a woman..

If I remember correctly, it was a female voice.

Then we can try the process of elimination. Anyone who knows of our elder sisters existence ought to be a ten-thousand-year-old monster at the very least. Looking at the current Three Realms, who do you think it could be?

Many powerful figures of that era still survive, but they have long since grown disconnected from the world. Our Nine-tailed Fox Clan shares lineage with spiritual beasts, so they dont pay us any heed. Furthermore, they shouldnt have the talent needed to divine something like this. There probably isnt anyone who could do it!

No, theres one person, said Su Zu certainly. Su Zhu said decisively, and Su Liuer stopped and mulled it over for a while.

Suddenly, her eyes widened as she looked at Su Zhu and said, Could it be. Lady Providence?

Within the Profound Pavillion.

Who just called my name?

At the Lady Providences current level, she was extremely sensitive to things like that

When you reached Lady Providences level, you could sense, albeit only slightly, when someone called your name.

But given her current mood, she had no desire to look into the matter any further. She lazily stretched and skimmed some documents, then looked at the woman and said, Its about time for your son to wake up. It will cause quite a stir, so as his mom, you ought to cause a bit of a commotion yourself and help hide his secrets!

Theres no need for you to say anymore, said the woman coldly.

If youre going to treat me like this, then we cant be sisters any longer, said Lady Providence, pursing her lips. The woman didnt respond, but her body began to glow.

In an instant, her clothes transformed into deep blue Daoist robes, her back adorned by seven stars.

Tch, looks like youve long since prepared for this, said Lady Providence with an inquisitive grin. But thats only right, no matter what you say, hes still your own flesh and blood. As his mother, you might talk like you dont care, but in your heart, youre definitely overcome with worry.

The woman gave her a look. Stop talking nonsense and help me.

Okay, okay, okay!

With that, her lazy demeanor vanished, and her gaze grew serious. She formed a hand-seal, and Heaven and Earth shifted.

Rumble.

The daylight suddenly twisted into night skies, and the people of the God Realm panicked as the seven stars of the Big Dipper emanated intense, dazzling light.

How unfortunate. It seems in the future, Ill be living a lonely, solitary life here in the Profound Pavillion

Lady Providence sat in the courtyard, legs crossed. Gazing up into the Seven Stars illuminating the night skies, she sighed despite herself.

In the center of the courtyard, those same seven stars manifested on the blue-robed womans forehead, resonating with the Big Dipper in the sky.

Seven stars, illuminate the world.

As she said this, the light of the Big Dipper grew even more dazzling, to the point that the rest of the night skys vast sea of stars was no longer visible.

Immediately after, the seven beams of starlight shot out of the Big Dipper and connected with the seven stars on the womans forehead.

The power of starlight flooded into them, and they grew more and more lustrous.

The Lord of Seven Stars has descended.

On all nine continents above the Three Realms, everyone from hidden experts to mighty warlords simultaneously gazed up at the seven stars of the Big Dipper in awe.

Then they all started frantically trying to locate their source.

The Lord of Seven Stars had to have saint-level innate talents.

No matter which family recruited this sort of talent, it would inevitably change their fortunes at a fundamental level.

A Saint.

This sort of saint had nothing to do with the diviner cultivation level or anything like that; rather, it referred to someones level of innate talent.

Saints didnt just have astonishing comprehension and cultivation speed; their existence could improve the aptitude of those around them. Spending a long period of time by their side could even help you break through long-standing cultivation barriers.

But a star-bearers position was even higher than a saints.

And the master of a primary star had an even higher position than that.

The woman was master of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, a figure even Emperor Clans longed to befriend.

Six hours passed.

The woman in the courtyard absorbed every last bit of starlight. Looking at her now, she seemed free and graceful, yet as faint and distant as the starry sky.

and looking at her now you could sense that her body

Since shed absorbed the power of starlight, her strength had reached the half-step ruler level, but she nevertheless remained aloof; she seemed to have no expressions whatsoever.

A half-step ruler, not bad at all.

To the side, Lady Providence clicked her tongue in astonishment, but the woman only nodded coolly and said nothing.

Seeing her act like this, Lady Providence couldnt help but worry, but when she considered that her friend had always been like that, she decided to let it go.

Really Nevermind, I have no energy to deal with this. Its been long enough that soon people will come here looking for you. Ill be curious to see who exactly shows up

With that, Lady Providence took a deep breath, then called out, Come in, everyone!
