At this moment, the Saintess also walked over and said to Mo Qi, "I'll go with you."
"No, I'm going alone." Mo Qi's attitude remained resolute.
"This isn't just your business; you can't decide alone," the Saintess stated stubbornly.
Mo Qi said with feigned disdain, "To be honest, I think you're too clumsy. Going would be useless, so it's better if you don't."
How arrogant!
People looked at the Saintess, expecting a storm to erupt.
However, the Saintess was not angry at all. "Your wings have hardened, haven't they? You speak with more conviction. But your taunts are useless. I will go if I need to, and if you won't go with me, I'll just go by myself."
Mo Qi sighed helplessly, "Then we'll go together."
Mo Xiaowen and the others immediately perked up. "We'll go too. If you don't let us, we'll just go by ourselves."
Mo Qi immediately became angry. "Are you going to your deaths? Fine, all of you go. The whole family dies together, buried together."
Xiao Cui rolled her eyes. "What are you saying? Children's words are innocent, children's words!"
As she spoke, Xiao Cui came over and tapped Mo Qi on the head. "What nonsense are you spouting? How can you teach children like this? You have no patience at all."
Mo Qi said indignantly, "I have patience, but I don't have time."
Xiao Cui stared into his eyes. "You don't have time? Or are you worried we don't have time? Actually, with your strength today, even if all of us disappeared, you could still survive. You're worried that we won't survive, aren't you? Don't worry. For things that can be done by human effort, there's no need to worry. For things that cannot be done by human effort, worrying is useless. So, let everything happen naturally."
The Saintess nodded repeatedly. "Indeed, Xiao Cui, you see things quite clearly. It's not in vain that I've taught you all these years."
"Thank you, Master!" Xiao Cui said respectfully.
Mo Qi walked over and patted the Saintess's head. "Well done, Xiao Feng. It's not in vain that I've doted on you all these years!"
"Get lost!" The Saintess impatiently swatted his hand away.
Mo Xiaowen seemed to have a sudden realization and whispered into her mother's ear, "Mother, I think there's something going on between them."
Sun Qian glared at her. "You're just a child, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."
Mo Xiaowen said aggrievedly, "I'm all grown up now, I'm an adult."
Mo Qi again cautioned his wives, "You all take the children back. Don't worry about me, I'll be back soon."
He said it so casually, but everyone knew that things were not that simple.
He said he'd be back soon, but it was more likely that he wouldn't return once he left.
But no one wanted to tempt fate at this moment, so they all held back their emotions and put on a calm facade, saying, "Go with peace of mind. We'll take good care of the children and all the star worlds. Hurry back, don't worry."
Mo Qi didn't want to make things too somber, as if he really wouldn't return.
So he said to the Saintess, "Let's go," and took the lead, flashing towards the distance.
The Saintess followed closely behind.
Zi Luo also followed.
But this time, when they reached that location, they found that the original door had been closed, or rather, the door no longer existed. This made Mo Qi doubt whether he had ever seen a door there.
Perhaps it was an illusion?
However, at this moment, Hongjun's true form was standing by the pond, discussing this matter with the old man with the black beard.
The old man with the black beard said, "Isn't your approach too conservative? What are you worried about? Worried that that little bug will come and turn our place upside down?"
"I just subconsciously felt that the door should be closed," Hongjun said.
The black-bearded man shook his head. "I think it would be better to invite the wolf into the sheepfold. Let him come in, and then we can trap him. Wouldn't that be foolproof? If you put him in the pond, he could easily become a troublemaker."
"No," Hongjun shook his head. "I don't think he can cause much trouble over there, but if he comes over, there are too many possibilities. He might use this pond to his advantage, he might use our resources here to entangle us, and I will not allow such a situation to occur."
"But if that door is closed, no one can pass through," the old man with the black beard asked in confusion. "How will we restart the Milky Way world?"
"I will personally control the pond. I don't believe they have any other way to stop me," Hongjun said with a fierce look.
Mo Qi and the Saintess searched in the black hole for a long time but could not find the door.
Mo Qi was desperate. At this moment, Zhu Yan was not around. If Zhu Yan were here, she might know how to find the door, or find another way to enter the upper realm.
Unfortunately, Zhu Yan seemed to have vanished into thin air since then, and there was no more news of her.
Over the years, many familiar people had successively fallen, making Mo Qi almost numb.
So much so that when Xiao Yi fell, his heart did not stir much.
Or rather, the pain in his heart was quickly soothed by time.
As for Zhu Yan, every time he thought of her, his heart ached.
Was it because he owed her, or for some other reason?
He didn't know.
At this moment, seeing Mo Qi fumbling in the void, his fingers almost bleeding, but still persisting, his eyes bloodshot, the Saintess couldn't help but persuade him, "Don't be anxious. Let's think of another way. There's always a way out. Heaven never closes all doors."
"Heaven never closes all doors is a lie. We've been trying all these years, but we still can't avoid walking towards a dead end step by step." Mo Qi slammed the void hard, causing the entire space to shake, but no door or opening appeared.
"Don't rush," the Saintess said suddenly, her mind racing. "Think about it, only the Earth Star world still has survivors. Is it possible that we can find clues if we go to the Earth Star world?"
Mo Qi's eyes lit up. Zhu Yan had indeed said that the Boundless Mountain seemed to be connected to a star world. Could it be the Earth Star world?
"How are you so smart?" Mo Qi was overjoyed and couldn't help but kiss the Saintess on the cheek.
The Saintess immediately froze, stiffening there, her eyes becoming terrifying, as if she were about to kill someone at any moment.
Mo Qi knew he had caused trouble and quickly fled. "Let's go, we're going to the Earth Star world."
"Stop right there!" The Saintess's furious and violent voice came from behind.
How would Mo Qi dare to stop? Wouldn't that be courting death?
Instead, he accelerated towards the Earth Star world.
The Earth Star world was very lively at this moment, with people from many star worlds pouring in, all of them powerful beings.
Great Emperors and Turtle Sages, who were content with mediocrity and unwilling to participate in power struggles, directly retreated into the mortal world, living incognito and leading ordinary lives.
However, Prince Bei, Zang Hua, Chang Yu Ning, Qi Ao Lai, Ji Zhuo, and others were unwilling to be ordinary and wanted to dominate the Earth Star world.
Even the long-silent Saint Emperor appeared in the Earth Star world.
Thus, everyone gathered at the Heavenly Court, and a great battle was inevitable.
Each of these individuals possessed strength above that of a Saint King. Ordinary Heavenly Gods were no match for them. Li Sanlang and Yang Erlang, despite their extraordinary talent and advancement to Saint cultivation, were insignificant before them and had long been beaten to a pulp.
Long Ji, Murong Yanran, and others were severely wounded, lying on the ground, barely alive.
Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones, and a few others who could rival them had all joined the fray, but they were outnumbered and constantly retreating.
However, fortunately, the people from other star worlds were also fighting on their own, like a scattered mess. No single faction held an absolute advantage. Overall, it was a battle of mutual destruction!
