Perhaps it's lonely at the top; The Empress, uncharacteristically, asked Mo Yu for her opinion on Chen Changsheng. Mo Yu handled the situation with finesse, remaining impartial; she neither blindly praised Chen Changsheng nor recounted his faults, merely expressing her objective admiration for him. This approach made The Empress very satisfied. Upon learning that The Empress might be able to cure Chen Changsheng, Mo Yu requested The Empress to do her best.

However, this matter was of great importance, and even The Empress dared not claim to have absolute certainty. At this point, Mo Yu brought up the existence of Fushe, hoping The Empress would be cautious. However, The Empress paid no heed to such an obscure organization.

Little did she know, the Fushe leader, Red Robe, was currently at Tianhai Chengwu's home, tempting him by saying that once Chen Changsheng recovered his identity, the Tianhai family would not be far from confiscation of property and extermination. Although Tianhai Chengwu did not fully believe the Fushe leader's words, his heart was unsettled. The next day, he specially entered the palace to seek an audience with The Empress and ask her to establish an heir apparent.

Unexpectedly, this act thoroughly enraged The Empress, and she directly wounded him and expelled him from the imperial palace. Although The Empress did not like the Chen clan members, it did not mean she would agree to let the Tianhai family ascend to the throne. For The Empress, this world was painstakingly built by her and Human Emperor; how could she let Tianhai Chengwu benefit from it easily?

This action by The Empress caused dissatisfaction among Tianhai Chengwu and other members of the Tianhai clan. In fact, they had already secretly contacted Fushe. However, Tianhai Chengwu was not senile enough to blindly believe the Fushe leader's words. He knew The Empress possessed powerful magic; if he didn't have 100% certainty, he absolutely could not act rashly, lest he try to steal a chicken and lose the bait instead.

At this time, The Empress, due to the manipulation of the Star Array, had become increasingly deranged, no longer as wise and mighty as she once was. Her desire for power and youth made The Empress completely subservient to the Star Array's dictates, even drawing out evil desires from her heart, hoping to satisfy the Star Array with more human lives to help her gain even greater power.

Sure enough, during the morning court session the next day, merely because a court official hoped The Empress could grant a general amnesty and lenient sentencing, he was killed by The Empress's own hand. Such an act undoubtedly caused widespread panic throughout the court. But for Tianhai Chengwu, all of this was precisely what he wished for.

The more brutal The Empress became, the more dissatisfied the court officials would be, and that would be the time for his Tianhai family to rise. Meanwhile, Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong were safely staying in Li Palace under the protection of the Pope. At this moment, Chen Changsheng's inner emotions were quite complex. On the one hand, he knew that if anyone could help him defy fate and change his destiny, it would be none other than The Empress.

However, given his relationship with The Empress, he felt it was somewhat dreamlike. On the other hand, he knew that if he relied solely on his own power to defy fate and change his destiny, he would likely fail nine times out of ten. But even so, he still hoped to rely on his own strength to comprehend the Star Map, stabilize the great array, and help The Empress return to normal.

Even though The Empress had not fulfilled a mother's responsibility for a single day during his growth, from the moment he learned The Empress was his mother, he couldn't truly disregard The Empress's safety. Fortunately, no matter how bad the situation was, no matter how difficult the road ahead, having Xu Yourong by Chen Changsheng's side made him feel full of strength and confidence.

The two were deeply affectionate, a picture of true love, and all of this was seen by Luoluo, who was not far away. Envious? Undoubtedly so. Resentful? Certainly not. For Luoluo, she greatly envied Xu Yourong for being the one by Chen Changsheng's side. If time could flow backward, Luoluo would be willing to use all her strength to exchange for a childhood encounter with Chen Changsheng, but all of this could only be a fantasy.

Now, the one-month deadline was not far off; she would soon forget Chen Changsheng, forget everything. Therefore, she hoped even more that Xu Yourong could stay by Chen Changsheng's side. At least her master genuinely liked Xu Yourong. With his loved one's companionship, Chen Changsheng would undoubtedly be happy, and Chen Changsheng's happiness was her happiness.

So Luoluo specifically sought out Xu Yourong, repeatedly urging and entrusting her to treat Chen Changsheng well, to dedicate her share of love, along with her own, to Chen Changsheng. Late that night, Tianhai Chengwu met with the Fushe leader once again. Seeing that Tianhai Chengwu had come to terms with it, the Fushe leader proposed using Chen Changsheng's blood as a catalyst to refine the Mirage Moon.

This was a very special kind of poisonous incense, and two sticks would be refined at once, capable of killing people invisibly within dreams. In fact, if The Empress's blood were used to refine this incense, the effect would be even better, but The Empress, as one of the Five Sages, made it impossible for them to obtain her blood, so they settled for Chen Changsheng's blood as a secondary option.

At that time, they would only need to light this incense when The Empress was sleeping, while Tianhai Chengwu lit another stick of incense; then he could enter The Empress's dream and kill her. The next day, when Chen Changsheng meditated on the Star Map as usual, his divine consciousnesses passed through the Star Map to the location of the Star Array, where he saw The Empress's divine consciousnesses, which had clearly become somewhat weak.

Chen Changsheng's heart was filled with mixed emotions. The Empress's status destined her to be unable to care for Chen Changsheng like an ordinary mother, but as a mother, she still felt happy and comforted when facing her son. Even if it was just a meeting of divine consciousnesses, The Empress did not give up on persuading Chen Changsheng to return to her side and help her guard the Star Array together.

However, thinking of Xu Yourong's words, Chen Changsheng still harbored doubts about this. From the current perspective, the drawbacks of the Star Array far outweighed the so-called power it could bring. Therefore, he had to comprehend the Star Map as soon as possible to stabilize the great array and help The Empress. With a decision in his heart, Chen Changsheng no longer lingered.

He quickly withdrew his divine consciousnesses back into his body, but this triggered his old ailment, causing him to fall unconscious. The Pope, seeing Chen Changsheng faint, hurriedly used his cultivation to protect his heart meridians. But the Fushe leader, at this moment, burst in with a group of black-clad individuals. Their objective was clear, and they had no desire to prolong the fight.

As soon as they entered Li Palace, they headed straight for Chen Changsheng, but were stopped by Luoluo and Xuanyuan Po. Since he couldn't get close to Chen Changsheng, the Fushe leader simply decided not to forcibly take Chen Changsheng away. Instead, he abducted Luoluo and left Li Palace. Afterwards, he specifically wrote a letter to Chen Changsheng, asking him to meet alone outside the city to exchange for Luoluo.
