Under The Empress's repeated insistence, she ultimately passed all of her cultivation to Chen Changsheng. Without cultivation, The Empress became even weaker; at this moment, she could be said to be completely lifeless. However, to be able to die with Chen Changsheng by her side was also a comfort to The Empress. At this moment, Ji Daoren, who was Shang Xingzhou, brought Yuren before Chen Changsheng and The Empress.

He knew The Empress didn't have much time, so he wasted no words, directly telling Yuren to kneel before The Empress to fulfill a son's last duty. This sudden statement shocked both Chen Changsheng and Yuren, with only The Empress and Shang Xingzhou remaining unsurprised. One couldn't believe he wasn't The Empress's son, while the other couldn't believe he actually had a mother. However, compared to Yuren's shock, Chen Changsheng also felt sadness, confusion, and turmoil.

How could he accept that the maternal love he had yearned for so many years ultimately wasn't his? The Empress saw Chen Changsheng's pale face and knew his inner pain. But to The Empress, he was also her son. Not only did she have Yuren, a bloodline of the Human Emperor, but she also had Chen Changsheng, a son who made her feel the joy of motherhood.

However, she no longer had time to spend with her sons; she would soon return to the sea of stars. Although she had many regrets – regretting that she couldn't personally witness Chen Changsheng defeat the Pope, regretting that she couldn't properly care for Chen Changsheng and Yuren – she truly ran out of time.

Under the gazes of Shang Xingzhou, Chen Changsheng, and Yuren, The Empress transformed into myriad rays of light, rushing towards the vast sea of stars, and vanished from the world forever. Her fated star also dramatically fell. Such a change even drew the attention of the White Emperor, who was far away in the demons' territory.

With the Humans in turmoil, the demons naturally couldn't remain uninvolved, especially with a major event like the fall of one of the Five Saints. The Empress had passed away, but Chen Changsheng still couldn't come to terms with his origins. Never had he wanted to know more than at this moment: who exactly he was, where he came from, and where he was headed. Only then did Shang Xingzhou slowly reveal the whole truth.

It turned out that Chen Changsheng had no parents; he was merely a vessel created by Shang Xingzhou and the Pope years ago, using Yuren's bloodline as a catalyst, all to draw away the Star Power from Yuren's body. After all, Yuren was the Human Emperor's only bloodline, and Shang Xingzhou couldn't bear to see Yuren die. He had no choice but to think of using a bloodline connection to create Chen Changsheng to save Yuren.

Another reason was that he had indeed intended to use Chen Changsheng to force The Empress to abdicate, but he never expected the Pope's ambition to grow so vast, ultimately using Chen Changsheng to kill The Empress. This was something Chen Changsheng resented, but also something Shang Xingzhou had not anticipated. When the Pope aggressively arrived at the National Academy with his men, intending to kill Yuren and Chen Changsheng, Shang Xingzhou blocked the entrance to prevent his entry.

The two master-brothers, who hadn't seen each other for nineteen years, were immediately at daggers drawn. Shang Xingzhou had already made mistakes in the past, so how could he stand by and watch the Pope harm Yuren and Chen Changsheng today? The two of them shared the same blood, both being descendants of His Majesty the Human Emperor. Shang Xingzhou's sole loyalty was to the Human Emperor, and he absolutely could not allow the Pope to do such a thing.

However, although Shang Xingzhou could block the Pope for a while, he couldn't hold him off for too long. The Pope's current cultivation realm was already close to the Divine Hidden Realm, and even Shang Xingzhou had to avoid his sharp edge.

Therefore, after briefly stopping the Pope, he took Chen Changsheng and Yuren, along with Xu Yourong and Tang Sanshiliu who had just rushed back, preparing to use the secret passage of the National Academy to leave the Divine Capital. However, Zhusha felt that this path was not safe, so she led the entire group into her cold pond to hide.

Now, the Pope had ordered his men to search everywhere for their whereabouts, so the group could only temporarily hide here. However, Tang Sanshiliu, worried about Mo Yu's safety, left the cold pond to look for her. In fact, Mo Yu's situation was indeed not good at the moment. The Pope had forcefully ascended the throne and ordered Mo Yu to issue an imperial decree to depose The Empress, which Mo Yu naturally refused.

In a fit of rage, the Pope threatened Mo Yu with the Tang family from Wenshui, stating that if she didn't submit to him, all of them would die with her. Faced with the Pope's threat, Mo Yu did not yield. Holding the imperial jade seal and decree, she declared her loyalty only to The Empress. How could she serve a usurper like the Pope?

This was precisely why the Pope dared not easily lay hands on her, as an emperor without the imperial jade seal would lack legitimate authority. When Tang Sanshiliu found Mo Yu and asked her to hide with him in the cold pond, Mo Yu hesitated. As The Empress's Imperial Decree Official, she could neither surrender to the Pope nor fail to avenge The Empress. However, she deeply loved Tang Sanshiliu.

If there was any regret, it was not truly being with the one she loved. So, when Tang Sanshiliu came for her, she mustered the courage to say: "Will you marry me?" This sudden happiness left Tang Sanshiliu somewhat at a loss, and they held the simplest wedding just like that. Red candles flickered, and with his beloved in his arms, Tang Sanshiliu felt that this moment couldn't be any happier. Mo Yu felt the same.

However, in her heart, there was a more important task to accomplish: she had to avenge The Empress. Even knowing it might be a losing battle, she had to press forward. And the Tang family from Wenshui would very likely face utter destruction because of her actions. This was something she couldn't bear yet had to bear, just as Tang Sanshiliu had to revitalize the Tang family.

Fighting for The Empress was her dignity and pride as an Imperial Decree Official. The next day's sun rose as scheduled. Mo Yu took one last deep look at Tang Sanshiliu, then donned her wedding gown and left without hesitation. In truth, Tang Sanshiliu wasn't asleep; he knew Mo Yu hadn't abandoned her desire to assassinate the Pope. So, if he was her husband, what did it matter if he faced this perilous ordeal with her?
