"This way, the gods of the Douluo Divine Realm won't be able to use the central power of the Divine Realm, and they'll also lose a top-tier God King-level combat force. When the time comes, it'll be two against one, and our chances will greatly improve."

"Brother Gong Changwei, I know you're kind-hearted and don't want to see bloodshed. But if we don't act, either the Six Divine Realms or the Douluo Divine Realm—or both—will eventually be destroyed by the chaotic currents of time and space. All the gods of the Seven Divine Realms will perish in the divine realm turbulence," Ye Yinzhu said earnestly.

Hearing this, Gong Changwei sighed and said, "Then we have no other choice. I'll leave this matter in your hands. I'm going to check if there are any problems at the convergence point of the Six Divine Realms."

After Gong Changwei left, the Immortal Emperor Hailong asked, "Qin Emperor, when are we taking action? I can't wait to wipe the arrogance off that Chaotic God King from the Douluo Divine Realm!"

Ye Yinzhu gave a mysterious smile and replied, "Brother Hailong, don't be impatient. Right now, the Douluo Divine Realm doesn't trust us. If we act now, Destruction will likely not come alone. We must wait for the right moment. Destruction may be cautious, but he knows only by uniting the powers of the seven divine realms can we withstand the oncoming time-space storm. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. When the storm approaches and survival is at stake, we'll extend our invitation—Destruction will definitely come."

Starfall Pavilion

Little Doctor Immortal gazed at the black stone tower in the back mountain where Xiao Yan lay dormant and murmured, "It's been a year… Xiao Yan, are you still not awake?"

A year had passed. The Demon-Slaying Alliance had allied with the Spirit Hall, the Tianming Sect, the Ice River Valley, and dozens of other large and small forces. Their combined strength had grown tremendously. Logically, it would take only a flick of a finger to crush Starfall Pavilion, yet in this entire year, they hadn't made a move. Neither Yao Chen nor Venerable Feng could understand why.

Although Starfall Pavilion hadn't encountered a direct crisis, their territory and influence had significantly shrunk. Of the already limited number of disciples, nine out of ten had left the sect. The remaining disciples mostly secluded themselves within the Pavilion, immersing themselves in cultivation. With fewer responsibilities and aided by Yao Chen's pills, Venerable Feng even managed to break through to the rank of Five-Star Dou Zun.

Boom!

A powerful wave of Dou Qi surged from the stone tower in the back mountain, and the entire mountain trembled violently.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The commotion drew the attention of many Starfall Pavilion powerhouses. One figure after another flashed from all directions, ultimately gathering midair, their eyes filled with shock and suspicion as they stared toward the back mountain. Vaguely, they sensed a terrifying aura, like a slumbering dragon slowly awakening.

Two elderly figures also quickly appeared in the sky, their gazes fixed on the movement around the stone tower. When they felt the terrifying aura, a flash of uncontainable joy passed through their eyes.

"This aura... it's Xiao Yan! That guy… he's finally waking up?!"

Sensing the commotion, Little Doctor Immortal's cheeks lit up with an expression of excited joy. After a whole year, there was finally a response!

A massive purple-brown dragon, nearly a hundred meters long, was coiled around the stone tower. Dense dragon might spread across the area, causing many onlookers to feel weak at the knees.

Atop the dragon's coiled forehead, a thin figure gradually emerged. From his body emanated a vast aura, the Dou Qi fluctuations indicating the rank of One-Star Dou Zun.

In the sky, the young figure stretched lazily. At that moment, the skin on his body rippled, and the bones within emitted crisp, mechanical-like clicks and grinding noises, as if a complex mechanism had been activated inside him.

"How did I end up here? So… this is the power of a Dou Zun?"

Xiao Yan slowly clenched his hand, feeling the vast, ocean-like Dou Qi within him. He couldn't help but be fascinated. This kind of power carried an intoxicating allure—so many people had devoted their entire lives in pursuit of it.

"Xiao Yan!"

"Teacher… Little Doctor Immortal… Elder Feng… everyone."

Xiao Yan gave a calm smile, pushing down the bitterness in his heart after recalling everything he had learned in the Dou Sheng ruins—how Gu Xun'er's memories had been destroyed by Qian Renhan. He said, "Teacher, I can now refine a new body for you."

Inside the Stone Tower

"I didn't expect so much to have happened on the continent over the past year. Teacher, we're about to begin refining your new body. Are you ready?" Xiao Yan's gaze was complicated as he gently placed the fully purified remains of the Five-Star Dou Zun—now cleared of all toxins—onto the stone platform. He then turned toward Yao Lao and spoke.

"Mm." Yao Lao gave a solemn nod. Even with his deep cultivation and calm state of mind, a ripple of emotion still stirred within him at this moment.

After Venerable Feng left the stone tower, Yao Chen asked, "Xiao Yanzi, is something bothering you?"

"As expected, nothing escapes Teacher's eyes." Xiao Yan gave a bitter smile and recounted what had happened at the end of the Dou Sheng ruins. "Teacher… Xun'er no longer remembers me. And the person responsible is Big Brother. What should I do?"

Yao Chen knew very well how much Gu Xun'er meant to Xiao Yan. Her memory loss at the hands of Qian Renhan was no less painful than when Han Feng betrayed him. With a faint smile, he said, "Xiao Yanzi, in my opinion, that little girl losing her memory may actually be a blessing."

"A blessing?" Xiao Yan looked puzzled.

"Based on what you've told me—her status among the Gu Clan, the fact that they sent her to retrieve the Tou She Ancient Emperor's Jade from the Xiao family—it's clear she holds a special position. And yet, despite that, her cultivation level was only at the Dou Shi stage."

Yao Chen paused for a moment in thought and continued, "For someone of her age and from an ancient clan like the Gu Clan, that level of strength is far below average. If I'm not mistaken, that little girl always believed in your potential to regain your talent. To avoid hurting your self-esteem while you were recovering, she deliberately suppressed her cultivation progress and concealed her true strength."

"What a foolish girl, always doing such foolish things." As Xiao Yan listened, the imprint of Gu Xun'er etched even deeper into his heart, filled now not only with longing but also with guilt.

"Xiao Yanzi, I know you truly care for Xun'er. But in the eyes of ancient clans—especially one as powerful as the Gu Clan—love alone means nothing. Everything depends on strength. If the Gu Clan had discovered that their prized daughter had fallen for a mere boy in Wu Tan City, a kid still struggling against the other two major clans, the younger generation of the clan would have surely sent people to eliminate you. Given Qian Renhan's nature, he clearly knew Xun'er's identity, and yet he didn't kill her—instead doing what he did. This was most likely a desperate attempt to protect you and me."

Yao Chen spoke this half-truth with a sigh. Given his understanding of Qian Renhan, even without thinking, he knew wiping Gu Xun'er's memories wasn't some benevolent act meant to protect them.
