Nuwa was in high spirits. Silu volunteered to step forward, and with Siming having set an example before him, he could only comfort himself that the pain was temporary.
Five hundred years later, Silu awoke. The Xiezhi bloodline he had fused with had healed as well, and another imposing horn had grown from his head. It resembled an antelope's horn, yet was somewhat different.
Li Fan handed the reforged "Zhou Tian Star Banner" to Silu.
Feeling how perfectly the banner suited him, Silu immediately cupped his hands toward the Heavenly Emperor and named it the "Southern Dipper Silu Zhou Tian Banner."
Twenty thousand years passed, and Nuwa successfully finished modifying the Twenty-Eight Mansions. She had taken quite a few breaks along the way to restore her depleted spiritual energy.
Nuwa's blade work was exquisite, without the slightest mistake. It left Ancestor Dragon and the others in awe, proving her worthy of the title Goddess of Creation.
Li Fan continuously reforged Zhou Tian Star Banners and distributed them to the Twenty-Eight Mansions. Taibai, Yinghuo, and the other Five Luminaries Star Gods looked on with envy. A Top-Grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure—anything produced by the Heavenly Emperor was bound to be exceptional.
Nuwa discovered that even the Sacred Origin of a Mid-Rank Divine was unimaginably lofty in essence. With her current abilities, she could only make additions upon its foundation and could not alter it at the root—for instance, changing one's sex. Hehehe.
Shi Qilin's gap with Ancestor Dragon and Yuanfeng was no small one. Eager to cultivate and catch up, he greeted the Heavenly Emperor and the others before leaving first.
Yuanfeng did not leave. By observing the Sacred Origins of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, she gained some understanding of Innate Divine Beings—the favored children of heaven and earth.
Yuanfeng fell into thought.
