Nuwa listened quietly, a wisp of pure, Creation energy swirling around her fingertips.
Her gaze was deep, as if she could see through certain fragments of the long river of time. After a moment, a meaningful smile spread across her lips:
"The sun and moon unite, yin and yang complement each other... This thought aligns with the principles of the Heavenly Dao's operation."
Very well, I will accompany you on this journey to the Lunar Star.
"How fate Creation and the hearts of those two sisters."
She pondered that this was the general trend of Heavenly Dao and also the destiny of the Demon Race Fortune. As the Wa Huang the demon race, she also had the responsibility to guide it.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Nuwa!" Di Jun and Tai Yi were overjoyed upon hearing this.
Nuwa nodded, and with a gentle wave of her hand, a rainbow bridge paved with Seven-colored Auspicious Light extended from the gate of the Palace of Creation, stretching straight into the deep starry Starry Sky, its target the clear and bright Lunar Star.
The three stepped onto the rainbow bridge, their figures instantly merging into the flowing light, traversing the endless void.
The Lunar Star is quite different from the Solar Star, which shines brightly and intensely.
This place is bitterly cold, yet pure and spotless.
The vast lunar sea rippled with silvery waves, and a giant Moon Laurel Tree took root in the star's core, its branches swaying and scattering countless cool, shimmering fragments of light, exuding a refreshing fragrance. Countless magnificent palaces dotted the shores of the lunar sea and beneath the laurel tree, all constructed of cold jade and the essence of the moon, crystal clear and dreamlike.
The entire star system was shrouded in a hazy, soft moonlight, tranquil, serene, and aloof.
Where the rainbow bridge ends, there lies beneath the Moon Laurel Divine Tree and before the Taiyin Divine Palace.
A maidservant announced the arrival of the palace gates, which swung open. Two graceful figures emerged hand in hand, clad in celestial robes woven from moonlight, as if they had stepped out from the ancient moonlight.
On the left Chang Xi, whose temperament is gentle and graceful, and whose eyes are as clear as the purest moonlight, carrying a calming power to soothe the soul. She is surrounded by a soft, clear glow, like the gentlest moonlight in the night, making people forget the mundane and feel close to her.
On the right Xi He, whose appearance is seven or eight parts similar to Chang Xi, but with more radiance and heroic spirit. Her eyes are clear and sharp, like the bright moon breaking through the clouds, with a hint of scrutiny and inquiry. The clear light around her shines even brighter, with a subtle, primal, cold and majestic aura.
Their gazes first fell upon the Empress Nuwa, and they bowed respectfully.
"Greetings, Sister Nuwa."
Then, Xi He's gaze involuntarily fell on the man beside Nuwa, who was dressed in imperial robes and had the most dignified and majestic demeanor— Di Jun.
When her gaze fell upon Di Jun's eyes, deep as the Milky Way, containing the supreme majesty of an emperor yet subtly revealing sincerity and gentleness, something gently struck her heart again, and a strange and unfamiliar tremor quietly arose within her.
The feeling came so suddenly, yet so naturally, as if the origin that had been dormant for billions of years was resonating with it.
She felt her heart skip a beat, and a faint, almost imperceptible blush rose on her cool face. Her gaze instinctively tried to look away, but she couldn't help being drawn to it.
This stirring did not stem from Di Jun's power, but from a deeper, more ancient connection, a fateful attraction originating from the very source of the Greater Yang and the Taiyin Origin.
Chang Xi also sensed something, and her gentle gaze fell on Di Jun as well, her heart rippling with emotion. Unlike Xi He's intense momentary excitement, Chang Xi felt a warm and reassuring power, as if she had found some missing sense of fulfillment.
The vast and masculine aura of the emperor emanating from Di Jun did not feel oppressive at all. Instead, it strangely merged with the Taiyin Origin within her body, creating a comfortable feeling of yin-yang harmony and the balance of strength and gentleness.
She glanced at her older sister, Xi He, and from the sudden change in her sister's eyes and the subtle fluctuations in her aura, she understood that her sister shared the same senses as her.
The gentle flutter in Chang Xi's heart transformed into a faint joy and shyness. She lowered her head slightly, revealing a section of her fair and elegant neck.
When their gazes fell upon Tai Yi, who held the Chaos Bell and exuded a fierce and arrogant aura, although they also felt his powerful strength and the majesty of the Eastern Emperor, the deepest tremor from the very source of life did not arise.
It was as if destiny itself was predetermined, and the path of the sun and moon would be written between the Lord of the Sun before them and their sisters.
Di Jun also felt the gaze of those two cold eyes immediately.
When Xi He's clear eyes, which held a scrutinizing gaze and a hint of barely perceptible tremor, and Chang Xi's gentle and serene gaze, which revealed shyness and joy, fell upon him, an unprecedented and wondrous feeling instantly filled his heart.
The feeling was incredibly comforting, as if a long-wandering star had finally found its destined orbit, or as if a long-missing half had suddenly become whole.
I could clearly feel the immense Solar True Fire within my body becoming more active than ever before, emitting a joyful hum, pointing towards the opposite Taiyin Origin, without the slightest rejection, only a yearning for closeness and fusion.
This is by no means a simple romantic relationship between a man and a woman, but a resonance between the Heavenly Dao order and the fundamental principles of life!
The emptiness in her heart was filled with tenderness at this moment, and her gaze towards Chang Xi He filled with surprise and indescribable affection.
Tai Yi took in the silent yet intense spiritual resonance and shifting aura between his brother and the two goddesses, understanding seven or eight parts of the situation in his heart, and thought to himself:
"It is the Will of Heaven, truly wondrous!"
He nodded slightly to Xi He, his eyes conveying goodwill and support for his elder brother.
Nuwa observed all these subtle interactions, understood them perfectly, and her smile deepened.
"Sister Chang Xi, Sister Xi He, Fellow Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi have come here specifically for you."
Her voice was gentle, and she made the point clear.
Di Jun took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, stepped forward, Xi He solemnly bowed to Chang Xi Xixi, his voice steady and full of sincerity:
"Di Jun (Tai Yi) greets Fairy Chang Xi Fairy Xi He."
His gaze was open and sincere as he looked at Chang Xi and Xi He in turn.
"Taiyi and Tai Yi, brothers, were born from the Greater Yang, in charge of the yang and Creation, and established the Demon Court to govern the universe."
However, the Heavenly Dao is constant: isolated Yang cannot produce life, and solitary Yin cannot grow.
The Lunar Star, cool yet resilient, nourishes all things and is utterly indispensable to the Primordial Wilderness.
My brother and I have long admired the two fairies. Today, we have dared to, through the presence of our Fellow Daoist Nuwa, personally come to this precious star to humbly request your mercy and to grant us this auspicious union.
I, Di Jun, hereby swear that if I have a fairy as my companion, I will treat her with all my heart, respect and love her, shine as brightly as the sun and moon, and live in harmony with her, never betraying her!
"To rule the stars with the fairy, to share glory and honor, to establish order and moral principles for all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness!"
Tai Yi also bowed and said loudly:
"Tai Yi also swears on behalf of his elder brother to this emperor that the gates of the Heavenly Court will forever be open to his two sisters-in-law, that the sun and moon will shine together in the heavens, illuminating the Primordial Wilderness, for this is a match ordained by heaven!"
"May the two fairies grant us this beautiful love story."
Sensing its master's will, the Chaos Bell emitted a deep and majestic chime, resonating with the surrounding moonlight, as if bearing witness to the oath.
Di Jun's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm moonlit sea, stirring up huge waves in the hearts of Chang Xi and Xi He.
The grand ambition (to jointly rule the stars and establish the order of things), the sincere intention (to treat each other with sincerity, respect and love), and the Heavenly Dao principle of "the sun and moon shining together, yin and yang working together" contained in the oath resonated deeply in their hearts.
