The depth of Changxi's bond with the Great Golden Crow is unknown to anyone but themselves.

But everyone could see that the Great Golden Crow's feelings for Hao Jun were a mixture of respect and admiration, while his feelings for Changxi were affection and filial piety.

The Great Golden Crow forbids anyone from saying a bad word about Changxi, not even a single unintentional slander.

It is no exaggeration to say that in Wu Jun's harem, which had so many goddesses and concubines,

The reason Changxi's position as Empress was so secure was secondary to her relationship with Hao Jun; the attitude of the Great Golden Crow was the most crucial factor.

There are even rumors that, before their identities as the Heavenly Emperor, Heavenly Empress, and Crown Prince, they were first and foremost a family of three.

This glaring uniqueness is a fact that even Heng'e has to acknowledge.

Sometimes, even Heng'e felt a little jealous of the favoritism the Great Golden Crow received.

After all, while Heng'e received a lot of maternal love, she didn't receive much paternal love from Wu Jun.

At least in Heng'e's eyes, what she longed for more than the silent, mountain-like fatherly love was Wu Jun's undisguised praise and expectations. Alas, such fatherly love only existed in the Great Golden Crow.

Let alone Heng'e, the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor, even the other nine Golden Crow never received the kind of fatherly love from Wu Jun.

Under these circumstances, one can imagine the depth of the bond between the Great Golden Crow and the Heavenly Emperor.

"Lingxi, you shouldn't have helped them leave here."

Lying weakly on his bed, Changxi sighed and gazed down at the Lingxi.

Lingxi is the goddess of dawn, Wu Jun's most beloved concubine, and also the mother of the future Guhuo Bird Gouxing.

Of course, at this stage, Gouxing is still just a baby, and Lingxi has not yet received Wu Jun's exclusive favor.

More often than not, Lingxi was Changxi an accompaniment to Changxi, the moon goddess, and an inconspicuous one among the many goddesses and concubines.

However, there are special reasons why Lingxi was able to gain Changxi's trust.

For example, if they hadn't persuaded Lingxi, Chang'e and the others would never have been able to leave the Sixth Heaven.

Even if a powerful enemy invades the Heavenly Emperor's Capital, this Sixth Heaven can still guarantee their safety.

"Sister, I think Chang'e and the others are right. The Crown Prince and the Eldest Princess shouldn't continue fighting like this."

"If they continue like this, they'll both suffer losses sooner or later, which is not something anyone wants to see."

"Besides, your health is deteriorating, and the Heavenly Emperor is not here; someone must take care of you."

With an innocent expression, Lingxi raised her head, and her words represented the thoughts of the vast majority of goddesses in the Sixth Heaven.

Looking at Lingxi's silly and adorable expression, Changxi helplessly closed his eyes.

Changxi knew that the goddesses like Lingxi had no idea what the truth was or what the essence of the war was. They only saw the surface situation.

All I saw was the increasingly fierce struggle between the eldest prince and the eldest princess.

This is the biggest difference between a virtuous wife and a mere pretty face, and it's also a major reason why, despite Changxi being the Empress, Lingxi could only ever be Wu Jun's favored concubine. "Ultimately, it's all my fault; I failed to keep a close eye on the princesses."

Shangyi slowly stepped out from behind Changxi, Shangyi voice timely interrupting Lingxi's confusion.

Shangyi was a servant deity of Changxi.

She is also the only goddess in this Sixth Heaven who does not have a close relationship with Hao Jun.

Although no deeds or fame have been passed down to posterity, her fighting prowess far surpasses that of Lingxi and other such pretty faces.

Especially with Changxi seriously ill, this attendant deity can be considered the strongest combat force in the Sixth Heaven at present.

"That's enough. What's done is done; there's no point in continuing to pursue accountability."

Opening her eyes again, she saw Changxi, despite her illness, displaying a rare air of authority and decisiveness befitting her status as "Empress Dowager." "Shangyi, the gates to the ' Heavenly Emperor's Capital ' are being forcibly opened."

"This Sixth Heaven has developed loopholes again due to Chang'e and the others' willfulness; a powerful enemy will appear sooner or later."

"I am currently seriously ill and have not yet recovered, so I am truly powerless to stop the powerful enemy. Therefore, I will hand over control of this Sixth Heaven to you." Changxi paused slightly at this point.

"I don't ask you to repel the enemy, but you must ensure everyone's safety..."

"If necessary, we can abandon this Sixth Heaven, or even the Heavenly Emperor's Capital."

Upon hearing this, not only Shangyi looked astonished, but even the seemingly clueless Lingxi realized the enormity of her mistake. "Is... it really that serious?"

Lingxi instinctively opened her mouth wide, suddenly regretting why she had helped Chang'e and the others sneak away.

"The situation is far more serious than you imagine."

With a wry smile, Changxi didn't try to hide anything this time.

Or rather, things have already developed to this point, and continuing to cover it up would not only be pointless, but could also lead to even worse consequences.

"Although the struggle between the Crown Prince and the Eldest Princess is fierce, both sides know where their bottom lines lie."

"As long as the Heavenly Emperor is alive, no matter how fierce their struggles become, someone will always be there to protect them."

"But the Heavenly Emperor's enemies have no such bottom line; they will only exterminate anyone related to the Heavenly Emperor."

Changxi gave Lingxi a deep look and said slowly.

"Do you think Chi would let us go, given that such a powerful enemy was able to force his way into the Heavenly Emperor's Capital and even into this place?"

As if to confirm Changxi's words, a sudden tremor occurred in the Heavenly Emperor's Capital.

This tremor spread from the First Heaven— the Heaven of the Grand Sovereign and Yellow Emergence— all the way to the Sixth Heaven. Instead of diminishing, the tremor intensified over time.

Just as Lingxi realized something was wrong, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky of the Heaven of the Seven Luminaries and Moyi.

Rumble...

It was as if thunder had shattered the sky.

An almost terrifying Netherworld Qi emanated from those cracks, annihilating everything in its path and causing the emergence of dead souls.

In just a few breaths, all the goddesses of the Heaven of the Seven Luminaries and Moyi were alarmed.

The more aggressive among them chose to act decisively, attempting to resist that terrifying Netherworld Qi.

But many more goddesses chose to scream and run away, behaving much like ordinary people, showing no divine demeanor whatsoever.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter what these goddesses experienced in the first half of their lives.

After becoming Wu Jun's concubine, she was essentially kept under house arrest.

Mortals live no more than a hundred years, and their personalities can undergo a complete 180-degree transformation. These goddesses, however, have been kept in captivity for far more than a hundred years. Having lived in luxury for so long, the fact that some of them dared to rebel speaks volumes about their past ferocity. Boom!

Just then, another loud bang echoed throughout the Heaven of the Seven Luminaries and Moyi.

As the loud noise rang out, the stars of the Heaven of the Seven Luminaries and Moyi began to rotate.

Then the stars transformed into golden-armored warriors, charging fiercely towards the cracks in the sky.
