What?!

Lu Xiao and Shen Li heard this news and were visibly shocked.

Shen Tang made an effort to calm herself.

All of this was indeed beyond their imagination, but at least, it was better than the original ending.

Xiao Jin still has the Crystal Core.

There might still be a trace of Divine Soul left in it; as long as they find this Crystal Core, could he possibly be resurrected?!

The disappearance of Xue Yinzhou, Liu Ye’s departure, Xiao Jin’s identity as a test subject...

The answers seem to be hidden on that Alien Star they had never set foot on.

Lu Xiao and Shen Li obviously had the same thought, their expressions turning complex and heavy.

At that moment, a golden light suddenly emanated from Shen Tang’s body, and a black-gold invitation appeared in front of her.

This was the invitation obtained after killing Shen Qingli.

Originally, it only had the words "an invitation for the victor" on it, with nothing else; she never knew what it was for and had tossed it into Space, almost forgetting its existence.

And now, on the back of this invitation, a few clearer lines of information finally appeared,

—Congratulations, beautiful lady, for passing the test and earning this victor’s invitation.

—I formally invite you to attend my dance party.

—The location of the dance party is where you most want to go right now, and this invitation will take you to the final destination.

—It is a pass between two realms.

—I know you have doubts, but please don’t fear, my most esteemed guest. As long as you hold this invitation, you can attend the party set up for you at any time.

—I will always be awaiting your arrival.

Shen Tang, Lu Xiao, and Shen Li were stunned as they watched the words slowly appear on the invitation.

The System expressed fear, trembling as it said, [Host, I can feel... this invitation contains the power of the main System!]

This is an invitation from the main System!

What is its purpose?

Shen Tang also felt a chill.

To this day, she didn’t know if this main System was a friend or foe; how could she agree to this invitation and attend such a party? Wouldn’t that be walking into a trap?

Moreover, with only one invitation, it could only allow one person to go, and Shen Li and Lu Xiao would never agree to let her take the risk.

But she had to go to that Alien Star.

The Star Gate was closed, cutting off the passage between the two realms. How was she supposed to go there?

Shen Li noticed Shen Tang’s thoughts. Of course, he didn’t want her to take the risk, but he also understood that if he didn’t let her go, it would only become her obsession and mental burden.

Moreover, he had many questions himself, and perhaps only by truly stepping onto that unknown continent could he find the answers.

Shen Li hesitated for just a moment before making a bold decision, "Xiao Tang’er, if you must go, the two of us must accompany you, and we must find a safer way over."

Lu Xiao saw their resolve and knew he couldn’t persuade them otherwise, so he could only follow, "The Star Gate can’t reopen, is there another way over?"

Shen Li didn’t say everything, only, "Since the Blood Clan migrated from the Alien Star, if they could come here, there must be a way back."

It’s likely that the Blood Clan didn’t come through the Star Gate back then; the cost would have been too great, and they would have certainly been discovered. They must have another method.

Meeting her anxious gaze, Shen Li reassured her with a touch on her face, softly saying, "Don’t worry, although the prophecy book doesn’t mention this, I guess there might be clues in the Blood Clan’s murals."

Shen Tang said earnestly, "Are you planning to go to the Blood Clan’s forbidden land again?"

"Yes, I may have missed something from the murals I recorded; there might still be places we haven’t discovered. I’m planning to take another look, and it may take some time."

"Alright, I’ll wait for you."

Shen Li then left.

Whenever he secluded himself, it was as if he vanished from the world, unreachable by anyone. Shen Tang also did not disturb him, and she knew she couldn’t dwell in sorrow any longer, gradually returning to her normal life and handling state affairs.

Though they had achieved victory, the great war had resulted in heavy losses for all nations, leading to a need for manpower and material support throughout the lands. Shen Tang was busy all day. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

That day, just after wrapping up a morning meeting, she overheard some news about the Yun Family — there was talk of a female carrying a child of the Yun Family, but the expectant mother’s condition was poor, and it was feared the child couldn’t be saved.

The most famous doctors in the Imperial City had all rushed over.

Shen Tang was stunned upon hearing the news. A Yun Family child?

Such a big fuss... could it be Yun Han’s child?

She hurried over to check, and after asking around, she found it to be true.

Shen Tang felt quite surprised and a bit emotional.

Unexpectedly, Yun Han actually had a descendant, leaving some legacy behind.
