"In my name, I summon — the three-thousand-year legacy of starlight from Star Chart Island! The immortal vigil at the Edge of the Fallen Void!"

The emperors imprint on her forehead erupted with a radiance of golden light more brilliant than ever before. The remaining half of the uncovered area actually spread a little further at this moment.

Far away on Star Chart Island, on the Observatory, the unconscious Mo Yan seemed to sense something, his eyelids trembling faintly.

Across the island, all the astrolabes in the hands of the Astrologers lit up simultaneously. Without hesitation, they ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) activated the legacy formation once more, transmitting their last, most refined astral faith across the void!

At the edge of the Voids Eye, that newly born, warm glimmer also seemed to hear the call. It swayed gently, separating a slender yet incredibly tenuous thread of dark-gold light. Piercing through endless darkness and spatial barriers, it flew towards the Deep Sea Forbidden Zone!

These two forces: one vast as a river of stars, carrying the wisdom and steadfastness of an ancient legacy; the other profound as an abyssal sea, carrying the resolve and hope of one facing death to seek life.

They traversed the vast distance, pouring into Bai Cheng's body, converging into the barrier of starlight before her.

The barrier on the verge of collapse suddenly stabilized, its radiance blazing forth once more!

The light and shadow upon the barrier became clearer, more vivid.

From it, there even faintly echoed the fishing songs of Broken Shell Island, the howling winds of Sighing Cliff, the prayers from the Forgotten Corridor, the silent vows from the Edge of the Fallen Void, and the ancient chant of stellar scriptures from Star Chart Island!

"What?!" The three Purifiers showed a change in expression for the first time.

Especially the central one. He felt the corrosive bloodline he had released was actually being slowly forced back by the newly infused power within the barrier. The dark-red spots on his sword blade also began to fade.

"To actually resonate with faith so distant and fundamentally different... This woman must not be allowed to live!" The Purifier on the left spoke, his tone carrying a cold, murderous intent for the first time.

"Too late."

Bai Cheng took a deep breath. Her hands left the sword hilt, yet the blade hovered on its own, humming incessantly.

She formed an ancient and complex hand seal before her chest. It was the resonance sigil from the opening chapter of the Star Track Reforging Blueprint she had memorized in Star Chart Island's Secret Vault.

"Star Track Reforging begins with a glimmer, takes form in starlight, and culminates in... the separation of purity and corruption, the return of all phenomena to order!"

The moment the sigil was completed, the barrier of starlight before her transformed with a roar. No longer mere defense, it morphed into a massive, slowly rotating phantom of star track!

Within the phantom, five clusters of starlight served as core nodes. The newly infused legacy of Star Chart Island and the glimmer from the Fallen Void became two extending tributaries. And that dark-red blood orb and the corrosive network it represented...

...were forcibly drawn into this phantom, becoming a twisted, filthy, flawed track in dire need of correction!

"What does she intend to do?!" The Purifier on the right exclaimed, shocked and uncertain.

"She's... simulating reforging!" The central Purifier's voice was low. For the first time, gravity appeared in his dark-red eyes.

"Using herself as the catalyst, the current battlefield as the board, she's forcibly deducing the correction of local star track!

She intends to directly purify a portion of the belief network we control here, severing the foundation of the seed of world purification!"

"Arrogant!" The three Purifiers shouted sharply in unison, unable to maintain their seated postures any longer. They all rose from their thrones!

Terrifying dark-red energy erupted from their bodies like a tsunami. The entire crimson space began to violently distort and contract, pressing inward towards Bai Cheng at the center!

That seed of world purification suspended atop the crystalline giant tree throbbed with suddenly accelerated pulses, casting down an even heavier shadow and devouring force.

And at this critical juncture—

"Now!"

Within the rotten marrow mist, the Lion Star Guard's eyes blazed with intense light. The starlight spear condensed to its utmost in his hand transformed into a meteor that tore through everything. Its target was neither Bai Cheng nor the Purifiers, but...

...that seed of world purification, seventy percent complete!

"How dare filth lay hands on what belongs to the star track! Such a pure energy crystal should rightfully be claimed by my battle group and offered to the Star Lord!"

The true oriole behind the mantis had finally bared its sharpest claws.

In the deepest part of the Deep Sea Forbidden Zone, Bai Cheng's star track reforging deduction, the furious strike of the three Purifiers, and the fatal ambush by the Star Guard Battle Group — the power of these three forces was about to collide in the final spark.

Would the final step of the path of the emperor be to ascend upon the bones of her enemies, or would it be extinguished in the three-sided slaughter?

The starlight had reached the gate of the Fallen Void.

The starlight spear tore through the deep sea, piercing accurately into the very heart of the throbbing seed of world purification.

Not to destroy, but to plunder.

The dazzling power of the star track transformed into countless intricate runic chains, instantly coiling around the surface of the seed, madly siphoning the pure energy condensed from seventy percent of the Emerald Sea's faith.

The dark-red crystalline shell visibly dimmed, its pulsations becoming chaotic and weak.

"How dare you!" The furious strike of the three Purifiers was forcibly redirected at the last moment, lunging straight for the incoming starlight.

The dark-red tsunami and the starlight spear collided violently. The terrifying shockwave cracked half of the crystalline giant tree with countless fissures.

The Deep Sea Forbidden Zone completely boiled over. The viscous seawater evaporated, distorted, forming a massive, temporarily vacuum energy vortex.

However, their intervention was ultimately a moment too slow.

The Lion Star Guard had clearly planned this. His spear struck and retreated immediately, transforming into a streak of light fleeing into the distance before the Purifiers' attack could land.

But what he took with him was nearly twenty percent of the seed's original energy!

"Scum of the Star Track Battle Group!" The voice of the left Purifier twisted with extreme fury. "Once this matter is concluded, we will refine every last one of you into the Prison of World Purification!"

But for now, their primary target remained Bai Cheng.

The brief delay had allowed Bai Cheng to complete her final preparatory deductions.

The phantom of star track before her had transformed from indistinct to clear.

One could even see within it countless points of light representing the various islands of the Emerald Sea, and the star track veins connecting them — veins now tainted by dark-red stains.

"Now."

Bai Cheng pressed her hands forward in a pushing motion. The light from the emperors imprint on her forehead blazed like a burning sun. The remaining half of the uncovered area spread a little further again, leaving only the final sliver.

The star track phantom suddenly expanded like an inverted giant bowl, enveloping herself, the dark-red space where the three Purifiers stood, and even the damaged seed of world purification above!

This was not an attack, nor was it defense.

It was... a battlefield reset.

A reset on the level of laws.

Within the phantom, the scenery of the Deep Sea Forbidden Zone began to blur and fade, replaced by a vast, pure starry backdrop.

Countless silvery-white fine lines extended within the starry expanse, forming a complex and profound three-dimensional network.

This was a localized projection of the Star Track Reforging Blueprint into reality. A temporary star track testing ground Bai Cheng had forcibly constructed based on memory and resonance with her own five clusters of starlight.

The three Purifiers immediately sensed the difference. Their connection to the external corrosive network became sluggish. Their own power, derived from the seed of world purification and the despair of all living beings...

...in this temporary star track environment, seemed like rootless trees, spontaneously dissipating and being purified.

"She has temporarily assimilated this space into a domain of star track order!" The central Purifier exclaimed, both shocked and enraged. "Here, our power will be continuously weakened, while she..."

He looked towards Bai Cheng.

Indeed, the five clusters of starlight burned even more vigorously against the starry backdrop.

Those star track fine lines, originally mere phantoms, began actively absorbing the light of the starlight, becoming more solid. They coiled towards the dark-red energy masses representing the three Purifiers.

Like silver threads mending a wound, they attempted to strip and correct that filthy, flawed track from the entire system.
