Quan Ji, with a look of utter anticipation, asked, "Huh? What even bigger miracle?"
Jun Lin and Xi Zhi exchanged a glance and smiled: "As Shen Lan grows up, we have discovered that his appearance is exactly the same as that of the founding emperor of our Xingyuan Empire... It is as if it were destiny, a miracle among miracles. The founding emperor of the Xingyuan Empire has returned to Xingyuan, and his strength and talent are unparalleled in the world. At that time, the astrologers of our Xingyuan Empire foresaw that... Shen Lan's return was destined. In his destiny, he will wait for an imperial star to descend and assist the imperial star... to unify the world."
"Unifying the world is undoubtedly the wish and grand ambition of every ruler of our country. However, in the past five hundred years, no one or no country has been able to achieve it. Even though we know that Shen Lan will not be the one to unify the world, we still look forward to the day when the world is unified."
"Therefore, fate cannot determine everything, but everything may be preordained."
"Just like now, Shen Lan has finally found the love of his life, the imperial star, and the opportunity to unify the world."
“Young Miss, Shen Lan, we actually know about your situation. The fate of the only Saint-Sealer was foreseen as early as Ragnarok. Shen Lan has been depressed recently, and we have already noticed the signs. We are here today to talk about it, firstly to share our joy over the years, and secondly... to give Shen Lan some reassurance.”
Xi Zhi patted Jun Chenlan on the shoulder and said, "The little radish head of yesteryear has grown up now, and the Queen Mother is very pleased... Now, a great calamity is about to befall the world. Although we, the various beings of Noah Continent, cannot reverse the situation, we will do what we can."
“Chen Lan, no matter who you are or what you will become in the end, you are still our child. The eagle has grown up, and it is time for you to spread your wings and protect everything you want to protect. And we... will protect you and protect this world with you.”
They knew that the founding emperor was the god they worshipped in Xingyuan, the Star God.
They also knew what significance the Star God carried.
At this moment, Jun Linjian also came over and patted Jun Chenlan on the shoulder:
"Child, do not underestimate yourself. We have seen everything you have done along the way. Do you still remember the spirit of our Star Abyss Empire?"
Jun Chenlan's eyes were already slightly red. Only now did he realize that he had always been a flower protected in a warm greenhouse, and that his father and mother had kept so many secrets for his sake.
As the only prince of the Star Abyss Empire, he naturally knew the spirit of the Star Abyss Empire:
"To offer my light to every dark part of the heavens."
"Dedicate your love to all beings with selfless love."
"The meaning of stars is dedication."
This is the spirit that the Star Abyss Empire has possessed since its founding.
For five hundred years, no one has been able to decipher its meaning, but the people of the Star Abyss Empire have always kept the word "dedication" in their hearts.
Junlin smiled and said, "Perhaps the final answer you want to know... is hidden in these words. When the founding emperor left these words, he said, 'When the stars offer up the night, that is the day when all the mysteries will be revealed.' And these stars may be the legendary zodiac constellations."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him in surprise.
"Is it related to your zodiac sign?"
Jun Lin nodded and said:
"What outsiders do not know is that beneath the throne of the Star Abyss Empire, there is an inscription."
"That was carved by the founding emperor of the Star Abyss Empire before his death."
"The Star God was unwilling to be defeated, so he transformed his divine power, soul and body into the twelve zodiac signs and stored them there. When the twelve zodiac signs adorn the night sky, it is the day when the stars of the celestial sphere shine."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened.
"The twelve zodiac signs...are they the manifestations of star gods?"
Quan Ji quickly rejected the answer: "Impossible... Although I have not yet awakened my memories, the guardian deities of the zodiac have never said anything like that!"
Just then, the little lion in the spatial pouch suddenly jumped out, blinked its eyes, and looked at the young lady: "We really don't have any memories... because even we ourselves don't know."
"But now that you mention it, I do remember something. I wonder if you remember that every constellation has a divinely bestowed weapon?"
Quan Ji nodded in astonishment.
The little lion began to explain: "Our guardian deities protect the constellations of destiny, but strictly speaking, they are not gods. The constellations of destiny have existed since the birth of the star gods and coexist with them. Among them, the twelve golden houses govern the twelve largest constellations in the sky and are the most special, giving birth to living beings that protect them."
"Aside from the twelve zodiac signs scattered throughout the world after the Emperor's death, there are only the Star God, the Emperor, and you, Miss, your three masters."
"And the divinely bestowed weapon... was conceived from its own constellation five hundred years ago when the Star God fell... and the legendary Ophiuchus constellation was also sensed by us at that time."
"If what the inscription says is true... perhaps the god who bestowed the weapon... refers to the star god. And if I'm not mistaken, the return of the zodiac to night is what the young lady couldn't even do when she died five hundred years ago—summoning Ophiuchus!"

I'm sick and not feeling well, so I'm going to sleep, sob sob.
