Under the moonlight, Li Qingshan and Xia Wuji sat together, the bonfire behind them stretching their shadows long. The evening breeze brought a slight chill.

Xia Wuji took a swig from his wine jug and said, “Back in the Human World, when the Immortal Path Golden Ranking descended, it evaluated you as the God of the Human World. I thought it was a joke, but it really turned out to be true. Now, whether in the Immortal Plane or the Human World, you are invincible.”

“God of the Human World is the best evaluation for you,” Xia Wuji said admiringly to Li Qingshan.

“Those are just external evaluations, they mean nothing,” Li Qingshan said calmly.

“How strong are you now, really?” Xia Wuji asked seriously, curious as he looked at Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan thought seriously. He didn’t have a definite answer himself since he had never fought with all his strength. So he thought for a moment and decided to share the evaluation given by the Immortal Path Golden Ranking: “God of the Human World!”

Xia Wuji pointed to the sky and said, “Look, the starry sky is dazzling. Mortals spend their entire lives unable to witness the changes in the stars. Our future lies among those stars.”

“But the galaxy is blocked, and our path is also blocked.” Xia Wuji’s tone became somber.

“Yes, our path is blocked,” Li Qingshan nodded.

“Everyone is looking forward to the arrival of the Supreme Path, but no one knows when it will come. Are we supposed to waste countless years waiting for an uncertain Supreme Path?” Xia Wuji looked at Li Qingshan, unwilling to accept this fate.

Li Qingshan looked at Xia Wuji with calm eyes and asked, “What do you want to do?”

“I want to break through the dam, I want to shatter the shackles. Even if the Supreme Path doesn’t arrive, the people of the Immortal Plane should have a way out, we should have a way out, instead of waiting for an uncertain Supreme Path for ages,” Xia Wuji said firmly, looking at Li Qingshan with burning eyes, trying to persuade him.

To break through the dam by himself was impossible, even if he was an Emperor and had inherited the Kunlun Immortal’s legacy. Facing the civilization behind the barrier alone was not feasible.

“Break through the dam!” Li Qingshan looked up at the sky, his gaze deep, staring at the distant starry river. With his current power, he could see the massive barrier spanning the distant universe, blocking the communication between the Immortal Plane and other cosmic civilizations, trapping them.

“But can we succeed?” Li Qingshan asked softly.

He wasn’t sure.

Though he held three thousand rules, Li Qingshan was still just one person.

“We have Immortal Northstar!” Xia Wuji said firmly.

Li Qingshan’s expression changed slightly, and he asked, “What do you know?”

Xia Wuji wouldn’t be saying this unless he knew something. Otherwise, how could he be confident about breaking through the barrier?

“Before I came to the Celestial Court, I received a letter from the starry sky,” Xia Wuji said slowly.

Li Qingshan’s eyes lit up. A letter from the starry sky? He thought for a moment and then said, “Is it from Immortal Northstar?”

“That’s right,” Xia Wuji nodded, not surprised that Li Qingshan guessed it.

“What did Immortal Northstar say?” Li Qingshan asked.

“He’s planning something big and wants my help. He conveyed his plan to me, whispered it into my ear, and made everything clear. After listening, I was amazed and knew that I couldn’t do much by myself. So I came to find you immediately,” Xia Wuji said seriously.

“What is his plan?” Li Qingshan asked.

“The plan is called the Great Cataclysm. The goal is clear: to destroy the dam,” Xia Wuji said.

“How will he do it? How can he do it alone?” Li Qingshan asked.

“He reincarnated, combining the power of two lifetimes, delving into the civilization behind the barrier, and aiming to break through to the Venerable Realm to cut down the dam,” Xia Wuji said.

“Can a Venerable achieve this?” Li Qingshan asked in doubt.

“Of course not. He has allies, he’s not alone,” Xia Wuji shook his head.

“Go on, I’m listening.” Li Qingshan listened seriously, very interested.

He hated the barrier as well. If there was a chance, Li Qingshan wouldn’t miss it.

But the prerequisite was that there was a chance!

Although Li Qingshan was confident, facing a civilization that could block the Immortal Plane by himself wasn’t something he was sure about.

“Do you know the Primordial Heavenly Consort?” Xia Wuji asked.

Li Qingshan’s expression changed.

Primordial Heavenly Consort.

He hadn’t heard that name for many years.

When Li Qingshan first arrived in this world, the first name he heard was Demonic Divine Concubine.

The Demonic Divine Concubine was the Primordial Heavenly Consort.

Li Qingshan’s life had changed because of her. It was also because of her that Li Qingshan became who he is today.

But Li Qingshan had never seen her before.

He only saw that young girl in the memories of his original self.

After coming to the Immortal Plane, he thought that they wouldn’t have much interaction, but unexpectedly, he occasionally heard her name.

As he lived through nine lifetimes, he did not expect to hear it again, now linked with Immortal Northstar.

“What happened to the Primordial Heavenly Consort?” Li Qingshan asked calmly, suppressing a ripple of emotion in his heart.

“She revived from the Human World and came to the Immortal Plane. Originally, the people of the Demonic sects were all waiting for her to reappear, but up until now, the Primordial Heavenly Consort has not shown herself, as if she vanished without a trace. Don’t you wonder where she might have gone?” Xia Wuji asked.
