Tại Hỗn Độn Thiên Đình, Phủ Cẩm Y Vệ Bạch Phong Nguyên,

Amidst the vast, grayish-green backdrop, Vương Thông's figure appeared somewhat diminutive.

These days, his life was rather good. After subduing Bạch Phong Nguyên, his time became leisurely. Although rumors of the Sen Sinh Evil God and the Arthur God Race persisted, and the threat from the Long Phu Clan was close at hand, yet for a period, nothing transpired. Though the Long Phu Clan approached his Cẩm Y Vệ Phủ, they made no significant provocative moves. As for the Arthur God Race, the place of their disturbance was not here with them. And the Sen Sinh Evil God? This fellow was always incomparably mysterious; seeking his shadow or weakness was beyond Vương Thông's current capabilities, and would even cause the Heavenly Court immense headaches. But at least, superficially, it didn't affect him.

Thus, his life was exceedingly leisurely. When free, he would visit the Heavenly Palace to interact with the other Star Officials among the Southern Dipper Six Stars. Occasionally, he would pay respects to his superiors and receive his colleagues. Sometimes, he would even accompany a group of colleagues to the lower realms, wandering through various exotic worlds to broaden his horizons. In short, his days passed in extreme comfort and ease. After all, at least until now, aside from initially offending Ngọc Thanh Chân Vương, his connections within the Chaos Heavenly Court were quite good. Through these interactions and connections, his understanding of the Chaos Heavenly Court became exceedingly rich. The more he understood this Chaos Heavenly Court, the more he admired its immense power.

Whether in the Immortal Domain Heavens or the Pangu Domain, for some powerful worlds, there was a saying to describe them: 'Nascent Soul cultivators are everywhere, Golden Core cultivators are not even worth a dog'. Yet, within the Chaos Heavenly Court, it was even more extreme: currently, the Heavenly Court was practically 'Star Lords are everywhere, Heavenly Kings are not even worth a dog'.

Indeed, in the Chaos Heavenly Court, a Dharma Idol Heavenly King was not even worth a dog. They merely held nominal positions within the Heavenly Court, serving as minor commanders during campaigns. True decision-making power did not lie in the hands of the Great Luo Star Lords, but in the hands of the even higher-ranking Chaotic Heavenly Monarchs.

Indeed, Chaotic Heavenly Monarchs! In a place like the Chaos Heavenly Court, to truly possess a certain right to speak, one needed at least the strength of a Chaotic Heavenly Monarch or higher. Below the Chaotic realm, all were but ants. Even Great Luo, though said to be immortal through myriad tribulations, would eventually vanish under the powerful erosion of the Chaotic Heavenly Monarchs' strength. It would merely take a little more time, comparatively. The more he understood, the greater his reverence and pressure became.

Fortunately, he only arrived at the Chaos Heavenly Court after his cultivation reached the Great Luo realm. Had his cultivation been lower, merely that of a Tong Thần Tôn Giả, upon reaching the Heavenly Court, he likely wouldn't even have a place to stand.

The Chaos Heavenly Court was an unimaginably vast system, with the Jade Emperor as its supreme sovereign. Under the Jade Emperor's command, the Heavenly Court system was primarily comprised of various celestial constellations. It included those enshrined in ancient times, and later, those recruited from outer domains, all being exceedingly formidable existences. His humble Ti Mệnh Tinh Quân was one of these numerous Star Gods. While seemingly possessing high status, in a Heavenly Court that revered strength, he could only serve as a minor Heavenly Guard. His other 'layers of skin' were actually brought about by his destiny star, bringing both advantages and troubles.

The advantage was that, everywhere, forming cliques was human nature, whether for gods or mortals. The group of Star Lords from the Southern Dipper Six Stars were very cohesive. Even if they hadn't known each other before, being part of the same system meant their relationships were not bad. The Southern Dipper Six Stars was merely one circle of connections. Expanding outwards, anyone belonging to the Ngọc Thanh Chân Vương's lineage was pretty much within the same system, thus they had some interactions. Outside this circle, friends and foes were mixed. Some were allies, others were clearly enemies. Internal struggles within the Heavenly Court were extremely fierce, especially at the Chaotic Heavenly Monarch level. Each had their own interests, their own small factions, and their own control over various large and small worlds. Even if they themselves didn't contend, their subordinates would, eventually implicating themselves. Not every Chaotic Heavenly Monarch was like Thái Bạch Kim Tinh who widely spread good karma and avoided forming cliques. This was also one of the reasons he became the Jade Emperor's foremost favored minister.

Of course, Thái Bạch Kim Tinh's method of widely spreading good karma, not forming cliques, and living freely seemed incomparably enviable to others. However, apart from him, no one else could achieve it, because his background was exceedingly profound, having an indescribable and inexplicable relationship with a Dao Ancestor. It was also due to this connection that he could become a special Heavenly Monarch within the Heavenly Court. Coupled with his astute social skills, he was likely the only Heavenly Monarch in the Heavenly Court without enemies.

The direct leader of the Southern Dipper Six Stars was Ngọc Thanh Chân Vương. However, their true Heavenly Monarch patron was not him; the true Heavenly Monarch patron was Tử Vi Đại Đế. This was a grand figure powerful enough to contend with the Jade Emperor. However, such a figure was beyond Vương Thông's reach, and he had no desire to contact him.

It was precisely because of the dominance of factionalism and 'mountain-top' rulers within the Heavenly Court that various forces were distinctly divided. If one didn't understand this clearly, they wouldn't even know how they had inadvertently offended someone.

Therefore, after becoming leisurely, Vương Thông began to expand his circle of acquaintances, demonstrating extraordinary social skills. He also acquired quite a few 'fox friends and dog companions'. Of course, most of these people were drinking buddies. In normal times, they might chat idly, boast, or provide useful information. However, when truly needed, not one of them could be relied upon. Even the two Star Lords, Ích Tinh and Duyên Thọ, were the same. The reason was simple: he was merely a newcomer, a fellow who had just been welcomed into the Chaos Heavenly Court from the lower realms, yet immediately ascended to the position of a Star Lord and even gained the title of Heavenly Guard for nothing. Who wouldn't feel resentful?

Therefore, even within his current network of connections, Vương Thông couldn't ascertain who harbored prejudice against him or who might stab him in the back. Hence, he had always been cautious in his words and actions, revealing no flaws.

Naturally, in the recent period, as his contact with Vương Thông in the Sương Nguyệt Giới deepened, he also began to investigate this mysterious extraterrestrial world that Vương Thông had fallen into. It wasn't because he was overly cautious, but because this extraterrestrial world gave him a sense of unease.

It was very similar to an enhanced version of the Dương Thần Thế Giới, and the remnants of the Dương Thần Thế Giới had yet to be completely eliminated. Or rather, the Chaos Heavenly Court had always been wary of such powerful entities as the Dương Thần Thế Giới, the Vĩnh Sinh Thế Giới, and even the Arthur Thần Vực, those capable of contending with it. Even though the Dương Thần Thế Giới and the Vĩnh Sinh Thế Giới had long since integrated into the Chaos Heavenly Court system, theoretical conflicts would sometimes arise between the two sides. It was precisely because the Chaos Heavenly Court had absorbed too many systems that internal factionalism within the Heavenly Court became one of the reasons for its numerous 'mountain tops'.

Overall, this was a chaotic and complex system, and Vương Thông needed time to truly integrate into it. However, it was precisely because of this system's existence that, during several drinking sessions and idle chatter, Vương Thông unexpectedly obtained information related to the Sương Nguyệt Giới. Or rather, information related to the extraterrestrial world where the Trung Ương Đại Thế Giới was located. The emergence of this news compelled him to take it seriously.

This news was obtained during a drinking session with his 'fox friends and dog companions'. In truth, it couldn't be called direct news about the Trung Ương Đại Thế Giới, but rather related information. In fact, the news didn't even mention the Trung Ương Đại Thế Giới by name, but its content was enough to alert him.

The Đông Cung Thương Long Chi Chủ had been comprehending the Thời Không Mẫu Hà for nearly 10,000 years, and now had some insights. Previously, during a demonstration of divine abilities in the Linh Tiêu Bảo Điện, he caused a temporal vortex to appear in a section of the Thời Không Mẫu Hà. The Jade Emperor was greatly pleased and bestowed rewards upon him.

It was merely such a statement, which to others, was nothing more than an anecdotal tale. But when it reached Vương Thông's ears, it was exceptionally unusual.

A vortex appearing in the Thời Không Mẫu Hà. How similar this was to his conjectures about the events in the Trung Ương Đại Thế Giới.

One must know, the reversal of time and returning to the past truly existed. However, generally speaking, it only existed within some weaker worlds. Even with his strength, within some weaker worlds, he could achieve time reversal. But the prerequisite was a weak world; the more powerful a world, the more irreversible the power of the Thời Không Mẫu Hà. For instance, within the Chaos, or within the Chaos Heavenly Court, reversing time was almost impossible.

And the Đông Cung Thương Long Chi Chủ, having dared to demonstrate the method of time reversal before the Jade Emperor, causing a vortex to form in the Thời Không Mẫu Hà, indicated that he had unique insights into the Thời Không Mẫu Hà, perhaps even comprehended some profound mysteries, which was why he piqued the Jade Emperor's interest. However, truly attempting to employ such divine abilities within the Chaos Heavenly Court was fundamentally impossible. Not to mention whether a tiny spatio-temporal vortex could truly affect the continuously flowing Thời Không Mẫu Hà, even those truly high and mighty great figures would likely not permit such an incident. Figures standing at the apex of Chaos naturally held firm convictions regarding their own experienced history. Too many secrets were buried by the river of time and space throughout history. If a certain period of history did not involve them, then they might let you fool around freely. But if this historical period was inextricably linked to you, and you were at the pinnacle of this world, would you permit others to delve into and tamper with that history? To revert and re-examine that period, and then expose your 'dark history'? Would you tolerate that? Basically, no one could tolerate it.

Therefore, within the Chaos Heavenly Court, reversing time was basically impossible. Even if one possessed such ability, they would not have the opportunity. Moreover, and most importantly, all Chaotic Heavenly Monarchs already had their own evasion mechanisms against such time reversal methods.

When they attained Chaotic enlightenment, they had already severed ties with their own past. In other words, no matter how history changed, it would not affect their present selves. Nor could anyone use great divine abilities to influence them by harming their past selves.

However, even if one were singularly unique and had severed ties with their past, no one wished for their 'dark history' to be exposed to the world.

Naturally, Vương Thông didn't care about these matters, as they weren't the main point. The key point lay in the vortex within the Thời Không Mẫu Hà. As soon as Vương Thông heard this news, he instinctively connected his conjectures about the Sương Nguyệt Giới with this spatio-temporal vortex. As a result, a peculiar thought arose. Could it be that this mysterious extraterrestrial world, the Trung Ương Đại Thế Giới, had long since been discovered by some great power, and was secretly being 'conquered'?

If that were the case, the matter would be enormous. This was the Đông Cung Thương Long Chi Chủ, a mighty figure of the Chaotic realm. Setting aside everything else, his mere status was countless levels above his own. He was on the same level as his own boss's boss, the Lord of the Northern Huyền Vũ. This was a monumental figure he could hardly hope to reach. If the plans of such a colossal figure were to be ruined by him, what would happen then?

Vương Thông didn't know, but even a fool could ascertain that this was definitely not a good thing. Therefore, although he hadn't fully confirmed whether the Đông Cung Thương Long Chi Chủ was connected to the Trung Ương Đại Thế Giới, it didn't prevent him from taking precautions, transmitting this news to the Sương Nguyệt Giới's main entity, so that the latter could be mentally prepared.
