I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 180. Star Position Devouring
Sudden——

The snow-white tail loosened its ankle and instantly retracted into the star-patterned skirt along the slender white calf.

Xia Feng blinked, slowly raised his head, and met the eyes of the woman on the throne.

Di Si looked down at him expressionlessly, and the atmosphere suddenly became strangely quiet. However, after a while, Di Si lowered her gaze to Xia Feng's abdomen and changed the subject: "My believer, why do you have another divine aura on you?"

Xia Feng paused for a moment, then nodded while clutching his stomach: "Oh right, I almost forgot, Lord Dragon God, can you remove this mark?"

"Come forward."

Following the command of the woman on the throne, Xia Feng returned to the throne, and Di Si gently touched his abdomen with the pad of her index finger.

Instantly, a golden ring the size of a navel emerged from his abdomen, and a terrifying divine pressure emanated from it, causing the branches of the World Tree to rustle.

But under the gentle touch of Miss Evil Dragon's cool, soft palm, he instantly regained his composure.

“Eternal Day”.

Di Si raised her small face, her vertical pupils looking at Xia Feng with some doubt, "I remember that Yong Zhou should have already perished."

"Huh?" Xia Feng was taken aback, then shook his head. "I don't know either, but it's a mark placed on me by someone who claims to be the Goddess of Eternal Day."

Xia Feng didn't hide anything and briefly explained his relationship with Gong Changyi, as well as his vague memories.

"Is that so?" The woman on the throne nodded thoughtfully, but her gaze toward Xia Feng was even more puzzled.

She had long sensed that the believer's spiritual artifact was imbued with the aura of the Star God of Life, and that knife also possessed the aura of a deity, seemingly related to cause and effect, but she couldn't recall which god it was.

Now, a third divine aura has appeared on this believer: Eternal Day.

The fact that so many star gods are involved clearly indicates that her sole follower is involved in a very complex web of cause and effect, and is far from simple.

While pondering, Di Si tapped the armrest of the throne and nodded, saying, "Yong Zhou has already perished. Either He faked His death, or His authority was seized by this human named Gong Changyi. But either way, it's not a good thing for you."

Upon hearing this, Xia Feng immediately perked up his ears to listen to Di Si continue her explanation:

"Based on your description, Gong Changyi wants to capture you to become the Holy Son of Eternal Day. This is very likely her preparation for retaking the Twelve Palaces of the Astral Realm."

"The Twelve Zodiac Signs?" Xia Feng was stunned. "What are these?"

Di Si glanced at Xia Feng and said calmly, "There is a great difference in strength among the Star Gods. According to the strength classification of your human race, most of the Star Gods who are eternal in the Star Boundary are at the eighth level."

"Above that are the twelve ninth-order star gods, also known as the twelve main stars, who form the twelve palaces of the star realm and govern the three realms."

"However, after the day of the star's fall, almost all of the eighth-order star gods were wiped out, and the twelve main stars either fell or were sealed away. It is estimated that there are not many of them active in the outside world now."

Di Si spoke casually, but Xia Feng's eyes widened in shock. Almost all the eighth-tier gods were wiped out? And only a few ninth-tier gods remained? What kind of Ragnarok is this?!
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Xia Feng still had some doubts after digesting this information: "But what does Gong Changyi's entry into the Twelve Palaces of the Star Realm have to do with me?"

"Star positions devour each other".

Di Si explained, "The only way to advance from the eighth to the ninth rank is through Star Position Devouring, also known as Star Position Twins. Two Star Gods with complementary powers merge into one using a special method, giving them a chance to advance to the ninth rank."

"Huh?" Xia Feng opened his mouth. This is outrageous! This method of advancement is too abnormal!
"Therefore, all twelve main star gods are twin gods, and each god's ascension method is different. You probably have some 'special quality' that met the conditions for being devoured by Gong Changyi's star position, so by 'devouring' you, she has the opportunity to enter the twelve palaces of the main star realm."

"But you should be safe now. Even if she wanted to eat you, she'd have to wait until you reach the seventh or eighth rank before she makes a move."

Xia Feng was a little confused. He rubbed his forehead. So, so this woman surnamed Gong said that once he became the Holy Son of Eternal Day, she would give him all kinds of resources. She wasn't just fooling him; it was true!

Because the cat plans to raise him to level seven and then devour him?!

How vicious! How utterly vicious!
Wait, that's not right either. Xia Feng suddenly paused. If Gong Changyi really had the ability to train him to the seventh rank, that wouldn't be a bad thing. He could just summon the great Dragon God and kill this evil woman!
Thinking of this, Xia Feng shook his head again. The method was indeed good, but the risk was still too high.
Gong Changyi clearly possesses powerful mental abilities, capable of subtly bewitching his target. He would likely still be unable to resist Gong Changyi's influence, unless Mu Shen was by his side.
Well, so let's just play it safe for now. With Mu Shen around, even a small seventh-tier monster and an eighth-tier cricket are within our grasp.
There's no need to clash head-on with Gong Changyi. But it seems District 51 is truly unsafe to stay in. He's not worried about Mu Qingtong, it's just that... (The sentence is incomplete and ends abruptly).
After a moment of contemplation, Xia Feng looked up and asked, "By the way, Lord Dragon God, will Gong Changyi sense when this mark is removed?"

He was afraid that eliminating the threat too early would alert the enemy.

Di Si thought for a moment and nodded: "I can cover it with a layer of divine power, and the mark structure will be automatically destroyed after ten days."

"Okay, this is good."

Ten days is enough time for him to make some preparations.

After pouring her divine power into the Eternal Day Mark, Di Si withdrew her hand and glanced at Xia Feng: "Actually, you don't need to worry too much. If you encounter danger, just use the Black Crow Feather, and I can guarantee your safety."

Xia Feng nodded. He understood the reasoning, but there was only one Black Crow Feather left, so it was best to use it sparingly.

It's such a pity, I should have plucked a few more feathers from Black Crow back then! Xia Feng thought to himself.

But at this moment, Di Si suddenly said, "Alright, human, you've answered your question. Now it's my turn to ask you one."

"Ok?"

"I would like to know which other star gods are still active in the outside world?"

Although he didn't know why the Dragon God was asking these questions, Xia Feng answered all his questions: "As far as I know, the three Star Gods, Black Moon, Element, and Justice, possess a Papacy and are known as the three major Papacies of the Empire, which are the most well-known among people."

"Black Moon, it seems she's still alive." Di Si nodded thoughtfully.

Xia Feng blinked: "I also heard that the Black Moon Goddess has been corrupted by something, and the Black Moon Church has been in a lot of chaos lately."

"pollute?"

"I heard about it from a prospective saintess of the Black Moon Church, but that's all I know." Xia Feng shook his head, puzzled. "Do you know the Black Moon Goddess?"

Di Si was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "You can understand it as her being my subordinate. If you become her enemy in the future, you can use my [real name] to deal with her, and she should not dare to lay a hand on you."

"Oh wow, Black Moon is actually a subordinate of the Dragon God?!" Xia Feng's eyes lit up: "Then besides Black Moon, who else is the Dragon God's subordinate?"

"The Chaos Star God, but he has probably already perished."

Black Moon and Chaos. Xia Feng smiled, firmly remembering the names of these two star gods.

"Alright, Xia Feng, it's time for you to leave." Di Si sat back down on her throne. Every time Xia Feng came, her desires would inexplicably surge, and she had to spend time suppressing them again.

Thinking it over, she calmly glanced at Xia Feng with her vertical pupils, and raised her hand to forcibly drive him away.

Feeling the fluctuations in the surrounding space, for some reason, Xia Feng suddenly recalled the evil dragon lady he first met, whose bright smile was still imprinted in his mind.

"Wait, Lord Dragon God, I have one last thing to say."

"Hmm?" Di Si raised her majestic vertical eyes slightly, only to see Xia Feng's spirit body rapidly dissipating from the soles of his feet. "To be honest, I've never seen you smile before, but you look really beautiful when you do."

The body dissipated, leaving only a transparent face with a sincere smile: "So you might as well smile more often in the future."

Xia Feng's soft voice gradually faded away, and his spirit body suddenly disintegrated, drifting into the air.

Beneath the World Tree, atop the highest throne.

The woman in the star-patterned dress sat motionless, lost in thought, and silence returned.
