Chapter 552: The End of Reincarnation ⑦
The two little girls' attention was interrupted by the voice at the same time. They ran to the lotus pond one after the other. In the rippling pond water, the faint ring pattern behind Su Mohui's ear was reflected, overlapping with the shadow of the black bird on Xuanyuan Mingshu's collarbone to form a complete totem.
Xuanyuan Mingshu stretched out her finger and lightly touched the water surface. The koi fish rippled as her finger moved. The power of the Xipan Church was slowly being devoured by the black bird pattern.
"My name is Xuanyuan Mingshu."
"I'm Su Mohui."
The two girls smiled at each other in the steaming summer heat, unaware that the collision of their spiritual powers had already torn an imperceptible crack in the barrier of the Luoshen Palace.
Deep in the crack, the conspiracy scroll of the 53rd seat of the Xipan Church ignited a strange blue flame because of the appearance of the Xuanniao mark.
............
The turmoil just now passed quickly. After Xuanyuan Ming calmed down for a while, he called the palace servants to clean up the debris in the lotus pond.
Qi Mo and Shen Jia'an also symbolically exchanged names with her. After all, they all knew each other in their previous life before reincarnation. Now, it was only Xuanyuan Mingshu who had not entered reincarnation.
Xuanyuan Mingshu was a talkative person, and when the conversation was getting exciting, she suddenly grabbed Su Mohui's hand and said, "By the way, I'll take you to see the stars!"
Without waiting for anyone to answer, he dragged Su Mohui towards the imperial study.
Qi Mo and Shen Jia'an, who were following closely behind, saw that direction, smiled at each other tacitly, and stopped at a fork in the road for two seconds before walking in the other direction.
The chirping of cicadas, wrapped in the summer heat, swirled in the imperial garden. Xuanyuan Mingshu's skirt, which was rising and falling, suddenly stopped as it brushed past the bronze lamppost.
Her pale fingertips traced the Luoshen constellation on the lamp holder, and her moonlight-like eyes misted over. "Last winter solstice, Dean Shangguan carved a star track here, saying it was the key to summoning the North Star messenger."
Her voice was so soft that it seemed to be blown away by the wind. The jade hairpins in her hair made tiny noises as they trembled, which made Su Mohui feel distressed.
Su Mohui's eyes followed the movement of her fingers, sweeping across the shadow of the lamppost, but her pupils suddenly contracted - beneath the peeling copper rust, there was a micro-carving of the Great Qin Yanling Formation that was exactly the same as the one in the library of the Imperial Capital Academy.
What was even more shocking was that the miniature gear embedded in the center of the formation was emitting the same cold light as the mark of the Xipan Church, and the edge of the gear was still stained with the spiritual power debris that had just been expelled.
"Didn't you say just now that you wanted to see the stars? Do you want to see real stars?" Su Mohui raised the corners of her lips gently, but the ring on her wrist was shining strangely under her wide sleeves.
Seeing Xuanyuan Mingshu nod expectantly, she subtly clenched her right hand, which held the power of the underworld, and slowly approached the lamppost. The moment her palm touched the center of the formation, the system notification tone suddenly vibrated in her cochlea.
[Ding Dong: Remnants of an alien formation have been detected for the host! Warning! Warning! Warning! Risk level increased.]
Su Mohui's smile deepened. Sixty percent of the Netherworld's power, wrapped in the Soul-Destroying Technique, flowed through her fingertips. The gears inside the bronze pillar made a teeth-grinding "clicking" sound when it reached her sea of consciousness. She saw...
The entire lamppost suddenly trembled, and the stars on the Luoshen constellation map lit up with dazzling golden light one after another.
The cold light of the North Star, the scarlet of Sirius, the amber of Arcturus... countless points of light intertwined into a rotating galaxy in the night sky, and the shadows of the two girls on the ground were distorted into the shape of a black bird with outstretched wings.
Xuanyuan Mingshu took a half step back in amazement, but he didn't notice that Su Mohui's forehead was already covered in cold sweat.
She discovered that the stars that lit up one by one completely overlapped with the star track patterns on Qi Mo's silver ring.
"Sister Mo Hui, are you the messenger of God?" Xuanyuan Mingshu's exclamation was mixed with the rustling sound of jasmine flowers blown by the hot summer wind.
Su Mohui smiled without saying anything, but when she looked at the fully activated star map, she found that the red and white mark of the Xipan Church was emerging in a dark pattern somewhere.
She calmly withdrew her numb right hand, feeling a slight pain in the rings on her wrist - this seemingly harmless star map was clearly another chess piece buried in the palace by the Lord of Light!
And she didn't know whether her action just now had triggered a more dangerous mechanism.
.......
Shen Jiaan and Qi Mo had just walked on the cobblestone official road when they suddenly noticed that the jasmine flowers in the entire imperial garden began to grow in the reverse direction. The white and red stamens rolled back in the wind, revealing the Xipan mark engraved deep in the flower stand.
"This is...the coordinates used by the Lord of Light to anchor the puppet godhead." Qi Mo narrowed his eyes slightly. That old dog of Light was previously sent into reincarnation by Su Mohui, but now he is still restless?
Or has the old dog of light also entered this cycle of reincarnation?
When he thought of this, the silver ring on his waist suddenly started spinning wildly, then grew bigger and was put on his wrist. When he reacted, he pulled Shen Jiaan and quickly found Su Mohui's location.
At the same time, Su Mohui's rhino horn hairpin emitted a light, and the amber on the hairpin head suddenly reflected Qi Mo's silver ring spinning wildly. The star track patterns resonated with the star map of the lamppost, forming a three-dimensional model of the three major nodes of Luoshui in the void.
"The gears... are also rotating backwards," Shen Jia'an cursed in his heart, and suddenly pointed at the lamp holder and exclaimed in surprise. The micro gears at the center of the formation actually started to rotate counterclockwise. With each rotation, a muffled thunder-like roar came from the direction of Luoshui in the distance.
Su Mohui felt the rings on her wrist grow hot again. The pain she had felt when activating the star map just now hadn't subsided but had intensified. The next second, the system notification sound, accompanied by the noise of electricity, exploded in her ears.

Before she could move, Xuanyuan Mingshu suddenly grabbed her sleeve and pointed at the jasmine stand with trembling fingertips: "Those shadows... are moving!"
I saw the shadows of the flowers crawling and twisting on the ground, forming the red and white colors of the Xipan Church, and the center of the totem was the palm print that Su Mohui had just pressed on the center of the formation.
Qi Mo and Shen Jia'an arrived at Su Mohui's place at some point. As the former approached the lamppost, he pressed the silver ring in his hand against the gap in the star map and whispered, "This is Xipan's 'Star Reversal Ceremony.' They're trying to shake the laws of heaven by tampering with the star paths."
Su Mohui suddenly remembered the book "Records of the Invasion of Extraterritorial Divines" in the library, and subconsciously touched the ring on her wrist, where a ray of red light was emitting.
And when the light of the North Star on the lamppost swept across the black bird mark on Xuanyuan Mingshu's collarbone, a clear phoenix cry suddenly rang out, startling the koi in the pond into flying into the air.
Their scales actually reflected the illusion of the Luoshui Festival scene: Li Qiuyue was walking towards the altar with the Heavenly Dao Jade Slip, and the gear patterns on the surface of the jade slip were exactly the same as the lamppost array eye in front of them.
"Not good!" Shen Jia'an suddenly drew the dagger from his waist. The blade reflected Shangguan Lie's figure wandering outside the Yangxin Palace. The red and white pattern of the Xipan Church flickered on the blade. "Shangguan Lie has also broken the rules. He is monitoring the star map for unusual movements!"
Su Mohui's gaze suddenly turned cold as she watched the North Star on the star map shift three degrees. That position was the location of the Luoshui Festival.
She suddenly turned around and held Mingshu's hand, transferring the remaining 40% of her netherworld power into his body. Facing his puzzled eyes, she said gently:
