"Woah!" A group of little ones sat on the back of the Stellar Spirit, shouting excitedly. Despite being caught, the Stellar Spirit still roamed through the Milky Way like an untamed wild horse, always trying to shake off the few kids on its back.
But running away was completely impossible for it, so it sadly became the plaything of these little ones!
Bexia was located on one of the two Stellar Rivers on the Pangu supercontinent, which was known as the Milky Way in ancient times on the Pangu supercontinent. However, after the great war erupted, the Milky Way was also destroyed, and the existing river was just a part of the Milky Way, not the real Milky Way.
Luo Ningxian came here to search for the ancient artifact, the Luo Book, which belonged to the ruling deity in the Milky Way, Luo God. That's why this Stellar River was also called the River of Luo.
Apart from Luo God, there was another ruling deity in the Milky Way, known as River God. These two deities were siblings, and the artifacts they used together were called the "River Chart and Luo Book." Although they were two separate artifacts, they were actually one entity.
If the River Chart and Luo Book were separated, they wouldn't have much surprising power, but when combined, they could channel the power of the entire Milky Way, becoming extremely powerful.
Luo Ningxian happened to gain the recognition of the River Chart by chance, becoming its master, while the Luo Book had not been found yet. The connection between the two artifacts was very weak, but it suddenly strengthened recently, prompting Luo Ningxian to come to the Milky Way to investigate.
River God and Luo God were ancient deities who possessed supreme authority and commanded the power of the Milky Way. It was said that these two artifacts were actually innate divine artifacts, born from the Milky Way itself.
"Do you feel anything, Ningxian?" Bexia called out to Luo Ningxian, as she was the only one who knew how the Luo Book reacted.
"Not really..." Luo Ningxian took out the River Chart to sense it, shook her head, and said, "It's not the first time searching, so it's normal not to find anything!"
"It's all about luck!" Luo Cailing shrugged helplessly. This was no ordinary artifact; it wasn't easy to find.
"We can't just wander aimlessly, can we?" Bexia looked at the excited little ones and felt like Luo Ningxian wasn't here to find the Luo Book but to play around.
"The direction I sensed before is over here, so let's go this way. If we can't find it, then let's give up!" Luo Ningxian pointed forward.
"Alright then!" Bexia felt that leaving this kind of thing to Luo Ningxian and Luo Cailing was not reliable at all, so she turned to Lucifer and said, "Lucifer, please keep an eye out!"
"Yes, master!" Lucifer nodded.
The journey remained relatively calm from then on, except for some unfortunate encounters with Stellar Spirits. These non-aggressive creatures were scared half to death by the little ones, with a few being caught to serve as "mounts." Beibei even took a bite, scaring a big fish away.
Stellar Spirits were abundant in the Milky Way, mostly resembling fish, while some took the form of large birds. These two forms were essentially the same, as the bird-like Stellar Spirits had evolved from the fish-like ones, making them quite a unique species in the galaxy.
"Look, there's a city ahead! Let's go check it out quickly!"
Leader Luo Cailing, at the level of Child King, ordered as a few children rode giant fish swiftly towards the vague city silhouette ahead. Bexia and Lucifer unfolded a pair of wings and followed closely behind. Despite the non-aggressive nature of the celestial beings, their speed was truly impressive.
Within the Milky Way, the energy of the stars was dense. There must be inhabitants here, as the galaxy, an ancient entity, not only contained abundant cultivation resources but also many ancient ruins or remnants of deities. The appearance of a city here was not surprising at all.
"Mingyu City!" Bexia read the name on the city gate. This was an ancient city, evident from the weathered marks that indicated its long history. Surprisingly, there seemed to be no one inside the city, while there were quite a few figures similar to them standing outside.
"There's a weak barrier ahead!" Lucifer glanced over and remarked, "This seems to be an ancient city of ruins, and the barrier's power is already very weak, about to collapse soon!"
"Oh! We're really lucky to run into something like this right after leaving home!"
"How annoying! It's just a run-down place!" Luo Cailing pursed her lips disdainfully, feeling indifferent to any ruins. As the daughter of a big shot from the Huanggu Academy, she lacked nothing.
It was like the difference between a billionaire and an ordinary person. While an ordinary person might be thrilled to come across a divine artifact, for Luo Cailing, it was just useless junk.
With such an attitude, how could Luo Cailing possibly be interested in this dilapidated city? Finding a small city was more important to her.
