The comet remained silent, only relentlessly unleashing heavenly tribulations.

Song Yi stepped onto auspicious clouds and flew forward. With a gentle wave of his right hand, starlight fell like a fine rain.

The huge wounds on the scorpion demon's body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, the broken bones were reconnected, the torn muscles wriggled and grew, and a layer of shimmering light emanated from her body, slowly forcing out the remaining blood stasis and death energy.

That starlight was no ordinary thing, but the purest essence of the sun, moon, and stars.

This item is so precious that it is no less valuable than innate spiritual energy, and it only emits a faint light when the moon and stars are bright.

In the lower realm, birds, beasts, plants, and spirits can awaken their intelligence and embark on the path of cultivation if they happen to obtain even a trace of it.

Even ordinary immortals who have accumulated a hundred years of experience would find it difficult to match the amount of energy that Song Yi just casually unleashed.

The scorpion demon struggled to her feet. Though still weak, her eyes had regained their sparkle. She forced herself to bow deeply to Song Yi, saying, "I am Gouyue Niang, and I thank you, Star Lord, for your life-saving grace!"

"Gouyue Niang..."

Song Yi nodded slightly and said calmly, "Now that you've entered my Qingtian Bureau, all past grievances will be wiped clean. Come with me to the Dragon Transformation Pool to wash away your demonic aura and rebuild your immortal bones!"

……

The thirty-first heaven of the Heavenly Court, the Dragon Transformation Brahma Heaven.

Here, clouds rise and fall in a beautiful display, and ethereal music drifts through the air.

A majestic palace stands amidst the clouds, with solemn and imposing deities guarding its entrance, their aura of menace subtly palpable.

Song Yi produced the divine decree from Taibai Jinxian, and the gatekeeper generals dared not neglect it. After verifying that everything was correct, they immediately opened the gate.

After passing through numerous corridors, a golden pond suddenly appears in the center of the main hall, covering an area of ​​ten acres and shimmering with light.

The pool water was no ordinary water, but rather had a faint golden-red hue. Upon closer listening, one could faintly hear the roar of an ancient dragon emanating from the pool, a sound that shook the soul.

Legend has it that in the primordial era, the dragon, phoenix, and qilin races vied for supremacy. Ultimately, the ancestral dragon perished, and its physical essence split into three:

A piece fell into a grotto deep in the Yellow River, which transformed into the Dragon Gate, allowing all aquatic creatures in the world to leap up.

One portion was obtained by the Western Vulture Peak and transformed into the Eight Treasures Merit Pool;

This last portion was taken by the Heavenly Court and transformed into the Dragon Transformation Pool before us.

"We are sorry for not welcoming the Star Lord properly."

Before long, a middle-aged man with prominent dragon horns on his head and wearing a green robe walked slowly, surrounded by clouds and exuding a dragon's might.

It is Ao Feng, the Nine Heavens Dragon, who guards this place.

Its original form was a green dragon, which leaped over the Dragon Gate and transformed into a heavenly dragon during the reign of Emperor Cheng Tang. After achieving perfect merit, it entered the Heavenly Court as a god and has been guarding the Dragon Transformation Pool for countless years.

"Thank you for your trouble, Heavenly Dragon." Song Yi took out the divine decree.

Then, with a flick of his hand, a golden pagoda floated in the air.

The Seven Treasures Profound Yellow Pagoda swayed in the wind, its base shimmering with mysterious light. Suddenly, it opened, and over four hundred demonic figures fell from the pagoda like dumplings being dropped into a pot, densely packed on the ground, overwhelmed by the dragon's might from the Dragon Transformation Pool.

"It's my duty, my responsibility."

Ao Feng remained calm and unmoved by these demonic creatures.

He formed hand seals, activating the restrictions on the Dragon Transformation Pool.

With a loud "splash," several pools of golden water were drawn up by an invisible force and condensed in mid-air into a huge golden water ball, which spun around.

"break!"

Ao Feng gave a soft shout, and the water sphere burst open, transforming into a shower of sweet rain that, carrying the pressure of the Ancestral Dragon's origin, gently fell upon the demons.

"Sizzle! Sizzle!"

As the sweet rain entered their bodies, the dense, impenetrable demonic energy emanating from these monsters melted and dissipated rapidly, like snow piled up under the scorching sun, replaced by a fresh and pure celestial aura.

Some aquatic creatures, such as snakes, turtles, dragons, serpents, carp, and pythons, writhe violently, their scales fall off, and they begin to grow dragon horns and claws, transforming into the form of a dragon.

Those ancient species with powerful bloodlines, such as the Suanni, Qingsi, Naoshi, and Shen'ao, although they did not transform into dragons, had a faint golden glow on their fur and ancient dragon patterns faintly appearing on their skin.

This is because their bloodline is too strong, forcibly suppressing the assimilation of dragon energy.

Song Yi secretly sighed with regret. If they had been completely immersed in the Dragon Transformation Pool, given time, they might have been able to transform into true celestial dragons.

Tianlong is a top-tier existence among dragons, with origins no less than those of ancient beings born innately, as evidenced by Ao Feng before us.

However, such consumption was enough to severely damage the foundation of the Dragon Transformation Pool.

Taibai Jinxian's original intention was simply to borrow a trace of the power of the Ancestral Dragon to help them wash away their demonic aura and shed their demonic forms, so that they would be qualified to stand in the Heavenly Court.

Half an incense stick later, the golden light dissipated, and the dragon transformation ended.

More than four hundred former monsters have now been transformed.

His demonic aura vanished completely, replaced by pure celestial energy. Standing among the other heavenly soldiers and generals, he was indistinguishable from them.

"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Tianlong!" Song Yi bowed again in thanks.

"You're too kind, Star Lord."

Ao Feng returned the greeting and watched Song Yi and his men leave.

……

Back at the Qingtianjian, Song Yi sat upright in the main seat, his gaze sweeping over the more than four hundred people standing solemnly in the hall. His expression was calm, yet he exuded an air of authority.

"Gouyue Niang," he said, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"I am here!"

The scorpion demon stepped forward and bowed in obedience.

"I hereby appoint you as the Deputy Director of the Qingtian Bureau, of the ninth rank. Together with Song Mingyuan, you will be responsible for training the Golden Armored Battalion's celestial warriors. You must know the duties of the warriors and the tasks of the celestial maidens, and you must not slack off in the slightest."

"Follow the law!" Gou Yueniang accepted the order.

"Bear King!" Song Yi's gaze turned to the burly black bear spirit.

"Your subordinate is here!" the Black Bear Spirit grumbled as he stepped forward.

"I hereby appoint you as the Commandant of the Celestial Observatory. The responsibilities of the Golden Armor Battalion's training, cultivation, and guard duties will all fall to you. What I need is a force that surpasses ordinary celestial soldiers, not a group of strongmen who can only move bricks and loosen soil. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Xiong Ba clasped his hands in a deep fist salute: "As you command! This humble general will certainly not fail the Star Lord's high expectations!"

After settling the affairs of the Qingtianjian, Song Yi left the Yellow Turban Warriors, forged by the Golden Light Holy Mother, to guard the area, and then ascended alone to the Star Gazing Platform atop the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Looking up, the vast and boundless starry sky stretched out before me, with galaxies flowing in and out.

With one step, he found himself in the vast and boundless starry sky.

As Song Yi traversed the Northern Black Tortoise Seven Mansions star cluster, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura.

A comet, trailing a long tail, is slowly passing through the depths of the starry sky.

Song Yi's figure swayed and he landed on the comet.

In an instant, the essence of stars surged into his body like a tide, and his realm rose steadily.

He transformed once again into that star god with the battle prowess of a Golden Immortal, his body shimmering with starlight, his divine form majestic.

With a thought, a semi-transparent system panel appeared in the void.

Name: Song Yi

[Divine Position: Broom Star Lord (Rank 7)]

[Clerical authority: 1.132]

After a brief review, Song Yi concluded that the main reason for the significant increase in the power of the divine office was the S₁ military conquest power, which jumped from zero to 0.7.

This is naturally thanks to the establishment of the Golden Armor Camp.

Other items also saw slight increases, such as S₂ derivative rights and C₃ departmental resources.

"Fortunately, the Mirror of Merit is still in my hands, otherwise I might not have been able to break through this barrier." Song Yi secretly rejoiced.

[Detected that the Divine Authority content is ≥ 1. Should the Gold-tier gacha pool be activated?]

"Activate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, three golden talismans appeared out of thin air.
