"Hmm?" Zhou Yu raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw a golden star appear in the distance. "Look at that, Ling Yun."
Ling Yun immediately glanced at the golden star, which was still emitting golden light and appeared to be guiding them. "I can sense Huang Lingzhu's aura from it, so let's follow it, and we will definitely find the door leading to the top of the tower."
"Can you really feel Huang Lingzhu's aura from that golden star?" Zhou Yu asked in surprise.
Ling Yun nodded at Zhou Yu. "Huang Lingzhu once helped me in the Ancient Garden, and her aura was completely different from other living beings, so I remember her aura clearly. Moreover, she deliberately sent Peng Tianlei and the others to help us reach the 90th floor faster, so I am not surprised if she sent the golden star to guide us to the top."
"All right, we will follow it." As soon as Zhou Yu brought Ling Yun to the golden star, it immediately shot into the distance, so they followed right behind it.

Inside Ling Yun's soul space, Sheng Ming's soul was already in the cradle of his light soul. "You're too lustful, you know? I have just returned to the tower, yet you are already eager to engage in dual soul cultivation with me again."
"Haha." Ling Yun's soul laughed at that. "Yet you like doing it with me, right? You keep moaning non-stop every time I'm inside your soul, and your expressions are so lewd as you enjoy the pleasure."
'Tch! This shameless kid!' Sheng Ming's soul released a helpless sigh as she nodded. "Your lustful nature had too much impact on me, and you made me like this now."
Ling Yun's soul kissed her briefly before posing the question. "Why did Huang Lingzhu suddenly decide to help me that far? She sent the last six female beasts to me, and she sent a golden star to guide me and Zhou Yu now."
"I don't know Huang Lingzhu's real reason for sending the six beasts to you, but she did it after she met Huang Hao." Ling Yun's soul arched his eyebrow at Sheng Ming's soul. "Huang Hao didn't tell her anything, so she hasn't met Long Yun's other half-soul. However, their meeting convinced her that he deliberately provoked her to kill him, and her feelings are probably in turmoil right now."
"Does Huang Lingzhu really have feelings?" Ling Yun's soul asked in a scornful tone. "She did as she pleased and never thought about other people's feelings. She caused Ling Xi to suffer for billions of years; she manipulated my father-in-law to send Xiao'er away from the Thousand Beast Realm, and she also committed many other crimes. I acknowledge that her actions have greatly benefited me, allowing me to reach this stage. However, her past actions showed that she is heartless."
Sheng Ming's soul cupped his face and stared into his eyes. "Ling Yun, I know Huang Lingzhu far better than you do, and I can tell that she is no different from other living beings. She has feelings, but her feelings are not as strong as you imagine, and her feelings are too fragile."
"Then—"
"Shh! Listen to me first." Ling Yun's soul nodded to Sheng Ming's soul. "I know Huang Lingzhu has committed too many crimes, but no one else loves this universe and all its inhabitants as deeply as her. Since she was the first living thing, she watched this universe grow from empty to full of different races. Without her realizing it, her feelings were already deeply attached to everyone, and she chose to do all that for their sake. I know she's done a lot of wrong to Luxuria and Xiao Xiao, but you have to try to put yourself in her shoes. If you were in her shoes, I'm not sure you would let this universe and all its inhabitants perish. You could argue with that, but you know your character and that you care about others deeply. I'm sure you would do the same thing, and you would never let this universe be destroyed, even if you had to sacrifice many things."
"I don't deny that I care about other people, and I won't let this universe be destroyed. However, I won't do it for them, and I will do it for myself and the people closest to me." Ling Yun's soul paused for a few moments before continuing. "If I were in Huang Lingzhu's position and had her power, I would never take the same route as her. Her mistake was that she was overconfident in herself, and she considered herself almighty, so she didn't trust anyone other than herself. If only she could trust others, she would never have taken that route. She would discuss the matter with all of you, and I am sure you guys could think of a better way to stop the danger. Instead, she thought that she knew what was best for everyone, and she decided to plan everything herself. Long Hun was fully aware of her character, and he knew that he would never be able to convince her. In the end, he chose to provoke her to kill him, and you knew the rest of the story better than I do."
"You are right; Huang Lingzhu is indeed overconfident in herself. Long Hun was born from Chaos, and he has the ability of chaos, even though he was born imperfect. If only she had talked to us about it, we would have been able to find a better way to stop the danger. If Long Hun had not been able to fight his father at that time, we could have worked together to help him deal with it, and she would not have had to sacrifice so many people." Sheng Ming's soul then asked him. "What will you do with her after you become the true primordial chaos dragon? Will you kill her? She is Time itself, and her death will destroy this universe."
Ling Yun's soul shook his head. "I hate Huang Lingzhu very much because she toyed with Ling Xi and Xiao Xiao's lives, but I don't have any plans for her yet. After all, she is the strongest in this universe, and my current strength is still too minuscule compared to hers. As for the future, I don't want to think about it now, and I will think about everything after I meet Long Hun's other half-soul and become the true primordial chaos dragon."
Sheng Ming's soul nodded in understanding. "Soon, you will reach the top of the tower, and you can take one of Long Hun's body parts there. However, you must face the final test to obtain the last key, after which you can open the chest using the ten keys."
"So it's true, huh? The ten keys are indeed to take one of Long Hun's body parts, huh?" Sheng Ming's soul nodded to Ling Yun's soul. "How long will it take me to reach the top of the tower? Why did she connect the tower to the middle area of the void?"
"I don't know how long it will take you to reach the top of the tower, and I deliberately asked Huang Lingzhu to help you, especially since Zhou Yu has never entered the middle area of the void before." Sheng Ming's soul's answer surprised him. "As for your second question, I was not involved in the establishment of the tower. Huang Lingzhu and Zhou Yu's predecessors took care of it themselves, so I don't understand why they connected the tower with the void. Perhaps she deliberately did this because she didn't want anyone else to reach the top."
"Forget it." Ling Yun's soul then caressed her cheeks. "I will soon reach the top, and once I leave the tower, I will proceed directly to several locations. After that, I will take them to the supreme realm, and I hope you are willing to join us so we will have plenty of time to deepen our relationship."
Sheng Ming's soul was momentarily surprised. "Do you want to deepen our relationship, or do you want to eat me?"
"Hahaha." Ling Yun's soul laughed before giving her a brief kiss. "Naturally, I want to deepen our relationship, but I also want to eat you."
Sheng Ming's soul twitched at his shameless reply. "I don't have anything to do at the tower, so I'll join you then."
Ling Yun's soul smiled happily, and they quickly started dual soul cultivation.

Quickly, ten days passed, and Zhou Yu and Ling Yun arrived in front of a gate that connected the void to the top of the tower. "This is our last stop, and you can get one of Long Hun's body parts behind this gate. Unfortunately, we don't have any information about which body part is inside, but I hope it is his dragon bone marrow."
"Why do you want to get his bone marrow first and not his dragon core?" Ling Yun asked in confusion.
Zhou Yu released a soft sigh before explaining. "Your current body is much stronger compared to other cultivators, but Long Hun's dragon core holds most of his strength, and your body will not be able to withstand his immense power. If you get his bone marrow first, it can help increase the amount of primordial chaos dragon blood in your body, and it will also strengthen your body further."
"I see." Ling Yun nodded in understanding and touched the gate. "Let's go in now."
