729: Perhaps only the Taoist can go back in time

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Gu Qing's face turn pale and his aura unstable, Starry Sacred Mother was greatly alarmed, thinking he had been ambushed, and her divine sense swept across the boundless world.

"No, I'm fine."

Gu Qing waved his hand, taking a deep breath: "I just remembered something unpleasant. Master, please continue."

"Are you thinking of your parents?" Starry Sacred Mother's divine sense found no abnormalities, and she immediately thought Gu Qing had lost his composure because he was thinking of his parents.

"Mm!" Gu Qing absently hummed in response.

"The past cannot be chased. My disciple, do not dwell on unfeeling parents."

"I know, Master, please continue."

"I have thirty-six sons..."

"What? Thirty-six?"

"Is there a problem?" Starry Sacred Mother's beautiful eyes showed surprise, not understanding why Gu Qing reacted so strongly.

"No, no problem."

"This Master's Thirty-six Heavenly Star Sons each control thirty-six kinds of Star Great Dao, and their personalities vary. Some Heavenly Star Sons are kind, while others are bloodthirsty, but they are all extremely filial."

"It's a pity that back then, this Master was strong and fought everywhere. In the Eternal Universe, this Master could still protect them, but upon arriving in the Origin Continent..."

When speaking of the Thirty-six Heavenly Star Sons, Starry Sacred Mother's tone became sorrowful, and her eyes, filled with starlight, welled up.

While she was in seclusion to break through to Master God, her thirty-six sons were killed by her Celestial enemies, their souls completely annihilated.

Although she eventually avenged them, what was the point? The Thirty-six Heavenly Star Sons had completely fallen, and she couldn't even find a trace of their true spirits. This matter became her taboo.

However, since the Thirty-six Heavenly Star Sons died in battle, Starry Sacred Mother conceived a crazy idea: to conquer the entire Origin Continent to console the Thirty-six Heavenly Star Sons.

Although this path seemed impossible and offered no hope, she still wanted to try.

It was only later, the betrayal of her disciples, coupled with countless accusations, caused her mental collapse, leading her to flee into the chaos, repair her Dao Heart, and seal herself as Sacred Mother.

"They died..."

"Then... what about his father?"

After listening, Gu Qing's emotions were complex. All thirty-six sons had actually died.

If they hadn't died, even if Starry Sacred Mother was betrayed by her disciples, she probably wouldn't have fled, right?

"What father?"

Starry Sacred Mother frowned: "This Master is devoted to the Dao, committed to conquering and transforming worlds. Men would only hinder this Master's conquests."

"This Master's thirty-six sons were all Dao Children conceived by this Master, collecting the essence of heaven and earth and nurturing them together with heaven and earth."

Forming a Dao Companion relationship is acceptable; the path to longevity is long, dangerous, and full of obstacles. Having a companion can both soothe loneliness and provide mutual support.

This is why she so desperately wanted offspring.

Also, Gu Jun, Ni Xiao, Tian Xu, and Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman were all considered her Dao Companions, meaning companions in the Great Dao.

But getting married and becoming husband and wife? She had never considered it.

Gu Jun and the other two had repeatedly asked her to become Dao Companions and husband and wife, to cultivate the Great Dao together, but she had always refused.

"Ah? That works too?"

Gu Qing was astonished.

"Why not?"

Starry Sacred Mother's beautiful eyes showed confusion, then she understood, saying: "My disciple, you are of mortal origin. You haven't retained mortal concepts, have you?"

Gu Qing gave an awkward laugh.

He was indeed thinking from a mortal perspective.

Upon hearing that Starry Sacred Mother had sons, his first reaction was that Starry Sacred Mother had married, but it turned out not to be the case.

His thinking was narrow.

Now that he knew Starry Sacred Mother hadn't married, Gu Qing should have been happy, but at this moment, he couldn't feel happy at all; his heart felt heavy.

His strength was ultimately not great enough.

He also didn't know if he could save the Thirty-six Heavenly Star Sons after breaking through to Dao Master.

"Many accomplished goddesses in the world, if they don't want a man but want offspring, will use secret arts to collect the essence of heaven and earth and nurture Dao Children together with heaven and earth."

"Some goddesses can even become pregnant during their cultivation process, when they resonate with heaven and earth and fall into enlightenment."

At this point, Starry Sacred Mother paused and lectured: "My disciple, you truly have too little experience. You are already a Celestial, yet your concepts haven't changed."

"You need to take time to gain more experience, to see the myriad aspects of the world. This will be beneficial for your comprehension of the Great Dao."

"Mm, I understand, Master." Gu Qing nodded.

Starry Sacred Mother stroked his cheek, her expression solemn: "Why are my disciple's emotions so low? Are you afraid that this Master's enemies will target you?"

"Don't worry, this Master will certainly not repeat past mistakes. Before you grow up, this Master will not leave your side for half a step."

"No..."

Gu Qing quickly shook his head. Although he felt his strength was insufficient, he had many trump cards, and with the Great Dao Undying Golden Body, Master God couldn't do anything to him either.

"Master, after breaking through to Dao Master, can we save the Senior Brothers?" Gu Qing thought for a moment and asked.

"This Master also doesn't know."

Starry Sacred Mother's tone was low: "Dao Master's divine abilities are unfathomable. This Master is not at that realm, so I have no way of knowing."

"But I know that to save my children, we must reverse time, going back to when they fell, and re-gather their true spirits."

"But to reverse the time of heaven and earth, all things, including all Dao rules, must be reversed. How incredibly difficult is that? This Master even thinks it's impossible."

"Perhaps... only the omnipotent Dao Ancestor can do it."

Gu Qing was silent for a moment, then said: "Master, when I break through to Dao Ancestor, I will help Master find the thirty-six Senior Brothers."

"Good!"

"My disciple is so good. I didn't pamper you for nothing."

Starry Sacred Mother's voice trembled slightly.

If anyone else said this, she definitely wouldn't believe it.

After all, Dao Ancestor was not something they could covet, not even the powerful Demon Gods nurtured in chaos.

However, Gu Qing could definitely do it.

"Then Master, I'll go cultivate first."

Gu Qing summoned the Creation Green Lotus and sat on it. Breaking through to the eleventh realm was urgent.

After more than a hundred years of Great Dao power cleansing, Gu Qing's realm had already reached the tenth realm of perfection.

He was just one opportunity away from breaking through to the eleventh realm.

"Mm! Go ahead and cultivate. Your little lover, and Fang Jixuan, are being watched by this Master. Nothing will happen."

Starry Sacred Mother also sat down, her body exuding a profound Great Dao aura, helping Gu Qing comprehend the Dao.

Suddenly sensing that a group of rebellious disciples had once again come to kneel outside the cave, Starry Sacred Mother's eyes instantly turned cold.

"Does Master want to kill them?" Sensing Starry Sacred Mother's killing intent, Gu Qing asked in surprise.

"It depends on whether they are sensible or not."

As a former Celestial Emperor, Starry Sacred Mother possessed extraordinary methods and deep schemes.

She knew exactly what these people were planning.

In her heart, if they couldn't get what they wanted here, they might seek other avenues, colluding with external enemies.

And Yun Youzi, hidden in the dark, was always a threat.

Starry Sacred Mother actually hoped that these rebellious disciples, her former enemies, and Yun Youzi would join forces, so she could catch them all in one go and eliminate future troubles forever.

"My disciple, cultivate with peace of mind. Leave the rest to this Master." Starry Sacred Mother said.

"Thank you, Master."

Gu Qing's heart felt warm.

Having a powerful and doting Master, Gu Qing felt like he was soaking in a honey pot, not needing to worry about anything, just cultivating steadily.
