Although Mother Mold was clearly complaining about the Balance Ring, her tone remained very calm. It seemed that, compared to her resentment towards the Balance Ring, Mother Mold harbored more regret than resentment. It was for this reason that Haoyun increasingly felt that Mother Mold, despite her immense power, possessed a transcendent wisdom beyond ordinary comprehension. However, it was evident that her intellectual capabilities plummeted linearly when facing the Balance Ring, due to her unconditional support and compliance.

Because Mother Mold always supported the Balance Ring unconditionally, she gradually became a puppet manipulated by the Balance Ring, always at her mercy. If not for the Balance Ring’s overconfidence, which prematurely exposed her ambitions, Mother Mold might not have discovered the Balance Ring’s conspiracy until the end, continuing to assist her blindly.

Although Haoyun only expressed these sentiments inwardly, Mother Mold seemed to have heard them. Thus, she nodded in agreement and continued, "It's regrettable that even though I called off my assistance to the Balance Ring in time, she still used the information I provided to create this system for capturing Mold Energy. Moreover, besides this system, the Balance Ring used the information I provided and data she obtained from her research on Mold Energy to create various weapons specifically designed to combat Mold Energy."

Mother Mold pointed at Dao Lao and Dream Jia, saying, "For example, the light weapons you both wield were created based on these conditions. However, due to technological limitations, there are not many weapons that can truly harm Mold Energy. Dream Lady's spear is among the most threatening of such weapons against Mold Energy. Unfortunately, such weapons are now extremely rare, and the user must meet very stringent conditions to fully unleash their formidable power."

"This is indeed good news for us. Judging from the power of your weapons, the Balance Ring's military plans against us have been far from smooth. This means that most of the weapons you possess are still at the level of the Divine War era, and you still lack the strength to launch an attack on the Abyssal Void. This also means that we still have enough time to develop and reinforce ourselves, ensuring that we do not fall behind in the upcoming new Divine War."

"So, Mother Mold, what about my weapons?" Feeling overlooked as Mother Mold continued discussing Dao Lao and Dream Jia's weapons, Haoyun quickly summoned his Phoenix Blades and asked.

Mother Mold glanced at Haoyun's Phoenix Blades and replied, "As for your two short blades... They are divine weapons forged from the purest positive energy in the Divine Spirit Realm, naturally belonging to the rare weapons that possess powerful killing capabilities against Mold Energy. However, your weapons seem incomplete, coupled with your limited strength, which means their current power can only be described as regrettable! Nevertheless, perhaps one day, if you advance to a higher realm, you will discover the true power of these two short blades! Of course, first you must be able to complete them."

Haoyun didn't know if Mother Mold's "completing them" referred to combining the Phoenix Blade and the Phoenix Thorn. So, he continued to ask Mother Mold who "they" referred to and how he could complete them all. This time, however, Mother Mold just shook her head, indicating that the heavenly secrets could not be revealed, and whether or not he could complete "them" entirely depended on Haoyun's own choices. Then, Mother Mold intentionally ended the topic.

Since Mother Mold didn't want to answer, Haoyun naturally didn't continue to press further. Moreover, Haoyun realized that Mother Mold had stopped at the matter of the Phoenix Blades because they were very important to her, to the extent that Mother Mold couldn't reveal too much information for fear of interfering with his future development. Therefore, Haoyun withdrew his curiosity and began to silently ponder what Mother Mold meant by "making the right choice."

In the following time, Mother Mold detailed the events at the end of the Divine War and reiterated that she didn't actually want to be at odds with the Balance Ring and the Divine Spirit Realm. In her view, the Balance Ring ultimately shared a sisterly bond with her. Therefore, unless the Balance Ring struck first, Mother Mold would never take any action that harmed the Divine Spirit Realm.

Mother Mold then mentioned her father again, Guardian Uryll of the Dark Link Plane. She told Haoyun and the others that Uryll had actually been monitoring the progress of her relationship with the Balance Ring. She also indicated that Uryll did not wish to see a conflict between the two sisters. With a change in tone, Mother Mold continued, "However, the Divine War made me realize that everything should have its limits. Sometimes, being overly tolerant does not elicit a sincere response from the other party; instead, it allows them to feel that you are easy to bully, thereby intensifying their hostility. The spoiled Balance Ring is such a character."

"Not only me, even Father gradually developed a similar attitude towards the Balance Ring. Moreover, the Divine Spirit Realm's increasingly aggressive expansion is equivalent to intensifying its theft of the world's resources in the Dark Link Plane. The Balance Ring's actions have made Father, who always adheres to his duties and acts justly, increasingly embarrassed."

"Therefore, Father has been hinting to her, openly and covertly, that the Balance Ring should moderate her actions and not overly rely on the resources of the Dark Link Plane to expand the territory of the Divine Spirit Realm. Father told her that if she truly wants to build the Divine Spirit Realm into a powerful world, she should follow my example and calmly develop first. Only by becoming sufficiently strong first can we slowly consolidate a world with formidable solidity and possess stronger growth potential."

The Mother of Mold Spirits paused briefly before continuing, "However, how could the impatient Balance Ring ever listen to the advice of Father Lord? Compared to focusing on her own cultivation, she hopes more that Father Lord, as the guardian of the Dark Chain Plane, can use his position to secure benefits for his descendants and accelerate their growth. Furthermore, she argues that despite the purification of many worlds from the Dark Chain Plane by the Divine Spirit Realm, given the scale of the Dark Chain Plane, her actions wouldn't cause any harm to it. Moreover, since the Dark Chain Plane itself hasn't restrained her, Father Lord should fully support her approach of expanding the boundaries of the Divine Spirit Realm using the worlds within the Dark Chain Plane."

"The behavior of the Balance Ring, which refuses advice and continues on its own path, has truly infuriated Father Lord. However, due to the restrictions imposed by the ban on the Dark Chain Plane, Father Lord cannot actively intervene in the Balance Ring's thieving activities within the Dark Chain Plane. Therefore, despite his considerable power, Father Lord can only watch helplessly as the Divine Spirit Realm recklessly pillages the Dark Chain Plane. Adding fuel to the fire, knowing that Father Lord cannot intervene, the Balance Ring deliberately intensifies its looting in the Dark Chain Plane and ruthlessly mocks Father Lord."

"As a result, Father Lord's anger has finally been ignited. Thus, Father Lord began to plan how to deal with the Balance Ring, intending to make her realize through severe punishment how serious her mistakes are. Elina was chosen as the protagonist for this reason by Father Lord. However, because Father Lord was so eager to punish the Balance Ring severely, he failed to control his strength properly, causing Elina to awaken an unusually powerful potential and thereby possess the power to threaten the existence of the Balance Ring."

The Mother of Mold Spirits sighed helplessly, spreading her hands, "Alas! Father Lord is quite a stubborn guy, so he never admits his mistakes. Even as Father Lord slowly realizes that Elina's ambitions are no less than those of the Balance Ring and because of the lack of blood ties, she might become an even more difficult threat to control, Father Lord still insists on using Elina to discipline the Balance Ring. Even if, in the process of dealing with the Balance Ring, Elina accidentally defeats and replaces her, becoming the new ruler of the Divine Spirit Realm, Father Lord will still persist in carrying out his punishment plan."

The Mother of Mold Spirits speculated with a sigh, "Alas! I can only say that Father Lord has truly been blinded by anger towards the Balance Ring, so he is set on teaching her a lesson. As for what will happen after teaching the Balance Ring a lesson—well, I can only say that Father Lord cares more that the Balance Ring realizes her mistakes. Perhaps Father Lord never really believes that Elina has the strength to completely defeat the Balance Ring?"

"Or perhaps Father Lord simply wants to see Elina and the Balance Ring fight to mutual destruction. In this way, Father Lord can both teach the Balance Ring a lesson and, with the help of the Balance Ring, eliminate Elina, who is rapidly growing under his blessing. Or maybe Father Lord simply doesn't care about the damage caused by the conflict between Elina and the Balance Ring to the Divine Spirit Realm. After all, to Father Lord, the Divine Spirit Realm is like a temporary scene built by children playing house, fundamentally crude and immature, and just a boring world that is dispensable, isn't it?!"

The Mother of Mold Spirits lifted a jade foot, allowing the maid beside her to massage her soles. Then she continued, "It is precisely because I can't figure out to what extent Father Lord wants to punish the Balance Ring that I am increasingly worried about this matter. Because, in my view, Elina and the Balance Ring are birds of a feather. Regardless of who wins in this struggle, the Dark Void will become their next target."

"Moreover, if Elina were to defeat the Balance Ring, she would inevitably further comprehend new mysteries from Father Lord's blessings and thereby become a peerless powerhouse who controls both positive and negative energy. In that case, she might become a more troublesome opponent for us than the Balance Ring. So, I absolutely cannot sit idly by on this matter; I must do something. I absolutely cannot allow either of them to prepare for war against us in the Dark Void before we do."

"Of course, if we can delay the inevitable war and ensure that the Balance Ring receives the punishment she deserves while also ensuring that the Balance Ring continues to rule the Divine Spirit Realm, that would be even better. After all, we are sisters, so even if a future battle is inevitable, I would prefer my opponent to be the Balance Ring rather than Elina. Because even if I were to lose in a future battle, at least my Dark Void would fall into the hands of the Balance Ring. After all, it's better to let her control the Dark Void than to hand it over to outsiders, right? Hmph! Until now, I've been thinking about the Balance Ring. Look at how hopeless I am!"

Haoyun and the others nodded one after another, agreeing that the Mother of Mold Spirits, despite pointing her sword at the Dark Void while the Balance Ring was showing her fangs, still lacked rationality in her approach, as she continued to consider the Balance Ring's welfare. However, since the topic had once again shifted to Elina, Haoyun and his group once again raised the important question—how were they going to deal with Elina to prevent her attacks from causing massive damage to the Divine Spirit Realm?

The reason Haoyun shifted the core of the issue from "how to stop Elina's attacks" to "how to prevent Elina's attacks from causing massive damage to the Divine Spirit Realm" was naturally because he now understood the true cause behind Elina's assaults on the Divine Spirit Realm. Elina, this pawn, had awakened extraordinary talents under the covert guidance of Guardian Uryll and acquired the capability to strike at the Divine Spirit Realm. The fundamental reason Uryll instructed Elina to act in this way was due to the Balance Ring's relentless pressure on the Dark Chain Plane and the Dark Void for her own selfish gain.

The Mother of Mold Spirits did not rush to answer Haoyun's question this time. Instead, she scrutinized him with her incomparably beautiful eyes. At this moment, Haoyun seemed to peer through the Mother of Mold Spirits' eyes and glimpsed the unparalleled power and wisdom that only emerged from the depths of time and space during the creation of the world. Haoyun keenly felt that the being confronting him now was no longer just a deity named the Mother of Mold Spirits but the entire Dark Void brimming with peculiar vitality. Under the intense gaze of the Mother of Mold Spirits, Haoyun couldn't help but feel dizzy and overwhelmed by an inexplicable pressure that made it hard to breathe.
