Western Star Region 'Rose Court'.

Although many are still not accustomed to the new national name, the resounding victory of the Hemu Star Domain has undoubtedly sent the entire nation into a frenzy, dispelling all previous doubts and fears. The streets are filled with lively discussions.

"I told you so, breaking away from that decaying Federation, we could make it on our own."

"We were just too docile before, should have done this long ago, really taught those high and mighty Central Star Domain lords a lesson."

"Princess Blanchi is truly great."

"The Central Council has become a laughing stock this time."

"Ha, it's truly satisfying."

In bars and restaurants, many people discussed the matter excitedly, drinking as they spoke. Some wealthy patrons stood up and announced that they would cover the bills, eliciting cheers and whistles from the scene.

The atmosphere of joy and pride permeated the Western Star Region. After the Fifth Fleet's retreat, the few Star Domains that had been seized were quickly reclaimed by the 'Rose Court', bringing relief to the residents of those Star Domains.

Hemu Star Domain, Golden Court.

Blanchi sat solemnly on a throne carved from white jade, discussing recent affairs with the high officials present.

After the meeting concluded, everyone dispersed, and she leaned back on the chair, slightly fatigued.

"Are you tired? How about I escort you back to rest?" inquired La Gui'er, who had been stationed by her side.

"Thank you." La Gui'er then helped Blanchi up, and the two slowly made their way towards the bedroom.

"After you successfully ascended the Solar Crown that day, you fainted for three consecutive days. Many of us, including myself, were quite worried, but fortunately, we watched as you slowly regained consciousness."

"Please don't push yourself like that next time. Although a Sunshine-level Songstress can indeed condense a Solar Crown, each use of such an ability comes with significant side effects."

"Historically, the number of times a Dawn Tier Songstress has raised the Solar Crown is very few, a Radiant Sun Level Songstress a bit more, but each use involves considerable mental burden, only a Blazing Sun Level can use it adequately with minimal side effects."

"Your pace of advancement is too rapid, but luckily through the previous ritual, the purity of your soul consciousness was greatly enhanced, reducing the backlash, barely preserving your mental state from shattering during the acceptance of prayers." La Gui'er offered insights and knowledge about the Solar Crown to Blanchi.

"Thank you." Blanchi's voice was very weak.

"How long must it be before the Crown can be ascended again?"

"In your current state, it's definitely not possible. Trying now would result in you not being able to withstand the mental shock, leading to immediate loss of control and self-destruction. To recover to a state where you can use it again, it would take at least three months, and that's factoring in various healing rituals and specially-made potions. Without these, you'd need a year to recuperate."

"Three months is actually adequate. Even if the Federal Central Council regroups and attacks, it would take them over three months to reach the core Star Domain of the Western region." La Gui'er reassured Blanchi.

"I understand." Returning to the bedroom, Blanchi leaned on the pillow and fell into slumber within seconds.

Seeing this, La Gui'er stayed a while longer, casting a secret technique for healing the soul on Blanchi, before gently leaving.

Arriving at the cult headquarters in the Hemu Star Domain, it wasn't long before the other four 'Seven Virtues' gathered together.

"How is Blanchi's condition?" 'Sincerity' Gabriel stood on one side of the square table, leaning against the back of the chair.

"She needs rest to recover. Although I used a secret technique for healing the soul, its effect is very limited." La Gui'er closed her eyes partially and clasped her hands in prayer.

Apart from them, there were three other 'Seven Virtues' in the room, though currently cloaked in hooded capes, their figures revealing them to be two women and one man.

"Methods for healing the soul are incredibly rare throughout history, so it's fortunate to achieve even the slightest effect." Gabriel shook his head, not blaming La Gui'er.

"'Tolerance' is still in the Central Star Domain, among us she is the most skilled in this type of secret technique."

"Have you forgotten about me? After all, I am one of the leading Alchemists in the cult." One of the Seven Virtues lifted their hat brim, revealing blood-red hair and eyes as vibrant as gemstones.

"'Temperance', didn't you previously say you lacked sufficient quality raw materials?" La Gui'er spoke with some confusion.

"That's correct, I indeed didn't have enough pure raw materials before. But when I talked about it with 'Justice', she mentioned knowing a friend who could help solve the problem." Saying this, the red-haired, red-eyed girl glanced toward the companion beside her.

Upon hearing this, 'Justice', who had remained silent, could no longer keep her hood up, revealing her large waves of golden hair and eyes as blue as sapphire.

"I had asked a former acquaintance for help, and sent the materials to that friend. Only recently did I receive feedback and the materials." She retrieved a transparent glass jar from under her cloak, in which a beautifully haunting azure lotus bloomed at the bottom, its petals resembling dark blue crystals, emitting a gentle and serene aura.

"What is this?" La Gui'er seemed to recollect something.

"Indeed, it's the 'Flower of Beautiful Dreams', famed alongside the 'Flower of Nightmares', both extraordinary plants cultivated by the witch of dreams, Tehua." 'Temperance' announced excitedly.

"Previously, I tried cultivating several plants, but the quality was insufficient to create the top-tier 'Gentle Dreams' potion."
