Shangguan looked at the Harbinger from Snezhnaya across from her and burst into tears.
"Then I'll let you go back once you've become one of the Seven Stars!" the Harbinger said impatiently.

"Congratulations, Miss Shangguan, you've passed the examination. Starting today, you are the Heavenly Pivot Star."
Tianshu Star Uncle Tian looked at the young woman with approval.
"..."
In the eyes of everyone there, Miss Shangguan accepted her place among the Seven Stars with composure, her expression unruffled by either honor or disgrace.
And so, that night...
"Lord Rex Lapis! I finished my mission!"
