Stronger from Earth

Wang Xuan accepted everyone’s allegiance, his gaze falling on the ancient planet, Ancient Star.

As a planet, it is already very old, having existed for billions of years since its birth, but as a Life Planet, its history is too brief.

Compared to the Life Source Star, which has a history of development spanning billions of years, the Life Planet appears too fragile due to its lack of World Origin and World Will, making it difficult to withstand upheavals.

After all, the Life Source Star originated from the Sea of Chaos, while the birth of Life Planets comes from the artificial intervention of powerful beings.

Ancient Star’s emergence was the result of several Void Creatures collaborating with dozens of other True-tier Creatures.

Without sustained maintenance by powerful beings, Ancient Star has been on the brink of collapse, like an old car in desperate need of thorough repairs.

Such means can only be achieved by a Void Cultivator or at least ten Star Lords.

The key is, the cultivation methods they practice and the paths they follow must relate to the Rules of World Operation, such as the Innate Dao of the Five Elements, Yin and Yang, and the Path of Life.

Most Postnatal Paths, like Sword Dao, Spirit, Divine Path, etc., are not suitable.

"Venerable Lord, do you have a way to rejuvenate Ancient Star?" The Ancient Star Lord asked cautiously.

He didn’t know the cultivation level or path of this mysterious powerful being, and naturally couldn’t be sure if the promised rejuvenation could be fulfilled.

Strolling leisurely, Wang Xuan approached Ancient Star, looking at the decaying planet, and said flatly, "Today, I will extend its life by a million years to ease your concerns."

Understanding Life Planets, repairing Life Planets, and even creating Life Planets, offer immense help in achieving the Star Lord Tao Fruit.

Mastering the operation rules of small planets and resonating with the stars allows one to cultivate using the power of the stars and easily leap between them.

This is the cultivation at the Minor Star Position.

Mastering the operation rules of large planets or Life Planets and resonating with them is cultivation at the Grand Star Position.

If one’s gaze falls upon the Life Source Star, then there is hope for the Super Star Position.

For Wang Xuan, Minor Star Position and Grand Star Position are easy to achieve, methodically obtaining Tao Fruit, but only the Super Star Position is worth pursuing.

Understanding Ancient Star is a step in his path as a Star Lord.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Wang Xuan’s body suddenly enlarged, towering as a God-Demon under the Heaven and Earth Transformation divine technique, reaching a height of millions of feet.

Such a vast body, even the eyes seemed like two moons hanging in the sky, the floating black hair blocking out the sun.

At this moment, all creatures on Ancient Star felt the sky had darkened; it had been daytime, but suddenly nothing could be seen.

Only creatures at the Earth Tier and above could clearly see the colossal figure in the sky, nearly dying from just one glance.

From birth until now, they had never seen such a terrifying powerful being, could this be the legendary God-Demon?

It was only when they saw the Star Lord and others’ aura beside the colossal body that they felt somewhat at ease.

At this moment, not only them, but even the Ancient Star Lord, Silver Armor Golden Horn, and other True-tier Creatures were dumbstruck, continually retreating under the pressure of the powerful aura.

Being just next to Wang Xuan was difficult to endure due to the oppressive feeling of high-level life brought by him, let alone having the courage to take action.

At such a time, given a thousand guts, they no longer dared to act against Wang Xuan, their hearts utterly surrendered.

Even if Wang Xuan asked them to go to their deaths, they dared not disobey, the fear he instilled in them was too strong.

Now, Wang Xuan took action.

He opened his mouth and swallowed, gathering all the energy particles scattered within a radius of tens of millions in diameter, into the abyss-like colossal mouth.

The blazing sun was also affected, a fiery serpent extended towards Wang Xuan, forming a bright and hot bridge of light, devouring massive amounts of matter and energy.

In just a few dozen breaths, the entire starry sky dimmed, even Silver Armor Golden Horn and others felt a significant drop in temperature around them.

Only Ancient Star remained completely unaffected.

Seeing this scene, the Ancient Star Lord and others felt a great sense of relief; if they had become enemies, could they survive even a quarter hour?

To Wang Xuan, perhaps the entire Ancient Star was just a dish, easily consuming all life force, turning into a cold and desolate solitary planet.

After devouring immense energy, Wang Xuan used Creation Rules to transform them within his body into the rich Source Power and Life Force needed by the Life Planet.

Then he extended a hand, deeply inserting it into the ground, as Wang Xuan drew out, the weak and chaotic rules and Source Power inside Ancient Star rapidly drained away, the star trembled continuously.

In just a quarter hour, the extraordinary origins of Ancient Star dissipated entirely, clearing even the remnants of Canglan Divine Sect’s layout from millions of years ago.

A massive treasure vault flew into Wang Xuan’s hand from the star’s interior.

This treasure vault was unknown even to the Ancient Star Lord, evidently suppressed here by the Canglan Divine Sect in the past.

Wang Xuan released the seal within, revealing numerous treasures before him, all used for cultivating Celestial and True-tier Creatures as cultivation resources, along with some war relics.

Without extraordinary rules and Source Power as foundational support, the extraordinary energy of Ancient Star began to stir.

Just as it started, Wang Xuan’s Creation Rules silently infiltrated, in a blink spreading across the globe.

The original rules and Source Power, repaired within Wang Xuan’s body, were reinjected into Ancient Star, instantly weaving dense rune patterns across the planet.

Then he opened his mouth and exhaled, massive amounts of life energy falling onto the planet’s surface.

"It’s done." Wang Xuan’s body contracted, returning to a height of just a few feet.

The Ancient Star Lord and others looked at Wang Xuan gratefully, their admiration and awe evident.

The crowd then turned their gaze towards Ancient Star.

In their perception, Ancient Star’s earthly rules were now incredibly stable, abundant Source Power circulating within, rich spiritual power circulating between heaven and earth.

Upon receiving massive life energy, the previously decaying Ancient Star saw rapid growth of plants, and numerous creatures revived, bursting with vitality.

Seeing these changes, the crowd finally understood that under Wang Xuan’s restoration, Ancient Star had been renewed, reverting to its peak state.

As the Planet Lord and leader of his clan, the Ancient Star Lord was moved to tears.

"A million years, a million years, during such a long time, I could only watch as Ancient Star decayed, the creatures of the clan suffering without being able to do anything."

"Thank you, Venerable Lord, for you’re the reason it was rejuvenated, returning to its peak, and can continue for a million or even several million years!"

"True God above, I, Canglan, vow here, to pledge allegiance to the Venerable Lord for all eternity, until death!"

The Ancient Star Lord knelt on one knee, bowing his head to Wang Xuan.

Behind him, hundreds of Celestial-tier creatures knelt in submission, willing to follow Wang Xuan just like the Ancient Star Lord.

To them, the importance of home and clan far outweigh their own lives, and they are willing to sacrifice everything for it.

Wang Xuan restored the vitality of Ancient Star, something they could not achieve even with all their might, so what’s the harm in pledging loyalty to him out of gratitude?

"Rise!" Wang Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, accepting their allegiance.

"Settle your clans, and in a day, follow me to other planets."

Then his gaze fell upon Ancient Star, as he sat cross-legged, continuing to understand this Life Planet.

For him, the Grotto Void Realm was nearly reached, his own strength incredibly strong, comparable to the Void True Immortal.

Now it’s time for him to embark on his Star Lord path, contemplating the myriad stars.

For him, he has already delved into many aspects of the Star Lord Domain, now focusing on it, likely he will break through the Realm soon.
