Stronger from Earth

As the Saint Master investigated the Revolutionary Knight, Wang Xuan also noticed his actions.

For the Saint Master in the Void Realm, the entire Canglan Realm was his private territory, and many creatures were beneath his gaze.

Star Lords or Grotto Void beings were but weak creatures that could be easily vanquished.

Thus, he need not hide his movements too much.

He would never have thought, however, that a formidable entity like Wang Xuan had already entered the Canglan Realm, roaming freely within it.

Wang Xuan frowned slightly at the Saint Master’s discovery of the change in the Revolutionary Knight. He knew that if the Saint Master decided to suppress it with his power, the Revolutionary Knights would be extinguished like candles in the wind.

But now, with the Canglan Realm in turmoil, Wang Xuan had ways to divert the Saint Master’s attention, preventing him from focusing on the Revolutionary Knights.

"The Revolutionary Knights are my experiment field. The All Things Born Secret Technique shall spread through them to the entire world; I cannot allow Canglan Divine Sect to destroy it.

Moreover, the Revolutionary Knights bear the heavy responsibility of overturning the foundation of the Canglan Divine Sect, causing the Canglan Realm to become unstable."

As for how to divert the Saint Master’s attention, Wang Xuan already had a plan.

In the next instant, Wang Xuan left the Canglan Realm, his figure moved into the starry sky.

The starry sky is vast, seemingly infinite, yet filled with desolation and silence.

Only specks of life are hidden among the stars.

Standing in the starry sky, freed from the suppression of the world origin of the Canglan Realm, all of Wang Xuan’s power was released.

With the Time Rule and Creation Rules enhancing his spirit and eyes, Wang Xuan sensed the expanse of the starry sky, searching for traces of the Canglan Divine Sect’s Ancient Cultists.

Years ago, the Canglan True God left with a large number of followers and never returned, leading to the decline of the Canglan Realm, with the eight controlled Life Planets gradually losing control.

Some of these planets have deteriorated into desolate death stars, but surely a few have survived.

Apart from that, some sect followers responsible for defending the starry sky have become wanderers in the Star Domain.

In places where these creatures gather, the fluctuations of time and energy are different; when close, Wang Xuan could detect them without using the Eye of Space-Time function on the Tower of Space-Time.

Soon, he detected several figures and a few star-like planets flickering in the starry sky.

Wang Xuan’s eyes brightened; he looked straight at a meteor belt millions of kilometers away, took a step forward, and disappeared.

On a barren meteor, a resplendent palace stood prominently, where dozens of graceful figures danced, the songs and dances surrounding a Golden-Horned Giant.

The Golden-Horned Giant drank and made merry, occasionally glancing towards the Canglan Realm, pondering something in his heart.

He waved his hand to dismiss the dancers.

"A great change has happened in the Canglan Realm, yet I don’t know what the situation is. I’ve sent messages to summon the White Snake and the Black Dragon, why haven’t they arrived?"

For hundreds of thousands of years wandering the starry sky, they busy themselves with cultivation for breakthrough, while idling they make merry, or plunder, game and then leave with flair.

Yet, there are many inconveniences in the starry sky; even a simple message might not be received by the other party or takes years.

The Golden-Horned Giant felt anxious; apart from them, there are many in the starry sky eyeing the Canglan Realm.

Without making haste, he would lose his advantage.

"How long until they arrive?" Wang Xuan’s figure suddenly appeared, casually sitting beside the Golden-Horned Giant.

The sudden appearance startled the Golden-Horned Giant, who quickly drew the Giant Axe at his waist to strike, but his body froze as soon as he moved.

"Why resort to violence? It’s so uncivilized."

Wang Xuan shook his head, summoned the attendants from within the palace, and the palace immediately buzzed with life, delicacies and wine flowed abundantly.

Specialized in making the Golden-Horned Giant enjoy himself, the palace housed over 360,000 creatures, be they servants, followers or enslaved captives, their life and death mattered not to him.

If they perished, he would just seize more.

Wang Xuan drank wine and watched the dance, evidently in a good mood, while the golden-horned giant, unable to move, looked on in terror.

A while passed before the Golden-Horned Giant heard Wang Xuan speak: "Sit."

At that moment, his body regained movement.

The Golden-Horned Giant considered fleeing, but Wang Xuan’s mysterious power made him abandon the thought; rendering his Grotto Void Peak self defenseless, Wang Xuan must be a Star Lord Peak creature.

Near the Canglan Star Domain, was there such a formidable Star Lord?

Having lived for millions of years, he truly didn’t know of such a strong entity.

The Golden-Horned Giant sat, usually aloof and arrogant, yet now he humbly asked: "Is there anything I can do for you, Senior? Just command me freely, I would climb mountains of knives and dive into seas of fire with all my might."

Wang Xuan drank his wine freely, casually saying: "Tell me about the Canglan Star Domain’s situation; satisfy me, and I’ll spare your life."

Compared to the True-tier creatures in the Canglan Realm, most of those hiding in the starry sky are wanderers.

Why wander? The palace’s raided creatures might provide a hint.

The loathing in the Golden-Horned Giant’s hidden eyes surfaced, yet his face remained earnest, like a loyal old dog, he withheld nothing Wang Xuan wished to know.

From his words, Wang Xuan learned of the starry landscape outside the Canglan Star Domain.

Since the Canglan True God departed, local Defenders claimed territories, starting an era of feudal separatism.

Some powerful figures occupied resources and populous areas, while others sat solitarily in the empty starry sky.

To vie for interests, fierce battles ensued among various parties, costing many strong lives.

In the ensuing carnage, three Life Planets were obliterated outright, billions perished instantly, while two more planets indirectly declined rapidly.

Compared to the Life Source Star possessing World Will and origin, Life Planets are indeed fragile.

Under power struggles, some powerful figures shared the remaining five Life Planets, driving others into the starry sky as wanderers.

Then, a million years passed, reducing five Life Planets to three, with only thirty to forty True-tier creatures remaining, including five Star Lords.

They had set their sights on the Canglan Realm, but under the powerful Canglan Divine Sect and the Saint Master’s control, they attempted a single raid, losing over a dozen True-tier creatures.

Facing such disparity in strength, they abandoned the notion of occupying the Canglan Realm.

No matter how splendid the Canglan Realm, it wasn’t their concern.

Wang Xuan swirled his wine glass, saying: "Besides the Canglan Realm, the starry sky retains Ancient Star, Barbarian King Star, Nine Abyss Star and a Secret Land.

The Canglan Realm is the strongest, the other three planets and the Secret Land’s True-tier combined don’t even match seventy percent of Canglan Star’s strength, yet Canglan Divine Sect can’t govern these distant lands, correct?"

The Golden-Horned Giant nodded repeatedly, observing Wang Xuan’s eyes.

His eyes showed no excitement nor fear, only enthusiastic curiosity.

Next, three figures appeared in the starry sky, flying straight towards the radiant palace.

A massive White Snake, with a singular horn on its head, darted through the cosmos like lightning.

A Black Dragon, immense with broad wings, spewed white flames, flapping swiftly towards the palace.

Another humanoid figure, covered in scales, sharp-toothed, chuckled as it rushed over.

"Golden Horn, brother, why the urgency in summoning us, what is it for?"

The three figures entered the palace, their gaze fixed on the lazily reclined Wang Xuan, tinted with curiosity and caution.

"Who is he?" the elder leading them inquired.

A person, a snake, a dragon — they stared at Wang Xuan while questioning the Golden-Horned Giant.

The Golden-Horned Giant hadn’t mentioned this unfamiliar human to them before, breaching protocol, leaving them displeased.

Wang Xuan knew the fish he sought was now caught, with a wave of his hand, closed the palace’s golden doors tightly.

Witnessing this, the trio realized an adversary had appeared, promptly displaying their Magical Treasures, simultaneously roaring: "Golden Horn, you betrayed us! Damn you!"

With nowhere to turn, the Golden-Horned Giant gritted his teeth and shouted: "Senior, I will help you capture them!"

After speaking, he swung his Giant Axe at his once-brothers, eyes filled with ferocity.

Wang Xuan remained still, watching the spectacle with a smile, awaiting the ensuing drama.
