In the vast universe, a figure was desperately fleeing.

The figure was in a sorry state, half of his body charred, his whole being still resonating with the remnants of thunder, crackling and popping.

"Eh, isn't this Taoist Friend Luo from the Star Alliance?"

Among the stars, someone recognized this figure seemingly fleeing for his life, and asked their companion in confusion, hesitant to confirm his identity.

The exchanged glances carried clear confusion and misunderstanding.

Could it be that he violated rules and brought down a thunder trial upon himself from the heavens here?

Such reckless boldness.

Daring to ignore and defy even the rules of the Void Realm?

They couldn't help but shake their heads simultaneously, not understanding his "courting death" behavior and immediately withdrew their thoughts of assistance.

Suddenly, someone wondered, "Why do I feel this starry sky is several shades darker?"

The companions had the same sensation.

It was not an ordinary night in the human world, where darkness has layers of depth and brightness, along with the vitality interwoven by moonlight, starlight, and lamplight.

But this darkness was heavy, like solidified ink, as if everything was wrapped in boundless black cloth, devoid of any trace of light.

As if it was the eternal base color of the universe.

"The Group Stars are diminishing..."

Someone whispered, gradually uncovering the source of the anomaly.

The endless deep space was dark like an ocean, where the Group Stars were the lighthouses.

But at this moment, those lighthouses in the ocean were rapidly vanishing at a rate easily perceptible to everyone!

The Group Stars vanished, the Sun and Moon dimmed, causing this expanse of the starry sky to sink into an unprecedented gloom.

The universe's temperature was also rapidly dissipating.

The warmth and light disappeared entirely, deep cold froze every inch of space, as if all Ten Thousand Skills had silently annihilated, and the Heaven and Earth Universe marched towards the Dao's severe winter.

This situation could already be termed a catastrophe.

The people wore heavy expressions, who dared to cause disorder at that Venerable's dojo?

Someone instinctively glanced at the still thunder-hunted, no escape above or below, Taoist Friend Luo.

Probably not.

And ruling out the possibility of someone stirring up trouble, was the cause of this situation an anomaly of Heaven and Earth itself?

Exchanging glances, they moved toward the depths of the starry sky.

The deeper they ventured, the "blazing heat" of Heaven and Earth grew more intense.

As if the temperature of this starry sky hadn't dissipated but concentrated at the core!

"What is that..."

"We can't proceed any further, the temperature ahead is making my Primordial Spirit uncomfortable."

"Is this the emergence of a Dao's rare treasure?!"

"Hiss, could it be a Heavenly Creation? But it's the wrong time for such..."

Their hearts were shocked at the sight ahead, a vast red cloud sea spreading like an ocean.

This ocean of red clouds carried a destructive high temperature, yet it also contained a Qi of vigorous newborn, as if all the Great Suns in Heaven and Earth gathered here, and every wisp of cloud transformed into sun rays.

The arriving group, whether Heavenly Venerable or Dao Ancestor, couldn't remain unaffected.

Close up, their Primordial Spirits felt oppressively uncomfortable, like ordinary people placed inside a furnace, feeling the burn of fierce fire.

Forward, the temperature continued to rise, reaching a terrifying critical point.

None could discern the view at the center of the cloud sea.

"There is Heavenly Will descending in the front!" someone articulated emphatically, "Favor from Heaven, surely means the birth of an anomaly treasure!"

Suddenly.

The crowd felt this starry sky seemed slightly brighter, instinctively looking back.

This glance locked their gazes.

Toward the direction they came from was originally in absolute darkness, like the Dao's winter, deep within the black night, yet now it was a congregation of Group Stars.

Each star distinctly stood in Heaven and Earth, reflecting one another, seemingly bound by invisible Dao sensing, orderly and grand in manifestation.

Their expressions drastically changed, elevating themselves, soaring to the heights where the Dharma Realm and Dao Sea resided, finally seeing the obscured figure ahead.

The figure stood at the center of the cloud sea.

From him as the center, countless stars were tiny as grains of Chensha swirling around him, like a Star Lord occupying a divine altar, presiding over a grand Luotian Sacrifice, worshiping gods, arranging the Group Stars.

"Buzz——"

At this moment, across Heaven and Earth, a low-pitched tremor sounded, akin to a cicada's song, echoed seamlessly in every spirit dwelling below this starry sky, rooting itself down.

The once dim and silent main universe was now illuminated by vast starlight, the Sun and Moon behind, and the black sky gradually revealed points of brilliance, each a star, like myriad stars of the heavens congregating, vast as an ocean.

The sounds of Dao booming resounded through the heavens of the Void, the brilliant starlight seemingly illuminated every dark place in the Void Realm, leaving none overlooked.

Everyone lifted their heads, jointly witnessing this grand scene.

"Transmission to all heavens?!"

A Heavenly Monarch raised their head, slightly astonished.

The promotion to a Heavenly Venerable, the scope of anomalies affecting not just the starry sky, but every heaven in the entire realm.

"Sun, Moon, and Stars gathering... is someone advancing to Heavenly Venerable, planning an Inner Universe layout, and now Dao resonance spreads through the heavens?"

"Indeed, that's an Inner Universe layout reflecting across the heavens."

"A scene of Group Stars with Sun and Moon dominant isn't uncommon for Inner Universe layouts, even fairly widespread, but for the intensity of the Dao Rhyme and grandeur... it's indeed the first time in my life!"

"Hehe, at such a juncture, being able to independently advance to Heavenly Venerate in the Void Realm, one must either have heavenly opportunity or be the supreme Heavenly Monarch of various lineages, having such foundation is normal too."

"This should be the first Heavenly Venerable promotion since the Void Realm's opening this time?"

"In terms of this Inner Universe foundation alone, it should suffice to support him reaching True Sainthood, such a Heavenly Monarch's stature is truly enviable."
