The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 560: The Possible Connection of Their Emperor?

The Point of the Beginning, the place said to be the origin of the cosmos. A realm shrouded in mystery, where no being in existence has been able to fully grasp what lies within. Many have longed to venture into it, yet none have returned, vanishing without a trace due to the strange conditions within.

A place of nothingness, and yet, it continues to draw those who believe the secrets of the cosmos lie hidden there. Legends claim that cultivators may find opportunities to ascend to realms beyond their current comprehension. These tales stem from the strange aura and energy that emanates from the Point of the Beginning.

There is a mysterious form of primordial energy present that no being has ever been able to absorb. Any attempt to do so results in violent consequences, as their body will explode because they cannot contain it.

Long Shentian once visited the surroundings of the Point of the Beginning to see it for himself. The energy he sensed was strange, filled with chaos, yet overwhelming in its power. Eventually, the beings of the cosmos gave it a name, Primordial Chaos Energy.

Why does he think Aldrian’s strength might have a direct connection to the Point of Beginning?

The primordial chaos energy he sensed in that place is different from Aldrian’s famous golden energy.

The primordial chaos energy contains tremendous power but is filled with chaos. It is uncontrollable and dangerous, yet it seems compatible with any energy in cosmos.

Aldrian’s golden energy is the opposite of the primordial chaos energy. Every time his emperor uses that energy, he feels order and warmth from it. Although his emperor can control its properties, the essence remains the same—it is order.

However, despite all of that, he still feels that the two energies are somehow related. The golden energy that Aldrian has and the primordial chaos energy share two things in common—

These energies can only be found in one place. The golden energy exists only in his emperor’s body, and the primordial chaos energy exists in the Point of Beginning.

And also, these two energies are compatible with all elements or energies, but they cannot be absorbed like normal energy. Well, he and Feng Xuanyan are exceptions, since they can store Aldrian’s golden energy, but that is only because of Aldrian’s doing, and they have no idea how he did it.

These two energies are like two sides of the same coin.

These reasons alone are already enough for him to feel suspicious about Aldrian’s connection to the Point of Beginning. With Aldrian’s inexplicable strength, his suspicion only grew stronger.

But then he stopped thinking about the matter, he did not really care where Aldrian came from. He shrugged inwardly and decided to move on. He was already dead anyway, and this was the least of his concerns.

Now the problem was, if those invaders were truly looking for something like their emperor’s energy—or anything connected to him—then Aldrian’s journey would become even more dangerous.

"Well, I’ll take note of that. It could be true, since we don’t really know what they’re looking for," Aldrian said after thinking for a moment.

"But this guy, Tarius, seems really intent on descending to this land. Even if he’s someone at the level of a Master of the Universe, it’s still quite challenging for him to descend to the Ninth Heaven," he added.

Feng Xuanyan nodded.

"Your Majesty must be careful. If Tarius truly wants to descend to this continent, it will be far more devastating than the Great War three million years ago. From the looks of it, the devils must be using some kind of catalyst to help Tarius weaken the heavenly laws once more—and this time, the effect will be even more severe than before," she said.

"Even at the level of a Master of the Universe, weakening the heavenly laws is no easy feat. From my understanding, there’s no way for him to descend with his full power. No matter how weak the heavenly laws of the Ninth Heaven are, if he tries to descend with his real body and full strength, he will trigger a heavenly punishment powerful enough to endanger his life."

"Still, even if he uses an avatar or some kind of clone with only a fraction of his strength, it’s still a difficult feat. He would still need to rely on his cultivation base. From our guess, he must be using some kind of catalyst to do it."

Aldrian fell silent for a moment, something coming to mind. A catalyst? Something that could weaken the heavenly laws and support a portion of Tarius’ true power in descending?

His thoughts shifted to the devils’ recent activities—no—even further back, a few years ago.

The devils’ activities had spiked in the past few years, and all of them brought destruction and the loss of many lives. Many of these incidents seemed like typical devil behavior, but some of them raised questions.

For example, the war with the Doria Empire more than two years ago. Some parties within the empire, including members of the imperial family—were suspicious of the devils’ motives. That was because the devils didn’t appear to have a clear objective. They simply withdrew after he killed the Lust Devil and destroyed one of their fortresses.

The only result of the war was the destruction of the border region—nothing more.

However, what if that event was actually part of a larger plan? What if it was one of the catalysts used to summon Tarius?

Aldrian frowned again. What worried him most was likely true. The devils might have orchestrated all of that as part of the process to summon Tarius. And the fact that the devils’ activities had suddenly stopped a few days ago gave him a bad feeling, that the summoning had already begun.

But then, one question confused him.

"Why would Tarius go through all this trouble if he could just descend to the Ninth Heaven himself? I mean, as long as he seals his cultivation like you did, couldn’t he come down on his own?" he asked.

Feng Xuanyan smiled when she heard that. freewebnσvel.cøm

"No, he can’t do that. He’s much different from weaklings who haven’t reached a certain cultivation stage—those who can still infiltrate the lower heavens. A being of his caliber is already beyond what the heavenly laws of the Ninth Heaven can tolerate. And he’s from another universe, his existence isn’t something that should be here in the first place," she said.

"Unless he or anyone on the invaders’ side—can take full control of the heavenly laws of the Ninth Heaven, there’s no way he can descend whenever he wants. And from the looks of it, neither he nor the invaders have succeeded in fully controlling the heavenly laws of this heaven yet. As for the other fallen heavens, their laws have already been completely overtaken."

"But even then, it takes a very, very long time to gain full control over a heaven and its laws. They need to ’assimilate’ themselves with the heaven first."

"They must be really impatient to reach this place," Long Shentian said with a sneer. "To force their way here through all this trouble without controlling the heavenly laws first... they must be in a real hurry to eliminate us."

"Anyway, they’re much different from us, who were born in this universe," Feng Xuanyan continued. "The heavenly laws recognize us, so they’re more lenient toward us. That’s why we can descend to the lower heavens as long as we seal our cultivation."

Aldrian nodded in understanding. So that was it. Everything made sense now, and the catalyst might indeed be necessary for Tarius to descend.

"Your Majesty, with the invaders already in control of eight heavens, your future journey will be difficult. In those places, even the heavens themselves may stand against you, because they are now under the invaders’ control," Feng Xuanyan said.

"However, I—no, we believe you can reclaim them all and overcome everything ahead. You are someone destined for greatness. All of us, your followers, have already paved the way for you and have been waiting for your return for a long time."

"Even I brought the Origin Sword, though it is already broken, because it also participated in the Great War—so that Your Majesty can find it as a clue to the blueprint of the sword. The sword that you personally created with your own hands and left behind in the First Heaven. A sword that only you can use, although you never used it seriously," Long Shentian added with a smile.

"The sword’s blueprint—the one you gave to the blacksmith god Vaneris to study and learn from—we brought it as well, along with all the materials needed to create it. We left everything on this continent, hoping that the people here might be able to forge it. If they could, then Your Majesty might be able to use it when the time comes."

Aldrian inhaled deeply and nodded. Once again, he was truly thankful for everything they had done.

But then, he slightly stunned—when he saw their feet beginning to flicker and turn translucent. His heart tightened. He knew what that meant. He looked at them with trembling eyes, but they still smiled at him.

"I think this is it, Your Majesty," Feng Xuanyan said. "Now it’s our turn to say goodbye."
