...

At the same time.

Dusk Holy Temple, Fire Dragon Hall.

Fiery clouds soared into the sky, a figure flew into the void.

Red Emperor Heaven.

The Fire Dragon Knight appeared.

He gazed at the surrounding tribulations, hundreds of images of power surging forth, along with a star like the sun opening its indifferent Golden Dragon Eyes.

"My level-10 tribulation is much weaker than the commander’s.

Indeed, the hardest part is being a Pioneer, it gets a bit easier later on."

The Fire Dragon Knight activated the "Fire Dragon Brilliance Extreme Book."

A great sun-shaped circular Sword Qi slashed out!

"Come on!"

An unknown dimension.

The second Star Knight of the Dusk Holy Temple began his tribulation.

Watching his comrades fighting in the astral world, the Fire Dragon Knight could no longer wait.

...

Nora Calendar 4630.

Three figures traversed the Sea of Ruins.

They were the Gondor Three Heroes.

Their final assassination target was the Amethyst Saint.

Suddenly, Gandaph’s expression shifted, and he stopped to look into the distance.

Victor and the Holy Infant also halted, showing regret.

The [Heavenly Chopping Channel] was broadcasting the latest battle report:

[Under the command of Paradise Walker Soraya and Peak Walker Laplace, the Mountain Giant Battle Group encountered an assassination by the "Shadow Lord." Laplace sacrificed himself, Soraya was severely injured, and there were heavy casualties amongst the Mountain Giant Battle Group.

All members of the Mountain Giant Battle Group were awarded the Heroic Medal.

Laplace was awarded the Group Stars Medal.]

Such casualty reports occurred daily.

Gandaph and the others were already accustomed to it.

But this time, it was an old friend who had walked thousands of years of history.

Their hearts couldn’t help but feel heavy.

Gandaph got in touch with Soraya.

He learned that she had returned to Nora and was receiving treatment, her life was not in danger.

Victor asked:

"Are we going to hunt down the Shadow Lord?"

Gandaph said:

"When the astral world is destroyed, Laplace’s vengeance will naturally be avenged."

Ace said:

"After the war, when the Universe’s supreme treasure [Star Monument] is built, their names will hang in the sky like stars for thousands of years, revered by all, eternal and undying!"

Star Monument.

This was the vision of the Supreme Council.

It would be tens of millions of miles tall, able to withstand supreme attacks without being destroyed.

It would be both a wonder, to commemorate martyrs and those who sacrificed for civilization.

Those with the Heroic Medal and Group Stars Medal are guaranteed to be listed on it.

It is also a supreme treasure, possessing the function of guarding Nora’s fortune, and those listed on the Star Monument, whether in this life or the next, can receive fortune’s blessing.

...

Twenty years later.

A figure was suspended in the air over the Sorren Continent, his face weathered and old, it was the Sea Covering Wizard, student of the Black Abyss Sovereign.

His lifespan approaching its limit, he felt infinite emotions.

"Although it’s a nine deaths scenario, I still have to give it a try."

Watched by friends and family, he embarked on the legendary path.

Ever since, he never returned.

For every great general’s success, countless bones are buried; before the legendary path, regrets abound.

Upon learning the news, the mentor Black Abyss Sovereign above the astral world sighed.

"What a pity."

No time for more emotions.

He continued to lead the legion, advancing toward the Forest of Myriad Phenomena.

All along the way, as a teacher, he had already bid farewell to too many students.

"Ahead, we’re nearing the Shadow Lord’s Divine Domain."

...

Star Zone 106.

The knights of the Fire Dragon Apostle Group were resting.

Everyone’s face was filled with fatigue and joy.

This star zone had quite a few belief lands of the Shadow Lord.

If they all were obliterated, this entity’s power could fall to the level of a Weak God.

Such assassination assassin-type Gods were too tricky.

He roamed the astral world, using power to oppress the weak, taking many compatriots’ lives.

The Supreme Council ordered, to prioritize resolving the Shadow Lord.

After resting, the vice commander said:

"Brothers, let’s get to work!"

"Capture this place, and we can go home."

Everyone was full of confidence.

They didn’t notice an approaching shadow silently.

The shadow condensed a scythe, slicing through the heavens and earth, attacking the battle group.

The power of this strike was beyond what level-10 could withstand.

The Shadow Lord stealthily arrived.

Killing intent erupted, the knights’ expressions turned aghast.

"Damn insect, die!"

The resentful voice of the Shadow Lord sounded, revealing a hideous face.

He had given up everything, only for revenge against Nora.

"You are the insect, damn it... it’s you!"

Boom! The great sun crossed the sky, illuminating the darkness.

A majestic figure shone with crimson light, appearing.

The shadow melted and faded like ice and snow.

"Fire Dragon Knight?!"

The Shadow Lord looked at the newcomer, his expression horrified.

This guy had also ascended to level-10?

And just reaching level-10, he gave the Shadow Lord a sense of deadly danger.

Boom! The great sun Sword Qi exploded, blowing the Shadow Lord away.

He knew this person was not to be trifled with, and chose not to resist, instead retreating.

"Sky Brilliance Slash!"

The Fire Dragon Knight slashed with his greatsword, the Sword Qi engulfing the Shadow Lord’s figure.

Without much struggle, the Shadow Lord dissipated.

The Fire Dragon Knight walked through the air, his brow slightly furrowed.

"Incarnation of divine power..."

He temporarily disregarded the person, looking at the battle group and said:

"Is everyone alright."

Seeing it was the commander, everyone’s surprise turned to delight.

"We’re fine! Commander, you’ve also reached level-10?"

"Yes, I’ve been promoted to Star Knight."

"Hahaha, that’s great, commander is mighty!"

"Damn Shadow Lord, ran in disarray when scared by the commander."

...

Abyss Layer 610.

Upon learning of the Fire Dragon Knight’s promotion, the Chaos Emperor stopped his work and specifically sent a congratulatory message, and "video called" with the Fire Dragon Knight.

Levi said:

"Congratulations!

While I’m not here, the work of the Dusk Holy Temple is entrusted to you."

The Fire Dragon Knight said:

"Rest assured, commander, I’m really looking forward to the day when other knights are also promoted to Star Knights."

Levi sighed and said:
