A moment ago.

While the play of "True and False Spirit" was being performed in the Starry Sky Temple, Wu Wang was fully immersed in his enlightenment.

Little did Wu Wang know that his mother was undergoing a severe test.

Without any warning, the Heavenly Palace made a move and entered the domain of the Star God, claiming the disturbance in the North Sea as the reason. When the Star God did not respond, they rushed into the Star God's palace.

Naturally, Wu Wang had no idea that his mother was exerting all her mental and spiritual strength, influencing the minds of the six Sun Festival participants, and even the old woman who would appear later, all of whom were carefully cultivated puppets by her.

And Wu Wang would never have expected...

The original spirit of the Stellar Disk, which Elemental Infant risked his life to protect, would return to him in an instant when it returned to the essence of the Star God.

At that moment, Wu Wang was contemplating two questions:

How can he describe the Stellar Dao of the Star God in a way that he can understand?

And how can he redefine the Stellar Dao in his own way?

To be honest, Wu Wang couldn't get past the entire "Tao Te Ching," and he only knew the famous poems that his teachers required him to memorize in middle school. When he needed to use some tactics before, he could only vaguely recall half of the "Thirty-Six Stratagems."

But he was an outstanding pilot of the Blue Star spacecraft.

In order to get the final opportunity, he not only strived to be the best in physical training but also achieved remarkable results in the various courses arranged by the instructors.

For example, an overview of astrophysics.

He didn't need to study these theories or master the formulas, but as an explorer, he had to have some understanding.

Singularity explosions, vacuum tides, black hole evaporation theory, pulsars, celestial evolution, cosmic rays, and so on.

Compared to mastering a spacecraft with countless buttons, learning this knowledge was just a pastime for Wu Wang after school.

This was his expertise.

And at this moment, he carefully felt the Stellar Origin Dao and analyzed the Star God's understanding of the Stellar Origin Dao.

Wu Wang was able to extract a few simple characteristics.

The Star God believed:

"The stars have existed for eternity and revolve around the heavens and earth according to certain laws, giving rise to the changes in the constellations.

The stars are immortal and unique, and each star bestows a different Stellar Power attribute to the Great Wasteland.

Stellar Power is a type of spiritual energy.

The intersection of two galaxies is the gathering place of stellar power in the starry sky.

The stars cannot be touched, and what we see in the sky is only their projection."

Wu Wang fell into contemplation.

The Great Wasteland was very special. Based on what Wu Wang knew, it did not conform to the concept of a round heaven and square earth—when viewed from the air, the earth had a curvature.

Nor did it conform to the characteristics of a planet—there was a barrier to the east of the East Sea, and it did not directly reach the West Wilderness. After the barrier, there was an endless ocean.

When Wu Wang had just learned to condense wings with the Star-Praying Technique, he had explored this question. At that time, he concluded that the Great Wasteland was close to the concept of a round heaven and square earth, indeed a mythical world.

He had been frustrated for a long time because of this, feeling that he had entered a completely unfamiliar world.

But now, as Wu Wang continued to ponder the Stellar Dao, he became more convinced:

"The uniqueness of the Great Wasteland is only because it is too special. What I knew before can still be traced."

"So, how do I describe the stars?"

Elemental Infant, Wu Wang, opened his eyes and pushed open the portal that appeared in front of him at some unknown time. In front of him was a vast and distant starry sky.

He spread his arms and swam freely between heaven and earth. The starry sky he saw gradually overlapped with the "cosmic models" he knew and had seen before.

It was the elliptical galaxy swirling in the dark universe, performing a dance with billions of stars;

It was the brilliance that flickered in the deep void when a supernova erupted;

It was the powerless sigh of those starlights that couldn't catch up with the expansion speed of the universe, and it was also the cause-and-effect relationship that was severed because of the distance.

Wu Wang murmured to himself:

"The stars cannot be touched because they are too far away from me. What we see is only their past appearance;

The intersection of two galaxies is just the intertwining of the walls of two giant star systems about to collide.

Stellar Power cannot be defined. It is related to the Great Wasteland's Stellar Origin Dao and should be a collection of various types of radiation.

Most of the shining spots in the starry sky are aggregations of countless stars, and we can only use the power they transmit to this place.

Stars have a lifespan."

Existence is negation.

In that instant, the frustration in Wu Wang's heart was suddenly relieved.

In his starry sea, a wall seemed to appear before him, formed by the convergence of starlight.

Wu Wang sat cross-legged in mid-air and faced this wall, suddenly bursting into laughter.

So, this is the barrier.

The barrier set by the Star God on the Stellar Dao is her definition of the starry sky, her interpretation of the stars, and her way of standardizing the perception of all beings who come into contact with this path.

Because she is the Star God, her definition resonates with the Dao.

But is this definition really correct?

A profound realization emerged in Wu Wang's heart, and he faintly heard the sound of a bell.

As if the Dao, which exists in the depths of the universe and bestows countless "divine attributes" to the Dao, was observing Wu Wang.

Wu Wang said:

"All stars are the aggregation of the smallest things."

The wall in front of him quietly melted away.

Wu Wang stood up and walked forward slowly.The starry sky appeared with brilliant light, countless stars surrounded Wu Wang. They gradually blurred and turned into elliptical galaxies, forming a spiderweb-like path of stars.

Another wall appeared ahead, blocking Wu Wang's path.

Wu Wang pondered carefully and said, "Stars generate power by burning themselves."

Cracks appeared on the wall in front of him, and it shattered like a broken mirror.

Wu Wang continued walking, and the stars surrounding him transformed into orange, red, light blue, and white fireballs.

The third wall appeared as expected.

Without hesitation, Wu Wang said, "The stars we see are not their true forms. The power of the stars is not intentionally sent to the Great Wasteland, but scattered in all directions."

The third barrier collapsed with a loud crash.

Wu Wang kept moving forward, breaking down one barrier after another with his words.

This was a battle of the Dao.

It was also a redefinition of the path that traversed the Great Wasteland and the understanding of the stars.

Furthermore, it was about seizing the interpretation of the stars.

Wu Wang knew that he was currently victorious, as the consciousness of the Star God had been erased by his mother, and no one would come to argue with him.

He continued to move forward, constantly speaking, but he had to use the concept of the Great Wasteland to describe this magnificent universe.

Even if his understanding of the universe was only a fraction of a percent, it was enough to correct the limited ideas of the Star God, who had never left the Great Wasteland.

It was like using the theory of the Big Bang to refute the geocentric theory without considering whether people in that era could understand it.

What a delightful enlightenment!

At this moment, there was nothing unusual about the world of the Great Wasteland, but the light of the stars in the sky became even brighter!

Wu Wang said, "The ultimate mystery of the universe exists in the starry sky, and the Dao runs through it. I stand above the Dao."

"In this world, the rising and setting of the sun and moon have nothing to do with the starry sky."

"The stars are just the appearance of the stars, and the star calendar is just a description of the stable composition of the stars. The rotation of the stars has nothing to do with the fate of the living beings in the world. Living beings should not have a predetermined fate."

"The aggregation of tiny things forms the stars, and the stars have their own weight. The compression of the universe by the stars causes distortion, and the compressed universe will exert a pulling force on other stars."

"The stars do not possess consciousness in the observable dimension of living beings."

"The power of the stars does not solely come from the visible stars."

One wall after another crumbled and collapsed, turning into dust and dissipating into nothingness.

Wu Wang sat cross-legged in his tent, a confident smile on his lips. He appeared relaxed, and the aura of the Dao fluctuated around him. His Elemental Infant cast a faint shadow in front of him, and his Golden Elixir trembled in his Qi Sea.

The path to immortality was now open!

A transcendent transformation was about to begin!

Suddenly!

The smile on Wu Wang's lips froze, and his expression momentarily showed astonishment.

At this moment, the remnant consciousness of the Ten Thousand Star Disk Spirit, which was about to be annihilated, released the last strand of the Star God's will. Cang Xue was about to confront this last strand of the Star God's will in front of sixteen Sky God-level experts, completely exposing everything...

Wu Wang's state of enlightenment.

Instead of walls appearing before his eyes, there was a blurry figure.

This figure had long hair flowing like a waterfall, and the upper body vaguely resembled that of a woman, while the lower body resembled that of a spirit snake.

Before Wu Wang could react, the woman walked out of the "wall" and appeared in front of him. Her eyes, devoid of any emotions, showed a hint of movement.

"Who are you?" she asked.

The visitor was the Star God.

The oppressive feeling emanating from her overwhelmed Wu Wang, making his hair stand on end.

Subconsciously, he touched the necklace hanging on his chest, but at this moment, he couldn't sense his mother's presence.

The consciousness of the Star God!

No, the consciousness of the Star God was not erased by his mother...

A sense of unease arose in Wu Wang's heart, but at this moment, he had no way to retreat.

His intuition told him that if he turned back, retreated, or even delayed in answering, the Star God would crush him directly.

Crush him on the level of the Dao!

"I am a Moon Festival," Wu Wang said calmly, "a Moon Festival who prays to you every day."

The figure of the Star God was enveloped in a faint starlight. She changed her appearance and took on the form of a pre-heavenly body, a beauty that combined the beauty of the starry sky.

But no matter how beautiful this appearance was, Wu Wang had no mood to appreciate it.

At this moment, he truly felt the strength of a Heavenly Emperor-level expert.

Even Shen Nong, the senior, was slightly inferior to the Star God.

The Star God's slender figure was wrapped in a simple long dress. She gazed at Wu Wang and suddenly spoke, "You are comprehending the Dao of the stars, but you have comprehended a completely different Dao of the stars from mine."

"Could it be that you come from beyond the celestial canopy? How do you know about the situation beyond the celestial canopy?"

Wu Wang's heart skipped a beat.

His biggest secret was almost exposed by the Star God!

"I was just fantasizing..."

"The Dao has recognized your path, and the stars have responded to your path."

A trace of melancholy flashed through the Star God's phoenix-like eyes. "The Dao has many mistakes in my words."

Wu Wang carefully considered his words and said slowly, "Nothing in the Dao is constant and unchanging. Everything is constantly evolving."

She suddenly asked, "Are the stars not stars?"

Wu Wang answered, "Most of the stars we see are not stars because the individual brightness of a single star is too weak in this sky."

"The light of the stars comes from the stars burning themselves, right?""When the stars are large enough, they will bear great pressure. Just like the blessed fierce beasts, they cannot support themselves due to their immense size and must be supported by a force similar to a barrier.

When the pressure becomes too great, various changes will occur in the core of the stars. If they can be completely ignited, they will emit a brilliant light.

Even if they cannot be completely ignited, there will still be a faint glow."

"You mean, starlight?"

"Starlight is only the visible power of the stars, not all of their power."

"I have observed the starry sky since ancient times, and there have been slight changes."

"How long is ancient times?"

Wu Wang said, "Even for gods, the so-called ancient times is only a relatively long period of time. But compared to the changes in the starry sky, it is not long enough."

The two of them began a debate in Wu Wang's state of enlightenment using this question and answer format.

Meanwhile, inside the Starry Sky Temple.

The gods of the Heavenly Palace and the six Sun Festival participants, along with the Elderly Spirit of the Ten Thousand Star Disk, were staring at each other.

There was a slightly tense atmosphere.

One of the Sun Festival participants whispered, "Should we continue to persist? It is obvious that an evil god is framing us and trying to harm the Star God!"

"Let's wait a little longer."

Junior Deity of Lifespan closed her eyes, and the divine light around her became more intense. "I can sense that there is nothing abnormal in the starry sky. The Star God may be in the process of recovering."

At this moment, only Cang Xue knew that the Star God's consciousness was nowhere to be found and did not stay in the Star God's body.

What could be more important than the Star God regaining control of herself?

This made Cang Xue somewhat puzzled, and she couldn't bring herself to strike the wooden staff in her hand.

The cost was too great, and the chance of success was too small.

The consciousness of the Star God would definitely not go far. If she were to hide now, it would be endless trouble.

But would the Star God really hide?

That was not the nature of the Star God. That goddess was quite insane.

...

"Do you want to replace me and control the path of the stars?"

Wu Wang, who had stopped speaking in his state of enlightenment, stared at the figure standing in the starry sky ahead. When he heard the other party's question, he didn't know how to respond.

"I want to walk my own path."

Wu Wang said, "I am not a god, but a living being."

The Star God looked at Wu Wang and said slowly, "The path cannot be controlled by living beings. This is the rule. I will erase you in the simplest way."

"I will do my best to resist."

Wu Wang's expression was calm.

"Just resist?" The Star God tilted her head slightly. "Have you never thought about defeating me? Are you afraid, my people?"

Wu Wang:...

"Starlight tells me that you are a person from the North Wilderness. Let's make a bet."

"What kind of bet?"

"A duel between you and me, to decide whether there will be reincarnation of living beings in the North Wilderness."

The Star God stared at Wu Wang, and faint starlight appeared around her. She walked towards Wu Wang from the starry sky, and with each step, there would be flickering starlight under her feet, increasing the pressure on Wu Wang.

She calmly said:

"If you lose, I will bestow the blessing of the stars and let one-tenth of the North Wilderness tribes survive."

Wu Wang instinctively clenched his fists.

"Is this how gods treat their believers?"

"The gods of the heavens do not need believers."

The Star God's mouth curved into a charming smile.

"We created the heavens and earth, and living beings are just decorations between the heavens and earth.

You also trim the branches and leaves of the flowers and plants in your own courtyard, don't you?"

Wu Wang suddenly laughed.

He looked down at his own hands. At this moment, in this state of enlightenment, his physical body could not exert any strength, only the power of divine consciousness, his Elemental Infant, and his soul.

That's fine. The strength of the physical body was borrowed in the first place.

And the power he had now was cultivated by himself.

He murmured, "Heavenly Palace, North Wilderness, Kingdom of Women, Rain Mistress' Country... This is how you all are, you always act like this. Why should I have any expectations of you?"

"Kneel."

The Star God reprimanded lightly, and an infinite pressure enveloped Wu Wang. His body trembled, and his legs were bent under the pressure.

He suddenly raised his head, losing the faint smile from before, losing his calmness.

His eyes almost spewed fire, the veins on his neck bulged, and his bent legs slowly straightened. The almost collapsing "body" became more solid.

A tangerine-colored star appeared behind Wu Wang.

It was the star in the star system where his mother star was located.

It was the image he saw when he left the planet's orbit on a spaceship and looked back through the filtered strong light from the porthole.

"No one can make me kneel."

Wu Wang stared at the Star God, and the star behind him instantly changed. The clear spiral arms of the galaxy connected to form an elliptical disc, and the elliptical disc converged into a cluster of galaxies...

The pressure around the Star God became even stronger, and behind her was an endless and dazzling starry sea.

Suddenly, a black mass appeared behind Wu Wang, and within the darkness, there seemed to be faint "ripples" crossing.

"Spirit of defiance."

The Star God opened her left hand, and the stars behind her burst into boundless starlight!

The pressure increased even more!

"Defiance?"

Wu Wang exerted all his strength to lift his head, and the soul of his neck almost snapped.

He stared directly at the Star God, and more and more ripples appeared in the black mass behind him, as if foreshadowing something, gathering something, and indicating something!

The ripples suddenly erupted!The pressure around Wu Wang dissipated, and he felt lighter, even taking a step forward on his own initiative.

He advanced step by step towards the Star God who had already raised her left hand!

Murmuring words under his breath, the pitch-black behind him seemed ready to devour everything!

"You are here because you were born here.

And I am here because this is all I have comprehended at this moment!

You actually want to see my Dao, don't you?"

A hint of a cold smile tugged at the corners of Wu Wang's mouth, the leaping flames in his eyes receded, leaving a calm and clear gaze.

Behind him, endless ripples merged into one, the pitch-black area seemed to be rapidly receding.

Wu Wang sprinted with all his might!

A hymn of time and space erupted from his back!

It was a darkness from which light had not yet escaped, but within the pitch-black, there were already tangible things, and fluctuations had appeared in the void, overall uniform fluctuations with minute differences.

These differences were the stars!

The Star God's eyes were almost intoxicated, filled with surprise and astonishment. She could no longer shift her gaze from the pitch-black porridge, feeling the infinite power evenly spreading in the darkness, experiencing the imminent eruption.

It's coming!

Light was escaping from that porridge!

The tiny, weak figure also leaped up at the same time!

The pitch-black starry sky was filled with streaks of light, tangible objects like boundless dust.

The dust gathered, stars appeared, and the constant stars were shining. The overall distancing and regional gathering were surprisingly harmonious.

That was the definition of beauty at its inception!

A constant star suddenly collapsed.

The Star God's body trembled slightly, staring at the collapsing constant star, disregarding the enlarged fist in her line of sight. She was questioning, she was doubting, and the starlight behind her was instantly extinguished.

Bang...

The Star God's face collapsed, her figure was thrown backward, her body seemed to be on the verge of exploding.

Endless starlight burst out from behind Wu Wang, his body constantly trembling. Although he had no physical form at this moment, he could clearly feel his soul was on the verge of shattering.

His right hand was empty, and the Dao Soldier Star Sword at his spiritual platform quietly disappeared, already condensing in Wu Wang's palm.

"Ha, hahaha, hahahaha."

At this moment, the Star God suddenly laughed. Her laughter was filled with a strong sense of desolation, but also relief and joy.

She slowly stood up, her aura still oppressive, still domineering, revealing a divine power that almost filled the entire starry sky.

The corner of Wu Wang's mouth twitched slightly.

He seemed to see meteors falling from the sky onto various parts of the North Wilderness, the royal court turning into a sea of fire, and his clansmen crying out in fear.

Well, it's just a fight to the death.

Burn this soul, steady my spirit.

A silver-white flame appeared on Wu Wang's forehead, and his Dao rhyme was rapidly rising.

He would do everything he could to prevent the disaster in the North Wilderness. If he couldn't even defeat a strand of the Star God's divine soul, what was there to talk about...

"Burning soul? I like your temperament."

The Star God flicked her finger, and the flame on Wu Wang's forehead was forcibly pushed back.

She spoke as if discussing a trivial matter, saying slowly:

"Follow me. I am already a dying body. The Ice God has shattered my divine soul and will not let go of this lingering thought of mine. The Junior Deity of Lifespan is too stupid to stop the Ice God from making a move on me.

You are too weak at the moment to control the Dao of Stars, but your understanding of the Dao of Stars is enough for you to control this Dao in the future.

Follow me, and I will bury your mark in the origin of this Dao.

You need to become stronger as soon as possible, enhance your own strength as soon as possible, and prevent the Ice God from breaking the seal of heaven and earth. I will leave you a divine technique. You only need to annihilate thirty percent of the living beings in the North Wilderness to quickly possess the strength to accept this Dao.

The Dao of Stars is crucial.

By then, not to mention the North Wilderness, the whole world will fall into fear. The current Heavenly Palace is only enslaving the hundred clans, still leaving them a place to live. If that existence returns to the Great Wasteland, both gods and living beings will be slaughtered.

You... why aren't you leaving?"

Wu Wang looked up at the Star God.

Mother, Ice God.

Of course, this can't be said.

Wu Wang asked, "Thirty percent of the living beings?"

"Correct."

The Star God nodded lightly: "You can kill living beings that are not of your race. The thoughts of living beings can replenish divine power, or you can directly start a war and harvest divine thoughts."

Wu Wang's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The inexplicable sense of guilt that had just risen in his heart disappeared without a trace.
