Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3995 A Brighter Star

"I've long heard of Bolonx's Dark Mansion. The lineage of the Goddess of the Underworld has unpredictable methods and extraordinary abilities. It's truly remarkable." After his initial surprise, Wind Chaser Liufeng started clicking his tongue.

Ryufeng was shocked and puzzled by how Crazy Bear managed to win this speed contest. His opponent, Yuzhen, was kicked away and he felt great about taking third place.

He tried to recall the crazy bear's running movements and the wind-attribute energy surrounding it. No matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem particularly outstanding, but its speed was ridiculously fast. On the return trip, it even performed an unreasonable super acceleration and had the time to kick Youzhen into the sea.

Is it possible that because the Mad Bear isn't human, it doesn't need to adjust its breathing? That's a possibility.

He was still considering whether to ask Imiwu how she did it, because in Liufeng's opinion, no matter how powerful the Mad Bear was, all its skills must have come from its master. Then he wondered if it was a secret technique of the Goddess of the Underworld Moon, so asking would be pointless.

Liu Feng silently made up his mind that after this, he would go to the forbidden Storm Hills of the Demon Realm again to hone his Liu Feng Technique in the endless, raging storms there, and thus touch more of the primordial wind. In the realm of wind attributes, he would never admit defeat.

"Brother Xiong, how did you do that? I've never seen you use it like that back in the God Realm." Youzhen didn't deny it and asked directly, then asked Xiong how he achieved such speed.

Learning from each other's strengths and making up for each other's weaknesses is the truth.

Moreover, considering that this bear is related to the Imi Witch, which is also related to the Night Forest, it would naturally be tainted with some extraordinary qualities. Then, after learning from his own captain, Bati, that the Night Forest might be an existence that surpasses the Hermit and the Mist God, he was not so upset.

Crazy Bear reached into the pocket of the gentleman's tuxedo and pulled out a feather that glowed with a bluish-green light. The moment he took it out, the howling wind at the highest peak stopped abruptly, as if he had suddenly been placed indoors with the windows closed.

"This is... a feather?" Yuma felt it looked familiar, and its appearance resembled the tail feathers shed by the talkative Dominis of his own fleet.

Arosa used to collect those feathers, making the larger ones into dusters and the finer down into stuffing for her clothes.

Looking at the obviously extraordinary feather, Liu Feng had already made a connection to something, and his eyes lit up instantly, with a hint of disbelief in them.

However, before he could ask further, Yue Na diverted everyone's attention with another topic, reminding him:

"Don't you guys think that the stars in the sky seem brighter?"

Due to the unique structure of the eight directions of the Demon Realm, when most of the Staten Island region is shrouded in darkness, one can see a golden ocean of light from the highest peak of Mount Kreitkil, which is incredibly dazzling. The heavens and the earth seem like two different worlds, so people have come up with some theories about the origin of the legend... that there are gods living in the ocean of light, with their own sacred domain, but they are nowhere to be seen, so the idea is that they have perished, and this is the ruins of the god's kingdom.

Now, as time progresses and night falls, Staten Island, including its highest peak, is completely shrouded in darkness. However, because other areas still retain some light, and with the bright stars and the high-hanging moon, the environment is not yet pitch black.

After hearing Yuena's reminder, everyone looked up at the sky. The deep darkness was the eternal background of the universe, and the stars were like pearls randomly placed on the background. In contrast, each light appeared very bright and extremely precious. Their positions were not fixed, but showed some kind of mysterious pattern.

In the universe, almost every civilization has its own study of the stars. They believe that the light and trajectory of the stars must contain some kind of secret, and they have given special meanings to some of the brightest stars. They also believe that the stars can show good or bad fortune, and that they can see a corner of the future so that they can take precautions, either by following the trend or by trying to defy fate.

"It seems a bit brighter." Yuzhen compared what she saw now with the memories in her mind. The gods and demons both saw the same starry sky, but not the same moon.

Yusha gave a definitive answer: things were indeed different. She possessed the forbidden Ring of Domination and had also made a pact with a large number of Eclipse Worms and the ancient dark warrior Ramos. For Domination-type summoners, the Demon Moon Delarion was an entity that needed to be observed at all times, and naturally, she was also very sensitive to other celestial bodies.

Only Liu Feng looked blank. He focused on the speed of his feet and the wind around his body, paying almost no attention to celestial bodies and phenomena. He was not even familiar with the most famous stars, such as the North Star.

A strange ray of light drifted from all the stars in the sky, like the unique dissipation of a drop of thick ink into clear water, slow and serene. Imi Wu said it was very similar to the reversed flow of celestial light that Sonar had mentioned.

Ye Lin pondered for a moment, then contacted Rossello in Wuxuan Town, the center of the Earth Rail, and asked if the stars in the sky had changed from her perspective, and if she could see a wisp of dissipation.

Rossello glanced at the bright sun outside the window, remained silent for a few seconds, and couldn't help but complain:

"It's daytime here... so are you in the Quest region or the Staten Island region?"

Then, Rossello walked to the window, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the complex constellations of stars in the sky were clearly reflected in them. She had used a secret astrological technique to shield herself from the sun's influence during the day and to look directly at the essence of the stars.

“Nothing has changed. Maybe it’s just regional influence? No, my astrology seems to be particularly active, more so than before… Sulfana, come and take a look.”

Rossello summoned Sulfana, who was pondering something behind a hidden door in her office. Sulfana was dressed in a gorgeous and sexy court dress with an ingenious design. It seemed to cover all the important parts, but it cleverly highlighted her graceful figure, such as her high breasts and rounded hips. There were also perfectly cut-out sections on the waist, abdomen, and thighs, revealing small patches of fair and delicate female skin.

Queen Goruda, already possessing captivating charm, is now even more alluring and seductive, with an irresistible allure.

She's recently been embroiled in a feud with that "pheasant" from Brooklyn who roams the Moller Valley, trying to outdo each other in every way. They're both birds, so they're naturally at odds.

Sulfana also shielded herself from the sun's rays to observe the stars in the sky. The result was that the stars' light was normal, and everything was as before, at least from her perspective.

Rossello thus came to a roughly accurate conclusion: only near Mount Corretkiel, and with his own astrological abilities, could one see the mysterious glimmer of light emanating from the stars, and there might be some connection between them.

"Speaking of which, I forgot to ask," Sulfana said, looking at her best friend and intimate bedmate with whom she shared a husband, with a puzzled expression.

"Your innate talent is fire magic, and the three Norni sisters, who underwent a fundamental evolution after obtaining a drop of the Water of Life, are proficient in all attributes and possess the ability to combine. Where did you learn astrology from, from the creator Luke?"

Rossello also has a good grasp of other elements, which is understandable. A racial talent in one area does not determine the future development of the entire race. Rossello can be regarded as having magical talent second only to Norni.

Take, for example, the Flame Cat Xia Lun. She's half-apprentice of Gu Yu, and her skills in assassination and scouting surpass even fire-attribute talents because of her exceptional agility and speed. Then there's the astrological prophecy—how could such an extraordinary ability be related to the Otherworldly Race? They seem completely unrelated.

Furthermore, Rossello's astrological skills are not just empty words; she can actually see a glimpse of the future. The future of the Otherworldly race rests on the adventurers, which is the result of her observations.

She also saw a dragon soaring into the sky, which was later identified as the primordial dragon Sophie. The alien race, having supported Bakal during the Dragon War, were ostracized by the demon realm after their defeat. Sophie then proclaimed the return of the dragons, assuring them that the people protected by the Dragon King would no longer be treated unfairly.

Rossello recalled for a moment, shook his head slightly and then nodded, saying, "The divination technique that Lord Luke possesses is a power that only royalty on the mechanical planet Hebron can use. Those without royal blood cannot use it, and theoretically, even if you teach it to others, they will not be able to learn it."

However, there is one exception in the Demon Realm who, despite not being of royal blood, has used powerful royal secret techniques—that is the wicked woman Hilder.

"My astrology doesn't come directly from Lord Luke's power, but it is indeed related to him. Astrology is a power that Lord Luke collected in the Demon Realm and eventually gave to me to use. I don't know exactly where I got it from."

Next, Rossello took out his staff called the "Staff of Wisdom," one of its most distinctive features being that the magic crystal on it was a complete Dark Eye, completely different from the fragmented Dark Eye of Sonar. One of these staffs was equivalent to a high-ranking member of the Kashuriken.

The Dark Eye on this wand was also a gift from Lord Luke.

Later, Ye Lin upgraded the wand, turning the Dark Eye into a drop of divine blood from the source of the Dark Eye.

"So, my astrology might have come from Staten Island?" Rossello guessed, the unusual star phenomenon might be related to legend.

"I'll go take a look."

……

Koretkil Mountain.

The stars emitted a ray of light invisible to the naked eye. Only in certain areas, or by mastering specific secret techniques, could one glimpse the strange phenomena that were changing. There must be some kind of connection between them.

Ye Lin saw that the mountains suddenly possessed a mysterious aura, each peak seemed to flow with mystery, and then echoed the stars in the sky. The mountains of all sizes and the stars of varying brightness were connected in a hidden way.

Furthermore, Yuena discovered the deepest thread, which connected to a desolate valley. It was a barren place with boulders and little soil, where water flowed swiftly only during rainfall. It was a place of no value.

She speculated, "Could that be the highest peak that Yuxia mentioned before, destroyed by the fall of the gods, which has been eroded into a valley over countless years?"

The connection with the stars is now strengthening, and starlight is converging within it, making the wonders of this region impossible to conceal.

Not long after, the strange phenomenon mentioned by the healer Sonar occurred again. The sky seemed to have suddenly torn open, presenting a funnel-shaped shape. The starlight that had scattered in the universe naturally gathered towards the lowest point, and then broke through the sky of the demon realm. The light poured in in large swaths and slowly fell towards Mount Koretkiel.

Now, everyone believes that even if the rumors of the gods' demise are false, there must be some unknown secret in this region.

The sight of sunlight pouring in lasted only a few minutes before the funnel collapsed, the hole seemed to be filled, and the stars returned to their places, each emitting a hazy yet constant radiance.

If Sonar hadn't happened to be here, given the unique nature of this phenomenon, which can only be seen in special regions, the fact that the timing of the reversed sunlight has yet to be determined, and the lack of human habitation... it's estimated that for a very long time to come, no one will know about the strange phenomenon occurring in these mountains.

Yue Na and the others looked at Ye Lin, asking him to make a decision. The location where the sunlight was pouring in had been determined. Should they blast open that place to see the truth? The secret should be hidden beneath the earth.

"Wait a minute, you two, hurry up and get yourselves checked out." Imiwu suddenly spoke up, pointing at Liufeng and Youzhen.

She remembered that there was a mysterious energy attached to Sonar's body that occasionally caused him to experience negative states such as weakness, dizziness, and mental exhaustion, and the frequency of these symptoms had been increasing recently.

They are all at the Transcendent Realm, and the mysterious external force of the Starry Sky Light cannot erode their bodies. Moreover, Yue Na's Archangel physique has long been immune to all negative states. However, Liu Feng and You Zhen are different; they are far from reaching that level.

Sure enough, the two of them immediately turned pale as they sensed the intrusion of abnormal energy into their bodies.

"Silent and without warning, I didn't feel a thing. How did it invade?" Youzhen clenched his fists and looked around warily. This was even more bizarre than the demonic energy in the God Realm before. He had fallen victim to it without even realizing it.

“Eyes.” Ye Lin continued gazing at the starry sky, saying, “The seeds were sown the moment you witnessed the stars dissipate.”

"Seeds? Will dandelions grow inside me, and I'll use two flowers to replace my eyes?" Yuzhen retorted, not too worried about her own problems.

Normally, the problem would be solved if the root cause of the anomaly was found and eliminated. The target has been basically identified, and if all else fails, there are still adventurers.

Imiwu tossed two poorly made dolls over, instantly removing the curse from them. Looking at the now radiant dolls in her hand, she said:
"It's somewhat similar to the extraterrestrial life form Star Color that you described."

She quickly confirmed that there was no extraterrestrial aura. In fact, the extraterrestrial gods had been quite well-behaved recently and had not caused any trouble in the original universe. It should be that Naya and the others had been working very effectively.

“Start digging.” Ye Lin nodded. The secret should be hidden underground in the Koretkil Mountains. Cutting open that place will bring it to light.

Yuxia opened the magic book at her waist and used a recorded earth magic spell to split open the valley area she had already chosen, allowing the sunlight to pour in from below.
