The world descends on Sky Island: God-level talents are drawn at the beginning.

"Young friend Han Xing, would you like to join our Refining Heaven Alliance?" the gruff voice asked.

“I can promise the source that once you join the Refining Heaven Alliance, you will be directly included in the Holy Son sequence and enjoy the same treatment as the Eternal Disciple.”

"You can enter the core ruins of the Northern Region three times a month, study the Heaven Refining Divine Scroll at any time, and even receive personal guidance from Eternal!"

What do you think?

Upon hearing the astonishing conditions offered by the God of War, everyone present gasped in shock.

Even the withered old man's expression changed slightly. These conditions even surpassed those of some Eternal disciples!
The Lord of Desire and the others were ashen-faced. They knew very well that such temptation would be hard for any prodigy to resist.

At that moment, Han Xing raised his head, a smile appearing on his face.

At a time like this, only a fool would say no.

"Your kindness is greatly appreciated, senior..."

Before he could finish speaking, a disdainful voice suddenly came from the void: "Alright, Han Xing is a rising star in our Southern Region, so you guys from the Northern Region shouldn't interfere."

The moment that sound rang out, the entire area within sight, centered on the competition continent, seemed to fall into absolute stillness.

Time stood still, space froze, and even the drifting dust seemed to freeze in mid-air.

A blurry figure slowly walked out of the void, each step he took seemed to be on the pulse of the world, causing the laws of the entire Southern Region to tremble.

"Eternal...forever!"

The withered old man's voice trembled as he spoke with a look of terror on his face.

Meanwhile, the Lord of Desire, standing to the side, was as pale as a sheet, his pupils filled with disbelief.

"Eternity...how is that possible?"

"Why would an existence of this caliber personally intervene for a mere high-ranking lord!"

"This is impossible!"

He gritted his teeth, appearing utterly bewildered.

Meanwhile, the Dark Blade God Lord asked blankly, "Where are the experts from the Dark Abyss? Didn't they say they would help us hold off Eternity?"

Upon hearing this, the blurry figure chuckled softly: "Are you talking about these guys?"

The blurry figure gently raised its hand, and three corpses pierced by starlight chains immediately appeared in the void!

They were none other than the three high-ranking gods of the Dark Abyss! Their faces were still frozen with the expressions of terror they had before their deaths, and their divine bodies had long since been shattered.

"The people from the Dark Abyss have indeed arrived."

The eternally existing voice was eerily calm: "But now, they have fallen into eternal slumber within the spacetime rift."

"I originally wanted to use Korean stars to lure out a few more big fish, but in the end, I only managed to catch an eternal one..."

"The result... there were only three half-step Eternal beings. I'm quite disappointed..."

The three great gods were struck as if by lightning, their bodies trembling like leaves.

Their greatest asset had already been quietly eliminated!
"As for you."

The eternal being's gaze swept over the three, as if looking at a few insignificant ants. "Dare to touch the prodigies of my Southern Region? You must have been prepared for the worst, right?"

The withered old man suddenly knelt down and kowtowed frantically: "Great Eternal God, spare me! I was confused for a moment... I believed the rumors from the Dark Abyss!"

"Please give me another chance! I am willing to go to the Lord's battlefield and kill powerful enemies in exchange for my life!"

"Noisy."

With a gentle wave of his hand, the eternal being caused the withered old man's body to vanish like grains of sand in the wind.

Without a deafening explosion or a piercing scream, a mid-level god-lord was easily wiped out.

Upon seeing this, the Lord of Desire and the Lord of Dark Blade turned to flee.

But to their horror, they discovered that their bodies were gradually turning into specks of light and dissipating!

"No! This is impossible!" The Lord of Desire screamed hysterically, staring at his arm that was gradually becoming transparent. "I clearly already..."

The Dark Blade God looked desperately into the void: "My lord! You promised..."

Eternal Being snorted coldly and snapped its fingers.

"Snapped!"

The figures of the two deities instantly exploded into countless points of light, along with their unfinished words, dissipating into the void.

At this moment, the entire southern center of the Lord Continent fell into a brief silence.

The lords of those hundreds of billions of territories had not left even after the competition ended.

They all had a premonition that something big might happen today!

To their surprise, something big did happen, but its severity exceeded everyone's expectations.

An Eternal One has personally taken action!

Not only did they annihilate three beings who were half-step into eternity, they also casually wiped out three mid-level god-lords.

Immediately afterwards, the ethereal voice of that eternal being rang out once more.

"Lord of Desire, Lord of Bone-Corroding, Lord of Dark Blade..."

"Three native gods of the Southern Region, in alliance with the forces of the Dark Abyss, are plotting to seize our Southern Region's number one prodigy."

“Now execute him, along with all his subordinate forces and relatives.”

As his words fell.

The sky over half of the southern region suddenly changed color, as if some high-level power was descending and about to bring judgment!
In a distant star field, within the territory of the Lord of Desire, billions of believers living there were instantly annihilated.

They remained in the kneeling posture, their faces bearing a fanatical expression even before they completely disappeared.

In the Bone-Eating God Lord's Desolate Bone Demon Palace, countless disciples who were practicing evil arts suddenly froze.

They were horrified to discover that their bodies were turning to ashes, starting from their fingertips.

"Master... save me..."

One of the disciples had barely uttered half a cry for help when his entire head collapsed like grains of sand.

Tens of thousands of skull lamps inside the hall went out at the same time, and the imprisoned souls, before they could even cheer, returned to nothingness along with the demonic hall that imprisoned them.

Inside the secret realm of the Dark Blade Sect's Blade Tomb, the elders who were comprehending the essence of the blade suddenly coughed up blood.

The sword intent they had cultivated throughout their lives backfired on them, slowly tearing their flesh and blood apart.

The most terrifying thing was that the deadly swords stuck in the tomb broke off one by one on their own, as if bowing down to some supreme being to confess their sins.

In some more distant star systems, those beings who are related to the three great gods by blood, no matter what they are doing, are all frozen in place at the same moment.

A mother who was breastfeeding suddenly found that the baby in her arms had turned into a speck of light.

The burly man in the tavern, who was boasting that his ancestor was a god, disappeared into the horrified eyes of the patrons before he could finish his sentence.

Even a royal patriarch who was in seclusion breaking through to a higher realm was reduced to ashes at the crucial moment of his breakthrough...

This is the power of eternity.

Cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, severing all ties!
The entire Southern Region fell silent, and all the lords who witnessed this scene felt a chill run down their spines.

Those who had harbored ulterior motives towards Korean stars were trembling with fear, lest the next judgment fall upon them.

After a moment, the white-robed man slowly said, "Kuangzhan, the matter here has been resolved. Take your Liantian Alliance members back."

When he spoke, even the usually arrogant Berserker God dared not say anything more.

Instead, he bowed respectfully and said, "I will obey the eternal command."

The next moment, the burly figure disappeared from the spot.

At the same time, after doing all this, the Eternal One simply waved his hand lightly. Then, he and Han Xing disappeared from the spot.

The terrifying pressure that had enveloped half of the southern region also dissipated.

"call……"

Countless living beings breathed a sigh of relief, as if the mountain weighing on their hearts had finally been removed.

But that shivering feeling that originated from the soul lingered for a long time.

At this moment, in the territory of the Radiant Spirit.

Three figures gazed at the sky.

Linghui, Dashou, and Longyu had complicated expressions.

Based on what that person had just said, they roughly deduced the whole story.

They also knew that the Korean star deliberately left his territory to avoid implicating them.

After a moment, the Great Beast Lord looked at his woman, sighed, and said, "Let's go back and cultivate properly."

"Once we improve our strength, we will be able to help him."

Long Yu bit her lower lip lightly, a look of unwillingness appearing in her eyes.

It's the feeling of seeing a friend being persecuted and being powerless to help.

In the end, she sighed and turned back to her training area.

On the other end, Linghui gripped his cyan longsword tightly, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

Those including the Celestial God Lord, the Formless God Lord, and Roland, Ji Yuntian, Qinghe, and others who had fought against Han Xing, stood silently for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.

Perhaps they were worried because they saw such a prodigy as a Korean star being assassinated.

Perhaps they felt they lacked the strength to protect themselves in the face of a real crisis.

In the end, they all returned to their own territories.

...

...

When the Korean star regained his vision, he found himself in a vast starry sky.

Beneath my feet lies a flowing galaxy, above me a dazzling star map, and all around me float countless celestial illusions.

"here it is?"

Han Xing raised his head and looked at the blurry figure in front of him.

I don't know if it's because the opponent's strength is too great, or because it's being interfered with by some powerful source.

Even though Han Xing and the figure were less than three meters apart, he still couldn't make out the other person's figure clearly.

The blurry figure slowly spoke: "This is a region of the competition continent, and also a divine kingdom that I once left behind."

After hearing this, Han Xing nodded in understanding, "I see..."

"Then may I ask, what is the purpose of bringing me here, senior?"

The other person was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Before answering this question, you should have other questions for me."

"For example... why didn't we act immediately, but instead waited until you were about to be killed before we made our move?"

Han Xing paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "At first I didn't quite understand, but I figured it out later."

"Senior, you want to use my status as the number one genius in the Southern Region to lure out some potential enemies, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop, right?"

"Yes."

The blurry figure nodded and continued, "But that's not what I wanted to say."

"I want to ask you, do you have any resentment about being used as bait?"

"Or perhaps, they harbor resentment towards us, the powerful figures of the Southern Region?"

Upon hearing this question, Han Xing smiled again, "What's there to resent?"

"Fishing, I do that all the time."

"And the reason for this is simply because I am not strong enough."

"If I were a little stronger, I wouldn't need you to lift a finger; I could take down those three guys myself."

"At that time, we might even be able to catch an even bigger fish!"

In fact, that's exactly what Korean stars think.

At first, he did feel some resentment towards the inaction of these powerful figures in the Southern Region, and even considered running away to other regions.

But after seeing Eternity make a move, he understood.

It turns out that everything was under the control of these beings, and he himself would not actually encounter any danger.

As for the fact that he became bait...

There's not much to say about that; it's just a matter of insufficient strength.

Some people can't even be fish bait!

Therefore, the Korean star had no thoughts about this at all, only thinking about how to continue to become stronger.

Strive to become a fish hook, and then a fisherman, as soon as possible!
After he finished speaking, the blurry figure opposite him remained silent for a moment.

"No wonder he's a prodigy who managed to rise to the top among hundreds of billions of geniuses."

He praised, "With this spirit and this mindset, even without extraordinary talent, you will achieve great things in the future."

A moment later, his body suddenly became clear, as if a veil had been removed to reveal his true form.

He was a middle-aged man dressed in a robe adorned with stars, his brows seemingly containing the depth of the entire starry sky, and every gesture he made carried a suffocating aura of power.

"Let's get to know each other formally." The man's lips curled into a slight smile. "I am Wan Xing, one of the Eternals of the Southern Region."

Han Xing straightened his expression, looked seriously at the man in front of him, and then bowed slightly: "Greetings, Senior Wan Xing!"

Wan Xing looked at the young man in front of him with admiration in his eyes.

With a faint smile on his lips, he said, "Your name is Han Xing, and my name is Wan Xing. Our names both contain the character 'Xing' (star), which proves that we are destined to meet."

"Originally... there was another eternity here, called earthquake."

"But that old fellow was used to being carefree and never taught any decent disciples."

“I was worried that he would mislead the students, so I sent him away.”

After a pause, he solemnly asked, "Han Xing, now I ask you, are you willing to become my personal disciple, Wan Xing?"

If it were any other prodigy who heard an Eternal being speak personally, they would probably have agreed without hesitation by now.

However, after a moment of silence, Han Xing suddenly grinned and asked, "Senior Wan Xing, I would like to ask, what are the benefits of becoming your personal disciple?"

Wanxing Yongheng was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, the sound of which shook the surrounding stars.

"Good! As expected of the number one prodigy in the Southern Region this time, he certainly has a unique personality."

He said admiringly, "As long as you become my disciple, Wanxing, you can contact me at any time during your cultivation and receive my personal guidance."

"In addition, you will also receive three supreme treasures bestowed upon you this time!"

With a wave of his sleeve, Wan Xing conjured three dazzling starlight beams in the void.
