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

Wanxing Yongheng chuckled, "This kid must have taken my words to heart."

"Push yourself to the limit before thinking about what comes next."

"However... his speed still exceeded my expectations..."

At this moment, Wuchang Yongheng chuckled and said, "Wanxing, how long do you think it will take for this little guy to comprehend your [Starry Sky True Understanding]?"

Upon hearing this question, Wan Xing pondered for a moment, "Among the eight disciples I have taken on, the fastest record is nearly a thousand years."

"The talent of Han Xing is currently comparable to his, and it will probably take nearly a thousand years to reach that level."

However, Impermanence chuckled and said, "How about we make a bet?"

"bet?"

"That's right!"

Impermanence and Eternity said firmly, "I bet he will comprehend your [Starry Sky True Understanding] within a hundred years."

"If I lose, I will give you the [Impermanence Secret Fan] that I recently crafted. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Xing's heart stirred.

Clearly, Wan Xing was somewhat tempted by the wager he mentioned!

"What if I lose?"

“If you lose…” Wuchang Yongheng’s expression suddenly turned cunning: “I want that jar of ‘Nine Revolutions Star River Brew’ that you’ve been keeping.”

Wan Xingyongheng's lips twitched: "You certainly know how to pick that jar of wine. I've been storing it for 120,000 years."

Impermanence and Eternity continued to laugh, "Indeed, I've had my eye on this jar of wine of yours for ten thousand years!"

"How about it? Do you dare to bet?"

"My [Impermanence Secret Fan] is tens of thousands of times more valuable than this jar of wine of yours."

Wanxing Yongheng pondered for a moment, then said firmly, "Okay, I agree to your bet."

Upon hearing this, Wuchang Yongheng's face once again revealed a smug smile: "Deal!"

...

...

at the same time.

At this moment, Han Xing had completely digested the fragments of memory in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations on successful upgrade!]

Your skill, Celestial Flowing Light Step, has been successfully upgraded to Divine Realm Lord level 1.

(Note: Due to reaching the limits of physical endurance, further upgrades are no longer possible.)
...

"call……"

Han Xing slowly exhaled and said in a deep voice, "It's finally a success."

"This breakthrough process was much more painful than before..."

"Now, let me take a look at the attributes of this new skill."

【Celestial Flowing Light Step】

[Rank: God Realm Lord Level 1]

[Combat Skill Description: Using light as a guide, the body transforms into a stream of light, disappearing in an instant...]

[Skill Effect: Deeply control the power of the source of light, and increase your speed to the extreme once again.]

1: Movement speed increased by 700%, evasion rate increased by 60%.
2: When attacked, movement speed will be increased by 300% for 10 seconds.

3: When faced with a desperate situation, you can enter the [Smooth and Unmarked] state.

Flowing Light Without a Trace: Increases your movement speed to the maximum (minimum increase of 1500%), unleashing a speed far exceeding your current physical limits, and can carry up to 20 allies forward at once.

After entering the [Smooth and Unmarked] state, your Agility attribute will permanently decrease by 1000 points per second, and for each person you carry, you will incur an additional 100 Agility points.

When attacked in the [Light Without Trace] state, a [Light Afterimage] will be left behind, inheriting 50% of your own attributes, attacking the enemy and delaying their actions.

It can leave behind a maximum of 3 [afterimages of light].

...

After watching the evolved [Celestial Flow Light Step], Han Xing nodded in satisfaction.

Compared to the Flowing Light Step at the high-level lord level, there seems to be no significant change after reaching the Divine Realm Lord level this time.

The main changes include increasing base movement speed from 400% to 700%, and increasing movement speed after being attacked to 300%.
These two combined result in a 10-fold speed increase.

In addition, the explosive power of this footwork, [Sky Shuttle], has been transformed into [Flowing Light Without a Trace].

The speed increase has also increased from 1000% to 1500%.

The three combined result in a speed increase of 25 times!

Compared to before, it has once again ushered in a qualitative change!
Most importantly, this [Light Without a Trace] has added a new ability called [Afterimage of Light].

After being attacked, it can create a clone that inherits 50% of the attributes of a Korean star to delay the enemy.

This is outrageous!
It's important to understand that Korean stars' attributes, enhanced by various skills, have reached a terrifying level.

Even at only 50%, it completely surpasses the level of a typical high-ranking lord.

More than enough to delay the enemy for a while!
Moreover, this ability can create up to three clones, which makes it even more abnormal.

In addition to delaying the enemy, it can also deal some damage.

Han Xing nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, the improvements to the Heavenly Flowing Light Step are all geared towards survivability, which is exactly what I wanted!"

"Anyway, my current output ability is enough, what I lack is the ability to survive."

"This skill upgrade is just right."

With that thought in mind, he suppressed his excitement and continued to open the skill list.

Among a long list of skills, I found my goal.

A determined glint flashed in Han Xing's eyes as he whispered, "Next, I need to strengthen my life-saving skill: Time Beast Body!"

"By then, once I upgrade this skill to the level of a God Realm Lord, I will have three major physical constitutions protecting me!"

The Primordial Holy Body, the Immortal Body, and the Time Beast Body!
At that time, even the Korean stars themselves will not know how powerful they will become!
With trembling fingers, he clicked the '+' sign next to the skill.

A system prompt appears.

[Ding! Consume 300 billion Time-based Essence to upgrade the Time Beast Body (High-level Lord) to Divine Lord level lv1?]

...

"Yes!"

As soon as he clicked "OK," the space-time around Han Xing suddenly changed.

He seemed to have suddenly traveled from the vast starry sky to a broad river of time.

"Wow... Wow..."

The river of time flows ceaselessly, its silvery waters shimmering with light.

Every drop of river water is like a prism, reflecting the myriad images of the world.

As he looked closely, he discovered countless fragments of memories floating in the river.

Upstream, the silhouettes of ancient behemoths battling in the chaos are faintly visible.

In the middle reaches, the rise and fall of various civilizations unfolds like a revolving lantern.

Downstream and into the distance, the hazy vision of the future constantly splits and recombines, giving rise to billions of possibilities.

"Wow--"

A sudden wave crashed over them, causing Han Xing to instinctively take a few steps back.

However, when he opened his eyes again, they quickly narrowed. Because Han Xing saw once more that figure standing in the river of time.

He still seemed so lonely and desolate.

However, compared to the last time I saw him, he was standing at the end of the river of time.

This time, he moved to the middle position.

At that moment, the figure spoke again slowly: "Han Xing...we meet again..."

"But this time, you arrived earlier than I expected."

His voice seemed to travel through endless time and space, carrying a sense of vicissitude.

Han Xing frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "Last time, you said that this was my second time entering the River of Time."

"So now... how many times have we met?"

The solitary figure remained silent for a moment, then slowly raised his right hand and extended five fingers.

"The fifth time?"

Han Xing murmured softly, then looked up and said, "In fact, in my memory, this is only the second time I've entered the River of Time."

"According to you, it's because the timeline is messed up?"

The other party nodded slightly: "Yes, if this is your second time entering the River of Time, then it means there is still some time before that great battle..."

Han Xing paused for a moment, then asked, "What exactly is that great battle you're talking about?"

"And what did you mean by telling me not to go through that door last time?"

Just as the solitary figure was about to speak, its outline suddenly rippled violently, as if it had been subjected to some invisible interference.

The river of time began to flow backward, constantly lapping against him, making his figure increasingly transparent.

That voice, which had traversed endless time and space, echoed once more: "We can't say too much."

His voice was broken and intermittent, like a poorly signaled communication, "That door is... a trap..."

"They deceived...all...eternity..."

The more the other person spoke, the more transparent their form became, as if they were about to disappear in the next second.

He took a deep breath, and the endless flow of time was instantly suppressed by him!

Then, with his last breath, he shouted, "Be careful... the price of the ninth revolution of the [Starry Sky True Understanding]..."

"And...find Impermanence and Eternity as soon as possible and demand that copper coin back..."

"remember……"

The words stopped abruptly.

The entire river of time suddenly boiled over, and a vast will seemed to descend across countless spaces, completely obliterating that figure!
At that moment, Han Xing's consciousness seemed to be struck by a powerful force, and he was sent back to his own consciousness space!

He once again entered the transformation state of the Time Beast Body.

However... at this moment, Han Xing frowned, carefully analyzing the information revealed by that figure.

"That door is a trap; they deceive all eternity..."

"This sentence contains many meanings, and the 'door' is probably the key..."

Han Xing carefully searched his memories but found no record of the 'door'.

"In other words, this is something I will experience in the future."

"In the future, we need to be extra careful when encountering certain special doors."

He made up his mind and then analyzed the other two pieces of information the other party had left him.

"Beware the price of the ninth revolution of the [Starry Sky True Explanation]..."

Han Xing quickly glanced at his skill panel and whispered, "The special ability of the ninth rank is to bestow the power of all those who have learned the [Starry Sky True Explanation] and comprehended the power of the seventh rank upon one person."

"Does this price mean that these forces are too powerful for me to bear?"

He hasn't reached that level of understanding yet, so he doesn't know what will happen after using the ninth transformation of the [Starry Sky True Understanding].

But since that person is separated by the river of time, and is willing to pay a price to remind me, it must not be simple.

Han Xing silently kept this in mind and planned to talk to Wan Xing Yongheng about it later.

That's right, he wasn't going to keep such an important matter to himself and ponder it slowly.

In terms of understanding the [True Explanation of the Starry Sky], Wanxing Yongheng is far more profound than I am.

At that time, this person will surely have their own unique insights.

"Besides that, there was the last thing he said."

"Find the impermanence of eternity, and demand that copper coin..."

Han Xing shook his head helplessly and said, "Damn it, I don't even know who Wuchang is, how am I supposed to ask him for that copper coin?"

"Besides... the other party is eternal, so it's uncertain whether they'll even acknowledge me."

He kept these three important things in mind, planning to discuss them with his master later.

Although the Korean star doesn't have much experience, he believes he's quite good at judging people.

Han Xing's first encounter with Wan Xing Yongheng made her feel that this person was someone she could trust.

That's why he thought of talking to him.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, Korean stars would not tell others such important things.

After that, no other strange phenomena occurred in front of Han Xing.

He also began to concentrate on absorbing the power of the source of time to strengthen his own [Time Beast Body].

As time passed, the power of time within Han Xing gradually stabilized.

Moreover, exquisite lines of time appeared on the surface of his skin.

Each line is like a miniature river of time, shimmering with a mysterious silver light.

This also makes the aura of Korean stars even more ethereal, as if they have merged into time, making them unpredictable.

Even the two Eternals in the center of the competition continent exchanged glances, their eyes filled with surprise.

After a moment, Wan Xing spoke first, asking, "Wu Chang... is this what you meant by the special thing about Han Xing?"

Across from him, the old man nodded slightly. "That's right. I sensed a fluctuation in time some time ago and thought that a prodigy who controls time would appear in this competition."

"So I've been paying special attention to it for a long time, but I haven't found it yet."

"During those days, even I, an old man, began to doubt whether I was getting old or if my perception was wrong."

He paused, then said in a serious tone, "However... later on, I sensed a peculiar fluctuation, and it took a lot of effort to pinpoint its source."

"If I weren't cautious by nature, I might have been fooled by him too."

Upon hearing this, Wan Xing's face immediately showed surprise: "Oh? You were almost fooled even?"

"Does a Korean star possess such skills?"

The old man chuckled softly: "This kid... is cautious, and he has many trump cards up his sleeve."

"Putting everything else aside, I can tell from this match that he hasn't used his full strength yet."

"At least, I haven't seen him use his time system at all."

"If he had used the power of time during the match, Roland would probably have had even less of a chance."

At this point, he added, "Of course, Roland also has some tricks up his sleeve, but not as many as Han Xing."

"So... now you know why I'm so determined to take this little guy as my apprentice from you?"
