This villain is too popular.

Chapter 22 The Beginning of the Stars

"Good morning, Heavenly Dao."

Jing Liuli waved sleepily at the silver-haired boy who was the last to enter.

He sat in his seat like a sloth, hugging his pillow, looking as if he had just been forcibly dragged out of bed.

Even someone as fond of slacking off as Jing Liuli was forced to arrive early.

This shows just how important today is to everyone.

Besides Jing Liuli, there are ten other Star Children in the meeting room.

Including the newly arrived Heavenly Dao, there are now eleven Star Children in this conference room.

Seeing that he was being watched by so many people at once, Tiandao immediately smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, everyone. It's just a Star Source Selection Meeting. Relax, relax."

As he spoke, Tiandao casually took the first seat according to his student rankings, his movements so natural that it seemed as if he was born to sit there.

Even Chen Xing, who had always regarded the Heavenly Dao as a rival, didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

After all, this is based on the strength and potential demonstrated by the Heavenly Dao.

If he's in second place, then no one can be in first.

However, as the pinnacle of the stars, Tiandao possesses terrifying strength far exceeding that of his peers.

And he also has a mouth that makes you want to tear it apart.

"Hey? Chenxing, your injury hasn't healed yet? It seems our organization's medical level isn't up to par, otherwise how come we haven't even mastered scarless techniques?"

Looking at the scars left on Chen Xing's arm, Tian Dao spoke up with some curiosity.

In response, Chen Xing calmly replied, "It has nothing to do with the organization; I deliberately asked them to leave this scar."

"Because it serves as a constant reminder that I must work even harder to avoid such a desperate situation from happening again."

"Huh? Despair? But I felt that the final assessment was pretty easy. Wasn't it just a matter of going up and fighting casually and then it was over?"

"."

Chen Xing rolled his eyes at Tian Dao, clearly too lazy to respond to his obviously silly remarks.

Just as Tiandao was about to tease this proud and aloof woman who always had a stern face again...

The conference room door suddenly opened.

The doctor led Yunmeng into the conference room.

Upon seeing these two appear, everyone present stood up to show their respect, except for the Heavenly Dao.

He sat lazily in his seat, motionless, much like a troublemaker in the class who was not to be disciplined.

Yunmeng and the Doctor didn't seem to mind his rude behavior.

The doctor approached the giant projection in front of everyone and gestured for them to sit down.

As Yunmeng passed by Tiandao, she lightly tapped him on the back of the head.

"At least put on an act, you have no manners at all."

Tiandao chuckled and rubbed his head: "Sister Yun, my injury hasn't healed yet, so I can't move around too much."

"Whatever, I can't be bothered with you."

Yunmeng shook her head helplessly. After all, although Tiandao was the son of the stars, his position within the embers was quite special.

Even she was almost infinitely indulgent towards the will of Heaven.

So much so that many things would be unforgivable if done to others.

When applied to the Heavenly Dao, it becomes utterly insignificant.

Take, for example, the 'arrogance' of the Heavenly Way right now.

If it were anyone else, Yunmeng would definitely teach them a lesson about rules.

But if it were the will of Heaven, it could only give him a warning; it couldn't truly punish him, could it?
"Good morning, every body."

The doctor approached the giant projection and lightly touched it.

The next second, a holographic phantom resembling a nebula appeared before everyone.

Among these nebulae, there are some rather special stars that emit an eerie light.

Looking at those special stars, the children of the stars present seemed to understand something.

Their expressions became excited, and even their breathing became a little rapid.

Seeing everyone's reaction, the doctor smiled and said, "It seems that everyone understands what these stars mean. That's right, they are the legendary Star Sources."

"95 years ago, a special meteor shower changed the whole world, and the truth behind that meteor shower is the source of these stars with magical power."

"For a long time afterward, people were both curious about this magical power and filled with fear."

"After so many years of research, we have almost figured out some of the principles of star source."

As he spoke, the doctor moved his hand across the holographic projection.

The next second, the once magnificent star cluster suddenly changed, and a spectacular explosion occurred at its very center. Then, countless glowing meteors streaked across the sky, flying outwards into the universe.

As he watched the shooting stars streak across the sky, a glint of light flashed in the doctor's eyes beneath his silver mask.

"The Origin of Stars: the most fundamental and core cosmic force of a planet."

"Although we don't know exactly what caused the meteor shower in 95, we do know that its appearance ushered in a completely new era."

"but."

The doctor caught a shooting star that flew out of the holographic projection and displayed it to everyone.

"Just as Xingyuan ushered in a new era, I believe that your emergence will also usher in a brand new era."

"An era called the Stars."

The doctor's words seemed to carry some kind of mysterious power, filled with a mysterious allure.

Even a calm and collected android like Caroline showed obvious emotional fluctuations at this moment.

"Alright everyone, except for Tiandao and Chenkong who is still in the recuperation pod, the rest of you shall follow Yunmeng to collect your Star Sources."

Upon hearing the doctor's words, everyone first glanced at Tiandao with curiosity, then stood up and followed Yunmeng deeper into the base.

After everyone had left, the doctor immediately looked at Tiandao, who was sitting in the head seat, and asked, "Tiandao, are you sure you want to choose that star source?"

"You should know that with your performance, as long as you ask, I can get you even the rarest star source."

"Furthermore, based on our long-term observation of your own characteristics, a certain fantasy-type star source within the base is very suitable for you. Are you sure you want to give up that star source and choose this ordinary vector control?"

The doctor took out two mysterious metal cubes from his pocket and opened his hands.

The next second, the two metal cubes flew to the front of the Heavenly Dao.

These two metal cubes contain the Star Source, which countless people covet.

One of them is a 'vector control' specifically required by the Heavenly Dao.

There's also the 'Dreamer', a fantasy-type star source that the doctor said was perfect for him.

[Star Source: Vector Control]

【Effect 1: Kinetic Energy Interference: Can change the direction of motion of any object it comes into contact with, thereby superimposing or canceling kinetic energy, such as slowing down a falling object or accelerating a slashing blade.】

[Effect 2: Energy Flow Interference: Can deflect or disperse energy attacks (such as flamethrowers, lightning, and shockwaves), but cannot create energy from nothing; it can only manipulate existing vectors.]

[Star Source: Dreamer]

【Effect 1 - Synchronization: Can briefly copy and use a Star Source that has been touched (the effect is only 50% stronger than the original, and only one Star Source can be used per synchronization, with a maximum of three copied Star Sources. It cannot copy Star Sources with a higher Star Energy level than itself, unless the other party voluntarily releases the restriction and actively accepts the synchronization)】

【Effect 2 - Imagination: Briefly merges copied star sources to form a special star source with multiple effects. The effect depends on your own star energy level and the type of star source being merged (can only be used once per calendar month)】

The Dreamer, a very special kind of fantasy-type star source.

Its functions are extensive and its practicality is strong.

Combined with Tiandao's outstanding combat talent and powerful innate star energy level.

It is entirely possible to continuously adjust one's tactical system based on different opponents.

This leads to a near-omnipotent level of capability.

But all of this is only theoretical.

In reality, without the special stellar core of 'Black Star' to compensate for the 'Dreamer's' fatal weakness...

So this Star Source is actually just so-so.

It's designed for stomping noobs; it can't handle any high-level games.

It can be said that the Star Source of the Dreamer was tailor-made for the protagonist Chen Kong from the very beginning.

It is completely incompatible with the Way of Heaven.

However, Heaven would naturally not reveal these things.

He placed his hand in the Star Source Cube containing 'Vector Control' and said with absolute confidence, "Whether it's suitable or not is not up to others to decide."

"The dreamer, who can only ever hide in the shadows of others, is not in line with my personality as the God of Destiny."

"If I, the Heavenly Dao Fate Master, am going to do something, I will do it to be the strongest."

"So, Doctor, I think this vector control is perfect for me."

Having said that, Tiandao didn't give the doctor a chance to persuade him and directly opened the Star Source Cube containing 'Vector Control'.

In an instant, a special sphere, only the size of a ping-pong ball and radiating dazzling starlight, appeared before the Heavenly Dao.

Without any hesitation, Tiandao placed his hand directly on the ball of light, absorbing the mysterious power contained within.

As for dreamers?
Let's leave this thing for the protagonist, Chen Kong.

After all, he prefers to stay in the shadows outside the spotlight, doesn't he?
