In that instant, time seemed to stand still at the entire Starry Sky Observatory.

The dust suspended in the air stopped in place, the flowing time seemed to freeze into a solid, and even Xiao Ning's breathing became incredibly slow.

Countless silver-blue star trail runes flew out from the star chart instrument, like dancing fireflies, slowly rotating around Chen Feng and the Absolute Envoy.

[Lucky Contract System: The fundamental rule field of the sub-civilization has been applied, correcting the current time flow rate to 1/172800 of normal time.]

[Lucky Contract System: The arrival of the Star Orbit Order's will has been detected. Threat level: Mid-level Desolate Rank (Regional rule exemption +70%, Physical immunity +90%, Energy immunity +85%)]

[Lucky Contract System: Warning! The host is currently within the "Absolute Order" of a sub-civilization, and the combat power of all non-sub-civilizations will be significantly suppressed.]

Three scarlet warning boxes exploded on Chen Feng's retina almost simultaneously, instantly making him serious.

At this moment, apart from Chen Feng and that envoy of the Absolute Queen, Xiao Ning's soft violet hair was almost frozen into still waves, and her usually bright almond eyes were slightly wide open, her long eyelashes almost frozen in the moment before they blinked.

She was holding Chen Feng's hand, and she was slowly pulling it back.

Opposite them, the envoy from the continental region, dressed in a robe adorned with stars, remained completely unaffected.

He had raised his staff, the pale blue gem at its tip radiating an increasingly dazzling light. Countless silver-blue bolts of lightning, like living venomous snakes, darted rapidly along the chains of light, emitting a soft, crackling sound.

"Outsiders, why have you trespassed into the Starry Sky Temple?"

The voice of the envoy from Jueya rang out again.

Chen Feng said in a deep voice, "I came here to inherit the Star Track Imprint and obtain the legacy of the Sub-Civilization."

"To acquire the inheritance?"

The phantom let out a low laugh, but there was no warmth in that laugh, only endless indifference.

"For billions of years, countless outsiders have tried to seize the legacy of the Jueya civilization, but they have all ultimately turned into dust on the road ahead, and you will be no exception."

The eyes of the envoy from Jueya finally shone through the heavy shadows of his hood.

Those are not eyes that humans should have.

What was contained in his pupils seemed to be a miniature universe that was slowly rotating.

With his extraordinary senses, Chen Feng could even see the birth and death of countless stars, the collision and fusion of galaxies, and billions of years of time compressed into a fleeting stream of light in his pupils.

It was a kind of mystery and nobility that transcended ordinary understanding.

It's as if the very first ray of light at the beginning of the universe personally condensed into these eyes.

"I had no choice but to fight to the death," Chen Feng said.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, the envoy from Jueya, who was staring at Chen Feng, raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had seen something in Chen Feng.

"Demon Slayer...and Dark Emperor Devourer, I didn't realize you were so interesting just now," the Absolute Envoy said calmly.

"What's even more interesting is that as long as you dare to let me into your trial, I can take down the Starry Sky Mark," Chen Feng said loudly, glancing at Xiao Ning beside him.

This time, the envoy's laughter finally contained a hint of genuine emotion.

That was the excitement of a hunter seeing a rare prey, yet it still carried the arrogance of looking down on ants.

"For billions of years, you are the first person to dare say such a thing to me. The last one to say this was the God of War from the Titan civilization, whose bones are still embedded in the base of the star charter, becoming a cornerstone supporting the orbit of the stars."

Having said that, the Star Staff in the hand of the Absolute Envoy slowly turned, and the gem at the top projected a silver-blue light screen.

On the light screen, the battle footage showing the Titan's final, gruesome death was being displayed.

Seeing that Chen Feng's expression remained completely calm.

The Absolute Envoy calmly said, "Since you insist on seeking death, then I will tell you the rules of the Absolute Star Orbit Trial. These are laws set by the origin of the universe. Once you step into them, there is no room for regret, and even I cannot change them in the slightest."

The envoy of Jueya lightly touched the light screen with his fingertip.

Countless silver-blue lines instantly intertwined to form a boundless, labyrinthine phantom.

"You will enter a star trail maze constructed from 3,600 paths. There is no map, no guidance. Your only reliance is your combat intuition that can lead you to the end."

The envoy's voice was flat and even.

It's like stating a physical law that has already been written down.

"Every step in the maze requires you to find the correct position, with an error margin of no more than one centimeter and a time limit of no more than one-thousandth of a second. If you take a wrong step or delay by even one second, the space beneath your feet will immediately fold in seventeen dimensions simultaneously, your body will be crushed into elementary particles smaller than quarks, and your soul will be instantly extracted."

The envoy from Jueya spoke.

Countless blurry figures flashed across the light screen in front of Chen Feng.

Some gave up completely after taking just the first step, while others persevered in the maze for hundreds of years.

Some were just one step away, but still couldn't overcome their own limitations, and were swallowed up by the maze around the corner, forever lost.

"Of the 7,362 intruders, 7,362 died here. Their particles still flow on the walls of the labyrinth, repeating the moment of failure day after day."

A cryptic smile appeared on the lips of the envoy from Jueya.

It looked as if it was mocking Chen Feng's recklessness.

"But you have good news: challengers have unlimited time and the cost of trial and error. The only thing that determines your success or failure is how resilient you are."

Chen Feng's pupils suddenly contracted, and he gasped.

He had initially thought that what the envoy from Jueya had said was just to scare him.

But the reality is now stark. All 7,362 intruders perished in this star-orbiting labyrinth.

Those who can traverse galaxies and venture into the ruins of sub-civilizations, aren't they all the chosen ones of their respective civilizations? Aren't they all powerful beings wielding world-destroying power?

Even the Titans, who could tear stars apart with their bare hands, could not escape this labyrinth and became a cornerstone of the star charter.

So how will Chen Feng himself make it to the end?

Chen Feng subconsciously turned his head to look at Xiao Ning, who was still frozen in time and space.

But the indomitable flame in his eyes began to burn.

"When can we begin?"

"The trial has begun."
