Another World: When a Necromancer Possesses the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls

He opened the backpack; it contained many items, but most were damaged or unusable. Li Xingyao carefully removed each item: several vials of solidified healing potions, a box of energy bars, a multi-tool pliers, and...

"This is..." Li Xingyao picked up a slightly worn-out spare terminal, tried to charge it, and the terminal actually lit up an indicator light. He then casually put it aside.

He then noticed a completely black box, which appeared to be made of stone. Its surface was as smooth as a mirror, with no visible gaps or opening mechanisms. No matter how Li Xingyao tried, he was unable to open it.

Li Xingyao sat down against the rock wall and examined the box closely. No matter what method he used—pressing, rotating, or even injecting star energy—the box remained unresponsive.

"Looks like I'll have to resort to some extreme measures," he muttered to himself, carrying the box back to the spacious cavern he had just entered.

"Flame, I need your help," Li Xingyao called out the Bone Dragon's real name.

Ripples spread through the air, and the massive body of the bone dragon gradually came into view. Although it had shrunk in size, the cave still felt cramped.

"Master, what are your orders?" The Bone Dragon's voice rang directly in Li Xingyao's mind, carrying a hint of laziness.

Li Xingyao held up the black box: "Open it, but be careful not to damage what's inside." He added in a deep voice, "Help me open it, be gentle, don't damage what's inside."

The bone dragon stared at the box for a moment in its eye sockets, which were burning with ghostly blue soul flames, and a ring of star energy fluctuations appeared around its body. The box slowly floated up, first covered by a layer of ice, and then white flames ignited inside.

With a soft "click," a tiny crack appeared on the surface of the box.

The flames disappeared, and the box slowly fell back into Li Xingyao's hand. He gently pried it open, and the box popped open.

Inside the box lay a star core, about the size of an egg, slightly transparent, with points of light flickering inside, as if a condensed version of the starry sky were contained within it.

Li Xingyao could sense the terrifying energy fluctuations contained within, far more powerful than any star core he had ever seen. This power was far greater than any star core he had encountered before.

He carefully picked up the star core; it was warm to the touch. Then he noticed a hidden compartment at the bottom of the box. Li Xingyao gently pried it open, revealing a piece of paper made of a special material.

He unfolded the paper, revealing characters written in the common language of the Celestial Dragon Clan. Li Xingyao had learned this language before his awakening, so reading it was effortless. But as he read on, his eyes widened, and his breathing became rapid.

"This...this is..." He looked up abruptly, his eyes flashing with disbelief.

Almost without hesitation, Li Lamer put the star core back into the box and said to the bone dragon, "Protect me, I'm going to fuse with this star core." Almost without the slightest hesitation, Li Xingyao put the star core back into the box, turned to the bone dragon and said, "Keep watch for me, I'm going to fuse with this star core now."

The soul fire in the bone dragon's eyes flickered: "Yes, Master..."

Li Xingyao sat cross-legged, gently placing the star core in his palm and slowly infusing it with stellar energy. The star core gradually heated up, emitting a soft glow. Li Xingyao adjusted the frequency of his own stellar energy to resonate with the star core.

The moment the frequencies were perfectly aligned, Li Xingyao pressed the already heated star core against his abdomen without hesitation.

A sharp pain shot through him instantly, as if a red-hot iron had been branded directly onto his skin. The moment the star core touched Li Xingyao's body, it merged into him, forming a glowing mark on his abdomen.

Li Xing gritted his teeth, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. Li Xingyao gritted his teeth, fine beads of sweat silently seeping from his forehead. He could feel the star core moving towards the stellar spiral, a strange attraction forming between the two.

When the star core finally reached the outer edge of the stellar vortex, Li Xingyao felt a jolt throughout his body. The stellar vortex accelerated its rotation, forming a symbiotic relationship with the star core. He could feel that his stellar energy, flowing through the star core and then outwards, underwent a subtle change in its properties.

He attempted to channel a wisp of stellar energy, condensing it into an arrow of death at his fingertips. This arrow was more solid than usual, its surface gleaming with a faint silver light, and its power was clearly several levels greater.

"At least a 50% increase..." Li Xingyao assessed, deeply shocked.

Just then, a message naturally surfaced in my mind: "Telekinesis"—using mental power combined with stellar energy to control all things.

Li Xingyao trembled slightly with excitement. Only a transcendent star core could bear skills at the level of rules, which meant that the star core he had fused with did indeed originate from a star beast of at least legendary level, and that this star beast had an extremely profound understanding of the laws of the mind.

The value of a transcendental star core cannot be measured in monetary terms; each one is a priceless treasure, as rare as the pink diamonds and antiques that fetched astronomical prices at auctions in his previous life. Li Xingyao calmed himself, picked up the paper again, and began to read it carefully.

The paper recorded the origin of this star core—it came from a high-ranking star beast called the "Void Dreamweaver," which perished in a rare spatial storm. This creature originated from a void rift deep within the Dark Realm, a byproduct of the intertwining of the universe and dark matter, born under extremely harsh conditions.

It entered Zhongzhou during a rare spatial storm. The Star Core is suspected to possess the ability of "telekinesis" or "psychic power," a high-level mental ability with immense potential for development.

"Buzzing..."

The vibration from the backup terminal pulled Li Xingyao back to reality. The backup terminal had finished charging, and the screen lit up, displaying the operating interface.

Li Xingyao connected using his own terminal, first creating an encrypted folder, and then began browsing its contents.

This is the personal diary of a Super-Rank Windwalker. The recorder is named Ling Fengxing, from a powerful family on Earth. The diary details how he grew from a mid-level professional to a super-powerful individual, during which he joined the renowned team "Sky Explorers" and embarked on adventures throughout the Central Continent.

His diary meticulously records his journey from a mid-level professional to a super strongman, during which he joined the renowned team "Sky Explorers" and embarked on an adventure across Central Continent.

Ling Fengxing possessed extraordinary talent, especially in wind-based skills. Within ten years, he rose from advanced to super, becoming one of the family's managers in the other world. More than twenty years ago, he learned that the Emerald City of the Elven race would be auctioning a transcendent star core. After learning about the star core, he immediately contacted his family and obtained financial support.

The log documented the entire auction process—the competition was fierce, and the price soared. Ultimately, Ling Fengxing won the star core for a staggering price of nearly 10 billion star yuan. He originally planned to immediately return to Blue Star and give the star core to his most talented niece, Ling Xue.

He immediately set off back to Blue Star, intending to deliver the star core to Ling Xue, the most talented niece in his family.

The journey began smoothly; however, on his return trip after arriving on Earth, he discovered he was being followed. Despite changing routes multiple times, his pursuer remained relentless.

Confident in his own strength as a super-strong individual, Ling Fengxing decided not to get out of the vehicle. Instead, he disembarked in the wilderness area, intending to cross the mountains and return directly to his family's base.

Unexpectedly, they encountered a massive, diverse group of primate quasars in the mountains. Although they eventually managed to break through, Ling Fengxing was severely injured and on the verge of death when he reached this cave.

The log ends here, with no further entries.

Li Xingyao remained silent for a long time. The plight of this powerful figure was lamentable, but what worried him even more was that at least two forces knew of the existence of this star core: Ling Fengxing's family, and those who were tracking him.

One can produce a huge amount of star coins, and the other can disregard the strength of the Ling family. Neither of them is someone he can handle in his current state.

"We must leave here as soon as possible." Li Xingyao stood up and began to quickly pack his belongings.

He put Ling Fengxing's broken bow and other usable items into his backpack. Finally, he carefully put away the paper containing the star core information and destroyed the backup terminal.

After retrieving the bone dragon, Li Xingyao looked around to make sure no traces were left behind, and then quickly headed towards the cave entrance.

He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly felt a pang of fear, as if he were being watched. Almost instinctively, Li Xingyao instantly dodged to the side.

With a "whoosh," three crossbow bolts gleaming with a green light were stuck in the spot where he had been standing. With a "whoosh," three arrows gleaming with an eerie green light were stuck in the spot where he had been standing.

"Not bad, huh?" A cold voice came from the shadows.
