The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

As Ji Chen walked toward Shanyang Tower, he recalled the dean's answer from yesterday.

"The rise of the Federation can be described as magnificent and turbulent. For ten thousand years, every citizen of the Federation has been caught in the torrent. Many people have stood at the forefront of the tide and looked down on the universe by virtue of their talent, hard work, or luck!"

"This wave can be described as having boundless glory and prestige, but—"

"The Federation has developed to its current state, and there are countless talents. Many of them have been influential since the pioneering era, and there are quite a few veterans who are still alive today. So how many people can this glorious trend accommodate?"

"The Federation's welfare system is so generous that it is rare to see such a system. One reason for this is that the Federation's productivity has reached a certain level, providing sufficient resources to support it. However, the persistence of the Federation's founding fathers is equally important, if not more important, in maintaining this system."

"But as a trade-off, the Federation has been lacking in its efforts to cultivate superhuman talents among the general public. Top geniuses are naturally unaffected, but less talented superhumans obviously need other resources and channels."

"Unfortunately, in the academy, the benefits and privileges enjoyed by those mediocre super-powered students are the same resources available to ordinary geniuses. This is an unspoken rule that the academy's teachers and leaders adhere to, regardless of the academy. It's just that it's more blatant on Capricorn."

"As for the teacher's excessive authority, well, you have to understand that in the Federation, where there are many strong people and even stronger ones, patience is a skill that every Federation superhuman must learn. Patience means being open-minded, enduring, and being able to withstand the challenges of seniors. So, this is also a kind of education."

Yes.

On just one planet, there are four six-star superhumans, including a powerful figure like the Dean.

Moreover, according to Dean Cortes, the Federation will send another six-star superhuman to serve as vice dean and concurrently as Capricorn inspector within three days at most.

Facing these powerful individuals, wouldn't an ordinary super-powered student who is new to the world and whose age is less than the average age of these people be asking for trouble if he doesn't learn to be patient and humble?

To put it bluntly, in a world where the gap in individual strength is widening infinitely, even with rules in place, the strong still enjoy enormous privileges.

In other words, Ji Chen is a dimensional demon with limitless growth potential and a fast enough rate of realization of that potential. Otherwise, he would just be one of the masses who rely solely on seniority for advancement.

Ordinary people have to outlive experienced old men who are hundreds of years old, while superhumans have to overcome bottlenecks and eventually die while exploring the universe.

Ji Chen walked across the street, quietly enjoying the leisure of a strong person.

In Juehua City, most citizens walked in a hurry, were highly vigilant, and frequently practiced counter-tracking techniques at street corners, carefully observing their surroundings.

The cautious demeanor of these people contrasted sharply with Ji Chen's leisurely and carefree attitude.

Along the way, Ji Chen also saw that gangs that had long disappeared on other planets were revitalized in this city.

Gang members are patrolling certain key streets, including red-light districts that are clearly designed to provide a place for ordinary people to relieve stress.

These streets are bustling with people of all kinds, requiring gang members to maintain order.

Perhaps it was Ji Chen's flamboyant behavior that made him stand out from the timid pedestrians on the street. His unrestrained and arrogant demeanor was too eye-catching, causing many people to adopt a wait-and-see attitude even if they did not know the extent of his strength, and dare not provoke him.

But no matter what world you're in, there will always be people who don't know their place.

A group of domineering gangsters, fed up with Ji Chen's arrogance, walked straight over, intending to teach Li Chen a lesson and tell him not to be so arrogant.

Upon approaching, the leader looked at Ji Chen's face and his eyes lit up.

"Looking at this, it's top-notch stuff, kid..."

Ji Chen's eyes turned cold, but his steps did not falter in the slightest. Only a strange wind quietly swept across the street.

Then, to the horror of the crowd on the street, the shouting gangsters stopped talking and turned into fine sand, falling to the ground.

In the end, only a thin layer of sand remained on the spot, seemingly silently telling the story of how these lives had briefly existed.

As a nascent star god in the process of being conceived, Ji Chen's masterful application of various cosmic energies, namely the power of the void, has reached an instinctive level.

The wind just now wasn't even a move; it was just Ji Chen slightly using the power of the void at the microscopic level to eliminate these people at the cellular level.

If he weren't afraid of leaving too much of a trace and giving someone a handle to use against him, he could have easily blown these people to smithereens just by unleashing his full power.

Ji Chen ignored the fearful gazes of those around him and stared intently at Shanyang Tower, a kilometer away.

"Faced with someone like me who has already left a deep mark on the academy, proven my talent, and whose every move is bound to have a huge impact, what methods will you use? I'm really curious."

Ji Chen was eager to try.

If he were just an ordinary superhuman, it wouldn't matter; powerful people could easily fool him with some excuse.

But he was not; rather, he was the undisputed number one in the Superpower Academy, who won over all the students and was personally received by the academy's dean.

The death of such a genius would warrant a thorough investigation by the Federation, even on a planet like Capricorn.

"Is it an alien race, a cult of evil gods, or an anomaly in the universe?"

There are only a few reasons that can be used to appease the Federation afterward, and Ji Chen enjoys the sense of revelation.

. . . . . .

Shanyang Tower is located in a bustling area of ​​Juehua City's commercial district, surrounded by office buildings and commercial towers, where various holographic projections complement each other.

Flying cars and shuttles, which are rarely seen in Capricorn, become extremely common here.

This place is separated from the red-light district by only a wall, yet it feels like two different worlds.

Located on the 93rd floor of the Nebula Building, Shanyang Tower offers a panoramic view of the land below, where the fragmented landscape of Capricorn outside Juehua City is clearly visible.

The federal government's project to repair Capricorn, which has been "bitten in the back," has never stopped. As of now, the turbulent crustal movements caused by the missing piece have begun to slow down.

Only when the infrastructure is fully restored will the real nationwide infrastructure construction and wilderness exploration activities be fully launched.

The treasures left behind by the original inhabitants of this planet, the Crystal Horn Clan, are enough to drive most ordinary superhumans crazy, especially after the intense crustal movements, some of Capricorn's treasures, which have been dormant in history, may be revealed.

Looking back, there are countless examples of lucky individuals who seized this opportunity on the new planet to make a fortune and achieve financial freedom.

There are even examples of people who have discovered cosmic treasures that can help ordinary people defy fate and change their destiny, thus making rapid progress in their strength and becoming powerful figures in their own star system.

However, by then, the federal engineering team that came to repair Capricorn will have to leave, and there will be little extra resources to help Capricorn build new cities.

"Our Capricorn genius Ji Chen has arrived. Let's get the other side ready too."

"We've been using this Crystal Horn Clan to bait the spot for so long but haven't attracted any big fish. Since that's the case, let them make the most of their last bit of use."
