Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

"go out?"

Azathoth transformed into Qin Yu's appearance. "If you want to get out, it's probably impossible unless you can do me a favor."

"help?"

"That's right, help me find the light I've been searching for..."

"..."

Qin Yu didn't quite understand what Azathoth meant, but it was definitely going to be a very troublesome task. His body was almost completely swallowed by darkness, and he had to make a decision.

I promise you!

"Very good, now please remember one thing: everything you are about to encounter is both fake and real; it exists, and it doesn't."

Existence ultimately depends on the choices you make; only by remembering this can you survive…

Azathoth's words echoed in Qin Yu's ears as his body was completely swallowed by darkness, and the space returned to silence.

In the main world, everyone searching for the Great Savior discovered that Qin Yu had suddenly disappeared, which greatly worried them.

The entire ocean has been searched, but the Great Savior has not been found, and Qin Yu is nowhere to be seen. For a moment, everyone was at a loss. They could only try to find out who the Star Families were on the continent before thinking about what to do next.

-

huh... huh... huh...

While unconscious, Qin Yu could only hear a continuous whooshing sound, which must have been the sound of the wind.

He slowly opened his eyes and then realized that it had nothing to do with the wind; he was falling from a great height.

Where am I?

Qin Yu was a little confused. Wasn't he just talking to Azathoth in that space? How did he suddenly end up here?

Recalling Azathoth's words, everything he was about to encounter was both real and unreal; it existed and it did not exist. Ultimately, it depended on his choices. Only by remembering this could he survive...

"Really... or fake... does it exist... or doesn't it exist? Is this some kind of theory of relativity?"

Seeing that he was about to turn into a meteor and crash into the ground, even if it was fake, Qin Yu didn't dare to resist. He immediately took out the card and used it, and the armor covered his entire body. All that could be seen was the meteor streaking across the sky...

Boom!

Qin Yu crashed to the ground, the loud impact causing all the creatures around him to flee in terror.

Qin Yu, clad in battle armor, emerged from the massive crater. It was fortunate he was wearing the armor; otherwise, the impact would have likely resulted in serious injury, even with his enhanced body.

The place before him felt both familiar and strange to Qin Yu.

"Why does this place look a bit like the forest we visited when we first arrived in the Astral Plane?"

For some reason, Qin Yu suddenly had this feeling of déjà vu...

Chapter 416 The Star Realm of the Star Era

Just as Qin Yu was at a loss, a figure appeared on the treetops around him.

"The impact of that meteor is truly remarkable," a silver-haired boy murmured to himself.

"Hmm? Did someone get here before me?" The boy looked at Qin Yu, who had already taken off his armor. After all, wearing the armor might make him seem suspicious.

"They're outsiders..."

The boy tried to hide, but Qin Yu had noticed him from the very beginning, and Qin Yu's gaze was already fixed on him.

"...!" The boy wanted to run away, but Qin Yu had already arrived in front of him and blocked his way.

"Wait a minute, I have something to ask you." Qin Yu thought, "Why not ask this native who's come to me for help?"

"Before you ask me any questions, tell me who you are first," the boy retorted with a slightly firmer tone.

"Qin Yu, that's my name. I'm not here with any ill intentions."

Qin Yu opened his arms to show friendliness, but the boy was still skeptical.

"I want to know where I am? What kind of place is this?"

"This is the Great Forest of Giant Trees in the northern part of the Star Plane. You come here without knowing anything?"

The boy was now only curious about Qin Yu. Could this outsider have arrived on a shooting star?

"I don't know, I woke up and found myself falling." Qin Yu answered the boy truthfully, and the boy gave him an "I knew it" look.

"My name is Xingyu, nice to meet you!" The boy took the initiative to extend his hand to Qin Yu to show friendliness, and Qin Yu nodded and shook hands with him.

"I feel like your voice sounds familiar," Qin Yu wondered.

"Familiar? Does it sound like your friend's voice?"

"No, it sounds like the sound of a river..."

"river?"

"The River of Destiny".

"The River of Destiny?"

The boy named Xingyu's series of questions made Qin Yu give up on continuing, because the more he talked, the more he would have to explain.

"I have another question. What era are we in now?"

"This, of course, belongs to the Star Era of our Star Realm!"

"..."

Qin Yu was slightly stunned. Did the Annihilation Space send him to the past? No, he couldn't forget what Azathoth had said: this place might not be real, and it might not even exist.

"What's wrong?" Xingyu asked when he saw Qin Yu standing there in a daze.

"nothing."

"Then come with me! I'll take you to the main city, but you can't enter the main city in your current state. You need to change first."

As he spoke, Xingyu used magic to dye Qin Yu's hair the same silver color as his own.

"Is the change you're talking about just dyeing your hair?"

"That's different. Our hair is very special. It contains the power of the stars. It's not as simple as just dyeing it."

"All right……"

Qin Yu was speechless, because in his opinion, it was just like dyeing his hair, there was no difference.

"What brings you here?" Qin Yu asked Xingyu about his purpose in coming here.

"Of course I'm here to see shooting stars. I even wanted to collect some fragments of shooting stars. It's a pity, you're the only outsider here."

It's not so bad, at least I picked up an outsider.

While talking to the boy, Qin Yu was also assessing his strength.

Although he is not very old, his strength has already reached the seventh level. The strength measurement in other eras may not be very accurate, but it is about right.

Are you very interested in things from outside?

"Yeah, I've always wanted to see the outside world. I'm getting a little tired of staying in the Astral Plane..."

"The outside world may not be so friendly."

"It's alright, I can protect myself. Is the River of Destiny you just mentioned the river from your world? Can it talk?"

"..."

……

And so, while chatting, Qin Yu followed the boy named Xingyu to the main city of the Old Era Star Realm.

The current main city appears exceptionally glorious and sacred compared to the main cities of later generations, befitting the name "Star Era." This is the home of the Star Race, the strongest race in the Star Era.

The silvery-white city walls and the crowds coming and going seemed to make Qin Yu understand why Xingyu wanted him to change his hair color.

However, if the people of the Old Era Star Realm all had silver-white hair, then why does Luna have blue hair?

The truth remains unknown; Qin Yu can only hope that he can find the final answer here.

"Welcome to the Astral Plane, Qin Yu."

Under Xingyu's guidance, Qin Yu entered the main city of the Star Realm. To enter the main city, one had to go through the guards' identity verification process. He thought it would take some effort, but Xingyu solved the problem for him directly.

After entering the main city, Qin Yu asked Xingyu, "Your status and position in the Star Boundary must be quite impressive, right?"

Judging from how respectfully the guards treated Xingyu, this young man's identity must be extraordinary.

"Uh, it's nothing really. I'm a prince of the Starry Sky Royal Family, the youngest one."

Xingyu scratched his head and replied that he originally didn't want to tell Qin Yu, but since Qin Yu asked, he wouldn't hide it.

"Impressive! Just how many princes and princesses are there?"

Five.

"Then you're the fifth one."

In the old era, the Astral Plane was ruled by a combination of the Astral Royal Family and the Council. The Royal Family held absolute dominance, while the Council was responsible for the daily operation and management of the Astral Plane, serving as a subordinate institution.

"Where are we going? Could it be the palace?"

"No, no, no, I can't take you in now. Even I don't easily bring people of unknown identity into the palace. If you want to enter the palace, you must have the corresponding position."

"For example?" Qin Yu felt that Xingyu was keeping him in suspense.

"For example, serving as a guard for princes and princesses."

Sure enough, this guy had ulterior motives from the moment he met Qin Yu. Seeing that Qin Yu was quite strong, he wanted to keep him by his side.

"I'm not used to risking my life for others, especially princes. If it were a princess, I might consider it."

Qin Yu's underlying message was that he was rejecting Xing Yu's offer to be his bodyguard; he shouldn't even think about it.

"Don't say that. Go and give it a try. That way you can come into the palace with me. It doesn't really matter whose guard you are. There are two princesses in the royal family. If they want you, I have no objection. If they don't want you, then I'll have to reluctantly take you in..."

Xingyu's words felt like he was digging a hole for himself, but Qin Yu didn't care. He didn't know why he came here, so he would just take it one step at a time. Perhaps he could personally experience the rise and fall of the Star Realm and learn about Luna's parents.

"Okay, so where should I stay until then?"
