Si Lingle was the last one. Before stepping into the Light Gate, she took one final look at this deathly silent tomb. The icy, viscous gaze of the Eye of Judgnt had not completely faded, yet it was obscured by an invisible curtain, becoming indistinct.
The newly born End of Dao Rhy within her body, nurtured and strengthened in dire circumstances, subtly flowed, as if declaring its response.
She took a step into the Light Gate.
Light and shadow shifted, and the decay, resentnt, and endless killing intent of the Star Graveyard were completely left behind.
Ahead lay a new unknown journey, but at least for this mont, they gained a rare chance to breathe and critical gains—a secure exit, a divine artifact to repair their source, invaluable training to counteract distorted laws, and a core leader possessing purer, more powerful strength.
Behind her, the Star Do Giant Gate slowly faded into a halo, and the gaze of the Eye of Judgnt finally disappeared into the space fold.
Only the gigantic tomb, built from shattered stars, remained, continuing to sleep amidst eternal silence alongside endlessly dead stars. Si Lingle and the others’ footsteps had quietly marked their way into the deeper, vast, and strange sea of stars.
As the light dissipated, the familiar yet more substantial and orderly aura of laws greeted her.
Si Lingle’s feet landed upon the solid foundation of the realm, and the spatial vortex behind her slowly closed, completely isolating the decay of the Star Graveyard and the viscous, cold gaze of the Eye of Judgnt.
Beneath her was the extrely remote, yet relatively stable in law, transfer station of the Divine Realm— the "Ruins".
Xuanfeng, Yun Che, and the five others were each taken away by their families or sect’s star rafts. Though there was so worry at parting, there was more reverence for their rebirth through disaster and steadfastness from their personal gains.
Si Lingle gracefully declined all invitations to travel together. She perceived the End of Dao Rhy within her, though exhausted, was purer and faintly resonated with the law of this disordered era, knowing she needed introspection, not clamor.
"Illusion Realm..." Si Lingle gazed towards the depths indicated by the Star Map Compass.
It was the gray area at the chaotic edge of the Divine Realm, teeming with dragons and fish, divine abominations, exiles, fugitives, secret organizations, and even disciples from major clans seeking rare resources all gathered here.
There was no order, only bounty, trading, and power. For her, it was the perfect place to earn cultivation resources and temper herself.
Illusion Realm was not a specific realm, but a vast region shrouded between layers of spatial folds and chaotic storm gaps.
The core node, "City of Eternal Fog", hung like a giant beast composed of countless shattered Divine Realm fragnts, floating above colorful turbulent energy currents.
At the city gate, there were no guards, only a monuntal stele thousands of miles high, made up of law crystal stones, the blood-stained light screen flowed like water, densely updating various bounty and purchase requests—the [Illusion Blood List].
Under Si Lingle’s gray cloak, her silver eyes calmly scanned the list.
*"Hunt the ’Star-Eating Centipede’, obtain its Crystal Core (complete), bounty: 80,000 top-grade Divine Crystals."
*"Venture into the third layer of ’Bone Abyss’, acquire three drops of tree sap from the ’Ancient Soul Wood’, bounty: 150,000 top-grade Divine Crystals and an Ancient Defense Array Map."
*"Track and confirm the ’Shadow Crow’ organization’s base at ’Dark Fla Vortex’, need precise intelligence, bounty: 120,000 top-grade Divine Crystals and one chance for Third Grade Divine Artisan assistance."
*"Guard: Escort ten pieces of ’Star Soul Xuan Iron’ ore from ’Shattered Star Ring’ to ’Panshi Realm’, activity of ’Star-devouring Thief’ suspected en route, requiring combat capability at Mid-stage True God Realm, paynt: based on escort results, at least 50,000 top-grade Divine Crystals."
The cold numbers and perilous descriptions intertwined, and the air was thick with the scent of blood, sulfur, and countless probing, greedy, vigilant divine thoughts.
Si Lingle’s aura was entirely restrained, the End of Dao Rhy was like the deepest Cold Pond, without a ripple, making her inconspicuous in the crowd. Yet, as those invisible probing divine thoughts reached the edge of her cloak, a sudden chill evoked a sense of fear, causing them to glide away involuntarily.
Si Lingle’s goals were clear: high efficiency, low loss, quickly accumulate enough "Panshi".
She specifically picked tasks with high bounties, but her power countered the targets’ traits.
A "Soul-devouring Mica Beast" residing in the depths of "Dusk Mist Cloud Gorge", growing by devouring divine power and divine souls, its prideful assimilation and devouring trait was, under Si Lingle’s Ruins Devouring Vortex, like ice eting the blazing sun, and its core energy was instead stripped away.
The speed of task completion was astonishing, and when she handed over the rare Cloud Beast core, forcibly separated but without damage to the root, the eyes of the bounty issuer were filled with surprise and a hint of trepidation.
A perilous place known as "Netherworld Cold Pond", at the bottom grew "Nine Nether Soul Reviving Grass", yet the pond water posed danger by freezing divine thoughts and corroding divine bodies.
