C37 God of Stars

Hanyu Xiaotian reemerged within the confines of the Scripture Pavilion space, his gaze serene and undisturbed. The Chaotic Universe Stellar Scripture seemed as though it had been crafted specifically for him, as if the Hanyu Family's ancestors had spent their lifetimes preparing for his arrival.

Yet, Hanyu Xiaotian was acutely aware that mastering the Great Circulating Star Array in a short span was an impossibility, and even a lifetime might not suffice to perfect the Chaotic Universe Stellar Scripture.

Firstly, the scripture's encapsulation of the Heavenly Dao's principles far surpassed Hanyu Xiaotian's comprehension, despite the mysterious cosmos and stars within his mind.

The grand technique, a legacy of generations of Godmasters, was not something one could easily grasp. For others, even with a lifetime of practice, the scripture might yield no more than a glimpse of its profoundness.

The cultivation threshold for the Chaotic Universe Stellar Scripture was exceedingly high. Even for someone with Hanyu Xiaotian's qualifications, deciphering the vast stellar Great Dao was akin to scaling the heavens.

Secondly, constructing the Great Circulating Star Array required at least 365 primary stars and tens of thousands of secondary stars, all powered by the force of billions of stars.

Although Hanyu Xiaotian had ignited nearly a million stars by assimilating the essence of the sun and moon absorbed over a millennium, this paled in comparison to the Chaotic Universe Stellar Scripture's demand for billions of stars. Not to mention the daunting task of igniting the pivotal "Master Stars."

The sheer energy needed to kindle billions of stars was enough to drive one to despair.

Lastly, Hanyu Xiaotian pondered a sobering fact: despite being the brainchild of the family's Supreme Expert Godmaster, the Chaotic Universe Stellar Scripture had eluded mastery for nearly a thousand years. Even the Godmaster who had birthed this Sovereign Supernatural Power had faced divine retribution for attempting its practice!

In essence, the efficacy of this Sovereign Supernatural Power Arts remained unproven, its feasibility unknown to all.

Nonetheless, Hanyu Xiaotian had no alternative. The Chaotic Universe Stellar Scripture was the key to his quest for the Dao, and he was prepared to risk everything for it.

In his mind's eye, a million stars shone brilliantly, their trajectories now enigmatic and arcane, hinting at the nascent form of the Great Circulating Star Array.

Above this celestial expanse, a diminutive figure sat cross-legged, hands weaving through intricate seals, eyes gleaming like stars, flickering open and shut as if caught in the throes of deduction...

This ethereal figure, bathed in starlight, gradually coalesced into solidity. Upon closer inspection, the visage bore an uncanny resemblance to Hanyu Xiaotian, who, in the absence of his own "essence" and "energy," had at last embarked on the first step of his Dao-seeking dream: he had become the "God"!

"Taoism begins with the essence, transforming it into energy, and refining Qi into spirit, known as the primordial spirit. Yet, I have taken the stars as my foundation, and thus, I shall be known as the God of Stars!"

Now, the entity residing in his mind was no longer the frail consciousness of before, but the God of Stars, endowed with formidable power and pulsating in unison with the cosmic tapestry of his mental universe.

Though still somewhat ethereal and feeble, he was confident that as the cosmos burgeoned with stars and the Great Circulating Star Array whirled into motion, it would one day astonish the world.

Under normal circumstances, anyone would be overwhelmed with excitement upon the fulfillment of a long-held dream. Yet, Hanyu Xiaotian was the epitome of tranquility, his gaze deep and undisturbed, seemingly detached from the recent events. This might well be the pinnacle of emotion psychologists refer to—when joy, sorrow, fear, and the like intensify to their utmost, they manifest as serenity.

With a gentle stride, Hanyu Xiaotian stepped beyond the "limiting membrane" that even the Star of Martial Arts within the Scripture Pavilion dared not near, a boundary formed during the slumber of the Chaotic Universe Stellar Scripture.
