"Feel it with your heart?"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback, not understanding for a moment.
"Die!"
At this moment, the Sky Knight's black spear shot down again, aiming directly for the Star God's crown.
The Star God looked up, a smile appearing on its lips.
The next second,
Its body suddenly dissipated, transforming into strands of starlight...
"Hmm?"
The Sky Knight's expression froze. It muttered, "You think this will save your life?"
As its spear was about to strike,
Countless starlights spreading around suddenly soared upwards, merging into the deep firmament.
In an instant,
The originally pitch-black night sky was dotted with specks of starlight, instantly transforming into a dreamlike starry expanse...
Most importantly, this starry sky seemed to possess consciousness, watching every human!
"This is your true form?!"
The Sky Knight's eyes flickered, a look of shock in them, and it said,
"You are the Human Emperor's contracted spirit?!"
As the Star God revealed its true form, coupled with the Beast Ancestor bloodline within it, it finally guessed the Star God's true identity.
"But what good is that?"
A cold smile played on the Sky Knight's lips as it said,
"You have already lost!"
Instantly, it held its spear in its right hand, carrying unparalleled momentum, and charged towards the firmament, intending to personally shatter this starry sky!
And at this moment,
Chen Shu had fallen into a peculiar state.
"Where is this?"
He looked around the dark space, a hint of confusion and bewilderment in his eyes.
"This is the starry sky you once gazed upon!"
The Star God's voice echoed again, saying, "Search with your heart..."
"No, what am I supposed to search for?!"
"The humans who have passed on..."
"Hmm?!"
Chen Shu's expression jolted, a faint realization dawning in his eyes.
The next second,
He slowly closed his eyes, beginning to feel everything around him with his heart...
At this moment, Chen Shu's heart was like a small boat, drifting in the boundless darkness of space...
Soon, he noticed a difference.
In the distance, a faint starlight appeared, carrying a familiar aura...
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu didn't hesitate and approached the starlight, wanting to see clearly what was ahead...
As he drew closer, the starlight ahead gradually became more brilliant, emitting a dazzling glow!
And the moment he saw the figure clearly, Chen Shu's expression trembled violently, and his heart churned like a stormy sea...
"Principal?!"
Chen Shu stared intently at the starlight before him.
Within the light, stood a tall middle-aged man, gazing at him with a smile.
It was the Principal, Ning Bufan, who had fallen years ago!
"Child..."
Ning Bufan spoke slowly, his face gentle, "You've done very well. I indeed didn't misjudge you..."
"You're still alive?!"
Chen Shu blurted out, a hint of longing in his eyes.
Although their time together was not long, Chen Shu had already come to regard him as a senior.
"I am no more. This is merely the last trace of power left before my death."
Ning Bufan said with a smile, his eyes still devoid of regret, just as they always were...
Upon hearing this, a sense of loss flickered in Chen Shu's eyes...
"Time is limited, hurry and find the others..."
Ning Bufan spoke again, "They are all here, really..."
Chen Shu's expression froze, faintly understanding the Human Emperor's ultimate trump card...
He bowed to Ning Bufan and ventured deeper into the darkness...
At this moment, his soul seemed to merge further with this starry sky.
Soon, he found more lights.
"Old Qiao?!"
Chen Shu gazed at the three elders before him, a look of pleasant surprise in his eyes.
They were humanity's three legendary Beast Tamers...
"You brat..."
Old Qiao looked at Chen Shu and laughed heartily, "I saw you slay the Bat Emperor that day."
Chen Shu remained silent, instead looking at the three legendary Beast Tamers with a smile.
Soon,
He bid them farewell and ventured deeper into the dark space...
As Chen Shu gradually merged with the starry sky, he found more and more humans.
The fallen heroes of Longyuan, the guards who perished defending against fierce beasts, the Dragon Guards and Spirit Suppression Army from peacetime...
They were all venerable ancestors who had sacrificed themselves to resist the fierce beasts...
They stood there now, their faces resolute and determined, just as they were in their time.
Time had never changed them...
"Child, you've done well!"
"You are truly the third-generation Human Emperor!"
"You have my demeanor from back then, haha!"
The voices of the ancestors echoed one after another, generously praising Chen Shu.
At this moment, their bodies emanated the glow of stars, illuminating the entire dark space, like a magnificent and beautiful starry sky...
"They are here, they have always been here..."
Chen Shu's heart was filled with emotion, and he felt tears welling up in his eyes.
Although he had never met most of them, he couldn't help but feel profound respect...
Only now did he understand.
The words passed down through generations of humanity were true!
The ancestors had not perished; they had indeed transformed into brilliant starlight, watching over the generations of humans below...
Chen Shu still didn't stop, heading towards the deepest part of the starry sky.
In the blink of an eye,
He saw more ancestors shining like stars, and among them were even powerhouses from the ancient era!
Although he hadn't met these ancient figures, as the inheritor of several top-tier ruins, he could naturally recognize supreme beings like the Star King...
"You brat, you really conned those ruins out of them with your own abilities!"
"It seems our arrangements had flaws; this kid managed to snatch all the ruins."
"You need to replenish the energy for my ruins later, and don't bully the Star Spirits anymore!"
"..."
Chen Shu grinned and bowed to each of the ancestors as he moved deeper into the space.
At this moment, the ancestors emanated extremely brilliant light, illuminating Chen Shu's path forward...
He saw even more ancient powerhouses.
Although he didn't recognize any of them, he still paid his respects to each one...
He understood that anyone who could exist in this starry sky must be an ancestor worthy of his respect!
Time passed without him knowing how long.
Chen Shu had no idea how many ancestors he had seen, some from thousands of years ago, and even more from tens of thousands of years ago...
The Human Emperor's ultimate killing move had been in preparation for so, so long...
At this moment, Chen Shu reached the end of the space.
And ahead, only the last ray of starlight remained.
