At Azure Moon Sect ,
Unknown Peak.
Atop a nameless peak high above the clouds, a single pavilion rested in silence, surrounded by drifting wind and swirling cloud.
The view from there was breathtakingly serene, with crane and immortal bird gliding gracefully through the mist.
Inside, the pavilion's chamber was quiet... frozen in both air and time as delicate snowflakes drifted through the still air.
Frost had crept along the carved windows, and a thin mist lingered above the polished floor.
A single sandalwood bed stood near the open window, its sheets pale as moonlight and its pillows embroidered with silver threads.
Reclining upon that bed was a woman.
Her mere presence seemed to command both silence and reverence, while also carrying an otherworldly grace.
Her long hair, white as freshly fallen snow, cascaded down her back, tied into a high ponytail with a golden jade hairpin that shimmered faintly under the soft light.
She wore a layered robe of pale silk trimmed with dark gold, the fabric flowing around her like drifting snow.
Her skin was so fair it bordered on translucent, and her expression was calm yet distant as though the world beyond that frozen window no longer concerned her.
A faint breath escaped her lips, warm enough to mist the cold air before vanishing just as quickly, leaving only stillness behind.
Then, as if sensing something, she slowly opened her eyes and revealing a pair of serene, mesmerizing eyes tinted with purple-blue light.
She gazed into the distance, as if her sight could pierce through a thousand miles.
"…Oh ? A natural phenomenon? " Her soft, ethereal voice drifted through the quiet room, followed by a faint, curious smile.
Without changing her posture, her jade-like fingers began to move gracefully, as she use a divination art.
"...Star and Moon ? An auspicious sign for my sect? " she murmured, a trace of surprise flickering across her serene face.
" It seems things will soon grow lively in the sect. "
With that, she closed her eyes once more and resumed her meditation with a faint smile still lingering on her beautiful lips.
"How curious…" she whispered.

Meanwhile, at the nameless village,
"Age of the Stars"
With those words —
The heavens above split apart as the air twisted, and invisible force rippled across the area.
Then from the darkness of the night sky, a river of stars appeared....vast, endless, and divine.
BOOOOM!!!
A silver explosion of light erupted from Li Feng's body , bursting outward like a newborn star , engulfing his entire figure in silvery brilliance as if it resonated with those endless stars above.
The ground beneath him cracked and floated upward , fragments of rock and dust swirling around him like a miniature orbit.
Goldie, who stood behind Li Feng , staggered back several steps , shielding its face from the blinding light.
Then it saw the silhouette within that light… something began to change.
Within that blinding glow , Li Feng's shadow stretched as his body started to grow taller , his frame expanding as the sound of creaking bones echoed with a deep, resonant hum.
His muscles rippled and expanded, then tightened into lines of power ... carving themselves into his form like the forging of a divine weapon.
His dark hair grew longer , shifting into a radiant silvery white with each strand shimmering faintly like threads of starlight as it flowed freely behind him, untouched by gravity.
Crack…
Crack…
Crack…
Then came the sound....thin silver cracks start spreading across his body, forming beautiful luminous lines along his powerful muscles.
They didn't look like wounds, but rather marks of light....glowing veins of celestial energy that pulsed with restrained might.
Each line glowed softly , forming a web of sacred energy that looked both divine and forbidden , as if the Daos themselves disapproved of such power existing within a single mortal flesh.
A faint halo of starlight rose from his back, filled with countless tiny stars, faint and unstable, as though reality struggled to decide whether it should exist.
Then his eyes opened.
They blazed with silver light, cold and distant, yet unbearably beautiful.
Li Feng who still within the pillar of light lowered his gaze to his now broad hand and felt the overwhelming might coursing through his body.
He couldn't help but murmur inwardly with a strange expression,
'This is too overkill.....'
His mind returned to just a moment ago—
_

"...Use all of my remaining Favor Points," Li Feng said in a determined tone.
[Ding!]
[ -2000 Favor Points! ]
[ Successfully upgraded another 20 Stars! ]
A low hum began to rise from within him.
Almost immediately , Li Feng felt a sudden burst of energy as new stars began to appear inside his Starforge Body.
Inside that inner universe , something began to take shape.
Countless tiny points of blinding silver light appeared , hovering in the void beside the existing stars within his Starforge Body.
They spun, slowly at first, then faster - coalescing and growing.
Their glow deepened , radiating warmth and pressure all at once.
BOOM!
Then , like the birth of a miniature sun, one after another burst into full-fledged stars, flaring with silver-white brilliance.
And the light pulsed in perfect rhythm, a surge of cosmic energy resonating through every fiber of Li Feng's body.
Hummmm—
Soon the resonance spread outward , connecting all the stars together with thin , milky threads of light.
Then all of them burned even brighter , as if to welcome the twenty newly born stars.
Li Feng, feeling the surge of power, smiled—only for another notification to echo in his mind.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, Host! You have reached 50 Stars within the Starforge Body!]
[Host has unlocked the following innate divine abilities of the Starforge Body:]
[Age of the Stars]
[Star Apostle]
" Hm? "
Li Feng tilted his head slightly at the sudden gain of new abilities.
Judging by their names alone, they sounded pretty powerful so he quickly pulled up the details.
[Age of the Stars]: Preferably activated under a clear night sky. Once activated, Host will enter the "Ruler of the Stars" state for one minute and be able to borrow the strength of the stars above.
[If activated during dawn, the sky will split to reveal the starry void, though the rift's range will depend on the Host's current number of stars.]
[Note: As the distance and size of each star varies, the strength provided by them will differ.]
[Cooldown Duration: 1 month]
Li Feng's eyes almost popped out at the cooldown duration.
Then he looked upward and smiled wryly.
"...There are countless stars in the vast sky. Even if each one gives a small boost , when it becomes thousands… millions… damn."
He wiped the sweat from his forehead just imagining the sheer magnitude.
As someone from Earth , he knew well how endless the universe truly was.
That thought made him both nervous and excited about this new ability.
"No wonder the cooldown is so long…" he muttered, before shifting his attention to the second skill.
[Star Apostle]: Host gains the ability to bestow stars upon others, allowing them to become vessels of the bestowed star.
[The new vessel will receive the benefits of having a star , similar to the Host. If they were unable to cultivate before, the star within them will grant them the ability to start cultivation.]
[However, this comes at a cost as the vessel's life and freedom will be bound to the Host. The Host can issue commands through the star within their soul, and if necessary, cause the star to self-destruct, obliterating the vessel soul.]
[Note: Each bestowed star will reduce the total number of stars within the Host Starforge Body, so use with care.]
[Not every person can become a vessel, as most lack the compatibility to contain a star in their soul. So ordinary vessels can usually hold at most one, but rare individuals who attuned to celestial energy may exceed this limit.]
[And if a vessel dies, the star within them will return to the Host as normal.]
Li Feng's mouth parted slightly as he read through the description , and his thoughts immediately drifted toward his women.
With this ability , their cultivation speed could improve drastically... well that also depending on how many stars their soul could withstand or if they can even withstand it.
Even those without talent could begin cultivating with the power of a single star.
At that thought, Li Feng couldn't help but think of Zhou Bai.
Just as his mind was about to drift deeper into those possibilities—
BOOM!
BOOM!
The fierce sounds of battle between Goldie and Bai Qianlong snapped him back to reality.
Li Feng exhaled , shaking his head.
"This isn't the time to daydream," he muttered.
He decided to deal with the urgent situation first then he could think more about the potential of [Star Apostle] ability later.

Li Feng, whose thought have ended, smiled , feeling the immense power within him and grinned as he looked at his arm, which seemed to grow bigger and thicker, with faint silver cracks glowing across the surface of his skin like divine scars.
'One minute of this?' he murmured, clenching his fist.
Then a low chuckle escaped his lips. '...That's more than enough.'
WHOOOSH!
With that, the huge pillar of light disappeared.
And Li Feng new form appeared before the world.
Mo Shuyan breath caught in his throat as he saw the scene above and in front of him.
In that moment, he saw Li Feng reveal new form as he stood there , taller , broader, and seemingly divine....almost as he has transcend mortality itself
His every movement radiated restrain destruction.
His presence alone seemed to bend the very air and reality around him.
Every breath he took seemed to draw in the world's spiritual energy.
Even Bai Qianlong's demonic aura waver and shrank, crushed beneath that impossible pressure.
Mo Shuyan lips parted in disbelief. "You… what are you…?"
"Hmm?"
Li Feng tilted his head slightly, as if pondering the question then remembering the name of his skill,
He raised his gaze toward the sky, where those countless small visible stars seemed to pulse in answer and he smile.
"You can call me…"
His voice resounded through the air, deep and boundless, carrying a resonance that seemed to stir the heavens themselves.
For a moment , even the world fell silent...as if the world itself bowed before the one who now commanded the light of the stars.
"Ruler of the Stars."
