He gave a bitter smile, "This is all I know."

Young Master Xing truly frowned this time.

Confusion flashed in his eyes for the first time. Could it be that he guessed wrong?

The news the Starlight Master mentioned about Yemo was vague, but it was precisely because it was vague that it was credible — currently, only Yin Shen Palace knows the real information about Yemo.

"As for the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan... I desire to participate in it more than anyone, and I even had the opportunity to join. But it was lost."

The Starlight Master looked worn out.

"Can you explain more specifically?" Young Master Xing frowned.

He knew it was a critical moment.

"Because the children in our Golden Grass Hall typically consume the Five Spirits Gu around the age of ten. And ten, after all, is a threshold. Although the internal Five Spirits Gu causes much less harm than that from outside, there is still a large number of ten-year-old children who die on that very day."

"Those who pass that barrier are the ones who will be truly trained. And the one responsible for our training is the Vice Sect Hierarch, Ren Zhongyuan."

At these words, Young Master Xing's eyes flickered slightly.

Starlight Master smiled bitterly, "Those with better aptitudes were selected directly by the Vice Sect Hierarch, and my own aptitude was considered outstanding at the time, so I was among the first batch chosen by Vice Sect Hierarch Ren Zhongyuan..."

At this point, Young Master Xing let out a long 'oh.'

The affairs between Yin Shen Palace and Ren Zhongyuan were quite significant, and it was said that the two Vice Sect Hierarchs almost started a fight.

Young Master Xing naturally knew a lot of insider information. At the very least, he knew about how Ren Zhongyuan almost completely emptied a portion of the power from Yin Shen Palace.

And one of those was the seed of the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan.

Now upon hearing the Starlight Master say this, he immediately understood some things.

"The Vice Sect Hierarch trained us, and then all my positions were arranged by the Hall Masters and Squad Leaders under the Vice Sect Hierarch. I rose step by step, until in the last Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan, my cultivation level was precisely at the Sixth Realm of Innate Grandmaster. I had three more years to grow."

"Therefore, the Vice Sect Hierarch valued a few of us particularly highly, providing many resources for us to break through to the General Level, striving to achieve good results in the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan three years later. As for me, I broke through to the General Level precisely half a year after the last Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan finished."

"Three years later, I was already at the Peak of Seventh Grade General. The Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan was about to come, and the Vice Sect Hierarch sent down orders to get ready, to set off at any moment."

Starlight Master sighed deeply.

"At that time, Ren Zhongyuan should have had the final say, right? Since you had a quota, why didn't you make it?"

Young Master Xing frowned and asked.

"I was unlucky... because at that time, I was the Incense Master at the Baiyun State sub branch. The then Leader was Vice Sect Hierarch's confidant, Wu Shanzhou..."

Starlight Master sighed, "Young Master Xing should have heard, the Yixin Sect's Baiyun State sub branch, before the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan, was wiped out by the Guardian..."

"I see."

Young Master Xing nodded silently.

This matter, he had indeed heard of.

Primarily due to the intense situation between Yin Shen Palace and Ren Zhongyuan, it was well-known, and everyone talked about it.

Moreover, Young Master Xing had even heard that the Baiyun State sub branch was deliberately sacrificed by Yin Shen Palace. Later, when Ren Zhongyuan got angry, Yin Shen Palace used the opportunity to kill one of Ren Zhongyuan's Hall Masters.

What Starlight says matches up perfectly with the timeline.

"At that time, while I was at the Baiyun State sub branch, I struggled to escape, but I was seriously injured, barely able to move by myself... And not long after that incident, the Generals with quotas to join the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan began to gather..."

The Starlight Master looked utterly resentful, extremely desolate.

"I lay in a hidden dark room at that time, almost replying with tears that I couldn't participate due to my severe injury. After that, I never received any instructions again..."

He sighed deeply, giving a bitter smile, his face completely stricken with unspeakable sorrow.

"I watched helplessly as the only opportunity in my life to rise as fast as the clouds slipped away from my grasp..."

"And it was also from that moment that I realized one thing."

"What was it?"

Young Master Xing asked.

"I realized... people must believe in fate! This is my fate as Starlight! After 30 years of hard work, fighting desperately every day, always fantasizing about entering life's examination room. But just as I was about to walk into the biggest test of destiny, I found myself lying in bed, unable to get up."

"If this isn't fate, then what is it!"

The Starlight Master let out a bitter laugh, saying, "I don't know if I accepted my fate or what, but during that period of recovery, I suffered daily until the day the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan began. Suddenly, I became indifferent to it all, carefree, as if none of it had anything to do with me. Then I understood that in this life, I would only continue killing without end, working a million times harder than others, yet still might not get the same level as others."

"Perhaps I grasped it, or maybe I just no longer had any hope, and when I let go of this obsession in my heart, my injuries surprisingly healed quickly."

The Starlight Master spoke with self-mockery, "It's a coincidence, on the very day the Cultivating Gu to Become a God Plan ended, I completely recovered... haha..."

The final two 'haha's were truly filled with desolation to the utmost.

Even Young Master Xing, who repeatedly said he didn't believe him, sighed, feeling sorry for him.

Thinking about his ordeal, it's heartrending to hear, moving one to tears.

How unlucky must one be?

After struggling in cultivation, surviving through life and death, finally achieving the qualifications, reaching the grade level, and indeed, when the opportunity came to you, you ended up injured.
