Su Yuan opened his eyes and saw dozens of unfamiliar beings already surrounding him.

Each one's aura was similar to that of a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal;

they should be the Rule Ancient Gods!

One of them walked at the forefront, looking at Su Yuan with a strange expression.

Su Yuan sensed fluctuations of star rules emanating from the other party and understood why they found it strange.

"I am the Star Ancient God. Did you also ascend using the star rules?" that Ancient God asked solemnly.

Su Yuan nodded calmly. "Yes!"

The Star Ancient God fell silent, then said, "I have heard that there exists a type of Rule Qi in the world that allows High Gods to break through to Rule Ancient God. Could it be that you, divine friend, broke through using this method?"

"Exactly!" Su Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Might I ask how you wish to be addressed, divine friend?" inquired the Star Ancient God.

Su Yuan looked at the other Rule Ancient Gods and declared, "I am Seven Stars! My name echoes throughout the world!"

As soon as the words fell, all the Rule Ancient Gods were stunned.

They immediately looked towards the location of the Earth Divine System, where nine primordial stars were rotating. Recently, within the God Realm Sea, the faith of the Big Dipper had been spreading wildly. Because of the Big Dipper's generous feedback on faith, its spread was extremely rapid!

Many divine systems were dissatisfied with the Big Dipper, leading to numerous conflicts. However, since the Big Dipper was equivalent to nine God Kings, various divine systems were still discussing plans to ally and had not yet begun an assault on the Big Dipper.

Unexpectedly, Su Yuan had broken through ahead of schedule!

"So it's you!" The Star Ancient God sighed inwardly with regret. He had indeed noticed the Big Dipper but hadn't acted hastily. He never expected the other party to break through so quickly.

Su Yuan looked at the Star Ancient God with a chuckle, also observing the situation of the other Rule Ancient Gods.

These Hunyuan Great Luo, oh no, Rule Ancient Gods, were also divided into factions, roughly split into five groups.

The Star Ancient God noticed his gaze and was about to explain a thing or two to him.

Suddenly, the expressions of all the Rule Ancient Gods changed.

They all looked towards the direction of Atlan.

Above the immense, boundless Atlan Continent, a mass of pitch-black mist appeared, covering a vast area!

It wasn't just the Atlan Continent;

throughout the entire God Realm Sea, over one-third of the planes had pitch-black mist appearing.

"Nameless Mist!" an Ancient God exclaimed in shock.

"What's happening? Why has the Nameless Mist suddenly spread? Previously, it only appeared in a few dozen planes!" Another Ancient God's face turned grave.

"Could it be that Ragnarök has arrived early?"

Su Yuan also saw the abruptly appearing Nameless Mist. To be precise, it was Calamity Breath! Tribulation!

It has appeared! As he expected, an abnormal situation occurred when he broke through to Hunyuan!

Once he breaks through to Hunyuan, a calamity descends to eliminate him, this "Reincarnated Body"!

Su Yuan didn't know the mechanism behind this. Clearly, he had already generated a new true spirit, yet this mechanism was still activated.

Some Ancient Gods unconsciously linked Su Yuan's breakthrough with the Nameless Mist, but it was only simple speculation. They didn't voice it aloud because it was too far-fetched. Su Yuan's breakthrough was at most a trigger. It was highly likely that anyone breaking through to Ancient God would incite the Nameless Mist. Therefore, these Ancient Gods rationally didn't say much.

An Ancient God proposed, "We should go request instructions from the Creator God. Ragnarök requires the combined strength of the entire Realm Sea to resist!"

"Let's go!"

Many Rule Ancient Gods left directly.

Soon, only ten Ancient Gods remained beside Su Yuan.

The Star Ancient God had not left. Instead, he asked Su Yuan, "Divine Friend Seven Stars, would you be willing to join our Natural Alliance?"

Su Yuan shook his head.

The Star Ancient God didn't give up and continued introducing, "Our alliance consists of ten natural element Ancient Gods: myself representing Stars, plus Earth, Ocean, Sky, Ice, Wind, Fire, Thunder, Night, and Blood Moon. The other alliances are the Death Alliance, Life Alliance, Light Alliance, and Dark Alliance, each divided by their rules. Our Natural Alliance is the most suitable for you to join."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan still shook his head. "I prefer to remain independent."

Fortunately, the Banyan Doppelganger was already hidden. Otherwise, this Star Ancient God might try to recruit both of his bodies.

The Star Ancient God said, "Now, Ragnarök is about to begin. Even Rule Ancient Gods cannot necessarily guarantee their own safety. Furthermore, although we have become Rule Ancient Gods, we are still responsible for our believers. If too many believers fall during Ragnarök, the massive resentment from their deaths could potentially drag us down from our Ancient God rank! The only hope to survive the calamity of Ragnarök now is to join an alliance and form offensive and defensive pacts together!"

Su Yuan chuckled as he looked at everyone and said with a smile, "No need. I have confidence in my own strength and in my believers!"

He suddenly looked into the distance and shouted loudly, "I divide one into nine, transforming into the Big Dipper, spreading faith, comprehending rules. Today, having broken through to Rule Ancient God, I shall reward all living beings! Those who chant my name shall receive blessings!"

His words, carried by the starlight of the Big Dipper, resonated across the major planes of the God Realm Sea. Countless beings who believed in the Big Dipper heard this proclamation, erupting with emotions of astonishment, pleasant surprise, excitement, and more!

They all knelt towards the Big Dipper, frantically chanting Su Yuan's name, reciting the Seven Stars Prayers that the Seven Stars Sect disciples had spread over the years.

They offered their most devout faith in this lifetime, transmitting the most concentrated faith power to Su Yuan!

Through his Mental Avatar, Su Yuan received this faith completely and without loss.

Su Yuan was shocked to discover that the total amount of divine power converted from this faith had reached the magnitude of a Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal! It could be called immeasurable!

Regarding this, Su Yuan was not stingy at all and directly fed back one hundred percent to all living beings!

In reality, this power was temporarily stored within the believers' bodies. When they eventually fall, it would be returned to Su Yuan in the form of Mental Avatars. Therefore, he could return all this power to the believers.

Previously, afraid it would be too outrageous, he returned at most one-tenth. Now, naturally, he didn't need to hold back and directly returned one hundred percent!

A vast amount of divine power was fed back into the believers' bodies, causing their cultivation and strength to skyrocket!

Many believers who had reached the peak of Demigod status, at this moment, utilized the massive feedback of divine power to condense divine sparks, ignite their divine fire, and become true Gods!

A frenzy of cultivation improvement was underway. Countless cultivators, witnessing the crazy increase in strength of the star believers, also switched their faith to Seven Stars mid-way. Unexpectedly, even those who converted midway still received the power feedback!

Thus, within the God Realm Sea, the level of faith in the Big Dipper reached an incredible height!

The ten Rule High Gods around Su Yuan witnessed all of this.

However, they did not stop Su Yuan's actions. Now that Ragnarök had begun, having too many believers wasn't necessarily a good thing.

The Star Ancient God nodded and said, "Since you are unwilling, we can discuss it later. The door of our Natural Alliance is always open for you!"

After saying this, the ten Rule Ancient Gods also vanished together.

A system prompt sounded in Su Yuan's ear.

[Ding, Eternal Fame Value +6]

A total of six Rule Ancient Gods were deeply impressed by Su Yuan's actions, thus giving him feedback in Eternal Fame Value.

This was an extremely pleasant surprise for Su Yuan!

Breaking through in another Realm Sea actually yielded such additional rewards.

His Eternal Fame Value was previously 95/100. Now, with an increase of 6 points, didn't that mean he leveled up?

[Ding, Level increased!]

Sure enough, his level also successfully increased.

Su Yuan immediately looked at the system panel.

[Name]: Su Yuan

[Region]: Boundless Realms Sea of the Myriad Heavens

[Level]: Lv2: (101/1000)

[Realm]: Early Stage Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal (1/100)

[Eternal Trait 1]: Primordial Star Ancestor

[Eternal Trait 2]: Awaiting Selection

[Eternal Trait 3]: Locked

Su Yuan immediately clicked on the second Eternal Trait!

Three options materialized before him.

[Eternal Tear]: Transform a domain into a teardrop, adorning the eternal starry sky

[Ashen Earth]: Annihilate everything into ashes, paving the land with cinders

[Water of Vitality]: Extract vitality from all things, merging it into an ocean of life force

Su Yuan fell into deep thought as he looked at these three options.

The explanations for the three options were simple, but the three choices—Earth, Ocean, Starry Sky—had relatively clear orientations.

Su Yuan felt that one should continuously strengthen their strong points. Once something becomes strong enough, there will be no weaknesses.

Therefore, he chose the first option, [Eternal Tear]!

The moment the trait was selected.

Within his Dantian, around the pre-existing source of star rules, a deep starry sky spontaneously condensed.

The star origin within it resembled a massive teardrop, suspended within the eternal starry sky.

Su Yuan clenched his hand, and a pitch-black mirror appeared before him. On the mirror's surface, there was one and only one teardrop.

That teardrop contained the full power of [Primordial Star Ancestor], concentrated into a tiny teardrop. If unleashed, its power would be unimaginable.

Su Yuan focused his mind and directed the mirror to one side.

The Banyan Doppelganger very naturally gave up resistance and merged into the mirror.

In an instant, another teardrop appeared in the mirror, connecting with the original teardrop to form a simple necklace!

Su Yuan's eyes shifted. He reversed the mirror, and the Banyan Doppelganger fell out of it, returning to its original form without the slightest damage.

Su Yuan thought for a moment and then aimed the mirror at an ordinary star in the starry sky.

That star was drawn into that patch of starry sky and also transformed into a teardrop!

However, it didn't connect with the original one. Instead, it became a teardrop the size of a speck of dust existing on the mirror's surface.

Even though that star's power was negligible, Su Yuan still discovered that when wielding the Eternal Tear, he could still utilize the combined power of the star origin and that ordinary star.

"Is this a treasure or a spell? Incredible!"

Su Yuan exclaimed in astonishment. "If I draw the tribulation into the starry sky, can I then utilize the tribulation's power for myself?"
