12. These stars are not those of last night, for whom does the wind and dew stand in the midnight (First Part)

The glow of the Polar Star was gradually dimmed under this divine oppression.

Facing the imperial will of Lu Lin, it conceded.

The luminosity that once again radiated from the star body has become very soft. The vague inscription slowly dropped a beam of starlight into the external world, slowly moving towards Lu Lin. Lu Lin extended his hand to the starlight, where they intersected, the starlight transformed into a complex but irregular golden loop on the back of his hand.

With the emergence of the loop, the aura of the Polar Star as a whole weakened a lot but Lu Lin’s divine consciousness erupted into extreme luminosity, as if at this moment it replaced the Polar Star, becoming the polar light of the night sky.

At the same time, on the rooftop, a starry illusion slowly appeared behind Lu Lin. It was no longer the faint starlight of his previous life—his illusion was the entire Polar Star!

In this life, he no longer sought the approval of the stars but rather, with his divine soul, he surpassed them!

The entire town flickered because of this, restoring everything to the original state. But everyone had a sense of foreboding in the fleeting moment of light and darkness, and people looked out of the window.

And then, they saw that the trajectory of the stars above their heads was flowing here.

"That is..."

At the window, Mercedes, clutching her neck chain, looked towards the direction of the Fallen Abyss, her expression changing, muttering to herself.

Involuntarily, she ran towards the stairs leading to the rooftop.

"Stars have changed..."

In the Star Watching Hall in the southern part of the land, as the star tracks changed, the heavy sky instrument surrounded by the bronze dragon and phoenix gave continuous dragon chants and phoenix noises. The elder looked at the sky, his eyes flashed with surprise, thoughtful.

In a plane isolated from the world, where everything seemed illusory yet real, a young man in broken armor looked up at the starry sky, revealing an evil smile.

It seemed as if he was observing the polar star above the Fallen Abyss through the world wall, or as if he was looking through the essence of this world, watching something else.

The starlight was brilliant, and a transparent figure stirred the stars around him like a lonely flying bird.

Around the Fallen Abyss, that extremely dazzling spot, all the stars rotated for it, as if the entire starry sky had turned into a vortex, and all the stars seemed to worship. The polar star was together with Lu Lin, becoming the supreme king of the stars!

The vast stellar source from the tracks of the stars surged towards Lu Lin’s divine consciousness, continually nourishing his broken and mottled soul. Under the scouring of the stellar source, his already strong divine soul emitted an even greater momentum.

"Star Core, condense!"

Lu Lin shouted, his consciousness and body were connected with the essence of the polar star serving as a bridge. He suddenly opened his eyes on the rooftop, his originally blood-red eyes were rendered gold like a perpetual flame.

The illusional star behind him overlapped with his body, flowing through his limbs. His right hand, like his divine consciousness, intertwined with golden lines, forming a stellar loop.

Inside his body, a majestic inscription with an ancient feel was thus born. The inscriptions within it were exactly the same as those contained inside the Polar Star.

That is his Star Core.

The dormant stellar source in his body also awakened because of this. The dark blue stellar source emerged from the gold, intertwining with it. His Star Core, his eyes became blue and gold as a result.

Among the sky, Lu Lin's divine consciousness looked towards the Blizzard Star he chose in his previous life. The Blizzard Star seemed to fear him and dropped a basic element towards him. Therefore, outside his Star Core, another dark blue vague inscription was added, slowly revolving around the Star Core of the polar star.

His entire body burst out with a timeless dignity because of this.

Double Star Core!

Almost the moment the Star Core was formed, the stellar source that congealed in the vortex descended towards his body. The stellar tidal flood rushed towards him over the rooftop.

However, only he who has a Star Core can perceive it. To others, it seemed quiet at the top, but in Lu Lin's perspective, the surging stellar source was rich and boundless!

His soul, his body like a black hole, began to devour the descending stellar source frenziedly. His mottled soul was incessantly, his magic, his realm were also climbing up madly at the moment.He used most of the stellar origin to repair his soul and refine his physique, but even so, the seven star-like attribute seeds in his body greedily absorbed the starlight, growing continuously and emitting astonishing fluctuations.

The star seeds transformed into luminous celestial bodies, and his cultivation directly broke through the fourth and fifth stages, reaching the sixth stage!

More celestial bodies were continuously born within his body, with same-attribute star seeds linking to each other, forming star clusters. Thus, his cultivation broke through the sixth stage to the seventh!

Only when he reached the mid-seventh stage did his progress stabilize.

When he opened his eyes again and stood up from the rooftop, his stellar power had been exhausted.

His spirit and his physique at this time were no longer as before.

His eyes reverted to blood red, and he reached out his right hand towards the sky, as if the stellar origin across the sky would become a sharp sword at his will.

This was still him controlling the star sword with the power of the seventh stage.

Though only being in the seventh stage, he was already unbeatable under the spiritual realm. With the star sword in his hand, he feared nothing, even the spiritual realm.

He turned to go downstairs.

Then, he saw the elf girl who had been standing behind him for who knows how long, still watching the starry sky.

In that moment——
