"Now that I've finished reading the 'old news,' it's time to check out the current news."

Gu Feng sighed with a smile, closing the "old news" screens one by one.

These were specially collected and left behind by Kong Yang, having become outdated thousands of years ago.

Now that he was taking office, he naturally needed to understand the current situation first.

His fingers tapped, opening the homepages of various news media outlets, and all sorts of news flooded the screen.

Xin Moyu Emerges from Seclusion, Challenges "Second of the Epoch, Wei Mo," but Regrettably Loses!

After Seven Hundred Years, Yue Zhen Battles Fu Shan Again, Avengeing his Past Defeat and Advancing to Fifth of the Epoch!

Nearing the End of the Era, a Hundred Epoch Paragons Shine in the War of the Four Sages!

Dominating the Top Spot for Three Hundred Years! Qiu Zhan Overpowers All Epoch Paragons, Reigning Supreme in the Starry Sea, Who Can Resist!

Headlines, one line after another.

Xin Moyu, Wei Mo, Yue Zhen, Fu Shan, Qiu Zhan...

One name after another entered Gu Feng's eyes, some he had heard of, some he hadn't.

But all these people had one thing in common: Epoch Paragons!

Almost all news reports revolved around these Epoch Paragons!

Gu Feng suddenly came back to his senses, and couldn't help but sigh with vicissitude.

"Ten thousand years have passed in a flash, and the Xinchen Era is coming to an end!"

Waking up, he faced the huge impact brought by Li Qingshan one after another, to the point that he almost forgot about this.

After glancing through, he simply flipped directly to the front page headlines and clicked into the [Epoch Paragon Ranking] live broadcast room.

An ancient stone tablet stood in the starry sky, with a hundred names listed in order.

The tablet only recorded names, origins, and years of birth, without specific rankings.

But various media outlets were very considerate, directly pasting ranking subtitles on the screen, overlapping with the tablet's surface, making it clear at a glance.

[Epoch First, Qiu Zhan]

[Epoch Second, Wei Mo]

[Epoch Third, Yuan Miao]

[Epoch Fourth, Xin Moyu]

[Epoch Fifth, Yue Zhen]

[Epoch Sixth, Fu Shan]

[Epoch Tenth, Cao Wuyan]

[Epoch Hundredth...]

A hundred paragons, listed on the [Epoch Paragon Ranking], hung above the vast starry sea.

The barrage was bustling, refreshing frantically.

"Ten thousand years, a hundred Epoch Paragons gather, waiting only for the 'War of the Four Sages'!"

"How fortunate we are! We were actually born at the end of the Xinchen Era, witnessing it with our own eyes!"

"Now that we're approaching the end of the era, the paragons from outside the system should have returned, right?"

"Nonsense! Haven't you seen that the changes in the rankings have been less frequent in the last two years? These hundred Epoch Paragons should be all of them."

"Upstairs, don't speak too confidently. I just heard news from my uncle who works as a cook in the Celestial Killer Sect that Feng Boyong is about to awaken."

"That's right, I found it in the historical records. Feng Boyong should awaken in twenty-eight years, aiming for the 'War of the Four Sages'!"

"Uh...excuse me for asking! Who is Feng Boyong?"

"Hahaha, you people from the White Tiger Star System are killing me, even if there really is such a person, I want to ask you, can a newly breakthrough Seventh Order Myriad Manifestations really squeeze into the top ten of the list? Being able to hang at the tail end would be good enough!"

"Heh, also aiming for the 'War of the Four Sages,' that's a bit of overestimating himself."

"Sorry to interrupt! Feng Boyong might not be able to, but Li Qingshan definitely can! According to the ancestral teachings passed down in my family, as long as Li Qingshan awakens..."

"Interrupt my ass! Where did this Li Qingshan come from?"

"Nearing the end of the era, stop fantasizing, one by one. First of all, let's not talk about whether Feng Boyong and Li Qingshan really exist, even if they really come out, so what?"

"That's right, Qiu Zhan has dominated the list for three hundred years, do you think they can turn the world upside down?"

"Interesting!"

Gu Feng shook his head, smiling, and scanned the barrage of comments, not paying them any mind.

Compared to the passage of millennia, the hundred-year lifespan of ordinary people was simply too short.

In addition, with the end of the Epoch drawing near, all the news revolved around the [Epoch Paragon Ranking]. The names of Feng Boyong and Li Qingshan had long faded into legend. It was normal for these younger generations not to know them.

However...

Time will ultimately prove everything!

The wheels of time rolled forward, crushing year after year.

The [Epoch Paragon Ranking] livestream became increasingly lively, with countless people taking time out of their day to enter the livestream and check the changes in the rankings.

However, as time passed, the changes in rankings became fewer and fewer, and even the related challenge news all disappeared.

It seemed that the Paragons on the Ranking had completely figured out each other's strengths and tacitly accepted the current rankings.

Just when countless people were bored and could only constantly review and rehash the wonderful moments of the past.

Xinchen Era, 9975.

A name suddenly burst into everyone's eyes.

[Epoch Paragon Ranking Fifth, Feng Boyong]

Instantly, the barrage was stunned.

"?"

"?+1"

"?+2"

Demon Subjugation Division, Qingshan Star

"Feng Boyong is this fierce?!"

Xia Cunzhen's eyes widened as he stared blankly at the light screen, looking at the name below Feng Boyong.

[Epoch Paragon Ranking Sixth, Yue Zhen]

Obviously, Feng Boyong had sought out Yue Zhen as soon as he came out of seclusion, and defeated him in one battle, avenging the chase from back then!

However...

Xia Cunzhen swallowed, his gaze turning to Gu Feng, who was also somewhat shocked, his eyes full of doubt:

"Elder Gu, you just broke through to the Eighth Order Myriad Manifestations, and Feng Boyong also just broke through..."

"But he's too fierce to be scientific... no, I mean, too un-Martial Dao, right?"

"Cough cough!"

Gu Feng coughed repeatedly, his face twitching.

Was it even possible to compare him with Feng Boyong?

After glaring fiercely at Xia Cunzhen, he looked at the screen again and sighed with emotion.

"This is the Martial Dao, you just don't understand it!"

Xia Cunzhen was even more confused, "I don't understand?"

Gu Feng turned his head, his gaze fixed on Xia Cunzhen.

"Do you still remember the five Divine Form bodies?"

"Of course!" Xia Cunzhen nodded vigorously, "Meteor Body, Satellite Body, Dwarf Planet Body, Planet Body, Gaseous Giant Star Body!"

"Back then, when I first broke through to the Seventh Order, I was just a Planet Body, like Kong Yang is now."

"It was after listening to your advice, Elder, that I didn't choose to 'Body as Celestial Body' when I was at the tenth level of Planet Body, but instead embarked on the path of advancing to 'Gaseous Giant Star Body'."

Gu Feng nodded lightly, and said seriously:

"It was too early to say back then, so I didn't tell you much, but today I will explain it to you properly!"

"The advancement of the five Divine Form bodies is a path to make up for the foundation."

"But, even the weakest 'Meteor Body' can still Body as Celestial Body, and still enter the Eighth Order Myriad Manifestations!"

"Then why would this foundation need to be supplemented?"

Xia Cunzhen didn't hesitate and said directly:

"Of course, it's because of the Myriad Manifestations Embodiment!"

"That's right, Myriad Manifestations Embodiment!"

Gu Feng nodded with a smile, explaining:

"When one achieves Body as Celestial Body, the celestial body they transform into becomes the 'Prime Manifestation,' from which the Myriad Manifestations are derived."

"Differences in the 'Prime Manifestation' represent huge disparities in foundation!"

"Just like those Eighth Order old fogeys who died under Li Qingshan's blade back then, and the Epoch Paragons on the Epoch Paragon Ranking now!"

"Furthermore, only a Prime Manifestation of 'Gaseous Giant Star' or higher has a chance to unify all Myriad Manifestations in the end, leverage the Star Realm's rules, and advance to Ninth Order!"

"Ninth Order..."

Xia Cunzhen's eyes showed longing for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses.

"Elder Gu, then Feng Boyong, Yue Zhen..."

What he had just said didn't explain why Feng Boyong was so strong!

"It's simple!"

Gu Feng smiled faintly and waved his hand, saying:

"The Star Martial Hall's research has never stopped. In the Seventh Order, there's the Azure Sun Sutra, which is enough to defy and defeat Eighth Order opponents. Naturally, there's similar research in the Eighth Order. According to Minister Ming, it seems to be related to Martial Dao Will and bloodlines..."

"Qiu Zhan has dominated the Epoch Paragon Ranking for three hundred years, he must have integrated a bloodline and achieved the Qiuniu Prime Manifestation!"

"Feng Boyong doesn't have a bloodline, so he should have mastered some kind of Martial Dao Will and fused it into his Prime Manifestation!"

"Martial Dao Will?"

Xia Cunzhen was completely confused and wanted to ask more questions, but seeing Gu Feng's earlier "according to Minister Ming," it was clear that he wouldn't get any answers.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly remembered another question.

"Elder Gu, if we don't consider Martial Dao Will or bloodlines, and just consider a Star as the Prime Manifestation, how does it compare to Qiu Zhan and Feng Boyong..."

"I don't know."

Gu Feng shook his head as a matter of course, not even offering a guess.

Faced with Xia Cunzhen's bewildered expression, he directly uttered eight words.

"Apotheosis as a Star is unprecedented!"
