Receiving Divine Will Within Starfall Island Hall, Star Staff Returns to Its Master and Reflects Her Original Resolve

At the heart of Starfall Judgment Island, Qinghe Hall stood quietly beside Star River Cliff. Its roof was covered in Meteorite Stone capable of reflecting the paths of the stars, while its doors bore star patterns originating from the same source as Lin Zhixia's martial soul. The wind passed through the gaps in the hall, producing a low murmur like a flowing river of stars—this was the place where the Starfall Judgment God's divine artifact, the Star Staff, was enshrined.

Lin Zhixia followed Ling Yun into the hall, unconsciously lightening her steps. There were no unnecessary furnishings inside. Only a staff floated above the raised platform at the center, forged entirely from Star Marrow Jade. Pale golden star-path runes coiled around its shaft, and a fist-sized Meteorite Core was embedded at its tip. Three rings of different colors circled the core, corresponding respectively to the three Divine Rules of "Destruction," "New Life," and "Balance." This was the Star Staff she needed to obtain for her Eighth Trial.

"Inheritor, step forward." Ling Yun stood by the entrance, his voice deliberately low. "The Star Staff is bound to the will of the Starfall Judgment God. Whether you can lift it depends entirely on whether you can unite your will with God's Will."

Lin Zhixia took a deep breath and walked toward the platform. When she was still three meters from the staff, an immense pressure suddenly erupted from it—not the gravitational force of Sea God's Light, but a spiritual pressure carrying God's Will. Like countless shards of starlight, it pierced directly into her sea of consciousness. Her steps halted, cold sweat instantly beading on her brow. Only by frantically activating Star Breath Perception within her sea of consciousness did she barely manage to steady herself.

Is this the trial of God's Will?
