The battle on the front lines was urgent, and there wasn't much time for Liang Ji to slowly refine and digest the Demon Core to improve his cultivation and strength.
So Liang Ji immediately activated his Natal Star System, raising the time flow on his Natal Star to its current limit. At the same time, he poured all the Light of Creation he had mastered into his Natal Star.
