Star God

"Star Realm."

Li Pin spoke.

At this moment, his Natal Star...

Or rather, the resonance between the Star Realm Fragment containing his Natal Star and the Star Realm had reached its peak. Like a drop of water falling into a river, the two began to merge at an astonishing speed.

Throughout this process, the Star Realm Fragment seemed to transform into a barrier, protecting the Natal Star like an atmosphere.
