World Rune? Heavenly Dao Rule Rune!

Forever Seventeen-Year-Old Girl [Administrator]: "Why did the livestream suddenly shut down?"

Primordial Great Expert [Group Leader]: "Aba aba, I was just getting into it. Why did it suddenly end?"

Unreliable God of Ninja World: "Hisss—her strength directly rose by an entire tier. That reward is way too generous. She's now on the same level as my second brother, Senju Tobirama."

Spirit of Time: "But the World Rune we mentioned earlier seems to have been fused away."

Plain Reaper: "One relies on external power, while the other becomes one's own strength. Any sensible person would make the right choice."

Aizen Sosuke had quite a bit to say on that matter.

In order to shatter the boundary between Hollows and Death Gods and step into the S-rank realm, he was developing an item known as the Hogyoku. Once it fused perfectly, it would grant him the power to break through his limits.

However, before it had fully fused with him, it was still an external object.

If someone else took it away, he would lose the Hogyoku's power. That still wasn't reassuring.

Istar Battle Spirit: "Her strength directly surged from the job-change stage to the initial awakening stage. Are livestream rewards really this generous?! If I came a few more times, could I solo an Apostle?! (Tempted)"

Nine-to-Five Admiral: "There are livestream rewards, but the bigger factor was probably that World Rune."

Kaguya's Young Lady: "That's right. Being able to withstand Leona's first attack really was thanks to the little stone the Group Leader gave her."

Primordial Great Expert [Group Leader]: "What? The little stone I gave her could block Leona's attack?"

Qin Xi, who was eating rice porridge, suddenly froze.

That pale-blue little stone was merely a small stone from the Primordial World that he had picked up casually. It had no spiritual charm, no innate spiritual radiance, and had only just come into being, absorbing barely any Primordial World spiritual energy.

He had merely picked it up and idly polished it whenever he had nothing to do.

As though reminiscing about his previous life, he had used his exquisite carving skills to shape it into the appearance of "Glacier Amplification."

"How strange. That actually worked?"

"Was it my carving skill at work, or was this stone already powerful to begin with?"

"No, none of the Life-Saving Puppets I made ever worked. Maybe the laws of the worlds are different, resulting in different effects."

"..."

Rubbing his smooth chin, Qin Xi muttered to himself.

Among Qin Xi's many collectibles, that pale-blue little stone could be called his worst handiwork. It had merely been something he casually made during his novice days to hone his skills.

If that thing could become a "World Rune: Inspiration Path," then the items he polished after mastering his carving craft...

Wouldn't they become runes containing the laws of the Heavenly Dao?!

How could that be possible? The raw material had only been an ordinary little stone.

"Forget it. I'm probably overthinking it."

Scratching his cheek, Qin Xi spoke.

Having lived in seclusion within the Heavenly Dao Dojo for so long, watching a movie-level battle was at least a way to pass the boring time.

"Waaah~~~ So delicious!"

"..."

Ao Xin, who was temporarily staying here, was currently cradling a wooden bowl and savoring the delicacy.

It was clearly just rice, yet the rice porridge made by the Valley Master was exceptionally sweet and fragrant. It also contained considerable Merit, which could cleanse the Karmic Debt on her body and cause her cultivation to surge continuously.

After eating Merit Ingredients for several days in a row, Ao Xin's cultivation had risen from the Early Earth Immortal stage.

Like she had boarded a rocket, it soared all the way to the Early Heaven Immortal stage. That speed would absolutely make countless great experts' eyes pop out.

Although many great experts had been Taiyi Golden Immortals or Great Luo Golden Immortals from the moment they were born, advancing an entire major realm every few days like Ao Xin was simply impossible.

"Valley Master, the Sun Star hasn't appeared for a long time recently. Do you know what happened?"

"The Sun Star? It probably went on vacation."

"Ah... ah?"

Ao Xin slowly typed out a question mark.

The Sun Star had not come out to work for several consecutive days. That was already an extremely abnormal occurrence.

The Valley Master was a legendary Primordial Great Expert and surely knew some of the reasons behind it, but Ao Xin had never expected the answer to be that it had gone on vacation?!

Could the Sun Star have gained spiritual charm too?!

"Wait... if it's on vacation, when will she come back?" Ao Xin suddenly had a bad feeling.

"When a Quasi-Sage great expert takes a nap, it lasts several thousand years. I suppose the Sun Star starts at around that number too," Qin Xi said casually.

Whether there was a Sun Star or not had little impact on his life.

After all, Yu Xue had said that the Great Lightbulb Technique did not consume much mana. She could basically use it around the clock, keeping everything within a hundred li of the Heavenly Dao Dojo brightly lit at all times.

"Sev... several thousand years?!"

"Maybe tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. It depends on the Sun Star's mood."

"For that long? The entire Primordial World will fall into chaos, won't it?"

If the Sun Star truly stopped working for tens or hundreds of thousands of years...

It would not affect the top Big Bosses much, but for the lower and middle-tier creatures of the Primordial World, it would be a devastating blow!

"All right, go play."

"I'm heading out to catch a few fish."

"Fresh, tender Fish Soup brimming with spiritual energy—just thinking about it makes my mouth water."

"..."

Thinking of the fish raised in his fishpond, the cravings in his stomach were instantly stirred awake.

Within the Heavenly Dao Dojo, living beings had to meet two conditions before they could take human form—

1. Reach a certain level of cultivation

2. Receive Qin Xi's permission

Without Qin Xi's permission, even if one reached the cultivation of a Quasi-Sage, one still could not take human form.

Therefore, some of the fish raised in the fishpond might have considerable cultivation, yet they could only obediently become food on the plate and enter his stomach as a delicacy...
