Meanwhile, in the Blood Rot Ancestral Land.

"Nine Heavens..."

The golden light had already faded from Li Qingshan's eyes as he lowered his head to look beneath his feet.

The nine-layered Star Realm canopy spread out like shattered glazed-glass stairs, layer upon layer, covering the vast and boundless real universe.

Galaxies revolved and starlight flowed. In his eyes now, they were no longer grand creations beyond reach, but a sight he could look down upon, even... touch.

With his viewpoint elevated, even distances spanning galaxies no longer seemed so remote.

"Stand high, see far?"

Seemingly enlightened, Li Qingshan slowly raised his head and gazed toward something higher than the Nine Heavens beneath his feet... the legendary Above the Nine Heavens!

Rumble—!

An unprecedented sense of grandeur and chaos crashed into his mind like a silent tidal wave of the Starry River!

The Starry Sky entered his sight, yet it did not resemble an ordinary Starry Sky.

There was no familiar curtain of deep darkness, no fixed trajectories of Celestial Bodies. There were only countless brilliant stars densely strewn across the firmament, Illuminating the Myriad Universe!

"So this is the scenery Above the Nine Heavens?"

Li Qingshan's mind was drawn in by the Starry Sky, and his gaze unconsciously followed the starlight as it greedily swept across the heavens. Yet after merely turning his head once...

A vast, irregular region of darkness abruptly crashed into view!

It occupied a full tenth of the entire Starry Sky.

There was no light, no surging star power, not even ripples in space.

Even the torrents of starlight rushing in from all around seemed to strike an invisible barrier here, forcibly twisting, deflecting, and flowing around the void's edges, forming enormous whirlpools of star power.

It was as though this were a wound left behind
