Lu Qingshan admired Herrera's decisiveness.

If he dies here.

To prevent the Herrera Family from being silenced by the next powerful individual to discover this place, the news was spread directly...

In this way, even if the Immortal God arrive, the news will have already spread, rendering the annihilation of their family meaningless.

After all, apart from him, the strongest member of the entire Herrera family was merely a Domain Lord, and had no ability to obtain the secrets of this place.

Keeping this secret is pointless.

However, Herrera overestimated his family's ability to keep secrets. In just a few hundred years... even an outsider like ' An Cong ' had guessed that the Herrera Family had a secret, so how could others not know?

However, because he hadn't reached a higher level, and because the Herrera Family itself had a certain degree of influence, he was able to conduct his research peacefully for hundreds of years.

"I promise you, let's go!"

The Ghost King Avatar spoke coldly.

"Okay, you can just follow me."

Herrera, groped his way forward.

Lu Qingshan followed closely behind him, and released a mental force far exceeding Herrera's to survey the surroundings.

Although his initial assessment indicated that the fog posed no real danger and only served to confuse the enemy, he remained cautious nonetheless.

The two of them went about six months apart, one after the other.

Finally, after passing through the thickest fog, the view ahead suddenly opened up... and visibility became clear...

Herrera gazed at the labyrinth of stars in the distance and said, "This is my third time here. Even ordinary World Lord would have difficulty navigating the previous misty areas... they would likely get lost within them..."

Lu Qingshan nodded without refuting.

After he ventured deeper into the fog, Nasus sent him a notification that the previously recorded coordinates had changed.

In other words, the route he memorized was completely useless.

If one's mental strength is not strong enough to record the changes in the surrounding fog, it is very likely that one will not be able to reach this place and will get lost... Keep in mind that it takes at least half a year to travel from the wormhole to here... Once lost... it will be difficult to get out.

Lu Qingshan then thought of his brother-in-law, Kerry. That guy really was a chosen one; he actually walked out of the mist. He really didn't know how he did it. Perhaps he had just been lingering on the edge of the entrance for decades, stumbling upon the way out by chance...

Herrera put some distance between herself and Lu Qingshan, pointing ahead and saying, "Passing through the misty area is only the first hurdle. The second hurdle is solving these 108 Star Labyrinth; otherwise, we can't get through here... I'm stuck here!"

Herrera's eyes were filled with deep regret. If he hadn't been stuck at this hurdle, he wouldn't have had to wait so long; he would have already obtained the treasure inside.

Now that he has been discovered by this mysterious powerful figure, he is no longer in control of his own destiny. Not to mention the treasure, he may not even be able to protect himself.

Lu Qingshan looked ahead...

One hundred and eight stars are arranged irregularly, and each star exudes the aura of the essence of the Time Law.

He glanced at Herrera and said with a faint smile, "It would be truly remarkable if you could solve this maze."

"What's the meaning?"

Herrera frowned slightly.

"These 108 Star Labyrinth involve 108 essential aspects of the Time Origin Law. Without an extremely strong understanding of the Time Origin Law, it would be impossible to unravel these 108 star-arranged mazes."

"What! It's actually the Time Origin Law..." A look of shock flashed across Herrera's face.

He was just an Ordinary World Lord had comprehended the Earth Origin Law, and he hadn't even been Origin Law Recognition. Asking him to decipher the labyrinth of the Time Origin Law was simply too much of a challenge.

"It seems this place is destined to be forever out of reach for Herrera."

Herrera was bitter.

Centuries of effort had come to naught, and he was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

He looked at Lu Qingshan.

Suddenly, they discovered that the other party had arrived in front of that star system, and one of the 108 stars began to move slowly.

"He's actually a World Lord who has mastered the Time Origin Law... No wonder I was no match for him!"

Herrera was shocked.

Although he did not understand the Time Origin Law, he could sense the astonishing power emanating from the star.

If I were to get too close, and the power of the stars were activated, I would probably be crushed into dust by that star power.

"Luckily, I didn't act rashly before, otherwise, if I had triggered these changes on the star, I would probably have died instantly."

Seeing the movements of the Ghost King Avatar, a glimmer of hope reappeared in Herrera's eyes.

Perhaps... perhaps this mysterious and powerful figure will die here, perhaps he will die here after he unravels this Star Labyrinth!

He prayed silently, daydreaming. His gaze, however, was fixed on the 108 stars in motion. He dared not run away, for he could sense a powerful spiritual force descending upon him from the expert who was solving the puzzle.

Staying might offer a sliver of hope, while fleeing would likely result in being instantly killed by that person.

Lu Qingshan's movements became faster and faster... The stars constantly shifted, moving in his hands like chess pieces...

"No, just a little bit more... just a little bit more..."

"To easily solve this Star Labyrinth, one must completely grasp the Time Essence, and I'm still just a little bit short... but being a little short doesn't mean there's no hope!"

Lu Qingshan roughly understood the mechanism here. The first test was to screen people with poor mental strength or bad luck, and the second test was to screen people who had mastered the Time Origin Law.

As for whether there are other challenges later, Lu Qingshan didn't know, but he could tell from this that the secret here must be closely related to the Time Origin Law.

Those who follow the path of analyzing the Time Origin Law have a significant advantage here; others are essentially out of luck when it comes to the treasures here.

"No rush, take your time. I'm just a little bit away. I just need to try a few more times and I should be able to succeed."

At this moment, in a luxurious hall on Bella Planet, the core of the Kabel Starfield.

A powerful World Lord with golden light gleaming between his brows flew into the main hall and respectfully bowed to the figure seated on the throne above the palace.

"Homage to the great Immortal God."

" Rhea, has the Herrera Family made any unusual moves?"

The giant on the throne above the main hall opened his eyes, his gaze like a flowing galaxy...

The World Lord named Rhea spoke up, "Just now, a fleet of the Herrera Family was attacked and completely wiped out... The Herrera World Lord has also disappeared. Our informant within the Herrera Family reported that they can't contact Herrera; he's probably gone to that mysterious place again..."

"That Herrera is incredibly foolish. He actually thinks his family can keep secrets, but he doesn't know... the reason the news hasn't leaked out is because I helped cover it up... This Herrera Family has offended someone else again. It seems there's no need for this family to exist!"

"Lord Kabel, with just one word from you, the Herrera Family can be wiped out!"

"No rush. Herrera might have some tricks up his sleeve. Let's not alert him yet. Let's wait for Mr. De'en to arrive. Perhaps only Mr. De'en has the ability to unlock the secrets of that place..."

The Immortal God on the throne spoke softly.

"Um."

He seemed to have discovered something, and his face lit up with joy.

"Mr. De'en has arrived..."
