Light Dark Star don't actually distinguish between day and night.

Because the Star Level are relatively far away, the daytime light here is only a faint reddish glow, and the light is very weak.

Needless to say, at night it's pitch black, but that's nothing to Star Level powerhouse.

Jialun sped through the streets.

Soon, they arrived at the outside of a simple house.

Here.

The call from his body grew stronger, as if something he desperately desired lay ahead of him.

He suppressed his discomfort and quietly approached, peering inside.

Upon seeing the scene inside, Jialun was stunned. There was only an elderly man with white hair in the room, sitting at a dilapidated dining table, drinking wine from a wine glass, with a broken oil lamp lit by him.

This old man... seems to be just an ordinary person...

It's not that there are no ordinary people below the Planetary Level living on Light Dark Star; it's just that the environment here is harsh, and ordinary people live a difficult life, looking incredibly Old even in their fifties or sixties.

Despite being only a teenager, Jialun is much older than most people on the planet.

"What is it that makes my summoning feel so strong?"

Jialun looked at the old man.

The old man was just an ordinary person, and he was currently drunk. If we could grab him and press him for answers, we might be able to find out the truth.

However, the thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before Jialun suppressed it.

If he did that, how would he be any different from the Red-Tailed Race?

"An ordinary old man... poses absolutely no threat to me. I can wait until he rests before I go in to search."

Jialun is waiting.

The old man inside didn't keep him waiting long. After drinking a few sips of baijiu (Chinese liquor), he slumped onto the table, completely drunk.

Jialun then slipped into the house.

The room wasn't large, only a few dozen square meters. Jialun's mental power swept through it, and he searched the entire room in one go.

No! How could there not be!

Jialun was getting anxious.

He found nothing inside the house, but his senses told him that the thing should be there.

But... why can't I find it?

Jialun searched again, afraid he might have missed something, but the moment he turned his head, he felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead, and a sense of horror filled his entire body.

The white-haired old man who had been drunk moments before now sat up straight and stared directly at him.

However, his mental energy was completely unaware of it.

"You..."

Jialun's voice trembled slightly.

I felt a bit scared, and also a bit embarrassed, like being caught red-handed stealing.

What are you looking for?

Old voice rang out.

Jialun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the other party's voice. He was genuinely afraid he had encountered something terrifying, as terrifying legends often circulated on the Light Dark Star.

Although he doesn't usually believe in these things, not believing doesn't mean he's not afraid. Just like someone who's afraid of snakes will stay far away even if they know it's a non-venomous snake.

He is, after all, just a child over a hundred years old.

"What I'm looking for, sir, you should know."

Jialun answered cautiously.

"Oh, so it sensed the summons..." The old man raised his hand, and a blood-red bead floated in his palm.

Look at this blood-red bead.

Jialun's eyes widened. Although he didn't know what it was, he was certain that it was something extremely important to him.

"It should be this, but I can't give it to you." Lu Qingshan shook his head.

Jialun suppressed his desire and said, "This thing must be extremely precious; Jialun dares not even dream of it."

"Your name is Jialun? Not bad. You managed to restrain your desires and not try to rob me when you saw an old man like me who couldn't even kill a chicken. That shows that you still have a bit of kindness in your heart. You've passed my test."

Lu Qingshan chuckled.

"Although I will not bestow this treasure upon you, I can offer you an opportunity to become my disciple. As my disciple, you will gain a precious opportunity to immediately enhance your strength. You seem to have encountered some trouble, but after becoming my disciple, all troubles will cease to be troubles."

After saying that, he looked at the other person with a smile.

"My lord, after obtaining that opportunity, what level will I be able to advance to?"

Jialun asked cautiously.

He was merely Star Level being with limited vision, unaware of the true nature of the old man before him.

What level do you want to advance to?

Lu Qingshan countered with a question.

"If I can break through to the Universe Level, I am willing to become your disciple and serve you by your side forever," Jialun said cautiously.

" Universe Level, that's a bit low... Don't worry, after you obtain that precious opportunity, your strength will definitely be stronger than Universe Level. Are you relieved now?"

Upon hearing this, Jialun did not hesitate any longer, immediately kneeling on the ground and saying, "Disciple Jialun greets Master."

"Alright, since you've accepted me as your master, then I'll bestow this opportunity upon you."

Jialun raised his head.

A beam of red light burst forth from the blood-red orb, quickly enveloping him completely.

Comfortable...

This feels so good!

As the crimson energy seeped into his body, Jialun felt an unparalleled sense of comfort in every cell.

At the same time, his body quietly underwent changes.

His skin, already quite fair due to lack of sunlight, became even whiter, and fine white hairs grew out of his body.

A green light appeared in his originally black pupils.

My head is very itchy, it feels like horns are growing.

The process was so comfortable that all the changes were completed silently.

After a long while, the sensation in my body gradually faded away.

Only then was Jialun able to control his body.

"My power."

Jialun was stunned.

He could clearly feel the explosive power within his body, as if a casual punch could destroy everything.

This power is on a completely different level compared to before.

I've broken through to the Universe Level?

No!

no!

A purple light appeared; this was a domain...

Jialun naturally knew what a domain was; it was an ability that one had to master to become Domain Lord Level. Possessing a domain meant having the opportunity to become Domain Lord, which was the realm of the Light Dark Star Lord.

"Teacher... what's wrong with me...?"

Jialun looked in the direction of his teacher, his mind filled with countless questions.

He couldn't even comprehend his current level of strength!

"I have activated the hidden power of your bloodline. You have now become a different kind of life. Take a look at yourself."

Jialun was startled. He sensed the change in himself, but didn't know what it was like... He turned to look at the window, where his reflection was blurred.

Jialun was shocked; he hadn't expected to become so ugly.

It has a dark brown horn on its head, with mysterious patterns on it. Its body has grown much taller, probably more than three meters tall, and its entire body is covered with very short white down.

In particular, those eyes were glowing with a green light, which looked terrifying.

The Prison Race Territory is vast, teeming with all sorts of strange and wonderful life forms, yet he has never seen anything like himself.

What have I transformed into?

Jialun didn't care about changing his appearance or becoming ugly. As long as his mother and sister still recognized him, it didn't matter. Only strength was the most important thing.

" The One-Horned Ghost King an extremely rare Special Lifeform in the Primal Universe, with Gene Level 50 times higher. You should be able to sense that you possess some special abilities. You should change your appearance; if you go out like this, you'll soon be captured and possessed..."

"Possession!"

Jialun's expression changed slightly. He knew what possession meant, of course. In the Prison Race Territory, some geniuses without strong backing could easily be possessed.

Especially those races with special talents and abilities have a very high probability of being possessed.

50 times the Gene Level... Although Jialun couldn't comprehend it, he understood that it was incredibly exaggerated.

He carefully observed the changes in his body and discovered that he possessed an innate ability to disguise himself.

Soon, his body shrank considerably, and the single horn on his head retracted, returning him to his previous form as Jialun, though subtle changes were still visible.

After all, he had just activated his bloodline and was not yet proficient in many abilities.

"Your current level is roughly at the Domain Lord Level, and the energy within you is also at the Domain Lord Level Domain Lord Level, but 50 times stronger than the Gene Level. Logically speaking, an ordinary Domain Lord shouldn't be a match for you, but you can't be careless... because you can't unleash your full power right now; you'd be lucky to get even a tenth of it."

"I also have some secret techniques here, all core inheritances of the One-Horned Ghost King clan. You must not lose them... These can help you quickly increase your strength, and perhaps in the near future, you can become Immortal God."

As he spoke, Lu Qingshan took out a World Ring.

" Immortal God!"

Jialun reached out and took the ring, his heart filled with disbelief.

Immortal God... The strongest being in the entire Red-Tailed Tribe is Immortal God.

The Red-Tailed Tribe possesses countless planets as their territories, and their Light Dark Star is just one of them.

"The storage space I gave you is a World Ring; living people can survive inside it... Alright, it's been three days; it's time for you to leave."

"Remember, never reveal your identity One-Horned Ghost King before becoming Immortal God."

After giving a final reminder, Lu Qingshan waved his hand, extinguishing the oil lamp, and his figure disappeared into the room.

Three days!

Jialun was startled by these words and immediately ran home. The young lady of the Red-Tailed Race had only given him three days; if she found him missing after three days, then...

"You have granted your disciple Jialun the opportunity to ' Bloodline Activation,' receiving a hundredfold return; you have also achieved Bloodline Evolution."

After Jialun left, Lu Qingshan returned to the Xue You Palace in the starry sky.

He never expected that being granted the opportunity to ' Bloodline Activation ' would also bring him a cashback, albeit only a hundredfold.

After all, when he took on his disciple, Jialun was only Third-Class Genius, and even at the Star Level, he hadn't mastered the domain yet.

After using the only chance he had with the Heart of Netherworld, Jialun evolved into Second-Class Genius, and the return on his investment remained the same as before, so it was a hundredfold. However, the secret technique he bestowed upon the opponent by the One-Horned Ghost King clan was still on cooldown and did not yield any return.

"I wonder to what extent this Bloodline Evolution can reach?"

Lu Qingshan narrowed his eyes slightly.

A crimson light quietly emerged, enveloping his divine body like a crimson silkworm cocoon.

During this process, Lu Qingshan could clearly feel the changes in his body.

The innate Origin Law and secret patterns seem to be even more perfect now.

Having mastered the complete Time Origin Law, Lu Qingshan could naturally see the changes in his Innate Secret Technique.

The secret runes that originally belonged to Time Acceleration underwent some strange changes during his Bloodline Evolution, appearing even more perfect and flawless, just like the complete Time Secret Pattern Diagram that appeared after he comprehended the Time Law.

The change of Time Acceleration is only one aspect; more importantly, it is the change of the ultimate secret technique of the One-Horned Ghost King, the Time Reincarnation!
