In the center of the Continent of Stars, a sun radiating dazzling light hangs in the sky, with countless Star Vein extending from all directions, forming an interconnected network.
Inside the sun, countless runes intertwine, emanating all sorts of auras: earth, fire, water, wind, sun, moon, stars, Space-Time, cause and effect—everything is there. Every now and then, a rune flashes by, following the Star Vein Network, entering the body of a Star Soldier, Star Envoy, or even a Star God, thus forming new Rune Cultist.
Logo sat cross-legged at the core of the Rune Sun, carefully maintaining the operation of this nascent Transcendent system, while simultaneously feeling the terrifying authority he possessed within this system as the "Ancestor of Pathfinding," or "Creator of the System."
In the blink of an eye, Logo could see all the members of the entire Rune Cult, seeing them either meditating, contemplating nature, or using their newfound power to fight against others...
These scenes flashed through Logo's mind clearly and smoothly; he could even feel the emotions of the people in the scenes and the changes in their thoughts.
In addition, as the Rune Sun shines, Logo's mana spreads wider and wider, gradually permeating the Ether Power and coexisting with the Power of End. Although its total amount is still far behind the Power of End, in essence, the two are already on the same track.
The implications are self-evident.
Often, the hardship is the least of our worries; the real obstacle is not finding the right direction.
As the "Rune Power," or Logo's mana, permeates the natural elements, Logo's perception circle expands accordingly, encompassing everything from Rune Cultist to mountains and rivers, as clearly as the lines on the palm of one's hand.
This feeling was as if he had transformed into the Plane Will, as if he had become the master of heaven and earth, omnipotent.
"Is this the power of a ' Pathfinder '? What's the difference between the Pathfinder possessed by those who created Transcendent systems and mine? Is it just a difference in magnitude?"
Logo's mind was filled with countless thoughts, and many of the speculations that had existed deep within him finally became clear at this moment.
What you learn from books is never enough; you must put it into practice to truly understand. Only by becoming a true "Pathfinder" can you realize how terrifying this phenomenon is.
It's not just about perception and observation. With a thought, Logo can master the "rune spells" created by his "disciples and grand-disciples" and use them without spending time cultivating. He can reach the peak level with simple analysis and deduction.
Furthermore, with just a thought, he could extract the "Rune Power" from all Rune Cultist to aid his own growth.
For Rune Cultist have lost "Rune Power," they can be compared to knights who have lost "Dou Qi" or spellcasters who have lost "Magical Energy." The severing of their path is secondary; the drop in their life rank is the real fatal blow.
In other words, Logo alone could break the backbone of the "Rune System".
He was able to do this because of his role as a "Pathfinder".
So, can other "Pathfinder" do the same?
The answer is yes!
Realizing this, Logo felt a chill run down his spine. He realized a question: just how many "Pathfinder" were there in the Astral Realm?
Are these old relics still alive?
If they were alive, what would they be doing?
If they encounter a bottleneck in their cultivation, will they draw upon the power of the Transcendent system they created?
"The Pathfinder, the ancients, the powerful—truly awe-inspiring and terrifying..."
Logo muttered to himself, a look of melancholy on his face. The more he cultivated, the wider the world he came into contact with, and the more he understood his own insignificance.
Suppressing his turbulent emotions, Logo continued to maintain the operation of the Rune System while relentlessly purifying the "Web of Time" bloodline.
Without the obstruction of the "Space-Devouring Ring" bloodline, the purification process proceeded smoothly.
One day, the surface of Logo's body, which was surrounded by countless runes, suddenly shone with a deep and mysterious light. These lights combined together and enveloped him like flowing water.
Different 'flows' have different speeds, representing differences in the flow of time. The boundary zones even form time differences, which are a kind of imbalance caused by the intersection of time. They may seem insignificant, but their destructive power is astonishing, and they can be used as one of the main attack methods of the Way of Time.
"It's finally done!"
The long, pleasant voice spread through the Rune Sun, and wherever it passed, star-like runes flickered endlessly, as if stars were being born and dying.
After adjusting his mindset and stabilizing his emotions, Logo quickly purchased a sufficient number of "Revival Badge" and used them simultaneously.
Now that the "Web of Time" bloodline has been purified, it is time to merge it with the "Space-Devouring Ring" to achieve the "Space-Time Emperor Blood".
Splash!
Time flows on like surging tides, and space fluctuates like spreading sound waves.
As the power of the "Bloodline Avatar" was fully awakened, the two perfect bloodlines collided with a thunderous roar.
Buzz~
In the void, light appeared and disappeared intermittently. Time and space, two forces, collided and merged. As soon as the Bloodline Barrier appeared, it was destroyed by strands of "Space-Time Power".
As more and more "Space-Time Power" settled deep within his bloodline, giving rise to bloodline patterns, Logo also took the opportunity to mobilize the power of the "Rune Sun" and condense an enormous "Eye of Omniscience".
The Space-Time Power descended and fell into the Eye of Omniscience. After the two merged, a hazy gray eye appeared before Logo and merged into the space between his eyebrows.
' Eye of Space-Time!'
Logo looked up, Eye of Space-Time shot out a mysterious and unpredictable gaze, piercing straight into the core of the Star God Realm.
Soon, Logo sensed an ancient aura that had stood the test of time. With the help of this desolate aura, Logo's will acted like a key, unlocking a long-sealed door to history.
Boom!
It was as if thunder had exploded before him, and the magnificent aura that burst forth in an instant stirred many ripples in Logo's calm mind.
The next second, as the inexplicable aura dissipated, a mighty river, its width and length unknown, appeared before Logo's eyes.
"Is this... the River of Space-Time in the Star God Realm...?"
Gazing at the scene unfolding before him, Logo rarely showed such a look of dazzle and fascination.
