After dealing with the matter of the God Position Xu Xingyu arrived at a secret chamber belonging to the Spirit Contract Pagoda. He was not alone here; his lover, the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, and his adopted daughter, Buyer, the Buer of the Golden Ancient Tree, were also there.

At this moment, Gu Yuena looked at Xu Xingyu with a worried expression and said, "Xingyu, are you really sure you want to choose this cultivation method? If you do this, although it may only take us a few days to come out, you don't know how much time will have passed."

Hearing this Xu Xingyu said with certainty, "Yes, at this stage, if you want me to master everything I have in the shortest amount of time, this is the fastest way. Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will always be your Xu Xingyu."

Seeing Xu Xingyu, Gu Yuena could only indifferently allow her to act.

Xu Xingyu turned to Buer and said, "I'm ready."

"Yes, Father, I'll take you to see the Star Lord right now."

After saying that Buer's original green diaphragm turned green-gold, and her original little girl figure transformed into the Xu Xingyu had seen before. Under a beam of golden light Xu Xingyu and Buer's figures disappeared into thin air.

Gu Yuena was not surprised by what she saw; she simply prayed that Xu Xingyu would not encounter any problems this time. Although Xu Xingyu would not face any life-threatening dangers in the place he was about to go, the trials he would have to undergo were extremely cruel.

When Xu Xingyu opened her eyes, she found herself in a dark space, where everything around her seemed to be nothingness.

Normally, any ordinary person entering such a dark space would be terrified, not only because of the surrounding darkness, but also because they would find their Soul Power draining away significantly in this space. Staying in such a place for a long time could potentially cause some irreversible damage.

However, Xu Xingyu was not afraid because he could feel that although his Soul Power and Spiritual Power were being greatly depleted, his Spiritual Power was not only not much stronger than Liu Shihai's.

Therefore, Xu Xingyu knew she had come to the right place and quickly called out, "Buer, are you still there?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a green-gold light appeared in the dark space, and soon Buer's figure appeared in front of Xu Xingyu and said, "Daddy, I'm here! Daddy, come with me, the person you're looking for is here."

After saying that, Buer grabbed Xu Xingyu's hand like a little girl, pulling him along while leading the way.

After an unknown amount of time, a huge sphere of light appeared in front of Xu Xingyu. Upon seeing this sphere of light Xu Xingyu could feel a sense of closeness. The moment her human bloodline saw this sphere of light, it was as if she had seen her grandmaster.

Just then, Xu Xingyu finally confirmed that the ball of light before him was the person he wanted to meet and said, "Star Lord, it's been a long time."

Upon hearing this, the ball of light began to emit bursts of light, and a thought entered Xu Xingyu's mind, "Starry Dragon Emperor, it's been a long time. I'm so glad to see you again."

That's right! The ball of light before us is the planetary consciousness of Douluo Star, also known as the Star Lord!

Every plane is home to a species, but very few can condense their own intelligence and give birth to their own consciousness like the one on Douluo Star.

The responsibility of a planetary consciousness, as the Star Lord, is to govern the balance of the natural world within its own plane, and if anything threatens the balance of the natural world of the Douluo Continent, it will take action to eliminate it in its own way.

However, to prevent themselves from going too far, each plane's consciousness creates two positions to assist them: the God Position of the Core of Life and the God Position of the Plane Master.

The former refers to the Star Lord assisting him in organizing and rationally allocating the planet's energy, while the latter refers to a representative chosen by the Star Lord from a native species he trusts. This is mainly to prevent his actions from going too far, since although the Star Lord has a long lifespan, he is not very knowledgeable about human relationships on other planes, so he needs someone to assist him in this regard.

However, the Douluo Star Lord was rather unlucky. Ten thousand years ago, after Tang San, the chosen one of destiny in the generation of Fu Zuowan, this chosen one of destiny was not satisfied with his current situation. He actually began to take advantage of his authority as the deceased to forcibly control the Star Lord and threatened him to hand over the Plane Master and the Life Core, intending to turn Douluo Continent into his exclusive garden.

Even Star Lord who is ignorant of human relationships would absolutely refuse such an impolite request. He would never relinquish his authority to someone who had been stabbed by him.

However, the Star Lord of the Douluo Continent's combat power limit is only the power of First-Level God, which is no match for God King level powerhouse like Tang San. In addition, at that time, Tang San used some means to prevent it from contacting other God King for help, so it had no choice but to obediently hand over its two major bodies.

In the end, they could only watch helplessly as Tang San handed over the Life Core God Position and the Plane Master God Position that he had originally planned to give to his parents.

These two scoundrels, after obtaining their God Position God Position, did not fulfill their duties at all. Instead, they always went to great lengths to seize a lot of power from the Star Lord, and relied on having a powerful son to do whatever they wanted. In the long run, Duluoxing will really become the Tang family's backyard.

However, ten thousand years later, because the Starry Dragon Emperor was reincarnated in the Douluo Continent, the Douluo Star Lord discovered an opportunity to free Douluo Continent from Tang San's control.

Since Xu Xingyu was reincarnated into Douluo Continent, Tang San's many schemes were foiled, ultimately leading to his imprisonment by the God Realm. The Star Lord also finally reclaimed the two god positions occupied by Tang San's parents.

The Douluo Star Lord was grateful to Buer Xu Xingyu. When he granted Buyer the Life Core God Position, he learned from Buer about the difficulties Xu Xingyu was facing in her cultivation. Therefore, in order to repay her in the future, the Star Lord planned to help her a little.

Although under normal circumstances, as the Star Lord, it shouldn't offer too much help to the native creatures as it would be unfair, it couldn't let Xu Xingyu go unrewarded after all the help she had given it.

Of course, the Star Lord's help to Xu Xingyu wasn't about infusing him with energy to quickly level up, because given Xu Xingyu's cultivation speed, such things were trivial to him, and he could handle them entirely on his own.

The only thing Xu Xingyu lacks right now is insight—the insight to understand everything she has and to integrate all her abilities into a single, unified understanding.

On Douluo Star, there is a place that is most suitable for comprehending one's own power of laws, and that is the Star Lord's original power, the Origin Primordial Realm.

The so-called Origin Primordial Realm is actually a special space within the core of the Star Lord. Here, any species can enhance its understanding by sensing the primordial power of the plane.

If one could refine the star core, that person could replace the current Star Lord and become the next Star Lord. The only problem is that the position of Star Lord requires a divine God Position that prioritizes the balance of the planet's natural environment.

Therefore, anything that could harm the planet's natural environment or life would be excluded by the Star Lord, even if the threat was native life on the planet.

This mode of action is somewhat similar to something like Gaia Consciousness that Xu Xingyu witnessed in her previous life, while the responsibility of the Plane Master under the Star Lord is more like the so-called Alaya.

Both have the ability to interfere with the unconscious consciousness of native life to achieve their goals, but their directions are different: one fights for nature, while the other fights for native creatures.

However, Xu Xingyu had no interest in the position of Star Lord. He had his own responsibilities and had no interest in taking over the position of Star Lord.

His sole purpose in coming here was to enter the Origin Primordial Realm within the star core, complete his cultivation, and address his current problem of being superficial and lacking depth.

Thinking of this, Xu Xingyu said, "So, can we begin?"

Star Lord Xu Xingyu still warned, "Lord Starry Dragon Emperor, I understand that you will regain your peak strength in the future, but you must understand that although cultivating in the Origin Primordial Realm has many benefits, the most direct way for you to gain experience is through recalling and comprehending the power of laws from my birth to the present. In this process, it is easy to lose yourself."

Buer, standing to the side, looked at Xu Xingyu with concern and said, "Why don't you take a break before entering the Origin Primordial Realm to cultivate, Dad? Or find another place to complete your cultivation tasks. I believe there are other secret realms in the Douluo Continent that can help you achieve your goals."

It's no wonder that Buer was worried about Xu Xingyu's safety. Although Buer initially recognized Xu Xingyu as her father mainly to curry favor with him, after spending so much time together, how could Buer, who had developed emotions like a human, possibly have no feelings for Xu Xingyu as her father?

It should be understood that the Golden Ancient Tree, born with the responsibility of becoming the Life Core, is a being specially created by the Star Lord. Therefore, it has no so-called parents or other ties since birth.

Every day, besides doing Plant-type Soul Beast are supposed to do—basking in the sun and absorbing water and nutrients—their only activities are endless cultivation, leading to a boring and monotonous life.

However, ever since Buer gained full late-stage spiritual intelligence with Xu Xingyu's help, her originally boring and dull life began to take on new color.

After becoming Xu Xingyu's daughter Buer didn't simply stay hidden in the Golden Ancient Tree all the time. Instead, she would occasionally go with Xu Xingyu or Gu Yuena to experience the atmosphere of the human world firsthand.

In this process, Buer gained a sense of fulfillment he had never experienced before; life was no longer a life where he had everything except for cultivation.

That's why she felt that becoming Xu Xingyu's daughter was the most correct choice she had ever made in her long life.

Therefore, Buer did not want anything to happen to Xu Xingyu, not because she would lose her leg, but because she would lose the father who had always doted on and spoiled her.

This is why Buer does not want to use the Origin Primordial Realm as a way to stabilize her cultivation, because the time in the Origin Primordial Realm is different from the time spent in the outside world.

A day outside is equivalent to a thousand or ten thousand years inside the Origin Primordial Realm. Once inside, one might go mad from the endless loneliness before emerging!

However, Xu Xingyu shook her head resolutely and said, "Indeed, there are other places in the Douluo Continent where I can quickly improve my cultivation, but my current situation is not about accelerating my cultivation speed, but about improving my understanding of the existing laws."

"To be honest, the reason I have this problem is because I didn't focus on my studies. When I was young, I should have spent all my time cultivating, since that was arguably the golden age for cultivation."

"However, in order to establish a bond for the coexistence of humans and Soul Beast Clan as quickly as possible, after successfully creating Soul Spirit with the help of Electrolux, I devoted the time that should have been spent on cultivation to the cause of building the Spirit Contract Pagoda."

"In the second round of rational thinking, I could have spent time improving my cultivation and understanding first, and then established the Spirit Contract Pagoda as a force. After all, in a place like Douluo Continent, the one with the strongest fist ultimately has the most say."

"The main reason I haven't been bothered by anyone right now is because my lover, Gu Yuena, is incredibly powerful. However, considering that Tang San is still in the Divine Realm and wants to cause me trouble, Gu Yuena's strength alone is still slightly insufficient to fight him off."

"That's why I want to seize the opportunity to improve my strength and integrate my existing abilities. Although I'm only twelve years old and haven't missed the golden age of cultivation, a person's energy is limited."

"It's almost impossible for a human to fully master all the abilities I have and will have in the future within the limited lifespan of a human being, because studying each element requires countless hours. Most humans can only comprehend two or three laws of power in their lifetime, and that's already their limit. For someone like me, who has more than nine, to completely master them is almost impossible, unless I have a lifespan like Soul Beast, in which case I could spend a lot of time slowly comprehending these laws of power."

"However, due to my contract with the Divine Realm, I don't have that time to use it, so the safest method during this period is to cultivate through the Origin Primordial Realm."

"Does it really have to be this way?" Buer looked at Xu Xingyu. Buer understood these reasons, but as Sister Xu Xi's daughter, she couldn't help but worry about Xu Xingyu's safety, because she was her most important relative.

Xu Xingyu nodded and said, "Yes, I'm prepared."

Hearing Buer could only sigh and say, "Alright, but Daddy must come back safely. Both Gu Yuena's mom and Buer are here waiting for you!"

"Okay, thank you for your understanding. Don't worry, I'll be right back."

After saying that, he turned to the Star Lord and said, "Let's begin."

"Sigh, don't blame me for not warning you." After saying that, the ball of light belonging to the Star Lord began to expand, and then in the dawn, Xu Xingyu's figure merged into the ball of light, and finally arrived at the Origin Primordial Realm he had longed for.

However, Xu Xingyu, upon arriving at the Origin Primordial Realm, showed little excitement. Instead, she immediately burst into curses, "Damn it! Star Lord, you tricked me!"
