Chapter 1385: Perfect Acting

Star Lord?

Hearing this self-proclaimed title, could it be that this person is the master of the entire Cloud Star?

Having guarded Cloud Star for so long, they had never heard of such an existence. Not even ancient texts seemed to contain a single mention of it.

Although they had witnessed the divine and miraculous power of the giant beast that could alter the heavens and the earth, the group still couldn't immediately believe it.

For a moment.

An indescribable sense of shock and awe swept over them. Luo Hongfei and the others exchanged glances, all too stunned to utter a word, their faces filled with disbelief.

The scene suddenly became eerily quiet, yet the overwhelming pressure continued to bear down on them!

Everyone was caught in a state of immense shock, not daring to move a muscle, let alone speak out of turn.

Only the figure in the air spoke slowly, his tone impossible to read.

"Since you are cultivators of my Cloud Star, why do you not bow before me?"

Even though his words were soft, they carried a terrifying authority, as if his words could command the heavens and the earth. The overwhelming pressure surged forth!

In an instant.

Everyone felt their shoulders sink, their feet sinking more than a foot into the sand!

Faced with such a fearsome presence, the ancient sage Luo Hongfei could only grit his teeth, clasp his fists, and cautiously speak up to test the waters.

"Senior, please forgive us..."

"Although we have guarded the desolate wastelands for a long time and have traveled across Cloud Star for thousands of years, we have never heard of the title 'Star Lord.' Our ignorance is profound, and we humbly ask for your understanding..."

In the air.

Long Tian looked down calmly at the group as they paid their respects, not at all surprised by their words. Instead, he felt a hint of appreciation for Luo Hongfei's caution.

With a slight smile, he spoke the lines he had prepared long ago.

"Hmm, not bad."

"Ignorance is no crime, so there's no need to panic. Although your cultivation is weak, you have guarded the vulnerable parts of Cloud Star, which shows your righteous hearts. It seems that Cloud Star still has some legacy left in you, and I am quite pleased."

"The space of the desolate wasteland has been completely sealed by me, ensuring its safety for the next hundred thousand years. You no longer need to exhaust yourselves guarding it."

"Having secluded myself until now, I have finally recovered my cultivation and emerged. From now on, I will take on the responsibility of guarding Cloud Star."

Whoosh!

Luo Hongfei and the others looked up at these words, their shock deepening.

They could sense the changes that had occurred earlier, but they never expected that this person had completely sealed the void, ensuring safety for a hundred thousand years!

Such power was truly terrifying!

Even more admirable was the sense of responsibility and righteousness displayed by this senior!

Observing his words and actions, the group's doubts began to fade, replaced by a sense of relief and joy at having such a powerful ally. They couldn't help but feel fortunate for the people of Cloud Star.

Despite their joy.

Luo Hongfei's expression remained calm. After all, he was a seasoned veteran with vast experience. He couldn't simply take someone at their word, nor could he fully believe the claims of this so-called Star Lord.

While expressing his gratitude, he continued to probe subtly.

"Thank you, Senior, for your righteous assistance. We are deeply grateful!"

"However, if you truly are the Lord of Cloud Star, it's hard for us to imagine what kind of existence could have forced you into seclusion until now..."

Hearing this, Fu Nantian and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with doubt.

In the air, Long Tian's eyes showed even more appreciation, and he feigned a sigh as he spoke.

"The sea of stars is vast, far beyond your understanding."

As he spoke, Long Tian pointed a finger downward.

Instantly, the group felt their bodies immobilized, as weak and helpless as ants. Even their spiritual senses were sealed, causing them to panic and break out in cold sweat!

In the next moment.

The surrounding desert was gone, replaced by a sea of stars!

The panicked group looked around in shock, only to see the dazzling Stellar Corridor of the past, causing them to tremble and gasp!

"Ah...!"

"We're actually in the starry sky now?"

"To traverse space in an instant—what kind of power is this?!"

Luo Hongfei and the others were also at the Saint Realm, yet they had been transported into the starry sea with just a finger. They hadn't even had a chance to resist, nor any time to react. This was truly terrifying!

In an instant.

A sense of insignificance, never felt before, spread through everyone's hearts.

Once again, they quietly gazed at the distant figure in white, their eyes filled with even deeper reverence!

Even if they couldn't confirm his identity, this terrifying level of cultivation far exceeded their understanding. That Cloud Star had such a senior was truly astonishing!

Luo Hongfei felt his own shallowness and ignorance, not daring to utter another word.

The group silently watched, their hearts filled with endless waves of emotion.

The figure in white gazed at the Stellar Corridor, a hint of nostalgia on his face, his tone growing even more somber.

"Ten thousand years..."

"To think that it has been ten thousand years since I last saw the Stellar Corridor."

"Time has passed, and everything has changed."

"Cloud Star was once a Realm Star, ruling over this galaxy and governing numerous planets. Who could have imagined it would decline to this state, even losing the stellar power of the Stellar Corridor."

"Ah..."

A soft sigh, filled with the weight of countless years.

Though his words seemed casual, they revealed earth-shattering secrets, causing the group behind him to tremble, their understanding of the world repeatedly overturned!

A Realm Star?

Stellar power?

These were terms they had never heard before, shaking their very souls.

Even more shocking was the revelation that Cloud Star had once ruled over other planets. What a glorious past that must have been!

Just as they were reeling from this revelation.

Long Tian's hands moved in a complex series of seals, gathering profound and mysterious cultivation power. Starlight continuously gathered in his palms as he struck out toward the Stellar Corridor!

"Boom!"

The terrifying starlight surged into the corridor like a river, causing the already radiant path to glow even brighter, as if bathed in a dense moonlight that washed away countless remnants of meteors and souls!

In the blink of an eye.

The Stellar Corridor was restored to its former glory, radiating pure starlight that extended into the endless sea of stars, exuding an aura of sacred inviolability!

At this moment.

Even those who had guarded it for countless years were left trembling, Luo Hongfei himself visibly moved, his eyes filled with overwhelming awe!

"This!"

"Is this the true form of the Stellar Corridor?"

"Our Cloud Star was truly once so glorious?!"

Exclamations of shock and trembling voices filled the air!

This reaction brought a hint of triumph to Long Tian's eyes. Even though the effort had drained him, causing beads of sweat to form on his forehead, he didn't care in the slightest.

Slowly turning around, he spoke with a look of expectation on his face.

"Cloud Star was once the ruler of this galaxy, standing proudly in the sea of stars for countless ages. Although it fell into misfortune and declined, many of its secrets are not yet for you to know. But you must remember the pride of being a cultivator of Cloud Star!"

"From this day forward, I will restore Cloud Star to its former glory. I hope you will assist me in this endeavor, without hesitation!"

As he spoke, Long Tian waved his sleeve.

Several streams of light scattered, and long-prepared human treasures landed in their hands. The terrifying aura emanating from them caused the group's hands to tremble, their faces filled with the joy of receiving such a great opportunity!

After witnessing such divine acts and righteous deeds, and now receiving such generous gifts...

At this moment.

Seeing the sweat on Long Tian's forehead and the expectant smile on his face, even the usually composed Luo Hongfei was deeply moved, touched by the senior's sincere efforts.

The group bowed in unison, their eyes filled with excitement!

"We will follow the orders of the Star Lord!"

"To restore Cloud Star's glory, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Watching the bowing group.

Although Long Tian felt a pang of loss, he knew that sometimes you had to sacrifice to gain.

Having successfully completed the first step of his plan, a glint of satisfaction flashed in Long Tian's eyes, a smile of control curling at the corners of his lips.

With his perfect acting, manipulating a small place like Cloud Star was no problem at all!
