I Am Unaware That I Am the Peerless Martial God Chapter 1380: The Strongest from the Start

Upon hearing Yi Feng's inquiry, Gu Daofang shook his hands vigorously in denial.

"Senior, you've got the wrong idea, you've got the wrong idea..."

"How would this junior ever dare to entertain such bold notions?"

"The power of that black shadow is exceptional, and its background remains a mystery. Charging into battle against it would be far from prudent. This junior has boldly come to request a favor, merely hoping Senior will pass on a message and notify the Realm Star about this incident."

"The Realm Star governs numerous subordinate stars, Yuan Star among them. It boasts endless powerhouses and formidable beings. Should the Realm Star become aware, they will undoubtedly dispatch someone to probe and resolve the issue."

"Lately, potent auras have surged across Yuan Star. This junior must remain here to guard and probe further, unable to depart for extended periods. After much deliberation, I had no choice but to impudently ask Senior to convey the message. This task poses no danger and should pose no trouble for Senior. I only implore Senior to show mercy to the countless lives on Yuan Star and grant this plea."

"This junior, Gu Daofang, expresses gratitude to Senior on behalf of all on Yuan Star!"

Following this earnest account, the long-bearded middle-aged man rose once more, lowered his head, and clasped his fists in salute.

Yi Feng, however, regarded him with puzzled eyes and offered no instant consent.

"Since it's merely passing a message, it's naturally simple enough. But why must it be me? Even if you can't abandon Yuan Star, why not dispatch another?"

His words barely ended when Gu Daofang lifted his gaze gradually and let out a sigh.

"Alas."

"Senior, there's something you're unaware of. This junior did attempt to dispatch messengers, even enlisting several powerhouses for the journey. Yet none succeeded. Previous envoys vanished without trace just beyond Yuan Star's borders."

"We suspect those hidden mysterious forces are to blame. Without immense power, breaking their barriers proves impossible. Delivering the message has become a feat beyond ordinary capabilities."

"In utter desperation, this junior turned to you. I rallied every resource to search and barely located Hai Star, stirring up this fuss."

"I beg Senior's pardon for the intrusion..."

Having absorbed the full story, Yi Feng lifted his teacup leisurely, remaining silent.

His composed features stayed unchanged. His starry gaze emitted a subtle glow. Though no anomalies marked his form, he appeared profoundly inscrutable.

Confronting such a being.

Though anxiety gnawed at Gu Daofang's heart, he dared not reveal it. He could only beseech subtly, outlining the noble reasons and dire implications.

"Senior..."

"This affair holds immense gravity. Should those enigmatic auras turn hostile, the fallout defies prediction. The repercussions could spell utter catastrophe for the world."

"Your cultivation touches the heavens. No one this junior has encountered rivals you. Only you can fulfill this duty. A powerhouse like yourself must not allow the world's masses to plunge into mortal danger. Please, Senior, show compassion for Yuan Star!"

"Should the message reach its mark, this junior and all on Yuan Star vow to repay you, even at the cost of our lives!"

Gu Daofang bowed profoundly, radiating utter devotion.

At that instant.

The lofty title of Yuan Star's lord lay forgotten. His heart and soul brimmed solely with concern for every living soul. He now saw this enigmatic expert, Yi Feng, as his sole salvation.

Amid these fervent appeals, Yi Feng lost interest in his tea, his face growing solemn.

He observed quietly for an extended moment, mind whirling...

The phrase 'common people of the world' weighed heavily. Never had he pondered bearing such a colossal burden, nor grasped much about his own power level.

Through recent events, Yi Feng had started to comprehend.

In truth, he possessed great strength.

The death-seeking quest was little more than farce. Likely no entity in this realm endangered his existence. If any threat loomed, it might be solely the apocalyptic great tribulation once foretold by the system.

Learning of Yuan Star's oddities now, coupled with warnings of world-ending doom, stirred doubt in Yi Feng.

Might this signal some portent?

Indicating a true impending calamity.

Or perhaps a link existed between them?

The lingering unease in his depths resurfaced, bringing faint pressure. Though he'd forsaken the death mission and embraced idleness, the notion of worldly annihilation unsettled him.

In this era.

Achieving immortality via that fabled tribulation seemed unattainable. Yet shifting focus to mitigate the disaster's toll through his efforts might yet succeed.

At minimum, he couldn't idly await doom. Unsure of ties between these events, he ought to strive regardless.

With this resolve, Yi Feng met his gaze and responded.

"Very well, I agree."

These words ignited joy in Gu Daofang.

"Thank you, Senior!"

"We shall engrave Senior's benevolence and virtue eternally!"

Before completing his gratitude, Yi Feng posed anew.

"Delivering the message poses no issue, but where exactly is this Realm Star you speak of?"

This query left Gu Daofang momentarily dazed, astonishment flashing in his eyes.

"Senior, you truly don't know the Realm Star's location?"

He struggled to accept it. A master like Senior Yi Feng ought to hold ties to the Realm Star. Ignorance of its position seemed absurd.

Perhaps this Senior hailed not from the Realm Star?

Observing the bearded man's widened eyes, Yi Feng nodded stoically.

"I genuinely don't."

Gu Daofang's eyes bulged wider. After several breaths, he tentatively clasped fists and answered.

"Uh..."

"Well, it makes sense Senior might not know the Realm Star's position. Our star domain's Realm Star is rather unique. Only its lords and select subordinate star masters know its whereabouts."

Unique?

Yi Feng awaited curiously without a word, as a gentle voice already flowed forth.

"To be frank, our star system's Realm Star is Yun Star, situated remotely at the star domain's edge..."

Yun Star?!

Yi Feng's eyes abruptly widened.

Noting the shock and disbelief, Gu Daofang showed no surprise and pressed on with a soft smile.

"Senior, it appears you indeed knew nothing of this. Shocked, aren't you? When this junior first learned, my astonishment dwarfed yours a hundredfold."

"It's utterly inconceivable. Even if outer star lords heard, they'd scarcely credit it. The Realm Star commanding countless worlds is the overlooked Yun Star. That apparent wasteland at the fringe stands as our star domain's core..."

Gu Daofang's explanation flowed on, yet Yi Feng heard no more.

In this instant.

He sat dazed at the stone table, surges of disbelief roiling within. No way could he accept that his humble origin, Yun Star, was the fabled Realm Star!

His birthplace served as this star domain's heart?

He'd dwelled in the mightiest realm from the start?

Impossible!

Suddenly, his world inverted, shattering all prior beliefs.

Torrents of shock and skepticism overwhelmed him, plunging Yi Feng into profound doubt over his very existence.
