Baroque received shocking news from rival commander Di Qi: all four guardians of Blue Star have been eliminated, unreachable amid a rebellion. Skeptical yet enticed by the chance for top contributions in the impending punitive cleanse, Baroque agreed to team up with Di Qi via contract. In the Star Lord's palace, over a hundred army corps commanders discussed the uprising by Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall from Blue Star's Four Domains.

"Have all the Star Pirates at half-step Divine Fusion Realm been seized? Has a cosmic prodigy appeared?"

"Looks like it. The Star Lord is furious this time over the Blue Star incident. Word is, even the chief warden of the third-class breeding planet and a frontline general got summoned back to lead a personal assault on Blue Star."

...

Leaders of the legions inside the hall dove into a discussion growing more heated by the moment.

Prison Dragon Star hadn’t seen mobilization this massive in a hundred years. Both the chief warden of the third-class breeding planet and the frontline general stood as genuine half-step Divine Fusion Realm powerhouses. Combined with the top legion leader, that made three half-step Divine Fusion Realm experts in total.

Led personally by the Star Lord, this lineup rivaled launching a minor warfront against the Holy Hall.

As discussions buzzed among the crowd, the doors to the hall burst open abruptly. A towering middle-aged man exceeding twenty meters in height, his body covered in rock-like skin from top to bottom, strode in accompanied by three others, instantly seizing all eyes and silencing the chamber.

"Why’s Gus Ang trailing the Star Lord?" With a sidelong glance, Baroque spotted a recognizable face, his mind swirling with bewilderment and uncertainty as he fixed his gaze on the Star Lord.

Of the trio shadowing the Star Lord, two consisted of the chief warden of the third-class breeding planet and the frontline general. Yet the third turned out to be Gus Ang, holding the 37th spot among Prison Dragon Star’s legion leaders.

Baroque wasn’t alone in his profound bafflement; the assembled legion leaders gaped in astonishment, struggling to grasp how a 37th-ranked figure like Gus Ang could position himself beside the chief warden and frontline general.

Shock rippled through the room only when Gus Ang claimed the seat nearest the Star Lord, mirroring the spot of the current number one legion leader.

Without the Star Lord there, the legion leaders would surely have lashed out at Gus Ang, deeming it suicidal for a mere 37th-ranked leader to presume sitting beside the Star Lord.

As if reading their thoughts, Star Lord Bokas spoke gently, "Gus Ang has advanced to half-step Divine Fusion Realm. Starting today, Gus Ang serves as my primary adjutant."

Star Lord Bokas’s words left the legion leaders—Baroque most of all—in utter disbelief, jaws dropping wide. None had imagined the overlooked Gus Ang would transform into a forbidden powerhouse overnight, a turn that sent them into a frenzy of frustration.

"What’s bothering you, Baroque?" Di Qi inquired, spotting the gloom on Baroque’s face.

Gus Ang’s breakthrough to half-step Divine Fusion Realm came as a shock, true, but hardly grounds for hopelessness. At their stage, a single flash of insight could propel any of them into half-step Divine Fusion Realm.

"Nothing at all. Let’s push forward with the Blue Star plans," Baroque answered with a head shake. "Gus Ang’s aware of the details on the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall too."

"He knows as well?" Di Qi’s face hardened at the revelation.

They’d planned to casually handle the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall folks first, yet Gus Ang’s half-step Divine Fusion Realm status now promised major headaches.

As legion leaders whispered among themselves, Star Lord Bokas boomed out, "Report the Blue Star’s exact status now. After confirmation, head back to ready yourselves. Tomorrow, the full army marches on Blue Star to let those primitives witness the Imperial Country’s overwhelming power!"

Legion leaders then briefed Star Lord Bokas on their collected intel. Bokas’s decision to lead the charge on Blue Star raced across planets and groups in the Divine Woman Star System, stunning all. Nobody foresaw a puny fourth-class breeding planet’s uprising forcing the famous Bokas into action firsthand—consensus held that this planet faced utter doom.

Divine Woman Star System, Holy Wood Star.

Within a picturesque garden on the main city’s edge, everyone who fled from Blue Star had assembled.

"This serves as your temporary home. Come six months, it gets reclaimed. Should you want to stay on, expect to shell out 500,000 Alliance Coins monthly. In the city, a Heavenly Human Realm expert pulls in roughly 10,000 Alliance Coins per month on average. Break it down, and covering rent becomes straightforward," explained a youth with skin smooth as glass, as he strolled the garden and showed around the thousand Blue Star shelter residents. "True, this is the outskirts, but the city lies entirely within a third-class Mysterious Land. City energy outstrips a third-class Life Planet by several folds. Bone Forger Realm Martial Artists advance daily with zero cultivation needed. Venture inside the city, and benefits amplify further. Rack up sufficient contributions at the Holy Hall or hit the top hundred in the monthly city tournament, and access opens to the third-class Mysterious Land for cultivation—its conditions dwarf those within the city walls."

Awe gripped everyone from the Blue Star shelter, stirred by the youth's rundown and their own past encounters.

On this trip, the Hall Master had guided the Great Grandmaster and elite prospects from Restricted Area shelters to Holy Wood Star, a second-class Life Planet. Long confined to the Restricted Area, they now grasped that greater heights loomed beyond.

Dense energy marked Blue Star's Restricted Area, yet its ferocity hampered effective harnessing.

Yet Holy Wood Star changed everything—even random spots here boasted energy surpassing the Restricted Area, all while remaining exceptionally mild. City entry mimicked a supreme Cultivation Room, with energy purity and caliber that stunned onlookers. Great Grandmasters themselves reaped gains, empowering bottleneck-stricken warriors to hone physiques deeper and swell their Qi and Blood reserves.
