The larger the Different Dimensional Space, the more solid its space nodes become. After all, the space nodes maintain the strength of the entire space. Small Different Dimensional Spaces can be shattered even by those at the Star Cloud Stage, but when it comes to the strength of a Pioneer Space like this, even the Five Emperors would have to fight for several days and nights.

The fifth Different Dimensional Space wasn't particularly large or small, but even Princess Aier, with her Star Sea Stage strength, had to strike more than twenty times to shatter the space node.

The moment the space node fractured, the space began to distort and collapse, twisting around the space node as its center. The Annihilation of a Different Dimensional Space is reminiscent of the formation of a black hole, with the space node as the singularity, continually swallowing space until the whole area is engulfed. However, unlike black holes, the disappearance of a Different Dimensional Space doesn't leave behind a terrifying black hole to consume everything.

After the last piece of space was engulfed, the Different Dimensional Space would break apart and disappear just like a soap bubble.

"Wang Lan, run! What are you doing?" Wu Shaohua saw the space node break and was about to leg it, but then he saw Wang Lan standing there dumbfounded like an idiot.

"Skill cooldown time... is up!" Wang Lan said with difficulty, then his whole body collapsed. Wu Shaohua caught Wang Lan in a flash and heaved him onto his shoulder, sprinting madly.

「In the depths of the universe, there is a dark Star Cloud.」

The Star Cloud looks like a dark, icy, and deadly cloud floating in the midst of space, as black as the universe's backdrop itself.

But if you pass through the Star Cloud, which is like hell itself, you would see a dazzling Galaxy inside. The Galaxy seems to be sealed within the Star Cloud, constantly having stars drift into the dark clouds, then being devoured by terrifying energy and broken down into parts of the Star Cloud; stars also perpetually rush towards the Star Cloud like moths to flame.

Within the Galaxy, a radiant civilization spreads across an entire star system. Countless gargantuan spaceship beetles patrol around colossal hive-like structures in the cosmos. If human scientists were here, they'd be astounded by the wondrous creations of the universe, to find such an extensive hive society civilization in space.

"Report, Marshal, the space channel to the Human World was just activated," said a high-ranking member of the Demon Clan, entering an eerie, worm-shaped chamber within a huge cluster of buildings, and speaking to a beetle-like humanoid creature within.

"The Human World's space channel? So soon? Only seventy years have passed; are the spies we left in the human realm that impatient to open the channel? Has something happened in the Human World, or are they just bored?"

"Not sure, the space was merely sensed and not opened, and the space signature extinguished within a few seconds. But we can confirm that it was the energy fluctuation from the Eighth Time-Space Gemstone."

"Eighth... Isn't that the Time-Space Gemstone that was last activated ten thousand years ago? Since the twelve Time-Space Gemstones were implanted a hundred thousand years ago, only a few have been frequently activated; most gemstones activate once every few thousand years. The eighth has been dormant for ten thousand years..."

"Indeed, but a Time-Space Gemstone being activated without opening a channel is unprecedented. Marshal, could something have happened?"

"What could have happened? It's just a lower civilization."

"But... the people from the Science Academy said that the civilization developing this time in the Human World is a rare one that has never appeared before and could become the greatest threat to the Divine Clan. They propose we shouldn't just treat it as a hunting ground, but completely annihilate the human race."

"Annihilate? Do you really think the slumbering Ancient God is just for show? Why did the Ancient God confine the remaining three million of the human race to the Galaxy? That was to leave behind the last seeds of humanity.

If we destroy their seeds, he will fight to the death with us. The Demon God hasn't returned; we've no power to resist him. That's precisely why we've repeatedly destroyed their civilization but not their race.

Without the Demon God, the Ancient God is our eternal threat."

"Don't we also have..."

"But we don't need to risk it, do we? The Demon God is merely lost in the Multi-Universe; once they return, not even a Gaia or the entire resurrection of the Ancient God Clan could withstand us, they'd be annihilated in the blink of an eye. Right now, we need to maintain this situation. If human civilization perpetually remains in its savage stage, its foundation will be cut, and we can abolish them at any moment."

"But Marshal, those from the Science Academy have repeatedly reported to the Empire Alliance, stressing the high threat level of human civilization. The Emperors take the Academy's words seriously."

"Not only do the Emperors believe them, I do too. It's just they have a penchant for exaggeration. I've studied this so-called technological civilization of humanity; they began their enlightenment about two to three thousand years ago, and after over two thousand years of history, their civilization is still stuck in the tool-making age. Even the gun they invented a hundred years ago is laughably weak.

The only real threat to us are their Star Martial Warriors. The cultivation civilization of the human race is now just a disorganized mess in the Magellan Galaxy, and the strongest of the Star Martial Warriors in the Earth's realm are mere low-level Demon Soldiers.

Without the domain of the Ancient God constraining us, we could easily turn Sky Blue Star into rubble with just one of our people. You don't need to overemphasize it, what the Science Academy folks say may become reality, but that's tens of thousands of years from now. Do you think human civilization can survive until then?"

"Marshal, you are wise; it seems I was a bit too hasty..."

"No, being cautious and vigilant is a valuable quality, every potential threat must be taken seriously. The Science Academy isn't wrong to paint human civilization as formidable; they're just too impatient. Anyway, let's erase their technological civilization after the next opening of the space channel, so we won't have to deal with the old fellows preaching about the threat of scientific civilization every day. Annoying!"

"Alright! Then I'll instruct the monitoring department to be more careful and closely monitor the activation state of the Time-Space Gemstones."

"Hmm!" The Marshal waved his hand, and just as his subordinate was about to leave, the Marshal suddenly called out, "When are you and Mora getting married?"

"Ah? I... I"

"What's the matter? You don't plan to marry my daughter?" While speaking, the Marshal was already prepared to kill the scumbag in front of him.

"If Miss Mora is willing, I can consummate the marriage tonight."

"Hmm! There's no need to be so hasty, wait until I notify you, you may go now."

「Wang Lan was groggy and didn't know how much time had passed, but when he regained consciousness, the first thing he saw was the twinkling stars in the sky.」

One cannot see stars in a Different Dimensional Space.

At the moment, he was sitting in a car that was bumping along a potholed road. However, his sudden revival was not because of the bumpy road or the fading aftermath of his skills, but because of prompts that suddenly popped up in his mind.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully preventing the Demon Clan's army from descending, rewarding seven million experience points and two hundred thousand skill points."

"Congratulations to the host for successfully closing the fifth Different Dimensional Space, rewarding three hundred thousand experience points and ten thousand skill points."

Both prompts rang out almost simultaneously.

Closing a Different Dimensional Space can award three hundred thousand experience points? That's already a very high reward. But compared to the previous reward, it's not even worthy to carry its shoes, right?

Seven million experience points? Even after reaching the Galaxy Stage, where leveling up starts at two million experience points, I had never received so many experience points at once. And to add twenty thousand skill points in an instant? Twenty thousand skill points could upgrade all my Star Martial Skills that I previously dared not level up.

The increase in Star Power due to my physical transformation let me see that I could follow the Pure Mage system route. But the Pure Mage system route consumes a lot of skill points, and now my usable skills were only a few. A bunch of S-rank Star Martial Skills had to be learned and then left to collect dust.

The previously set route of Zanpakuto combined with Dance of the Dark Butterfly for close combat seemed wonderful, but in the fight against Sang Guo, I also discovered problems.

Although the Sword of Light was powerful, that was true for those at the Galaxy Stage and Star Sea Stage. Once facing a Titled Strongman like Sang Guo, Zanpakuto's attack power was too weak.

What use is the ability to change a thousand ways if you can't break through the defense?

It's like the Light Feather Attack. Sang Guo could just stand still, and with just the Protect Body Star Energy Shield, he could completely withstand the attack of Light Feather. To continue down this path, the only way was to improve the attack power of Sword of Light.

But Sword of Light is not a skill point and can't be strengthened by adding points. So this path cannot be said to have failed, but an alternative Star Martial Skill must be found to replace it.

When I broke through to the Galaxy Stage, I had upgraded the Dance of the Dark Butterfly, Heavenly Fire Extinguishing World, and Earth Fire Roar among others to platinum grade Flame Sword Skills. Among them, when Flame Sword was upgraded to the platinum grade, it evolved into Extreme Heat Light Beam.

Platinum One, the initial temperature is ten thousand degrees. Ten thousand degrees, which surpasses the temperature of purple flames and is already quite strong. But the lethality of ten thousand degrees is not as high as one would imagine. The upgrade path for Extreme Heat Light Beam is to increase the heat of the light beam, which I clearly felt. To make Extreme Heat Light Beam replace Sword of Light as a strong output, its temperature must be increased several times.

And with each upgrade at the platinum level being progressively more expensive, starting at twenty thousand points, I simply couldn't afford it. Even my destiny Star Martial Skill, Life Light, was only at Platinum One. When lacking skill points, those beautiful futures could only be dreamt of during the day.

Now with an influx of two hundred thousand skill points all at once, Wang Lan was so excited that he sprang up.

BANG—

A loud noise jolted the car upward with a tremendous impact, startling Wu Shaohua who was driving to quickly look back.

"Wang Lan, the fight is over, calm down."

This kind of situation, Wu Shaohua had often seen before. Many Star Martial Warriors would fight until they fainted and were carried to the rear hospitals for treatment. Upon waking up, their first instinct was to strike out. That's why every battlefield medic had mastered the art of exquisite dodging—if you can't dodge well, you're not allowed to serve at the front-line hospitals.

What if you save someone, only to be punched to death by the person you saved? Wouldn't that be a loss?

"Ah? Oh, it's over? Good." Wang Lan deflected the awkward situation by playing along.

But Yu Ruoyun, who had been by Wang Lan's side the whole time, watching him for a long while, knew that Wang Lan had been awake for at least three seconds. Three seconds might seem short, but for a Star Martial Warrior, three seconds is enough to get pregnant.

So there was no reason for Wang Lan to bounce like that.

But within an instant, Yu Ruoyun figured it out. If she were Wang Lan, she would have bounced too.
