Li Shuang's expression shifted slightly.
She looked around.
No one else reacted, indicating that only she could hear the voice.
The City Lord's intention seemed to be for her not to hold back and to exert her full strength.
Li Shuang's eyes were calm.
She hadn't planned on holding back anyway.
The Divine Soul Golden Altar was a top-tier opportunity, and she had finally gotten this chance. If she still thought about holding back, was she a fool?
Aside from the Heaven and Earth Furnace, there was nothing else to hide.
But why did the City Lord suddenly give her this reminder?
Li Shuang was pondering.
Suddenly.
Her expression changed, and she looked up at the sky.
When they arrived, it was daytime.
After such a long time, the light of the Sun Star gradually dimmed, and in the distant sky, only a faint afterglow of the sun remained.
Next…
It would be time for the Lunar Star to rise.
Li Shuang suddenly understood the City Lord's meaning.
Enduring the pounding of the Profound Iron Hammer was not easy for her.
After sustaining it for so long, she was now nearing her limit.
Next, there were only two paths.
Either.
She would give up refining her divine soul and quickly proceed to the second level.
Or.
She would use the power of the Lunar Star to continue strengthening her divine soul!
Clearly.
The City Lord was worried that she might miss this excellent opportunity to refine her divine soul by holding back.
Li Shuang's gaze flickered slightly.
She had a strange feeling.
This City Lord seemed particularly concerned about the future of humanity.
Myriad Law City, Divine Soul Prison, Divine Soul Golden Altar.
Each of these opportunities had only one goal: to cultivate peerless experts for humanity.
Moreover.
It wasn't hard to notice that these opportunities were more geared towards young geniuses under a hundred years old.
Was the City Lord… preparing future powerhouses for humanity?
This seemed a bit too selfless.
This thought merely flashed through her mind, and Li Shuang didn't dwell on it.
Regardless of the City Lord's motives for doing all these things, it was ultimately a good thing for young geniuses.
Her task was to seize every opportunity she could and grow rapidly.
At the very least!
She had to catch up with the geniuses of the Central Continent first!
Li Shuang looked up at the Lunar Star, which was about to appear in the sky, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.
"Using the Thousand Mechanism Hammer Array to refine the divine soul is indeed an ingenious idea. But… even for Li, this is as far as it goes," You Lan's calm voice rang out.
They could all see it.
After enduring so many heavy blows, Li Shuang's divine soul had reached its limit.
If she continued to resist, it would only take a few more times before she would fall!
"She will come and join us soon," You Lan said slowly.
Her eyes were calm.
Li's talent was somewhat beyond her expectations.
However.
That was all.
Just half a day of divine soul refinement was not enough to bring about any earth-shattering changes for Li.
You Lan was about to sit down again.
Suddenly.
A gasp of surprise rang out.
"No! That's not right!"
"What is Li doing?"
"What is this! This light! Rebirth Art!"
You Lan's pupils suddenly constricted.
She had once cultivated the Rebirth Art, but she never had any talent for this secret technique and eventually had to switch to other divine soul methods.
However.
As an admirer of the City Lord, she still knew something about the general situation of this divine soul art.
At this moment, Li's body was enveloped in a faint light, and countless light dots shimmered on her forehead… This was…
Communicating with her source star!
"This level of light! Her Rebirth Art has already reached the first major accomplishment!"
"Then she might not have to give up yet! As everyone knows, star power is strongest at night. With the bonus of star power, she might be able to hold on for a while longer!"
"That depends on what her source star is! If it's very weak, the bonus she gets will probably be very limited."
All eyes were focused on Li Shuang.
You Lan stared intently at her.
So, Li. What exactly is your source star!
Finally!
The sunlight completely dissipated.
Above the Divine Soul Golden Altar, night fell instantly.
Countless stars twinkled, and the light on Li Shuang's body became increasingly brighter.
Once she connected with her source star, the image of that star would appear on her forehead.
Everyone was anticipating.
What exactly was Li Shuang's source star?
Amidst the twinkling starlight, above the Heaven-Reaching Pillar, the full moon finally arrived late.
The moment the full moon appeared.
All the light dots on Li Shuang's body seemed to find a home.
The light of the Lunar Star should have enveloped the entire wilderness, but at this moment, all the moonlight converged towards Li Shuang.
As countless light dots gathered, the image of a star slowly appeared on Li Shuang's forehead.
This phenomenon was astonishing.
You Lan's pupils suddenly constricted.
This light…
Could Li's source star be…
No, this is impossible.
This was something even the City Lord had failed to achieve.
Her heart pounded wildly, and she desperately told herself in her mind that this was impossible.
However.
When the light dissipated, the star on Li Shuang's forehead became exceptionally clear.
The entire scene.
Fell into an eerie silence.
Many people would mistake those tiny stars.
But.
No one would mistake this star.
This was clearly.
The Lunar Star.
The highest and farthest sun and moon, eternally bright, bearing witness to eternal life.
The power of the Lunar and Solar Stars, no matter which one was obtained, would make one a peerless existence.
And Li…
Although she couldn't yet be said to control the power of the moon, she was actually able to choose the Lunar Star as her source star.
On the path to the power of the moon, Li had already gone too far, too far beyond others!
With the bonus of the Lunar power.
That magnificent scene reappeared.
The full moon appeared on the green lotus, and the power of the green lotus was further enhanced!
The Profound Iron Hammer struck!
Li Shuang stood still, taking another blow head-on.
This time.
Her demeanor was even much more relaxed than before.
The power of the Lunar Star!
It was truly terrifying!
An endless silence spread.
After a long while.
Cang Yin suddenly laughed. She glanced at You Lan and said with a smile, "Oh, Sister You Lan, it seems your position as the top genius should indeed be relinquished."
You Lan ignored Cang Yin, just looking at Li Shuang in a daze.
After a long while.
Her clear, cold voice fell: "Everything has just begun."
She sat down, directly entering a deep state of cultivation.
Cang Yin found it uninteresting when she saw this. She stopped bothering You Lan and instead watched Li Shuang with great interest.
Li… huh…
She remembered that name.
It wasn't just Cang Yin; these arrogant geniuses only truly understood the weight of the name Li at this moment.
In Myriad Law City.
There was now a chorus of wails.
"It's over, it's over. The one who gains the most won't be Li, will it…"
"Most likely it's Li."
"Did any of you bet on Li?"
"No!"
"The betting time has already passed! It's too late to change now."
"Heavens! If someone had bet on Li, wouldn't they sweep all the points this time?"
Everyone felt a pang of heartache.
