Chapter 1 Jiang Xiao

Jiang Xiao let the two whales play and frolic in the air. At dawn, the red sun slowly rose from the horizon, illuminating the earth and painting the two whales with a golden hue.

Jiang Xiao stood in the air, watching silently. After a long time, he came back to his senses. He draped his cloak around himself and slowly descended to the ground, his eyes already shimmering with nine stars.

Hua Xing Cheng Wu * Time Reversal.

With a light touch of Jiang Xiao's finger, the old man's blurred figure in front of him quickly became clear.

But Jiang Xiao was not in the mood to size up that old face. His gaze was fixed on the book in the old man's hands.

As time slowly reversed, the mysterious words that once surrounded Jiang Xiao, transforming his body and improving his Star Power realm, slowly flew back to the book in the old man's hands.

Jiang Xiao sighed deeply. Time reversed again, but... from the moment the old man used Hua Xing Cheng Wu (Transformation of Stars into Martial Arts) to condense the book's physical form, to the moment he opened the book, he had only one action: directly turning to that page.

Jiang Xiao took two steps forward, approached the old man, lowered his head, and carefully read the strange words above. He couldn't understand the meaning of these peculiar symbols at all, but he could memorize the words on this page.

After a long while, Jiang Xiao's nine-star pupils quietly disappeared, and the illusory old man in front of him also vanished without a trace.

Jiang Xiao switched Star Charts. A thick book Star Chart appeared on his chest. Against the backdrop of the rich Star Power of the Star Sea stage, the appearance of *Chronicles of the Star Warriors* was completely restored. Although it was somewhat old and damaged, it was exquisite enough in Jiang Xiao's eyes.

"Whew~" Jiang Xiao raised his head and whistled. At the same time, he opened the door to the World of Decayed Shadows at his side.

The two whales called out to each other. The Humming Whale chased the Lonely Whale's heart-shaped tail, one after the other, and swam into the huge door of the World of Decayed Shadows.

Jiang Xiao held the Hua Xing Cheng Wu *Chronicles of the Star Warriors* and floated inside.

"Eh?" In the Flower Sea Ranch, Xiao Chongyang, covered in morning dew, rested her halberd on Chen Lingtao's head. She turned around, looked up, and saw the huge portal opening in the sky, and the Humming Whales entering one after the other.

Chen Lingtao felt helpless. He shifted his body to the side. His morning training had been completely ruined by a little girl.

Whether in terms of physical fitness or combat skills, this little brother of hers was being completely crushed.

"Wow, there are two Humming Whales!" Xiao Chongyang rubbed her eyes and looked up at the sky again. She really saw two Humming Whales, and then she saw the person flying in after them.

Xiao Chongyang waved her hand, and a huge Soul-Devouring Cloak wrapped around her petite body. She quickly flickered and came to Jiang Xiao's side, saying, "Jiang Xiao, Jiang Xiao."

"Hmm?" Jiang Xiao's body stopped in the air. He turned his head and saw an innocent face. That delicate face had a hint of wildness, a unique contradictory beauty.

"Why are there two Humming Whales? Did the Humming Whale have a baby?" Xiao Chongyang floated next to Jiang Xiao and asked curiously.

Jiang Xiao's mood improved a little. He reached out and wiped the dew off Xiao Chongyang's face, and said with a smile, "Humming Whales should be mammals like us humans. One of them can't have a baby. Why are you up so early? It's barely dawn."

"Hehe, I like to fight." Xiao Chongyang's little hand went into her hood, habitually scratching her head with a silly look, but she quickly came back to her senses and asked, "I was wondering why you didn't come back all day. Did you go find its partner?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Xiao pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, not telling her everything that had happened last night.

Xiao Chongyang didn't need to bear these burdens.

Xiao Chongyang continued to ask, "That's great, it has a playmate too. What's the name of this new Humming Whale?"

Jiang Xiao: "It doesn't have a name yet. You can help me think of one."

"Ugh." Xiao Chongyang tilted her head and looked around. She flickered and sat directly on top of one of the whales.

Jiang Xiao closed the door to the World of Decayed Shadows early, held the book in his hand, looked around, flickered, and sat down on the back of a Flower-Paved Ox, lowered his head, and carefully looked at the words on the page.

"Master." Chen Lingtao walked over to Jiang Guiren to "pay his respects."

Jiang Xiao hummed and said, "Continue training, don't mind me. Why are you sparring with Xiao Chongyang? Where's Yin Wei?"

Chen Lingtao looked helpless. He looked around, pointed to a huge patch of flowers, and said, "Yin Wei should be lying in the flowers, asleep."

"Hmm." Jiang Xiao nodded and said, "You don't need to call me for dinner."

Chen Lingtao looked thoughtfully at the book in Jiang Xiao's hand, hesitated, but still didn't speak. He took the halberd in his hand and turned to leave.

Jiang Xiao sat on the back of the Flower-Paved Ox, looking down at the strange words in the book. This page of content was what had raised Jiang Xiao's Star Power realm and made his physical fitness soar!

What do they really mean...?

Jiang Xiao recalled the symbols that the old man had summoned last night, focusing his gaze on the line of words in the very center of the page.

He carefully recalled the peculiar sensation of being transformed, and as he thought about it, Jiang Xiao suddenly discovered that the words in front of him were gradually revealing their true form, evolving into a fragmented image.

When described as "fragmented", it wasn't truly broken. It was just that the majority of the image's content hadn't surfaced.

And the revealed partial image was a small part of the human body's structure, seemingly the chest area.

Within it, there were no acupoints, but there were streams of Star Power flowing, outlining a strange trajectory.

Jiang Xiao was overjoyed. If he could slightly uncover a part of the image, then wouldn't that mean...

Jiang Xiao clearly remembered the "symbols" that the old man had used to seal his Star Slots!

Those symbols were exactly the same!

Lost in thought, Jiang Xiao hurriedly flipped back through the pages, searching for the strange symbols that had sealed his Star Slots in his memory.

Found it!

Jiang Xiao's finger paused slightly, um... that's not right.

He looked at it for a long time. Among the dense, tightly packed words, there was indeed a symbol that sealed his Star Slots, but there was only one.

And as Jiang Xiao continued to flip through the pages, he found the same symbol on many pages.

Jiang Xiao sighed deeply. When the old man sealed his Star Slots, he didn't open the book. He simply held the closed book in one hand and directly used this Hua Xing Cheng Wu (Transformation of Stars into Martial Arts).

It seemed that the other party was very familiar with this Hua Xing Cheng Wu (Transformation of Stars into Martial Arts), having used it many times, so he was so skilled.

But he hadn't used it many times to help others improve their physical fitness or raise their Star Power realm. Jiang Xiao clearly remembered that the old man was "learning as he went", opening that page, looking at it for a long time, and carefully studying it for a while before starting to help Jiang Xiao transform his body.

Jiang Xiao frowned. From back to front, he flipped through this *Chronicles of the Star Warriors*, as thick as a dictionary, and only the part with the Star Beast Illustrations was relatively clear. The dense symbols could transform into illustrations and text descriptions in Jiang Xiao's eyes.

It seemed that this thick *Chronicles of the Star Warriors* recorded all kinds of things, and with Jiang Xiao's current level, he could only read the "unlocked" Star Beast Illustrations, and even those were incomplete.

Was it because he possessed such a massive amount of knowledge that the old man had insisted that the world we existed in was the space of a God-level Star Warrior?

Was that so?

Jiang Xiao's heart was wavering a little.

The old man might have such a guess after experiencing the various things in the world, but he shouldn't have insisted on it without any reason.

Wait!

Jiang Xiao was shocked. As doubt arose in his mind, he was about to finish flipping through the book, reaching the first page, and Jiang Xiao was shocked to discover that he could actually understand it?

Why couldn't he understand it yesterday, but he could understand it now?

The words on the first page transformed into two sentences:

"Breath forms the seasons, eyes become stars. Skin transforms into the earth, blood becomes rivers."

Jiang Xiao: ???

This... this is fucking......

After seeing these, was that why the old man was so sure that the place where people lived was the space of a certain Star Warrior...

No!

According to the meaning of these sentences, the planet where people live shouldn't be the Space Star Technique of some Star Warrior!

But should be this "Star Warrior" himself!

This planet was transformed by a Star Warrior? We have always lived inside this person's body!?

Jiang Xiao's body trembled slightly, and his hair stood on end!

So... so...... what the old man wanted Jiang Xiao to help him verify, the so-called breaking through the spatial barrier and breaking through dimensions, was to "break out" from this Star Warrior's body!?

No, not the body.

It should be noted that the old man was in a foreign planet at this time, so yesterday when he pointed to the sky, indicating the surrounding environment, he was clearly referring to the alien planet continent.

The old man regarded the alien planet as the Spatial Star Technique of this God-level Star Warrior!

Was it because there were related texts recorded later?

In the far distance, Xin Ai'an stood outside the fence of the Flower Sea Ranch, watching Jiang Xiao from afar. She had wanted to call Jiang Xiao to eat breakfast, but just now Chen Lingtao said not to disturb the master.

Xin Ai'an was a little at a loss. She wanted to call him, but she didn't dare to disturb him. In the end, she could only stand hesitantly at the gate.

In her sight, she saw Jiang Xiao raise his head blankly and look in her direction.

"Xiao Pi, time to eat!" Xin Ai'an hurriedly raised her little hand and called out to Jiang Xiao.

But... Jiang Xiao, who was always friendly and kind, completely ignored her and didn't reply at all.

In fact, at this time, Jiang Xiao was just acting subconsciously. There was no one in his eyes.

In his mind, there was already an astonishing hypothesis: Earth, alien planet. The relationship between the two might be...

One was the Star Warrior's own body, and the other was the Star Warrior's Spatial Star Technique!?

So now the question is, how many years has Earth existed?

According to scientific explanations, it is said to be 4.5 or 4.6 billion years, right? Could a Star Warrior live that long?

Just now, the old man obtained a massive amount of knowledge through *Chronicles of the Star Warriors*, becoming powerful to an extent that Jiang Xiao couldn't imagine, and the old man had said a sentence during the exchange: "I am old!"

Star Warriors were definitely not cultivators. Their final destination was not immortality.

At least in Jiang Xiao's current understanding, even the most powerful Star Warrior would eventually decline.

The old man clearly stated that he was lucky to meet Jiang Xiao, a "kindred spirit," in his twilight years.

So, could that God-level Star Warrior, who transformed his body into the Earth, have existed for 4.5 or 4.6 billion years? What a joke...

Or rather, he had already died, but his body still existed.

Why did extra-dimensional spaces start to appear on Earth in the mid-20th century, in 1950, and why did Star Power start to appear?

Was it because something went wrong with the Star Warrior's body? And it inevitably merged with the Spatial Star Technique he once possessed?

And this process was obviously accelerating!

His body was about to merge with his Spatial Star Technique!
