Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 415 Shadow

Above the Star Palace, golden fireworks had just bloomed, but the dazzling light was instantly swallowed up by a powerful aura. The originally cheerful music came to an abrupt end, and people looked at each other, and the uneasy mood spread among the crowd like ripples.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li stood side by side on the top of the Star Hall, their gorgeous clothes fluttering in the strong wind, and they watched the black shadow falling from the sky with vigilant eyes.

The moment the mysterious figure landed, an invisible pressure swept across the entire square. There was a burst of exclamations from the crowd. Some people with weaker cultivation could not even withstand the pressure and collapsed to the ground.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Star Palace!" Gao Xingchen's voice exploded like thunder, shocking everyone present. He knew that at this moment, he represented not only himself, but also the safety of the entire Nine Star Realm.

The mysterious man slowly raised his head. His silver mask reflected a cold light in the sunlight, making it difficult to see his expression. One could only feel a hint of mockery in his deep voice: "Star Heart Guardian? Humph, nothing more than that."

"Are you the running dog of the God of Darkness?" Nan Li asked coldly, holding the dagger that was emitting cold air in his hand. Although the God of Darkness had been sealed, they all knew that this did not mean that the threat had completely disappeared.

"How dare you!" The mysterious man shouted angrily, and a strong pressure came again. Nan Li felt a tightness in her chest and couldn't help but take a half step back. Gao Xingchen was quick-witted and supported Nan Li, while releasing the power of the stars to dissolve the pressure of the mysterious man.

"Lier, are you okay?" Gao Xingchen asked with concern, while staring at the mysterious man vigilantly, fearing that he would suddenly attack.

"I'm fine." Nan Li took a deep breath, suppressed the surging blood in his body, and looked at the mysterious man with a firm gaze, "What do you want to do?"

The mysterious man sneered, his tone full of disdain: "I came here just to tell you that the God of Darkness will return to the world soon! Are you ready?"

Before he finished speaking, the mysterious man flashed and turned into a black shadow that soared into the sky and disappeared into the clouds in an instant. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li wanted to chase him, but he escaped.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked solemn. They knew that a bigger crisis was quietly approaching...

The sudden appearance and departure of the mysterious visitor was like a huge rock dropped into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were filled with doubts and uneasiness, and they realized that a bigger storm was coming.

"Who is he? What is his relationship with the God of Darkness?" Nan Li frowned, her eyes full of worry.

Gao Xingchen gently held her hand and said in a deep voice: "No matter who he is, his purpose is very clear, which is to disturb our minds and make us lose our composure."

"Xingchen, what should we do?" Nan Li raised his head, his eyes full of trust and dependence on Gao Xingchen.

"We must respond calmly and not let him lead us by the nose." Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "Since he dared to come, he will definitely show up again. We must be prepared. The next time we meet, we must get more information from him."

As Gao Xingchen expected, a few days later, the mysterious visitor appeared in the Xingchen Palace again. This time, he did not alarm anyone, but secretly found Gao Xingchen and Nan Li.

"What do you want?" Gao Xingchen asked straight to the point, with a hint of vigilance in his tone.

The mysterious visitor was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I came here to tell you a secret, a secret about the power of the stars."

"Star power?" Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other, and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes. Star power is the source of their power and the key to protecting the Nine Star Realm, but they have never heard of any secrets of star power.

"Yes, the power of the stars is not as simple as you think." The mysterious visitor's voice was low and mysterious, "It possesses a powerful force that even you don't know, and this power is the key to completely sealing the God of Darkness."

“What did you say?!” Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were filled with shock. They could never have imagined that the power they possessed was related to the fate of the entire Nine Star Realm.

"Why should I believe you?" Gao Xingchen suppressed the shock in his heart and asked calmly.

The mysterious visitor sneered: "Believe it or not, I am just here to convey a message. Remember, time is running out. The revival of the God of Darkness cannot be stopped. The Nine Star Realm must be prepared."

Before he finished his words, the mysterious visitor once again turned into a black shadow and disappeared, leaving Gao Xingchen and Nan Li standing there, their hearts filled with shock and confusion.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li decided to keep this secret hidden for the time being so as not to cause unnecessary panic, but they also knew that time was running out and they had to find a way to completely seal the God of Darkness as soon as possible.

The mysterious visitor's warning is like a sword hanging over their heads, making them unable to sleep or eat. Is the revival of the Dark God really unstoppable? Can Gao Xingchen and Nan Li find a way to completely seal the Dark God?

The sudden disappearance of the mysterious visitor plunged the Xingchen Hall into silence again. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li stood side by side in the middle of the empty hall, both of them silent, but their emotions were like the turbulent sea, unable to calm down for a long time.

"Xingchen, do we really want to hide this from others?" Nan Li broke the silence, with a hint of hesitation in her cold voice. The power of the stars is related to the safety of the entire Nine Stars Realm. If the news is leaked, it will inevitably cause great panic.

Gao Xingchen frowned, his deep eyes revealed a bit of solemnity. "Now is not the time. We know nothing about the power of the stars. Revealing it rashly will only disrupt our plans." He paused and said firmly, "We must first figure out the secret of the power of the stars and find a way to completely seal the God of Darkness, so that we can truly protect the peace of the Nine Star Realm."

Nan Li nodded gently. She understood Gao Xingchen's concerns. Since they took on the mission of guardians, they had experienced countless hardships and tests along the way and had learned to be calm and composed.

"That mysterious man, can his words really be trusted?" Nan Li recalled the warning given by the mysterious visitor before he left, and a sense of uneasiness rose in her heart. They had seen the power of the God of Darkness before, and if they really could not stop his revival, the Nine Star Realm would face an unprecedented catastrophe.

"It's better to believe it than not to believe it." Gao Xingchen's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Since he dared to show up, it means he must know something. We can't ignore his warning, we must be fully prepared."

"Then what should we do next?" Nan Li turned his gaze to Gao Xingchen, his eyes full of trust and dependence.

"First, we need to find out the true secret of the power of stars." Gao Xingchen pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Since that mysterious man mentioned the power of stars, it means that it must be hiding a power that we don't know about. We need to find the key to unlock this secret."

"But where should we start?" Nan Li frowned slightly. Their understanding of the power of the stars only stopped at how to use its power. As for other secrets, they knew nothing about it.

"Perhaps, we can start looking for the answer from the origin of star power." Gao Xingchen suddenly had an idea and thought of a possible direction.

"The origin of star power?" Nan Li's eyes flashed with doubt, "But, the records about star power are only some ancient legends, and there is no mention of its origin."

"Legends do have some basis. Perhaps we can find some clues from these ancient legends." Gao Xingchen's eyes were firm. "I believe that as long as we don't give up, we will be able to find a way to completely seal the God of Darkness!"

At this moment, Gao Xingchen suddenly thought of someone, someone who might know the secret of the power of stars...
