Ye Futian’s group stood beneath the starry sky. Above them was the face of Ziwei the Great. His gigantic face was one with the starry sky. As they gazed up at the face, they discovered that they were minimal. They were as insignificant as grains of sand in the ocean.

The solemn aura persisted. The part of the starry sky that Ye Futian was in was tranquil. Very few people were talking. They were all silently looking up above at the starry sky.

Even if they could not comprehend the mystery of the silhouette of Ziwei the Great, by just standing there, they could still perceive different things. It was a comprehension that came with their state of mind.

These people were all the finest figures of the various Realms. Taking those from the Divine Prefecture as an example, many of the core figures of the 18 Domain Chief Manors were present here. Aside from them, there were also some powerful existences from mighty forces, cultivators from the Empty Divine Realm, and top figures of the Dark World.

In their own respective worlds, they were all-powerful existences. They were peerless, and they were renowned far and wide, exalted by the masses. Yet, here, they were no longer the figures who stood at the peak. Before this god, beneath this starry sky, everyone felt that they were tiny. Compared to the entire universe, they were still insignificant. Even though they had cultivated to such heights, they were still unqualified to pry into the secrets of this world.

It might be that only in such an environment could they feel this way.

Some comprehended the majesty of the Great Emperor while comprehending the vast starry sky.

Ye Futian discovered that although the various cultivators were standing under this part of the starry sky, they were seemingly divided into three groups. He was unsure as to whether or not this was intentional. Among these three groups, the cultivators of the Divine Prefecture made up the greatest number of people.

The other two groups should be the cultivators of the Empty Divine Realm and the Dark World.

“Renhuang Ye, have you heard of the legends of Ziwei the Great back in the day?” the Renhuang who had spoken before this asked Ye Futian as he walked up beside Ye Futian. Ye Futian shook his head and replied, “I know very little about the Great Emperor figures of ancient times. Please enlighten me.”

“Legend has it that Ziwei the Great once unified this segment and became its ruler. In this Ziwei Segmentum, all living things among the various stars worshiped him. Aside from him, there were a few other Great Emperor figures in this segment. They each held a position and ruled over their own domain. Ziwei the Great was not an ordinary Great Emperor. There were Great Emperor level figures beneath him, and he was also called the Star Lord of Ziwei. He was known as the master of the various stars,” the cultivator said. “This segment was sealed away by Ziwei the Great for countless eons. It might be that it was not like this back in the day. It might have been even larger than this. It is hard to say for sure. Among the stars that merged to form the silhouette of Ziwei the Great, were there previously cultivators on these stars?”

Ye Futian nodded his head slightly. Great Emperor figures naturally also had power levels. Before the collapse of the Heavenly Path, during the Age of the Gods, the gods ruled the world. There were surely many existences at the Great Emperor level back then. It was natural for there to be outstanding figures among them. Ziwei the Great was one of them. He was a Star Lord who ruled over a segment.

Shenjia the Great Emperor was also a powerful Great Emperor figure. Otherwise, he would not have dared to say that the world originally had no Paths. He wanted to challenge the Heavenly Palace and the Heavenly Path.

During that glorious era, when the various gods contended with each other, how many peerless figures roamed the world exactly?

Ye Futian imagined that it would certainly be exciting if he could return to such an era.

Unfortunately, it was most likely impossible to return to such an era ever again.

“Alright, I will leave Renhuang Ye to your own comprehension,” the Renhuang said. Ye Futian nodded his head slightly and did not say anymore. He continued to gaze up at the starry sky. A sensation of feeling small welled up inside of him.

He attempted to clear his mind. His focus wandered the galaxy. His consciousness seemed to float around, traversing the endless starry sky.

Could it be a matrix? Ye Futian thought to himself. However, what sort of matrix could be formed from billions of stars?

It would be impossible for him to unravel it. Most likely, all the cultivators here would not be able to unravel it. Probably only Great Emperor level existences could use stars to form a matrix.

As his consciousness floated in the space, he saw a brilliant light that was exceptionally bright in the starry sky. It was the Heavenly Scroll in the hand of the Great Emperor. It appeared mysterious. The Great Emperor held it in his hand, yet it could not be touched. Naturally, someone had tried to do so before this. It was not just them. Over the countless years, the members of Ziwei Imperial Palace would have certainly tried to do so as well. Hence, Ye Futian did not have any intention of retrieving the Heavenly Scroll. It was a foolish dream to want to do so.

He only hoped to solve the mystery behind the silhouette of Ziwei the Great or rather the mystery hidden within it.

His consciousness wandered the starry sky for a long while. However, he still did not manage to grasp anything. Ye Futian only sensed the vastness of the starry sky, the majesty of the galaxy, as well as how miniscule he was. The heavenly might that lingered in the space seemed to have lasted since ancient times. As he stood there, he could not sense anything else.

If he continued doing so, he might have some insights into the world, but it would be impossible to unravel the mystery of Ziwei the Great.

As Ye Futian retracted his consciousness, he opened his eyes and sighed inside as he looked at the starry sky as well as the silhouette of Ziwei the Great. He felt that it would be challenging to unravel this mystery.

Ye Futian glanced at the others and asked Blind Tie and Fang Gai, “Have you managed to comprehend anything?”

Fang Gai shook his head and answered, “I only felt as though my lifetime of cultivation is insignificant while being here.”

On the other hand, Blind Tie said, “If Ziwei the Great truly left behind a sliver of his will, what would it look like if all the stars came crashing down?”

“…” Ye Futian looked at Blind Tie with a look of surprise. This fellow had an interesting way of thinking!

However, Ye Futian actually could not help but ponder about it. What would it look like if all the stars came crashing down?

A world would most likely be destroyed. The entire segment might even be destroyed.

Was this the power of Ziwei the Great? As Star Lord of Ziwei, he could control the various stars in the sky.

“Renhuang Ye, have you managed to comprehend anything?” asked the Renhuang when he saw Ye Futian return from his comprehensive state.

“Unfortunately, no,” replied Ye Futian as he shook his head.

The person said, “It’s nothing. For the past few days, with so many cultivators here, all of us have not had much substantial insight. There have been people who sensed the existence of specific stars that make up the silhouette of Ziwei the Great. However, their findings are still unclear and will most likely not be of much use.” Ye Futian looked up at the starry sky. Could he sense those stars?

“I’ll take a look and see whether I can find anything,” replied Ye Futian. “Thanks for the reminder.”

“This isn’t a useful clue.” the other party smiled, shaking their head and not paying much heed. Ye Futian closed his eyes once again. His consciousness reached out toward the starry sky, heading towards the stars that made up the silhouette of Ziwei the Great. Based on their conclusion, there might be something among those stars!
