Starting With 100 Million Lives

After Qiu Yuxuan became the Emperor Sword Star Lord, she experienced an unprecedented elevation.

The recognition of the Heavenly Dao brought her endless insights.

Besides, there was the Star Power infusion from this Main Star.

Her realm rapidly ascended, quickly breaking through to the late Emperor Realm Ninth Layer, becoming a Celestial Venerable.

Then she broke through to the mid-stage Celestial Venerable, and then to the late stage...

Finally, because she couldn't fully absorb all the Star Power, she temporarily paused.

However, that was not the most important part.

After gaining control over part of the Celestial Dao Projection Power of this star, her entire body was suddenly enveloped by a special aura.

The aura grew brighter and brighter, eventually completely obscuring her perfect figure.

This was a scene that had never occurred with other Upper-Rank Star Lords.

It was a unique mutation belonging solely to Qiu Yuxuan.

When this mutation process ended, her clear eyes acquired a slight mist.

She knew many things...

For example, a certain mission of hers.

She slowly gazed into the distance, sometimes with realization, sometimes with hesitation.

After a long time, she returned to being the same Qiu Yuxuan as before, her gaze once again firm and resolute.

"I am who I am, and no one can dominate me!"

It was only at this moment that she finally noticed the other sword cultivators still training on the Emperor Sword Star.

Now that she was the master of this star, it had transformed from a public park into her private garden.

The previous Passage Order Imperial Sword Talisman no longer had significance.

All the sword cultivators still on the sea simultaneously felt an irresistible force suddenly strike them.

Before they could even cry out, they were abruptly ejected from the Emperor Sword Star.

They were forcibly transmitted to the outside world.

The only two exceptions were Jiang Cheng and Ling.

Brother Cheng didn't even feel any repelling force.

He just sensed that this world seemed to have undergone immense changes, even the position he stood in had shifted.

Even the Celestial Dao Sword Sea, which previously never showed the other shore, was filled with scattered islands.

"It's just a new Star Lord, yet it feels like the world has turned upside down?"

Ling was looking at him in astonishment.

She felt that repelling force.

That was the Emperor Sword Star Lord clearing the field.

However, she utilized some incredible special means to secretly block that force.

And Jiang Cheng was actually able to remain here.

This made her feel utterly incredulous.

For you see, that repelling force contained the Celestial Dao Power.

"An Upper-Rank Star Lord is the true dominator of this star; her control over this Main Star far exceeds that of Middle and Lower-Rank Star Lords."

Lower-Rank Main Stars still had their Star Monarchs appointed by the Celestial Palace, and the control over those stars was actually in the hands of the palace.

Middle Rank Main Star's Star Monarchs could only obtain half of the domination rights, with the other half also remaining with the Celestial Palace.

Only an Upper-Rank Main Star was different; the control was entirely in personal hands.

"Doesn't that make her a god of this star? Omnipotent?"

"Yes...but not completely."

Ling, as if answering Emperor Jiang Yin's questions consistently, continued.

"How so?"

"Star Lords can only operate within the existing rules of this star."

She seemed to know many unknown secrets.

"For instance, with the Celestial Dao Sword Sea, a Star Lord can alter the sea's position and create islands within it, but cannot make the Celestial Dao Projection Power inside the sea vanish or strengthen."

"They can modify the entry rules of this Main Star and stimulate its Star Power, but can only borrow the Star Power of this Emperor Sword Star."

"They're merely a puppet controlled by the Heavenly Dao over this star."

"Ultimately, it's still the Heavenly Dao pulling the strings behind everything."

With this explanation, Jiang Cheng completely understood.

It was similar to when Immortal Emperors became Masters of Rules in the past, simply as agents, not the true owners of the rules.

Thinking about that, he felt being a Star Lord wasn't all that impressive.

"Just like that!"

He had no desire to be a puppet of the Heavenly Dao; it would be so undignified!

Despite saying that, the Star Lord indeed received tangible benefits.

Such an opportunity placed before any immortal would be impossible to refuse.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Qiu Yuxuan finally noticed that familiar figure.

After all, with just Ling and Sect Leader Jiang inside the Emperor Sword Star now, she couldn't ignore them even if she wanted to.

"You actually came too?"

Without hesitation, she instantly flashed before Jiang Cheng.

Seeing Qiu Yuxuan floating in the air, Jiang Cheng almost swore aloud.

This girl could actually fly here?

What did that imply?

"That Star Lord, it couldn't be you, could it?"

As he asked the question, it seemed natural to him.

After all, she was the 'Immortal Mother Reincarnation'!

If she couldn't become a Star Lord, who could?

"What do you think?"

Qiu Yuxuan outright ignored Ling; her eyes were only on Jiang Cheng.

This person had imprinted deeply on her irremovable memories, long claiming the cherished throne as the most important in her life.

She wasn't someone who enjoyed boasting.

However, each time seeing Sect Leader Jiang, she couldn't resist the urge to crush him completely.

So, high and mighty, she deliberately asked with a face full of mockery, "How does it feel to be looked down upon by me now?"

Brother Cheng looked up at her, his smile carrying a distinct tease.

"Feels wonderful, but the view from under your skirt is even more captivating."

He truly seemed to be Qiu Yuxuan's nemesis.

With such a simple phrase, he immediately struck at Sister Qiu's defenses.

It unnaturally brought her down to the same level.

"You're as shameless as ever!"

She took a deep breath and made another move.

"Both of us training at the Celestial Dao Sword Sea, I became the Star Lord, and you?"

This was a historical moment!

Before, she was always suppressed by Jiang Cheng, losing time and time again; this time, she finally triumphed!

She even regretted clearing out the others.

She should have let more people witness this moment.

"Me?"

Jiang Cheng did not show an expression of bitterness or dissatisfaction she expected.

Instead, he grinned amiably and gave Sister Qiu an approving glance.

"I'm very gratified."

"Gratified?" Qiu Yuxuan froze.

For a moment, she couldn't understand Jiang Cheng's logic.

"Yes, under my careful guidance, my maid finally achieved a bit of success, so of course I have reason to feel gratified," Brother Cheng said.

Pfft!

Ling at the side burst out laughing.

She knew Qiu Yuxuan and seemed to have heard of the rumor that Qiu Yuxuan was Jiang Cheng's maid.

Though true, expressing it this way at such a time was too much, right?

Couldn't he let her revel in her great day just once?

Sister Qiu wanted to say, when did you ever nurture me?

Can you have a bit of shame?

She slowly closed her eyes, reopening them with restored calm.

"You probably still don't know your current situation."
