Starry Sky Gold!
This was the first time Wang Sheng knew the actual name of the material used for forging his weapon.
Yet, he also found it quite odd.
“Although the main bodies of my flying sword and Destruction Spear are crafted from metal, they were originally wood, not real metal. Why then are they called Starry Sky Gold?”
[The name Starry Sky Gold comes from the fact that this material originates from an unknown location deep within the cosmos and appears primarily in metallic form, hence the name.]
It was simpler than Wang Sheng had imagined.
But it didn’t detract from the rarity of this material.
[In truth, I don’t know much about this material either, only what the data suggests. According to this information, this material can devour any substance, becoming the most voracious material. Whether there’s a limit to this ability is still unknown, as no powerful being has ever pushed the material to its limit.]
[Moreover, crucially, weapons forged from this material can easily bond with a cultivator’s life and gradually adapt to the cultivator’s system, becoming the most suitable weapon. Top-tier combatants without such weapons can even fall behind and be defeated in battle, similar to the last encounter with the Dao Monarch. If he had been armed with such a weapon, his strength could have increased by ten to twenty percent.]
The Dao Monarch had only appeared as an incarnation last time, hence he did not carry any weapons.
But it might not be the same if it were his true form.
Wang Sheng knew well that, had the Dao Monarch possessed a weapon forged from this material, the outcome of their last encounter might have been uncertain.
If possible, he hoped that the Dao Monarch didn’t have such a weapon.
After all, as a mortal enemy, the weaker, the better; he didn’t wish for a powerful adversary.
“Yuan, you mentioned that this material is rare across the entire cosmos. Just how rare is it?”
[In a whole region, there’s only a little bit. It exists on the Source Star, and that is incredibly fortunate. Even its appearance is an exception. The initial state of Starry Sky Gold is quite ordinary; it must devour something to become strong. If one were less fortunate, they might not secure the Starry Sky Gold even if it were right in front of them.]
Starry Sky Gold’s most impressive feature is its ability to evolve.
But as Yuan mentioned, in its initial form, Starry Sky Gold is unremarkable; if it hadn’t been for the Blood Locust King, he might never have discovered this unique material.
“How is such material formed… It’s beyond normal understanding.”
Its ability to evolve infinitely is, by itself, quite astonishing.
“Yuan, do you have any information on this?”
[No, but I know a bit. Starry Sky Gold is rare, but it exists in every area, so it’s likely a product of the Starry Sky Rules.]
“In every area…” Wang Sheng fell into thought, “and it can become a weapon adaptable to any cultivation system… It does seem likely that it’s a product of the Starry Sky Rules, perhaps intentionally given to fortunate cultivators?”
Below the cosmos, Wang Sheng wasn’t sure how many cultivation systems there were, but he knew that in Datong alone, there were dozens to hundreds.
And that’s just the development over decades. If hundreds or thousands of years were to pass, the number of cultivation systems could be a terrifying figure.
Yet Starry Sky Gold can adapt to any system… This is indeed thought-provoking.
[That’s the speculation, mainly because it’s too coincidental.]
“It’s not just coincidence; Starry Sky Gold, once it appears, is likely to end up in the hands of the strongest in the region. It’s a form of brutal competition, similar to the challenge between worlds.”
The struggle between worlds is also a part of the Starry Sky Rules.
And Starry Sky Gold, this astonishing material, is like a prize for the ultimate winner.
As for the weaker ones, they mostly end up returning it to the stronger holders.
“Such a cruel rule indeed!”
Without sufficient strength, nothing can be retained; this applies to treasures, living planets, and worlds alike.
[It has always been this way; you must adapt.]
Planet Will Yuan offered some comfort.
“I’m not that fragile, just a bit sentimental. Compared to these issues, I’m actually more interested in the world of Seven Emotions Monarch…”
[Why?] Yuan was surprised by Wang Sheng’s quick shift.
“You might not know, but decades ago, I met the Seven Emotions Monarch. At that time, he already knew of the existence of Starry Sky Gold. What do you think, how likely is it that their world has Starry Sky Gold?” Wang Sheng laughed, knowing well the rules of the cosmos; he couldn’t blame himself for snatching up good things for himself.
[
Yuan, who had been worried about Wang Sheng, suddenly heard that Wang Sheng was already thinking about plundering and adapting well.
[Although our interaction with that world was brief, I can sense that they lack an existence like mine; knowing about Starry Sky Gold suggests your speculation is likely correct.]
Having no source of information about Starry Sky Gold but knowing its value, there’s only one possibility, which is that a powerful being in his world possesses such a material.
Seven Emotions Monarch had a source of information, hence his desire for the Starry Sky Sword in his possession.
“Given that, I really must visit the world of Seven Emotions Monarch!”
Possessing a treasure like Starry Sky Gold is not to be missed.
[Don’t worry, they actively linked to our world; reconnecting will be easier, just like with the Chaotic Realm. They initially opened a cross-dimensional channel with Source Star for invasion, so going there would be no difficulty.]
Wang Sheng nodded.
The dimensional channels between Source Star and Chaotic Realm remain, allowing for cross-dimensional travel.
