Chapter 1200: Let’s go Further Away
When Roan opened his eyes again, he could see a different environment than before. No, to be more specific, everything was still as it was. However, it was as if a second layer was added to the world. He could see something like a shower of light coming down from through the walls and entering the ground. The formations in Kihin’s residence made no difference. Roan could also feel the similarities between that dark light and the energy passing through. ‘So this is Starlight Energy, huh?’
It truly was different from Divine Energy and Soul Power. It gave him a ‘robust’ feeling. To form an analogy, Divine Energy was like water, Soul Power like air, and Starlight Energy like earth. Each energy had its own properties and advantages. ‘No wonder it’s used for a body cultivation technique. This is just perfect for it.’
Roan then put those thoughts behind. He found Starlight Energy, so what? Most people would feel excited, happy, impressed, and other positive feelings. However, Roan had never been like that. No need to dwell on it for much longer. It was time to try it out and see just what was wrong with the energy itself.
Roan then focused on the next step of the Starlight Body Cultivation Technique. ‘Next, I need to fill my meridians with Starlight Energy. It will naturally connect that Dark Starlight in my body. Once that’s done, I will finally be able to look for a star to connect to. It’s not possible to use Starlight before it. From what is told in the manual, the Starlight I can see is, in fact, a mix of countless Starlights. I can’t use all of them as they aren’t really equal to one another.’
Roan continued, ‘Also, it seems like when a star is taken, no one else can take it anymore until its ‘owner’ dies. The star simply won’t accept you. But then again, the number of Stars is big enough that I don’t need to be afraid of running out of options. I guess that’s because the number of people that use Starlight in the Realm of Gods isn’t that big.’
Roan couldn’t help but think. ‘I wonder what just happened for so many Stars to appear in the Realm of Gods after Soul Gem left.’ But it was then that he shook his head as his mind wandered off from the task at hand. ‘No, this isn’t right. The Realm of Gods is still located in the same Universe. That meant that it always had countless Stars.’
Roan then asked Sister Orb, ‘Could it be that the people in the Realm of Gods couldn’t see the stars of the Mortal Realm before, but now they can?’
Sister Orb heard that and agreed it was a possibility. [Maybe? At the very least, your theory makes a lot of sense. It would also explain why so many stars appeared out of nowhere. It most likely has something to do with the event that culminated in the universe’s separation into two halves.]
Roan nodded in agreement. ‘I thought so as well.’ Roan then put this issue behind his mind. ‘In any case, there’s no way I can confirm that right now. We’ll find out one day.’
Roan then again focused on the Starlight Body Cultivation Technique as he knew his mind wandered away from his initial task. He took a deep breath and allowed that mixed Starlight to enter his body, allowing it to reach his own Dark Starlight. ‘If I focus on the mixed Starlight through my own Dark Starlight, I should be able to ‘see’ all the stars that compose the mixed Starlight.’
Roan once again reached for that Dark Starlight of his and felt like his mind was sucked in. However, he wasn’t afraid or anything like that. For some reason, he could tell that he was in complete control of his Dark Starlight and could pull his mind out wherever he wanted. Of course, he didn’t do so. That’s because a sea of stars had just appeared in his mind!
‘It’s been a while since I saw something like this.’ As a Death Spirit in the previous life, he obviously saw the other half of the universe from space many times. ‘Let’s see…’
Roan continued to focus on the body cultivation technique’s information. ‘All I need to do is look at a star and ‘will’ for it to get close.’
*Vup!*
Suddenly, Roan felt like he moved at a speed many times above the speed of light itself. Before he could process it, he was already in front of the star he had just wished to see from up close. ‘I see…even though it’s all happening in my mind, I’m really seeing the star as it is right now. The distance it is from the Realm of Gods makes no difference. It’s all thanks to the Dark Starlight in my body, and so it should be for all living beings and their own natural Starlights.’
With that, Roan reached the point he wanted. ‘Now I can just select a star to connect to. As long as I wish it and the star isn’t taken, I should be able to connect to it.’
He tried to concentrate on the star in front of him and could see that it didn’t have an owner. However, Roan narrowed his eyes. He could have selected it straight away. Though, he simply didn’t like that one.
As if the star had felt Roan’s emotion, Roan was suddenly repelled away by it, much to his surprise. ‘Do stars have their own conscience? Or perhaps it’s instinct?’ In any case, he could only shake his head as he couldn’t confirm it. ‘Whatever. Let’s look for another one.’
It was then that he had an idea. ‘Could it be that the distance of the star affects the results?’ Naturally, the closer it was, the easier it should be to feel that specific star’s Starlight. However, Roan felt like things were not that simple. ‘Let’s go further away.’
