As the hour passed, the Starlit Mist grew increasingly thin. Those who had already returned looked up at the sky, realizing that time had slipped away from them. They sighed, acknowledging their own inadequacies, knowing they could not linger any longer.
Still within the Starlit Mist, Gu Ping halted his search for Spirit Runes. He had already acquired seven rings of the Azure Dragon Constellation level on his fingers, along with fourteen smaller rings, and a rather weak Spirit Ring that had inexplicably appeared on his face.
Gu Ping did not know when the Little Guy had shown up; he only knew that the small Spirit Rune could navigate freely within the Starlit Mist, so he kept it close by.
As the mist began to dissipate, the small Spirit Rune looked at Gu Ping with an expression of reluctance. In an instant, Gu Ping seemed to grasp something but it slipped away just as quickly. He wondered if those Spirit Runes living in the Starlit Mist also had their own lives. Could they think and desire to live like humans?
But Gu Ping understood that once the Starlit Mist vanished completely, the world belonging to the Spirit Runes would also fade away. He pondered what would happen to those Spirit Runes he had encountered before.
For those Spirit Runes, life might exist only in that fleeting hour, perhaps akin to human existence.
Gu Ping trembled as he looked down at his legs. The Spirit Runes might be like humans; their world could very well mirror that of humans. Although simpler, those Spirit Runes also wished to live and see the vast world outside.
For Coco, who suddenly appeared beside Gu Ping, that one hour spent together represented everything about life.
Gu Ping then glanced at Yoyo perched on his shoulder. To Yoyo, Gu Ping was its entire world. The meaning of life might not lie in its duration; through changes in time and space, life is fleeting like a passing shadow. Whether they had truly existed or experienced anything was uncertain, yet they sought to leave no regrets behind.
Look! They have arrived.
At the moment when the Starlit Mist completely dissipated, everyone found themselves appearing out of thin air at the other end of the square. Beneath a starry sky and surrounded by auspicious clouds, eight coiling dragon stone pillars supported the heavens above—an endless sight. This was indeed the venue for every Star Picking Auction held before: Spirit Square.
Everything radiated with a dark green light from the Spirit Runes. Everyone knew that everything here was constructed from Zhen Yan's Ling Spirit runes. Yet in such a vivid scene, who could claim that their surroundings were not a mere illusion?
In that moment, everyone inexplicably felt the desolate aura of Liquid Chuang, as if it were a unique essence passed down from ancient times. It was reminiscent of the shattered Primordial, the flow of time and space infused with the essence of Liquid Chuang. Time seemed to lose its meaning, and that aura emanated from one person, making them appear utterly out of place in that world.
Gu Ping approached Liu Lao Jiu, looking at him with some confusion. What was wrong? Did he seem different in some way?
Had I broken through again?
Liu Lao Jiu regarded Gu Ping with an expression akin to that of observing a monster. Was this something a normal person could achieve? In just a few short hours apart, it seemed as if Gu Ping had made a significant breakthrough. It was enough to make those who prided themselves on being geniuses feel uneasy.
As everyone marveled at the aura emanating from Gu Ping, Lei Dongyue stood nearby, quietly curling his lips into a smirk as he coldly uttered eight words: "A tree that stands out from the forest will be toppled by the wind."
A breakthrough? No, it was just that he had suddenly thought about Minghong for a moment. Gu Ping shook his head, then noticed how his own aura felt somewhat out of sync with the world around him. He adjusted his mindset and took a deep breath.
Epiphany.
Liu Lao Jiu blurted out the word before quickly closing his mouth. The notion of an epiphany was something he had only heard about; it seemed like something one could only dream of. It was entirely unpredictable—no one knew when they might suddenly experience an epiphany and then advance rapidly in their cultivation. Such occurrences were likely only found in legends.
If it were merely an ordinary breakthrough, it would be one thing, but an epiphany? What kind of talent and opportunity must Gu Ping possess to encounter such a moment and seize that chance? It was enough to incite jealousy in everyone around him.
From the instant Gu Ping appeared in everyone's sight, Liu Lao Jiu had already keenly sensed something remarkable about him. However, he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was at that moment. He understood that this strange atmosphere could only be described as jealousy.
When someone tangible possesses something one has never had, jealousy arises—a desire to obtain what that person has: wealth, strength, status, power. And when that person reaches a certain level of strength, jealousy transforms into envy because people realize they can never reach such heights.
Liu Lao Jiu could see clearly that in the hearts of those around them were three words: "Why him?"
No, why should it be? The person in front of Gu Ping is so light, yet Yuanji is stronger than everyone else present, as if favored by Heaven. Coco has always had a smooth journey, never encountering any bottlenecks along the way.
