Starlight blazed brilliantly, as if the entire starry sky was enveloped in radiance.

Multicolored starlight coalesced midair, forming a translucent figure dozens of miles tall.

As the starlight continued gathering, the luminous figure gradually solidified.

This figure astonishingly possessed three heads and six arms, with each of the three faces bearing different expressions!

The front face was featureless—no nose or mouth—holding the phantom image of a mysterious treasure jar within which countless stars seemed to tumble.

The left face appeared gentle, cradling an ancient cauldron that glowed with dazzling spiritual light and emitted treasure qi that soared skyward.

The right face looked ferocious, gripping seven swords—utterly savage with sword energy crisscrossing the air!

At this moment, the demon residents of the demon town all widened their eyes in shock and horror!

Inside the basement.

Twelve skeletal weapons still smashed toward the altar.

This action seemed to draw the attention of the three-faced demonic shadow. The vicious right face tilted slightly, its eyes flashing with seven stars that instantly transformed into seven sword shadows shooting toward the basement.

The sword beams arrived faster than expected, directly repelling the twelve skeletal weapons and sending them flying back. The watching demons suffered as a result—those struck by the bones were either dead or severely injured, their agonized cries filling the area.

The sword beams continued unabated, flying toward the seven skeleton demons.

These seven fourth-tier skeleton demons had no time to react before being struck by the sword beams. Their life force vanished in the blink of an eye, dying instantly!

"What is this thing?!" The skeleton demon captain paled in terror, staring uncertainly at the three-faced shadow.

Xu Da, overjoyed, immediately prostrated himself.

"The leader of the Seven Stars Cult pays homage to the Seven Stars Dao Lord! This humble believer has prepared precious demonic offerings for your enjoyment!"

The massive gentle left face of the three-faced star shadow turned slightly, its benevolent smile calming Xu Da's nerves.

A beam of starlight fell upon the offerings, and in the blink of an eye—with the starlight gone—the offerings had disappeared!

In the Tianyuan Realm, beside Su Yuan's main body, a pile of inexplicable items suddenly appeared—some demon flesh and blood among them, along with demonic artifacts.

He casually sealed them away, then pondered what to give Xu Da in return.

He glanced at the Myriad Treasures Heaven-Earth Cauldron: "I remember there was a fourth-tier spirit treasure called the Soul Gathering Banner, right? Can you recreate it?"

"I can, but I'd need to make a sub-banner first. Once the sub-banner evolves, it can nourish me in return! Are you planning to collect souls? You don't need that now!" Old Qian sounded puzzled.

"Good, good. Quickly make a Soul Gathering sub-banner for me—no, rename it Seven Stars Banner."

"What for? It'll consume my origin energy!" Old Qian grumbled but still expended origin energy and spiritual power to condense a Soul Gathering Banner—no, a Seven Stars Banner.

"Make some third-tier ones too!"

"Third-tier ones are easy—as many as you want." Old Qian replied calmly.

Thus, Su Yuan soon held several Seven Stars Soul Gathering Banners.

Though typically used by demonic cultivators, these banners still relied on spiritual energy as their power source—meaning orthodox cultivators could use them too, albeit at moral cost. The demonic cultivators of Green Vine Continent were essentially unethical spirit cultivators, fundamentally different from the demonic cultivators of other worlds.

Su Yuan's consciousness enveloped these Seven Stars Banners while also gathering some spirit stones, then activated his [World Traveler] ability.

Black Demon Realm.

After collecting the offerings, the three-faced star shadow's gentle left hand glowed as the cauldron it held flashed with treasure light.

The next moment, the light condensed into dozens of streaks that materialized on the altar as dozens of banner-type treasures brimming with spiritual energy. The banners bore patterns of the Big Dipper, appearing profoundly mysterious. Pure spirit stones also appeared, radiating spiritual energy that the demons found highly corrosive.

Xu Da was overjoyed at the sight.

"Many thanks for the Dao Lord's generosity!"

The featureless front face inclined slightly as if casting an enigmatic gaze. A beam of starlight flew from the jar, instantly entering Xu Da's sea of consciousness.

In that instant, vast information flooded his mind.

Xu Da immediately understood what offerings would please the Seven Stars Dao Lord next time, along with how to use and refine the Seven Stars Banners.

The incomplete Seven Stars cultivation method in his mind was also perfected in this moment.

With its mission complete, the three-faced star shadow gradually faded.

"We send off the Dao Lord with reverence!"

Xu Da's expression changed.

He swiftly collected the treasures from the altar, then shouted to the other excited orthodox believers: "Follow me!"

Leading the way, he immediately departed through the underground passage.

The other orthodox believers followed without hesitation, not daring to delay.

The skeleton demon captain's face darkened. Glancing fearfully at the fading but not yet vanished three-faced star shadow, he could only watch helplessly as the Starry Sky Cult—no, now calling themselves the Seven Stars Cult—made their escape.

This was a major dereliction of duty, but he valued his life more.

His seven fallen comrades served as stark warnings against reckless action.

Fortunately, he'd only issued orders earlier rather than acting himself—otherwise he might have shared their fate.

As the starlight dissipated, the night sky darkened again.

But the agonized cries of injured demons around the basement snapped many demons back to reality.

"Seven Stars Dao Lord?"

"Shh! Don't say it—that's an evil god!"

"Those orthodox believers actually communicated with a true god—unbelievable!"

"I saw some mysterious treasures appear on the altar—wonder what they were?"

"They say orthodox believers live several times longer than others at the same realm—true or not?"

"Stop talking! You'll get us killed!"

Commotion spread through the town.

News of these events spread at shocking speed, reaching the demon imperial city within hours and drawing the Demon Emperor's attention.

The Demon Emperor didn't underestimate the reports, having seen recordings of the three-faced divine shadow himself. Taking it extremely seriously, he ordered all demon cities to hunt down remnants of the orthodox sects—whether Starry Sky Cult, Seven Stars Cult, or others—with Seven Stars Cult leader Xu Da listed as a top-priority fugitive.

Simultaneously, all towns were forbidden from spreading Seven Stars Cult teachings, with those discussing the Seven Stars Dao Lord branded as orthodox believers. Though not stated publicly, the Seven Stars Dao Lord was secretly classified as either a true god or evil god to be vehemently opposed.

Yet some demons in the Black Demon Realm grew perversely curious about the banned teachings, secretly beginning to worship the Seven Stars Dao Lord—thus spreading his name deeper into demonic hearts.

Su Yuan's consciousness, carried by strands of thought, appeared throughout the Black Demon Realm.

His understanding of this world grew steadily deeper.

This was clearly a mortal world saturated with demonic energy, where the highest cultivation was eighth-tier. Upon breaking through to eighth-tier, one could ascend to the demon realm.

Eighth-tier demons were equivalent to Tribulation Transcension cultivators, also undergoing demonic tribulations to forge demonic bodies—similar to spirit cultivators.

Su Yuan observed casually while focusing his real attention on the system panel:

[Name]: Su Yuan

[Region]: Black Demon Realm

[Reputation Level]: Famous (7.12m/10m)

[Cultivation]: Fifth-tier mid-stage (50/100)

[Entry 1]: Work-Rest Balance lv2 (3/10): Current rest time: 31 days

[Entry 2]: Daoist Techniques Naturally lv2 (3/10)

[Entry 3]: Seven Stars Shine Bright lv2 (3/10)

[Entry 4]: Mind Echo lv2 (2/10)

[Entry 5]: Great Being's Demeanor lv2 (2/10)

[Entry 6]: Rise to Crisis lv2 (2/10): Lifespan: 111,815 years

[Entry 7]: World Traveler

[Entry 8]: To Be Unlocked

Su Yuan's expression turned peculiar.

He hadn't expected that gaining reputation in another world would upgrade his system entries!

The level 2 Work-Rest Balance effect doubled cultivation efficiency!

Previously, 10 days of rest converted to 1 day of cultivation time. Now at level 2, it still converted to 1 day, but both comprehension and cultivation effects were doubled!

Level 2 Daoist Techniques Naturally doubled his efficiency in perceiving natural laws, making future insights easier.

Level 2 Seven Stars Shine Bright heightened his sensitivity to the Big Dipper, boosting all related techniques. Even his Big Dipper Star Lord's Heaven-Earth Status seemed more refined.

Level 2 Mind Echo made target-locking easier while allowing Su Yuan to project thoughts back—enabling two-way communication.

Level 2 Great Being's Demeanor now simulated both pressure and aura!

Overall, the enhanced entries were pure gains.

His reputation in the Black Demon Realm had skyrocketed because of his "playing god" act—posing as a Dao Lord, with news reaching the world's upper echelons. Their acknowledgment of his status fueled his fame explosion.

But this very suppression made further reputation gains extremely difficult—a top-down clampdown.

Su Yuan didn't mind. This cross-world operation's main value was revealing how reputation gains in other worlds affected his system.

Now he had a reference for future actions—though data from just one world wasn't enough.

Activating his thoughts, Su Yuan's consciousness instantly appeared in another world.

While activating the Black Demon Realm connection, he'd also linked to other worlds through the Big Dipper.

Arriving in this new world, Su Yuan found it remarkably small—barely larger than a secret realm, housing only hundreds of thousands of humans who naturally resonated with starlight, cultivating with stellar energy.

Their strongest cultivators only reached third-tier.

Su Yuan spent some effort quickly boosting his reputation until his fame spread worldwide.

His reputation level here jumped directly from "Somewhat Famous" to "World-Renowned"—maxing out immediately!

Only the first three entries gained experience—the rest missed out, let alone unlocking new entries.

Exploring these two worlds elevated Su Yuan's understanding of the entry system.

Pondering future directions, he mused:

"Worlds like the Black Demon Realm seem rare, while lower-tier worlds like this Star Spirit Realm are plentiful. Maybe I can have Seven Stars Sect disciples spread my fame instead of doing it myself. This tiny Star Spirit Realm took nearly a month—exhausting!"
