He spoke using the power of his Thunder Spirit Giant avatar.

His voice resounded throughout the entire Tianyuan Realm!

Whether it was the newly formed continents or the original Green Vine Continent.

Countless living beings were shocked beyond measure.

Within the demonic sects, numerous demonic cultivators turned pale with fright. The sixth-grade spirit treasure was already outrageous enough, but now a Great Ascension Realm cultivator appearing - what were they trying to pull?

Moreover, did they intend to rename the entire world?

Such an action left countless beings utterly astonished.

In the skies of Tianyuan Realm.

A layer of golden clouds rapidly manifested.

Within these golden clouds, a majestic, towering, emotionless will of the Heavenly Dao condensed into form.

Su Yuan could see countless threads of natural laws overlapping, forming a net-like structure, layer upon layer of legal webs stacking until they resembled an eyeball.

The Heavenly Dao's will seemed to glance at the Thunder Spirit Giant avatar.

Then a thought reverberated throughout the world.

"Approved!"

A thunderous proclamation echoed across Tianyuan Realm!

From its core to its outermost reaches, the world's name was changed in this instant!

Countless living beings seemed to mysteriously receive this information.

Tianyuan Realm was renamed Seven Stars Realm!

It actually worked!

Countless beings began chanting Su Yuan's name!

A sea of reputation points came surging in.

Su Yuan's reputation as the Supreme Overlord of a Realm skyrocketed!

[Ding, level increased!]

[Ding, reputation level has reached the current world's level cap]

Su Yuan glanced at his reputation points but wasn't in a hurry to select new traits yet.

He turned his attention to the Thunder Spirit Giant, where the Heavenly Dao was undergoing further changes!

Within the golden clouds.

A seal was gradually taking shape.

Su Yuan's pupils constricted - he recognized that object, as he had one in his consciousness sea!

Heaven-Earth Status!

This wasn't a divine position, but rather Heaven-Earth Status!

Under Su Yuan's astonished gaze.

The Heavenly Dao seemed to reach a decision.

That cyan Heaven-Earth Status instantly descended from the heavens, merging into the core of the Thunder Spirit Giant avatar and fusing with the Second Nascent Soul.

Heaven-Earth Status - [Seven Stars Supreme]!

The "Seven Stars" here didn't refer to the Big Dipper, but rather to the Seven Stars Realm!

Possessing this status was equivalent to becoming the ruler of Seven Stars Realm, equal in standing to the Heavenly Dao itself!

This was similar to the previously seen trait [Heaven's Proxy], but went even further!

This wasn't acting on behalf of heaven - he now possessed this status himself!

The Heavenly Dao was placing him on equal footing!

What a grand gesture!

Was this something an emotionless, selfless, impartial Heavenly Dao would do?

There must be some major catch here!

"Crap, the Heavenly Dao is clinging to me, trying to bind me to it! Good thing it's just the Second Nascent Soul."

Su Yuan sighed quietly but didn't refuse this generous gift.

This was a Supreme Status, the highest status a world could offer. In other words, he could now be called the Lord of Seven Stars Realm!

Now even the Heavenly Dao couldn't control him!

"Though you've given me this benefit, if danger comes that I can't handle, I'll still have to flee!" Su Yuan declared to the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao didn't respond but instead dissipated on its own, its will merging back into heaven and earth without a trace.

But Su Yuan was now the [Seven Stars Supreme] - he could summon the Seven Stars Realm's Heavenly Dao at will, while also borrowing some of its powers, such as calling down heavenly punishment, adjusting the intensity of heavenly tribulations, altering terrain, determining the direction of world advancement, and more.

"I wonder if renaming will help Seven Stars Realm avoid detection by the Thunder Giants."

Su Yuan muttered to himself.

He genuinely didn't know if this method would work, but he intended to try it. If it worked, great;

if not, there was nothing more he could do.

Only now did he have time to check his system panel.

[Name]: Su Yuan

[Location]: Seven Stars Realm

[Level]: Supreme Overlord of a Realm (10e/10e)

[Realm]: Early Nascent Soul (20/100)

[Trait 1]: Work-Life Balance lv3 (71/100): Current rest time: 32 days

[Trait 2]: Daoist Techniques Naturally lv3 (13/100)

[Trait 3]: Seven Stars Shine Bright lv3 (1/100)

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

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

[Trait 6]: Rise to Crisis lv2 (2/10): Lifespan: 232,071 years

[Trait 7]: World Traveler lv2 (2/10)

[Trait 8]: Corridor of Time lv2 (2/10)

[Trait 9]: To be selected

Su Yuan examined his traits. Work-Life Balance had already reached level three and wasn't far from level four. The Seven Stars Disciples sent to other worlds had more or less spread his reputation, and the first level of reputation points was the easiest to achieve. It was normal for Trait 1 to reach level three, and even Trait 3 [Seven Stars Shine Bright] had barely made it to level three.

The effects at level three were twice as potent as level two, showing significant improvement.

Su Yuan focused on Trait 9 and mentally selected it, causing three lines of text to appear:

[Transcend Mundanity]: Sever all worldly ties, achieving a supremely detached mental state

[Tempered in Mundane Fires]: Experience all worldly affairs to automatically elevate mental state

[Breakthrough in Crisis]: Reach mental breakthroughs at every life-and-death juncture

Looking at these three traits, Su Yuan was slightly stunned.

Unexpectedly, for the ninth trait, instead of granting some divine ability or power, it focused on strengthening mental state.

This was something Su Yuan had previously overlooked. In many ways, mental state was the most difficult to improve. Many cultivators became stuck at mental bottlenecks they couldn't overcome.

Among these three traits, the first and third were too extreme.

The first resembled the Path of Supreme Detachment, which didn't suit a worldly person like Su Yuan. He had no desire to become emotionless.

As for the third, only breaking through at life-and-death moments was pointless. Su Yuan felt that waiting until a crisis to improve was too late - why not improve normally?

The second trait was perfect.

His Mind Echo could take him through many experiences, naturally elevating his mental state.

"Select [Tempered in Mundane Fires]!" Su Yuan confirmed.

The moment he made his choice, this trait was incorporated into his system panel.

Now, Su Yuan's trait system was completely constructed!

Nine traits, nine great abilities, complementing each other and capable of elevating Su Yuan to unimaginable heights!

Finally feeling at ease, Su Yuan took out a book and began reading seriously.

"Long-Eared Race Divine Ability Secret Records: Volume One"

Su Yuan flipped through the pages with interest.

This book recorded seven secret divine abilities of a minor race called the Long-Eared Race, whose strongest member only reached Earth Immortal realm - though Earth Immortal was actually a respectable immortal realm. Surprisingly, they had seven divine ability legacies!

Reading the first volume, Su Yuan found a divine ability called "Eavesdropper's Ear."

"This technique is incredibly profound, ultimately comprehending the laws of wind and sound. The combination of these two laws forms this divine ability. Tsk tsk, even with my current talent, I still can't fully understand it. No wonder they were exterminated - poor rating."

After flipping through a few pages, Su Yuan realized these were racial divine abilities developed specifically for the Long-Eared Race's characteristics, which greatly diminished his interest.

Still, he skimmed through it as casual entertainment.

Time flowed swiftly by as Su Yuan casually read.

In the blink of an eye, ten years passed.

On this day.

Outside the Black Demon Realm, on an island, a teleportation light suddenly flashed.

The Thunder Giant stepped out with a gloomy expression.

"How could that junior Lei Yuanqing, not even at Immortal Realm, possibly infiltrate the dragon's territory at Dragon Transformation Island? The dragon clan is utterly unreasonable!"

The Thunder Giant was frustrated. Apart from receiving some resources from his master, he hadn't gained any greater benefits.

Fortunately, after all these years guarding Tianyuan Realm, if there were no merits, there was at least hard work.

His master permitted him to switch posts, allowing another race to take over guarding Tianyuan Realm.

The Thunder Giant looked back at the teleportation array.

With another flash of light.

Another figure appeared - a strange creature covered in thick fur that seemed to be aflame.

"Red-Haired Ghost, this will be your new post! You just need to crush any ascendants from Tianyuan Realm. If anything unusual happens in Tianyuan Realm, deal with it appropriately - just don't anger the Heavenly Dao!"

The Red-Haired Ghost ignored the nickname the Thunder Giant gave him. Frowning, he looked beyond the island into the skies below and asked suspiciously, "Are you sure that's Tianyuan Realm down there?"

"Of course! How many years have I guarded it?"

The Thunder Giant instinctively looked down.

Then his stone face showed confusion.

He walked to the island's edge to look down and was completely dumbfounded.

"What's going on?" The Thunder Giant looked left, then right.

He was utterly flabbergasted!

The Red-Haired Ghost looked at him strangely: "This is the result of your many years of guarding? Impressive - you even changed the world's fundamental nature!"

"Wait, no! This can't be!" The Thunder Giant roared.

He quickly performed divination on the world below.

"World name... Black Demon Realm?" The Thunder Giant's mind short-circuited again.

"You'll need to explain this to the master!" The Red-Haired Ghost shook his head and stepped back into the teleportation array, returning immediately.

"No, wait!"

Seeing the Red-Haired Ghost disappear, the Thunder Giant couldn't contain his agitation.

He impulsively approached the heavenly boundary.

Suddenly, within Black Demon Realm, chains of natural law materialized out of nowhere, blocking his path.

"Scram!"

The Thunder Giant slammed down violently.

His massive icy-blue palm collided with the Heavenly Dao's laws.

BOOM!

The tremendous destructive force shattered the law chains link by link.

Across Black Demon Realm, numerous earth veins ruptured.

The heavens and earth split open with dozens of massive gashes filled with terrifying thunder energy.

However, Black Demon Realm had powerful backing too!

The moment the Thunder Giant struck, he realized his mistake.

Beyond the heavens, an enormous dark shadow came rushing over!

A black cloud condensed directly above the Thunder Giant's head!

"Demon Realm's Heavenly Dao!" The Thunder Giant's expression changed drastically.

Without another word, he immediately charged into the teleportation array.

Just as the teleportation light flashed.

A black lightning bolt struck down from the black cloud.

Despite being a Thunder Giant with innate lightning resistance, he was still severely wounded by that single strike!

Fortunately, the teleportation activated successfully, and the Thunder Giant escaped.

However, the black lightning still struck the island.

The incredibly sturdy island was now covered with dense cracks.

With its target gone, the Demon Realm's Heavenly Dao dissipated, and the island began repairing itself.

But shortly after, a terrifying demonic figure radiating overwhelming power appeared outside the island.

Seeing the island, the demonic figure immediately declared sternly: "How dare those from the Immortal Realm abandon their Observation Platform in my Demon Realm's territory? This is outrageous! The Immortal Realm has violated our agreement and encroached upon our lands!"

Yet as he spoke, his tone gradually filled with excited bloodlust.
