In the starry sky, as the paper galaxy continued to fold in half, when it completely disappeared from everyone's sight, in another void, the world before Wang Baole's eyes had suddenly changed.
It was still the vast sea of paper, but it was no longer black but white. As for the sky, the sun, and even the birds and seagulls, they were all familiar paper existences.
A wave of goodwill that came from the will of the entire world also spread out from the world and all living things at this moment. It filled the surroundings of Wang Baole as if it was happy and welcoming him.
The surrounding sea of papers also rippled as if they were worshipping him. This feeling made Wang Baole feel extremely comfortable and close to him, both internally and externally.
"Welcome back to the Graveyard of Stars." Wang Baole turned his head. At this moment, he was no longer in the void, but a boat. The paper effigy in front of him was the one he was familiar with. Now, the paper effigy was turning its head and looking at Wang Baole.
"Senior, how have you been?" Wang Baole took a deep breath and cupped his fists.
The paper human cutout grinned and cupped its fists towards Wang Baole as well. After that, it glided across the paper pulp, breaking through the waves ahead. A gust of wind blew towards him, blowing Wang Baole's hair up. However, it did not leave. Instead, it accompanied him, transforming into a gentle intent that seemed to dance.
Wang Baole smiled. After returning to the Graveyard of Stars, he felt the goodwill of this world. He felt a sense of freedom and security without any restrictions. He simply sat on the deck of the boat and raised his right hand to take out a bottle of ice spirit water. He looked at the world around him and drank it comfortably as if he was drinking wine.
"How can I let a distinguished guest drink alone?" Wang Baole had only drunk a few mouthfuls when a voice echoed around him. As the waves churned again, a paper effigy rose from the sea and walked into the boat step by step until it stopped beside Wang Baole. It raised its right hand and extended it towards Wang Baole.
Although most of the paper effigies looked similar, Wang Baole could already tell at a glance that the paper effigy that was walking over was the first Emperor of the Starfall Empire in his storage bag.
Back when Wang Baole had obtained the Dao Star and left the Starfall Empire, the current Great Emperor had chosen to stay behind in the depths of the paper sea to oversee the resealed mirror vortex.
Looking at the hand of the Great Emperor, Wang Baole stood up with a smile and bowed. Then, he took out a bottle of Ice Spirit Water and handed it over. As for whether the Great Emperor could drink it or not, Wang Baole was not worried. To a supreme being like the Great Emperor, his body was just like clothes. It was important, but also not important.
That was indeed the case. After receiving the Ice Spirit Water, the Paper Effigy Great Emperor raised its head and drank a large mouthful. Just as it was about to sigh as usual after drinking, its expression turned strange. It lowered its head and carefully looked at the Ice Spirit Water in its hand before looking at Wang Baole.
"What is this? Why is it so sweet?"
"Does it taste good? This is my favorite drink. In the entire universe, only the Federation produces it. It's called Ice Spirit Water." Wang Baole blinked and looked at the paper effigy.
The paper effigy was silent for a few breaths as it silently tasted the Ice Spirit Water in its hand. After a long while, it pursed its lips, put it aside, and looked at Wang Baole.
"You came early."
"Senior, you don't seem surprised by my arrival?" Wang Baole smiled when he heard this.
"When you left that day, I had a premonition that you would return here one day to explore the vortex under the sea of paper."
Wang Baole did not speak immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the sea of paper. The vortex at the bottom of the sea of paper was also one of his goals for coming here this time.
He wanted to verify if that vortex was the same as the vortex that had appeared on the three-foot black tree in his first life. However, he did not intend to go now. Everything would have to wait until he had broken through and reached the Star-Grade before he could explore it.
Therefore, after pondering for a while, Wang Baole cupped his fists slightly at the Emperor in front of him.
"I'm here to seek the emperor's and the Star Fall Empire's permission to summon a special planet and … upgrade it to the Eternal Star realm!" Wang Baole's expression was solemn as he stared at the first-generation emperor.
"It's a small matter. How many do you need?" The paper effigy said in a relaxed tone. On one hand, Wang Baole was a benefactor to the Starfall Empire. On the other hand, Wang Baole's background was astonishing. Therefore, the paper effigy naturally would not reject such a request. After all, there were tens of thousands of special stars in the Starfall Empire. Giving away some of them was nothing.
"This … will cost about 10,000?" Wang Baole said softly, a little embarrassed.
After a moment of silence, the paper effigy picked up the bottle of Ice Spirit Water and took a big gulp. "…" It couldn't help but speak.
"Are you sure it's just a Star advancement?"
"I plan to use tens of thousands of special stars as embellishments. Not only will they transform into a starry sky, but they will also serve as a foil for my Dao Star, allowing it to break through and evolve from a planet to a star!" Wang Baole also knew that his request was basically taking away 90% of the Starfall Empire's capital. Therefore, after he finished speaking, he added another sentence.
"If there's anything you need me to do, please tell me. Also … if you can't give me that much, a little … is fine too …"
"If it's less than a thousand, I can make the decision. However, if it's more than ten thousand … I'm no longer in charge of the Starfall Empire anymore. So, even though I want to give it to you, I'm unable to make the decision. The Grand Emperor cleared his throat and looked off into the distance. Wang Baole could tell that something was wrong, and felt a headache coming on. Even as he pondered how to get the Grand Emperor to agree, he looked off into the distance and saw more than a hundred paper people flying through the air toward them.
The paper person in the lead was the current Emperor of the Starfall Empire. His Star Domain fluctuations were powerful and monstrous. He took a step forward and landed on the ship. He smiled at Wang Baole.
Wang Baole greeted him with a smile. Then, he hesitated for a moment and said the same thing as before. The Emperor of the Starfall Empire also hesitated when he heard that. After exchanging glances with the First Laozu, both of them fell silent for a moment. It was obvious that they were in a difficult position and were about to refuse.
However, at that moment … the sky that was originally bright suddenly rumbled. Distorted ripples reverberated in the sky. It was as if a white curtain had been lifted, revealing the black sky!
In the heavens, the light of stars rapidly transformed. When the stars of various levels were added together, the number exceeded a million, and they spread throughout the entire cosmos. Vaguely, the will of the entire Graveyard of Stars seemed to transform into a voice that reverberated in the minds of Wang Baole and the two emperor paper effigies.
"Yes!"
The reverberation of this will caused the two Grand Emperor paper people to involuntarily look at each other again. The current Emperor of the Starfall Empire had an awkward expression.
"Baole, don't blame me for hesitating earlier. It's really …"
"What are you hesitating for? I already said that there's no problem with this matter. Wang Baole is the benefactor of the Starfall Empire. If he asks for something, let alone ten thousand, even if it's a hundred thousand, we're willing. As humans, we have to repay kindness!" The First Emperor paper person, Laozu, was clearly as thick-skinned as he was at his age. Therefore, when he sensed that the will of the entire world had agreed, he immediately spoke sternly as if he was speaking after the fact. At the same time, he also reprimanded his junior.
"Laozu is right to reprimand him." When the current Emperor of the Starfall Empire heard that, he smiled wryly and bowed to the First Emperor. At that moment, the First Emperor coughed and waved his hand.
"Baole, I'll give you this part of the starry sky. I won't ask for anything else. I just hope that if one day you have the strength and opportunity to truly enter that vortex, then take me with you!" His words were very grand, and Wang Baole blinked a few times. Suppressing the urge to laugh, he hastily bowed and thanked the First Emperor. At the same time, he nodded earnestly. After agreeing to this matter, he took a deep breath and, without waiting any longer, shot up into the starry sky!
In the eyes of the surrounding paper people, Wang Baole looked like a shooting star. As he flew through the starry sky, a Dao Star appeared around him.
The Dao Star rapidly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, it reached a terrifying size. The nine Ancient Planets around it also manifested. They seemed to be cheering, but at the same time, they also seemed to be yearning as they followed Wang Baole into the starry sky.
In that instant, the countless stars in the starry sky dimmed, as if they didn't dare to compete with Meng Hao. They seemed to be bowing in greeting, but also seemed to be suppressing their excitement. It was as if they possessed a certain level of intelligence, and could sense … that this was an opportunity for them to transform their stars!
When Wang Baole's silhouette completely merged into the cosmos, his voice suddenly reverberated.
"Everyone, please bear witness to my ascension to the Eternal Star level!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the millions of stars in the starry sky seemed to be excited, and began to shine brightly!
