Nie Tian stared blankly at the mysterious man. His mouth hung open, but he couldn't speak.
Everything that was happening in front of him was too confusing, and he was completely confused.
The mysterious man had said that the totem was his nascent spirit.
Now he was kneeling in front of Nie Tian, calling himself an Emissary of the Stars, and calling Nie Tian the Starry Sky Holy Lord.
Just what was going on?
"Senior, surely you haven't mistaken me for someone else?" Nie Tian stood rooted to the spot for a long time. Then, with a grim expression, he said, "I have nothing to do with the Star Domain Lord you mentioned."
As he spoke, Nie Tian motioned for the mysterious man to stand up.
"Nie Tian, you are the one chosen by the Primal Star Stone." The mysterious man rose to his feet, his expression returning to normal. "You are not the Starry Sky Holy Lord yet, but you will be in the future!"
"Primal Star Stone?" Upon hearing these words, Nie Tian's pupils contracted slightly as he asked, "Are you saying that because I have Origin Star Stones in me, I'm the Star God Sect's Saint Lord?"
"Yes." The mysterious man nodded. "The Primal Star Stone is the cornerstone of the Starry Sky Holy World. The one chosen by it is the Starry Sky Holy Lord."
"Uh...." Nie Tian didn't know what to say. Then he suddenly remembered something. "Senior, didn't you just say that the Starry Sky Holy World no longer exists? Then there shouldn't be a Starry Sky Holy Lord, right? "
The mysterious man's expression turned solemn when he heard Nie Tian's words. "The Starry Sky Holy World no longer exists, but the Primal Star Stone is still here."
"You are the one chosen by the cornerstone of the Starry Sky Holy World. Therefore, you will inherit the will of the previous Starry Sky Holy Lord, and rebuild the Starry Sky Holy World!"
Nie Tian's eyes lit up as he exclaimed, "Rebuild the Star Saint Realm?"
The mysterious man's words were too grandiose. He couldn't accept them.
He was just a weakling who had just become a Paramount God.
The mysterious man wanted him to rebuild the Starry Sky Holy World? Was he joking?
Up until now, he still couldn't figure out what was going on in front of him.
"Nie Tian, rebuilding the Starry Sky Holy Realm is your responsibility. You can't shirk it!" The mysterious person looked at Nie Tian with steely eyes and a solemn expression.
Nie Tian's eyes flickered. He felt that his mind was a little empty, and he couldn't think straight.
He felt that he had inexplicably gained a sacred and great identity, the Star Saint Lord.
Because of this identity, he had to rebuild a sacred world!
Moreover, this matter was his responsibility, and he could not shirk it!
This joke was a little too much, and Nie Tian couldn't accept it.
"Nie Tian, there are some things that cannot be avoided." At this moment, the mysterious man spoke again, "It's just like how I can't escape my identity as the Starry Sky Messenger."
"I will stay by your side and protect you with my life!"
Nie Tian let out a long sigh. What the mysterious man said was too big. He needed time to accept it slowly.
But he already understood the gist of the story.
A long time ago, there was a Starry Sky Holy Realm, and the Primal Star Stone was the cornerstone of the Starry Sky Holy Realm.
But for some unknown reason, the Starry Sky Holy Realm no longer existed, and the Primal Star Stone disappeared along with it.
Then, due to a strange combination of factors, the Primal Star Stone chose Nie Tian and became one with Nie Tian.
Because of this, Nie Tian became the Star Saint Lord and shouldered the responsibility of rebuilding the Starry Sky Holy Realm.
Actually, Nie Tian wasn't running away from anything. He just felt that rebuilding a sacred world was too far away for him.
He was only an early-stage Paramount God, and he couldn't even see the threshold of becoming a Saint.
Given his strength, how could he rebuild a sacred world?
"Don't worry, Nie Tian." The mysterious man seemed to have guessed what Nie Tian was thinking. "Your mission now is to live well.
As long as you live, there is hope to rebuild the Starry Sky Holy Realm.
We've waited for millions of years. Of course we'll keep waiting. "
Nie Tian nodded slightly. Since things had come to this, he had no choice but to accept it.
Suddenly, something occurred to him. He looked at the mysterious man and asked, "Senior, if, I say if, I die, does that mean there's no hope to rebuild the Starry Sky Holy Realm?"
"Do you want to hear the truth?" The mysterious man asked with a laugh.
"Of course." Nie Tian nodded, his eyes burning.
"No." The mysterious man's eyes narrowed. "If you die, the Primal Star Stone will continue to exist and continue to search for the next person suitable to be the Star Saint Lord.
"The Primal Star Stone will accompany the chosen person as they grow, until that person becomes the true Star Saint Lord."
Nie Tian's face darkened when he heard the mysterious man's words.
So he wasn't that special or important.
The Primal Star Stone was the most important thing in rebuilding the Starry Sky Holy Realm.
As long as the Primal Star Stone existed, it would continue to search for the next Star Saint Lord.
At that moment, Nie Tian felt like he had been used by the Primal Star Stone.
"Nie Tian, do you know how long it's been since the Starry Sky Holy Realm collapsed?" The mysterious man suddenly looked at Nie Tian and asked.
"I don't know." Nie Tian shook his head.
"Almost five million years." The mysterious man nodded.
"That's a long time!" Nie Tian exclaimed. He hadn't expected that.
The mysterious man smiled and asked, "Do you know how many Star Saint Lords the Primal Star Stone has chosen over the past five million years?"
"I don't know." Nie Tian shook his head again.
"One." The mysterious man stared at Nie Tian solemnly and said, "You're the only one chosen by the Primal Star Stone in the past five million years!"
Nie Tian went blank for a moment before his eyes flickered. "The only one!"
He had thought that the Primal Star Stone would have chosen many Star Saint Lords.
Unfortunately, those who had been chosen had all died.
That was why it was his turn now.
But now it seemed that he was quite special.
After all, he was the only one chosen by the Primal Star Stone in the past five million years.
"Nie Tian, you should know by now how important you are." The mysterious man nodded and said, "If you die, I'm afraid we'll have to wait another five million years."
"Now that you mention it, I'm quite special." Nie Tian laughed. He couldn't help but feel proud.
"Senior, could it be that you …" Nie Tian suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise, "have lived for five million years?"
The mysterious man had said that if Nie Tian died, he would have to wait another five million years.
Didn't that mean that the mysterious man had waited for five million years?
Could a normal martial artist live for five million years?
As far as Nie Tian knew, a peak Supreme God could live for five to six hundred thousand years.
A more talented martial artist could live for two to three hundred thousand years, but not more than a million years.
He couldn't believe that the mysterious man had lived for five million years.
