The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 1016: Decided to Stay

"We are in the Velikan Forest on the eastern side of the Gardum Kingdom. More specifically, this is Arsun village, inside the territory of the Beruin family, a noble family led by Marquess Beruin," Valuk replied.

Aldrian did not know where that was, so he continued.

"My apologies, but I think I need to be more specific. What is the name of the world we are currently in, and how far is this world from the central region of heaven?"

Valuk raised his eyebrows. "We are in the Revitas World. As for the central region of heaven?" Valuk narrowed his eyes.

"I don’t know the distance, but isn’t that the place where the devils’ headquarters is located? Sometimes I hear about it from the talk in the town. A place where the leaders of the devils reside." He then looked at Aldrian.

"Young Master, why are you asking about that place? That place is dangerous and is said to be the source of evil."

Hearing that, Aldrian felt slightly relieved because the name Central Region of Heaven was still known in this place. At least this world was not some distant world that did not know of the existence of the central region of heaven.

"Well, I’m actually on my journey to the central region of heaven to get rid of the evil," Aldrian replied after he swallowed another spoonful of soup.

Valuk was stunned upon hearing the answer. From the questions Aldrian had asked earlier, Valuk knew that Aldrian did not come from this world.

He had sometimes heard about cultivators from other worlds when he visited the town, but he had never seen one.

It seemed that this was the first time he had seen one. And for Aldrian to want to go to the central region of heaven, were people from other worlds always this reckless?

To get rid of the evil? Was he saying that he would make a journey to that dangerous place and fight alone?

If it were that easy, then he would never have heard the despairing stories in the town about how the alliance troops were slowly losing ground in this world.

It was said that many of the devils that came to this world came from that place. Their strength was extraordinary and was said to have already conquered many nearby worlds.

"Excuse me, Young Master, but are you not from this world?" Valuk asked, just to confirm what he had already guessed.

Aldrian nodded. "Yes, I’m not from this world, and I was on my journey to the central region of heaven when some misfortune befell me, which made me end up gravely wounded."

"My apologies, Young Master, but I think you should reconsider your intent. I know Young Master is a pseudo immortal establishment stage cultivator, but facing the devils in the central region of heaven requires much more firepower and manpower," Valuk said.

"I don’t know if you already know about this, but I heard from the talk in the town that the devils from that place are truly strong, which has caused the troops of this world to keep getting pushed back. The devils from that place are said to have already conquered the nearby worlds and have been trying to take our world for some time now. And the stories I keep hearing are only getting worse," he added.

Aldrian inwardly felt another sense of relief because, from Valuk’s words, this world was under direct attack by the devils of the central region of heaven. That meant this world was at least much closer to the central region of heaven compared to the Ancient Blue Gate World.

But he needed to confirm it later, when he could find a much better source of information.

"Thank you for the advice, Sir Valuk, but I already know who my opponents are and how strong they are. And I have a personal reason that makes me need to reach that place," Aldrian said.

Valuk sighed. "Then I will not keep persuading you, Young Master. I hope that you succeed."

Aldrian smiled and nodded before he took another spoonful of soup.

"Big brother, are you really strong? Could you cut a mountain like Grandpa told me about those strong figures?" Ella suddenly asked. She had only been listening to the two adults talk earlier and did not really understand the topic, but hearing how Aldrian seemed to want to fight intrigued her.

"Ella, don’t be impolite to Young Master," Valuk said.

"It’s okay, Sir Valuk. I don’t find it wrong. Please don’t be too hard on Ella," Aldrian said, then looked at Ella with a smile.

"Big brother is strong. Big brother can cut a mountain and many things, and can even make Ella fly."

Ella’s eyes glimmered, and she showed a happy smile. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Could you really make Ella fly?" she asked. Aldrian responded with a nod.

"Then could you make Ella fly after this?" Ella asked once again.

"Of course I can."

"Yay!" Ella shouted happily, which made Valuk sigh.

"My apologies, Young Master, for Ella bothering you with this."

"It’s okay, Sir Valuk. Ella already saved my life, and this is the least I can do for her," Aldrian said with a smile.

Not long after that, they finished their meal, and Ella brought Aldrian outside. Before they went out, Aldrian created his domain there, then teleported a storage ring into his grasp before wearing it. He then took out a plain robe from the storage ring and put it on.

He had not worn any storage ring before entering the teleportation gate, just in case what he worried about happened, and it truly did happen.

If he were trapped in chaotic space while wearing a storage ring, the ring could destabilize and might throw everything inside out. He did not want to lose many of his valuable items inside the void.

Once he thought he was already safe, he could simply do what he had just done. He created a domain and then picked his stuff from his other domain.

As Aldrian finally stepped outside the house, he looked around the village. The villagers turned to look at him when they saw a stranger walking around, guided by Ella. The villagers had already heard that Valuk had brought a wounded stranger into his house for treatment.

Some of them worried that the stranger could bring them trouble, so some had urged Valuk not to treat Aldrian, but Valuk kept insisting, and they could only relent. Valuk was someone of high status in the village, so they could not say much once he had already made his decision.

However, because their village had never had any stranger staying there before, they were naturally curious about Aldrian.

Moreover, with how handsome he was and the noble aura surrounding him, he quickly became the center of attention.

Aldrian showed them a smile, which made the villagers feel comfortable and less tense when they saw him. They were hesitant to greet him, afraid that they might offend him, but just from his smile, they started to think that Aldrian was a friendly person.

Some started to greet Aldrian and asked about his condition, while others observed in silence. Aldrian, of course, interacted with the villagers kindly. Some children in the village also started to gather around him.

Ella, who had become Aldrian’s guide, could not help but feel smug as she talked to the other kids.

"Big brother will make me fly after this, so you better step aside and don’t disturb me," Ella said.

"Woah, is that true?" one of the kids asked in astonishment before he looked at Aldrian. "Mister, could you make me fly too? I want to fly as well."

"Me too, Mister, me too."

"Me too." The kids started to ask one by one, which made Aldrian smile at them. Before he could say anything, a man walked toward them.

"Hush, hush. Don’t be impolite. Mister is wounded, don’t disturb him," the man said.

Aldrian looked at the middle aged man wearing a sleeveless shirt and carrying a large wooden container on his back. He had short black hair and a firm build, showing that his body was used to physical labor.

On his left arm, there was bandaging that showed he was wounded.

The man also had baron stage cultivation, which was impressive in this village. Since earlier, as Aldrian observed the village, most of the villagers were normal mortals without cultivation.

Only a few had cultivation, with the highest being Valuk. The man in front of him was the second strongest here.

"Village head," some of the kids said.

Aldrian, who finally knew who the man was, smiled at him.

"Ah, it’s no worry, Sir. Just let them be, they are only kids," he said.

The village head sighed and smiled at the kids. "My apologies for these kids’ behavior, Sir," he then looked at Aldrian. "Ah, please let me introduce myself. I’m the village head, Rokan."

"You can just call me Aldrian, Village Head," Aldrian replied.

Rokan nodded with a smile. "Then I will call you Young Master Aldrian. I thought Young Master must be from a noble family."

"Ah, I’m just a wanderer in the middle of his journey, nothing more," Aldrian replied, but Rokan only smiled and observed Aldrian’s body once more.

"It looks like you have already recovered," he said, his gaze showing amazement at the sight of Aldrian’s limbs having already regrown and how healthy he seemed.

"When we found you with Physician Valuk, you had lost an arm and a leg, and your body was full of fatal wounds. It’s truly a miracle that you could recover this quickly."

"Well, this is truly my luck, for I was found by Ella and could make a full recovery," Aldrian said.

Rokan nodded. "Oh, I have to go first. I need to go to the town quickly and sell these herbs," he said while gesturing toward the container on his back.

"I hope Young Master enjoys your time here, even though our village does not have much to offer."

"I will surely enjoy this village, Village Head. Thank you for letting me stay here," Aldrian replied before they separated.

Aldrian and Ella continue their stroll, followed by the other kids. Aldrian still needs to learn many things about this place, so he decides that staying here for now is best.
