The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 943: That’s Why Many Regard Him as a God

Aldrian and his avatar then landed on the cruiser, where Patriarch Geodard and the others were still gazing at him with amazement. No, amazement was an understatement. They looked at him as if he were their savior, their hero. He was the man who would flip the war situation of this world.

This included some people who had still doubted Aldrian since his avatar came to this world a few days ago. Now, their gazes had changed entirely. There was no doubt left at all. With that kind of display of power, there was no way they could remain unaffected. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Some even felt fear, as they were afraid that Aldrian might be offended by their doubts toward him over the past few days.

They could only hope that Aldrian did not keep their doubts in his heart and that he would let bygones be bygones.

"Your Majesty, thank you for your help. Truly, I am surprised that my heart is still beating fast after what Your Majesty just did. That was a great display of power. My eyes have truly been opened. I did not know that such power could exist," Alric said as he cupped his hands and slightly bowed his head.

The others followed with the same gesture, which made Aldrian smile. He waved his hand.

"No problem. You may continue advancing and strike deeper into the devils’ territory. With only two out of the six Stars of Destruction left, your troops can safely attack many devil bases in the southern region of the Serlan Continent. Let my avatar continue moving with you. As for me, I will strike in another direction, where their higher-ups at the pseudo-immortal stage are staying.

"My target today is to destroy some of their strategic locations across the continent and let the alliance troops handle the rest. With that, you will finally be able to retake the entire continent in at most two weeks."

Alric and Patriarch Geodard were stunned when they heard that Aldrian would strike in another direction. This was the first time they heard of a plan for the clone to move much deeper into devil territory alone.

Or so they thought, as they still believed Aldrian to be a clone.

However, they caught one detail that made their minds explode once again.

"’My avatar,’ Your Majesty?" Patriarch Geodard said in a trembling voice. "Then are you...?"

Aldrian continued smiling and nodded. "I am the real one."

The others widened their eyes in shock. This was the real body of Aldrian the Great?! How was that possible? Was he not supposed to be in the Ancient Blue Gate World? That was a five-month journey using an interstellar vessel from here, yet he was already present in this world.

"Anyway, I will go first. It would be better if I can reach my targets for today as soon as possible. I don’t want to keep my wife waiting for too long. If you have anything to say to me, you can simply say it to my avatar," Aldrian said before his body disappeared.

The others remained speechless even after Aldrian’s figure vanished. Then, at the same time, they turned to look at Patriarch Geodard. Their eyes seemed to say the same thing.

Did you bring Aldrian the Great to this world without us knowing, while keeping up the act with Aldrian the Great’s clone?

As if knowing what was going through everyone’s minds, Patriarch Geodard shook his head and waved his hands at the same time.

"No, I swear to the heavens that he did not follow me back and that he only sent his avatar. There is no way I could hide it if Aldrian the Great himself followed me back," he said, but then he looked at the avatar, who appeared completely unbothered.

"My apologies, Your Majesty, if I said something presumptuous." He cupped his hands and the avatar waved his hand.

"It’s fine. You may converse among yourselves. I will stay in my cabin," he said as he walked away and entered the cruiser.

After the avatar’s figure disappeared from their sight, one of the men turned to look at Patriarch Geodard.

"Then are you telling me that Aldrian the Great’s real body teleported directly from his world to this place? Are you serious?" one of the peak pseudo immortal stage cultivators asked with irritation.

Being questioned like that, Patriarch Geodard became exasperated. "What purpose would I have in lying or putting on such a charade? To surprise you? What do you think this is? A birthday?" he said before taking a deep breath.

"I know this sounds absurd, but I believe Aldrian the Great truly teleported from the Ancient Blue Gate World to this world just now. Did you not see how he appeared in casual robes, as if he were simply enjoying his time at home? That might be the reason he appeared here dressed like that."

He then scratched his head. "Anyway, there is a saying that I always heard whenever I asked about Aldrian the Great’s information in the Ancient Blue Gate World. It goes like this: never place the standards of cultivation knowledge or any form of common sense on Aldrian the Great if you do not want to go crazy. He is someone who constantly overturns common knowledge and does things that no one would ever imagine, to the point that you begin to question his very existence. That’s why many regard him as a god."

Hearing that, the others truly did not know what to think. After witnessing Aldrian’s strength with their own eyes, they knew the rumors were true. He was someone far beyond their level of understanding. Even after unleashing such a terrifying technique, he still appeared completely fine and even said that he would strike deeper into devil territory.

Such words would sound overly exaggerated if applied to anyone else, but when it came to Aldrian the Great, there might be some truth to them.

Alric released a sigh. "Anyway, let us continue our journey. We cannot waste the opportunity that Aldrian the Great has given us. With only two out of the six Stars of Destruction left, we practically face no major obstacles. I even believe those two will choose to hide after witnessing His Majesty’s power, which will give us an advantage in the long run."

The others did not comment further. Soon after, they continued their journey toward the deeper regions of devil territory.

--------------------------------

Later that day, Aldrian was already visiting several of the devils’ large bases, where tens of millions of devils were stationed, along with many of their higher-ups. The regions he liberated from the devils were extensive, and he had already killed many pseudo immortal stage cultivators.

As he battled, he was quite astonished by the number of pseudo immortal stage cultivators he encountered. Their numbers were unusually high for the scale of a single world invasion. It was no wonder that the inhabitants of this world had been continuously pushed back to their current state.

Later, as he slaughtered more devils, he obtained information that revealed the reason behind it.

This was the first time the devils had invaded the White Ring Star Cluster on such a large scale, and the first world they targeted was the Blue Pearl World. The devils from the nearby star clusters had sent many high-ranking cultivators here to seize the world as quickly as possible.

If not for the fierce resistance of this world’s inhabitants, the world might have fallen long ago. Fortunately, this world possessed many powerful cultivators, which was also the reason the devils had been unable to conquer it swiftly.

Aside from information about the devils attacking this world, he also obtained another piece of interesting information.

These devils would receive no reinforcements until an undetermined time. The devils of this world would have to take the entire planet without relying on any external support.

Looking at the situation, he knew that the devils of this world could indeed achieve such an outcome, as the overall strength of the devils here was sufficient for it. The inhabitants of this world had already lost many of their powerful cultivators.

With the number of pseudo-immortal stage cultivators being fewer than the devils’, it was only a matter of time before the world fell.

Well, that would only be the case if he had not come.

Now, why had the reinforcements for this world stopped?

That was because it had something to do with the Vampire King. He had used a code that caused a large portion of his devil army to march with him toward an unknown location.

This forced many of the devils in the southern part of the First Heaven to remain on standby and avoid long-distance travel, just in case the Vampire King needed them.

They would have to wait for the next order from the Vampire King before moving.

Even without looking further into the details, Aldrian knew where the Vampire King had gone. He must be on his way to the Ancient Blue Gate World, or if not, then he would first head to the Northern Star clusters before going there.

The moment Aldrian confirmed this, a smile appeared on his face. His guess had been correct. The Vampire King was coming to him personally.

At this moment, Aldrian was standing in the middle of a destroyed fortress. Corpses of devils were scattered everywhere, while rubble from collapsed buildings filled his surroundings. Flames still engulfed the ruins, clearly showing the disaster that had struck this place not long ago.

In Aldrian’s grasp, he was choking a peak pseudo immortal stage devil. The devil had already lost both of his arms, and his face was covered in blood. He gritted his teeth as he glared at Aldrian with his red eyes.

"You will regret this. His Majesty, the Vampire King, will—"

Crack!

Before the devil could finish his words, Aldrian crushed his neck, killing him instantly.

He threw the devil aside like trash before releasing a sigh.

"Well, that is it for today," he said as he looked around his surroundings. He nodded to himself, then disappeared.

His body returned to the cultivation room of the royal palace. The Ancient Blue Gate World had a much slower flow of time compared to the Blue Pearl World, so he appeared there when the sun was already close to setting.

He looked down at his robe to check for any stains. After making sure there were none, he stepped out of the cultivation room.
