C35 The World Was Overturned

"Eh, there it is again—that sensation." Hanyu Xiaotian's gaze suddenly shifted toward a profoundly distant void within the starry expanse of the Scripture Pavilion.

Upon his initial entry into the Scripture Pavilion, he had sensed something calling to him from the shadows, a feeling so faint it vanished as quickly as it came. He had dismissed it as a trick of the mind, but now the sensation returned, growing ever more distinct.

"Could it be in that direction? I wonder how much time I've spent merging with the Peacock Ming Wang Sutra. Time is of the essence." Hanyu Xiaotian felt an instinctual pull toward the entity that beckoned him, suspecting it to be of paramount importance in his life. With his path of "Spirit and Qi" severed, this mysterious thing might just be the long-awaited key to unlocking his divine power.

Deep within the Scripture Pavilion lay a space so vast and immeasurable, devoid of light and any Martial Arts Stars, as if it were a sacred, forbidden zone within the Pavilion's cosmic martial expanse.

For a millennium, no disciple undergoing the Hanyu Family's trials had ever reached this place. Yet, with Hanyu Xiaotian's arrival, a faint light had flickered into existence in this obscure void, only to vanish shortly after. Soon, the light reappeared, growing in intensity until the vastness itself could no longer contain its brilliance.

The light pulsed, expanding and contracting as if sending enigmatic signals into the distance, broadcasting an urgent summons to some entity.

After what seemed an eternity, Hanyu Xiaotian had traversed an innumerable array of Martial Arts Stars, feeling as though he had crossed an entire galaxy. From a sky once teeming with stars to a sparse celestial field, and now to a complete void—if not for the call growing stronger, he might have doubted his path.

"Am I being lured out of the Scripture Pavilion by some force? How mortifying that would be," he mused, half-jokingly, as he hastened onward. Suddenly, he felt as if he had passed through a "membrane," and before him appeared a "sun."

"You have finally arrived!" A voice, grand and resonant, pierced straight into Hanyu Xiaotian's soul.

"I have waited a thousand years. Today, at last, the legacy shall be passed on. Merge with me, successor!"

With an explosive sound that seemed to cleave the heavens, Hanyu Xiaotian, still stunned, lost consciousness...

Upon awakening, Hanyu Xiaotian was astounded. He found himself within his own mind once more, but what truly astonished him was the cosmos of stars he knew so well.

A colossal transformation had occurred within his mind: the tens of thousands of previously illuminated stars had multiplied exponentially. Vast regions of once dim stars now blazed with astonishing luminescence. With a mere thought, Hanyu Xiaotian realized that over a million stars had been ignited!

They orbited in a specific pattern, with some significantly larger stars bursting forth with halos akin to solar flares. Around some of the larger stars, satellites of varying numbers appeared, each revolving in their designated orbits around their primary stars.

The most astonishing development was the sudden, irregular changes among Stars that had previously been vast distances apart. An enigmatic connection seemed to have emerged out of nowhere, drawing them closer together until they eventually coalesced into a mysterious Pattern, beginning a new cycle of motion. Two names sprang to mind for Hanyu Xiaotian: the Big Dipper and the Southern Dipper Star!

In his astonishment, Hanyu Xiaotian focused intently on a particularly large star. Gazing at its surface, he could make out innumerable enigmatic lines amidst its dazzling glow. The landscape was a tapestry of intersecting mountains and valleys, with the planet's interior energy pulsating powerfully, seemingly engaged in a relentless transformation of the planet's very makeup...

The space surrounding the large star, once void of any features, was now teeming with dense belts of meteorites. In some regions, ribbons of light, akin to the aurora borealis, drifted through, casting a stunning and mysterious glow.
