“It has been formatted, quite cautious indeed.” Qin Muye tried to peer into the memories of this strand of Cosmic Will, but found only the memories from the birth of the Star Gods, with no memories of the Cosmic Will itself.

“Based on the developmental data, a complete Star God is probably at the mid-tier S-level, while some individuals may reach high-tier S-level.”

“Gestalt Consciousness, these Star Gods themselves have no ego; the true self is the Cosmic Will.”

“As expected, fists are still the most useful.”

“With this, there can be no worries for the usurping plans.” Qin Muye had actually not expected that it would be so easy to obtain.

“Such a great treasure delivered right to my door.”

“The Heavenly Demon God truly is my lucky star, sending me both Star Gods and Divine Artifacts; I’ve considered sending him on his way ahead of time,” Qin Muye couldn’t help but remark.

“Tch, truly befitting of a Rank 7 Lord, with such rich possessions–unexpectedly straightforward in giving them away, indeed quite a surprise.” Qin Muye, through the analysis in the command center, had concluded that the behavior and personality of the Heavenly Demon God were completely that of a brash brawler, readily shirking responsibility. He had thought that the latter would simply deny everything and that he would have to force the issue to claim his due.

“This must be what they call executing justice on behalf of heaven,” Qin Muye’s mind wandered; the heroes cry out for justice on behalf of heaven, but never actually have heaven’s authorization.

“Why can’t I get to a more normal server? Always dealing with these tricky operations,” Qin Muye felt somewhat helpless. Last time there was an Ancient God Revival to confront the whole world; this time, the will within the stars directly marked them as the antagonists. What to do in this situation?

“This way, everyone becomes a villain, truly the largest scale of villainous events…”

Not to mention, the GROX Empire had been annihilated how many years ago? Even the most ancient Star Cluster Empire had no records in their archives, with such tales only preserved in electronic books meant to carry the Book of Eternity, like fairy tales and fables.

But such matters are none of his concern since these quibbles wouldn’t involve him, and these powers wouldn’t act against him anyway.

There might be remnants in the Sub-dimension, but currently only technology was inherited, with no literary records.

But thinking about it was quite normal; if Qin Muye were confined for who knows how many years, then to escape had to break himself into many parts, would he not seek revenge?

Low-tier S-level is fine, but these undeveloped Star Gods were representatives–one of them was scooped up by Qin Muye just like that; not being squished to death already showed their utility.

The research on the Star Gods progressed quickly; Qin Muye now knew the reason the planets became animated into Star Gods: naturally, it was because of the Cosmic Will that broke free from the GROX Empire’s Ring-shaped World.

And based on subsequent investigations, Qin Muye also confirmed that this Ring-shaped World was indeed located at the center of the universe, where the Cosmic Will was originally born.

He then turned his gaze towards the enormous planet that was bound, which was the Star God.

And if he met a fully grown Star God in the future, it would not be possible to separate such a pure strand of Cosmic Will.

After Qin Muye’s thorough examination, he also discovered that this Star God was in an incomplete developmental state, hence its strength was more or less at the entrance to Rank 8; otherwise, it would not have been so easily captured by him.

Otherwise, why would Star God calamities be so severe? Because it’s a bunch of Rank 8s fighting.

High-tier S-level strength is about equal to Qin Muye; only about a dozen are needed to withstand a beating without being killed. As for mid-tier S-level, it would require around a hundred to reach this level of resilience.

Luckily, Qin Muye did not need the memories of the other party; what he needed was this strand of Cosmic Will.

The specific strength classification is not that detailed. Even in the Shining Universe, the Transcendents are merely simply divided into three levels without any elaborate distinctions like certain realms or half-step middle, Great Perfection middle-tier, and other peculiar classifications. At S-level, all are deterrence-level and rarely take action.

Even the Spirit Monsters in the Ring-shaped World, this giant cage, found no corresponding records, as if this species had no written language at all.

Qin Muye harbored doubts about this as it was indeed very rare.

Qin Muye quickly extracted a tiny strand of Cosmic Will from within the Star God; there wasn’t much, just a wisp. It was difficult for him to estimate how much of the Cosmic Will this constituted, as he had never seen Cosmic Will.

Although Qin Muye hadn’t interacted much with the major forces, he could discern the situation from past judgments.

Qin Muye knew that it definitely wasn’t his gentlemanly demeanor that moved the other party, but rather, the other party was deterred by his strength.

With the server’s situation changing drastically, Qin Muye felt it was time to clear out these uncertainties.

After obtaining the Divine Artifact, Qin Muye naturally had to integrate it with his Territory Traits; otherwise, what was the use in keeping it? It could only be maximized after such integration.

In fact, this was not the case. It could be seen from the Book of Eternity in Wang Wei’s possession that there indeed was a textual heritage, but it did not record any history, only pure technology.

So he could only temporarily bind it within the Cosmic space outside the Endless Abyss.

At least the True Dragon Emperor still retained enough strength, but the Heavenly Demon God had none, so he had to fight desperately.

The Heavenly Demon God had already started actively trying to save himself since, without the Divine Artifact or Server Transfer Token, he was basically tied to the Shining Universe server.

The Star Gods in Wang Wei’s memory were similar to human figures, not the planetary shapes of the present.

Planets were not a rarity; what was truly precious was this strand of Cosmic Will.

The Star Gods were the true enforcers of cosmic justice, for they were entrusted with this task by the Cosmic Will.

The matter of the Star Gods had also been laid out on the high-level tables of the various forces, with the True Dragon Emperor, the Transcendents, and the unfortunate Heavenly Demon God providing intelligence.

Currently, the thinking of the Star Gods was very rigid, acting only according to a certain logic, and greatly different from the Star Gods in Wang Wei’s memory.

The Star Gods were indifferent; they lacked a complete civilization and society, and once influenced, the impact was immense.

Otherwise, how else could it be handled? Was it truly necessary to take action immediately?

When all the life forms in a world were forced to become villains, and moreover, villains recognized by the Cosmic Will, it was indeed too preposterous.

A group of 8th-tier deadly fights would pose an even greater threat.

Repaying kindness with kindness, grievances with directness–this was the proper way to conduct oneself; to repay grievances with kindness was commonly known as being a colossal fool.

Because if one were to really take action, even a low-rank S-tier could have a profound impact on their Star Domain and even the Cosmic universe, potentially causing terrible outcomes such as the regression or extinction of a civilization.

Qin Muye didn’t know about the grudges between the Cosmic Will and the GROX Empire; it had been too many years in the past, how could Qin Muye possibly know about these things?

He had found the reason though, because the Star Gods were not fully developed, and the Cosmic Will couldn’t fully integrate with them. He would have to wait until the two completely merged. By then, even if Qin Muye wanted to separate them, it wouldn’t be so simple. He was picking up a bargain.

The larger the force, the more discussion was needed; to wait for a result, they would have to wait at least until tomorrow.

After the Cosmic Will had left, this Star God gradually quieted down, having been drained of its intellect and sure to perish.

In Wang Wei’s memory, it was because the Star Gods had contaminated the cosmic parameters, causing changes in the original physics and Spiritual Energy. However, in Qin Muye’s eyes, this change was not caused by the Star Gods but by the clash of 8th-tier powers. Even if they couldn’t pierce the heavens, altering the environment was still no problem.

The one who exerted the most effort in this affair was likely the True Dragon Emperor, as he too had gone through the prolonged events of the Ancient God Revival, which were allowed to spread because they weren’t extinguished in the early stages, leading to deterioration later.

This issue naturally attracted high-level attention, but they were still in meetings for now.

This matter was truly big; even Qin Muye couldn’t place it into the Endless Abyss.

It was too wasteful to have the Spirit Monster handle such affairs; it was better left to others.

The True Dragon Emperor and the Transcendents were naturally within his purview for cleanup, but he couldn’t act just yet; he still needed these three to help him connect the various powers.

But Qin Muye, who knew the truth, noted that the two events were completely different in nature. At least in the Shining Universe server, the natives stood on their side, whereas in the Magic Continent, Lords had to fight against the life forms of the entire world, with an entirely different situation at hand.

As for the interests in between, Qin Muye was not the kind of person who was greedy for small advantages. Why care about such trifles? He had to look at the bigger picture; Qin Muye wanted the entire Shining Universe server.
