Chapter 187 I'll Make the Stars Look Up to Me
The essence of a dreamer is 'infinity'.

Upon hearing Tiandao's words, Chen Kong felt as if a tiny yet bright 'glimmer of light' had shot into his brain.

The sudden warmth and light made his soul, which was in the darkness, tremble and want to hold on to it tightly.

However, the appearance of that 'faint light' was far too brief, and the 'meteorite falling from the sky' phenomenon in the sky at that moment was too shocking.

Ultimately, Chen Kong failed to grasp this precious 'inspiration,' letting it slip away quietly from his fingertips.

Just as Chen Kong was immersed in the regret of not being able to grasp the inspiration.

Bai Kong, who was in the center of the 'meteorite' in the distance, looked terrified.

He gazed at the world-destroying stone overhead, its massive size blotting out the sky and its surrounding flames seemingly capable of devouring everything. The arrogance and malevolence on his face were gone, replaced by boundless shock.

He could feel it; he could clearly sense the immense power contained within that meteorite, a power capable of crushing everything.

In the realm of the soul, where imagination and will reign supreme.

The concept of 'technique' was infinitely narrowed, while the concepts of 'will' and 'fantasy' were infinitely magnified.

The Heavenly Dao, with its almost terrifying 'will' and 'fantasy', created a true 'miracle' in this soul space.

Even a 'god' wouldn't allow his pride as a 'king' to kneel down like that!
With this will in mind, Bai Kong gripped 'Black Star' with both hands and swung the sword with all his might.

But this resulted in what?
Ding!
The moment the black star collided with the meteorite, the black star in Bai Kong's hand bent completely.

At the same time, the enormous meteorite struck him without any obstruction, obliterating his 'Perfect Star Remains' and pressing him into the boundless 'Sea of ​​Soul Consciousness'.

boom--! !

In an instant, a thousand-meter-high wave wall rose from the ground like divine punishment, sweeping across the entire soul space with a terrifying, all-consuming posture.

As the tsunami 'crashed' into the dimensional screen, the anime's visuals were plunged into a brief period of darkness.

It was as if even the act of 'observation' itself was crushed by this earth-shattering tsunami.

After that, Tiandao's ever-cynical voice appeared on the black screen as a narrator.

"True imagination is looking up at the stars and the sea even when you're stuck in the mud."

"To pursue infinite fantasies with a finite life—that is the true meaning of a dreamer."

"Because pursuing dreams is more important than achieving them."

In the darkness, the Heavenly Dao paused slightly, followed by a mocking chuckle.

"Are humans only able to look up at the stars?"

The pitch-black screen began to glow, and a pair of unusual, azure blue eyes suddenly appeared before all the viewers in the dimension.

The complex star trails flowing in his azure pupils were as if the brilliant and boundless starry sky had been completely imprisoned within those eyes.

Looking into those eyes, an indescribable sense of awe swept through the hearts of the viewers.

And this unspoken shock was finally fully released when the last words of the Heavenly Dao fell!

"Then I'll make the starry sky look up to me."

After the narration of the Heavenly Dao ended, the screen of the anime series went completely black.

In an instant, a silent and shocking atmosphere swept through everyone's hearts, completely igniting the passion in the hearts of the audience.

'My God! Hagiwara! What are you trying to do?!' 'You want the stars to look up to you? Hagiwara, are you really going to become 'the God'?!'

"As everyone knows, *Stellaris* is a classic shonen anime, with Tendou responsible for the classic elements and the shonen aspect, while the others are responsible for assembling the final *anime*."

'Just a memory projection is this exciting? I can't even imagine how exciting it would be if Lao Tian actually appeared!'

"As Lao Tian has already said, the essence of fantasy is infinity. Just let your imagination run wild!"

Admiring strength is human nature, and the degree to which viewers like a character can be roughly divided into 'appreciation', 'wanting to become', and finally 'looking up to'.

Only when a character achieves something that even viewers with a god-like perspective are ashamed of, as if it were something only he could do, can such a character truly succeed.

That's why he became the irreplaceable 'one and only' in everyone's hearts.

At this moment, the 'Heavenly Dao' is the 'only one' in the hearts of the audience, the irreplaceable 'only one'.

"Let the stars look up to him"—what domineering confidence and arrogance it takes to utter such a statement.

Yet, these words, when applied to the character of 'Heavenly Fate Master', don't feel out of place at all.

Because from the very first episode of "Stars," he left everyone far behind.

This also reminded some viewers of what Tiandao once said to the Doctor.

I want to stand at the highest point, see the farthest reaches, and then... figure out what this world is truly like.

They used to think that this was cool, but also pretentious.

But he only felt that the 'highest' that Heaven spoke of was the highest of the 'world'.

But now it seems they underestimated that arrogant silver-haired guy.

The 'highest' he refers to is so high that even the starry sky must look up to him!

Even the starry sky must prostrate itself at his feet!
This concludes the awakening arc of the protagonist, Chen Kong.

[The World of Stars, the Church of the Gears, the Underground Passage]

"Oh? You've given up so quickly?"

Yufemia looked at Chen Kong, who was standing motionless with his eyes closed, and suddenly said in a seductive voice, "How about this, Chen Kong? If you just kneel down and lick my feet like a dog, I'll spare your life, okay?"

To Euphemia's surprise, shortly after she finished speaking, Chen Kong slowly raised his head.

But those once clear and bright eyes now burn with an unfamiliar flame called 'arrogance'.

Ok?
To Euphemia's astonishment, Chen Kong teleported in front of her and grabbed her slender neck with one hand.

At the critical moment of life and death, Euphemia's 'Ten Blades' slashed wildly at 'Dust Sky'.

However, these swung blades only produced an echo like striking solid iron, and could not harm 'Dust Void' in the slightest!
Looking at Euphemia struggling in his hands, 'Dust Sky' curled into a cruel smile.

"Make me kneel down? You think?"

'Dust Void' slammed Euphemia against the tunnel wall, and a voice filled with unquestionable authority and boundless rage suddenly exploded in the shaking underground tunnel.

"You're also called the Heavenly Dao Master of Fate?!"
