This villain is too popular.

Chapter 240 It turns out he had appeared long before she knew it.
In the dim light of the night, the supermarket's glass doors were shattered, and the sounds of rummaging through debris and men's curses echoed from between the collapsed shelves.

Tiandao stood in the shadows of the outside stairwell, silently looking into the supermarket.

A group of adults dressed in tattered tactical uniforms were seen frantically rummaging through the supermarket for supplies. Their clothes were stained with dark red grime, and their eyes were filled with a mixture of despair and madness, like starving wild dogs.

Seeing this, Tiandao frowned. He disliked that look; it lacked any human warmth.

Thinking of this, Tiandao immediately prepared to turn around and leave, looking for a new hunting ground.

Just as he was about to leave quietly, he caught a glimpse of a small figure cautiously moving forward in the shadows of the supermarket's exterior wall.

It was a little girl about his age, with messy brown hair plastered to her face. She was clutching a deflated cloth bag in her hand, standing on tiptoe and peering into the supermarket. Her eyes held apprehension, but even more so, an almost stubborn determination.

Tiandao looked at her, then glanced back at the adults in the supermarket with distorted eyes. After a moment's thought, he picked up a fist-sized stone and threw it out like a baseball.

Snapped!
The stone precisely shattered the glass of the supermarket's other side, the crisp sound of breaking glass particularly jarring in the quiet night.

The little girl in the shadows was startled by the sudden noise and scrambled into the nearby stairwell.

Meanwhile, the adults in the supermarket were also alerted.

They stormed out, cursing and brandishing steel pipes, to investigate, but saw nothing but empty streets and shattered shop windows.

After the group of people returned to the supermarket, cursing and swearing, the little girl in the stairwell peeked out, and after confirming it was safe, she quietly ran away in the opposite direction.

Little Dust Star knew very well that the survivors of this period were far more terrifying than the monsters roaming the city ruins.

What she didn't see was that in the shadows of a street corner not far away, a silver-haired boy was leaning against the wall, watching her back and gently curling the corners of his mouth.

Although Tiandao doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, he does quite like the girl's eyes.

Because he saw 'temperature' in those eyes.

Seeing this heartwarming scene from Tiandao, the Tianxing fans in the live chat instantly became excited.

'It's Little Dust Star! So Little Heavenly Dao had already encountered Little Dust Star at this time!'

'Xiao Tiandao's actions were incredibly skillful! He didn't even show himself, yet he directly helped her avoid danger!'

'So he had already appeared before she knew it?'

'This is what true childhood sweethearts are all about; I suggest locking them up forever!'

'A life-saving grace? It seems the stars can only repay this debt with their bodies.'

After confirming that Xiaochenxing was no longer in danger, Tiandao turned his head and glanced at the supermarket not far away, and sneered in a low voice: "He rushed in without even checking what was inside. What an easy target for naive prey."

After saying that, Tiandao turned and left the supermarket.

Shortly afterward, screams and flames were heard from inside the supermarket, clearly indicating that something had happened.

Once the commotion subsided, a hairy spider leg stepped onto the shards of glass and appeared in the center of the anime screen.

As the camera zooms out, a black spider appears on the screen.

The black spider's four pairs of shadowy scythe-like legs gleamed coldly, and it was clutching a survivor who was convulsing in front of it.

Ignoring the pleas and cries of the adult survivor, it began to devour his body with relish.
Name: Shadow Spider

[Level: Level 1]

[Description: Possesses four pairs of freely retractable 'Shadow Scythe Legs,' sharp enough to cut through alloy. Its tail sprays 'Shadow Binding Silk' containing paralyzing toxins.] Upon seeing this Shadow Spider, some viewers instantly recalled Dust Star's 'Flashback Arc'.

In that flashback, young Xiaochenxing first met Xiaotiandao in a supermarket after the disaster.

At that time, Xiao Tiandao was sitting on the corpse of a black spider, indirectly saving Chen Xing who had rashly walked in.

It was during that time that the young Heavenly Dao left an indelible impression on the young Dust Star's heart.

Originally, the audience thought that was the first encounter between Tiandao and Chenxing in their destiny. Unexpectedly, Tiandao had already secretly saved Chenxing once before that day arrived.

Because if it weren't for Tiandao's secret help, even if Chenxing had avoided those 'inhuman' adult survivors in the supermarket, he would have been quickly hunted down by this shadow spider hiding in the dark.

It can be said that without the Heavenly Dao, there would be no Crimson Flame Demon Blade, the No. 2 Star of the Universe.

And now, two-thirds of the way through the side stories has passed.

Although the production team of Stellaris did not explicitly provide any description of the Heavenly Dao's 'physique' in these storylines.

However, the audience in the anime/manga world still accurately captured the extraordinary physique of the Heavenly Dao.

At the same time, they finally understood why, from the very beginning of the first season of All Stars, Tendou was always labeled as having a "love for desserts".

This is certainly partly due to Heaven's insatiable appetite.

But another, more important reason is clearly related to his extraordinary physique.

After all, if he didn't possess some special physique, how could the Heavenly Dao recover from his injuries so quickly just by eating 'desserts'?

The mystery is almost solved; all that's missing is solid 'evidence'.

The scene shifts, and in the anime, Tendou has already dragged his battered body back to his room.

The school uniform was torn open, stained with dark red and dark green blood, and the deep wound on the arm, which exposed bone, was still bleeding.

The viewers were stunned by what they saw.

In my memory, the supreme star at the top of the universe, where I was the only one above all others, had never been in such a 'disgraceful' situation, except at the end of the first season when one person overpowered most of the association's star envoys.

Even with such severe injuries, Tiandao's eyes remained bright.

Despite his physical exhaustion, he pulled a blood-stained star core from his backpack.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the dimensional audience, Tiandao directly put the star core into his mouth.

The next second, cold sweat broke out on Tiandao's forehead, and his body trembled slightly, as if he was enduring excruciating pain.

But soon, the pain faded from his face, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After doing all this, Tiandao took off his blood-stained clothes as if nothing had happened, lay down on the sofa, and closed his eyes to rest.

The bright moonlight shone through the dusty window, casting dappled light on the silver hair on Tendou's forehead.

Soon, only the faint glow of the chocolate foil and the steady breathing of the little boy remained in the room.

The secrets of Heaven are quietly awakening in these unknown apocalyptic ruins.

The anime then gradually zoomed out and finally settled on the city ruins, with a dazzling, boundless starry sky above them.
