Chapter 288 The 'Suppression' of Lower-Ranked Stars by Higher-Ranked Stars [Requesting Monthly Tickets!]

[One and a half hours before the start of the Mirror Glass New Year's Eve Concert]

As night fell, the dome of the Sea Concert Hall - Aurora Eternal Sigh suddenly lit up.

Colorful lights intertwine to form a flowing light curtain, outlining a magnificent scene in the sky resembling the 'autumn'.

The name 'Aurora' comes from this.

At the ticket gates for the concert, a large number of Jing Liuli fans had already formed long queues.

They either held up light signs printed with "Little Fairy of Glass" or wore special support headdresses, causing the pink light to converge into a sea of ​​stars. Even the light red mist unique to the City of Scarlet Mist was tinged with pink, making it as lively as a grand festival celebration.

At the top of Aurora's Eternal Sigh, Caroline's green eyes flashed with the glimmer of quantum data streams as she rapidly verified the identities of these more than 100,000 'fans'.

In just a moment, Caroline, this 'human quantum computer,' produced a result.

“The three people at the three o’clock position have a calm aura and deliberately suppress their star energy fluctuations.”

"Five people at the six o'clock position, with frost tattoos on their necks, which is the mark of the Starfrost School."

Caroline picked up her tactical tablet and tapped on the heat map of the crowd below.

Several red dots, standing out from the surrounding fans, appeared clearly on her tablet and were specifically marked.

Tiandao leaned against the railing, twirling a silver coin between his fingers. His gaze swept over the Starfrost Sect members mingling in the crowd, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"No rush. Just know who's going to show up. Now is not the time to make a move."

"Ah."

Caroline nodded, indicating that she was aware of the situation.

It's different from what the audience in the anime/manga/game world thinks.

The Starfrost Sect's destruction of Mirror Glass was not intended to prevent its normal breakthrough ritual.

Instead, they wanted to steer Jing Liuli's breakthrough in the direction they desired.

For example, in the 'True Dream' after Jing Liuli's breakthrough, the phantom of the Frost God exists permanently.

If this can be achieved, then every concert by Jing Liuli in the future will be a silent dissemination of the Frost God faith.

This is the true purpose of the Starfrost Sect.

They neither wanted Jing Liuli to succeed in her breakthrough, nor did they want her breakthrough to fail.

A moment later, Tiandao tossed a coin, caught it, and turned to walk towards the backstage entrance.

"Those below are all open cards, no need to rush to clear them. Just keep an eye on this side of the stage and act when the situation is right. The rest... leave it to me."

"Ah."

Caroline nodded, her gaze returning to the sea of ​​lights below. Her pair of intelligent cat ears twitched slightly, sensing every unusual fluctuation of star energy in the air.

After a brief farewell, Tiandao arrived at the core area of ​​Aurora's Eternal Sigh.

That is, directly below the concert stage.

In this location, a huge Star Dream Stone is suspended in mid-air.

Although there was also a smaller version of the Star Dream Stone directly above the stage at this moment.

But Heaven knows very well that the Star Dream Stone is just a smokescreen; the real Star Dream Stone is the one he is guarding right in front of him.

Calculating the time, there are still two hours before his opponent arrives, so he can rest for a while.

With this in mind, Tiandao dragged a rattan lounge chair out of nowhere, too lazy to even take off his coat, and lay down comfortably on it.

His leisurely demeanor resembled that of an old man sunbathing in a park.

Viewers couldn't help but complain about this.

"Hey, Grandpa Tiandao, are you out for a stroll?"

'It still has to be Laotian, that damn feeling of relaxation.'

'If I hadn't known the Star Frost Faction was up to something, I would have thought this was just a regular backstage concert vlog!'

'If it weren't for Lao Tian, ​​I would have almost thought this was just an ordinary concert.'

However, unlike the relaxed situation on the Heavenly Dao's side, the situation on Chen Kong's side was undoubtedly much more tense.

Chen Kong was holding a data terminal, and the screen displayed the location information that Tian Dao had previously sent him.

Behind him were Liu Ma and Vivian.

The three arrived at the abandoned factory and, after confirming that the location information was correct, went directly into a hidden passage in the factory.

On the abandoned water tower above the passageway, Danica put away her children's binoculars and turned to look to the side.

"Sister Chenxing, Brother Chenkong and the others have gone inside!"

Chen Xing leaned against the water tower railing, her fingertips lightly stroking the hilt of the demon sword at her waist. Although her cold and beautiful face was expressionless, her gaze was fixed on the entrance to the passage.

Previously, she didn't understand why Heaven wanted her to spend time finding the Starfrost Sect's stronghold.

But now she understands.

It seems that the Heavenly Dao foresaw what was happening here long ago with its Star Eclipse Heavenly Eye, and thus sent itself here ahead of time.

After an unknown amount of time, a violent fluctuation of stellar energy suddenly emanated from beneath the abandoned factory.

First came the pale white halo of dust's 'Void Pattern' exploding, followed by Liu Ma's signature berserk star energy.

Finally, there was an extremely cold aura of stellar energy, so cold that it seemed to freeze the air itself.

This aura of stellar energy felt both familiar and strange to Chen Kong.

"Let's go, Danica, it's our turn to make our entrance."

"Yes." [In the underground base of the abandoned factory]

Due to the 'accidental' intrusion of Chen Kong and his group, the entire underground base began flashing red lights frantically, and the continuous alarms were sharp and piercing.

Chen Kong and the others quickly ran towards the place where Isabel was being held.

Just as they were about to reach the prison area, a tall, thin man with curly, ramen-noodle-like hair, holding a comic book, blocked their way.

Upon seeing the other party's appearance, Chen Kong and Liu Ma seemed to realize something and slowly stopped.

Vivian, who was standing nearby, immediately frowned upon seeing this.

"What's wrong with you two?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Kong said with a wry smile, "Vivian, things are in trouble."

"trouble?"

Vivian first glanced at Jeremiah not far away, and data analysis showed that the other party only had the strength of level three.

As long as he's not an old guy like 'Shuang Mobing' who's pretending to be a level three.

How could ordinary level-three star envoys make these two guys show such expressions, unless...
"It's been a long time, Sora and Liu Ma."

Hearing Jeremiah's words, Vivian's thoughts were completely confirmed.

That's right, this guy is indeed a 'child of the stars'.

Judging from the way Chen Kong and Liu Ma are, this guy's ranking among the Stars back then was definitely not low.

He paid no attention to the tense expressions on Chen Kong and the others' faces.

Jeremiah closed the comic book and slowly stood up.

In an instant, the originally spacious passageway suddenly became narrow as he stood upright at 2.5 meters tall.

It wasn't that the passageway was too low, but that Jeremiah was too tall.

Chen Kong stood in front of Liu Ma and Vivian, his face grave, and said, "So, Jeremiah, after you left the base, you joined the Starfrost Faction?"

Jeremiah did not answer the question directly.

He looked down at the three of them and said in surprise, "Strange, Liuli didn't recognize me when she first met me, how did you recognize me at a glance?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ma bluntly said, "In the entire base, your hair is the only one that looks like instant noodles. Who can forget that?"

Jeremiah paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"That's true, I had even forgotten about it myself."

After saying that, Jeremiah touched his curly hair, stretched with a smile, and his bones made a soft 'crack' sound.

The next second, his tone suddenly became calm.

"Alright, you can stop here. After all, you can't go any further down the road."

Chen Kong and Liu Ma exchanged a glance and began to mobilize the star energy within their bodies.

The silence speaks.

Noticing their actions, Jeremiah couldn't help but mock them.

"Kong, Liu Ma, it seems that after so long, you've forgotten what our rankings were based on back in the base."

"That's talent."

As they were speaking, a chilling mist suddenly spread out from Jeremiah.

The mist wasn't ordinary white; it was a kind of ice crystal with a pale blue tint.

Wherever the ice fog passed, thick layers of ice formed on the metal walls of the passage, and the red light of the emergency lights distorted constantly in the ice fog, as if it were shivering from the cold.

Chen Kong and the other two's expressions changed drastically, and they retreated rapidly, barely managing to avoid the invasion of the icy mist and avoid being frozen into ice sculptures in one fell swoop.

Watching Chen Kong and the others flee in disarray, Jeremiah's eyes held no emotion, only a cruel clarity.

"Kong, Liu Ma, you lower-level stars should know very well that hard work is the cheapest and most useless thing in the base, because..."

As he said this, Jeremiah raised his hand, and an ice spike materialized at his fingertips. The cold air emanating from the ice spike caused frost to rise from the surrounding air.

The ice spike flew out of his hand, grazing past Chen Kong's ear in his astonished gaze, before embedding itself hard in the wall behind him and exploding into a shower of ice flowers.

Looking at the still-shaken Chen Kong, Jeremiah calmly said, "The chasm called talent is one that you cannot cross no matter how hard you try."

With just one simple move, Jeremiah demonstrated the difference in strength between himself and Chen Kong and the others.

Because Chen Kong couldn't even see how he made his move, let alone defeat him.

This is the ranking of the stars.

A ranking that appears to be just a simple arrangement of nouns actually contains a harsh reality.

At the same time, this also made the viewers on the 13 stations subconsciously think of a certain 'silver-haired guy' who was still slacking off.

After all, Jeremiah, who was only No. 7, was so powerful.

Just how powerful must the Heavenly Dao, as the No. 1, be?
After all, so far, all the battles they've fought since they grew up have been crushing victories, and all the results have been one-sided.

In such a situation, even if Heaven claims to be serious, outsiders simply won't believe it.

This has piqued the curiosity of anime and manga viewers.

I'm curious about what criteria the doctor used back then to rank the 36 Starchildren.

The dimensions used for measurement must be far more complex than they imagine.
PS: That concludes today's update.
