This villain is too popular.

Chapter 418 Star Source: Layered Rose
The 'Star Project' was created jointly by the Doctor and Ennet, which is a relatively important piece of information that the Heavenly Dao currently possesses.

As for what role Ennett played in all of this, and what he intended to achieve with it, Tiandao had a vague idea in mind, but he lacked some crucial evidence at the moment, so he did not reveal it.

Moreover, compared to these, Heaven is currently more concerned with other 'answers'.

For example, can the Longevity Island in front of us allow my Star Eclipse Eye to evolve again?

And will he be able to find the most crucial piece of the puzzle here for his envisioned 'Perfect Technique: Infinite Tsukuyomi'?

The answers to these questions are more intriguing to Heaven than the truth behind Project Stars.

Thinking of this, those azure eyes immediately looked toward the center of the island.

At this moment, the camera in the anime followed the Heavenly Dao, giving a close-up shot of the center of the island hidden in the gray fog in the distance.

This special shot, though it didn't say anything, showed Tiandao's deep gaze on the screen.

However, many anime fans still vaguely guessed what was going on.

It's obvious that Tiandao has his eye on something about Changsheng Island.

Trial?

It seems that the one truly being tested and challenged is not the Heavenly Dao, but rather some being on this Island of Immortality.
Changsheng Island, landing point on the eastern beach.

The vines and withered branches on the beach still emitted a faint residual heat of star energy. Rose Gentleman Wilford leaned on his cane and remained silent for a long time.

His brief encounter and exchange with the Heavenly Dao had already made him understand the Heavenly Dao's strength, and he knew that he alone could not defeat the Heavenly Dao.

For him, this outcome had both advantages and disadvantages.

The good thing is that he himself didn't want to do such a 'bad deed' as bullying the weak and violating the code of gentlemanly conduct.

The power of Heaven meant that he could not imprison the other party after sunset.

The bad thing is that even if he personally doesn't want to...

Having become a 'servant of the ancient god,' he could only act according to the will of the 'ancient god.'

The only 'freedom' he gained was to use his remaining 'will' to reveal some trivial 'truths' to the Heavenly Dao through the cracks in the 'Ancient God Contract'.

Even so, as the sun completely set, his 'freedom' was also completely exhausted.

"Sigh, there's no time."

As the last rays of the golden-red sunset sank completely below the horizon, Wilford on the beach sighed softly, his voice tinged with an almost imperceptible bitterness.

I don't know if it's just the imagination of the viewers, but it seems like it was only the time of sunset.

But Wilfer in the darkness seemed visibly much older than he was at dusk.

His hair, which had only turned gray at the temples, had now turned silver-white under the moonlight.

In addition, the skin on Wilfer's wrists, exposed by the cuffs of his tuxedo, was covered with fine wrinkles like dehydrated tree bark, and had completely lost its luster.

In just a few minutes, Wilford seemed to have aged a full ten years.

The Heavenly Dao, who was well aware of the rules of Changsheng Island and the plot of Changsheng Island in the original work, was not too surprised by this result.

After all, the concept of time on this island is completely different from that of the outside world.

Especially for those who are trapped in this 'cycle'.

What others see as a day is much more than just a 'day' for them.

Coincidentally, their arrival time on the island today is a Sunday in a cycle, a crucial day for the transition between generations on Changsheng Island.

Looking at Wilford, whose appearance had aged but whose aura had become even stronger, the Heavenly Dao suddenly spoke.

"There really isn't much time left, it's time to put an end to this accident."

As he finished speaking, he slowly raised his hand, palm facing Wilford's direction.

There was no exaggerated burst of star energy, not even any superfluous movements, yet Wilfer's pupils suddenly contracted, sensing an unprecedented crisis.

However, after a brief moment of surprise, Wilfer returned to normal.

"It's really a scary life."

Wilford chuckled softly and tightened his grip on his cane.

The next second, the white jade rose at the top of his cane shattered instantly.

Countless white rose petals surged from the staff, piling up around him in layers, eventually transforming into a giant rose with a diameter of over ten meters.

The edges of the petals shimmered with a pale golden light, protecting him in the center.

At the same time, information about Wilfer's Star Source ability appeared beside him in the form of a panel, allowing the dimensional viewers on Station 13 to know his accurate information.

【Star Source: Layered Rose】

[Number of Awakenings: 3]

【Effect 1 - Life Absorption: Can absorb all life energy (the unique life force inherent in the star energy of a living being) by using rose vines, rose petals, and rose pollen as a medium】

【Effect 2 - Life Storage: Absorbs and stores additional life force, which can be used to replenish life force consumption in critical situations.】

[Effect 3: Photosynthesis: It can absorb 'light energy' and convert it into a portion of its life force for growth and to replenish bodily losses.]

[Awakening Effect - Life Rings: Each year, a new life ring is carved deep within the soul, preserving current life characteristics, soul traits, and memories; upon death, the outer ring automatically falls off until the life ring dissipates.]

[Real world, 13 stations, bullet comment section]

'Holy crap! One life per year? That's way too overpowered!'

'Infinite resurrection build? This is definitely the top-tier survival quasar source in Stellaris right now!'

'Not only that, this Star Source must be one of the few Star Sources that can 'grow infinitely,' right? Indeed, never underestimate anyone in this world; this old gentleman is truly something.'

'Don't just look at his abilities. Didn't you hear his conversation with the Heavenly Dao? He's already a servant of the ancient gods. He probably doesn't have much freedom. Even if he lives a long life, he's just a puppet.'

As we all know, late-game heroes often don't even make it to the late game (just kidding, don't take it seriously)~

Amidst the playful banter from the dimensional barrage, the gray fog on the beach of Changsheng Island in the scene began to thicken, and the petals of the giant rose began to slowly rotate.

Standing at the heart of the giant rose, Wilford, with a resolute determination, said in a deep voice, "The Heavenly Dao and the majesty of the ancient gods cannot be violated."

"The majesty of the ancient gods?"

Faced with Wilfer's slightly 'warning' words, Tendou's lips curled up slightly, his eyes filled with mockery.

"Only the weak would place their hopes on so-called gods."

"Besides, that's just your 'god'."

As soon as he finished speaking, a vector force field, far more solid and unique than before, was released from the Heavenly Dao!
