Gao Wu: I became a saint through daily settlements

A gentle, synthesized female voice rang clearly in Lin Yue's ears:

"Welcome to StarCraft.net."

The next second, a powerful and imaginative slogan slowly appeared on the virtual interface in front of him: "The starry sky is right beneath your feet."

The scene before Lin Yue's eyes changed instantly. The ceiling of the room had become a vast starry sky, and the surrounding furniture had vanished in an instant.

"The user's login history has increased too much since the last login. A new 'simulation' has been automatically configured."

"The configuration process will take approximately two to three minutes. Please be patient."

During the two or three minutes of waiting, Lin Yue didn't sit idle. He opened a live match with the most spectators.

The room title was: "Living in the Northwest, live-streaming my battle against Star Beasts."

"Live-streaming the slaying of Star Beasts? That's interesting."

Lin Yue was curious and clicked into the live stream.

"This is a paid live stream. Would you like to spend 500 Blue Star Coins to unlock it?"

Suddenly, a notification popped up in front of Lin Yue's eyes.

"500 Blue Star Coins?" Lin Yue raised an eyebrow, his tone slightly surprised, then smiled with relief.

"That's not much."

Lin Yue still has 8 million Blue Star Coins in his account, enough for him to watch over 10,000 live streams like this.

"It's good to be rich," Lin Yue remarked, before paying the 500 Blue Star Coins.

In the past, he definitely wouldn't have been willing to spend 500 Blue Star Coins to watch the live stream.

After a moment of reflection, Lin Yue didn't hesitate at all and lightly touched the "Confirm Payment" button on the prompt box.

With a soft "ding-dong" sound, 500 Blue Star Coins were deducted from his account. The notification box in front of him disappeared instantly, and the scene changed, instantly transforming from a vast starry sky into a desolate and boundless mountainous area.

What comes into view is a vast mountain range that is entirely orange-yellow, with thousands of mountains and valleys stretching endlessly, steep and precipitous, and the rocks exposed with menacing ridges.

Looking around, there was hardly any green to be seen, only a few sparse, gray-black dead trees, stubbornly rooted in the cracks of the rocks, swaying in the howling wind.

The live stream's viewing interface was designed to be extremely realistic. The virtual figures of more than 20,000 viewers were evenly arranged in a ring around the live stream screen, resembling Saturn's planetary rings. The screen was densely packed with a vast expanse of virtual figures, and various bullet comments scrolled around like a tide, almost drowning out the screen.

Lin Yue squeezed in and blended into the huge crowd.

"The star beast we are about to hunt is a star beast that has gained sentience."

In the center of the image, a young man in his early twenties is hovering in the air, surrounded by a faint white aura. He is clearly a flying martial artist who has mastered the art of levitation.

He was dressed in a black outfit, with a tall and straight posture, handsome face, and a hint of arrogance between his brows. In his hand, he held a two-meter-long meteorite iron sword.

"The Flying Warrior uses the same weapon as me," Lin Yue sighed.

Directly in front of him, a massive star beast was fleeing madly at an incredible speed, sending rocks flying and dust billowing in its wake.

Lin Yue's gaze was instantly drawn to the star beast in front of him, which resembled a black panther.

"So this is how different star beasts look from normal creatures!" Lin Yue exclaimed.

The intelligent star beast in front of them was much larger than a normal black panther. A normal black panther is about the size of a motorcycle, but this intelligent black panther looked as big as a small car.

Moreover, the star beasts have sharp spikes on their bodies that are not found in ordinary creatures.

Take this black panther for example; it has several dark blue spikes along its spine and hand bones, which is quite frightening.

"This is a Star Beast of the Spiritual Intelligence Rank! It's terrifying!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed in shock.

Many people were seeing a Star Beast of the Spiritual Intelligence Rank for the first time, and they could feel its oppressive aura even through the screen.

"So there really are star beasts to see! Those 500 Blue Star Coins were totally worth it!"

"The streamer is ruthless! He even dares to hunt down a Star Beast of the Spirit Intelligence rank!"

"Of course! You guys didn't know, did you? The streamer is a Grandmaster-level expert!" One comment stood out and instantly sparked a heated discussion.

"A Grandmaster-level expert?!" someone exclaimed. "Doesn't that mean he's on par with the Hall Master of the Martial Hall?"

"My god, reaching the Grandmaster level at such a young age, this talent is terrifying!"

"As far as I know, he is the son of a martial arts hall master in Beijing Province. He has been exceptionally talented since childhood, and his cultivation speed is astonishing. He broke through to the Grandmaster realm before he was even twenty-five years old. Among the younger generation, he is definitely a top-tier existence!"

The barrage of comments continued to scroll, while the battle on screen had entered a heated phase.

The young streamer's eyes narrowed, his energy surged, and his speed increased several times over. He chased after the enemy like an arrow, raising his meteorite iron sword high, the blade shrouded in faint white true energy.

Immediately afterwards, he swung his longsword out, and a sharp blade of energy burst forth instantly.

"Sizzle—"

With a crisp sound, the blade struck the star beast's back precisely, instantly severing a dark blue spike on its spine.

"Roar!" The star beast cried out in pain, then turned its body to bite at the young man's attack.

"It is indeed a star beast that has gained sentience; it knows it can't escape and will fight back," the man said in a low voice.

"It's just a last-ditch effort!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slightly shifted his body to the side, easily dodging the star beast's attack. At the same time, he swung his longsword again, as fast as lightning, and accurately struck the star beast's throat.

The powerful strike severed the star beast's throat, gushing out a torrent of black blood that stained the surrounding rocks. The star beast's body stiffened abruptly, the red light in its eyes quickly faded, and its massive body crashed heavily to the ground. After twitching a few times, it became completely still.

"Is that all?"

"So fast!" Many people exclaimed in shock.

"Those 500 Blue Star Coins were totally worth it! The streamer's skill is absolutely overwhelming, it was so satisfying to watch!"

[The new 'simulation' has been configured.] A system notification sounded in Lin Yue's ear at just the right moment.

"I'm still not done." Lin Yue glanced at the live stream screen with reluctance before controlling his virtual avatar to exit the live stream room.

"So, there really are flying warriors in the world, and they really do have such powerful abilities." He looked up at the virtual starry sky, his eyes filled with emotion.

At this moment, a thought flashed through Lin Yue's mind: having come this far, could he also become a flying martial artist like him?

Could we also break free from Earth's constraints, travel to more distant starry skies, witness firsthand the vast nebulae, mysterious planets, and even clash with stronger star beasts?

He recalled the history of human civilization:

From the moment humans learned to crawl, they longed to run; after learning to run, they longed to fly; and after learning to fly, they longed to go to the more distant reaches of space.

It is these seemingly unrealistic fantasies, these endless aspirations, that have propelled humanity forward, driving it to make continuous progress and breakthroughs, and creating the civilization that is now capable of landing in space and battling celestial beasts.

Thinking of this, Lin Yue's eyes became incredibly determined. He clenched his fist and said in a low but firm voice:

"One day, I will make the starry sky truly beneath my feet."
