I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

Similarly, it was he who, together with the dying Black Candle Lord, created the current floating continents and the Golden Fairy.

At this moment, he was at his desk, reviewing reports from various islands. As one of the highest leaders of the Floating Islands Wing Force, he was always very busy.

And it was during his work.

A tremendous aura suddenly erupted, startling him for a moment.

The next second, the Black Candle King, now only a pure black skull, suddenly opened his eyes, and pure black flames began to burn fiercely on his head.

"This is...."

It blurted out in surprise.

“I don’t know.” The great sage Swan Kandel frowned and opened the window in front of him.

Thick black clouds began to gather in the sky above the floating island, and the terrifying pressure made it almost impossible for people to breathe.

And within the clouds, a faint golden light seemed to appear and disappear.

---What is that??

The great sage Swann Kandel squinted, staring intently at the sky, lost in thought as he watched the fleeting golden light.

But before he could remember anything, a pale golden light suddenly peeked out from the clouds, a terrifying radiance emanating from layers upon layers of scales.

Amidst the radiance, its overall outline can be vaguely seen.

It is an eye, an eye that can cover the entire sky, even the entire world.

There was no pity, no sadness, no pain, no joy in those eyes, only indifference and calmness, like a pool of golden water flowing peacefully.

Under the gaze of this colossal eye, the Great Sage Swann Kandel and the Black Candle Lord were completely immobilized. An instinctive pressure from a higher level of life took over their minds and bodies, dominating their thoughts.

Come, I'm on floating island number sixty-eight.

The voice suddenly entered their minds.

As the sound faded, the pale golden eyes of the dragon in the sky slowly disappeared, and the rolling clouds that shrouded the floating island gradually vanished in the sunlight.

Then, the pressure disappeared, and Black Candle and the Great Sage Swan Kander both breathed a long sigh of relief.

Then they looked at each other again.

He squinted, looked at Black Candle Master, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Although I'm somewhat uncertain, but..."

The flames in Black Candle's eyes burned fiercely: "No, I'm quite certain that it's definitely not a power from this world."

"A new Star God has finally descended upon this world???" Swan Kandel's eyes widened in excitement.

Black Candle Lord still denied it: "No, it can't be. Because the power of this being is not the same as that of my former God of the Star."

"You may not be able to feel this power, but as a former god, I can feel it."

"Hmm... This is even purer and more advanced than my main star god. The soul it reflects fills people with a sense of oppression and worship at first glance."

"Hmm...so what does it mean that the other side is sending us a message about Island Sixty-Eight?" Swan O. Kandel stroked his chin, thinking for a moment.

"Of course, we should go find him." Black Candle Lord widened his non-existent eyes, letting the flames in his pupils burn fiercely.

"Shall we go?" Swann Kandel frowned.

"Of course we'll go!" Black Candle Lord roared. "This is our chance to save this planet! If the other side really is a Star God, and truly willing to save this planet, wouldn't we no longer have to worry about our current slow death?"

“No, I think you’re trying to resurrect yourself, old friend. After all these years, do you think I don’t know you?” Swan Kander shook his head slightly, his long beard swaying wildly. “But you’re right. Perhaps this is an important opportunity for us. If we don’t go and give it up, it would be such a waste.”

After saying this, Swann Kandel drew a conclusion.

Then he immediately grabbed Black Candle Master's forehead, opened the door, and shouted towards the entrance.

"Gaia, prepare the airship, we're going to Island Sixty-Eight."

The cat-headed girl dressed as a maid quickly approached, took the pure black skull from Swan Kandal's arms, and bowed, saying, "Your will."

.......

Seventeen Beast Worlds.

Island No. 23.

Inside a bar.

A red-haired man was singing a strange epic in a bar.

The journey was too long, gradually eroding their memories.

My hometown is too far away, my memories too faint. Even the vast expanse of time that has passed has lost its meaning.

Why did they begin their journey? It was probably due to factors such as war or disaster. They left their homeland, boarded a ship that traversed the stars, and embarked on this journey. They visited several stars before departing.

By the time they realized it, they had already lost their way home.

Looking back at the route, not a trace was found, only endless, deep darkness.

[Only when the way home is lost does the longing for return arise. With nowhere else to go, the thought degenerates into a simple obsession.]

They longed for their homeland, constantly hoping and praying.

Memories of my homeland are gone. Therefore, I can only revisit the ancient records inscribed on the ship's main hull, and fret over those phantoms.

They have no end called death.

After a wandering period only slightly shorter than eternity, they finally abandoned their homeland. Thus, they intentionally slumbered within a sandbox modeled after their homeland, a stage designed to prepare them for the next chapter of eternity.

That was an end.

That was just the beginning.

They are the people who traverse the stars.

From now on, they will be known as the Star Gods.

Listening to such a strange epic, the surrounding drinkers were all somewhat drunk and dissatisfied.

They were all burly reptiles and pig-men, and had little interest in these literary epics.

"Hey bro, sing 'Eighteen Pigmen Meets the Elf,' this stuff's got some kick," a burly pigman hummed.

The red-haired, undetermined man finished his drink with a smile and laughed loudly, "I'm not saying this for you roughnecks to hear."

"So you're saying this to me?" In a corner of the bar, a fallen demon girl, dressed in an ornate dress that seemed almost out of place in the bar, smiled at the red-haired Wuzhengzi in front of her.

"However, while it's interesting, it's also quite far-fetched."

The fallen demon girl smiled: "I am a student of the Ramonrad History Academy. I know many secrets about the history of humans and the past Star Gods. I have never heard such a conclusion as yours before."

"Bard, don't make history. Or are you just trying to get my attention?"

The fallen demon girl looked at the red-haired, unremarkable face before her and nodded slightly with a hint of satisfaction: "Your appearance is quite to my liking. If you want to be my lover, that's not impossible. Anyway, we fallen demons definitely need to find several partners before we come of age, so I'll make you my first partner."

"Hahaha, Miss is so cute." The red-haired, unspecies-free man sat down next to the cute girl, flicked her chin with a finger, and laughed lightly: "My name is Nils, [Stranger] Nils. Actually, I was just telling the truth."

"In the beginning of this world, the Star Gods buried their souls in... well, within the sandbox world set up by the ship's main structure, which is this planet before us. Only two Star Gods survived, or rather, two gods. One is Hawksden, the god who was defeated by humanity five hundred years ago; the other is me—a visitor from the outside world, [The Stranger] Nils."

"Don't touch someone's chin with your finger, that's rude." The fallen demon girl was clearly attracted by this fantastical historical setting. She scolded him playfully and continued to listen to the words of the man who called himself "God".

"Furthermore, I am different from Hawkesden and the others. Our hometowns are different, and our journeys are different. I am just a traveler from another place who happened to be stranded in this world."

"This planet has truly suffered many disasters."

"Of course, I'm not as divine as Hawkesden and the others. Omniscience and omnipotence are completely foreign to me. And the variety of tricks I can pull off is certainly not as extensive as theirs." [The Stranger] Nils shrugged: "To be honest, I am indeed extraordinary. Incredibly strong, incredibly intelligent, and incredibly handsome. But this is my limit; I can't reach a higher level."

"I'm almost starting to believe what you're saying." The fallen demon girl shook her head slightly and chuckled softly, "Then do you know why this world was destroyed by the Seventeen Beasts? It's an unsolved mystery in history."

"I actually know that," Nils laughed.

"It all started when the Star God landed on this planet."

"We should start from the birth of humankind."

“We can find a room, just the two of us, and talk it over in detail.”

"Hahahaha~~!" The fallen demon girl laughed heartily, but she did not resist the hand of [Stranger] Nils that gently stroked her cheek: "It's a good idea, but this inn is still a bit dilapidated."

"Come to my place, we can have a good chat for a few days."

“Of course, no problem.” Nils, the “Stranger,” immediately stood up and answered without hesitation.

He was about to say something more.

Thick, dark clouds suddenly began to spread across the sky.

The oppressive pressure almost instantly gripped everyone's hearts.

The pig-people and reptiles, whose magical power was not strong, did not feel anything too uncomfortable, but the fallen demon girl felt that the air was so stuffy that she could hardly breathe.

Meanwhile, Nils, the "Stranger," remained completely still, his expression filled with surprise and astonishment.

He suddenly ran out of the bar and looked up at the sky filled with dark clouds.

There, amidst the thick fog, pale golden pupils appeared and disappeared.

With just one glance, he knew it was the [Star God], the new [Star God], an [alien god] who had come to this planet from another planet, another world.

It is an existence that is even more terrifying, more powerful, and almost omnipotent than the former Star God Ailuc.

What is his purpose?

"The Stranger" Nils couldn't help but think of it.

Why did he come to this world that is already on the verge of destruction?

Niels couldn't figure out "The Stranger," but he was extremely interested in it.

Come, I'm on floating island number sixty-eight.

The simple words suddenly entered his mind, and Nils, the "Stranger," narrowed his eyes, his mind unsettled.

But a few seconds later, he made his decision.

Now, immediately, right now, head to Floating Island No. 68.

He didn't care about anyone else's opinion. With a swift movement, wings as bright as light suddenly appeared behind him, fluttering across the world.

The next second, he flicked the light band and left the street at lightning speed, flying towards the direction of floating island number sixty-eight.

.....

A palpable sense of pressure permeated the entire Sky Island.
