'The most precious place in the Realm of Stars?' Hearing Dunn's remarks, all the contestants showed a hint of curiosity. The Level 6 Planetary Lords, who led the team behind them, a mystery flashed in their eyes.
"Okay, little one, come with me." Dunn smiled slightly.
Immediately, his right hand waved lightly, and the contestants in a huge square disappeared in an instant. When they reappeared, they found out that the surrounding environment had changed. They are above the sky.
Sebastian looked down and saw a vast sea. In the sea, there are huge islands. But if one looks carefully, one will find out that there is no ocean at all below this; it is instead a blue void. That is to say, these people are not in the sky but in a void. The people around also noticed this, and many people were amazed.
"This is the most precious place for you in the Realm of Stars." Dunn appeared again, and he said, "Star Island."
'Star Island?' It was the first time Sebastian heard this term.
"It is said to be one of the three Treasures of the Realm of Stars." Huo Kong, next to hi,m explained.
"Three treasures? Which three treasures?" Sebastian asked curiously.
"Well..." Huo Kong shook his head and said, "I don't know too much, but I only heard that there are three most valuable treasures in the Realm of Stars. It is something that the major forces outside cannot provide. That's why even the powerful forces, such as the Imperial Sector, sent their core youths to participate in the Stars Competition."
"Little one, you're right." Dunn looked over and smiled.
Huo Kong was startled suddenly, and then he remembered that in this Realm of Stars, Dunn, as the domain spirit, is all-powerful. Even if his voice just now was very low, it is impossible to hide from Dunn's hearing.
"In the Realm of Stars, there are indeed three treasures." Dunn glanced at the crowd and shouted, "The other two treasures are for you to understand by yourself. Today, I will tell you about Star Island first. You see, these islands below are all Star Islands. As the name suggests, Star Island is a unique space of stars. You should know that this Realm of Stars is itself a Star Space, and this Star Island can be said to be an improved version."
Speaking of which, Dunn paused. Looking at the crowd, he asked, "Do you know that the Star Space is also divided into levels?"
Many people looked calm as they had known this for a long time. For example, Iris, the twins of Aini and Aiya, etc., came from a major power, but most are confused.
"The level division of the Star Space is similar to that of civilization." Dunn explained: "From Low to High, it is divided into Low, Intermediate, and Advanced. That is Low-level Star Space, Intermediate-Level Star Space, and High-Level Star Space. The Star Space that most of you have been in contact with before is Low-Level."
Hearing this, Sebastian was a little surprised.
"This should be divided according to the strength of the Planetary Lord who created the Star Space, right?" Huo Kong asked.
"Yes." Dunn glanced at Huo Kong approvingly and continued: "The Planetary Lord is also divided into strong and weak. The stronger they are, the higher the level of the created Star Space will be. For the vast majority of Planetary Lords, only Low-Level Star Space can be created. Even in this sea of voids, the Low-Level Star Space also accounts for the vast majority."
"In a way, all the Star Spaces in our Sector are Low-Level." Huo Kong said.
"Even our doesn't have an Intermediate-Level?" Sebastian asked.
"No." Huo Kong shook his head and said, "He once hinted vaguely that he was still a little short of being able to create an Intermediate-Level Star Space."
"Come, I'll show you this sea of the void." Dunn waved his hand. The crowd moved forward slowly. There are huge islands underneath that flow like a slideshow.
"This is a rare opportunity. Only contestants like you in the Star Competition can watch it like this and experience it well." Dunn smiled mysteriously.
Everyone heard the meaning in Dunn's words; these star islands should have other meanings. Sebastian, Huo Kong, and others all looked down carefully. After observing for a while, Sebastian found something wrong. These huge islands below, their areas are not the same. Although they are big, there are also different sizes. Going forward, the bigger the island is, the smaller the number.
"This..." Sergey frowned slightly and said, "Could it be that the larger the area of Star Island is, the higher the level?"
"Yes." Dunn nodded and said, "What you saw before is all Low-level Star Space, and now, below you, it is the High-Level Star Space. Don't look at the number of High-Level Star Islands; there are a hundred, but this is the number left by the Council of Stars after countless years. If compared to the outside world, it would be good to be able to take out one or two."
Hearing this, many people looked at the twins, and the other, who were born with great powers, but the two of them didn't show any rebuttal. As Dunn said, on heritage, they are not as good as the Stars Council. Advanced Star Space is very rare indeed; basically, it is reserved for Planetary Lords above level 5. They are Level 2 Planetary Lords; even if their talent is great, they are not eligible to use it.
"The Realms of the Stars is different here." Dunn looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Everyone has the opportunity to use the High-Level Star Island. This is also a reward for you winners of the Contest of the Stars that are in the Top 1,000." Dunn turned to the front contestant and said, "You have an hour every day to come to the High-Level Star Island to stay."
"The Top 10,000 are eligible to go to the Intermediate-Level Star Island, and the time is also one hour. As for the remaining geniuses from various Sectors, you can only go to the Low-Level Star Island; which Star Island to choose depends on your own choice. Let me remind you,..." Dunn paused and continued: "Every Star Island is different; you need to consider carefully when choosing. Don't come to this island today and go to that island tomorrow. One more thing to remember, there is only one opportunity to enter and exit the island once a day, and there is no particular timing here."
"Right, I almost forgot." Dunn looked at Sebastian, Iris, Sergey, and the other top 100 people, patted his forehead, and said, "I am old and forgetful. The top 100 have a different time than everyone else; from 33 to 100 is two hours."
"As for the many geniuses in the Top 32, the higher the ranking, the more time. Specifically, you can see for yourself." Dunn waved his hand.
Immediately, a stream of light passed by. Sebastian, Iris, and the others all received an information panel, which is about the time they have. Sebastian glanced at it, and his eyes widened slightly.
"Hahaha, are you surprised?" Dunn looked at Sebastian, smiled, and said, "As the Champion of the Stars Competition, the rewards are very generous."
This sentence aroused the curiosity of many people. Huo Kong immediately asked, "Sebastian, how much time do you have?"
"Mine is six hours." Sergey looked over and asked curiously, "You as a champion for ten hours? Or more?"
"See for yourself." Sebastian was a little helpless and exposed the information panel.
Taking a look, the others all stared wide-eyed. If there was water in their mouths, it would be spit right out.
"Twenty-four hours?" Sergey was also surprised: "This is too much."
"You..." Huo Kong also blinked and said, "I want to live on the High-Level Star Island all day."
Even with Iris, Baroque, and the others, there was also a glimmer of envy in their eyes.
"No can do, this is the Championship's reward." Dunn shrugged and smiled slightly. "The so-called winner takes all, so you, little one, you have to work hard in the future. Everything is about trying to be number one. In the Realm of Stars, first place gets the most generous reward."
"Okay, any more questions?" Dunn looked at everyone and asked loudly. "If not, I'll go first."
At this time, the sharp-eyed Aiya pointed in a distant direction and curiously asked, "Sir Dunn, what is that? Is it also an island?"
Hearing Aiya's words, everyone turned their eyes and looked in the direction she pointed. They found that in the distant sea of the void, there was a shadowy behemoth. They were not sure what it was, but the area was far bigger than the High-Level Star Islands below.
"It's for you to find out." A mysterious smile appeared on Dunn's face. "This is also a Star Island. Guess what level it is?"
"Star Island?" Everyone was slightly taken aback. This behemoth turned out to be a Star Island. Such a large area was far larger than a High-Level Star Island, which was beyond everyone's vision. Only a few people, such as Iris and Aiya, raised their brows slightly as if thinking of something.
"This knowledge is very difficult for you to come into contact with, little one." Dunn smiled slightly. "The level of Star Space is divided, and High is not the most advanced. Above High-Level Star Space, there is a higher existence called Super Star Space. It is much more powerful and has a qualitative difference. This island is a Super Star Island, and it is also the only Super Star Island currently in the Realms of Stars. This Star Island is one of the real Three Treasures."
Dunn's tone was solemn and proud.
"Super Star Island?" Sebastian blinked. He glanced at Huo Kong beside him and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Was the one who created the Super Star Island a more powerful existence than a Level 6 Planetary Lord?
"Some of you should have guessed it." Dunn smiled. "Yes, this is a treasure left by a prominent existence. The Super Star Space has all kinds of incredible effects and is far from comparable to other Star Spaces."
"Then are we eligible to go in?" Baroque asked impatiently.
"You?" Dunn glanced at Baroque, an inexplicable smile appearing on his face. He suddenly laughed. "Of course, there is a chance, but it is very slim."
"Is it necessary to do something or pay the corresponding price?" Baroque continued.
"Super Star Island is just that." Dunn smiled lightly. "All the Level 6 Planetary Lords of the Stars Council want to enter, but it is difficult, let alone you, Level 2 Planetary Lords. Don't think about that, but focus on your strength first. The most important thing for you right now is to find the right instructor. A good teacher can save you many detours. Okay, that's all. I've said everything today, which is far more than usual. Goodbye, little one."
Dunn winked and disappeared.
Sebastian and the other contestants also vanished, returning to the huge square out of thin air. At this time, Svananóg and the others were already waiting.
Seeing the contestants return, Bru walked over with a smile. "How is it? Do you understand the gap now?"
Aya, one of the twins, pouted. "I only have four hours a day on the Star Island. That's very short."
"Younger sister..." Aiya quickly glared at Aya.
"It was like that at the beginning." Bru shrugged. "But it's not fixed. If you perform well in the future, your time can be increased."
"Can the time be increased?" They were surprised.
"You'll understand gradually." Bru smiled. "You'll stay here a long time and become familiar with many things. Now is the crucial time for apprenticeships. Come with me first." Bru took the twins away.
Svananóg also called Sebastian over. "You are the Champion. According to regulations, you can designate a council member as your teacher. Do you have any thoughts?"
"To be honest, I don't know any members of the Council." Sebastian shrugged.
"Haha." Svananóg smiled. "I was the same at the beginning. I chose my current teacher by mistake and got lucky. Let me tell you about the Council. There are 999 members in total. Volkmar, who presided over the competition, is also one of them and the youngest. All are Level 6 Planetary Lords and are very powerful, at least stronger than me. Naturally, there are differences in strength."
He looked at Sebastian. "Naturally, the older they are, the stronger and more esteemed they are. But when choosing a teacher, suitability matters more than power. The kind of civilization you build determines what kind of teacher you need. Aiya and Aya already have a powerful teacher reserved. But you…" Svananóg shook his head. "You're different. You've built an unusual civilization; no one can truly teach you."
"What advice do you have?" Sebastian asked.
"While you were away," Svananóg smiled, "Many Councilors sent messages, and they all want to take you as a disciple."
Sebastian nodded. This wasn't surprising.
"There is even a Deputy Speaker," Council said seriously.
"Deputy Speaker?" Sebastian blinked. This was a true high-level figure of the Council.
"One of them is Volkmar's," the Council continued. "He is optimistic about you and personally reached out to me. If you agree, he'll accept you immediately."
"Do you think..." Sebastian felt the tone was odd.
"No." Council shook his head. "I don't recommend him. Though Volkmar has great power, he also has many disciples, and some things are hard to explain. You understand."
Sebastian nodded. The meaning was clear.
"Then how should I choose?" he asked.
"Volkmar isn't the only Deputy Speaker. Three others also want you. Another Deputy Speaker sent someone, but…" Council paused. "She can only accept you as a named disciple."
"Named disciple?" Sebastian blinked.
"You're surprised, right?" Council laughed. "That some still look down on monsters like you. It's not arrogance; there are reasons. You can try."
"What do you mean?" Sebastian asked.
"She's actually the best choice if you're willing."
Sebastian asked, "Who is this person?"
"Her name is Este. Everyone calls her the Ruler of the Este Island. Among the six Deputy Speakers, she's the only female."
