Chapter 166: Chapter166-The Fallen Star God

“You! You actually…!!”

The shadowy figure of the World’s Will was overcome with extreme emotion, its gaze toward Leo filled with awe.

The method of reversing destruction and imbuing the very essence of the world was unimaginable!

In that instant, it understood.

The existence before it was on a level far beyond what it could comprehend.

The causal forces that terrified it might be of little concern to this being.

No longer hesitating, it began to slowly recount the long-buried past, unveiling the story hidden deep within the world…

It was an era long ago.

On that day,

The world barrier of the Muline World was forcibly torn apart by a violent force, and a figure with a weakened aura fell into this world.

Despite her condition being dire, the residual pressure from her presence made the World’s Will tremble.

“Traveler from another land, your fate does not belong to this starry sky.”

The World’s Will manifested, cautiously approaching the woman.

However, even heavily injured, Hathaway’s gaze remained proud and unyielding.

“What, do you intend to banish me?”

The World’s Will fell silent.

Banish?

It had no such ability and had no intention of getting involved in any unknown troubles.

Considering her rank, the enemy she faced was far beyond what it could imagine!

It only wished for the peace of this world.

Sensing the World’s Will’s hesitation, Hathaway took a deep breath, suppressing the pain from her injuries, and spoke slowly.

“I will leave once I recover from my injuries, and I won’t bring any further harm to your world.”

“And what if… something unexpected happens?”

The World’s Will asked.

No reply came.

By this time, Hathaway had closed her eyes.

The World’s Will, helpless, had no choice but to pray that this uninvited guest would leave soon.

Over the long years that followed, the surface of the Muline World remained calm.

The World’s Will could clearly sense that Hathaway’s injuries not only failed to improve, but instead worsened, eroded by some law.

Her power continued to decline, eventually settling at the Lord of Order level.

For a long time,

She became a mysterious and powerful legend in the Muline World.

But, unfortunately, peace was always brief.

On that day, just as Hathaway had fallen into the world, the world barrier was again torn apart by a terrifying force!

A dark torrent filled with destructive energy ignored the barriers of time and space, targeting the very place where Hathaway had concealed herself!

Sensing the power capable of easily erasing ordinary deities, the World’s Will was shaken with fear, but it also secretly rejoiced.

This power was incredibly precise—while its aftermath would severely wound the Muline World, it would at least prevent its total destruction.

The World’s Will turned its gaze toward a corner of the world.

There, Hathaway stood quietly, gazing up at the incoming flood of destruction, her face devoid of fear, as though she had already anticipated this moment.

In her eyes, only boundless rage and a sense of dissatisfaction remained for her unachieved goal.

“Tell those hiding in the shadows that I will return one day!”

Boom—!

With a deafening crash that shook the entire world, Hathaway’s figure was completely consumed by the destructive torrent.

The image conjured by the World’s Will slowly dissipated.

Leo stood silently in the void, his aura cold and unyielding.

This was Hathaway’s experience in this world, which roughly matched the results he had previously deduced.

Clearly, in higher planes, Hathaway had faced enemies unimaginable to even her.

Even someone as powerful as her could not resist.

Leo replayed each scene in his mind.

With his current power, able to perceive the essence of all things, he caught a subtle detail in the image.

At the very last moment before Hathaway was consumed by the torrent, a flicker of light appeared—almost imperceptible!

It was an artifact, one that even he couldn’t fully comprehend yet.

This artifact had protected Hathaway’s soul from total annihilation, allowing it to remain undestroyed!

Thanks to this item, she had managed to survive in the depths of despair and be reborn.

Her experience seemed almost like that of a protagonist from a legendary epic!

“System, how many times has Hathaway been reborn?”

[Answering host, this is the third time!]

Leo’s eyes flashed with understanding, confirming his previous suspicions.

Long before, he had already glimpsed fragments of Hathaway’s past.

She had once been a Star God of dazzling brilliance in a distant era, a supreme existence above the stars!

In that magnificent and ancient epoch, Hathaway’s epic resonated across countless worlds, and her light outshone the stars themselves.

She was revered as the Star God of Radiance, symbolizing the ultimate in divine power!

She was the very Star God that people prayed to!

Yet no one knew why this invincible being chose to venture alone into the Unknown Land, a place considered forbidden by all high-tier beings.

A terrifying war that affected countless planes erupted soon after.

The ripples of destruction echoed throughout the starry sky for millennia before they finally faded.

The war’s outcome became an eternal mystery.

People only knew that the Star God never came out of the Unknown Land.

At that moment, all life understood one truth.

Starshine had fallen in that unknown forbidden zone.

Since that time, Unknown Land had become an absolute forbidden zone for all life, with no being daring to approach.

But Leo knew more of the truth.

Hathaway did not fall in defeat, but rather, because she could not completely eliminate the demon race deep within the Unknown Land,

she ultimately chose a desperate course of action!

At the cost of shattering her own divine essence, she cast a cataclysmic curse powerful enough to severely wound the entire demon race, delaying their threat for countless epochs.

However, this led to the demon race’s deep resentment, and they repeatedly hunted her down after her rebirth.

In her most recent incarnation, she was injured and arrived in the Muline World, only to be struck down once more by the destructive torrent.

Thus, she fell into a lower plane, Sakend, and was reborn as a Starborn in the Alpha Starfield.

Yet fortune did not favor her.

Before her memories could awaken, she was discriminated against for her human bloodline and was eventually exiled by her father to the Videro Dimension.

It was this exile that brought her fate into intersection with Leo’s.

Aresia Continent.

It was a moonlit night.

Hathaway walked alone on a muddy path leading to a small town.

Suddenly, several burly mercenaries leapt out from the bushes, blocking her path with malicious intent.

“Hey, look what we have here. A lost little beauty.”

The bald mercenary leader grinned, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth.

“Looks like you need some protection from us, and maybe a little pocket money for us to spend.”

“Hahaha, this area’s full of bad guys…”

Facing these low-tier thugs, Hathaway only showed a slight impatience at being disturbed.

“Bad guys?”

Her tone was calm.

The bald mercenary laughed lewdly.

“That’s right, since we can offer you protection, a little reward from you wouldn’t hurt, right?”

His companions snickered lewdly behind him.

Hathaway lightly shook her head, preparing to dismiss these nuisances.

At that moment, the stench of cheap rum wafted toward her.

“Stop, stop right there! You scum!”
