In the Star Realm, a silver universe stretched infinitely in the void. Among all the outer planes, the Star Realm was uniquely special, serving as the void between all planes and worlds. In fact, nearly all plane-shifting magic traveled through the Star Realm as a medium.
Many beings who have never truly visited the Star Realm have already indirectly touched its power through such travel.
Meanwhile, in this silvery domain, a portal slowly unfolded.
A silver dragon, matching the Star Realm's color scheme, stepped through. Its majestic body appeared within this outer plane.
Garon had long understood the Star Realm from the dragon heritage and various writings.
However, this was his first true step into this silver void.
New to the environment, the silver dragon shook its head, surveying the surroundings.
The scenery of the Star Realm was unique, different from all other planes and filled with bizarre and beautiful sights.
The backdrop here was black, but endless silver points, lines, streams, and swirls of light constantly flickered, tinting the Star Realm in radiant silver, forming a cosmic river-like vista.
Additionally, there were spiraling silver conduits filled the Star Realm, semi-transparent, sometimes fading away, sometimes flashing brightly.
These were the Star Realm conduits, linking the Star Realm with other planes and the Prime Material Realm.
Primarily, plane-shifting through the Star Realm involved these conduits.
Garon looked around.
He peered into the distance, feeling the vast expanse around him.
However, few living creatures were visible within his broad view, lending a sparse and silent feel to the Star Realm.
The silver dragon spread its wings, gently flapping them.
"No gravity."
Garon felt no gravitational pull in the Star Realm.
Simultaneously, his body flipped curiously.
His view spun around, but apart from that, he felt no discomfort, his eyes filled with the unchanged beauty of the silver starry sky.
"No gravity, no direction, no wind, no temperature."
The descriptions of the Star Realm were accurate.
Garon marveled at this strange world.
Most crucially,
"There is no passage of time here."
Garon narrowed his eyes, looking towards the River of Time.
The River of Time here had ceased flowing, theoretically freezing everything, yet one could still think and move normally in the Star Realm.
Many ancient and powerful beings chose to reside in the Star Realm precisely because the halted time allowed them to avoid the constraints of lifespan.
All beings in the Star Realm were immortal.
If one lived in the Star Realm for long without being immortal, leaving it would be impossible as time outside continued to flow normally.
Upon leaving, one would experience the passage of time they were supposed to endure.
For non-immortals relying on the Star Realm to live, this would be akin to suicide.
Thus, although gods often used the Star Realm as a battlefield, causing suffering to its inhabitants with their divine clashes, few Star Realm creatures wished to leave for the Prime Material Realm or other planes.
Garon took a deep breath.
No air moved.
There was also no air here.
However, beings in the Star Realm didn't need to breathe or eat, and the paused flow of time brought many peculiar effects.
Garon clenched his dragon claw.
He felt the rapid flow of blood within him, a surging power brewing inside.
Every cell in his body seemed to rejoice, like a fish in the sea or a bird in the sky.
Buzz!
Ripples undulated across the River of Time, the endless waters of time swirling around Garon.
In an instant, Garon entered his Titanized state.
However, unlike in the Prime Material Realm,
Here, his Titanized form stretched over three thousand meters from head to tail, his dragon wings spreading over four thousand meters, truly a monstrous beast, resembling a silver asteroid, radiating fearsome might like a sweeping storm.
"This feeling, it's wonderful!"
Garon appeared intoxicated.
It felt like moving from a cramped jar into the vast ocean, experiencing an unbounded sense of freedom.
In the Prime Material Realm, Garon, as a demigod, was actually quite restrained, always displaying the strength at the threshold of demigod status, but now, Garon was no longer a newcomer to the demigod level.
In the Star Realm, he could unleash his full potential.
Arriving in the Star Realm for the first time, Garon deeply felt the differences from the Prime Material Realm.
No wonder many ancient dragons chose to leave the Prime Material Realm to live in outer planes.
It wasn't just because one could be immortal in the Star Realm, but because even legendary beings in the Prime Material Realm were subjected to certain suppressions, only in outer planes like the Star Realm could one fully unleash their potential.
After reveling in the vast silver void for a moment,
Garon deactivated his Titanization.
Floating in the silver vacuum, the silver dragon blended seamlessly with the surroundings, making it hard for those with poor vision to spot him.
At the same time, Garon tried to move.
The Star Realm was a very special place.
Many researchers believed it was actually a psychic world, where memory, thought, spirit, dreams, and souls formed the true Star Realm.
The Star Realm had no concept of space.
Movement here depended on mental power, intelligence, willpower, and other attributes.
Some casters moved incredibly fast in the Star Realm, with legendary casters, due to their powerful psychic abilities, even outrunning magical ships, which was quite astonishing.
Garon fluttered his dragon wings, but his body remained still.
Then, he looked to his right, and with a thought,
Whoosh!
The silver dragon disappeared from its spot, reappearing ten kilometers away in the blink of an eye.
"Really interesting."
Garon's eyes sparkled, then, like a child with a new toy, his body kept blinking and teleporting, experimenting with the strange sensation of moving by thought.
This mode of movement made Garon feel like he was piloting a dragon's body rather than being the dragon itself.
It was a uniquely enjoyable sensation.
Garon knew the coordinates of the dragon's residence in the Star Realm, but he didn't teleport directly there. Instead, he moved swiftly in a circuitous route, experiencing the differences between the Star Realm and the Prime Material Realm, familiarizing himself with the environment.
The Star Realm was too vast, so it was difficult to spot living creatures, making it seem desolate and cold.
However, after traveling an unknown distance in one direction, Garon finally encountered the first living creature of the Star Realm.
It was a hundred-meter-long, semi-transparent blue behemoth.
Tiny flowing blue lights made up its fish-like body, with endless silver points shimmering within, making it look like a small galaxy, incredibly beautiful.
Where its body passed, blue and silver lights were born, lingering for a long time.
Star Whale.
One of the most common native creatures of the Star Realm.
Star Whales were huge but only possessed legendary strength and were very gentle, never harming other creatures.
If one lost their way in the Star Realm, following the tail light of a Star Whale could lead to a floating island residence, as Star Whales sometimes stopped at these islands to rest.
Since movement depended on psychic power, Star Realm creatures didn't need to eat, and their physical strength didn't change, but they still needed to rest.
Buzz!
An ethereal and vast whale song arose, as if from ancient times.
The Star Whale saw the silver dragon, curiosity in its eyes as it observed Garon a few times, but it did not approach him, continuing on its original path instead.
There were many dragons living in the Star Realm.
Thus, to the Star Whale, Garon was nothing special, except for the three pairs of serpentine, prominent dragon horns that looked quite distinctive.
The silhouette of the Star Whale gradually faded away.
Garon did not disturb this gentle and beautiful beast, his body once again began to move.
The River of Time in the Star Realm remained still.
However, Garon had tested and found that his time-related abilities could still be normally executed in the Star Realm, and their power and effects were even greatly enhanced. For some reason, his connection with the River of Time here was even deeper.
"Creatures in the Star Realm are immortal, but their actual age is calculated according to the Prime Material Realm."
"Then the question arises."
Garon's face showed a look of contemplation and curiosity.
"What effect would plundering the Breath of Time have on Star Realm creatures?"
"And given the Star Realm's already peculiar state of time stagnation, what would happen to creatures within my Time Stop domain?"
As he moved, Garon gradually encountered some unique native creatures of the Star Realm.
These included the Star Realm Leviathan, a beast as large as a giant crab; the Star Bat, small and delicate with extremely fast flying speed; the Star Serpent, sinuous and long; the Star Pattern Bird, which resembled a small phoenix;
and now appearing before Garon, a creature with four pairs of fearsome limbs and covered in spikes: the Demon Hunting Spider.
As the name suggests, the Demon Hunting Spider was a creature that enjoyed hunting demons and fed on them.
They were native inhabitants of the Star Realm, a type of psychic life form.
Demon Hunting Spiders could use their innate spell-like abilities to reach the Abyss through Star Realm conduits, manifesting flesh bodies to lurk and hunt demons in the Abyss.
If they died accidentally, only their fleshly avatar died, and their psychic true body in the Star Realm could recover after a short rest.
Of course,
Demon Hunting Spiders were not particularly strong.
They hunted only the lowest classes of demons, such as demon worms, lesser demons, and dretches.
It is said that these creatures were not naturally born.
The most widespread theory is that a spellcaster who despised demons created the Demon Hunting Spiders through biological experimentation.
Hiss hiss
hiss. The three-meter-wide Demon Hunting Spider made a piercing angry noise, its numerous compound eyes glaring at the silver dragon.
As Garon moved through the Star Realm, he had accidentally destroyed the spider's nest.
In the Star Realm, most residences were constructed from soil and stone materials transported from other planes, forming floating islands. Solitary creatures like the Demon Hunting Spider would create crater-like spider nests, suspended in the silver vacuum.
Demon Hunting Spiders are fearless creatures, devoid of the emotion of fear.
After Garon shattered its nest, the spider brandished its limbs in a futile display, charging at Garon with its insignificant body.
"It's somewhat cute."
Garon blinked, lightly swatting the Demon Hunting Spider with a dragon wing.
Whoo!
A forceful yet gentle blast, like a fierce wind, blew the spider away, sending it flying out of Garon's view like a shooting star.
When the disoriented Demon Hunting Spider stabilized itself and sought to retaliate against the destroyer of its nest, it had already lost its target.
Angry, it manifested a physical form and descended to the Abyss to vent its frustrations by hunting lesser demons.
As for the instigator, the silver dragon, he felt no guilt over his actions and continued his journey in the Star Realm, enjoying the unique landscapes and features of this plane.
After a month passed in the Prime Material Realm,
Garon finally paused his brief exploration of the Star Realm and targeted a dragon residence, initiating a time transfer.
It was time to announce the arrival of the Lord of the Dragon Court to the creatures of the Star Realm.
Using the River of Time as a medium, the silver dragon's body vanished from its original location and instantly appeared at another spot in the Star Realm, at a dragon residence.
In this silver world, a series of floating islands remained motionless.
They were not far apart, with palaces, towers, mountains, and icebergs of various Prime Material Realm scenes and buildings standing on them. One could see lines of large and small dragons moving and flying between the islands.
At a distance from the dragon archipelago, a faintly visible giant irregular platform shaped like a pentagram could be seen. It covered an area of approximately 400,000 square kilometers, adorned with grand buildings unified in style, mainly golden and white temples.
This was the Angel Reef near the dragon residence, inhabited by a neutral good creature, the Star Realm Apostles.
At this moment, between the Angel Reef and the dragon archipelago, the silhouette of the silver dragon materialized.
Garon looked around at his surroundings.
Simultaneously, the instant appearance of the demigod dragon's aura drew the attention of many Star Realm dragons.
Even in the Star Realm, a demigod dragon was a rare and powerful entity.
Gold dragons, red dragons, amethyst dragons, crystal dragons, and silver dragons—a large number of true dragons flew out from the dragon archipelago upon spotting Garon.
The crown-like six dragon horns, the shimmering silver scales, the bands of black scales covering his body—they recognized Garon's identity immediately.
"Lord Dragon, the Star Realm dragons welcome your arrival," the true dragons said, their eyes showing reverence.
"Haha, I had heard that the Lord of the Dragon Court had left the Prime Material Realm to come to the Star Realm," a deep voice said.
"I just didn't expect that our residence would have the honor of welcoming your arrival," another graceful voice followed.
Garon turned towards the source of the voices.
Two dark dragons, one male and one female, appeared in Garon's view, resembling black-scaled red dragons. They were robust, muscular, and each was over seventy meters long, radiating the mighty aura of demigod dragons.
Interestingly,
Between the two dark dragons was a semi-transparent, ethereal chain linking one dragon claw of each, binding them together.
Garon recognized these dragons.
Star Realm Dragons.
This term referred to their dragon species, not simply that they were residing in the Star Realm.
Star Realm Dragons were one of the rare dragon species that naturally grew into demigod-like beings, but their limit was demigod power.
When Star Realm Dragons were born, they were only one and a half meters long and very weak.
Their bodies wouldn't grow, remaining about one and a half meters for a long time until they found their true love, their other half.
Once two Star Realm Dragons became mates and vowed eternal love,
Their power would surge, rapidly growing into demigod beings together.
The chain between the Star Realm Dragon mates, according to legend, was a blessing from the high god Ao on the eternal love between Star Realm Dragons, allowing the two dragons to communicate mentally, share power, spirit, life force, and more.
A complete Star Realm Dragon would never die alone.
When one complete Star Realm Dragon died, its mate would follow.
Among all races across the multiverse, the most steadfast, eternal love belonged to the Star Realm Dragons.
After brief communication,
Garon learned the names of the two Star Realm Dragons.
They were the leaders of this dragon archipelago.
The male Star Realm Dragon was named Eikoloman, and the female was named Saixi.
"Please follow us," the two Star Realm dragons said in unison.
Under their guidance, Garon arrived at a floating island with a grand palace made entirely of black crystal.
"Lord Dragon, you can temporarily reside here," they offered.
Garon nodded slightly, accepting their hospitality without refusal.
"I noticed the Angel Reef of the Star Realm Apostles not far from the dragon residence," he said.
"What's the situation with those Star Realm Apostles?"
The Star Realm Apostles were similar to seraphim, generally weaker but still considered angels by many creatures of the Prime Material Realm.
"The leader of the Star Realm Apostles, Collins, witnessed the vows of eternal love between me and my mate," they explained.
"He is our ally and has also assisted us in our wars against the elves."
Garon nodded, saying, "I see."
"Having the Star Realm Apostles as allies is a good thing."
Creatures with titles like apostles or seraphim typically weren't weak.
After a pause, Garon's pupils sharpened as he said, "The dragon race in the Prime Material Realm has already secured a decisive advantage and no longer needs me. I came to the Star Realm to aid the Star Realm dragons."
The battlefield of the outer planes was not as smooth as that of the Prime Material Realm.
After all, there was no existence in the outer planes that could sweep away all high-level enemy forces.
For example, in the Star Realm, while the dragon race held an advantage, it was not significant.
However, due to the overwhelming advantage in the Prime Material Realm and the mass deaths of elven followers, the power of the elven demigods was gradually weakening, and the advantage of the Star Realm dragons was also expanding, albeit slowly.
"Forgive our presumption," they said solemnly.
"Lord Dragon, although you are powerful and secured the victory in the Prime Material Realm single-handedly, as a demigod, you cannot play a decisive role in the Star Realm battlefield, nor can you turn the tide of battle."
"After all, no matter how strong you are here, you are not a match for lesser divine powers," the Star Realm dragons exchanged glances as they spoke.
Dragons are known for their direct speech, and they were telling the truth.
Garon remained unbothered, his expression calm.
"I understand these points."
"However, having one more demigod in the Star Realm will certainly reduce the pressure on the dragons here, no matter what," he said.
The Star Realm dragons showed deep respect, saying, "We admire your willingness to risk leaving the Prime Material Realm to aid the Star Realm. Many true dragons have said that you are the hope for the revitalization and restoration of the dragon race's glory."
"Now it seems to be true."
Garon, unabashed, accepted their praise.
"You flatter me. This is my duty as the Lord of the Dragon Court."
The Star Realm dragons then briefed Garon on the situation facing their dragon army.
"In the depths of the Star Realm, the battlefield of the Dragon Gods and Elven Deities has become a forbidden zone of life."
"The Star Realm is incredibly vast, and due to its special environment, it is difficult to form a unified military front."
"Surrounding the deities of both sides, dragon and elven floating islands are scattered, dividing each into small local battlefields."
"After defeating their enemies and achieving victory in local battlefields, they then regroup with other strongholds."
"This method of gradually eating away at the enemy forces, step by step accumulating an advantage, is the main way wars are conducted in the Star Realm."
"Currently, we dragons are the advantaged side, but the elven power is still significant, with a plethora of demigods. Only when the faith of the elven demigods weakens to a certain extent can a true victory be secured."
Listening to the Star Realm dragons' explanation, Garon nodded, understanding the basic situation here.
The Prime Material Realm, this key battlefield, had already been set for victory.
Thus, the transition from advantage to victory in the Star Realm, the Elemental Planes, and the Chaos Seas was just a matter of time.
After a pause, the Star Realm dragons added, "Recently, many elven floating islands have begun to fortify their defenses, rarely initiating attacks."
"We discovered that they are constructing large-scale teleportation arrays within the islands, capable of mass-transferring their common folk."
"They looked towards Garon, slowly saying, "Unless something unexpected happens, the elves are about to declare defeat, abandon their territories, and retreat en masse back to the elven realms."
"Sooner or later, we dragons will emerge as the victors."
Garon nodded slightly.
The Star Realm dragons were correct.
The el
ven deities, knowing victory was hopeless and facing increasingly severe losses, were beginning to consider ending the war.
And this was the best time to kill a deity and achieve the final outcome.
The elven chief deity was already severely wounded.
When one more middle divine power from the elven pantheon was lost,
And one more dragon god was gained,
The gradual shift in power would mean that even if a deity fell, the elves would no longer have the strength to sustain the war. They would have to bitterly accept defeat. Otherwise, the elves might suffer vital damage from a counterattack, but they would face the risk of annihilation.
Taking the Dragonfall War as a lesson,
Garon could even guess the consequences if the elven pantheon recklessly restarted the war.
Severe casualties would only lead ordinary elven followers to start doubting whether their deities were truly protecting their race or pushing them into an abyssal hell.
At that time, the elven deity system, not being among the stronger divine powers, would face a catastrophic blow.
If other deity systems kicked them while they were down, they might even be wiped out.
"But how exactly will the Dragon Gods draw out the gods of destiny and history?" Garon shook his head, putting the thought aside.
This was not his concern.
His mission was to announce his arrival and begin participating in the war in the Star Realm. The rest, the Metallic Dragon God and the Immortal Dragon Queen, would naturally handle.
Princess Sun Wheel was in Garon's hands; now, the elven deities, not he, should be worried.
"Lord Dragon, we had planned to attack a nearby elven floating island after some time."
"Now that you are here, we will surely achieve victory in this attack," the Star Realm dragons thought for a moment and said.
"Oh?"
"How strong is the enemy? Tell me in detail," Garon asked.
"Rosensholt Archipelago, one of the elven floating island strongholds in the Star Realm, also our enemy in this local battle zone."
"Rosensholt Archipelago is protected by two demigod-level elves, one of whom has an independent divine realm and priesthood, the strongest among them."
Demigods with their own divine realms and followers generally rank higher in demigod strength.
"The other demigod is a divine apostle, dependent on the chief elven deity, weaker in strength."
"My mate and I can barely suppress them, but we've always struggled to truly defeat them."
After listening to the Star Realm dragons, Garon's eyes sharpened, saying, "Perfect, I'm very curious to know how much stronger a demigod can be in the Star Realm compared to the Prime Material Realm."
