As a successful villainous BOSS, in addition to having ideas and aspirations, one must also keep in mind three points: First, grow sneakily, don't act rashly (once a villain acts rashly, they basically won't survive past three chapters). Second, you're not a good person, so be ruthless (becoming more evil will make you three times stronger, while redemption weakens you by seven times). Third, remember the two points above. The moment you forget them, your end is probably on its way.

In a world shaped by gods, magic, and unwavering faith, Leon awakens to a new life—but not as the naive boy who once wandered its streets. Betrayed and killed in his past, he finds himself reborn as the prophesied deity of a small, devout tribe hidden deep within a mana-rich forest. The villagers, steadfast in their belief, see him as the ancient god Relethis, returned to guide and protect them. But Leon knows the truth—he is no god. Armed only with a unique and mysterious ability to fuse objects and living things into powerful creations, he steps reluctantly into the role they expect him to fill. As Leon performs small miracles—purifying water, cultivating magical plants, and improving their lives—he begins to lose himself in the tribe’s faith and the peace it brings. Though he still remembers the betrayal and pain of his previous life, the weight of his mortal identity grows fainter with each passing day. Yet, the world beyond the forest does not rest. As whispers of his deeds spread, powerful kingdoms, rival faiths, and ancient forces take notice. With his ability growing stronger and the villagers depending on him more than ever, Leon must decide what it truly means to be a god. Will he cling to the past, or will he fully embrace the faith of his people, even if it means forgetting who he once was?

When all nine Stars were opened completely, it would be equivalent to having nine Dantian. (Most unique point to the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art.) This is a Yang (阳) cultivation method, specific to males. Once he managed to completely condense his FengFu Star, he would be able to store an extremely large amount of spiritual energy. Then he could attempt to agglomerate his blood vessels and enter the Blood Condensation stage, thus becoming a true martial artist. As the FengFu Star grew larger, his physical body also changed with it and became stronger. The FengFu Star was just like a spring nourishing his whole body. His current transformation made him greatly different from his old self. Each Star requires ‘nine transformations’ to become perfect.” The other most peculiar aspect of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art was that while ordinary cultivators had to cross only nine Heavenstages for each cultivation realm, Long Chen has to go through thirteen Heavenstages to enter the next realm. Besides, after the ninth Heavenstage, each increase allowed his power to explosively multiply.

“He’s not coming”, Serena said not knowing how to break the news to her best friend that she had just been dumped on her wedding day. “What?”, Maya laughed as she thought this was one of the other jokes Serena made to cheer her up as she was nervous. “Here”, said Serena, giving her a letter… “he dropped this for you”.
