I alone am the Honoured One!

"Time... stopped?"

Zhao Tian's blue eyes wavered and he hastily looked around, his mind swirling with various thoughts.

What the hell is happening?

Why has time stopped?

Am I imagining things?

As he tried to enter the artifact... he couldn't.

His eyes narrowed and he quickly dashed through the air into the time-stopped world.

Everything is frozen in motion, nothing is moving. The astral beasts and even the burning building... the fire is frozen in time.

*swoosh* He quickly hurled towards his women, who were fighting the astral beasts, and saw that they were also still in time.

Their attacks are also motionless in space.

Zhao Tian's head boiled in confusion and he was totally perplexed by the whole situation.

"Calm.. down..."

He took a deep breath to calm down his racing heart and walked towards Zhao Ying who was standing with the light sword in her hand.

"Ying'er..." He touched her cheek in hopes that she might wake up.

"Ying'er..." He shook her body gently but there was no reaction from her, leaving him even more confused.

"Am I in some illusion? But I didn't sense any attack from anyone... nor did I sense any malicious presence around me at that time."

"Maybe... it is like that time? When I was with my real mother, I was in some white place. something like that?"

As he was thinking, suddenly a blind light flashed on his face. *feen*

He hurriedly shielded his face with his hand from the light and slowly opened his eyes, his eyebrows squinting because of the blinding light.

As he opened his eyes, he took a good look and saw that the whole sky is glowing with rich golden energy.

Huh? What kind of energy is this?

He felt the space around him tremble and *treek* he heard faint noises echoing in the air.

As he turned his head, he saw the space fabric was getting torn by some pressure, and cracks appeared in the space.

It began to crack like glass and the web of cracks continued to develop and shatter into pieces.

But in the next instant, the shattered space fabric is quickly restored to its old state.

At this time, the golden sky split into two, as if reality itself were shredded by some unimaginable force.

The fractures started to expand along the sky like forming a long line, creating a massive rift in the sky that eventually tore apart.

A single golden eye peeked out from the rift in space, looking down at the earth, which was standing still in time.

As Zhao Tian gazed into the enormous golden eye, his pupils shrank in utter shock, and his breath caught in his throat.

His nerves screamed in fear and he realized that he was in front of an overpowered entity.

Looking into the golden eye, his mind wobbled and his thoughts disoriented in chaos.

Qian Shi who was floating in the air, trembled instinctively in front of a majestic presence.

She raised her hand and looked at her palm which was shaking violently in fear.

"Finally... I never thought I would get to see you once again in my life."

Her golden eyes gazed into the gigantic single golden eye in the golden sky and a mumble escaped her lips.

"The Eye of the Heaven."

"It's been some thousands of years since I met you."

She then turned her gaze to look at Zhao Tian, who was on the floor and she muttered "Take a good look, My darling..."

"This is the foe you are going to fight in the future and I am sure... you will see what's beyond this heavens and achieve Godhood."

"...Just like the First Honoured one."

Her gaze softened and uttered "As I thought... you are not restricted under the heavens, so you can move in this time-stopped world of heavens."

"Your star... is going to change, my darling."

"This... is a rare phenomenon anyone could rarely get to see. Haha, they can't get to see since they are stopped by time."

"A star's ascension."

"An ascension of a star from Middle Star to High Star."

" ...by the heavens itself."

As she said, she closed her eyes, intaking a deep breath, and sat in the air as the regal throne appeared below her.

"I hope... my mind won't get boggled because of the intense warp in space."

...

Zhao Tian who was standing on the floor, suddenly felt the space twirl around him and clutched his head in tremendous pain.

His eyebrows winced and as he was familiar with the space energy, he quickly realized "A space warp..."

"On a large scale... which is even making my brain ache. But... why the space is warping?"

When he uses teleportation, the space warps for a second, allowing him to easily travel to his artifact.

His body has gotten used to this space warp after all these days of using teleportation.

But his mind couldn't comprehend this high level of space warp.

However, suddenly his blue eyes glowed faintly, and in frustration, he punched at the air.

*thrash* But his punch cracked the space as it shattered like a glass and in the next instant, it was restored.

Closing his eyes, he extended his hand and instinctively grabbed into the air. His fingers clutched the space tightly and the space began to crack again because of his force.

He blinked his eyes as he gained some clarity and he felt the blank space around him.

'This is somewhat strange... this is....'

...

Meanwhile, inside Zhao Tian-

An angelic voice was heard "Is that the presence of Eye of the Heaven?"

"Y-Yes, I am also sensing it."

"Huh? What is that doing in a middle star?"

"Maybe that one-in-a-million phenomenon is occurring?"

"Ascension of a middle star?"

"That must be it."

"Do you think, it came searching for... Lord Vester?"

"No, the Eye of the Heaven can't detect Vester's presence because of his physique..."

"Yeah... then it is here for the Ascension..."

"Yeah, should be..."

"I hope he is okay."
