Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 390: Rebirth or Complete Destruction

The wind was howling, as if playing a battle song for the upcoming decisive battle. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li stood side by side at the front of the team, and behind them were allies from every corner of the Nine Star Realm. Everyone's face was full of determination. They knew that after this battle, the Nine Star Realm would usher in a new life, or be completely destroyed.

"Xingchen, are you ready?" Nanli turned his head, and his cold voice was particularly clear in the whistling wind.

Gao Xingchen clenched the sword in his hand, and the sword emitted a dazzling golden light, which was the embodiment of the power of the stars. "Be ready, for the future of the Nine Star Realm, and for those who have fought and sacrificed for it."

"Let's go!" Nan Li gave an order and turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the mysterious man's stronghold.

Gao Xingchen followed closely behind, with the allied army surging like a tide behind him. They cut through the thorns and brambles along the way, and soon arrived at the mysterious man's base - a towering black giant tower.

The giant tower is surrounded by a dense army of mysterious men. They are wearing black armor and holding various weapons, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Kill!" Gao Xingchen roared and rushed into the enemy camp first. The long sword in his hand turned into golden lightning, and enemies fell down wherever he passed.

Nan Li's figure shuttled across the battlefield like a ghost, and every flash was accompanied by a flash of blood. The mysterious man's army was like paper in front of her and could not withstand a single blow.

"Heart of the Stars, protect!" Gao Xingchen held the sword in both hands and raised it above his head. The power of the stars formed a huge golden light shield around him, covering all the allies around him.

"Rain of stars!" With Gao Xingchen's roar, countless golden sword auras fell from the sky and poured down on the enemy camp like a rainstorm, with screams rang out one after another.

The battle was extremely fierce. Both sides were blood-thirsty. The blood dyed the ground red and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li fought side by side, they had perfect tacit understanding and coordinated perfectly. Gao Xingchen was responsible for the frontal attack and attracted the enemy's firepower, while Nan Li used her flexible body to create chaos behind the enemy and caused huge casualties to the enemy.

Under their leadership, the morale of the allies was boosted, they fought more courageously and gradually gained the upper hand.

However, at this moment, a powerful aura rose from the black giant tower, accompanied by a deafening roar...

Seeing that the situation was not good, the mysterious man's black cloak fluttered in the wind. He flashed and turned into a ball of black mist, trying to escape in the chaos.

"Want to run?" Gao Xingchen sneered, and the Heart of Stars emitted a burning light on his chest, as if sensing the will of its master. He stomped his feet hard, and his figure shot out like an arrow from a bow. The long sword in his hand drew a golden arc and headed straight for the black fog.

"Xingchen, be careful!" Nan Li's heart tightened when he saw this. Although Gao Xingchen was fast, the mysterious man was obviously no ordinary person. He could even turn into black mist and escape, which showed that his martial arts method was strange and unpredictable.

Before Nan Li finished his words, the black mist suddenly paused in mid-air, then suddenly exploded, transforming into countless black sharp blades, attacking Gao Xingchen in an overwhelming manner.

"A mere trifle!" Gao Xingchen was not in a hurry. The power of the stars formed a golden shield around him, blocking all the black blades. At the same time, he shook his wrist, and the long sword danced like a spirit snake, with sword energy running wild, smashing those blades one by one.

However, just when Gao Xingchen shattered the last sharp blade, the black fog unexpectedly condensed again, but this time, a creepy laugh came from the black fog: "Hahaha, Gao Xingchen, do you think you can stop me like this? I tell you, today, all of you will die here!"

The black fog rolled, like a ferocious beast that was ready to devour its prey, and it pounced towards Gao Xingchen with the momentum to destroy the world.

"Xingchen!" Nan Li saw this and without thinking too much, he flashed and stood in front of Gao Xingchen. The sword in his hand turned into a silver lightning and met the black fog.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Nan Li was shocked and retreated repeatedly, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Nanli!" Gao Xingchen was shocked and quickly stepped forward to support her, asking with concern, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Nan Li shook his head, but his eyes were fixed on the black mist, and he said in a deep voice: "Xingchen, be careful, this guy is very strong!"

Gao Xingchen nodded, a solemn look flashed in his eyes. He knew that today's battle would be the most difficult battle in their lives.

"Heart of the Stars, protect!" Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, grasped the sword with both hands, and raised it above his head. The power of the stars formed a huge golden light shield around him, covering both him and Nanli.

"The brilliance of the stars illuminates the nine heavens!" Gao Xingchen roared, and the heart of the stars burst out with unprecedented light. A dazzling golden beam of light shot up into the sky, as if illuminating the entire world.

Under the illumination of the light, the black fog rolled violently, emitting bursts of shrill screams.

"what--"

The mysterious man's painful roar echoed on the battlefield. He wanted to escape from this space shrouded in light, but found that he had nowhere to escape.

The light became brighter and brighter, turning the entire battlefield golden. Everyone's eyes were focused on the beam of light, holding their breath, waiting for the final result.

Suddenly, a vague figure gradually emerged in the beam of light...

The golden light gradually dissipated, and the blurry figure in the light column finally appeared clearly in front of everyone.

He was an old man with a hunched body and his face was full of traces of time. However, what was most striking was his eyes, which were deep and empty, as if he had lost his soul. Only wisps of black mist were rolling in them, exuding a heart-pounding evil aura.

"Who... who is he?" Pharmacist Li looked at the old man, his eyes full of confusion and fear.

Gao Xingchen did not answer. He stared at the old man closely. A familiar feeling surged in his heart, as if he had seen him somewhere, but he could not remember where.

"Xingchen, be careful, he is very dangerous!" Nanli felt the powerful aura emanating from the old man, her heart trembled, and she quickly reminded him.

Gao Xingchen nodded and tightened his grip on the sword. He knew that the battle was not over yet, and it could even be said that the real battle had just begun.

"How dare you, ants, obstruct me!" The old man spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and low, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell, making people shudder, "I will make you pay for your stupidity!"

After saying that, the old man suddenly raised his head, a dark light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire mountaintop. Everyone felt their breathing stagnate, as if a mountain was pressing on their chest. Even Gao Xingchen and Nan Li felt suffocated.

"Xingchen, he is an ancient soul eroded by the power of darkness!" Nan Li's voice sounded beside Gao Xingchen's ears, with a hint of solemnity, "His target is the Heart of Stars, and he wants to use the power of the Heart of Stars to rule the entire Nine Stars Realm!"

Gao Xingchen was shocked and finally understood. No wonder he felt familiar with the old man. It turned out that the old man was the same person who was behind the control of the Warcraft before!

"You want the Heart of the Star? Dream on!" Gao Xingchen roared, and the power of the stars surged wildly, blocking the pressure. "I will never let you succeed!"

"You don't know your own limitations!" The old man sneered. His figure flashed and turned into a black shadow, rushing towards Gao Xingchen.

Gao Xingchen did not dare to be careless. The light of the Star Heart became brighter and a golden beam of light shot up into the sky, enveloping the old man.

“Ah——” The old man let out a shrill scream, his body constantly twisting in the light column, struggling to rush out.

"Xingchen, use your love and courage to purify him!" Nan Li's voice came again, "He has been blinded by the power of darkness. Only love and courage can dispel the darkness in his heart and restore his sanity!"

Gao Xingchen's heart moved when he heard this. Yes, love and courage are the most powerful forces. Perhaps he can use this power to save this poor soul!

Thinking of this, Gao Xingchen no longer hesitated. He closed his eyes and poured all the love and courage in his heart into the power of the stars. The golden light became even more dazzling, as if a sun was rising slowly on the top of the mountain...

The golden light dispelled the darkness covering the top of the mountain like the rising sun, and the suffocating pressure also disappeared. The mysterious man let out an unwilling roar, and his figure gradually dissipated in the golden light, and finally turned into starlight and merged into Gao Xingchen's body.

Gao Xingchen only felt a powerful force surge into his body, and the Heart of the Stars beat more vigorously in his chest, as if it resonated with the whole world. He opened his eyes, and golden light flashed in his eyes, illuminating everything around him.

"It's over?" Pharmacist Li's voice was trembling, with a mixture of relief and disbelief. He looked at the incredible scene before him, as if he were in a dream.

Gao Xingchen turned to look at Nan Li. The girl's face was also a little tired, but her eyes were unusually bright, reflecting the gradually brightening light in the sky. "It's over." Nan Li nodded, with a faint smile on her lips, "We won."

Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air and warm sunshine, he walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down at the land below. The Nine Star Realm, which was originally shrouded in darkness, was now bathed in the golden morning light, and all things were reviving and full of vitality, as if they had experienced a baptism.

"Is this... the world we are protecting?" Gao Xingchen murmured to himself, his eyes filled with shock and emotion. He was once just an ordinary person from Earth, but he accidentally traveled to this world and became the guardian of the Heart of the Stars, shouldering the responsibility of protecting the Nine Stars Realm. Along the way, he experienced countless hardships and tests, and also gained precious friendship and love.

"Yes, this is the world we protect together." Nan Li walked to Gao Xingchen and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, her eyes firm and gentle, "From now on, there will be no more darkness here, only light and hope."

Gao Xingchen turned his head and looked at Nan Li beside him. The girl's profile looked particularly beautiful in the sun. He knew that without Nan Li's company and help, he would not have come this far. They had experienced the test of life and death together, supported each other, and trusted each other. This relationship had long surpassed simple love and sublimated into a deeper bond.

"Nanli..." Gao Xingchen called softly. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. He wanted to say that he loved her and wanted to be with her forever, to protect the land they had protected with their lives and blood. But at this moment, all the words he wanted to say turned into a warm current in his heart, flowing quietly.

Nan Li seemed to feel Gao Xingchen's gaze, she turned her head and looked at him. When their eyes met, time seemed to stand still, only the emotions in each other's eyes slowly flowed.

At this moment, a light cough broke the silence between the two. Pharmacist Li smiled awkwardly and said, "Well...it's getting late, should we go back?"

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li finally came back to their senses. They smiled at each other, their eyes filled with tenderness and love.

"Let's go home." Gao Xingchen reached out and held Nanli's hand, interlocking their fingers. Their future will be full of hope and light, just like the land they saved.
