Chapter 361 Tears in the Eyes
Gao Xingchen's heart was like a raging sea, and the power of the Heart of the Stars surged in his body. He understood that the true meaning of power was not destruction, but protection. What he wanted to protect was the peace of this star field, those who were important to him, and the original kindness and justice in his heart.
Nan Li's eyes were blurred with tears, and the scenes of the killings in the past kept flashing in her mind. Those fresh lives, those innocent eyes, all turned into sharp blades, piercing her heart fiercely. She gradually loosened her grip on the dagger and let it fall to the ground, making a crisp sound, as if it also broke the hard shell in her heart.
Just as the two were struggling and confused, a strong pressure suddenly descended and enveloped the entire space. The mysterious man noticed their changes and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, so he increased the intensity of his attack and tried to pull them back into the abyss.
"Do you think you can get rid of my control like this? How naive!" The mysterious man's voice sounded like it came from the Netherworld, full of eeriness and terror.
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked up at the same time, their eyes filled with unprecedented determination. They were no longer the confused selves before, they found their original intentions and the direction to move forward.
"We will not be controlled by you anymore!" Gao Xingchen's voice was sonorous and powerful, full of confidence and strength.
He stretched out his hand, and a shining star appeared in his palm, emitting warm light. The power of the Heart of Stars was no longer violent, but became gentle and firm, like a mother's embrace, protecting all things in the world.
Nan Li also stood up, she wiped her tears, her eyes full of determination. She gave up using the dagger, and instead put her hands together, feeling the power of the Star Heart in her body.
"I will protect this star field and protect those who need protection." She whispered. Although her voice was soft, it was full of power.
The two stood side by side, the light of the Star Heart enveloped them, forming an indestructible barrier to resist the attack of the mysterious man.
Seeing this, the mysterious man became even angrier. He increased his strength and tried to break the barrier.
The entire space shook violently, as if it would collapse at any time. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were under tremendous pressure, but they did not back down. They encouraged and supported each other, using firm beliefs and new insights to resist the attacks of the inner demons.
"We can definitely defeat him!" Gao Xingchen said firmly.
Nanli nodded, her eyes filled with hope.
The battle is still going on. Can Gao Xingchen and Nan Li defeat the mysterious man and protect the peace of the star field? The answer will be revealed in the next moment...
Gao Xingchen's Star Heart shone brightly, but it was no longer violent and scorching, but instead was as gentle and warm as a spring breeze. He was surprised to find that the power of the Star Heart could not only destroy, but also heal and protect! He remembered the pain and struggle flashing in the eyes of those poor people who were controlled by the Heart Demon when he fought with the Heart Demon Messenger before, and suddenly a strong desire surged in his heart - he wanted to save them and pull them out of the quagmire of the Heart Demon!
Gao Xingchen tentatively injected the power of the Star Heart slowly into the body of a Heart Demon Messenger. Unexpectedly, the other party did not show any pain, but instead seemed to have found an oasis in the desert, greedily absorbing this warm power.
"Ah..." The Heart Demon Envoy held his head in pain, as if he was experiencing a violent struggle. Gao Xingchen did not stop, and continued to deliver the power of the Heart of the Stars, while whispering: "Relax your mind, feel the light, feel the hope..."
As if there was an invisible force pulling him, the blood-red in the eyes of the Inner Demon Envoy gradually faded, replaced by clarity and relief. He knelt on his knees and kowtowed to Gao Xingchen: "Thank you for saving my life! I... I finally got rid of the control of the Inner Demon!"
This scene also moved Nan Li. She had always regarded the power of the Heart of Stars as a tool for killing, but never thought that it could be used for redemption. She looked at Gao Xingchen with eyes full of admiration and love.
Nan Li also began to try to use the power of the Heart of Stars to help the injured companions. She gently placed her hand on the wound of a companion, and the power of the Heart of Stars turned into warm light and slowly flowed into the companion's body. The companion was surprised to find that the originally painful wound began to heal quickly, and even the spiritual power in the body became more abundant.
"This... this is..." The companion was so excited that he couldn't speak and could only look at Nanli with gratitude.
"The power of the Heart of the Stars is not only for killing, but also for protection." Nanli said softly, her tone firm and gentle, as if she was talking to her companions and also to herself.
As Gao Xingchen and Nan Li's understanding deepened, their strength also improved greatly. The power of the Heart of Stars showed unprecedented light in them, illuminating the entire ruins. Seeing this, the mysterious man's face became extremely ugly. He knew that he had really met an opponent this time.
"Hmph! So what even if you have comprehended the true meaning of the Heart of the Stars? The power in my hands is not something that you ants can contend with?" The mysterious man roared and increased the intensity of his attack again.
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li smiled at each other. They were not afraid at all, but stood side by side, ready to face this final battle. They believed that as long as their hearts were full of hope and love, they would be able to defeat all darkness!
Deep within the ruins, the light of the Heart of the Stars became increasingly dazzling, as if foreshadowing the imminent outbreak of an earth-shattering battle...
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li bathed in the glory of the Heart of Stars. Their power was like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, flapping its wings and soaring into the sky. The power of the Heart of Stars was no longer violent, but like a trickle, nourishing their bodies and cleansing their souls. Gao Xingchen felt more powerful than ever before, as if the whole world was in his hands, but there was not a trace of arrogance in his heart, only a deeper sense of responsibility. He knew that this power was not for conquest, but for protection.
Nan Li also felt the increase in strength. The Star Blade in her hand emitted a faint blue light, like an ancient artifact. But her heart was extremely calm. The hatred and pain of the past gradually dissipated under the light of the Heart of Stars, and was replaced by an indescribable tranquility and peace.
Deep in the ruins, the black mist surrounding the mysterious man rolled violently, as if sensing a huge threat. "How is this possible!" The mysterious man roared angrily, "How can you ants comprehend the true meaning of the Heart of the Stars!"
"The power of the Heart of Stars is not used to kill, but to protect!" Gao Xingchen's voice was like a huge bell, resounding throughout the ruins. "You use the power of the Heart of Stars to bring disaster to the world. Today, I will represent Xingchen and completely eliminate you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Xingchen flashed and turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the mysterious man. The Star Blade in his hand turned into a bright light, cutting through the void and going straight to the mysterious man's vital point. Nan Li followed closely behind, and the Star Blade in her hand seemed to turn into a smart silver snake, coordinating with Gao Xingchen's attack, blocking all the mysterious man's retreat routes.
The mysterious man obviously did not expect that Gao Xingchen and Nan Li's strength had increased so much, and was caught off guard for a moment. He roared repeatedly, and the black mist rolled, turning into countless ghosts with bared fangs and claws, trying to block the attacks of Gao Xingchen and Nan Li.
However, under the light of the Heart of Stars, these ghosts melted away in an instant like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li's attack was unstoppable, and they were about to completely destroy the mysterious man.
At this moment, the mysterious man suddenly howled to the sky, and the black fog rolled and turned into a huge black vortex, swallowing him, Gao Xingchen, and Nan Li together. The ruins trembled violently, and the light of the Heart of the Stars became flickering, as if it would go out at any time.
"Xingchen, be careful!" Nanli's voice came from the black vortex, full of worry.
"Li'er, I'm fine!" Gao Xingchen's voice was firm and powerful, "We will definitely defeat him!"
The ruins fell into a dead silence, only the black vortex was still spinning, as if connected to another unknown world. Can Gao Xingchen and Nan Li win the decisive battle with the mysterious man? No one knows the answer.
The black vortex seemed like a bottomless abyss, swallowing up all light and hope. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were in it, feeling the world spinning around them, and the light of the Heart of Stars flickered, like a candle in the wind that could go out at any time.
"Xingchen, how are you?" Nanli's voice was intermittent in the violent energy turbulence, revealing a hint of worry.
Gao Xingchen steadied himself, and the power of the stars formed a protective barrier around him, resisting the tearing force from all directions. "I'm fine, how about you?"
"I'm fine." Nan Li's voice became firmer. "This power... is evil, but it seems unable to completely control the Heart of the Stars."
Gao Xingchen looked around and found that they were in a chaos. There was no up, down, left, or right. There was only endless darkness and violent energy turbulence. He knew that this was an independent space opened up by the mysterious man with evil power. If he wanted to defeat him, he must first find a way to leave here.
"Xingchen, look!" Nanli's voice drew Gao Xingchen's attention back. In the darkness not far away, there was a faint light flickering, like a firefly in the night. Although faint, it was extremely firm.
“That is…” Gao Xingchen’s heart moved. Although the light was faint, he was very familiar with it. It was the power of the Heart of Stars!
"Let's go!" Gao Xingchen didn't hesitate at all, holding Nan Li's hand and flying towards the light. As they got closer and closer, the light became brighter and brighter, gradually illuminating the surrounding darkness.
When they finally arrived at the source of the light, they discovered that it was a huge fragment of a star heart, emitting a gentle yet powerful force, in stark contrast to the violent energy around it.
"Is this... the true meaning of the Heart of the Star?" Gao Xingchen murmured to himself. He felt a warm power surging from the fragments of the Heart of the Star, flowing into his body and cleansing his soul.
"Xingchen, I understand!" Nan Li's voice was filled with joy. "The power of the Heart of the Stars is not used to kill, but to protect! The reason why we are confused is because we still have hatred and anger in our hearts. Only by letting go of these can we truly understand the true meaning of the Heart of the Stars!"
Gao Xingchen was shocked when he heard this. Yes, he had always been carrying hatred and wanted to avenge his parents, but he ignored the true power of the Heart of Stars. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and dispelled the hatred and anger in his heart bit by bit, leaving only the love for his relatives and friends and the cherishment of life.
When he opened his eyes again, his eyes had become extremely clear, as if he could see through all the vanity in the world. He reached out his hand and gently stroked the fragment of the Star Heart, feeling the warm and powerful force.
"Thank you, Xingchen Heart." Gao Xingchen said softly, "I finally understand your feelings."
At this moment, the darkness around them suddenly rolled violently, and the voice of the mysterious man came from all directions, full of anger and unwillingness: "Impossible! How can you ants understand the true meaning of the Heart of the Stars!"
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other, their eyes full of determination and trust. They knew that this would be a tough battle, but they were no longer afraid because they had the true power of the Heart of Stars.
"Come on!" Gao Xingchen held the Star Blade and pointed it in the direction of the mysterious man, "Let's end this!"
Nan Li stood beside him, the Star Blade in her hand emitting a faint blue light. There was no need to say more about her determination to fight alongside Gao Xingchen.
The decisive battle is about to begin. Can Gao Xingchen and Nanli defeat the mysterious man and protect the peace of the Nine Star Realm?
