The Shining Star Above The Heaven-Chapter 531: They Found Out His Secret?

After walking for more than fifteen minutes, Aldrian finally entered another hall. But this time, the hall was not empty. Inside, Aldrian saw a giant formation with four pillars supporting the space. He knew the formation, this was the teleportation formation that led to the floating land above.

But his attention was on something that was not supposed to be there.

A stone tablet stood in front of the teleportation portal. In his memory, nothing like this had ever been in the hall. This stone tablet was the very thing that had drawn him here. He felt a strong connection to it, which made him approach without hesitation.

Aldrian stood before the stone tablet. There was writing on it.

To the brightest star that illuminates all

May your light never dim again freewebnσvel.cѳm

To the Absolute Ruler who will return

May your rule always bring glory

To the Great Emperor of All Heavens

May you continue to reign sovereign

To the one in whom we place our faith

To the one we always await

May you finally find what you are looking for

Aldrian touched the writing on the stone tablet. From the words alone, it was clear—they were directed at him. He could feel the determination and spirit of those who wrote them, just from the writing itself.

The others who had followed Aldrian finally arrived and saw him already standing in front of the stone tablet. They looked around the hall with curiosity, wondering what this place was. A giant formation stood in the middle, surrounded by the four pillars that held up the hall.

"What is this place?"

"Why did young master Aldrian come here?"

Murmurs echoed as they examined the hall. They began approaching Aldrian, who remained still. Only then did they see the writing on the stone tablet and begin to read it.

Xin Haotian narrowed his eyes as he read. Was this written by the dragon and the phoenix? Or was it someone else? Whoever it was, he could feel the weight behind every word—the solemnness, the seriousness.

Each line was written with deep conviction and faith. It made him wonder: who was the one they had written this for? Even he could feel how remarkable the person must be, to inspire such unwavering loyalty from those who left these words behind.

"Hey, why do you—" Xin Haotian started to ask Aldrian, but paused when he saw Aldrian close his eyes, seemingly unaware of his voice.

The others noticed it too, but none of them disturbed Aldrian.

Xin Haotian looked at him for a moment, then turned his gaze back to the stone tablet. Why had Aldrian come here? Did he really know about this place beforehand?

No, that should be impossible.

But a seed of doubt had already formed in Xin Haotian’s mind—not about Aldrian being the son of Flamecrest and Rivas, but about the truth behind Aldrian’s abnormality.

He read the inscription on the stone tablet again and understood that it was written for someone whose status far exceeded that of the writer. His thoughts turned to the dragon and the phoenix—perhaps they were the ones who left this message.

After all, the records never mentioned anyone else residing in the core area. If so, that was the most likely possibility.

Xin Haotian read the writing again. He wanted to understand—why had Aldrian come here? What was he trying to do? Why did he seem to know about this place and head straight to the stone tablet?

After rereading the inscription, he paused for a moment.

"To the brightest star that illuminates all... is it truly a coincidence? Doesn’t Aldrian’s name also carry the meaning of a star? Aldrian Aster—Aster, which means star."

Xin Haotian’s heart suddenly trembled. His eyes shifted back to Aldrian’s still figure.

Was it really a coincidence?

"To the Absolute Ruler who will come back... then the one who wrote this is waiting for someone’s return. It can even be linked with the earlier line—May your light never dim again—which means that, for some reason, that person left the one who wrote this. Their absence is symbolized by a dimmed light."

Xin Haotian’s thoughts grew more serious.

"The hope that the person returns, so their light will never dim again..."

"The person who will return?" His looked at Aldrian once more.

"Aldrian?"

His mind felt like it was about to explode—as if he had just placed a missing puzzle piece that revealed the bigger picture. A puzzle that had long confused him, one that never seemed to make sense.

But now, with this piece in place, he might finally be able to solve the mystery surrounding the person he had been in the same group with for over three years.

Aldrian’s strength might have come from something extraordinary, something connected to the dragon and the phoenix.

But what if the origin of his power was far greater? So great that even the dragon and the phoenix would refer to him as the brightest star?

"Absolute Ruler... The Great Emperor of All Heavens..."

Each title was powerful enough to make anyone tremble. They sounded far too grand—almost unreal.

Was there truly someone with such titles in the higher realm?

Xin Haotian then looked at his father, who also wore a serious expression. His father signaled him to step away from Aldrian for a moment to speak in private.

The other elders had already spread out, examining every part of the hall. One elder, especially knowledgeable in formations, appeared deeply focused as he studied the massive formation etched into the floor before them.

Once Xin Haotian and his father were far enough from Aldrian, Xin Haotian asked,

"Father, what do you think of Aldrian?"

"Did you reach the same conclusion as I did?" his father replied, lowering his voice. "About young Aldrian’s mystery?"

Xin Haotian nodded.

"There are still questions, but I think our suspicion is confirmed. If he truly has a direct connection to the dragon and the phoenix, that would explain why he’s so different from anyone else on this continent." He said.

"Then where do you think he got that kind of strength—and that kind of wisdom—at such a young age?" Patriarch Xin asked. "If there was something within the secret realm where he was born that could grant such abilities, the guardian family would have taken it long ago. There’s no way something capable of allowing a human to defy the common laws of cultivation would be left behind."

"If a guardian family had found it, we wouldn’t have been in such a miserable state during the great battle with the devils three million years ago." He continued.

Then, Patriarch Xin looked toward Aldrian’s back.

"And the strange point is this—the one who wrote that inscription seemed to know the figure they were waiting for would eventually come here. They were not guessing. They knew that figure personally. So the idea that anyone could become that figure, just by gaining that power, seems unlikely."

"That only leaves the most probable option," he added quietly.

Xin Haotian and Patriarch Xin looked into each other’s eyes, both wearing the same serious expression.

"His strength is his own, and it has been there since his birth." They said in unison, before turning their eyes back to Aldrian’s figure.

"So we can confirm that the dragon and the phoenix built this place for Aldrian? No wonder everything here only reacts to him." Xin Haotian’s voice was filled astonishment. "Then does that mean their arrival in this land had something to do with Aldrian from the very beginning? So they knew the exact future and have been waiting for Aldrian to appear here?"

Patriarch Xin fell silent, but his eyes returned to his son.

"Well, that is the point. They have been waiting to this day, and I think today we are witnessing another wonder of the universe. We don’t usually concern ourselves with ideas like reincarnation," he said slowly, "but... do you think this might be a real example of it?"

His words made Xin Haotian pause, falling into silence himself.

While Xin Haotian and his father unknowingly touched the core of Aldrian’s mystery, Aldrian’s consciousness was no longer in the hall. He now stood in a different place—one that was not his mindscape. He stood in the middle of a grassland, identical to the one filled with statues that he had seen before.

He stood in the center, surrounded by the "statues." But in this vast grassland, there was nothing blocking his view—he could see every single one of them. He guessed there must be thousands, all positioned exactly as the statues were in the real world.

However, the difference here was that instead of stone figures, what he met were real persons. They all showed various expressions to him—happiness, worship, and admiration. There was no negative expression on any of their faces.

Aldrian did not make any sound since his consciousness arrived here. He was still quite stunned because suddenly he was in the middle of so many people—or more precisely, their wills. To think that the wills of these people were not in the statues themselves but actually activated when he connected himself to the stone tablet!

No, to be more exact, the entire palace itself was actually a giant space to store the wills of these people, and the stone tablet was only the trigger for him to meet them.

Seeing Aldrian’s confused expression, many of them smiled, but not long after, all of them prostrated before him.

"Welcome back, Your Majesty."
