Lin Feng, now sixteen and at the Form Creation Realm, Late Stage, stood at the edge of the Great Yan Empire's northern border, where jagged cliffs overlooked the Endless Rift—a rumored gateway to the Great Thousand World. The **Starforge Spear** and **Starforge Armor** gleamed with starlit power, his **Celestial Crescent Slash** and **Stellar Aegis** mastered instantly by the Star Sovereign System 2.0. His Breakthrough Points (BP) stood at 360, with a debt of 50, earned through missions and neutralizing disturbances like Gao Jin. The system's shop, instant mastery, and disturbance detection remained his secret, hidden even from Zhou Qingyue, his first wife, whose dual cultivation in the Blackwater Forest had bound their fates.
Qingyue's tearful departure, her heart torn by the Love Crystal's power, fueled Lin Feng's vow to find her in the Great Thousand World and marry her. He knew only Lin Dong's legend, aspiring to emulate the Martial Ancestor, unaware of Xiao Yan, Zhou Yuan, or Mu Chen. The Great Yan Empire's laws, altered by Lin Dong, capped upper-realm visitors like Qingyue at the Nirvana Realm, and its people were blind to the Great Thousand World. The Abyssal Monarch's servant, Xue Wuya, hunted the Love Crystal's remnants, his schemes tied to the Dao Sect's fall by the Nine Heavens Palace and Iron Cloud Sect.
As Lin Feng gazed into the rift, the system chimed: **[System Reward Unlocked: Infinite Energy Body. Host's attacks no longer consume Yuan Power or stamina. Energy regenerates instantly for offensive techniques. Defensive and movement skills still incur costs. Mission: Cross the Endless Rift to Reach the Great Thousand World. Reward: 500 BP, Saint-Tier Art—Star Sovereign's Wrath.]** Lin Feng felt a surge, his body humming with boundless energy. He tested it, thrusting his spear with **Shadow Star Thrust**. The starlit arc blazed endlessly, carving a boulder without draining him. His attacks were now limitless, a cheat defying the Myriad Realms' laws.

### Ambush at the Rift
The Endless Rift was a treacherous expanse, its winds laced with chaotic Yuan Power. Lin Feng trekked its cliffs, guided by the **Celestial Crescent Tablet**, a Dao Sect relic pulsing with Lin Dong's insights. A new disturbance emerged—Wei Tong, a Nirvana Realm mercenary leader at the rift's edge, marked by the system for extorting travelers. His gang, five cultivators at the Form Creation Realm, Initial Stage, blocked Lin Feng's path. "Pay up, kid, or die," Wei Tong sneered, his spiked mace glowing with Yuan Power.
The system pinged: **[Disturbance Target: Wei Tong and Gang. Reward: 40 BP.]** Lin Feng gripped his spear, his **Infinite Energy Body** surging. He unleashed a barrage of **Shadow Star Thrusts**, each strike a starlit comet, relentless and undiminished. Wei Tong's mace shattered under the onslaught, and his gang fell to **Celestial Crescent Slash**, its arc cleaving armor like paper. The mercenaries collapsed, stunned by Lin Feng's unending assault. **[Disturbance Neutralized: 40 BP. Current BP: 400 (Debt: 50).]**
As Lin Feng advanced, a darker presence loomed. Xue Wuya materialized, his black mist coiling, his Nirvana Realm aura oppressive. "You thwarted me at Blackwater, boy," he snarled. "The Abyssal Monarch demands your death." His black spear struck, but Lin Feng's **Stellar Aegis** flared, absorbing the blow at a cost of 20% Yuan Power. With his **Infinite Energy Body**, Lin Feng countered with an unending flurry of **Iron Star Fists** and **Shadow Star Thrusts**, each hit precise and tireless. Xue Wuya, caught off guard, retreated, his mist fading. "The Great Thousand World won't save you," he hissed.
Lin Feng's heart raced. His new power was a game-changer, but defensive skills like **Stellar Aegis** and movement like **Starshatter Step** still drained him, demanding strategy. The system offered a new purchase: **[Starlight Wings (Movement Skill, 100 BP). Grants flight for 10 minutes. Cost: 30% Yuan Power per use.]** He bought it, reducing his BP to 300 (Debt: 50), and instantly mastered it, wings of starlight sprouting briefly to test his control.

### The Rift's Threshold
At the rift's core, a shimmering portal pulsed, the gateway to the Great Thousand World. Lin Feng sensed its pull, the **Celestial Crescent Tablet** resonating as if Lin Dong himself urged him forward. Before he could enter, a familiar figure emerged—Xiao Liyao, her fiery sword at her side, her Nirvana Realm aura blazing. "You're headed to the Great Thousand World too, huh?" she grinned, unaware of her tie to Xiao Yan. "Stick with me, kid. It's a brutal place."
Mu Lingshan appeared silently, her serene energy calming the rift's chaos. Her link to Mu Chen was unknown to Lin Feng, but her presence felt like fate. "The portal tests your will," she said softly. "Survive it." The system pinged: **[Hidden Mission: Cross the Portal with Allies. Reward: 50 BP.]**
The trio stepped into the portal, its energy tearing at their bodies. Lin Feng's **Infinite Energy Body** let him unleash **Celestial Crescent Slashes** to counter the rift's chaotic currents, his attacks tireless. Liyao's flames and Lingshan's waves bolstered him, and they emerged in the Great Thousand World, a vast realm of floating islands and boundless skies. The system chimed: **[Main Mission Progress: Great Thousand World Reached. Hidden Mission Complete: 50 BP. Current BP: 350 (Debt: 50). Cultivation increased to Nirvana Realm, Initial Stage.]**
Lin Feng's body pulsed with new power, matching the realm's elite. Zhou Qingyue was out there, his vow to marry her burning. His second and third wives, upper-realm prodigies tied to Xiao Yan and Mu Chen, awaited, their encounters destined in this vast world. The Abyssal Monarch's threat grew, Xue Wuya's failure a spark for greater schemes. With his **Infinite Energy Body** and Lin Dong's legacy, Lin Feng stood ready, his system a hidden star guiding him to greatness.
