Fortunately, the space surrounding the Totem World was too chaotic and disordered, allowing only the highest Hunter Level Stellar Hunters to pass through. Anyone with a higher level would have to face the terrifying spatial turbulence.
Although the Hunter Kings possessed the strength to break through the spatial turbulence, their attacks were akin to Cosmic Law, easily capable of destroying an entire planet and causing this peculiar world to vanish entirely, which would be a great loss.
Originally, this was merely a special star domain discovered by chance, where some Stellar Hunters came to hunt the Evil Beasts within that world to absorb Source Energy.
However, what truly excited all the Stellar Hunters was that ever since the first individual accidentally underwent Soul Transmigration a thousand years ago and successfully returned, they discovered that after performing Soul Traversal, their souls could undergo a fundamental cleansing.
That individual had now become one of the exalted Lords, a target of aspiration for countless people.
Over the past millennium, two Hunter Kings had emerged, and the number of Hunter Generals had reached into the hundreds. It was due to this world that they experienced a transformation of their souls, enabling such terrifying growth.
Thus, the three most powerful Hunter Kings from the Starry Sky Hunter Guild stepped forward and completely dominated this place rich in endless wealth. They built a teleportation center here to connect the outside world with the Totem World. To enter, one must obtain permission from the Hunter's Guild and pay a certain fee, somewhat akin to a toll.
From then on, many powerful heirs from across the starry sky flocked here, eager to undergo Soul Traversal for soul cleansing and gain even more formidable abilities.
The Starry Sky Hunter Guild was the most powerful force under this starry sky—without exception—boasting five Hunter Kings stationed there, compelling all other forces to bow down in submission!
Otherwise, they could not monopolize such an extraordinary place.
"Hehe, last time Isaac, the direct heir of the Feathered Serpent Family and a descendant of a Kingdom Establishment powerhouse, was actually defeated by a native. It made many people laugh out loud. If it weren't for his expensive Soul Treasure guarding him, he would have perished in that world," Oniens clearly had a tendency to chatter. Having finally found someone to listen to him, he immediately began talking non-stop like a machine gun.
Xiar felt a chill in his heart: "How could a descendant of a Hunter King be defeated by a native?"
Images suddenly flashed through his mind—those were moments when he had spent everything to besiege his opponent with multiple Totem Beasts, along with Leslie, that equally terrifying figure, and Firefly, that rare and powerful spiritual Totem. Only then did he manage to surround and kill him.
In other words, that so-called native was none other than Xiar himself!
He originally thought he was just an ordinary Fate's Protagonist, but now he was shocked to learn that the other party was actually a descendant of the Hunter King, capable of destroying the entire Totem World.
Most importantly, it was clear that the other party had not died. Under the protection of the mysterious Soul Treasure, they had directly left the Totem World and were likely already recovering.
This meant that as soon as he arrived here, he had gained a terrifying enemy with a formidable background!
Fortunately, the reason the other party came out was to shock him, so his soul fluctuations were not surprising.
"I don't know. Their family totem, the Feathered Serpent, is connected to the Soul Bond. Every legitimate heir born into their family will have a corresponding totem seed emerge in their soul. Yet, possessing such a powerful Feathered Serpent, after successfully undergoing Soul Traversal, they were actually killed by a mere native!" Oniens shook his head with amusement, clearly considering this an unbelievable joke.
Xiar, however, could not laugh. He could now confirm that those seven so-called Fate's Seven were likely all legitimate descendants of these terrifying Extended Families; otherwise, it would be impossible for them to have such an extraordinary growth rate!
He knew that he had exerted all his efforts to gather the strength of the entire Source Nation and produced millions of Insect Beasts to collect resources. Even so, he still could not allow Firefly to complete Super Evolution.
Meanwhile, these individuals effortlessly progressed through Evolution without consuming too many resources. It was evident that their original strength had long surpassed Disaster Level and reached Hunter Level in this world!
This was akin to a college student being reborn and receiving enlightenment education again; how could they possibly be restricted from learning?
Without any peers to rival them, that would truly be embarrassing!
"After Soul Traversal, one must start over again. It’s understandable to be killed by a native when weak. But that individual was killed by a native just as they were about to advance from Advanced Apprentice Hunter to Hunter. It's a pity I can't enter the Surface World; otherwise, I would really want to pay that native a visit," Oniens sighed and shook his head.
"Indeed impressive. I almost got taken down by a native myself; I barely managed to kill it," Xiar agreed.
"Heh heh, brother, don’t take it too seriously. Members of those Extended Families also find it difficult to safely complete their soul baptism. For example, the heir of the Charles Family, who reveres violence and takes the Star Giant as their totem, lost their soul connection due to an accident. It’s likely..."
Oniens shook his head and refrained from discussing further; after all, these individuals were among the most powerful forces in the cosmos. If they were overheard discussing them like this, it could lead to unnecessary complications.
"Alright, Brother Xiar, I'll leave you here. You can go meet Lady Veranika; she is responsible for taking care of hunters who have completed the Soul Traversal."
As they walked, Oniens stopped and pointed to a large silver door on the right side, then politely bid him farewell.
Xiar turned to look at the silver door before him. It seemed to be rooted directly in the void, with nothingness beyond it, as if it led to an endless starry sky. Countless intricate patterns were carved into the surface of the door, making him feel a shiver in his soul just from a glance.
It was evident that this door alone could rival those terrifying Source Artifacts!
"What a frightening world!" he sighed lightly, then composed himself and stepped calmly through the grand door.
Though there was a risk of being discovered, he had to try. Since Oniens couldn't perceive any difference in his soul, it meant that his soul had likely undergone some transformation.
As he stepped through, everything around him spun instantly, and he found himself transported from the cold metallic fortress to a vibrant garden filled with blooming flowers!
Xiar furrowed his brow, surveying his surroundings. The sudden change reminded him of the sensation he felt when Oniens had taken him away; it seemed that this place had transformed into an alternate space!
At that moment, a silver figure emerged from what appeared to be rippling water before him, smiling as it gazed at him. "Ah, welcome! After such a long time, we finally have a Fortunate One who has successfully traversed back."
