Grey then came back to the Nexus Domain. By the time he returned, its size had exponentially increased once again. There were more houses and buildings, and law enforcers were everywhere.

Everyone was now constantly talking about the simulation tower, where one leveled up to gain real power.

"It is a new technological masterpiece. The Saint has done a great job at creating it. I had my clone go there to cultivate, and I am quite honestly very surprised. It is a perfect combination of virtual reality and real life, and the best part is one actually gains power from it."

"It is impressive."

Grey shook his head. "What masterpiece? It is just some cheap trick of reality bending and the mecha race’s data energy."

Of course, he might have said this, but it was much easier said than done.

Manipulating the information layer was extremely hard.

Speaking of which, the Blue Star was now suspended in the air as one of the floating islands. The Blue Star was just as big as the other floating islands.

"Hey Gaia, do you want to merge with the planet? Manage it for me?" Grey inquired curiously. "It must be boring to just stay there, right?"

"Yeah, it is." Gaia’s voice came to him as he arrived on the Blue Star.

"But I am not interested."

"I want to become a Star Spirit. Can you make me a Star Spirit?" Gaia asked with a hopeful gaze. "I want to travel the universe and see things for myself."

"Becoming a Star Spirit, huh?" Grey nodded. "It is very much possible."

Star Spirits were not technically a race, but rather stars that had gained sentience. You could say they were spirits, much like how there are spirits for mountains in some worlds with dense spiritual energy related to immortal cultivation.

But of course, the amount of Star Spirits had been thinning day by day due to the presence of Solarians. Stars that gain sentience and clear Hell’s authority from their celestial bodies transcend and become Star Spirits.

Naturally, not all stars gain sentience either. They were quite honestly hard to birth sentience into. The Solarians naturally suppressed any thoughts forming in the star that had met with the origin power of the universe for countless millions of years. But those that had sentience prior to their formation in their celestial bodies naturally had a chance at becoming a Star Spirit.

Currently, the Human Alliance and other alliances all had a vast amount of galaxies gathered together with an immense amount of stars. They put down a powerful aura capable of covering several galaxies to stop the authority of Hell and the creation of Solarians, making it possible for the stars to gain sentience. In short, the alliances were actively helping stars become Star Spirits as they were slowly dying out due to the authority of Hell.

"But you will become a frequential being. Is that fine?"

"Frequency, energy. There is no difference," Gaia said. "If you help me, I will be eternally grateful."

"Now that the planet is in your safe hands, I have nothing to worry about."

"Hmm." Grey nodded. "I can arrange that."

He swiftly made his way to the gods’ quarters that he had tasked the mechas in the Mecha Forge to arrange. There were robots that could weave space and time in the Mecha Forge, hence he made them arrange a secret realm for the gods. He soon went in and saw a grand golden palace. He gave the gods the will to make it however they wanted, and it seemed like they wanted to continue using the same template they had on the other part of the domain.

It was not a bad thing. He went to meet Kaelith, and soon they set off to find a Star Being.

Helping Gaia aside, he also kind of wanted to see how the Star Beings functioned. They were spirits, beings that possessed the authority to gain power based on their star power. He wanted to see what exactly this power was.

Soon, Kaelith managed to pinpoint a star. This star was immensely huge, as big as a star region, and it was actually a Star Spirit.

Whrmm!

The star stirred abruptly as it took on a humanoid form of a human with glowing, star-like hair.

"W-What can I do for you, True Saint and 8th rank god expert?" the Star Spirit asked in a slightly frightened tone.

"Oh? You know us?"

"Yes. Us Star Spirits can naturally communicate with each other. We know what goes around the universe, even the smallest matters. We got nothing better to do, so we just gossip about others or something."

"..." Grey was speechless hearing this.

His presence glitched into the information layer. Indeed, he saw several trillion backdoors surrounding the Star Spirit.

[Your comprehension defies the heavens! By observing the information layer frequency of the Star Spirit chat system, you have gained access to it.]

[Ding!]

[Grey Lockhart has joined the chat.]

[StarSpiritNebula: ???? What the hell?]

[StarSpiritNova: ????]

[StarSpiritQuasar: ????]

[Grey Lockhart: Hi, I am a Star Spirit starting today as well. Nice to meet you all.]

[StarSpiritVoid: Greetings mate, welcome to the Star Spirit channel. This was a channel created by the Origin Will so we can freely communicate with our fellow breathers in other domains and whatnot.]

[StarSpiritPulsar: Are you a newly ascended spirit? Why do you have the exact name of the newly born Saint that destroyed the dragon and the Immortal Sovereign Palace?]

[StarSpiritZenith: Dumbass, that is him!!!]

Even the Star Spirit in front of Grey wore a stunned expression.

"Saint, how did you manage to gain access to our secure chat?" the Star Spirit asked with a completely dumbfounded look on its face.

"I am built different." Grey nodded with a serious look on his face. "Well, this will come in handy."

"Anyways. I am here to take a look at your structure. Once I am done, I will be on my way."

"Look at my structure?" the Star Spirit blinked nervously. "Do I have to get naked?"

"NO." Grey’s expression instantly darkened.

"Phew." The Star Spirit sighed in relief. "That is good then."
