<h4>Chapter 1105 - 1105 – Hooligan</h4>
While the Myriad Sect readied their new headquarters for their future conquest, Gravis borrowed Ste for a bit.
He wanted to test something.
"So, what did you want to test?" Ste asked.
"Wait a second," Gravis said. "I need to take some precautions first. I don''t want to take any chances."
Ste looked with a questioning look at Gravis.
"Father, please help me iste what''s happening here in front of others. I don''t want anyone to see what''s happening," Gravis said.
"Go ahead," the Opposer''s voice appeared in Gravis'' and Ste''s minds.
"Thanks," Gravis said with a nod before concentrating on Ste.
Ste took a nervous step back. "What are you doing? Are you trying to take advantage of me!? I warn you, as a pure maiden, I have many suitors! I''m going to call big brother Mortis to beat you up if you do anything!" Ste shouted in fear.
Gravis had tough at Ste''s antics.
"No, I want to try something specific," Gravis said.
Then, Gravis moved back a distance.
"Ste Firebringer!" Gravis shouted.
Ever since Ste had joined the Nine Elements Sect in the higher world, she had received a newst name. Firebringer was thest name of the fire camp of the Nine Elements Sect.
Gravis had just shouted out Ste''s true name.
Ste''s eyes widened as a weird sensation filled her being.
SHING!
A Star appeared beside Ste, which surprised her.
This was her Star!
She hadn''t summoned it!
"Ste Firebringer!" Gravis shouted again.
The Star shot towards the distance.
Surprisingly, it didn''t shoot towards Gravis but in a seeminglypletely random direction.
Ste became nervous as she saw her Star leave her.
She hadn''t ordered any of these things!
The Star was shooting into the distance with a lot of speed, but Gravis and Ste could still keep up.
"Come back!" Ste shouted, trying her best to reign in her Star.
After a lot of forcing, Ste''s Star slowed down.
"Ste Firebringer!"
WHOOOOM!
And the Star shot away again.
Gravisughed loudly at the spectacle.
It was like Ste was chasing a disobedient child, trying to convince it to return.
"I think I know where the Star is going towards," Gravis said.
"Where?" Ste asked. She was nervous but not scared. She knew that Gravis wouldn''t allow anything to happen to her.
"It''s shooting towards my Avatar," Gravis said.
"It''s going to Mortis?" Ste asked.
Gravis nodded.
"Mortis isprehending some Laws in that direction. I think this also exins why true names are so dangerous to Star Gods and above," Gravis said. "I still have the control over my Avatar or Star since you can''t say my true name."
"So, in essence, I now control the movements of your Star. I only need to make Mortis move to wherever I want. Even more, your Star can''t be untouchable while it''s not under your control. That ability is the only reason why Cultivators don''t attack the enemy''s Star."
"If we had simr powers, we would be embroiled in a battle. However, if I know your true name, I can get your Star toe to me. After that, I only need to attack it, and it gets destroyed."
"Even more, since the opponent obviously knows about the importance of their Star, I could also control their movement. For example, if there were someone in Opposer City that I wanted to kill. Obviously, I can''t kill them due to the rules of Opposer City."
"However, if I knew their true name and shouted it out from outside Opposer City, I could force their Star toe to me. The other person would be forced to meet me outside or see their most powerful Laws be destroyed."
"It essentially allows me to control the entire life of someone else," Gravis exined.
Ste nodded.
That ability was really terrifying.
No wonder everyone kept their true names secret.
After a lot of urging, Ste managed to make her Star slow down again.
Eventually, the Star stopped.
Ste immediately shot a venomous re at Gravis. "Don''t you dare!"
Gravis was currently suppressing hisughter with all his power.
"Don''t!" Ste shouted. "It took me so long to regain control!"
"Ste," Gravis said.
"Don''t you dare!" Ste shouted coldly.
"Ste, could you bring me some fire?" Gravis said with a smirk.
"Stop it!"
"Fine, fine, I''ll stop," Gravis said.
Ste squinted her eyes at Gravis.
She didn''t fully believe him.
"No, honestly, Gravis. It''s not funny, and I don''t like that feeling. I''m not joking. Please stop," Ste said seriously.
Gravis'' smirk immediately vanished, and he sighed.
"Okay," he said with a sad tone.
"Thanks," Ste said.
Eventually, Ste managed to make her Star vanish again. It took several minutes to get her Star under control again, while it took another person only two words to make it gopletely out of control.
True names truly were scary.
Ste swore herself that she would tell no one about her true name.
Luckily, only Gravis, Mortis, Liam, and Exar knew about her true name.
"Fairy Maiden, is this hooligan harassing you?"
SHING!
Someone appeared beside Ste.
He was a young man with long white hair, expensive white robes, and white jewelry. The holy light of Purity continually shone out of him, making him appear like some godlike being.
His face was immacte.
In total, he looked like a holy statue that some mortals would pray to.
He was a level two Star God.
He had just passed by here, and he saw how this beautiful fairy had looked at this hooligan with venomous eyes.
Obviously, this ant of a Cultivator was harassing this beautiful maiden!
In his mind, this absolutely ster, beautiful maiden was too nice and polite to directly throw this hooligan into the distance.
Because of that, this hooligan was taking advantage of this innocent fairy maiden, harassing her more and more and taking advantage of her.
He had toe in and save her!
Ste looked at the handsome man beside her with a bit of confusion.
Then, she understood, and she suppressed a chuckle.
Gravis looked at the man with a raised eyebrow.
"Shoo! Go away!" the man ordered Gravis. "Can''t you see that this beautiful maiden isn''t interested in you? Learn some decency!"
Gravis blinked once. "I think you got something-"
"Oh, thank you, valiant Cultivator!" Ste shouted with teary eyes.
Gravis'' face froze.
''Are you serious?''
"This uncouth man has asked to smell my feet and to wear my dress! Dear Gods, I was bbergasted when I heard of his dirty demands!" Ste shouted with a voice that would make any man want to help her.
Gravis was stunned.
''Fuck, isn''t this too much like Karma!?'' Gravis thought. ''I just teased Ste with her true name, and now she''s teasing me with that guy!''
When the young man heard Ste''s words, his eyes became frosty, and he unleashed his Will-Aura on Gravis.
"I will put this hooligan to justice!" he shouted with power.
"No, please!" Ste shouted with a pleading voice. "He has acted unbing, but this is not worthy of death! I cannot live with such guilt upon my conscience!"
The young man''s eyes rxed, and he looked at Ste with loving, kind eyes.
Ste''s body shuddered, but she kept it hidden.
"Such an innocent maiden is truly rare in this cruel world," the man said with aplimenting tone. Then, he looked coldly at Gravis. "Hooligan! You are in luck! This fair maiden has just saved your life! Now, scram!"
Gravis blinked a couple of times.
"He''s from one of the nearby Sects probably," Ste transmitted to Gravis. "We are still new here, and the other Sects don''t know about us yet. By following him, I can enter one of the Sects and gather information about their power and policies. We need to know our enemy to properly prepare for a fight with them."
"Fine," Gravis answered with an unwilling voice transmission.
Then, Gravis acted like some petty thief that had been found out by the lord of the manor and fled into the distance.
The young man snorted once and looked with loving eyes at Ste.
"The hooligan is gone. Fairy maiden, would you be interested in following me to my Sect of origin? I believe a powerful Star God such as yourself can easily be an Enforcer in our Sect. I can assure you that you will be able to join."
Ste smiled brightly, and her face became a bit red.
"Thank you so much, valiant Cultivator. I would love to visit your Sect!" Ste said.
"Heaven has decreed that we would meet on this day, and I thank Heaven for this opportunity to meet a gracious person such as you. Please, follow me," he said with a soft tone.
Ste was really trying her best to look interested and innocent.
The young man and Ste flew into the distance.
Then, the young man did something Ste didn''t notice.
"Peak Immortal Emperor. He has this Aura. Kill him," he ordered to someone secretly.
He didn''t want the innocent fairy maiden to know that the hooligan would die. After all, with her pure conscience and personality, she might not be able to deal with such a strike to her conscience.
Obviously, the man''s impression of Ste was very far from reality. In fact, it was so far from reality that it was almost unbelievable that someone could possibly think something like that.
Well, the reason was two-fold.
One reason was Ste''s powerful Law of Empathy. This Law intensified the positive emotions she unconsciously gave off.
This made her appear like a loving, innocent, happy, and even na?ve girl.
The second reason was her beauty.
The young man had been struck with her as soon as he saw her.
She was just so innocent, so fragile.
He needed to protect her!
Because of that, he believed Ste to be innocent, even though that was impossible due to the sheer fact that Ste was already a Star God.
Like this, an incredible opportunity to learn about their opponent had arrived for the Myriad Sect.
What great luck!
