Beberapa tahun lalu, seluruh alam semesta di bawah pengawasan Dao Fana mengalami perubahan drastis.
Batasan Bintang Solar telah dicabut! Tak terhitung Peramal Surgawi dan makhluk kuat mencari jawaban dan informasi tentang penyertaan tak terduga dari kategori yang baru didefinisikan—Penentang! Mereka meramal penyebabnya dengan menelusuri masa lalu, tetapi seolah dijaga oleh Dao Fana sendiri, banyak yang menderita serangan balik atau menemukan informasi tidak lengkap yang tidak cukup untuk menemukan alasannya!
Namun, mereka merayakan kejadian itu! Banyak jenius puncak yang lahir terlalu dini, naik terlalu cepat, meratap putus asa dan marah, mengutuk dunia karena ketidakmampuan mereka menetapkan puncak kultivasi baru sebagai fana. Mereka hanya bisa menggunakan kesempatan ini untuk mencari bantuan guna mendorong Domain Bintang Terikat Dunia seukuran Absolut mereka ke tahap berikutnya menggunakan sumber daya mewah dan dukungan besar mereka. Dan bagi mereka yang berada di ambang kenaikan, menantang peringkat, atau menghadapi pesaing di antara kekuatan mereka, mengalihkan fokus mereka sepenuhnya dari persiapan naik ke meningkatkan Domain Bintang Terikat Dunia mereka! Tak terhitung peternakan bintang dipanen dan segala macam material surgawi seperti Pohon Astralis mengalami penurunan signifikan di alam semesta. Perjuangan telah dimulai!
Tetapi ratapan putus asa tidak akan berhenti karena Bintang Solar seukuran Absolut ini meningkat dan meningkat dalam ukuran melampaui maksimum sebelumnya tanpa gangguan dari Dao Fana, namun tidak ada tanda-tanda mereka menghancurkan batas mereka!

San Yongli mengikat rambutnya menjadi kuncir kuda tinggi yang ketat sambil memegangnya dengan pengikat rambut merah yang bersinar dengan aura mistisisme yang samar. Ekspresinya berubah drastis.
"Apa maksudmu ada kategori ukuran baru untuk Bintang Solar? Kapan?"
Wen Mingna duduk di dekatnya di atas mayat raksasa seorang kultivator Ras Titan dengan armor tubuh lembut berwarna emas, menampilkan sosok pahlawan surgawi yang kuat dan cantik, sama sekali tidak seperti Peramal Surgawi. Ada tanda-tanda bekas pedang dan area di mana anak panah mencoba menembus, dan dia minum dari kantong air kristal.
"Namanya Penentang."
"Penentang? Betapa mendominasi. Berapa ukuran minimumnya?" tanya Ma Sujiang. Setetes darah mengalir dari lubang hidung kirinya, yang dia abaikan, saat dia menatap langit—medan perang untuk makhluk Ascendant.
"Ukuran minimum?" Wen Mingna merenung sambil mengerutkan bibirnya. "Aku tidak tahu."
San Yongli mengepalkan tinjunya setelah merapikan rambutnya yang berantakan, sedikit memulihkan penampilannya yang memesona. Dia memiliki jalan yang ditetapkan menuju puncak, dan sekarang puncak baru telah terbentuk. Dia harus bekerja lebih keras. Di antara alisnya bersinar lembut.
Wen Mingna tanpa terlihat melirik San Yongli. Jari-jarinya bergerak sedikit. Bahkan San Yongli tidak memperhatikan seberkas cahaya keemasan yang sangat kecil, hampir tidak berarti, keluar dari di antara alisnya dan merayap perlahan hingga mencapai jari Wen Mingna.
"Aku yakin Tian Yinwu ingin tahu," kata Wen Mingna sambil meregangkan tubuh dan bangkit dari kursi mayatnya. Lalu, dia menatap langit, wajah bermata perak melintas di benaknya, dan dia tidak bisa menahan keinginan untuk tersenyum saat menyentuh bibirnya tanpa sadar.
"Ya, ayo pergi." San Yongli mengangguk.
Ekspresi Ma Sujiang melintas dengan sedikit keputusasaan, dan dia menggertakkan giginya dan menguatkan hatinya. Dia mulai terbang ke atas sekali lagi! Medan Perang....bukan tempat terbaik untuk seorang pedagang!

Tidak Diketahui.
Satu kata, namun dengan sempurna merangkum pemahaman Wei Wuyin tentang ukuran Penentang Kecil: Tidak Diketahui.
Bertahun-tahun lalu, Wei Wuyin menantang Kesengsaraan Astral Inti Bintangnya—Kesengsaraan Pemusnahan Bintang Fana. Penentang Kecil lahir saat itu. Namun, selama kelahirannya, selama tindakan berulangnya melahap Bintang Alpha dan Omega, ia telah tumbuh ke ukuran yang tak tertandingi, dan keberadaannya telah melampaui batas Dao Fana, dengan menantang menghancurkan batas surga! Ia menentang norma, jadi ia dinamai Penentang.
Namun, Penentang Kecil tetap berada di ruang metafisik unik Mata Pikiran-nya dalam bentuk tereduksi sebagai Domain Bintang Terikat Dunia, dan Wei Wuyin tidak dapat menentukan ukurannya tidak peduli seberapa keras dia mencoba. Sementara Roh Perang Surgawi, Bai Xiu, dan empat Jiwa Astralnya dapat 'merasakan' ukuran Penentang Kecil, Wei Wuyin sama sekali tidak mampu.
Ketidaktahuan ini menyebabkan Roh Perang Surgawi memberikan peringatan keras dan tegas untuk TIDAK PERNAH melepaskan Penentang Kecil. Kata-katanya persis: "Kau tidak bisa melepaskannya—PERNAH! Kau akan membawa akhir dari Wilayah Tersegel jika kau melakukannya. Dan semua orang, maksudku, SEMUA ORANG di dalamnya."
Wei Wuyin telah menjawab saat itu seolah-olah dia sepenuhnya memahami implikasinya, tetapi setelah menggunakan kekuatan Penentang Kecil dan kendalinya yang luar biasa atas panas dan pancarannya, dia merenungkan membersihkan satu atau dua wilayah bekas ukuran Wilayah Stellar di Wilayah Stellar Neo-Dawn dan membiarkan Penentang Kecil mengawasi area tersebut, benar-benar membangun perlindungan terbesar Kekaisaran Neo-Dawn terhadap makhluk-makhluk yang tak terbayangkan itu dan sumber daya untuk membina para Ascendant.
Ide ini berkecamuk untuk sementara waktu sebelum dia memutuskan untuk tidak melakukannya sampai Kekaisaran Neo-Dawn stabil dengan Bayi Penentang setelah beberapa tahun, mungkin beberapa dekade. Itu akan memberinya lebih banyak waktu untuk menemukan lokasi yang cocok.
Setelah melihat dunia surgawi fenomenal dari Penguasa Ascendant di Zona Galaksi Azure-Prime, yang membentang triliunan mil ke segala arah, Wei Wuyin merasa bahwa mengerahkan Penentang Kecil setelah rencananya selesai mengenai Malapetaka Akhir Semua-Bintang adalah yang terbaik.
Ia memiliki lebih dari cukup ruang.
Saat itu, dia mengingat Era Bintang Satu, di mana dikatakan satu Bintang Solar telah memancarkan seluruh galaksi, khususnya Galaksi Onestar, dalam pancarannya selama berabad-abad, Bintang Solar yang diklasifikasikan sebagai 'puncak' dari kategori ukuran Absolut. Dikatakan sebagai batas yang melampaui batas yang telah ditetapkan sebelumnya. Tubuh Jiaolong setelah gagal naik melampaui!
Semua Bintang Solar lain yang diciptakan secara artifisial oleh Mystic Ascendant atau lebih tinggi akan mengalami Pemusnahan Fana jika mereka melebihi ukuran batas yang telah ditetapkan sebelumnya dari 'Absolut'. Tanda ketidakmauan mutlak Dao Fana untuk mengizinkan keberadaan seperti itu. Terlebih lagi, Dao Mistis tidak pernah ikut campur. Tapi selalu ada pengecualian luar biasa. Selalu.
Satu kalimat pemikiran itu: "Ia memiliki lebih dari cukup ruang," membuat Wei Wuyin memahami kedalaman ketidaktahuannya saat dia berjemur dalam kebesaran Penentang Kecil. Ukuran. Klasifikasi ukuran Dao Fana sederhana: semua Kerdil, buatan atau alami, harus berukuran minimum untuk mendapatkan gelar itu. Ukuran minimum itu persisnya 108.000 mil dalam diameter, hampir selalu berbentuk bola. Ini lebih besar dari sebagian besar planet berukuran besar. Setelah Bintang Kerdil, klasifikasi berikutnya, dalam urutan dari terkecil ke terbesar: Titan, Kolosus, Supermasif, Absolut, dan yang baru ditambahkan: Penentang.
Klasifikasi selanjutnya mengikuti logika yang sangat sederhana, semuanya berdasarkan minimum ini. Setiap Bintang Titan harus setidaknya sepuluh kali minimum Bintang Kerdil, jadi batas Bintang Kerdil adalah antara 108.000 hingga 1.079.999 mil dalam diameter bola, dan Bintang Kerdil pada batas itu dianggap Bintang Kerdil Puncak. Setiap Bintang Kolosus harus setidaknya sepuluh kali minimum Bintang Titan, sehingga Bintang Titan berada di antara 1.080.000 hingga 10.799.999 mil.
Sementara itu, klasifikasi mulai melompat dari Bintang Kolosus ke atas, melompat dari sepuluh menjadi seratus menjadi seribu hingga lebih jauh lagi! Wei Wuyin pernah harus menuliskan angka-angkanya untuk memahami ukuran itu, pernah menuliskan angka-angka di buku catatan:
Bintang Solar seukuran Kerdil: (Minimum) 108.000 hingga (Maksimum) 1.079.999 Mil.
Bintang Solar seukuran Titan: 1.080.000 hingga 10.799.999 Mil.
Bintang Solar seukuran Kolosus: 10.800.000 hingga 1.079.999.999 Mil.
Bintang Solar seukuran Supermasif: 1.080.000.000 hingga 1.079.999.999.999 Mil.
Bintang Solar seukuran Absolut: (Batas Diketahui) 1.080.000.000.000!
Itu sebelum penyertaan ukuran Penentang karena ukuran Absolut adalah batas MUTLAK dari semua Bintang Solar. Hanya satu mil yang membedakan dua kategori Supermasif dan Absolut, namun sama sulitnya dengan kenaikan, dan kualitas fundamentalnya sama jauhnya berbeda seperti makhluk Fana dan Ascendant. Terlebih lagi, sangat dirumorkan bahwa Bintang Solar Galaksi Onestar yang lahir dari mayat Jiaolong telah melampaui batas itu!
Sayangnya, sulit untuk menentukan apakah itu benar atau tidak.
Diameter 1,08 triliun mil tidak terlalu raksasa ketika skala galaksi dipertimbangkan, karena dikatakan bahwa Bintang Solar seukuran Absolut hanya menempati satu Wilayah Stellar dan menerangi seluruh Zona Galaksi, Zona Galaksi Azure-Prime! Sementara itu, Wilayah Tersegel Kuno membentang triliunan mil dari tepi ke tepi! Sementara tiga Penguasa Ascendant memiliki wilayah yang panjangnya triliunan mil!
Jadi apa artinya 1,08 triliun mil? Itu menakutkan dan mengesankan di bawah cakupan pikiran
A few years ago, the entire universe under the purview of the Mortal Dao experienced a dramatic change.
The Solar Stars' limitations have been lifted! Countless Heavenly Seers and powerful beings sought answers and information into this unexpected inclusion of a newly defined category-Defiant! They scryed for the cause by looking into the past, but as if guarded by the Mortal Dao themselves, many suffered backlashes or found incomplete information that simply wasn't enough to hone onto the reason!
They, however, celebrated its occurrence! Numerous, formerly, pinnacle geniuses born too early, ascended too fast, wailed despair and anger, cursing the world for their inability to establish the new pinnacle of cultivation as mortals. They could only use this opportunity to seek out assistance to push their Absolute-sized World-Bound Star Domains to the next stage using their luxurious resources and great backing. And for those at the cusp of ascending, challenging rankings, or facing competitors amongst their forces, shifted their complete focus from preparing to ascend to elevating their World-Bound Star Domains! Countless star farms were harvested and all sorts of heavenly materials such as the Astralis Tree experienced noticeable decreases in the universe. The struggle had begun!
But the wails of despair wouldn't stop as these Absolute-sized Solar Stars increased and increased in size beyond their previous maximum without any interference from the Mortal Dao, yet there was no sign of them shattering their limits!
-----
San Yongli tied her hair into a tight, uplifted ponytail as she held it with a crimson hair tie that shone with a faint aura of mysticism. Her expression shifted dramatically.
"What do you mean there's a new size category for Solar Stars? When?"
Wen Mingna sat nearby on the giant corpse of a Titan Race cultivator in golden soft body armor, cutting a valiant, heavenly figure of strength and beauty, completely unlike a Heavenly Seer. There were signs of sword scars and areas where arrows tried to pierce, and she drank from a crystalline waterskin.
"It's called Defiant."
"Defiant? How domineering. What's the size minimum?" Ma Sujiang asked. A line of blood leaked from her left nostril, which she ignored, as she looked at the sky-the battlefield for Ascended beings.
"Size minimum?" Wen Mingna mused as she pursed her lips. "I don't know."
San Yongli clenched her fists after fixing her messy hair, regaining her bewitching looks by a little. She had a path set out for the pinnacle, and now a new pinnacle had formed. She had to work harder. Her glabella glowed softly.
Wen Mingna imperceptibly gave San Yongli a sidelong glance. Her fingers moved a little. Not even San Yongli noticed a tiny, almost insignificant wisp of golden light escape her glabella and slither slowly until it reached Wen Mingna's finger.
"I'm sure Tian Yinwu will want to know," Wen Mingna said as she stretched and rose from her corpse seat. Then, she looked at the sky, a silver-eyed face flashed within her mind, and she couldn't resist the urge to smile as she touched her lips subconsciously.
"Yeah, let's go." San Yongli nodded.
Ma Sujiang's expression flashed with a hint of despair, and she gritted her teeth and steeled her heart. She began to fly upwards once again! The Battlefield....was not the best place for a merchant!

Unknown.
A single word, yet it perfectly encapsulated Wei Wuyin's understanding of Little Defiant's size: Unknown.
Years ago, Wei Wuyin challenged his Star Core Astral Tribulation-the Mortal Star Eradication Tribulation. Little Defiant was born during. However, during its birth, during its repeated feats of devouring Absolute Stars of the Alpha and Omega, it had grown to a size unrivaled, and its existence had exceeded the limits of the Mortal Dao, shattering heaven's limits defiantly! It defied the norm, so it was named Defiant.
However, Little Defiant had remained in his Mind's Eye's unique metaphysical space in reduced form as a World-Bound Star Domain, and Wei Wuyin was unable to determine its size regardless of how hard he tried. While the Heavenly War Spirit, Bai Xiu, and his four Astral Souls could 'perceive' Little Defiant's size, Wei Wuyin simply was unable to.
This ignorance led to the Heavenly War Spirit giving a vehement and strict warning to NEVER release Little Defiant. Her words exactly: "You can't release it-EVER! You'll bring about the end of the Sealed Regions if you do. And everyone, I mean, EVERYONE in it."
Wei Wuyin had replied at the time as if he fully understood the implication, but after using Little Defiant's power and his remarkable control over its heat and radiance, he contemplated clearing out an entire or two former Stellar Region-sized territories in the Neo-Dawn Stellar Region and allowing Little Defiant to oversee the area, genuinely establishing the Neo-Dawn Empire's greatest protection against those unfathomable beings and resource to nurture the Ascendants.
This idea rummaged around for a while before he decided against doing so until the Neo-Dawn Empire stabilized with Baby Defiant after a few years, perhaps a few decades even. It'll give him more time to find a suitable location.
After seeing the phenomenal celestial worlds of the Ascended Sovereigns of the Azure-Prime Galactic Zone, which spanned for trillions upon trillions of miles in every direction, Wei Wuyin felt that deploying Little Defiant after his plans had been completed regarding the All-Stellar Ending Calamity was best.
It had more than enough space.
At the time, he recalled the One-Star Era, where it was said a single Solar Star had basked an entire galaxy, specifically the Onestar Galaxy, in its radiance for ages, a Solar Star classified as the 'apex' of the Absolute-size category. It was said to be the limit that exceeded the preconceived limit. The body of Jiaolong upon failing to ascend beyond!
All other Solar Stars artificially created by Mystic Ascendants or higher would experience Mortal Annihilation should they exceed the size of the preconceived limit of 'Absolute'. A sign of the Mortal Dao's absolute unwillingness to allow such an existence. Moreover, the Mystic Dao never interfered. But there were always extraordinary exceptions. Always.
That single sentence of thought: "It has more than enough space," made Wei Wuyin understand the depths of his ignorance as he basked in Little Defiant's enormity. Size. The Mortal Dao's classification of size was simple: all Dwarfs, artificial or natural, needed to be of a minimum size to earn that title. That minimum size was exactly 108,000 miles in diameter, almost always in a spherical shape. This was bigger than most large-sized planets. After Dwarf Stars, the next classifications were, in order of smallest to largest: Titan, Colossal, Supermassive, Absolute, and the newly added: Defiant.
The further classifications followed a very simple logic, all based on this minimum. Every Titan Star must be at least ten times the minimum of Dwarf Stars, so the limit of Dwarf Stars was between 108,000 to 1,079,999 miles in spherical diameter, and Dwarf Stars at that limit were considered Apex Dwarf Stars. Every Colossal Star must be at least ten times the minimum of Titan Stars, as such Titan Stars were between 1,080,000 to 10,799,999 miles.
Meanwhile, the classification begins to leap from Colossal Stars and upwards, jumping from ten to a hundred to a thousand to further beyond! Wei Wuyin had to once write out the numbers to wrap his head around that size, once put numbers in a notebook:
Dwarf-sized Solar Stars: (Minimum) 108,000 to (Maximum) 1,079,999 Miles.
Titan-sized Solar Stars: 1,080,000 to 10,799,999 Miles.
Colossal-sized Solar Stars: 10,800,000 to 1,079,999,999 Miles.
Supermassive-sized Solar Stars: 1,080,000,000 to 1,079,999,999,999 Miles.
Absolute-sized Solar Stars: (Known Limit) 1,080,000,000,000!
That was before Defiant-size's inclusion as Absolute-size was the ABSOLUTE limit of all Solar Stars. Just a single mile divided the two categories of Supermassive and Absolute, yet it was as difficult as ascending, and the fundamental quality was as vastly different as a Mortal and an Ascended being. Moreover, it was heavily rumored that the Onestar Galaxy's Solar Star born of Jiaolong's corpse had exceeded that limit!
Unfortunately, it was difficult to determine if that was true or not.
A diameter of 1.08 trillion miles was not too gargantuan when the galactic scale was considered, as it was said that the Absolute-sized Solar Star occupied only a Stellar Region and illuminated an entire Galactic Zone, the Azure-Prime Galactic Zone! Meanwhile, the Ancient Sealed Regions spanned trillions of miles from edge to edge! While the three Ascended Sovereigns had territories that were trillions upon trillions of miles in length!
So what was 1.08 trillion miles then? It was daunting and impressive beneath the breadth of a mortal's mind but not too extreme to grasp by any with sufficiently expanded horizons on a galactic scale. Just the White Abyss Galaxy and Onestar Galaxy were quintillions of miles across from end to end, as the three territories didn't occupy the entirety of the Galaxy and had plenty of space between them!
If an Absolute-sized Solar Star was placed in the smallest Galaxy, it'd certainly stand out the most, illuminating the entirety in its radiance and every lifeform that could see the starry skies would see it without a doubt, but it wouldn't dominate the galaxy!
However...Wei Wuyin finally understood the stress in the Heavenly War Spirit's voice back then. Those words echoed in his mind as the warmth of Little Defiant's light shone upon his skin, gently caressing it with the most comfortable temperature suited for his body. The level of intimate knowledge regarding his body and soul was on full display here.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING?!"
"WHAT IS THAT?!?! IS THAT THE STAR? YOUR STAR?!"
"No way! It's...holy heavens! That's impossible! What is that thing? How can it exist? Wait, how can you hold it in your Mind's Eye? Why isn't your soul burning?! Is it really your World-Bound Star? No way! How can it be this big? How can anything be this big?! It can't be that massive!"
Wei Wuyin understood all of it. The warning and what the Heavenly War Spirit meant by 'everyone' in her hysterics. It wasn't limited to just the Ancient Sealed Regions.
"Lord of Stars, huh? How apt." Wei Wuyin's Celestial Eyes shone as he stared at Little Defiant, fully realized.
1.08 trillion miles?
Wei Wuyin blinked. Small things.
This?
This defied the heavens.
3,596,400,000,000,000!
3,596,400,000,000,000!!!
3,596,400,000,000,000!!!!!
"3.5 quintillion miles..." Wei Wuyin relied on his trusty mental notebook as he did the math. While Supermassive to Absolute was a thousand times the difference of the minimum, Little Defiant was 333,000 the minimum!!!

[Author's Note: Little Defiant's Arc right here.
To those who haven't fully grasped that size yet, still needing just a little boost to your cultivation by using google, let me assist. Little Defiant is bigger than a dwarf galaxy of our universe. XD
ENORMOUS!
Milky Way's bigger though.]
