The suppression forces kept changing as Miaomiao ascended the pagoda.
He lost count of how many times his skeleton system was crushed to ash and got reconstructed. However, every time his organs were restored, he gained enough strength to take one step further.
Miaomiao's steps were firm but slow. It took him 10 hours to climb from the 55th floor to the 60th floor.
He looked at the clock. He had two hours remaining in this tower.
'I can't reach the top floor at this rate. My physique is too weak!'
Miaomiao inwardly cried. He didn't want to leave this pagoda as it was the best place for enhancing his physique. He couldn't call himself a physique cultivator with a mass of flappy muscles and mushy bones.
He glanced at the wristwatch again. Then, he checked his remaining lifespan.
A bit over 3 billion years remained.
'One second is one year. One minute is 60 years. One hour is 3,600 years…'
Miaomiao began calculating how long he could stop time by using this artifact.
He had a weird idea. He wondered if the suppression force would still be active when the time was paused.
Since no one would know if nobody tested it, Miaomiao pressed the time stop button on his wristwatch.
CLICK
years of lifespan was consumed upon activation. From here on out, every second that Miaomiao kept staying in this state would decrease his lifespan by one year. But if he stayed in this time-frozen world for a year, he would lose over 31 million years of lifespan!
Thinking about the potential loss of his lifespan, Miaomiao had a heartache. He stopped thinking about numbers and took a step forward.
"…"
Miaomiao didn't feel anything. Betraying his expectation, the pagoda didn't crush his bones and muscles.
He sighed in disappointment. He thought that the forces behind the treasure would have been active in this state.
'Should I rush to the top floor and get the taste of the strongest pressure?'
Miaomiao had the urge to cheat, but he dismissed the idea right away.
Rushing to the top floor might cause a backlash. After all, he might get attacked by the suppression force of a 110-star stellar constellation immortal, which might instantly kill him on the spot.
Being safe is better than sorry. Miaomiao resumed the time flow and proceeded normally.
"I'd rather be a mediocre protagonist than being an arrogant and reckless cowboy. I should take this at a steady pace to get stronger."
Said the edgy dude who picked the RUSH B strategy.
But as soon as Miaomiao was determined to honestly proceed, something inside him changed. The Heavenly Fate power inside him surged as if it approved Miaomiao's decision.

<Heavenly Dao of Zenith Heaven approves of your mindset.>
<Heavenly Dao of Zenith Heaven has blessed you. From now on, your luck energy will constantly improve your bloodline, talent, spiritual roots, and cultivation aptitude.>
<A reminder: Please be more optimistic. You are not talentless.>
Seeing the notifications, Miaomiao rebuked in anger.
"I don't believe you! How can I not be talentless when I can't even reach the 100th floor?! Xie Tian did it every time whenever he took this test! Also, that motherfucker's cultivation base is superior to me when he took the test!"
<…>
Miaomiao had no idea that his words contradicted logic. Obviously, Xie Tian managed to do in other timelines because he came here as an immortal with a perfect foundation. On the other hand, Miaomiao failed to reach the top because of his weaker cultivation base and foundation.
Miaomiao was never talentless. It was his inferior-complex mentality and his not-so-good brain that hindered his growth.
RUMBLE
Frustrated, sad, and depressed, Miaomiao ignored the world and walked toward the staircase.
His bones and muscles were destroyed and reconstructed. Even though Miaomiao no longer focused on evolving his blood cells, his subconsciousness automatically did everything that he had been doing for the past 22 hours.
Strangely, Miaomiao's pace was faster than usual.
Previously, Miaomiao took 5 to 10 seconds to move one step. But now, he walked without pausing.
The reconstructed physique now adapted to the environment at a faster rate. With just one reconstruction procedure, his physique improved by a major realm.
Floor 65
'Odd.'
Miaomiao looked at the number over his head. The force was now level 70. However, he didn't feel anything anymore.
On the contrary, his body felt light. He thought that he had been walking on the moon.
Miaomiao looked at the clock again. He had less than 30 minutes left.
'Oh well.'
He shrugged and began running.
BOOM
As soon as Miaomiao's feet kicked the ground, he instantly leaped a hundred meters, and his head was about to hit the ceiling.
"Whoops!"
Miaomiao flipped his body upside down. Then, he ran on the ceiling toward the staircase. He lightly flipped around without letting his hands or other body parts touched anything in the pagoda.
Soon, he was in a trance. Miaomiao was engrossed in the joy of the lightness and the moon parkour.
By the time he realized it, 10 minutes had passed.
RUMBLE
Miaomiao could finally sense his weight again. He looked at his surroundings and the number over his head.
[92]
"Huh?"
Miaomiao was puzzled. He didn't sense any pain from his joints or his muscle anymore.
He even forgot the last time that his physique was semi-destroyed and reconstructed!
"Which floor is this?"
<85th Floor.>
"…"
Miaomiao looked at the clock. Less than 20 minutes remained.
With 15 floors to go, Miaomiao looked at the stairs with high expectations.
He could do this!
Without saying anything, Miaomiao sprinted with all his might. He braced through lightning currents and firestorms inside this hall, which first showed up on this level.
The suppression force of this floor was different as well. Not only did it twist and distorted the gravity, but it also generated shockwaves to push Miaomiao to the windows, hoping to eject him out of the pagoda by force.
Miaomiao's steps were firm. He resisted various elemental attacks from the tower and proceeded to the next floor within 10 seconds.
The 86th floor was a new hell. Everything within sight was the sea of black flame.
Miaomiao recognized the flame well. It was Origin Primordial Yin Flame. He once tried to kill Xie Tian when they first fought, but Xie Tian easily dispelled this flame with a dragon breathe.
This Yin Flame was a stronger version of the Yin Flame skill of the Silver Phoenix Sect. It could be said that it was the original version of the skill, and it was inextinguishable.
Even so, Miaomiao remembered the trick that Xie Tian in the other timelines had used.
The trick was simple. All Miaomiao needed to do was to reach the safe zone, aka the staircase, before he was burnt to death!
Miaomiao kicked the ground and jumped into the sea of Origin Primordial Yin Flame. The Evil Flame immediately burnt his blood and flesh!
The damage of the Origin Primordial Yin Flame gradually turned all outer layers of Miaomiao's skin to ash. However, he regenerated the lost parts instantly by using the hidden power of his Daos.
However, the flame didn't die down. It caught his hair, his eyes, his face, and his mouth. The black flame soon entered his lungs and stomach through his throat!
'Hmm.'
Being burnt alive was painful, but Miaomiao got used to it. He reached the next floor before the flame could burn his soft brain!
As soon as Miaomiao crossed the floor and reached the staircase, the yin flame on him vanished.
He let out a sigh of relief and caught his breath. His burnt parts were regenerated and healed.
Despite having cleared the floor, Miaomiao sensed that he might miss an opportunity here. He turned around and walked back into the fire!
WHOOM
The black flame entered his body once more. It continued to burn him.
While being burnt, Miaomiao suddenly had an inspiration. He looked at his wristwatch, which was immune to the flame.
What if he used both Time Acceleration on his body and the flame while he decelerated the world's time?
Can he even decelerated the time flow of the universe with the stopwatch?
He had less than 8 minutes in the pagoda, and there were so many things that Miaomiao wanted to do here. He couldn't afford to miss this opportunity!
Without hesitation, he edited the effect range and pressed both buttons!
Ding
<Heavenly Dao of Zenith Heaven is moved by your improving intelligence.>
<Heavenly Dao of Zenith Heaven has enhanced the Stopwatch. From now on, you will not lose your lifespan whenever you use the Stopwatch to train.>
"How nice of you."
<Heavenly Dao is kind and benevolent.>
<That being said, please consider protecting Heavenly Dao in the future when you reach the pinnacle.>
"Don't worry. I'll repay this kindness a thousand folds!"
<Heavenly Dao of Zenith Heaven thanks you.>
RUMBLE
The time flow of the universe became so slow that the playback speed of the world was less than 0.001x.
However, on the hellfire floor, the time flow was accelerated by 100 folds! Miaomiao sensed that the flame consumed half of his body in an instant!
Miaomiao panicked and took a step back to the safe zone. Yet, he laughed.
He looked at the time. Not even a second had passed. However, his fleshly body had completely regenerated because of the abnormal time flow.
"I can do this!"
Miaomiao was determined that he wanted to refine his physique until this Origin Primordial Yin Flame of the pagoda couldn't hurt him anymore. He took a step back into the flame field once more.
Then, when he was about to die because of the flame, he took a step back to the safe zone.
The grind continued!
…
Miaomiao lost count of how long he had been on this floor. However, 10 seconds had passed in reality.
He stood in the middle of the floor, taking the bath with the yin flame. He cackled like a maniac as the black flame couldn't harm him anymore.
Moreover, several planets in his dantian space evolved into stellar planets! The Origin Yin Flame ended up refining several compound elements at once and improved the Daos of his sentinels.

Dao of Corruption, Dao of Death Curse, Dao of Moonlight Blessing, Dao of Seduction, Dao of Pestilence, Dao of Negative and Positive Karma, Stellar Dao of Apocalyptic Plague, and Dao of Absolute Darkness primarily based on Yin Energy. As a result, these Daos and their compound elements absorbed enough energy to increase the mass of their planes and stars.
As for the rest of the Daos, they were upgraded into planets. The elements without Dao Pillars also evolved from being continents into moons respectively. However, these moons and planets could not evolve into stellar stars as they lacked either Origin Primordial Yang Qi or Providence Qi to grow.
Though without the Heavenly Merit, these stars turned into stellar stars!
The flame also refined Miaomiao's dantian several times. Because of the repeated loop of damage and reconstructions, his dantian expanded enough to accommodate several stellar stars.
Miaomiao was excited. For once, he felt like a protagonist.
"Next floor! Next floor!"
While being under the effect of the stopwatch, Miaomiao sprinted toward the next floor.
Then, he encountered another sea of flame. But this time, it was Origin Primordial Yang Flame.
Miaomiao licked his lips.
"With this, I can refine all of my element planes, planets, and Daos! I might even have 31 stellar stars after this!"
A mortal with 31 stellar stars constellation immortal's overall strength?
What would happen if all 31 stellar stars give birth to more planets, moons, and stars?
Would he create a massive universe and star systems in his dantian?
Moreover, Miaomiao could potentially accomplish it while he was still a mortal?
What was this HAX?
