However, none of them knew that at this very moment, within the body of Logan Bennett, who had just taken the Star Marrow Pill, an earth-shattering transformation was taking place.

He seemed to have arrived in an unknown space, where many objects floated around him. Looking closely, he recognized each and every one—they were all items from the stationery store.

However, these things were very far from him, completely out of reach.

The only thing that brought him some comfort was the object in his hand.

This seemed to be the very thing he had just managed to grab with all his might.

Looking down, he saw a chess box in his hand, one that was extremely familiar.

It was a set suitable for all ages, a game almost every child had played—Animal Chess!

Chapter 4: The Star Power of the Mouse

For some reason, when Logan Bennett's gaze fell upon the Animal Chess set, all the other items immediately drifted away, until they disappeared from his sight. Although he knew these things still existed, he simply could not see them anymore.

In this mysterious space, Logan Bennett held the Animal Chess set, his face full of bewilderment.

However, no matter who was in his place, they would probably have the same expression.

No one knew how much time had passed before Logan Bennett's consciousness finally withdrew from this mysterious space and returned to his physical body.

He took a deep breath and immediately felt that his body seemed different.

The sensation was very strange, as if he had always been wrapped in a thick cotton coat, making every movement difficult and awkward. But now, that innate heavy coat had disappeared—or rather, a force that had been restraining him had miraculously vanished.

Logan Bennett stood up. He stretched his arms and legs, moving around for a while. Although his strength hadn't increased, nor had his movements become more agile, he could clearly feel that he was indeed different.

Violet Bennett was a genius at cultivating star power. Even when she was very young, she could draw star power into her body on her own and received divine favor, allowing her to progress rapidly. Because of this, she was able to support the family at such a young age.

As the brother of a genius, Logan Bennett was no stranger to cultivating star power.

Both his sister and Chad Sullivan had placed great hopes on him, teaching him the methods of drawing in and absorbing star power with all their heart. However, no one could have imagined that although Logan Bennett could sense the existence of star power, no matter how hard he tried, he could not draw it into his body, let alone accumulate it.

After countless failed attempts, even if they were unwilling to accept it, they eventually found the reason.

Logan Bennett's meridians were congenitally blocked, making it impossible for star power to flow through.

If this had happened to an ordinary family, there would be nothing to complain about. After all, very few people among humans could cultivate star power—if even one in dozens could, it would already be quite impressive.

But as the brother of Violet Bennett, it was a completely different matter.

Perhaps it was because Logan Bennett could not bear the blow of this reality that he became increasingly depressed, and when his sister disappeared and bullies tormented him, he chose to escape, ultimately allowing this outsider to take control of his body.

Of course, all this was just his speculation. More importantly, from that day on, he became Logan Bennett.

All the memories flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern. Gradually, Logan Bennett calmed his mind and carefully sensed everything around him.

In this world, there was an endless abundance of power.

According to what Logan Bennett had learned, this power came from countless deities in the starry sky. Each deity was generous and lofty, continuously pouring their power into the world for people to absorb and cultivate, granting them unparalleled strength.

If he was fated with a certain deity, he would be able to sense that deity's presence and visualize them in his sea of consciousness. During this visualization, he could absorb star power, temper it within his body, and eventually digest and assimilate it as his own strength.

Although Logan Bennett was rather dismissive of this explanation, if he wanted to gain enough power to protect his sister, he had to take the next step.

Sense and visualize a deity, absorb star power into his body, and grow stronger.

Only if one day his star power surpassed his sister's could he truly become her guardian.

After a moment, Logan Bennett immediately sensed the boundless power permeating the endless void. This feeling was not unfamiliar—every time Logan Bennett had tried before, he could sense this miraculous scene.

However, sensing it was one thing; whether he could absorb it into his body and accumulate it was another matter entirely.

Previously, whenever Logan Bennett tried to do this, his whole body would ache unbearably. Even if he grit his teeth and persevered, the result was always the same: he would faint on the spot.
