320. Chapter 315: The stars of all heavens fall into place, demonic qi permeates the Earth

Compared to the vast, boundless universe, the space station is like a tiny firefly crawling in the darkness, dotted in the corner of a black curtain.

Only when they neared Earth did everyone discover that it was actually a green light, within which a slender shadow was wrapped—it was Longling's avatar!

Everyone then involuntarily let out a breath of relief, 'It turns out to be the Demon Master!'

However, the machine's sound kept blaring; on the big screen, besides the marker representing Longling's avatar, a huge red dot followed behind it.

Li Jianzhong looked at the feedback from the satellite, his pupils showing deep doubt: 'Huh, it seems something is still following behind the Demon Master?'

He quickly asked the nearby staff, 'Can you tell what it actually is?'

The staff member busily worked at the command console, then shook his head and said, 'For now we still don't know; the target object is too far from the space station to capture a clear image.'

This object is hurtling toward Earth at extreme speed, more accurately speaking, it is following behind Longling's avatar.

It was only after Longling's avatar appeared that this unknown object appeared.

'What exactly is this?'

Everyone's gaze toward the screen was filled with curiosity.

Hua Tiancheng and the others who rushed over upon receiving the news saw nothing but all the space staff gathered around the big screen, whispering to each other.

His heart gave a jolt, thinking something had happened, he hurried forward and anxiously asked:

'What is the situation now?'

Li Jianzhong hurriedly reported: 'The Demon Master is preparing to return to Earth, but there is still an unknown object following behind him; we currently cannot determine what it is.'

Actually, Longling's avatar returning to Earth would not have caused such a commotion originally, but considering the Star Beast following behind him, the Great Xia was unaware, so to avoid unnecessary panic, this situation arose.

Hua Tiancheng frowned slightly, 'Unknown object?'

Thinking of the Demon Master's earlier words about going to war in the cosmos, could this be the Demon Master's enemy?!

Just as the two were talking, as Longling's avatar drew nearer, the mysterious object behind it finally revealed a hint of its form, and a staff member exclaimed in surprise.

'Bureau Director, the space station has captured the relevant image!'

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn there, but after seeing the scene on the screen clearly, everyone froze in place, sucked in a breath of cold air, unable to believe what they saw.

In the distant dark universe, that slender, otherworldly shadow emitted specks of green light, endless vitality and blood surging from within, like a guiding lamp.

Around it, the Milky Way flowed, countless stars twinkling, also surging along; the vast galaxy seemed like an endless waterfall, following behind that shadow.

The scene before them looked dreamlike and beautiful: only see a huge star leaping forth from the river of stars, wherever it passed, it stirred up huge ripples and waves.

It simply followed behind Longling's avatar, its whole body radiating brilliant light.

It seemed like a deity born from the depths of the cosmos, instantly seizing everyone's hearts and minds, yet mixed with endless majesty, making people unable to resist the urge to worship.

Actually, Longling's avatar and the Star Beast are still at an extremely distant distance, but the Star Beast transformed into a star is so enormous that it can already be seen.

Everyone instinctively held their breath, a flash of shock crossed their eyes, but soon that shock turned into fear and panic!

Li Jianzhong's pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed in disbelief: 'How could this be!'

'The thing behind the Demon Master is actually—'

No wonder he showed such a flustered expression; the unknown object behind the Demon Master turned out to be an enormously huge star!

What on earth is going on?!

Watching Longling's avatar and that star continually approach Earth, the speed not only didn't slow but intensified, Li Jianzhong's vision went black, and he nearly fainted.

'If this star were to strike the Earth, the consequences would be unimaginable!'

Each star has its own orbit, and they are far apart; in the solar system, the planets, under the Sun's gravity, continuously run along their own orbits around the Sun and do not deviate from them.

Beyond the solar system, the distances between stars are even greater; the nearest star to Earth is 4.22 light-years away from the solar system, so the probability of such a collision is truly minuscule.

Even if occasional meteorites fall to Earth, they are merely meteoroids or fragments that have deviated from their original orbits, swiftly scattering onto Earth or other planetary surfaces as unmelted stone mixtures.

Meteorite impacts always bring considerable effects to Earth; the largest known one today is the Hoba iron meteorite, with a mass of 60 tons.

But what appears before their eyes now is a huge star, its quantity impossible to estimate; although it lacks the moon's enormous volume, a rough look already shows it to be terribly frightening.

If it were to collide with Earth at this speed, they could scarcely imagine what consequences would ensue!

'What should we do now? Quickly notify those below to take emergency shelter!'

'No, no, with such impact force, even underground shelters would be affected.'

'Are we just supposed to watch helplessly as this star crashes into us? Can't we use satellite weapons to deflect its trajectory?'

'Open your eyes wide and see clearly; for a star of this scale, no satellite weapon would have any effect.'

'Then what should we do now? At this speed, it will probably hit us within an hour.'

'First, don't panic; we need to hold steady. Now the blizzard cloud layer is over 3000 meters thick, so even if it truly fell to Earth, it would likely be greatly diminished.'

'You're being far too optimistic; even so, the harm would be terribly severe—do you think this is some meteorite fragment? This is a complete star!'

You should know that one of the causes of the dinosaurs' extinction, it is said, was an asteroid striking Earth, rupturing the crust and causing scorching magma from the core to erupt.

The danger of this scene is almost comparable to that of back then; if another magma eruption were to occur, the entire Earth would likely shift from an icy world to a sea of fire.

Just as everyone was in chaos, Hua Tiancheng's gaze locked firmly onto that slender figure, his brows knotted tightly together.

'No.'

'Haven't you noticed? The Demon Master is right in front of that star; it's impossible for him not to have noticed, and he also didn't give us any prior warning.'

Hua Tiancheng stared at the screen, muttering to himself, a flash of insight crossed his mind, and he immediately showed an expression of utter shock: 'Could this star have been brought by the Demon Master!'

The previously panicked crowd, upon hearing Hua Tiancheng's words, instantly showed astonished expressions; Li Jianzhong stammered, 'Hua, Bureau Chief Hua, what do you mean by that?'

Hua Tiancheng rubbed his forehead and said, word by word: 'This star was brought by the Demon Master!'

As if to confirm his words, after Longling's avatar approached the space station it stopped, and far behind it, the star trailing it also came to an abrupt halt.

Such a colossal object actually seemed to become somewhat obedient; whether it was an illusion or not, everyone felt the star seemed alive.

A green light flew into the space station, and the next second Longling's avatar's clear face appeared on the screen.

Even though Hua Tiancheng and the others had seen that face before, they were still shocked and stunned; through the space station's communication equipment, they could not only see the image clearly but also hear the sound.

The cold voice was like frost and snow, carrying a sense of chill, as if that figure stood right before them.

"You need not worry; this is the star I brought back, capable of keeping Earth safe."

Longling's avatar does not intend to explain much about the star beast; given the current situation of Daxia, knowing too much about cosmic affairs would be harmful.

Even though they had previously guessed, hearing Longling's avatar say this in person still left everyone's expressions somewhat dazed.

This star actually was brought back by the Demon Master!

The Demon Master went to wage war in the universe and even brought back a star!

Could it be the Demon Master's spoils of war?!

Everyone couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air; the shock and astonishment in their hearts were beyond words, while the space-related personnel nearby wore worried looks.

The Demon Master said this star would protect Earth, so they naturally had no doubt, but such a huge star so close to Earth would surely affect its tides and gravity, leading to unimaginable consequences.

As if sensing their worry, Longling's avatar continued: "Rest assured, this star is extremely special; it will not affect Earth at all, but will bring great benefits."

"You should also know that Earth lies within the Signal Tower's radiation range; once the tower is fully built, Earth may very well be relocated, but as long as this star exists, no one will dare act rashly."

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but open their mouths wide; the Demon Master had previously mentioned the Signal Tower, so they had heard of it before.

By communicating with the star beast, Longling's avatar could tell that although the beast was naive, it could also control its domain's power; it had simply been too lazy to manage it, allowing the star's power to spread and cover the surroundings, finally forming a forbidden zone.

Longling's avatar had previously instructed the star beast to strictly control its influence over Earth, so the star's power would not affect Earth; instead, it would form a protective layer around the surroundings, enveloping the entire solar system.

By then, the solar system will gradually become a universal forbidden zone, and Earth will survive within it, but because the star beast deliberately restrains its influence, Earth remains unaffected.

The worries of the space department will not come to pass.

Upon hearing Longling's avatar's words, everyone's suspended hearts finally settled; with the Demon Master's guarantee, they also needed no further worry.

……

Meanwhile.

The great demons of the Longyuan Mountain Range also seemed to sense something; the monsters sitting in meditation all opened their eyes, their beast pupils flickering with a hint of restless unease.

Their cultivation levels were profound, and beasts are naturally keen; although they could not visually detect the star beast's approach, they were the first to feel the changes in heaven and earth.

A terrifying force seemed to be approaching them, and the great demons anxiously gazed at the sky, not knowing where that force came from.

It seemed far away, yet actually quite near, and the great demons had never experienced such a peculiar sensation.

An uneasy great demon instinctively came to Ye Qin's side, about to speak, but Ye Qin spoke first:

"No need to worry; my avatar has returned from the universe and has even brought Earth a great gift."

Everything that happened in the universe where Longling's avatar resides is simultaneously transmitted to Ye Qin.

I never expected that while helping Qinghuan, I would by chance encounter the star beast, cause a havoc at the Heaven Sect's base, damage the Signal Tower, and even abduct the star beast back to Earth—truly a case of killing several birds with one stone.

With the star beast as a talisman, Ye Qin no longer needs to worry about Earth being relocated by the Heaven Sect; indeed, this trip to the universe was well worth it.

Upon hearing Ye Qin's words, the great demon's shock was no less than that of humans; could it be that the faint force they sensed actually came from the universe?!

The Northeast Tiger's bright, alert tiger eyes flashed with a hint of curiosity: "Master, what on earth is going on?!"

Ye Qin did not answer directly, but lifted his gaze to the void, a flash of verdant light crossing his eyes, making the other great demons even more curious.

Not only the Longyuan Mountain Range, but great demons elsewhere also sensed something; however, they soon received Ye Qin's message, indicating no need to worry, as these were all his arrangements.

At this moment, in the distant, profound void, the star beast continually approached Earth; the power fluctuations it generated caused the Milky Way to churn, stars to sparkle, and as it advanced, its tail traced several rainbow bands, as if a rainbow bridge were being erected across the universe.

Meanwhile, Longling's avatar flew out of the space station, continuing to guide the star beast's direction.

He floated in the void, his whole body erupting with green light, unleashing an unimaginable force from within.

"Roar!"

Just then, a dragon's roar echoed from Longyuan Mountain on Earth, reaching far beyond the planet.

Longling's avatar seemed to sense something, immediately sitting cross-legged, forming a hand seal, mobilizing the primordial power within his body, and his pupils turned into beast-like vertical slits.

If one looked closely, they would surely see two clusters of light rising in his pupils, growing ever brighter and dazzling, actually containing the sun and moon, with all the heavenly stars reduced to mere background.

His left eye was the sun, emitting supreme scorching light; his right eye was the moon, a thread of silver radiance flowing slowly.

Yin and yang intertwined, containing the great Dao of heaven and earth.

This was Ye Qin's former contemplation divine ability!

From Longyuan Mountain came a faint murmur, as if someone were constantly chanting scriptures, yet the content was obscure and incomprehensible; even the great demons of Longyuan Mountain present here did not know its true meaning.

Yet this sound, at a special frequency, reached beyond Earth.

Upon hearing it, the star beast trembled slightly, its entire body shaking, conveying its excited mood.

As Longling's avatar raised his hand, a huge hand manifested in the universe, reaching out to the distant star beast, lifting it up and guiding it to finally settle 304,000 kilometers from Earth, adjacent to the moon.

All celestial bodies within the solar system shuddered as one; the myriad stars fell into place!

"……"

The entire space department fell eerily silent; if they hadn't witnessed it themselves, they would have thought it was merely special effects.

No! Even if it were special effects, it would still surpass their imagination!

It was truly shocking.

Although they knew the Demon Master's divine abilities were vast, seeing this scene, they still couldn't help but stir up a tremendous uproar.

It seemed each of the Demon Master's actions could continually refresh their worldview; they always thought his strength was about this, but the fact was far beyond their imagination.

"The Demon Master truly is peerless under heaven."

"To receive the Demon Master's protection is indeed a blessing for Daxia and for Earth!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, their views clearly unanimous.

Beyond Earth, the star beast had completely settled; looking at the nearby planet, due to stormy snow clouds and cold currents, its appearance turned pure white and flawless.

This must be the so-called Earth, its new home.

"Moo——"

From the void came the call of an unknown creature, faint yet earth-shaking.

In the vacuum of space, sound cannot be transmitted, but the star beast's cry directly strikes the soul.

Longling's clone could feel the joyful emotion transmitted from the star beast; obviously, it was very satisfied with the place Ye Qin newly found for it. For the star beast, wherever it sleeps is the same.

But on Earth, Ye Qin's presence, combined with the monster power condensed from numerous monsters, makes that aura extremely obvious.

As a human cultivator, one cannot detect the abnormality, but the star beast can sense that familiar aura, which seems to share the same source as Longling's clone, thus it also shows a sense of familiarity and intimacy.

That is the monster aura permeating the entire Earth! (End of chapter)
