Chapter 304: The Power to Control Stars? The Existence of the

~14 min read 2,745 words

As several giant dragons descended toward the central palace and exchanged glances, anyone could see the excitement in each other's eyes.

Because they had been in this world for so long, they had been waiting for this day every moment without pause.

Their Father God finally needed them!

At the same time, Baichuan, who was far away at the edge of the land, upon seeing them gather, also split off his share of the Weitianzun Quanquan, dividing it into five equal portions.

Now, this authority, in the face of him who had already refined the Ancient Bell, had become extremely minor in function; if not for the fact that this authority still possessed one convenient feature—large-scale teleportation within the range of control,

he would have been prepared to leave it all entirely for his Juanzhu.

After putting away the portion he was temporarily using, Baichuan took several steps in succession and arrived before the Shilon and the others.

In an instant, at the highest point of the Julong Guodu, before the ancient Shilon and others, ripples began to spread across the void, and immediately afterward, a flame dragon with four claws that seemed to tread upon fire appeared before them.

A gentle and profound gaze, a pair of beautiful coral dragon horns extending from the majestic dragon head, a slender yet stronger dragon body, and Dragon Claws swaying with the inextinguishable Black Gold flame—this was a dragon species the Shilon had never seen before,

yet they recognized in an instant who this unfamiliar dragon was!

The rich and familiar aura upon it, the power that spontaneously leapt within them, and the gaze as gentle as if embracing all things in the world, all told them that this was their Father God!

Father God had become even more powerful!

In an instant, such a thought flashed through their minds, and immediately they felt even happier for Father God.

"Father God, these are the special creatures we have been searching for you all this time…"

As the eldest, the Shilon spoke; it glanced at its companions beside it, then carefully presented a bracelet-style storage space as if offering a treasure, and afterward gazed at Baichuan with some anxious expression.

Clearly, they had never forgotten the words Baichuan had originally spoken to them.

"Mm, well done."

Baichuan nodded, looked at the other Juanzhu around him who were also unconsciously holding their breath and looking at him expectantly, and replied with a word of praise.

To be honest, he had received too much information recently, and for a moment had almost forgotten the instructions he had originally given the Shilon and the others.

After taking back the storage space the Shilon had handed him, he briefly inspected it, then directly took out the authority he had already divided and handed it over, saying: "I have already taken this world; this authority represents the strongest power of this world. You may temporarily take it and use it. Once I finish sorting out the harvest, this authority may become invalid."

Hearing this, although the Shilon, Tianlong, and the others still did not fully understand the specific situation, they nevertheless responded in unison, and each in turn accepted a piece of metal.

After seeing that they had all accepted, Baichuan said again: "Alright, absorb it slowly. Once you have finished absorbing, one of you dragons must return to our wor… home!"

Saying this, Baichuan paused, then still changed his words—perhaps deep down he had long since regarded that world as another home of his own—"Then notify your other brothers and sisters. I have discovered that this world's potential is greater than that one's; perhaps in the future we will be moving…"

"Once the move is complete and we have thoroughly digested all the marvels of this world, perhaps we can truly step into the Xingkong!"

"Xingkong?"

"At, at last, has this day finally come?"

Hearing this, the four ancient dragons present were all shocked, and for a moment even overlooked the great matter of moving homes.

No one was more aware than they of what Father God's goal was; back in the days when they were still weak, they had seen Father God gazing up at the mysterious Xingkong overhead countless times, with an expression of wistfulness and curiosity.

They had not expected that Father God's goal was truly about to be achieved now!

The dragons, having reacted, also grew somewhat excited; nothing could excite a dragon more than personally helping their beloved Father God accomplish this goal!

Th-they could finally truly be of help!

"Yes, Father!"

……

Paying no heed to the dragons who had suddenly grown excited behind him, Baichuan, after leaving behind his specific arrangements in this regard, departed.

Hidden within the void, he cast a long, quiet glance back at his Juanzhu behind him, and also let out a sigh.

It had been too long since he had seen them; he had almost unknowingly forgotten how to get along with his Juanzhu,

Although deep down he had long since treated these little dragons not merely as Juanzhu, in his past life he had been an orphan, and in this life he had begun as a lone snake, so he fundamentally did not know what warmth was, nor how family members got along with one another,

Facing unfamiliar existences was still fine; no matter his temperament, he fundamentally did not need to consider anything. But facing Juanzhu who were loyal and devoted to him, reverent and loving, he, with his reserved temperament and few words, did not know how to act.

"Sigh…"

Letting out a long, quiet sigh, Baichuan did not dwell on it too much—let nature take its course.

All arrangements had been laid out; he could finally sort through all his harvest, and in passing bring the entire domain thoroughly under his control.

Previously he had crushed the other half of the Rhythm Fruit within Canglan; now the difficulty of comprehending the world's rhythms had also dropped considerably, so presumably it would allow him to complete the inscriptions even faster.

His dragon body swayed, and in a few strides he returned to the interior of the star ship and coiled himself up.

The next moment, accompanied by a flash of black lines in his eyes, the familiar panel popped up as well.

Immediately afterward, a rare humanoid figure and a giant ape entirely shrouded in dense Yin Energy leapt out, suspended within the gray, hazy space.

These were precisely the ability models of the Sun Tianzun he had previously obtained, and the ability model of Canglan.

He opened the ability models of the Sun Tianzun and Canglan in turn:

'Race: Sun Tianzun / Dragon Blood Lifeform'

'Abilities: Planet Tentacles LV5 (Internal), Dragon Blood LV5 (Internal/Incomplete), Forbidden Technique Gongshe LV4 (Transcendent), Energy Level 4 (Transcendent), Limit Release LV4 (Extreme), Soul Simulation LV3 (Limit-Break), Mo Li Shi Ying LV2…'

……

'Race: Tianyuan Zunzhe / Xuxu Demon Ape'

'Abilities: Star Beast Power LV5 (Internal/Incomplete), Planet Tentacles LV5 (Internal), Planet Tentacles LV5 (External/?), Yin Energy Manipulation LV5 (Internal), Yin Spirit Conversion LV4 (Transcendent), Spirit Shock LV4 (Transcendent), Gigantification LV4 (Transcendent)…'

In an instant, all the abilities of the two ability models were laid out before Baichuan without a single secret remaining; only the third ability in Canglan's model appeared dim.

Regarding the ability model of this world's strongest being—Canglan—Baichuan could only say: luxurious!

Extremely luxurious!!

Luxurious beyond his expectations!!!

The luxuriousness of his number of abilities—even the original Star-Devouring Worm could not compare!

Of course, in terms of quality, it might not compare.

A full four LV5-level abilities!

Although he had already obtained two of them, this did not affect the gold content of the other's bloodline in the slightest, because he had once again encountered an ability marked as Incomplete!

Moreover, compared to the incomplete Dragon Blood he had seen before, this one's grade was even higher!

It was also the Star Beast he had always been somewhat curious about!

The only thing that could compare to it was the power currently possessed by the Sun Heavenly Venerable — the source of all Dragon Blood from back then.

This harvest was truly far richer than he had expected!

The power of a Star Beast — no wonder the beings of this world called Mountain Giants could grow to several kilometers in size.

Just one incomplete ability could make their bodies unimaginably massive and turn them into the strongest creatures on the entire planet; from this one could imagine just how powerful a true Star Beast truly was!

Just an incomplete ability, yet it was already LV5! Should one say this is worthy of a true Star Beast's descendant?

And although the Dragon Blood on the Sun Heavenly Venerable's panel was incomplete, it too reached a staggering LV5!

This could almost clearly tell him that his previous guess was roughly correct — the source of Dragon Blood, that existence, was indeed a Star Beast, or a being of equivalent Star Beast level!

He was getting closer and closer to that mysterious figure.

And judging from the information on Canglan's ability model, the other party was indeed only one step away from achieving a true Planet Overlord — what a pity…

Baichuan tried to touch the third ability on the Heavenly Venerable's panel — 【Planet Tentacle LV5 (External)】 — but the information that appeared before him showed no response at all, as if this ability had never existed.

This was normal, because if this ability were normal, it would have long since combined internally and externally into a complete planet-level ability. The Rhythm Fruit had once been stripped from Canglan, which indeed affected His power and hindered His breakthrough.

However, Baichuan was not too disappointed, because the source of this ability was that mysterious stance on the planet, which meant that even if he did not evolve it in one step, he could still inscribe and condense it step by step on his own.

It was time to understand the specific effects of the abilities. Thinking of this, Baichuan directly selected those brand-new abilities he was extremely curious about:

【Star Beast Power: The power from a certain unknown Star Beast, which can allow the ability host to more easily accept ** power, continuously transform their own life level, and obtain various enhancements. Ability incomplete, lost the ability to accept ** power, only remaining: aptitude enhancement, life force (lifespan) enhancement, easier integration of various energies, and lifespan extension.】

【Forbidden Technique Gongshe: A marvelous fusion of flesh and metal, which can cause a small portion of flesh to exhibit metallic properties, allowing flesh to ignore the repulsion of metal.】

【Limit Release: The ability host can consume life force to completely release all their own limits, ignite all of their energy, and achieve a complete Burst.】

【Yin Spirit Transfer…】

……

Having read through all the ability explanations in order, Baichuan frowned slightly as he recalled the Sun Heavenly Venerable's final move from back then.

That power that seemed to completely transform himself into a star was apparently not within this ability model. He was very greedy for that star-like power, especially since he was about to step into the Xingkong.

Baichuan pondered for a while, suddenly thought of something, directly exited this space, and took out the Sun Heavenly Venerable's corpse.

"Sizzle sizzle——"

Sparks kept flying everywhere. Even though it had been dead for some time, the Sun Heavenly Venerable's corpse showed not a trace of decay.

He directly pried open the chest and heart area of this corpse, and what appeared before his eyes was a precise, ingenious engine radiating high-energy — or perhaps a power furnace?

He carefully hooked it out with one claw. It was a rather small, heart-like glowing object, and the energy properties occasionally emanating from it were precisely the stellar aura he had sensed back then.

It seemed he now understood what that power was.

Under the operation of several special abilities, the energy within this technological crystallization — the Sun Furnace? — was completely ignited.

In the end, it presented the same scene as when he had fought it. Back then, wrapped in dense stellar power, he had already transformed into a small sun.

After understanding this point, Baichuan's first thought was: could he use biological means to actively evolve such an energy furnace, thereby completely mastering this stellar power?

Baichuan found this idea feasible, because he himself possessed various abilities that could guide biological flesh-and-blood bodies to evolve in a certain direction, such as the Assimilation ability of the Star-Devouring Worm — as long as the environment was altered,

Or by understanding the principles of Assimilation, such as using the Characteristic of absorbing mutated Light Points from the Blood Worm ability to modify oneself, all possessed this kind of power.

Even if these were too difficult, he could, just like when he had once made minor adjustments to Dragon Claw, enter an energy-form posture and slowly adjust.

All sorts of plans were feasible.

Besides, among the abilities currently appearing in the model, there was not only the ability to completely ignite and Burst this power, but also the ability to give flesh a metallic nature —

The former could allow him to truly unleash this power.

The latter could allow his flesh-and-blood body to truly withstand the bombardment of this high-energy energy, so that it would not collapse from material reasons the moment it was born.

Then the only thing currently troubling him was analyzing all the structures of this energy furnace and building it…

But was this difficult?

It was indeed difficult, but not without possibility of realization.

In fact, he could do far more than just this. The appearance of these abilities could even make many of his past ideas a reality!

At this moment, because of this idea, a storm of thought also swept through Baichuan's mind.

If this plan truly worked, then not only could this energy furnace be born, he could even transform himself into a Super Weapon battery — for example, creating that super cannon from the ship hull on his body, further enhancing its power, and making it his special Dragon Breath — the Planet-Destroying Cannon?

At that time, one shot one planet. So what if his body was small and his life level low? Even Star Beasts would flee at the sight of him!

Moreover, afterward he would no longer fear the group tactics of technological civilizations, nor feel that technological civilizations were of little use to him, avoiding them in advance upon sight.

With his numerous split bodies, he could completely plunder all the weapon crystallizations of technological civilizations, record all their structures, and present them in biological flesh form!

He himself was a top-tier civilized biological weapon!

At that time, the only thing that might limit him would be energy.

In an instant, Baichuan felt his thinking had completely opened up!

He felt that he was no longer confused about the vast Xingkong, no longer needing to carefully avoid the growth of various civilizations, and could completely treat every existence in his field of vision as nourishment to be digested!

He was going to be even more terrifying and fearsome than the Star-Devouring Worm!

After all, the Star-Devouring Worm only made the strong of cultivation-side civilizations afraid — but him?

Not only could he plunder all the achievements of civilizations where cultivation-side might belonged to oneself, now he could also utilize the crystallization of wisdom from the technological side!

As long as he got through the initial accumulation phase, what awaited him would be sweeping across the Xingkong!

This ability was simply a perfect match made in heaven for him!

He would become the enemy of all things! Every living creature would tremble at the mere mention of his name!

The more he thought about it, the more excited Baichuan became. He could no longer hold back and directly returned to the panel space once again.

The familiar hazy gray space appeared once more.

After a few taps, he reopened those two ability models, selected six abilities from them in order, and pulled them into his own ability model.

Then he firmly clicked "Confirm!"

He could hardly wait any longer!

Bring it on!

Accompanied by the familiar wave of drowsiness, he once again sank into the deepest level of sleep.

The familiar, viscous mysterious liquid slowly welled up, completely engulfing him and transforming him into a giant egg.

The evolution had begun!
