Chapter 1193: The Star Fall Continent and the Star-Gazing Tower

Inside Hiss Luo's barrier, the star-gazing mirror of the Astrological Tower had been adjusted long ago, focusing on a specific location indicated by Negris.

The barrier blocked out all surrounding light, leaving only the direction pointed to by the star-gazing mirror; with the interference of various stray lights reduced, the clarity of the star-gazing mirror had been greatly improved.

Hiss Luo fiddled with the star-gazing mirror, while inside the tower, a lich was wandering around with great interest, observing the various pieces of equipment that were vastly different from those in this world, occasionally letting out exclamations of wonder.

Every time the lich let out an exclamation, Hiss Luo would turn his head and say proudly, "Just some small trinkets, how about it? Not bad, right?"

While he was humble with his words, he was actually feeling incredibly satisfied inside; for an angler who had stored a room full of equipment, what was the most satisfying moment?

Besides the moment of hooking a big fish, the most satisfying thing was actually showing off the equipment to another knowledgeable angler and receiving rounds of praise—it had to be the knowledgeable kind, as the admiration of a novice wasn't satisfying enough.

However, astrology was a profession with an extremely high barrier to entry for equipment; ordinary people didn't even know what astrological equipment looked like, and if it were placed in front of them, they wouldn't know how to use it.

Although Negris knew quite a bit, it wasn't an "angler" and didn't care for this equipment at all, so Hiss Luo didn't have much desire to show off.

Yet now, a knowledgeable astrology master had arrived, and one who had come out of the Boundless Great Void.

Being knowledgeable, but due to environmental limitations, having "never caught any big fish"—this was simply like an experienced angler who had seen great rivers and fought many battles meeting an old angler who had a high level of skill but had always hung around small ditches; as soon as he showed off, the other person understood, and then sighed with regret about why they hadn't seen this before, hitting the satisfaction point at every turn.

Over these two days, Hiss Luo had already had many exchanges with the other party and knew their level, so being able to harvest the other party's exclamations made him feel incredibly satisfied.

"What do you mean 'not bad'?! Such a large piece of natural fluorite, with such high purity—you're just throwing it on the shelf to gather dust instead of grinding it into the lens assembly? It's truly a waste. Do you know how much the clarity of the astrological mirror could be improved by its suppression of chromatic aberration?" The lich raised his volume and said with heartbreak.

"Hehe, it is indeed a waste, but I have other methods to suppress chromatic aberration, so I don't need it for now," Hiss Luo said modestly, but he was already feeling incredibly satisfied inside.

This was the level of satisfaction that only a knowledgeable person could have; if it were someone who didn't know better, seeing a piece of unpolished, broken stone, they wouldn't even look at it a second time, let alone know its function.

Showing off in front of someone who doesn't know better is like playing the lute for a minotaur—a real buzzkill.

"That's true, you have too many good things here; the material wealth of the outside world is truly immense. If I had known, I would have moved the Astrology Academy out as well," the lich said.

"Academy? You have an astrology academy? Is it large?" Hiss Luo asked.

"Large? I suppose it's quite large. My academy has hundreds of thousands of people; although it's named a 'Kingdom,' it's actually just a large magic academy. I am the principal, but astrology is just my personal interest. There are over a thousand students who study astrology with me in addition to practicing magic, so in terms of astrology alone, it's not considered very large," the lich explained.

Speaking of which, everyone should know who the lich is; it is precisely the Blue Star, Deity Diluni.

While Ang was scouring everywhere for white crystals to reincarnate everyone, Du Luo Ken was also doing the same thing, just with a different method of implementation.

He used the lich phylactery method to allow everyone to obtain bodies; all that was needed was a lich phylactery and a corpse.

The corpse didn't even need to be fresh; burying it for three to five days, half a month, or seven or eight years was all fine, as long as it hadn't completely rotted away. With a few Cleansing Spells, it could grow back.

Many professions didn't require strong bodies, such as mages; Deity Diluni was a mage, and only a powerful mental force was needed.

The Star God half-body condensed from shrunken white crystals, because it lacked the ability to shift stars, made no qualitative difference to a mage.

Therefore, in order to satisfy the needs of more people, Du Luo Ken began to refine lich phylacteries in batches, and Deity Diluni was reincarnated through a lich phylactery.

Even for shrunken white crystals, the quantity was limited, but in Ang's dimensional world, life was endless.

Once Deity Diluni was reincarnated, he thought about reincarnating his thousand-plus astrology students as well; Du Luo Ken also wanted to reincarnate those alchemists of the Dulaite family. Once the dead star Aobenli was reincarnated, believe it or not, she would resurrect the entire Star Academy?

Phylacteries better compensated for the deficiency in the number of white crystals, making them most suitable for those professions that didn't require physical strength...

Uh, even a lich's body could be looked down upon for not being sturdy.

Hundreds of thousands? A thousand-plus? Principal? Hiss Luo felt even more satisfied inside; being able to make a person of this level exclaim brought an even stronger sense of satisfaction, so he asked, "Is the material wealth outside very abundant? Is the material in the Boundless Great Void very scarce?"

Deity Diluni smiled bitterly, "I originally thought it wasn't scarce. The things I know, the Lord can get, and the quantity won't be small either. But there are many things here that I don't recognize, and even for the ones I do recognize, like fluorite—such a large and pure natural fluorite—I wouldn't even dare to dream of it. If I could have thought of it, I would have asked the Lord to help me make one long ago."

"The Lord can still make this?" Hiss Luo was a bit surprised; he had joined the team for too short a time and didn't know the function of the Chaos Mist, but he noted it down in his heart and turned to ask, "Are there any things you haven't seen?"

Deity Diluni pointed to some black fragments, "I haven't seen this; I feel like it's absorbing me."

"Oh, that's just a fragment of a secondary source corpse. It carries some power of spatial origin on it, which will change the direction of gravity in the surroundings," Hiss Luo said.

"Uh... secondary source? Corpse? Then what about this?" Deity Diluni pointed to a piece of black metal and asked.

"Heavy Gold, the heaviest metal in the pan-plane, with an extremely high density."

"What about this? Why are the joints of this black crystal bone made of ordinary white bone?" Deity Diluni asked.

"This isn't a black crystal bone, but a type of craft—crystal plating craft. Uh, this is a craft invented by the Lord. Haven't you seen it? I asked the Lord to help me plate the lenses of the astrological mirror. This is also my secret method for suppressing chromatic aberration; plating different films can improve the different optical properties of the lenses," Hiss Luo said, taking the opportunity to reveal why he didn't use fluorite.

"Crystal plating? I haven't seen it; it might have been invented after the Lord came here. Then what about these? There are words on them; what is written?" Deity Diluni asked.

"Oh, these are some ancient inscriptions. I can't quite understand the words on them, but these two characters should be 'Feilie'. I believe they are inscriptions related to Emperor Feilie. Speaking of these inscriptions, I heard that the wise man Ursman likes to collect various ancient inscriptions; I'll find him later to see what is written on them."

Speaking of this, Hiss Luo saw something moving in the astrological mirror, immediately leaned his eyes in, and then shouted excitedly, "It's here, it's here! Notify the Lord; something is coming over in that place."

Deity Diluni immediately connected to the soul network and reported the news to Ang; this was also the reason he appeared here. Now the range they needed to communicate was too large, exceeding the distance of information transmission by teleportation arrays, so the soul network was more practical.
