Chapter 1274

~8 min read 1,430 words

White crystals have now become the foundation for the reincarnation of Ang's system. The Star God body it forms is sturdy, powerful, and highly adaptable, capable of surviving in the void without air, extreme temperatures, and even in the high temperatures of thousands of degrees on the surface of a God Star.

If it were the flesh-and-blood body of the past, even a Truth Mage like Diluni would not be able to survive in the void for a long time, let alone on the surface of a God Star.

Therefore, even if Ang's main body came here, he did not intend to take out the people in the dimensional space directly, but chose to reincarnate them as Starborn, allowing them to possess stronger survival capabilities.

However, the number of white crystals is still too small. Hundreds of white crystals were dug out in the dimension of the Starborn Lord, but they were all of the kind that cannot perform Star Shift. Ang only has five or six white crystals in his hand that can perform Star Shift, which have already been distributed, resulting in neither Anthony nor Negris having the Star Shift ability.

If one wants white crystals with Star Shift ability, the fastest way is to slaughter a few Starborn with Star Shift ability. However, this is not a 100% probability, because some Starborn cannot perform Star Shift either, such as the low-rank Joint-Bamboo Insect Monsters.

The vast majority of Starborn below the Sky Rank cannot perform Star Shift. It is also a troublesome matter to screen out individuals who can perform Star Shift from them.

Now, unexpectedly, a third way to obtain white crystals has been found? And it was dug from the trunk of the World Tree? As soon as Ang heard this, he couldn't hold back and hurriedly Soul-Shifted to Anthony's location.

With Ang present, tracking Olite became very easy. Ang didn't need to get too close to the other party at all. Just by distinguishing the spatial distortion caused by the other party's form, he could distinguish the other party's position.

Not afraid of losing them and not afraid of being discovered by the other party, it was easy. Anthony and the others even had the leisure to chat: "Is it harvesting white crystals? It pauses at every place. In some places, the pause is long, and in some places, the pause is short. Could it be digging while looking?"

Lightning asked suspiciously: "Listening to you say this, why does it feel like picking mushrooms?"

"White crystals forming on the World Tree is strange in itself. Do white crystals form on little saplings?" Negris asked.

Ang shook his head.

"What about the little tree people? What about the little fire people? Where did you throw them? Find it and ask," Negris glanced at the top of Lu Se's head and asked.

Lu Se said: "They were picked up by the little angel. I don't dare to take them everywhere. It's very easy to be recognized."

While they were talking, Ang also quietly arrived at the position where Olite stayed last time. He saw that a hole had been dug out in that place, a very, very small hole, about the size of a fist, which was inconspicuous on the trunk of the World Tree.

On the trunk of the World Tree, any piece of bark is full of gullies, and each gully is equivalent to a huge ocean trench on the main plane. Similar gullies are all over the whole giant tree. Finding a fist-sized place in such a gully is simply as difficult as ascending to heaven.

If Ang hadn't been following, it would have been impossible to discover that it had stayed here, and even more impossible to discover this plain little hole. This dug-out hole was very rough and had no neat cross-section.

After a while, Olite moved to a new position. Ang followed the memory to the position where it just paused and discovered another dug-out hole. The hole was also very rough, no different from the previous one.

Following it to move like this for six or seven times, finally, at the bottom of the eighth hole, a flat polygonal cross-section was discovered.

"It seems that it dug out a white crystal here. Look at these flat cross-sections, don't they look like a crystal was once embedded and now it has been dug out? It really can find white crystals," Negris said.

Anthony was also very shocked: "What method does it rely on to discover finger-sized white crystals in such complex terrain? Is it relying on smell or energy force field? Or is there some special change in the trunk?"

Negris recalled and didn't find any common points in the previous eight collection points, so he could only say: "Why does it harvest so many white crystals? Could it be that it wants to harvest eighty or a hundred and trade with us?"

Anthony was stunned for a moment and said: "Don't say it, there really is this possibility. What is the function of white crystals?"

"Can upgrade us," Negris responded without knowing why.

"Yes, can upgrade us, but for them? What is the function?" Anthony asked.

"For them? Can also upgrade, right?" Negris thought of Gangpasa and other Joint-Bamboo Insect Monsters, but immediately realized their status.

These low-level Starborn are equivalent to slaves here, only worthy of being thrown into the slave market as pack animals, or even bought back by other high-level Starborn to be eaten. Who would use white crystals to upgrade them?

This Olite clearly has the ability to find white crystals, but only has one white crystal in its hand. Obviously, it didn't think these white crystals had any value. Now that it suddenly ran over to dig white crystals attentively, it is very likely that it is really digging for them.

After all, it was said at the time that eighty or a hundred were needed. Since the other party couldn't be caught, trading with white crystals that can be collected is not a choice. After all, compared to eighty or a hundred white crystals, pleasing the Tree God is more important. Who knows what kind of reward the Tree God will give?

However, collecting white crystals is not an easy thing. Out of ten holes dug, nine and a half are likely to be empty. After three or four days, Olite may have only dug three or four white crystals. If it really wants to dig eighty or a hundred, it may take three or four months.

"This is too slow. Don't wait until Kadiz gets the Tree God's reward, and the quantity hasn't been dug enough here. That would be a waste. By the way, if it really digs enough white crystals, do we really give it the Fallen Power? Then what about Kadiz?" Negris said.

"Uh, Lord Negris, what I said at the time was 'clues', not Fallen Power. Don't get it wrong," Anthony hurriedly denied.

Negris was stunned for a while and scolded: "You treacherous merchant."

"If you think this is not good, then find something else that can pollute energy and give it to it, such as baptism water, let it be contaminated with holy breath? Or..."

Just as Anthony said this, Ang suddenly shrank to the side, and everyone immediately realized that something had happened and hurriedly shut up. At the same time, the little sapling on Ang's head quickly stretched out, leaned against the trunk of the God Tree beside it, and extended, wrapping Ang and everyone who had shrunk into a ball inside.

Ang Soul-Shifted over, not projected over, and the body was not that Star Flame body, so the little sapling was on his head. With such a cover, it immediately merged with the World Tree.

Not long after hiding, an old vine slowly stretched up from below, arched its front end like a snake, and silently watched Olite's direction.

After staring for a while, it moved toward Olite's direction. Not long after, a scream came from that direction, and then it returned to calm.

The old vine slowly shrank back to the bottom. After a while, Ang moved, removed the disguise, and drifted toward Olite's direction.

Arriving at the location of the scream, there was no trace of Olite, only a few white crystals scattered in the gully, and the largest one was shattered into seven or eight pieces.

Negris couldn't help but click his tongue. What is this old vine? A Void-level Starborn died so easily in its hands?
