Chapter 1483: A Chance to Follow Him

The Guman Snake was stunned, its consciousness a blank slate. This was a huge misunderstanding. It had thought the Star-Shifter, its final reliance, the Star-Shifter it had gone to invite even at the cost of giving up parasitism, was not coming to eliminate the person who could manufacture a body of increment, but to protect him?

It had thought it invited a helper, and it was indeed a helper, but for the other side. This was truly laughable: Why hadn't it thought to ask? Fortunately, the other side hadn't admitted they manufactured a body of increment.

Thinking of this, the Guman Snake said: "They aren't the ones who manufactured the body of increment. Didn't they just deny it? But they robbed me of my Divine Star. Help me, kill them, and let me get my things back."

The Star-Shifter swept over it and said: "I am looking for the person who can manufacture a body of increment. I will not harm anyone who has this possibility. Even if he can't manufacture it now, perhaps he can later? I cannot give up this hope."

He swept over the Guman Snake again and added: "And you cannot destroy my hope."

Hope? The person who can manufacture a body of increment is actually his hope? The Guman Snake asked stutteringly: "Why are you looking for the person who can manufacture a body of increment? Why didn't you look before? You have been asleep for so long; has no one who could manufacture a body of increment been born during this time?"

"Then did you discover anyone? And you didn't wake me up?" A Star Flame erupted from a crack in the ground and lashed the Guman Snake.

"No, no, no, I didn't discover anyone, I haven't seen anyone." The Guman Snake coiled into a ball, blocking the lash of the Star Flame.

"The person who can manufacture a body of increment will not disappear so easily. If he was born during my slumber, he would still be alive when I woke up. But if I hadn't awakened, I would probably have turned into an Azure Divine Star by now," the Star-Shifter said.

Hearing this, the Guman Snake asked in confusion: "Since he won't disappear so easily, why does he need your protection?"

The Star-Shifter said lightly: "I didn't say he needs my protection. I only said I am looking for him to protect him."

The Guman Snake understood. It turns out this 'protection' the Star-Shifter speaks of is just what he 'wants'; others might not necessarily need it.

While the Star-Shifter and the Guman Snake were talking, the Star-Shifter's main body had already stopped, stopping at a distance where intent could not reach. This was a safe distance.

At the same time the main body stopped, the avatar also stopped, just staying blankly in place.

"What is he doing? Why isn't he moving?" Anthony and the others could not see his main body; they were just puzzled why he had stopped.

Ang said: "He, main body, stopped."

"The main body stopped too? Could it be that he discovered our intent?" Nai Nai Ge Li Si was shocked. They were intercepting the Star-Shifter here, firstly because they didn't want him to approach the Divine Star; the consequences of two large-mass Divine Stars approaching each other were very serious.

Secondly, they wanted to take advantage of the fact that the seal on his hard shell hadn't been lifted to see if they could injure him. When unsealed, he was at his weakest.

But before Ang could figure out his weakness, he had actually stopped?

"Star-Shifter, did you see something? Why did you stop?" Anthony asked hurriedly.

The Star-Shifter explained: "I came here because the Guman Snake told me someone here could manufacture a body of increment. But I discovered there isn't."

Anthony frowned and asked: "Just for the body of increment?"

"No, no, it's the person who 'manufactures' the body of increment," the Star-Shifter said.

"Is there a difference? If I cultivate to become a Lord of Stars myself and become a body of increment, am I not a person who manufactures a body of increment?" Anthony asked.

The Star-Shifter said: "No. You are a body of increment; you are not 'manufacturing' a body of increment. Only someone who can bestow increment upon others can manufacture a body of increment."

"Bestow? Doesn't this count as bestowing?" Anthony pointed at the little zombie, seemingly determined to find evidence of 'manufacturing' a body of increment, a stance completely different from his flat denial just a moment ago.

The Star-Shifter said: "No, this is his increment, not his increment."

The two 'his' referred to different people.

Anthony said: "That is to say, he must bestow increment upon me, and then I generate an increment cycle myself, only then does it count as 'manufacturing' a body of increment, is that it?"

The Star-Shifter said: "Yes, that is it."

"Why are you looking for the person who can manufacture a body of increment?" Anthony asked curiously.

This Star-Shifter was too cooperative and seemed to have no malice. This could be seen from the fact that he was attacked by the Monarch and the little angel; he didn't choose to clash head-on, which would have been easier to inflict damage, but retreated first and then projected over. Such avoidance was very damaging to his prestige.

After stopping, he answered every question. This made Anthony realize something quickly: this Star-Shifter's intentions might be different from what they thought.

The Star-Shifter's name was very loud; it was they who detonated all the Divine Stars in the Boundless Great Void, so everyone naturally assumed he was here for the Divine Stars. They had never thought, what if he wasn't?

It seemed this 'if' had really happened. He was here for the person who could manufacture a body of increment. Why? Why was the person who could manufacture a body of increment more attractive to this Star-Shifter than the Divine Stars?

Anthony quickly adjusted his mindset. He couldn't assume the Star-Shifter was an enemy. Even if he was here for the person who could manufacture a body of increment, what if he wasn't here as an enemy?

The Star-Shifter swept over Anthony deeply and asked: "Do you not know what being able to manufacture a body of increment represents?"

"What does it represent?" Anthony really didn't know and asked in astonishment.

The Star-Shifter said: "When you can manufacture a body of increment, you will know."

Although the Star-Shifter didn't answer this question, his attitude had no malice. Anthony asked: "If you encounter the person who can manufacture a body of increment, what do you intend to do to him?"

"I hope to get a chance to follow him," the Star-Shifter said solemnly. His attitude was much better than toward the Guman Snake. After all, there were four bodies of increment here with Ang, and it was really possible they mastered the ability to manufacture a body of increment.

Anthony gasped. Follow? Hope to get a chance to follow? Wasn't this putting himself in a weak position directly?

He was a Star-Shifter, after all. How could he be as humble as a swordsman hoping to get a chance to follow a mage?

Just at this moment, the Star-Shifter's expression suddenly changed, becoming very vigilant.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Anthony asked.

"A Dark Star avatar is attacking me. Is he one of yours?" the Star-Shifter asked.

"One? It might be one of ours. We have three Dark Star avatars in front," Anthony said.

Those three Dark Star avatars that didn't leave the Boundless Great Void were chasing the Gamezburg's avatar in front. Could it be that they had returned to attack the Star-Shifter?

"Only one. He says his name is Gamezburg," the Star-Shifter said.

Anthony, Nai Nai Ge Li Si, and the others exchanged glances, their expressions becoming strange. ===== CHAPTER 1484 =====
