Chapter 1512: Fortunate to be Ang's Subjects

~7 min read 1,239 words

"I don't know. Lady Lania told us to search this way, so we search this way. If we find it, we report to Lady Lania; if we don't find it, we report to Lady Lania. Why talk so much?" the other Star-Born said impatiently.

"Ah? We report to Lady Lania either way? Then what's the difference?" the first Star-Born asked, bewildered.

The other Star-Born spread their hands: "There is no difference. Because there is no difference, everything you say is nonsense. Hurry up and finish so we can go back and report."

After saying this, they Star-Shifted forward again and soon vanished.

Everyone looked at each other, an identical thought crossing their minds: *That was far too careless... *

It was indeed far too careless. Luo Mu Luo Er's main body was a massive lump right there. Admittedly, the black mist had hidden all of Luo Mu Luo Er's fluctuations, making it effectively transparent to these Star-Born.

Ang was only able to discover this black mist because he could "weigh" it.

Although they couldn't see it, such a massive lump was right there. If they had searched carefully, even if they couldn't see it, they would have bumped into it, right?

They hadn't expected the other side to be so perfunctory. Searching for something while Star-Shifting was essentially leaving it to fate.

"They just mentioned Lania? Why does that sound so familiar? Mei Lania? The Lania Branch? Is this someone sent by the Lord of the Lania Branch to search for the World-Boundary Gate? How did he know there was a World-Boundary Gate here? Mei Lania, come here," Negris shouted indignantly.

Mei Lania drifted over, looking confused. He couldn't pass through the triangular gap; it was too small, and he didn't dare share Ang's vision, so naturally, he didn't know what was happening outside. Being summoned by Negris's angry shout left him bewildered.

"Did you leak the news about the World-Boundary Gate? Why would Lania send people here to search for it?" Negris demanded.

Mei Lania asked in surprise, "Lady Lania sent people here to search for the World-Boundary Gate? This kind of thing doesn't need me to leak it. Didn't he send us in through the World-Boundary Gate on Ge Mai Zi Bao's side? From that World-Boundary Gate on Ge Mai Zi Bao's side, one can connect to the World-Boundary Gate here through the Boundless Land, and calculate the approximate coordinates."

"You mean Lania calculated the coordinates of the World-Boundary Gate here from the one on Ge Mai Zi Bao's side? Is that even possible?" Anthony asked, shocked.

"It should be possible. As long as the other party possesses a detailed star map and detailed information about both worlds, it is theoretically possible to calculate the approximate location of the corresponding gate in the outside world using the coordinates of the two World-Boundary Gates in the Boundless Land."

"As long as there is an approximate location, searching for a Branch Lord is just a matter of manpower. Star-Born work in pairs; they can search a vast area very quickly."

What they hadn't expected was that this World-Boundary Gate also had a Branch Lord guarding it, and the search personnel he sent were so perfunctory.

"Lania has designs on this World-Boundary Gate of ours. What should we do?" Negris asked.

"What should we do? Obviously, kill them. Lania should stay in his own branch instead of running over here to cause trouble for me. Kill these Star-Born so he doesn't think there's no one here," Luo Mu Luo Er said.

Anthony asked, "Is this your territory?"

"Yes, this is my territory. According to convention, you can call this the Luo Mu Branch," Luo Mu Luo Er replied.

Anthony asked, "According to convention, how do you handle this kind of cross-border searching behavior? Do you just kill them directly?"

Luo Mu Luo Er thought for a moment and shook his head: "Usually not. I generally don't bother with the normal coming and going of Star-Born, but Star-Gods cannot cross borders. If it were a Star-God, they would have to enter another branch as an avatar; otherwise, it would invite a gang-beating from everyone."

Having said this, Luo Mu Luo Er paused, then added: "But these two Star-Born are searching for the World-Boundary Gate. Regardless of whether they are Star-Born or Star-Gods, kill them all."

"Let's put that aside for a moment. The two branches should be very far apart, right? I heard from Mei Lania that because the two branches are so far apart, the fastest way to travel is actually through the World-Boundary Gate, transiting through the Boundless Land. Is that true?" Anthony asked.

"Yes, but that was a very, very long time ago," Luo Mu Luo Er said.

"Since they are so far apart, how did these Star-Born get here?" Anthony asked.

Luo Mu Luo Er was stunned for a moment, then said: "The distance is far for us Star-Gods, but Star-Born are very fast. As long as their Star-God pushes them from behind, they can instantly cross a great distance."

"Star-Gods can push Star-Born to accelerate? How is that done?" Anthony asked, surprised.

Luo Mu Luo Er said: "By gazing at them."

"Gazing at them?" Anthony looked back at Ang. He wasn't a Star-God, so he didn't understand what this meant, nor did he know if Ang could do it.

Ang nodded.

Anthony nodded. Since Ang could do it, that was fine. In the future, Star-Born travel could be accelerated by the gaze of a Star-God, making it even more convenient to go wherever they wanted.

"Going is fine, but what about returning? How do they return? Can they also use a Star-God's gaze to accelerate?" Anthony asked.

Luo Mu Luo Er said: "Why return? Why would they need to return? They don't need to return."

"They don't return? But don't Star-Born die if they leave their main star for too long?" Negris asked, surprised.

Star-Born needed to bathe in the divinity of their main star from time to time. If they didn't make contact for a long time, they would die.

Luo Mu Luo Er was stunned for a long time before asking in confusion: "They die, so what? Is that a problem?"

Dying a few Star-Born—was that something worth making a fuss about?

Anthony, Negris, and the others took a deep breath, feeling immensely fortunate that they were Ang's subjects.

"Fine, anyway, they can't go back. Can we just..." Before Anthony could finish his sentence, he heard the King's shout coming from the rift:

"The barrier is open? Let me out, let me out! Ang, let me out!"

"Not going back? But if Star Descendants leave their main star for too long, won't they die?" Negris was shocked.

Star Descendants need to bathe in the divine light of the main star from time to time. If they don't contact for a long time, Star Descendants will die.

Lomurol was stunned for a good while before saying puzzledly: "Die if they die, what's the problem?"

Just die some Star Descendants, is it something that needs to be made a fuss about?

Anthony and Negris and others took a deep breath, feeling incomparably fortunate in their hearts that they were Ang's subjects.

"Fine, anyway they can't go back, can we suddenly... them" Anthony hadn't finished speaking when he heard the King's shout from the rift:

"The barrier opened? Let me out, let me out, Ang, let me out."
