Chapter 1606

~5 min read 993 words

Boundless expanse, gazing ahead at the empty void, the Sixth Divine Star trembled and murmured: "Truly a boundless expanse, I have finally entered it."

"Done looking? Offer up your soul." Anthony emerged from somewhere unknown, speaking lightly.

."

Anthony shook his head: "Following our agreed steps, some questions need to be asked of you. I will give you a chance to report. This is a contract I signed in my lord's name—I will not violate it."

The Sixth Divine Star reluctantly offered its consciousness imprint, having just severed its consciousness link with Lania not long ago, now needing to give it to another.

Anthony offered the consciousness imprint to Ange, then immediately asked: "You know the Fifth Divine Star, right?"

The Sixth Divine Star's heart tightened, about to deny, but Anthony said: "Indeed, my lord said you were nervous."

The Sixth Divine Star froze, then recalled it had already offered its consciousness imprint—the other could sense his psychological shifts, even directly read his memories; any denial would be meaningless.

Realizing this, the Sixth Divine Star ceased resistance, having mentally prepared beforehand, merely momentarily unadjusted.

"Yes, I know the Fifth Divine Star." The Sixth Divine Star said.

"Among the Divine Stars participating in the information blind box game that day, besides the Fifth Divine Star, who else do you know?" Anthony asked.

The Sixth Divine Star said: "No one."

Anthony asked: "Then who sent you to infiltrate the information blind box game together?"

The Sixth Divine Star hesitated.

Anthony immediately warned: "Don't force me to have my lord search your memories—your star soul is strong enough to endure many soul searches, even simultaneous questioning and searching, absolutely capable of draining all your secrets."

The Sixth Divine Star's heart tightened, imagining his consciousness being pried open—Anthony asking while his consciousness flashed through the questions, he couldn't help but shudder and say: "It was Lania."

Anthony's face flickered with surprise: "Lania? Didn't you say he was your enemy? Turns out you're allies—I hadn't imagined this possibility, excellent."

The Sixth Divine Star was dazed: Excellent? Is this good?

Anthony seemed to read his thought, smiling: "I originally found this void too dull—you Divine Stars are straightforward, no scheming, too boring. I underestimated you—this void is becoming interesting."

This is Anthony's true thought: since entering the void, Ange's opponents have become the Azure Divine Star, Gammez Fortress, Luomurol—his room to maneuver has shrunk, making it too dull.

Now Lania has made an unexpected arrangement—partly due to his underestimating these Divine Stars, but also proving Lania seems a worthy opponent, instantly boosting Anthony's interest.

The Sixth Divine Star glanced at him bewildered, unable to comprehend why a stronger enemy brings joy.

Next, Anthony asked many questions—he went to such lengths, risking to bring the Sixth Divine Star in, all for the information.

In the Sixth Divine Star's answers, Anthony gradually clarified Lania's faction's situation.

Lania's faction appears to be the most unified region in the void—entirely unified under Lania, all Divine Stars under his leadership jointly resisting the incursions of spacetime ancient dragons and extradimensional wraiths.

They also dispatch star progeny and dark stars in the names of various Divine Stars throughout the void, gathering vast amounts of intelligence and messages.

"We mainly collect two types of intelligence: one, spacetime ancient dragon and extradimensional wraith location data; two, messages on permanently escaping danger, such as entering the boundless expanse, methods to destroy spacetime ancient dragons and extradimensional wraiths." The Sixth Divine Star said.

"Oh? Is there any way to destroy them?" Anthony asked.

The Sixth Divine Star said: "I don't know—maybe yes, maybe no. Only Lania knows these things. I only know extradimensional wraiths are a weapon, wielded by your kind, spirit guides."

"Heh, good thing there isn't—otherwise we spirit guides would lose our most powerful weapon." Anthony said.

The Sixth Divine Star stared deeply at Anthony, asking: "Do you admit extradimensional wraiths are truly a weapon?"

"Wasn't it you who said it's a weapon?" Anthony said lightly.

"However we phrase it, it's speculation—you say the same, so that's admission." The Sixth Divine Star said, looking at Anthony.

Anthony chuckled: "Heh, no—I can only say this much."

The Sixth Divine Star stared deeply at Anthony; Anthony calmly let him look, face inscrutable.

Seeing nothing on Anthony's face, the Sixth Divine Star said: "Anything else to ask? If not, first sever the consciousness link, let me return to inform my companions—this is what you promised."

"Report to Lania? Let me tell you what to report—you say this and that, don't say that and that, understand?" Anthony said.

The Sixth Divine Star readily agreed—anyway, returning requires passing through the Boundless Gate, needing to sever the consciousness link; by then, what to say won't be up to Anthony.

Anthony seemed to guess his thought, smiling: "You're thinking, passing through the Boundless Gate requires severing the consciousness link—then you can say whatever you want, right?"

The Sixth Divine Star shook his head: "No, I will definitely follow your requirements in reporting, firmly refusing to say what you forbid."

Anthony chuckled: "Heh, if you hadn't shaken your head, I'd still believe you—you're unlike the Fifth Divine Star; you never nod or shake your head during conversation, yet now you've shaken your head."

The Sixth Divine Star's heart tightened: "You want to violate the contract?"

"No, I need not violate the contract—severing the consciousness link isn't within the contract's scope. Come." Anthony gestured for him to follow, then turned and flew toward the nearby misty area.

The Sixth Divine Star had long noticed a cumulus mist nearby, but the cumulus mist shielded all perception—he also didn't know what lay within.

When he followed Anthony into the mist cluster, passing through a triangular gap, he soon saw Anthony's dark star body diving into the Boundless Gate.

At this moment, the Sixth Divine Star felt like a dog circling a pillar and seeing its own rear—he pointed at his own body, desperately asking: "Have we come out?"
