Chapter 1630

Ange actually slapped his thigh? This action shocked everyone—what happened?

The habit of slapping the thigh originated from Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si, but Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si's hands were too short, only reaching his belly, and he claimed that was his waist.

Anthony the old charlatan, to fit in, occasionally learned from it, and eventually everyone got used to it; this gesture displays regret and sudden realization, generally an unconscious motion when one suddenly understands a problem that had previously seemed incomprehensible.

But Ange is the Void Origin—does he even have any problems he can't figure out?

"Original form, my original form." Ange said.

Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si and Anthony exchanged a glance; Ange emphasized the "original form," which naturally does not refer to this current layered-sheet clone, nor to the clone on the Little Fire Person Divine Star, but can only be the red giant sphere on the Chaos Plane, formed by the aggregation of everything on the Chaos Plane.

"What's wrong with your original form?" Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si asked, puzzled. Is there something about Ange's original form that makes him regretful or unable to comprehend?

"The source of collapse, different levels, original form, cannot come out." Ange explained.

Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si also slapped his waist muscles abruptly: "Ah, I get it, it makes sense—no wonder your original form hasn't emerged from the infinite void for over a decade; it turns out the Chaos Plane lies within the source of collapse, with different levels."

Ange had long been summoning his original form, moving toward his own direction, but at first it was fast, and soon Ange could pull the consciousness of Anthony and others over.

After a while, he could utilize the original form's power; when unleashing a major move, the original form's power would project over, forming a hovering light-ball illusion behind him.

Then it vanished, and for the next decade or so, the original form never appeared.

No one found it strange, because when the Little Wisp first emerged from the Chaos Plane, it also took two thousand years; Ange's original form hasn't even reached twenty years yet, so it's not surprising it hasn't come out.

Unexpectedly, now Ange is slapping his thigh, saying it's because of the source of collapse—could it be that Ange's original form can't emerge because it's in a different level?

"No, if it's different levels, why could the Little Wisp come out?" Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si asked.

Ange shook his head; this is also why he never thought in terms of different levels—the Little Wisp could come out, so why can't his original form?

"Then—then what should we do now?" Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si asked.

Ange shook his head.

What does it mean? Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si didn't understand Ange's head shake—was he unsure what to do, or lacking the ability to do it?

Ange's regret is something they cannot resolve, so they proceed as planned: the silver coins set off first, while the others change their forms, condensing into the original concrete shape of the Star Flame, limbs on the ground, forelimbs longer, head drooping with a tentacle beneath, very like an elephant walking in an ape-like manner, the tentacle like a trunk.

"I feel weird." Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si flew along, swinging his own tentacle: "I've grown this thing—it's a bit hard to get used to."

Others adapted well, especially Anthony, who swung his tentacle forward and then glided forward slowly.

Not long after, everyone landed on the largest piece of rubble.

Upon landing, Hisro was shocked: "Star Flame Rock? Such a huge piece?"

Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si stomped once, puzzled: "What is this? This stuff is quite brittle—stomp once and it breaks."

"Of course it's brittle after being left long—this is the residue after Star Flame burns; a divine star is 99.99% Star Flame, with only 0.000几 percent impurities; these impurities have less than a 50% chance of remaining as slag; such a large piece means the divine star that burned into this slag is at least comparable in size to the Sixth Divine Star." Hisro said.

"Wow——" Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si gazed at the Star Flame Rock before him, about the same size as the Little Fire Person Divine Star, and sighed in awe: "Do these residues have any use? Grab some for Du Luo Ken."

"If it were useful, it wouldn't be called residue; their only purpose is to fall into the Star Flame and not burn away—too bad they're too brittle, shattering to powder with force, useless." Hisro said.

"Not necessarily." Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si bent down, dug up a few pieces, and pocketed them: "Don't forget we have crystal-coating technique; if we coat them onto clothing surfaces, wouldn't they resist Star Flame's high heat? And being unable to burn is their greatest use—think of pure melting fire."

Hisro spread his hands, then dug up a bit himself.

"You said it's useless—then why are you digging it?" Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si mocked.

"Its particles are very small and very hard; ground into powder, it can be used to polish lenses; later, grind a larger aperture for an astronomical telescope." Hisro said.

While digging Star Flame Rock, Anthony observed the surroundings—countless Star Descendants moved swiftly around the rocks, some flying urgently, appearing busy, yet none used Star Shift.

"This place seems unable to use Star Shift—everyone take note." Anthony reminded.

Ursman asked in a dazed tone: "Why are they so busy?"

This question sounds philosophical, but Ursman clearly isn't discussing philosophy—just pure confusion: "They don't need food, nor reproduction—what are they flying back and forth for here?"

"Follow the will of the divine star—they need no food, no reproduction; the only thing they must follow is the divine star's will; only that can make them this busy." Anthony said.

Ursman grew more confused: "Why? Being busy must have a purpose—just busy for the sake of being busy?"

Anthony suddenly asked Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si: "Were the Star Descendants on the Little Fire Person Divine Star originally busy?"

"No, they just basked in the sun all day, bored to death—that's why selling them leisure and entertainment products was so easy." Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si said.

So what are they busy doing?

Utterly perplexed, Anthony suddenly shouted at a Star Descendant streaking overhead: "Where are you going?"

The Star Descendant stopped, looked puzzled at Anthony: "You called me?"

"Yes, I called you—do you have a name? Where are you going?" Anthony asked.

The Star Descendant looked somewhat delighted: "Finally someone asked my name—I'm Kai Gong Gong Gu; Kai is my home star's name, Gong Gong Gu is my name; what about you? What's your name?"

Anthony thought, then said: "I'm Liu Anthony; Liu is my home star's name, I'm Anthony."

"Oh, you're Star Descendants of the Sixth Divine Star? Hope you don't grieve over your home star's departure." Gong Gong Gu said regretfully.

Huh? This friendly? Earlier, that Star Descendant seeing they were from the Sixth Divine Star had mocked them sarcastically.

Anthony said: "No problem—you still haven't said where you're going."

"Going to move stuff—years ago, a divine star was killed by someone; its body is dissipating; I'm going to haul some back." Gong Gong Gu said.

"Killed by someone? Who killed it? Void ghosts?" Anthony asked.

"Of course not—it was killed by my home star." Gong Gong Gu said.

"Your home star killed it? Why?" Anthony asked, puzzled.

"I don't know either—my home star never told me; do you want some? Come with me." Gong Gong Gu said.

"Ah? I can go too?" Anthony was shocked—you're letting others touch the corpse when your home star killed it—is that appropriate?

"What's wrong with it? Its body turned into the Mist of Increase, spreading across vast spaces—whoever finds it keeps it; if you don't go, I can't collect it all—many Star Descendants are gathering it." Gong Gong Gu said dismissively.

"Is gathering this stuff hard? If your home star just circled it once, wouldn't it suck it all up?" Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si couldn't help but ask.

Gong Gong Gu said: "No—it died within the Matter Cloud; when my home star plunged in, it also sucked in the Matter Cloud."

Now I get it—it's not about letting everyone touch the corpse, but gathering debris.

Originally, it was this—fundamentally not about letting everyone touch the corpse, but about gathering fragments.

However, a fragment of a divine star scattered, and the increment was not small either; anyway, there was nothing to do now, so Anthony immediately agreed to Genggu's proposal, and a line of star descendants flew into the distant matter cloud.

Flying along, Ange suddenly said inexplicably: "It's out."
