Chapter 1648

~7 min read 1,208 words

The mobilized subjective initiative made the divine star very capable, quickly finding the lone divine star.

Ange notified everyone, reprojecting onto Morania.

Actually, everyone's main body did not leave there; only their consciousness followed Ange back.

The material cloud ahead had been plowed open with a faintly visible trace. Morania relied on this trace to discover the lone divine star, which had just passed through here not long ago.

If it had passed through here a long time ago, the trace would have faded.

"How can you be sure it's a lone divine star?" Anthony probed forward, then asked in the consciousness space.

Morania said: "With only one trace, it's highly likely a lone divine star."

Anthony shook his head: "Four divine stars in a line, so only one trace."

Nai Ge Li Si immediately reacted: "Are they trying to build a Star Rainbow Bridge?"

Anthony nodded: "Probably; otherwise, there'd be no need for all four to move together."

Daliso also went to scout, reporting: "Four divine stars, each about sixteen times the size of a small fire person; one divine star is strange—though wrapped in a hard shell, it feels extremely cold."

Morania immediately said: "I know who it is—Cold Star Loswein."

"What does 'Cold Star' mean? Is it a type of divine star?" Nai Ge Li Si asked, puzzled.

"Yes, a cold-type divine star. Its stellar flame is mixed with something unknown, emitting divine light of very low temperature, hence called a Cold Star. If it's only about sixteen times the size of a small fire person, it's likely Loswein."

"Does it have anything special?" Anthony asked: "I see this line of four divine stars seems to be led by that cold star."

Morania replied: "It releases annihilating cold light, sucking away your body heat, causing thermal imbalance, thus detonating the divine star."

Saying this, Morania added: "Loswein's divine star squad is the most notorious robber gang in the entire Lanian Mist Belt, often ambushing other divine stars and looting everything they have."

"Pfft... robber gangs inside divine stars? Do divine stars even have robbers?" Nai Ge Li Si laughed out loud.

Morania seemed bewildered, saying: "What's so strange about that? Hunting and plundering are the oldest instincts of life; divine stars are also life forms—what's strange about looting?"

Anthony asked: "What can you loot by hunting divine stars?"

Previously, Anthony wouldn't have had this question, but after experiencing Ange's inability to inject increments into the Azure Divine Star, he realized increments cannot be looted—so what is this robber gang stealing?

Morania said: "Of course, they loot stellar flame and increments."

"But increments can't be looted, can they?" Nai Ge Li Si also had the same doubt.

"Of course they can be looted—it's essentially a form of power; you just can't stop your depletion with it, but you can increase your total mass." Morania said.

Everyone suddenly understood: this meat can't make you younger, but it can make you gain flesh.

"So what now? Should we ambush them? Can we beat them?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

"Let's see—I found they're chatting, communicating via divine light, but I can't understand. Lord Nai Ge, please project over and help me translate." Anthony said.

Nai Ge Li Si projected onto Anthony, translating their divine-light conversation, synchronized into the consciousness space.

Loswein asked: "Do you know about the Sixth Divine Star?"

The other divine stars replied: "We know—a guy who uses a serial number as his name, dragging our divine stars' faces through the mud."

Another divine star said: "He's currently dispatched by Lord Lanian to the Boundless Lands, stripped of his protection; his star descendants now roam everywhere like disordered chaotic stars."

The third divine star asked: "Does the Boundless Land really exist?"

"Definitely—many still have the Boundless Gate; if it can be opened, it connects to the Boundless Lands. Lord Lanian's Boundless Gate has opened before." Loswein replied.

The other divine stars asked: "Then why mention the Sixth Divine Star? Have you found a way to the Boundless Lands?"

Loswein said: "No—I'm talking about the Sixth Divine Star's main body. Do you know where it is?"

The other divine stars immediately perked up: "You do?"

Loswein said: "Yes, Kelania once used the Sixth Divine Star's main body to set a trap, intending to ambush extradimensional ghosts, but failed—and instead drew the extradimensional ghosts into the Mist Belt. Now, all divine stars that have purified the Mist Belt have been scared away."

"So it was Kel who drew them over—damn Kel." The other divine stars said angrily.

"Then what does the Sixth Divine Star have to do with this? Shouldn't we go settle scores with Kel?" The other divine stars asked.

Another divine star mocked: "Even if we all teamed up, could we beat Kel?"

The divine star that suggested settling scores with Kel had divine light flickering urgently, as if fuming with embarrassment.

Loswein said: "I know where the Sixth Divine Star's main body is—told by a divine star who set an ambush with Kel. We went to loot his main body."

The other divine stars said: "But the Sixth Divine Star is already aged; its main body has no increments—is it worth looting?"

Loswein said irritably: "Even without increments, it's still a Giant Divine Star. Looting half of it would multiply our mass by over ten times—then we can still settle scores with Kel later."

The other divine stars all agreed: no increments, but there's still reserve; stellar flame is stellar flame—non-incremental stellar flame can still blast enemies to pieces.

Such aged Giant Divine Stars are rare in the void—mostly barbaric and unreasonable, relying on their short lifespans to self-detonate at will; even the Branch Lords dare not provoke them lightly.

Their conversation was translated into the consciousness space; Daliso exclaimed in shock: "They want to loot the Number Divine Star? How is the Sixth Divine Star now?"

Daliso had never managed to loot the Sixth Divine Star before—now these little brats dare to eye the loot he couldn't get?

Not long after, the Sixth Divine Star's consciousness was also pulled into the consciousness space.

After being briefed, the Sixth Divine Star immediately exclaimed excitedly: "Let them come—I've recovered half of my control power. Let them come—perfect, I'll swallow them whole."

So everyone just followed from afar, trailing these four divine stars all the way to where the Sixth Divine Star was located.

After flying a distance, the bored Nai Ge Li Si couldn't help but ask: "Why don't they use the Star Rainbow Bridge?"

Morania replied: "Using the Star Rainbow Bridge in the material cloud? Are you suicidal? Look—we move our divine stars through the material cloud by first pushing the cloud ahead with a gravity field; otherwise, hitting it would cause massive stellar flame loss, and the cloud is too dense—it would also pollute the stellar flame's purity."

"Oh, that's why." Nai Ge Li Si realized, chatting as the material cloud ahead gradually thinned; soon, the line of divine stars broke through the cloud and entered the void.

Ahead in the void, a colossal divine star hovered silently, like an unconscious blank divine star.

Seeing this, Nai Ge Li Si exclaimed: "The Sixth Divine Star has already prepared to trap people."
