"Ghost Guide Instantly Kills Loswein Bandits?" In the substance cloud, a certain spatial trap, Lania repeated this news in bewilderment: "Is it the Guide? Not an extradimensional ghost?"

Kelania's avatar said: "It is the Guide, not an extradimensional ghost. Loswein only had time to send me some fragments; his companion star sent me the detailed process. Branch Master, please look."

Kelania sent a piece of information to Lania. After viewing it, Lania still fell into deep doubt: "Truly the Guide? Why could their light touch knock out the star souls?"

Kelania said: "I don't know either. This seems like a skill—I've never seen them use it before."

Lania fell silent for a moment, then asked: "How many ghost guides appeared this time? Three? And who was the one who used ghost folding to collect the star souls from behind?"

Kelania said: "Probably also a ghost guide. Its intensity is too low—it couldn't be an extradimensional ghost."

"So that means there are four ghost guides? Why are so many ghost guides gathered? What exactly happened?"

The divine star previously surrounded and beaten by Anthony and others in the void, although it released divine light at the point of death to inform everyone of the specific situation, but due to lack of on-site data, everyone remained doubtful about the matter of several "ghost guides."

And the divine star that later intercepted Morania, because it was in the substance cloud, didn't even manage to send out a message.

This is the only on-site data Lania saw, confirming the existence of multiple ghost guides.

Kelania knew the Branch Master wasn't asking him, so he also didn't answer.

After a long while, Lania said: "Have everyone raise their vigilance, try to stay in the mist belt, and don't go out."

Kelania said: "Yes, how should we handle the main body of the Sixth Divine Star?"

"What do you think should be done?" Lania asked Kelania: "He remains in his original position, turned into a divine star trap. Some reckless fellows will always venture over hoping to pick up scraps. If ghost guides set an ambush there, many divine stars will die. I want to strike him with Kelania's Arrow to detonate him."

Lania pondered for a moment, then asked: "Can your Kelania's Arrow detonate him?"

Kelania said: "It can't detonate him, so I need some special things—Main Star, please grant me Dark Star Crystal."

Lania began to ponder.

So-called Dark Star Crystal is a kind of inert energy compressed under ultra-high pressure and temperature, a super-state crystal between energy and matter.

In the entire Lania branch, only he has the ability to produce Dark Star Crystal.

But this thing is also a highly threatening weapon.

Held in one's own hands, it is a weapon; held in another's hands, it is a threat.

If Kelania obtains this weapon, will he use it against himself?

However, after thinking for a long while, Lania still felt that even if Kelania obtained this thing, it couldn't threaten him.

Thus, a huge Dark Star Crystal floated out from Lania's body.

The Boundless Gate also emerged from the World Divine Tree on Lania's body, then rapidly expanded—opening and closing, the huge Dark Star Crystal was transmitted through the Boundless Gate.

The Boundless Gate is a common transmission device in the void; inter-world transmission is easy, it just lacks a node to the Infinite Branch.

Having obtained the Dark Star Crystal, Kelania's avatar bid farewell to Lania and swiftly departed from here.

After pondering for a long time, Lania sent a message from the World Divine Tree on his body.

A huge obelisk was raised by the World Divine Tree, its inscriptions slowly flashing, as if sending some message.

After an unknown duration, three phantoms successively projected from the four faces of the obelisk.

One was a huge fireball, yet its body was wrapped in countless metals, as if wearing a spherical armor; only through the metal seams could one see scorching white star flames inhaling and exhaling within.

Helirros, Master of the Furnace Branch, he is the hottest divine star in the void, with a mass 350,000 times that of the Little Fire Person Divine Star, yet his temperature far exceeds Lania's.

His temperature can melt all matter and energy in the void, hence he is called the Master of the Furnace.

The second is a black sphere, its size and radiance indiscernible. Divine stars transmit information via divine light, but he emits no light at all—equivalent to a human's blank expression.

Kanatos, Master of the Silent Branch.

No one knows his mass, no one knows his age, no one knows his position; even the World Divine Tree is absent from him.

All divine stars in the Silent Branch lack World Divine Trees, for Kanatos said: "Trees speak, and speaking leaks secrets."

Without World Divine Trees, naturally there is no life.

The entire Silent Branch has only divine stars, no life, and even before extradimensional ghosts and spacetime ancient dragons appeared, this branch was already like this.

Thus, some believe this branch suffers the least loss when facing extradimensional ghosts and spacetime ancient dragons among all branches.

But Lania disagrees—small loss may be because the entire branch had already suffered total loss before extradimensional ghosts and spacetime ancient dragons appeared.

Unfortunately, there is no way to verify his guess; the Silent Branch is the most mysterious branch in the entire void.

The third is a mist cluster, the entire mist cluster flashing with green light, occasionally with electric-like fissures splitting open on the mist, revealing a humanoid silhouette.

Irina, Master of the Fissure Branch; this branch is a world filled with spatial fissures. Divine stars have grown up with fissures since childhood, their comprehension of spatial fissures far surpassing other divine stars.

They can manufacture various spatial items, such as the Boundless Gate and obelisks.

Indeed, the obelisk communication tower and Boundless Gate they currently use for communication are products of Irina's Fissure Branch.

Divine stars have no names, but obelisks need names.

Since divine light cannot be used for communication via the back of the obelisk, everyone can only resort to relatively inefficient language to communicate.

Seeing everyone present, Lania then explained the reason for convening this meeting, then asked: "I want to know why ghost guides have gathered? Do you know the reason?"

No one spoke—that means they don't know.

Lania turned to Irina and asked: "You previously said you wanted to lure and capture ghost guides—did you succeed?"

Irina said: "I succeeded."

"Then you should have much information about ghost guides to share with us.

Irina remained silent for a long time before saying: "Extradimensional ghosts are not individuals; they are weapons."

The Master of the Silent Branch, Kanatos, said: "This is already known—don't repeat old news."

Irina said: "Therefore, there are no extradimensional ghosts, only ghost guides. Their origins are complex—humans, star descendants, and all beings that ever existed in the void. They are summoned by a certain sound."

"This sound is likely the creator of extradimensional ghosts. After they find divine stars, they guide extradimensional ghosts from unknown places to strike the divine stars' star souls—this is the attack source."

"As for why Lania's branch has so many ghost guides, it's likely because these guides knew each other before becoming guides." Irina said.

Lania's spirit lifted—his convening this meeting was not in vain; this just found a reasonable explanation?

The Master of the Crucible asked: "How many Ghost Guides are there?"

Selina replied: "As many as needed, as long as the weapon of the Foreign Ghosts is not destroyed, and the creation of this weapon is not eradicated, the Ghost Guides can continuously generate in the void; they can even cultivate humans, who only have a sixty-year lifespan, into Guides."

All the branch masters fell silent, for sixty years is but a blink of an eye to the Divine Star; if such beings can become Guides, then in a blink they multiply in batches, in a blink they multiply in batches, and cannot be completely eradicated.

"Then do you know where the weapon of the Foreign Ghosts is?" Lania asked.

"I don't know the exact location, but I estimate there is a general range, within the Core Disk." Irina said.

The branch lines are also called net-like branches; they are like nets cast out, seventeen branch lines are seventeen nets, just like seventeen petals.

The dispersed side faces outward, the converging end faces inward, they rely on each other, and the end where these seventeen nets join together is the Core Disk.

"Why would it be in the Core Disk?" Lania asked.

Irina said: "Because I have studied many attacks, no matter which branch line the attack is directed toward, the time differs little; only when attacking the Core Disk does the time remain consistent."

Lastly Irina added: "The Ghost Guide I captured also felt this way; the Foreign Ghosts come from the direction of the Core Disk."

With the testimony of a Ghost Guide, credibility increases significantly.

Lania asked: "Do you have an approximate location? I will send people to search."

Irina said: "No, the area of the Core Disk is larger than that of a single branch line; wanting to find the existence of the Foreign Ghosts there is difficult."

The Lord of Silence, Karnathos, said: "Capture the Ghost Guides of your branch; their numbers are so great, they surely know more."

,, Lania asked: "How to capture? I cannot even find their location."

After a moment of silence, Karnathos said: "Open the Boundless Gate; I will let my eyes go past to help you find."
