Chapter 1690

"Primordial Divine Light?!" Anthony and the others were instantly energized.

The name Primordial Divine Light held great significance for them—it referred to the divine star exiled into the Infinite Void, which had not yet hatched a star soul and was an unconscious divine star.

Until one day, a consciousness was born.

This should have been a perfectly normal occurrence, but something went wrong—the consciousness born from the Primordial Divine Light was too strong, causing the main body to lose balance and explode directly, and this born consciousness became the Eternal Divine Light.

The Eternal Divine Light reabsorbed part of the power of the Primordial Divine Light and became one of the Seven Primordial Sources of the Chaos Surface.

The remaining part of the Primordial Divine Light transformed into the Chaos Mist and all matter of the Chaos Surface, and also gave birth to all the ancient gods and life.

In other words, the Primordial Divine Light is the source of everything in the Chaos Surface, and this name holds special meaning for Seeing Ange and the others.

However, as the conversation continued, everyone realized that the Primordial Divine Light spoken of by the manifestation was not the same thing as the abstract concept they had been discussing.

The manifestation said: "All divine stars that have not hatched a star soul and lack consciousness can emit Primordial Divine Light, and as long as one has a Stellar Bias Mirror, they can convert this Primordial Divine Light into divine light matching their own attributes, thus replenishing their consumption."

Anthony immediately seized on the key point: "Stellar Bias Mirror? What is that? Do you mean there is an ownerless divine star here?"

The manifestation did not answer but countered: "You haven't answered my question yet—what exactly happened in the Lan'ya Branch Road? Why did it suddenly collapse? What is the situation there now?"

Anthony had no choice but to reply, exchanging words back and forth—this seemed to be the customary way of exchanging information in the void, and everyone was willing to follow it, after all, each divine star is vastly distant, with no means of restraint, so information could only be traded bit by bit; even if the other party acted deceitfully, the loss would be only one piece of information.

However, this exchange method is too arbitrary—no one can accurately price "one piece of information." If one possesses demonic linguistic skill, it's easy to trade irrelevant or fabricated information for crucial intelligence.

But Anthony didn't need to worry about this—demonic linguistic skill? That's nothing. His linguistic prowess is god-trickster level; in just a few words, he had the manifestation's situation completely figured out.

These star descendants are all wanderers, divided into three factions, with the manifestation as their leader, and their livelihood consists of licking blood from the blade's edge—ambushing and robbing travelers.

"Wait a moment," Anthony interrupted: "Ambushing and robbing? Is there even a road here? Do people usually pass through here? If you rely on robbery, how long would it take to score a single haul?"

The void is vast and boundless—flying for hundreds or even thousands of years might yield no encounter with a living being, and with no cover and open passages in all directions, robbery would be nearly impossible without accurate intelligence.

They actually claimed three gangs survive by robbery—do they take me for a fool to be easily deceived? Or is there some other hidden truth?

The manifestation said: "It takes only three to five years to score a haul—there are several hundred settlements nearby, mutually supplied, with frequent travel, so some gains are still possible. Moreover, this place leads to the only settlement possessing a divine star—Doom Valley—and the targets are still quite substantial."

After clarifying this, everyone returned to the original topic. The manifestation possesses a Boundless Gate, through which it discovered that many gates are now disconnected, and the disconnection is gradual—it seems as if some great disaster is spreading along the Lan'ya Branch Road.

To clarify the situation, the manifestation contacted the other two wanderer factions, and together they went to search for anyone who might have escaped from the Lan'ya Branch Road, hoping to gather intelligence.

And Seeing Ange's group happened to be the first batch they encountered from the Lan'ya Branch Road.

After the manifestation finished describing its situation, Anthony also fabricated a plausible explanation, having Morlania and the Sixth Divine Star—two individuals familiar with the circumstances—and still having had contact with Lan'ya and Kelaniya, the two supreme divine stars of those branches, so his story was tightly woven and consistent.

It's likely that this manifestation doesn't understand the branch's situation as well as Anthony does.

"The current situation is this: the Lan'ya Branch Road suddenly collapsed, Lord Kelaniya led a portion of the people to escape, ordered us to come here to scout, find a safe haven—certainly safe and spacious, and also able to evade the pursuit of foreign wraiths and temporal ancient dragons." Anthony said.

The manifestation believed him, for it possesses the Boundless Gate, enabling travel to and from the Lan'ya Branch Road, and naturally knows of foreign wraiths and temporal ancient dragons.

However, it requires an increment to activate the Boundless Gate, and as a mere star descendant, it cannot freely use such increments—opening the gate is troublesome, though searching and connecting remain possible.

The fact that vast numbers of Boundless Gates cannot connect matches the feature of the branch road's collapse, and the information Anthony revealed also aligns with its understanding of the Lan'ya Branch Road—behind this must be a powerful divine star deeply familiar with the Lan'ya Branch Road.

Regardless of whether the other party is an expedition team sent by Kelaniya, as long as they are truly dispatched by a powerful divine star, they are absolutely not someone the manifestation can provoke—this kind of wandering star descendant without even a main heart, in the presence of a main star's existence, is nothing but a roadside weed.

"Please, honored guests, rest awhile in our Doom Valley, and meanwhile replenish the supplies consumed on your journey." The colossus said respectfully.

This perfectly matched Anthony's intention—he had too many questions he wanted answered. The wanderer star descendants have actually established such an ecology on the outskirts of the void pillars, completely overturning his understanding of star descendants.

Moreover, what is this Stellar Bias Mirror, capable of deflecting divine light and nourishing these star descendants without a main star? This is the foundation enabling wanderer star descendants to survive in such an environment.

Under the manifestation's guidance, Seeing Ange stepped into the void and walked toward Doom Valley.

Following the big cat's suggestion, the giant cat climbed onto Seeing Ange's head, covering it like a hat. Nai Ge Li Si and the others saw this scene and all felt a sense of familiarity.

Not long after, under the manifestation's guidance, Seeing Ange arrived at Doom Valley. Looking from afar, a extinguished divine star had been split down the middle into two halves—the upper part separated, the lower part still connected, forming a canyon-like gap.

Nai Ge Li Si drew a sharp breath: "A divine star! Doom Valley is actually an extinguished divine star?"

"Is this the divine star you possess?" Anthony looked toward the manifestation.

This fellow had just been boasting that Doom Valley possessed the only ownerless divine star nearby—could it possibly be this one?

The manifestation said proudly: "Yes, exactly this one. We have several hundred settlements here, all relying on this divine star to survive in this void world."

Anthony was somewhat puzzled by its pride, making a splitting gesture with his hands and saying: "But it's already extinguished and split open—where is there any divine light?"
