Chapter 1691: We Will Erase This Place

He said concretely: "Digging it open, once you dig it open you can see the divine light—although it has already gone out, only the surface has hardened now; the entire extinction process lasted at least one or two hundred million years. Even if completely extinguished, it would condense a large amount of divine light crystals. Using a special method to stimulate them, they would emit divine light again. Then, by slightly deflecting it with a stellar deflector mirror, you can obtain the divine light that nourishes star descendants."

Neggris didn't know what to say anymore: "The extinction process actually lasted two hundred million years? This time unit is truly despair-inducing. But even a extinguished divine star is worth them showing off—truly, they lack experience."

Just now, the embodiment proudly said they owned the only divine star among several hundred nearby settlements. Their boastful attitude made everyone misjudge, thinking this was a burning divine star. Now, seeing it, they were greatly disappointed.

For Ang and these people, a burning divine star is no longer rare. What impresses them is growth. A divine star without growth, like the Sixth Divine Star, when fleeing, its reserves are all just burdens to be discarded.

Anthony said: "You can't say it like that. Star descendants are life nurtured by divine stars, and their relationship with divine stars is like ours with the plane. Don't even mention the whole plane—even a small fragment of plane debris could be treasured by us. Back then, the Church of Light spent great effort to transform two plane fragments into heavenly fortresses."

The Church of Light has two heavenly fortresses. One is the Holy Heaven, where the core holds the Light Main God's divine essence. Now it has become the territory of the little wraiths.

The other is the Judgment Heaven, used to bombard the main plane, then got stuck in the spatial barrier, and finally became the tomb of Flash Fiti.

Due to the Forgetting God, Fiti completely forgot his origin. There, he picked up trash for over a thousand years.

Both heavenly fortresses were transformed from plane fragments, their volume not inferior to ordinary abyssal planes, and they even possess plane barriers. These plane barriers became natural protective shields. Initially, if Ang hadn't transformed into Luo Ke, he couldn't have opened them.

Two plane fragments allowed the Church of Light to treasure them like this. Now here lies the complete remains of a divine star. The embodiment not cherishing it would be strange—only Neggris, having seen too many good things, would disdain it.

Possessing this remains, the star descendants of several hundred nearby settlements no longer need to worry about divine light depletion causing death. Moreover, controlling such resources makes it much easier for the embodiment to do whatever they want. No wonder three unaffiliated bandit gangs take it as their base.

Continuing forward, we arrived at the valley and discovered many star descendants attempting to cut the hardened shell of the divine star's surface.

Anthony asked in confusion: "What are they doing?"

"Oh, they're gathering building materials. The number of life forms here is increasing, and most cannot live on the divine star's surface—even if it's already extinguished. So we collect some star shells to sell them. After they take them back and cut them down, they can use them as building materials."

Neggris asked in shock: "Star shells? As building materials? Life forms? Do they have the means to process them?"

It's no wonder Neggris is shocked, for star shell is an extremely hard material—Morlania's body surface is covered with such a shell.

It can withstand the pressure on the divine star's surface without cracking, and also endure internal high pressure without exploding. It's fundamentally not a material life forms can process.

Initially, to process the World Divine Tree, Ang specially bred a special worm with mouthparts augmented by chaotic force, which barely allowed it to gnaw the World Divine Tree.

And compared to the World Divine Tree, various carbonized divine tree remnants are even harder. These worms cannot gnaw them at all—only Ang and the Azure Divine Star can process them.

Only after mastering stellar power did Ang specially forge several stellar bone rods, then had the mourning undead soldiers smash them, finally solving the problem of pulverizing carbonized remnants. This was because carbonization increased hardness but reduced toughness, making it too brittle—otherwise, it couldn't even be smashed.

Yet the divine star's surface shell is harder than carbonized divine tree remnants. They're actually selling it to life forms as material? What life form could process such material?

The giant embodiment said: "They can't process star shells, but assembling them together is fine. If you're curious, why not come down and take a look?"

Everyone exchanged glances and nodded in unison.

So the embodiment led everyone flying toward a relatively chaotic area on the outskirts of the divine star.

While flying, the embodiment took the chance to explain: "The divine star's surface cools unevenly—one layer cools first, while underneath remains hot, causing stratification. We peel open the star shell layer by layer to obtain a huge, flat star shell sheet. Using it as a foundation, we can build various structures on the plane."

Neggris suddenly understood: uneven cooling indeed causes layering. This structural separation splits apart with a light lift, but breaking them is difficult—perfect for use as a foundation.

Arriving at the outskirts, we indeed saw vast sheets of giant star shell fragments floating in the void, their surfaces piled chaotically with various constructions, stacked like a small hill.

The embodiment continued: "Many life forms need to breathe air, so the first step is placing things with devouring power on the star shell to adsorb air onto its surface."

"Because it's centered on devouring power, the adsorbed air forms like an inverted half-sphere on the star shell. The closer to the center, the thicker the air adsorption, so buildings easily pile up into this shape."

Emperor Luoni couldn't help but exclaim: "I never imagined that even the building's shape carried so many details. Looking at it, I thought it was just a randomly assembled pile of structures, but I didn't expect it was designed to utilize the space within the semi-circular air shield."

From these details, we can see these star descendants and life forms have stayed here a long time, already developing their corresponding architectural style.

Just as the embodiment was about to say something, a strong energy wave suddenly came from afar—like something had exploded.

Not long after, a star descendant came flying over, pants soaked with urine and sweat: "Sir, the fifteenth settlement ahead was blown up—destroyed by star descendants coming from the Furnace Path. All life forms and star descendants are dead."

"What? Star descendants from the Furnace Path? Why are they attacking our settlement?" the giant embodiment asked in shock.

Before the reporting star descendant could answer, a powerful consciousness wave swept across the entire field:

"We are star architects from the Wanlian Empire's Smelting Furnace Branch. Our stellar deflector mirror was accidentally damaged, and we need a piece of the Wanlian Empire's stellar deflector mirror. If you hand over a piece of the Wanlian Empire's stellar deflector mirror, we will reward you handsomely. If you do not have one, we will completely erase this place."
