Chapter 491: Giant Collaboration: The Star Nest Gate!

"Your Excellency Ta Ke·La Mo Er!"

The projected luminous giant's outline at the site was roughly the same size as Ta Ke, just over a hundred meters tall.

Yet it exuded the grandeur of a towering mountain.

The differing traits of the legendary sequence give the impressions displayed by strong cultivators of the legendary realm a variety of uniqueness.

"I come from the Starlight Giant clan; you may call me Se La Fu."

At that point, the luminous giant projection Se La Fu glanced around the surroundings.

"I have long heard, Prince Ta Ke, that you possess unparalleled mastery of steam ecology."

"Seeing you today, indeed you are extraordinary."

"Many of my friends in the Fu Luo La Cosmic Mountains have encountered your steam ecology, Prince Ta Ke, and quite a few have already begun studying it."

Se La Fu said briskly.

"Prince Ta Ke, our current enemies are the Green Star tribe; I have several proposals for cooperation and wonder how you feel about them, Prince Ta Ke?"

Ta Ke was unmoved by the flattery.

"Indeed! Prince Ta Ke!"

"I share that sentiment, but I do not know how to cooperate."

Ta Ke felt the pervasive steam and the crisscrossing star network around him.

"Closer?"

In his thoughts, Ta Ke slowly spoke.

"Since we possess such resources, seeking the Star Nest location becomes exceedingly convenient, which is indeed enviable."

"Across endless ages, you are the rightful first to alter the divine forbidden land's star network ecology!"

If there exists a treasure like the Star Nest Gate to aid Ta Ke in entering the floating star nest.

"One such resource is the 【Star Nest Gate】; placing this treasure near the floating island star nest and opening the gate allows direct access to the floating island star nest region."

"Do you think I can effectively pinpoint the exact location of the floating star nest through the steam star network?"

Seeing that Ta Ke also shows intent to cooperate.

After patrolling the surrounding steam star network ecology for a while, the Starlight Giant Se La Fu's heavy, settled gaze, characteristic of his giant sequence, fell upon Ta Ke, and he spoke steadily.

"I could indeed provide you with those corresponding coordinates."

Level 240, the realm of a weak demigod, is already within reach!

"During my perception of the steam star network, I discovered some suspicious areas."

The floating star nest truly is an alluring treasure.

"So…"

A faint smile tugged at Se La Fu's mouth.

Ta Ke pondered briefly and gave a slight nod.

"However, this treasure has a drawback: it requires proximity to a region near the floating star nest in order to reach it."

"The 【Star Nest Gate】 is indeed an extraordinary precious artifact."

That, for Ta Ke,

"We Starlight Giants, upon entering this divine forbidden land, have also brought numerous valuable resources."

But… this time cooperating with Ta Ke, even saying it benefits Ta Ke, is unlike the past.

"Developing such a method is not surprising!"

Under normal circumstances, he would never disclose the many secret details of the 【Star Nest Gate】 to Ta Ke·La Mo Er.

Se La Fu elaborated slowly.

Ta Ke listened to the explanation, feeling a slight astonishment.

"Many praise the steam cores born from your steam ecology."

Se La Fu's words were full of admiration.

"In this great divine forbidden land, many strong cultivators wish to deeply analyze the star network ecology here, yet none have succeeded."

Ta Ke's voice softened as he explained.

"However, the Starlight Giant clan has entered this divine forbidden land many times."

"And you… have succeeded!"

"To think such a marvelous treasure?"

Se La Fu spoke slowly.

Ta Ke could only roughly grasp the general area; he himself is also using some methods to try to precisely locate the floating star nest.

Ta Ke seized the key information within.

"Even among the younger members of our sequence, some have attempted to absorb those steam cores; I must say it's truly wondrous, and those steam cores are indeed beneficial to the Starlight Giant sequence."

"Five!"

Se La Fu said briskly.

"If… Prince Ta Ke provides us with five coordinates and all locate star nests,"

"we will grant you one 【Star Nest Gate】."

"If you can provide more star nest coordinates, we are willing to give you additional 【Star Nest Gate】s."

"Of course, since these star nests are all within the star network region and share ecological commonality, you can only undergo the star nest baptism once at most; therefore, the surplus star nest coordinates can be converted into deeper cooperation with us."

"Deeper cooperation?"

"Yes!"

Se La Fu nodded solemnly.

"Prince Ta Ke, you also know this treasure land; its treasure resources are abundant."

"The Star Nest of this Star Net can serve as a rapid upgrade zone; for legendary strongmen, it is a rare treasure resource area."

"And the Divine Fire Furnace Area! It is… the key zone that lets us obtain more powerful 【Ancient Artifact】."

"Divine Fire Furnace Area, Ancient Artifact."

"Regarding this, Ta Ke has learned quite a bit through the A Fang Elf Kingdom."

"The half‑artifact in Ta Ke's hand is not weak."

"But after all, it was forged in a ceremony at Chao Shen Da Shi level."

"Overall, the artifact's characteristics are relatively weak."

"Now, Ta Ke has ascended to the Legendary Realm, even approaching the weak demigod level."

"Naturally, he must forge a stronger half‑artifact."

"And the Divine Fire Furnace Area can forge powerful 【Ancient Half‑Artifact】."

"【Ancient Half‑Artifact】 is far stronger than a 【Half‑Artifact】."

"Of course, in terms of materials, an 【Ancient Half‑Artifact】 requires ten times the usual 【Half‑Artifact】 and also needs a 'Chaotic Star Core' as a foundation."

"After a brief contemplation on the 【Ancient Half‑Artifact】, Ta Ke gathers his mind."

"Lord Se La Fu, speaking of the Divine Fire Furnace Area now is still a bit too early."

"Let's discuss the matters concerning the floating island Star Nest in detail!"

"Overreaching is not Ta Ke's style; properly digesting the resources at hand is the right path."

"Ta Ke's words caused a slight stir in Se La Fu's mind."

"It is rumored that Ta Ke possesses information about the Chaotic Star Core; naturally, he knows it."

"Many of the spellcasters' 【Ancient Artifact】 in the blueprint of the ancient civilization's 'Artifact Sequence' require the divine material of the Chaotic Star Core."

"For their Starlight Giant clan,"

"the strong ones of their divine spirit sequence need such heavy treasures as the Chaotic Star Core to support the framework of the sequence civilization."

"Naturally, they would not expend these resources to forge the very powerful yet resource‑intensive Ancient Artifact for them."

"But, if Ta Ke possibly possesses a Chaotic Star Core,"

"then the approach becomes simple."

"At this moment, when Se La Fu brings up information about the Ancient Artifact, Ta Ke's unwillingness to discuss it in detail further convinces Se La Fu of the rumor that Ta Ke has a Chaotic Star Core."

"'In order to better continue our cooperation.'"

"'Lord Ta Ke, provide five coordinates, and I will immediately contact explorers in several regions to verify them.'"

"'Once there is a result, I will promptly present that Star Nest Gate.'"

"'I wonder how Lord Ta Ke feels about this?'"

"'No problem!' Se La Fu's efficiency pleased Ta Ke considerably."

"After all, this is beneficial to both parties."

"Ta Ke spends his own time; who knows when he can locate that floating island Star Nest."

"But having the 【Star Nest Gate】 makes it easy."

"Under the enemy's covert watch, the earlier one upgrades, the more secure it is."

"Soon, Ta Ke supplied the five coordinate locations to Se La Fu."

"Se La Fu immediately conveyed this information through the Starlight Giants' exclusive communication channel."

"The explorers of the Starlight Giant clan, already prepared, launched into action at once."

"Approximately half a day later."

"The incoming news gave Se La Fu a jolt."

"Five coordinate locations."

"Four of the Star Nest Gates showed fairly clear feedback; evidently, near the coordinates Ta Ke provided there truly are floating star nests."

"One of them, though the feedback was faint, still gave some response."

"Performing the 【Star Nest Gate】 ritual in several corner spots can accurately locate the floating island Star Nest, then directly open the gate ceremony to enter."

"In the past, no matter how much manpower and resources they spent, they could hardly discover many floating star nests."

"But this time, cooperating with Ta Ke, they discovered five exact locations."

"For a moment, Se La Fu felt a measure of respect for the legendary 'Ta Ke Lamor' who rose in the main world."

"'Prince Ta Ke, over there…'..."

"'This is the star…'..."

"After confirming the external information, Se La Fu promptly handed the 【Star Nest Gate】 over to Ta Ke."

"【Star Nest Gate】 is a ritual gate."

"It not only has a physical altar similar to a standardized 【Gate Altar】, but also possesses ritual incantations for prayer."

"Ta Ke carefully examined this altar entity and its related ritual incantations, then took it."

"At this moment, Starlight Giant Se La Fu spoke again."

"'Prince Ta Ke.'"

"'According to the intelligence we have gathered so far, many of the Green Star Clan's destiny rituals, divination processes, etc., have been deduced to indicate that you will pose a great threat to them.'"

"'They are waging a sniper war against you through mysterious and bizarre rituals.'"

"At this point, the luminous giant Se La Fu's voice was low and resonant."

"'Our Starlight Giant clan is the archenemy of the Green Star Clan; one‑on‑one we completely surpass those Green Star scum and can easily crush their dog heads.'"

"Ta Ke gave a slight nod; he has never doubted this point."

"That's natural; the fame of the Starlight Giant clan, I've also long heard it like thunder!"

"Ta Ke's praise made the Starlight Giant Se La Fu lightly laugh."

"Facing the Green Star Clan, this common enemy, I think...... our combined effect...... could bring some giant shock to the Green Star Clan!"

"Giant shock?"

"Ta Ke laughed."

"I like your words!"

"Ta Ke's means and strength are naturally not weak."

"However, he has always been mostly fighting alone."

"And the Starlight Giants are a powerful sequence civilization capable of standing against the Green Star Clan."

"Being able to cooperate with the Starlight Giants to strike the Green Star Clan, Ta Ke naturally would not refuse."

"After a short while."

"The fluorescing Se La Fu, quite satisfied, dispersed his own projection."

"And Ta Ke's projection was not in a hurry to leave."

"Listening to the fluorescent giant Se La Fu's words, their Starlight Giants seem to have come with several remarkable artifact smiths this time!"

"There are even several who were originally weak demigod powerhouses, but after extinguishing their divine fire, became top-tier existences."

"Besides that, there are several top-tier powerhouses whose legendary names are extremely renowned."

"These guys are Starlight Giants, supremely powerful beings in individual form!"

"The Starlight Giants that have entered are not only numerous, but each individual's strength is extraordinarily astonishing."

"The Green Star Clan's movements are indeed not few."

"But……"

"Ta Ke lightly rubbed his palms."

"My current means are also not weak."

"After carefully pondering the details of their cooperation in his mind, Ta Ke then slowly dispersed his projection."

".........."

"About to come into contact with the Steam Star Net curtain region of the Heavenly Canopy Void."

"Going deeper here would touch the mysterious forbidden zone."

"In the forbidden zone of the God's Forbidden Land, Ta Ke previously attempted to send the Legendary Star Aspect Puppet deep inside."

"But after being input, the Legendary Star Aspect Puppet sank like a stone in the sea, leaving no trace; everything was melted away, as if it never existed."

"But in the dark depths of the forbidden zone, a few specks of starlight faintly surged."

"Obviously, the depths of the God's Forbidden Land still hold a significant secret."

"But obviously, this is not something Ta Ke can currently reach."

"This is roughly the place."

"Carefully following the feedback from the Steam Star Net, Ta Ke looked left and right for a moment, then took out the Star Nest Gate to begin probing the ritual."

"The shifting position of that floating star nest is quite strange; if it were stable in a certain area, I'd be more confident of catching it."

"Too bad…… the mysterious floating island star nest's movements are too mysterious."

"I hope this Star Nest Gate will hit the mark in one go."

"As Ta Ke carried out the Star Nest Gate ritual that possesses part of the Great Gate."

"A gloomy, obscure surveillance twined silently around Ta Ke's heart."

"Around, moreover, many shadowy outlines of dead remains appeared."

"Ta Ke was no longer surprised by this."

"That mysterious Green Star Clan entity called the Star Void Prophet has already surveilled Ta Ke more than once or twice."

"Just as the Starlight Giant Se La Fu said."

"The death war against Ta Ke is underway!"

"Too bad!"

"In the Steam Star Net's ecological zone within the God's Forbidden Land, Ta Ke's steam ecology foundation is solid."

"Even if the Star Void Prophet could scout Ta Ke, they would not dare to easily hunt him down."

"The powerful Star Net is not something that can be opposed merely by stacking numbers of legendary powerhouses."

"Precisely because he possesses the Steam Star Net ecology, Ta Ke dares to massively slaughter the Green Star Clan's legendary powerhouses."

"Clang clang…… clang clang……"

"As the Star Nest Gate ritual was activated, the Star Nest Gate, refined from stone, metal, wood and other materials and over ten meters high, began to shake violently."

"Even the door frame seemed about to shake apart."

"Ta Ke's activation of the gate ritual suffered strong interference."

"The corner of his eye glanced over the writhing remains and the cold gaze; expressionless, Ta Ke slowly ended this ritual."

"At the same time, the Star Void Prophet's sense of surveillance also silently faded."

"When the ritual ended, Ta Ke's attention was on the Star Nest Gate."

"Only then did he discover that the Star Nest Gate had been stained with a gloomy, weird dark aura unlike before."

"Interesting!"

"His eyes slightly narrowed as he examined the gloomy, weird dark aura; Ta Ke gave a low chuckle."

"These gloomy, weird threads extend outward yet vanish into nothingness, even in deeper high-dimensional contextual layers."

"But…… I hope your fate, or rather the power of divination and insight, can be stronger, for only then can you keep up with my pace."

He took a deep breath, and Ta Ke directly entered the Divine Realm·Mystic Ancient House.

Outside, the Steam Star Network is mostly a steam ecology that borrows the ecological power of external star networks.

In the end, it still belongs to external forces, and Ta Ke's foundation is not deep.

But within the Divine Realm·Mystic Ancient House, it is different.

Here is the origin ecology of the divine spirit realm ecosystem that Ta Ke painstakingly forged.

Not only the Legendary Star Ecology, the Master Star Ecology is also here.

Even the massive semi‑divine artifacts and various materials Ta Ke has obtained are poured into this ecology, and the astonishingly potential‑filled Steam·Mechanical tribe draws on the semi‑artifacts, thriving and developing.

Under the nurturing of more than twenty Steam·Chaos Star Cores, the outline of the Divine Realm begins to emerge.

Inside this Mystic Ancient House, when Ta Ke once again initiates the Star Nest Gate Ceremony.

The familiar sense of being watched rolls back.

But this time, Ta Ke will not indulge the other party.

The great power of the Divine Realm ecology and the scorching Chaos Star Core directly follow that watching thread and brutally drown the past.

Like watching? Then take a close look at my Steam Blazing Sun!

A concealed ecological convergence zone.

A thick, settled blood‑colored jade altar, upon which various bubbling legendary blood is scattered.

Around it lie some legendary corpses, as well as some demi‑god corpses they brought from the outside.

A powerful ceremony is underway.

The threads of death intertwine and gather deep within the altar, anchoring on the figure despised by the Spirit Green Star Clan.

Meanwhile.

Above the altar soaked with legendary hemostatic blood, white thick smoke erupts like a volcano, accompanied by a "Sizzle!" sound.

Not only is the altar scorched by hot smoke.

Even the Star Void Prophet, seated in the void with a semi‑transparent body, its pupils emit a "Sizzle!" as green scorching smoke continuously seeps out.

But the Star Void Prophet ignores it.

Instead, it whispers joyously in a low voice!

"Chaos Star Core! Indeed, it is a Chaos Star Core."

"And… the one about to perish still has many."

"The great deity has already brought this scene to pass."

"Chaos Star Core… this will become a crucial part of burying you."

The low‑whispering Star Void Prophet becomes increasingly insubstantial, its visage ever more ferocious!
