Silence.
The mysterious starry sky was utterly silent, except for the Golden-Horned Giant Beast, there were no other living beings.
“Regardless of anything else, I must first immediately restore my divine body. Only by becoming stronger can I better handle the dangers.” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast instantly began to grow, expanding from over a meter long to a length of one hundred thousand kilometers. It hovered above the starry sky. It should be noted that the diameter of the planet was only slightly over twenty thousand kilometers.
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast was larger than the planet itself.
“Gifted Secret Method—Devouring!” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast opened its mouth, and instantly the space around the entire planet twisted completely. If it wished, it could swallow the entire planet in one bite. However, the Golden-Horned Giant Beast felt that destroying such a precious Star-Tear Gold ore planet would be a great pity. So it controlled the scale of its devouring. Countless Star-Tear Gold ores flew out, and the Star-Tear Gold metal, mixed with some debris, surged into the mouth of the Golden-Horned Giant Beast.
Like a black hole, endlessly devouring.
Once the Star-Tear Gold and rocks entered the Golden-Horned Giant Beast’s body, they were completely absorbed, transforming into streams of golden divine power, continuously restoring the Golden-Horned Giant Beast’s divine body.
…
A short while later.
Nearly half of the Star-Tear Gold ore veins on this planet had been devoured when the Golden-Horned Giant Beast stopped. At this time, its divine body had just recovered slightly over 60%.
“Next planet.” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast flew directly toward another nearby planet, once again devouring the Void Stone ore veins. It devoured nearly half of the Void Stone ore veins on the entire planet, and when its divine body recovered to 80%, it proceeded to the third planet…
As expected.
The third planet had equally precious ‘Barium-Yaun Corrosion Crystal lakes.’ Barium-Yaun Corrosion Crystals were a kind of black liquid metal that sparkled with tiny starlight, similar to mercury. On this third planet, there were three massive super lakes, covering 90% of the entire planet’s surface, all composed of Barium-Yaun Corrosion Crystals.
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast drank up one of the large lakes in one breath, and its divine body was completely restored.
“Incredible.”
Hovering in the outer space of the third planet, gazing afar at this mysterious starry sky.
“I can sense the fourth planet too… There’s more! In this single star system, there are twelve major planets, likely all containing precious treasures.” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast looked into the distance. “If just one star system is like this, what about the other star systems?” As far as the eye could see, countless star systems were very close to each other.
Forming beautiful patterns of mysterious runes that shocked Luo Feng, the entire starry sky resembled a massive cosmic rune diagram.
…
Though mysterious and beautiful, it was also extremely desolate, without any other living beings.
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast flew to the fourth and fifth planets, carefully exploring each planet one by one… wanting to uncover what secrets this starry sky held.
“Boom!”
A powerful aura erupted from the third closest planet to the star, spreading outward at a speed of 30 million kilometers per second. In a short while, it caught the attention of the Golden-Horned Giant Beast on the fifth closest planet.
“It’s divine power!”
“A very strong divine power aura, probably from a Cosmic Sovereign.” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast raised its head toward that direction, then immediately flapped its wings and flew rapidly toward it.
Flying through space.
As its speed continuously increased, gradually, the Golden-Horned Giant Beast saw a towering figure rapidly approaching from that direction.
…
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast maintained a massive divine body over a thousand kilometers long, while from another direction, a huge divine body about a hundred kilometers long was flying toward it.
“This, this is…” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast was shocked as it looked at that alien Cosmic Sovereign. It was a reptilian lifeform with dark scales and six massive legs as thick as celestial pillars—the Starry Sky Beast ‘Zhen.’ The Starry Sky Beast ‘Zhen’ was considered part of the second echelon among the Starry Sky Beasts.
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast and Zhen were flying toward each other.
“Golden-Horned Giant Beast.”
“Zhen.”
Their auras were mighty, as the two powerful beings met in the starry sky.
“You’re here too?” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast spoke in a deep voice.
“Because you are here, I came.” Zhen growled. “I was sent by the Starry Sky Beast Alliance to guide you. Come with me.”
“What, what?” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast was stunned.
Luo Feng was truly shocked. He had previously assumed that this Starry Sky Beast was also trapped in this desolate place, but now it seemed that it had been sent by the Starry Sky Beast Alliance to guide him.
“Is this starry sky part of our Starry Sky Beast Alliance?” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast asked.
“Of course.”
Zhen slightly nodded its head, which was covered in a shield-like armor. “This starry sky is specifically cultivated by our Starry Sky Beast Alliance with countless precious resources. I already know that you have devoured some ore veins, which belong to our Starry Sky Beast Alliance. These ores are generally forbidden from being taken away by individuals. However, since you were unaware of the regulations, the Alliance will not punish you for it. Moreover, you have wandered the universe for an extremely long time and have just returned. The Alliance will not punish our own kin.”
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast blinked.
“This so-called desolate place?” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast was somewhat confused.
“This is the most sacred place controlled by the greatest being of our Starry Sky Beast Alliance, the ‘Ancestor.’ It is also the most important holy land for us Starry Sky Beasts.” Zhen growled. “The Ancestor is one of the greatest beings in the universe. He has completely altered the rules of this starry sky, making them entirely different from the laws of other parts of the universe.”
“Ancestor…”
Luo Feng understood that the Ancestor should be one of the strongest beings in the universe.
“Are we still in the original universe?” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast asked urgently.
“Yes.” Zhen explained. “However, this starry sky is almost completely isolated from the outside! Only wormholes can be used for transportation.”
“To prevent alien invasions, this starry sky is divided into ‘Outer Starry Sky’ and ‘Inner Starry Sky.’ The Outer Starry Sky is the area where those alien races are trapped, having been confined there for endless eons. The Inner Starry Sky… is hidden within. You should have entered through a ripple in the starry sky, right? Only our Starry Sky Beasts can enter without being killed. Aliens can’t even detect it, let alone enter.”
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast understood.
The desolate place was merely an outer buffer zone of the Starry Sky Beast Alliance’s holy land.
“How did you come here?” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast asked further. “In this starry sky, teleportation and divine nation transportation are impossible. How did you suddenly appear?”
“We Starry Sky Beasts rarely descend into this starry sky. We are usually in the core of the starry sky, which is also the sacred core of our Starry Sky Beast Alliance—the Starry Mountain.” Zhen growled. “I received orders, so I was specially sent to guide you and was directly teleported to that planet just now.”
“In this starry sky, among the many planets of each star system, there is one planet that contains a ‘wormhole’ inside it, directly leading to the Starry Mountain.” Zhen growled.
“Each star system has a wormhole?” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast was surprised.
“Yes. The Ancestor’s power is boundless. Creating wormholes is merely a simple task.” Zhen said. “Come on, the supreme beings of the Alliance are waiting to see you.”
“Alright.”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two towering figures flew across the starry sky, heading toward the third closest planet to the star.
“Golden-Horned Giant Beast, can your divine body be smaller? Shrink a bit.” Zhen roared.
“Alright.”
While flying, the Golden-Horned Giant Beast transformed into a size of over a hundred kilometers long, nearly matching Zhen’s size. The two continued to converse as they flew toward the planet.
…
Upon reaching the planet, both quickly shrank to a few meters in size, and along a deep, dark cave, they directly arrived at nearly the core of the planet’s underground.
“This is the wormhole. Passing through it will take you to the Starry Mountain.” Zhen said.
“Let’s go.” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast was also filled with anticipation, looking at the spatial vortex before him. The spatial vortex was only tens of meters in diameter and remained stably present.
Zhen and the Golden-Horned Giant Beast flew into the spatial vortex one after the other.
…
This was a vast starry sky filled with densely packed spatial vortices. Each spatial vortex was not large, only tens of meters in diameter! But there were so many of them… densely packed, as far as the eye could see, almost surrounding this starry sky. At the center of countless spatial vortices in this starry sky was a towering mountain range.
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast and Zhen emerged simultaneously from a spatial vortex.
“This…” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast was shocked as he looked at the scene before him. Countless spatial vortices were scattered across the starry sky, like little flowers surrounding the great mountain.
Jet-black mountains!
This was a colossal mountain range several light-years high, a mountain range so immense that it could rival the ‘Star Tower’ or the ‘Ancestor Religion’s Old Lair.’
This jet-black mountain range floated in space.
Faintly, one could sense powerful auras emanating from it, and occasionally, some Starry Sky Beasts could be seen flying within.
“See that? All the great beings of our Starry Sky Beast Alliance, whether Cosmic Sovereigns or the mighty Ancestor… they all live there!” Zhen roared, his eyes filled with pride. “This is our Alliance’s holy land, the sacred land of our Starry Sky Beasts—the Starry Mountain!”
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast was deeply moved.
“The Starry Mountain is home to countless powerful beings, treasures, and inheritances, possessing everything imaginable, even connecting to an entire universe.” Zhen roared. “That is a universe entirely belonging to us Starry Sky Beasts.”
“A universe?” The Golden-Horned Giant Beast was shocked.
“Yes.” Zhen said proudly. “A universe! A universe entirely belonging to us Starry Sky Beasts. Come on, let’s go to the Starry Mountain. Every wanderer returning from the universe must go there. Once accepted by the Starry Mountain, you will become one of us! This is also how we eliminate those aliens… because some of our Starry Sky Beast Alliance’s children have been possessed by aliens and are hard to identify. However, at the Starry Mountain, everything will be revealed.”
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast was secretly alarmed.
Not good!
“Come on, several of our Cosmic Sovereigns are already waiting to meet you.” Zhen urged, then looked toward the distant endless mountain range. “Look, there are powerful beings coming to greet us.”
The Golden-Horned Giant Beast looked.
In the distance, several massive Golden-Horned Giant Beasts were flying toward them, their powerful auras spreading out.
“They are the powerful ones from your Golden-Horned Giant Beast lineage.” Zhen spoke.
