Chapter 551: Spirit of the Star Core (Grand Finale)
Zhang Mu disappeared in this space, Hachikuju and Death Phoenix only now recovering their strength, hands on the ground, breathing heavily, eyes full of fear.
The power just now was the same despair they faced when dealing with the evolution ripples.
It was dark just now, and Zhang Mu suddenly realized he was probably transported away again.
When light appeared in front of him again, he saw a vast blue expanse.
He suddenly realized where he was.
The blue before Zhang Mu’s eyes was Earth!
He was in space!
“Hello, Star Spirit.”
A gentle voice came from beside Zhang Mu, as if he had found Zhang Mu and was very comfortable.
Although Zhang Mu was somewhat surprised at the moment, he wasn’t too shaken, as he had thought many times that this might be the outcome.
He knew it was only a matter of time before his secret of rebirth was discovered, but the title of Star Spirit puzzled him. Looking at the newcomer, he said, “Why do you call me by that name? Now that you’ve found me, you might as well explain.”
The newcomer was a young man who was once called the Master at the Era Store, surpassing No. 37.
Now, he was wearing a red and white striped robe, standing right in front of Zhang Mu.
Despite being only a foot away, Zhang Mu felt as if the man was in a distant starry sky.
“You can call me Red-White King, the ruler of this galaxy, including the 47th test site where you are. I found the 47th sentient planet on my domain.”
Ruler? Domain?
Zhang Mu no longer cared about the other’s threats, no matter how strong they were, he couldn’t escape.
What he most wanted to figure out now was what was going on.
“Shouldn’t I not have qualification to talk to you? I am only at a low level, and I don’t even know your rank.”
Upon hearing Zhang Mu’s words, Red-White King’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
“A normal low-level like you indeed doesn’t have the qualification to meet me. If a fifth-rank creature with comprehension of laws appears in this test field, I would be interested in discussing the possibility of joining me.
But you’re different, your status is much nobler than them.”
Zhang Mu felt uncomfortable looking into the other’s eyes, which seemed greedy and superior.
“Is it because I’m a Star Spirit?”
What Red-White King said next completely shocked Zhang Mu.
You can be seen as the spirit of this planet, but then again maybe not.
Every planet that can support life has a special Law of Life, and also has spirits.
What I’m looking for is planets with spirits, to awaken the potential of the creatures there, which is you, to help me absorb the spirit energy of this planet.
It took Zhang Mu a long time to accept this fact.
“So, the faster we evolve, the easier it is for you to gain the spirit of the earth?”
Is it our evolution that is causing the planet that created us to die out?”
The Red-White King chuckled lightly and said, “Yes, I’m just activating your desires, and your evolution is helping me absorb the surface spirit energy of this planet used for defense.
Working with Era Caravan is also for them to take away the surface spirit energy that I don’t need.”
Zhang Mu instinctively asked, “What is it that you want?”
“I want the Spirit of the Star Core of this planet.”
Then, the Red-White King looked Zhang Mu up and down with an approving gaze and said, “I never expected that the Spirit of the Star Core of your planet has grown to this extent. It has its own consciousness, and after sensing my presence, it brought a part of itself to you.
It’s its Star Core that traveled through The Long River of Time and brought you to the past, hoping to avoid my predation.”
Zhang Mu muttered to himself, “Is it that trigonal crystal? It’s what brought me back in time.”
“To be precise, it’s the crystal from that time. The one you have now is a copy I made to lure you.
If my guess is correct, this Spirit of the Star Core probably wants to borrow your identity and leave with the Era Caravan!”
Zhang Mu suddenly understood.
Yes, if he advances to the end, No. 37 can take him away!
“Your Era Merchant still tries to protect you, it’s like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!”
Number 37?
Zhang Mu’s emotions suddenly changed.
Did that guy ever try to protect me?
The Red-White King seemed to understand his thoughts and casually smiled, saying, “Someone who has just surpassed the fifth level, ambitious in studying the Law of Life, dares to be bold in front of me, he cannot save you.”
Zhang Mu’s emotions calmed down, and he replied slowly, “No, I never expected anyone to save me.”
The Red-White King looked at Zhang Mu, without making any comments, continued, “However, your Spirit of the Star Core did not realize that I had noticed something was wrong a long time ago. My red and white energies have been with you since you were young, and the Spirit of the Star Core should have realized this, always cutting off the connection between me and them, so you have survived until today.”
Unfortunately, the orders I gave them were to merge with you in body and soul, so the current you has already been corrupted by me halfway.
The Star Core’s power in you is minimal, I am sure it must be very disappointed.”
Disappointed, Zhang Mu suddenly recalled that distant sigh, as if something had left him, when was that.
It turns out to be it!
Zhang Mu finally remembered what happened when Star Core left him. Bloodvine had completely merged into his body again.
Red and white energies!
Red! It’s Bloodvine! Merging into his body!
What about the white one?
Suddenly, a white figure flashed before Zhang Mu’s eyes. Thinking about this possibility, Zhang Mu was on the edge of breaking down.
“White, is it… Yuan Rui?”
His body was blending with the Bloodvine.
His soul, now filled with Yuan Rui’s absence.
So, are they destroying themselves?
“Is my existence meant for your fighting?”
Zhang Mu suddenly felt like his whole life was a joke!
The Red-White King looked at him with pity and said, “In this vast universe, your strength at the fourth-rank initial stage is nothing but cosmic dust, unable to even leave your planet.
Without the Star Core, you are nothing.”
Suddenly, the Red-White King laughed.
“Do you know why I’m telling you all this? After speaking, I feel like my Red-White Qi’s devouring of you is about to end, and this beautiful planet is about to be devoured completely.
Can you feel this joy? Never mind, I won’t force you. When the power of the Star Core is exhausted, you will also perish here, coexisting with this stellar sea.”
He looked at Zhang Mu’s current bewildered expression and was very satisfied.
Zhang Mu struggled to say, “So Yuan Rui and Bloodvine are fake, were they just tricks to deceive me?”
Seeing that Zhang Mu was almost done, the Red-White King explained indifferently.
“That’s not the case, the Red and White energies only attach themselves to them, guiding their destinies closer to you. They themselves are not aware of it and do not have the intention.”
Isn’t that so?
That’s alright, that’s alright.
The Red-White King could already imagine the Red and White energies returning to him after Zhang Mu’s death, having consumed the power of the Star Core to his content.
But just as Zhang Mu was about to die, a golden sun suddenly slid across the sky, radiating brilliant light, even making it hard for the Red-White King to keep his eyes open.
However, when the light disappeared, Zhang Mu was no longer in his original position.
In the instant the Red-White King realized this, he erupted in anger, transformed into a tangible form, scorching the stars around him!
Someone surprisingly stole food from the tiger’s mouth and took away his treasures!
But the sun had already hidden all its light and escaped forcibly!
The Red-White King quickly chased after, trying hard to see who that audacious person was.
The one who took away the power of the Star Core with Zhang Mu was actually a bug?
