Chapter 2093 - 1654: Absorbing the Silver Coin into the Nether River Council

Chapter 2093: Chapter 1654: Absorbing the Silver Coin into the Nether River Council

Negris never thought that even the Star Body would be unable to withstand it.

The Star Body is not simply material; it’s formed by the Black Crystal Bone infused with augmentative increments. To bend and crush it, all the body’s increments must be consumed.

So, what bears the pressure of the Divine Star isn’t the bone itself, but the increments. Yet, from the looks of it, the weight seems capable of bursting the Star Body directly.

Ange also realized he couldn’t dive any deeper, so he stopped at this depth and mobilized all his increments.

Ange transformed from a Cold Star to a Time-Space Ancient Dragon, then from a Time-Space Ancient Dragon to a Star Skeleton. The Cold Star has a large amount of increments, but they can’t directly enter the Star Body.

The transformed Star Body requires increments to be projected from elsewhere.

However, it’s quite convenient to project them, as the two are originally one entity; it’s just a change in form. Projecting increments is like switching from left hand to right hand, with absolutely no loss.

With a thought, more stars appeared in Ange’s skeleton and surged into the entire skeleton.

The originally pitch-black Black Crystal Bone, despite having starry specks, was mostly black with few specks. But as a large amount of increments poured in, filling every gap, it turned into many specks with little black. The black body now looked silver and shiny, with the stars slowly rotating inside, resplendent with flowing light.

Ange’s bones no longer creaked, but Ange wasn’t satisfied. He instead tried to push the Star Attraction out of his body, attempting Star Protection.

However, the enormous pressure inside the Divine Star pressed against Ange’s Star Attraction, preventing it from being pushed out of his body.

Ange was in no hurry, slowly mobilizing increments to fill his body.

Right now, he has several Divine Stars as support, starting with the Cold Star, which originally had sixteen times the mass of Little Firemen.

The two Divine Stars together with the Cold Star are relatively young, with very high increment abundance. This means he can now mobilize increments from at least three Divine Stars, each with sixteen times the increment of Little Firemen.

Aside from that, there’s also Little Fireman, Gemez Fortress, and Abyssal Big Mouth.

Abyssal Big Mouth is a newly born Divine Star. Although Gemez Fortress and Little Fireman have some age, compared to external Divine Stars, they’re nearly like infants, filled to the brim with increments.

Ange didn’t believe that the increments from five Divine Stars couldn’t withstand the pressure here. Moreover, he didn’t need all five; the increments from just the Cold Star were more than enough to explode a four thousand meters tall Star Body.

The pressure inside general Divine Stars isn’t this intense. It’s entirely because the Sixth Divine Star is related to the Giant God Star.

Thus, it became a tug-of-war. Ange delivered increments, continuously enhancing his endurance, and slowly dove deeper. Each enhancement let him dive a few meters more.

Several days passed, and Ange maintained the same progress, diving over a dozen meters every day, while his increments increased, and the strength of his Star Attraction grew.

Nagri said, "It seems this can’t be resolved anytime soon."

Anthony and the others nodded. If it were easily resolved, they would be surprised instead.

Solving the feat of injecting increments into aging Divine Stars would be tremendously significant, capable of even reversing the entire balance of power in the Void.

There’s no telling how many aging Divine Stars lie in the Void, like the previous Dis and the current Sixth Divine Star, and countless Giant God Stars. Even Lania, wouldn’t Lania wish to extend his lifespan?

If Ange’s ability to prolong the lifespan of Divine Stars is revealed, what wouldn’t he be able to exchange it for? Perhaps some aging Divine Stars at the end of their lifespan would actively submit to Ange, offering their souls and begging for life extension.

This would be a major breakthrough that alters the entire power balance of the Void, and surely not an easy task to complete. If it were easy, wouldn’t others have done it already?

"Where is Kelanis now?" Realizing the short-term impossibility, Anthony shifted his focus elsewhere, as they couldn’t just wait there forever.

Ursman said, "They’re around here, but they can’t find the precise location of the Sixth Divine Star. People are being sent to search."

Anthony said, "Let’s go intercept them. If we can’t deal with Kelanis, can’t we at least take out the searchers?"

"But won’t intercepting them expose our location? If they’re intercepted, the direction they were attacked from will surely become their focus of attention," Ursman said.

"That’s why we’ll intercept from another direction, leaving the others alone, to see if we can lead them elsewhere," Anthony said.

After the discussion, the group immediately set out.

Their biggest advantage now is having Kelanis’ exact location. With the silver coin serving as a lookout, the opponent can’t escape their perception no matter how they move.

Thus, five Ghost Guides circled in another direction and started intercepting the Star Descendants sent out to search.

Star Descendants are no match for the Ghost Guides. Within the resource zone, there’s no sight; they can only discover the opponent when they encounter them and can’t even run away.

Large numbers of Star Descendants in one direction were sniped. Naturally, Kelanis assumed there was something going on there and immediately dispatched more Star Descendants to intensify the search in that direction.

On Kelanis’ body, near the root area of the All World Divine Book, there was a special type of tree tumor. Inside the pits of the tumor, dozens of creatures were wrapped in bark, with only their heads exposed.

Among these creatures were Star Descendants, humans, Goblins, and some unrecognized species, but the most numerous were the ’elephants’ Kelanis had presented at the time. Called elephants, they were actually four-limbed creatures with a single appendage growing from the front of their heads, looking somewhat like elephants but of an entirely different species.

All these creatures were wrapped in the bark, with only their heads exposed. Among the humans, those with eyes, their eyes were white and lifeless, appearing as though they weren’t alive.

Yet these Living Dead heads were speaking: "Something’s not right. Why are the Ghost Guides only sniping Star Descendants in one direction?"

A prominently formed head said, "Perhaps they’re in that direction."

The human head said, "If they were in that direction, shouldn’t they be trying to hide? Why would they so blatantly attack in one direction? Are they trying to lure us there?"

As the head said, "Makes sense, so we should intensify our searches in other directions, especially where the Sixth Divine Star originally was. Though they moved the Sixth Divine Star, they definitely couldn’t have gone too far."

"Be careful," said the human head. "We set a trap with the body of the Sixth Divine Star; they might do the same with it for us. Finding the body’s useless, it’s better to first find the Ghost Guides."

Hearing this, Kelanis was startled, not having considered this possibility. If the opponents set up a trap involving the Sixth Divine Star’s body, approaching it and getting blown up wouldn’t leave him unscathed either.

Despite his fright, Kelanis couldn’t help feeling fortunate for collecting so many intelligent resources.

These heads were wise beings Kelanis collected over the years, grafted to the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms, with the tree providing them nutrients, granting them immortality.

But each became part of the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms, destined to think forever without freedom.

Of course, the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms doesn’t have that ability, but the tree part wrapping them isn’t the same; it’s a parasitic plant.

The parasitic plant latched onto the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms, undistinguishable from the tree by everyone except Kelanis.

This parasitic plant lived on the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms and also on those heads, achieving a grafting effect.

After discussing the Ghost Guides, Kalania launched another topic and said, "I’ve discovered a Star Descendant, once a descendant of the Sixth Divine Star, very skilled in gathering intelligence. Not long after arriving here, they’ve already established several intelligence agencies. I’m considering absorbing him into the Nether River Council."
