Chapter 1362 - 379: Star-Eating Entity_2

Chen Ming has already thought of a way to lure the Star-devouring creature out.

By using Stellar Material.

The Star-devouring creature feeds on stars, so it must be familiar with changes in them.

If an unknown disappearance of Stellar Material were to occur, as long as this creature has some intelligence, it would definitely come to investigate the cause.

Chen Ming just happens to know how to transfer the interior Stellar Material.

And it was taught to him by the Mechanical Race in the past.

The Mechanical Race once used the reverse matter teleportation device to transfer Stellar Material from inside stars to their planet in an attempt to kill him.

Back then, Chen Ming lost an arm directly because of the Stellar Material but managed to control the device, mastering its manufacturing.

It’s just right for use now.

This reverse matter teleportation device does have some shortcomings.

For instance, when teleporting matter, it can only teleport a tiny area, only non-living things, and has an extremely high energy consumption.

Before, the Mechanical Race spent an unknown amount of time setting it up, and equipped with an Antimatter Engine, managed to transfer less than half a cubic meter of Stellar Material.

The effects were just average.

But Chen Ming is different; he also masters Antimatter Technology and currently has what seems to be an inexhaustible energy supply.

As long as the device runs long enough, drawing massive amounts of Stellar Material, it can surely reach a level that the creature will notice.

Additionally, Chen Ming actually has another way to attract the Star-devouring creature.

Which is to wait.

Right now, there’s a wormhole that just left the Black Hole and is on its way here.

Chen Ming wants to see if the creature in the star will react once the wormhole arrives.

If it emerges because of the wormhole, that’s best. But if it doesn’t, Chen Ming really ought to prepare the Stellar Material transfer device.

Chen Ming has also considered the Survivors.

They might have news about this star-eating creature.

After all, the Black Hole where the wormhole originated isn’t even five light-years from this Star System.

Even if the Star-devouring creature had arrived here only five years ago, Chen Ming believes that Survivors keeping an eye on the wormhole and nearby Black Hole would surely have noticed its presence in the Star System.

However, Chen Ming did not approach them.

If there’s a way forward, he thinks it’s best to avoid getting involved with the Survivors.

To him, the Survivors’ intentions are obvious; they want to revive the Shimmering Civilization.

They are also aware that the Empire absolutely wants to take all tangible and technical relics from the Survivors at once.

For now, the Empire and Survivors each have needs, so they maintain a fa?ade of peace.

Should an opportunity arise, both sides will do their utmost to send each other packing.

Hence, Chen Ming avoids getting deeply entangled with them.

His allegiance firmly sits with humanity.

If he truly needs something, he could just finish off the Survivors later and take it from them.

Chen Ming decided not to prepare any more plans; what he has now is enough.

He immediately began arranging his plan concerning the Star-devouring creature within the star.

Half a day quickly passed.

Chen Ming appeared on the Supreme Point, which he had handed over to the Climate Transformation Department.

To prevent any dangers unknown to those researchers responsible for climate change, he contacted the Minister ahead of time to bring everyone back onboard the spaceship.

At least until the wormhole arrives and his initial operation ends, the researchers should stay in safety.

The half-day that just passed was ample for them to gather data to analyze Gaia Planet.

Meanwhile, the Minister stayed with Chen Ming in the captain’s room awaiting.

He was an ordinary person, yet eager to witness; thus, he specially asked Chen Ming to allow him.

Chen Ming didn’t mind being kindly to his collaborators, so he stayed here, making idle conversation with the Minister.

After all, he had long prepared thoroughly.

Not just facilities for extracting Stellar Material, but also fleets prepared to confront the Star-devouring.

The Star-devouring creature is twice as large as the Plane Nightmare; therefore, the fleet must be expanded accordingly.

It only takes Chen Ming a word for the Insect Queen to prepare all required.

The same attack methods should not be ineffective.

Let’s see what specials this Star-devouring creature has over the Plane Nightmare.

The sensor’s screen suddenly altered, as the wormhole had come within sensor range.

Though having witnessed this odd celestial body before, seeing a wormhole darting around still shook the Minister beside Chen Ming.

He wished to speak but opted for silence upon noticing Chen Ming’s now serious expression.

As the wormhole approached Gaia Star System, it started slowing down, gradually entering the system and a rotating orbit around the star.

The orbit it entered perfectly corresponded with the real Gaia Planet’s orbital path around the star.

It also happened to be positioned opposite to Gaia Planet.

Exactly identical to the other end of the wormhole.

The other end of the wormhole’s orbit is on the opposite side of a typical habitable planet, which Chen Ming named Gaia.
