Red Star Fragnt mini
This wasn't Chen Ling's first ti coming to the landing point of a Red Star Fragnt.
The Nine Monarchs' exploration was the starting point of everything, and also Chen Ling's first impression of a Red Star Fragnt. Chen Ling rembered very clearly that at the ti, a massive teorite Crater was situated among the mountains of Shennongjia. Standing at the edge of the crater, one still had to walk for a long ti to reach the landing point of the fragnt...
But the teorite Crater before him was much too small. With a single glance, Chen Ling could take in the entire area. He made a rough estimate in his heart; the scale of this place was probably not even one-tenth of the Shennongjia teorite Crater.
"After it fell, didn't any Anomalies occur?" Chen Ling asked Shen Qingzhu as he walked.
Back then, after that Red Star Fragnt in Shennongjia fell, a large number of wild beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests were affected by it, gaining extraordinary power. Even the space beca disordered, forming a cyclical area similar to a ghost wall.
And after the Scarlet Heaven Cult obtained the Red Star Fragnt, even their human body structures underwent abnormal changes. Not only did it cause an irreversible retrogression of civilization, but even their language ability degenerated.
"There should be," Shen Qingzhu answered calmly. "However, after it fell, my power has been constantly suppressing it, and there are no other living beings nearby, so its impact is also very limited."
The wildly fluttering ash-like snowflakes still covered every corner of this area, which also included the location of that Red Star Fragnt. Seeing this scene, Chen Ling's heart beca clear. Since Shen Qingzhu could even suppress a complete Nine Monarch, suppressing a small-sized Red Star Fragnt naturally wasn't very difficult.
As the two of them approached, Chen Ling finally saw clearly what that Red Star Fragnt looked like.
Just as Shen Qingzhu said, this Red Star Fragnt was indeed not large. It was even so small it was a bit... cute?
The one in Shennongjia was a true large teorite, like a small mountain. But this piece before him was only the size of a basketball. It was deeply embedded into the earth of the Civilization Embers. Spiderweb-like cracks were branded on the surface. If one looked closely, they could even see wisps of bizarre red aura churning within these cracks.
"This... is a bit too small, isn't it?" Chen Ling was sowhat speechless.
Chen Ling had originally thought that if there was a Red Star Fragnt of similar size, even if it was only one-tenth of the original piece, he might be able to create another Nine Monarch... But looking at it now, the volu of this fragnt was barely enough to create half a Nine Monarch.
What is this?
A Red Star Fragnt mini??
"I told you in advance, don't hold too much expectation." Shen Qingzhu slowly spoke. "There were quite a few fragnts that flew out after the Red Star was hit, but the only one that fell back to Earth is indeed this one."
"Then what about the other fragnts? Did they all fly into the depths of the universe? Is there still any possibility of recovering them?"
Chen Ling had figured it out. The only thing that could contend against the Red Star was the Red Star itself. Since the Red Star could create World-Ending Calamities and humanity's Nine Monarchs, if he collected more fragnts, perhaps there wouldn't be no chance for a counter-kill against the Red Star.
"So were captured by the gravitational fields of other planets and fell on their surfaces; so had secondary collisions with satellites around planets, completely turning into crushed stones; others fell directly into the sun... In short, there is basically no possibility of recovering those scraps." Shen Qingzhu shook his head.
Chen Ling let out a light sigh, completely giving up on this idea.
He walked straight up to that Red Star Fragnt, crouched down, and reached out to touch its surface...
"Don't touch." Shen Qingzhu suddenly spoke.
Chen Ling's hand froze in mid-air.
"Why?"
"You are not the Nine Monarchs of back then. The current you already has a large, complete piece of the Red Star Fragnt within your body... You have already reached the critical point of this world. Rashly absorbing so much Red Star Aspiration Power all at once will only lead to two ends." Shen Qingzhu's tone was extrely serious,
"Either, you get blown up directly; or like the past , you exceed the critical point of this world and beco an existence rejected by it."
Chen Ling froze. Looking at this basketball-sized fragnt before his eyes, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
The "large, complete piece of the Red Star Fragnt" Shen Qingzhu ntioned should be referring to Mockery... Indeed, Mockery's power originally ca from a much larger Red Star Fragnt than the ones absorbed by the Nine Monarchs, and this had already made it the pinnacle of this world.
If he absorbed another fragnt, even if it was just basketball-sized, it might cause unimaginable consequences for Chen Ling...
For example, breaking through the limit of Rank 9?
But whether Rank 9 could be broken through was still unknown. Perhaps, like humans becoming gods, it also required fulfilling conditions similar to Divine Path Certification? If he couldn't fulfill the conditions, then he would beco a balloon constantly being injected with water. The elasticity of the balloon itself hadn't increased, yet a large amount of water was injected in one breath. The ultimate result would naturally be bursting open.
As for the best result, that would be becoming an existence that broke through the limit of this world, and then like the past Shen Qingzhu, being squeezed out by this world, unable to even judge where he would be the next second...
Absorbing Red Star Aspiration Power from Scarlet Heaven Cultists was still different from directly absorbing a Red Star Fragnt... The Aspiration Power within those Scarlet Heaven Cultists was in wisps. Absorbing it step by step was naturally a supplent and wouldn't directly exceed the critical value. But directly absorbing an entire fragnt was still too dangerous.
Thinking of this, Chen Ling still withdrew his palm.
He looked at the Red Star Fragnt before him, his gaze sowhat complex...
Clearly, powerful strength was right before his eyes, yet he could only stare helplessly at it. This feeling of being left hanging was truly uncomfortable.
A sudden inspiration struck him, and he asked again:
"Then what if I absorb it bit by bit?"
"If you control the total amount well, it should be no problem." Shen Qingzhu looked at him in astonishnt. "What do you want to do?"
Chen Ling took out a Bone-Stripping Knife from his sleeve and violently slashed at the edge of that Red Star Fragnt!
Clang——!!
The blade of the Bone-Stripping Knife touched the fragnt, letting out a crisp buzz...
However, only a shallow white mark was left on the surface of the Red Star Fragnt.
Chen Ling: ...
Chen Ling originally thought that since this fragnt was so large, why not cut a piece off and absorb it slowly? But he absolutely didn't expect that with his current power, he actually couldn't even chop off a corner of the fragnt?
Seeing this, Shen Qingzhu raised an eyebrow, seemingly understanding Chen Ling's thought. He put his index and middle fingers together and swiped at the fragnt from a distance.
Swish——
A thumb-sized remnant was neatly severed from the edge of the fragnt.
"Here, take it." Shen Qingzhu raised his chin.
Chen Ling cast a grateful look at Shen Qingzhu. Although the other party looked cold and difficult to approach, he seed quite warm-hearted... He and Shen Qingzhu had only t twice in total, but not only was the other party willing to take action to save him, he also saved the residents of the Eternal Domain. As long as he saw him encountering so trouble, he was always willing to lend a helping hand, and didn't seek any returns at all...
At most, it was just asking for two packs of cigarettes.
