This ochre-colored planet was about the size of Blue Star.
The color emanated naturally due to the ecological collapse of the planet, and the desertification of its surface.
Sands flew everywhere, and the attire of the residents was wholly of desert style, complete with long robes and headscarves.
At this mont, the effect of "Shared Sorrow" was gradually fading, and the populace regained their senses, causing an uproar.
They held crystal slabs, tapping with their fingers like operating smartphones, searching for related news.
["The sadness enveloping the entire planet signifies at least the death of two Star Seeds."]
["Yet our ’Overlord Star’s’ three Star Seeds had just conquered a planet, and were streaming the sacrificial rites live."]
On their devices, a massacre was played out where countless soldiers, wielding weapons akin to laser guns, fired into massive crowds.
The beams easily blasted through human bodies, and within just a few shots, tens of thousands perished horribly.
The comnts were filled with cheers and applause. There were also three n—blue-haired, blue-eyed, dressed in white streamlined full-body armor—kneeling and praying devoutly:
"Praise the Immortal ’Primordial.’ Your seeds herein offer these sacrifices, praying to alleviate your Hunger."
Within a few short prayers, millions, even hundreds of millions of humanoid captives were reduced to pulp.
The populace of "Overlord Star," assured that their own Star Seeds were unhard, grew increasingly curious about what really happened.
In fact, it had been conservatively estimated that Yahweh and Satan had gone to Blue Star about 3,000 years ago.
Few on the Mother Star rembered them anymore... but the high echelons surely had a notion.
Not long after, the effect of "Shared Sorrow" completely dissipated.
One by one, city-sized flying ships ascended into the sky, their forms blurred montarily, then abruptly vanished.
"It’s the Lord’s guard! Sothing big must have happened!"
"The warships’ destination for warp travel is Authority Star... The Lord went to the capital to seek counsel!"
The public cried out in shock, rumors spread wildly, and so even uncovered more sensational news:
"The lords of Fierce Star and Fallen Star also headed to Capital Star, and soone saw... the Erosion Star God!"
"A Star God! A magnificent figure shining beside the ’Primordial’!"
"It must be the discovery of a new star system, a grand expedition is about to begin!"
"Conquer! Conquer! Aliens are rely fit to be turned into nutrients!"
Everyone was clamoring for battle, the entire planet boiled over, with continual deep tremors.
Suddenly, the crowd fell silent, their faces filled with shock... This "Starquake" was not their doing.
Then, the sky suddenly darkened.
Countless people looked up only to see the Sun being swallowed by a dark shadow... a total solar eclipse had occurred!
Sothing had to completely cover the star to create such a phenonon.
And the object moved swiftly, quickly leaving the orbit, allowing the Sun to shine once again.
Basked in the glorious sunlight, the people of "Overlord Star" finally saw what had passed by...
It was a middle-aged man, his hair casually draped, dressed in flowing white robes as if ethereal.
Visible to the entire planet and causing an eclipse, he was imnsely vast, resembling a celestial body.
Yet upon closer inspection, he resud normal size.
Such formlessness and shapelessness, this was the "Yang God."
The indigenous called him differently—Star God.
"It’s the White Dragon Star God, Wu Xu!"
"Why is he heading beyond the star system? Shouldn’t he be going to Capital Star?"
Billions watched as Wu Xu turned into a shooting star and disappeared from sight.
-----------------
Lu Li was unaware that he was about to receive an extraordinary visitor.
After returning to the surface with a few won, he first visited the Hua Mountain Sect... for inspection.
Qiu Sheng, acknowledging herself as a servant, also acknowledged Lu Li’s leadership.
Naturally, the Hua Mountain Immortal Sect she oversaw had to recognize its new progenitor.
Of course, for Lu Li, this was just incidental; his main purpose was to check the Qiu Family’s collection of scripts and docunts.
Just as the group landed at the mountain gate, Qiu Yan and Fairy Qiu, already notified, were waiting there with a large group of high-level mbers.
At that mont, he hurriedly took the lead in kneeling three tis and kowtowing nine tis, exclaiming, "We greet Lord Lu Tianjun, we greet the elder ancestor."
Qiu Yan dispelled all protective asures and truly knocked her head on the ground, covering her forehead with dust.
Yet she didn’t care about these minor details at all, only filled with disbelief!
Her own elder ancestor, the strongest person of their age, had actually submitted!
Weren’t they about to refine the Earth Core imdiately? How did they suddenly lose?
What exactly happened? Could this be a dream?
While performing the ritual, Qiu Yan knocked her head on the ground again, making sure she was awake.
As for the other elders and managers of the Hua Mountain Sect, they were even more stunned and couldn’t believe it.
But facts speak louder than words, their elder ancestor standing a step behind to the side of another person was truly a show of submission.
Fortunately, to save face for Qiu Sheng, they hadn’t forced her to wear a maid’s outfit, otherwise these people might not even manage to speak clearly.
Lu Li had no interest in the bunch of ants, and so did Qiu Sheng.
After the formalities were over, he led Lu Li and the others to "Lotus Peak."
This peak was extrely perilous, and no buildings like the Scripture Pavilion could be seen.
Qiu Sheng said, "The scriptures of our Hua Mountain Sect aren’t stored in palaces, but are recorded in the ’Immortal Palace’. ’Immortal Palace’, say hello."
As soon as her words fell, a cheerful female voice, transmitted through the Spirit, ca imdiately:
"Hello, everyone. I am the Immortal Palace. Today’s lowest temperature is 18 degrees; the highest is 27 degrees... Oh, the temperature isn’t important anymore. So many calves have died, the concentration of Spirit chanism has risen by 5 percentage points~"
The Immortal Palace spoke with increasing excitent, and everyone instinctively looked up towards the vault of heaven.
Hovering 36,000 kiloters in the planet’s synchronous orbit was an ancient-looking palace, precisely the actual body of the Immortal Palace.
Lu Li, who had previously faced an attack titled "Star Fall" from it, was now seeing it firsthand and beca very curious.
The Immortal Palace also complinted him:
"You’ve done well, but this world is still too weary. Hurry up and beco a Jinyang God, capture a planet and let it replenish itself."
Hearing this, Lu Li asked with interest, "Eat a planet? Can it be done that way?"
The Immortal Palace naturally said, "Of course, survival of the fittest. Even star systems devour each other."
"Indeed."
Lu Li rembered his ho area, where the Androda Galaxy was colliding towards the Milky Way at a speed of 300 kiloters per second.
In four billion years, a fierce battle would occur, and only one would survive, shining brighter and more vast than ever.
This Immortal Palace was quite interesting. Lu Li asked, "Are you artificial intelligence?"
"Nearly. I was originally the Artifact Spirit of the Xuanyuan Sword, which was shattered by the Primordial with a slap."
The Immortal Palace sighed first, then added fortuitously, "Luckily, a fragnt of the Residual Spirit was picked up by Qiu Sheng, allowing it to barely survive."
"Won’t you return to the Xuanyuan Sword?"
"I died once and only a fragnt of the spirit remains; after resurrection, it no longer matches the Xuanyuan Sword."
"I see."
After a round of questions, Lu Li asked the one he was most eager to learn:
"Do you know anything about Wu Xu and ’Primordial’?"
"The body of Primordial is a supermassive black hole, 24 million kiloters in diater, with a mass 4 million tis that of the Sun."
"Each star system has such a black hole born with the system. But Primordial sohow gained sentience, similar to inanimate objects coming to life."
"It’s pulling its star system around to devour others, it is an unprecedented super disaster."
"..."
Listening to all this, Lu Li was montarily speechless.
The faces of the other won also looked extrely distressed... Could such an enemy truly be stopped?
But the Immortal Palace had so ideas:
"Primordial was harshly dealt with by Shaohao, it won’t awake anyti soon. We still have ti, and if worst cos to worst, we can just wander with a planet."
Lu Li shook his head and smiled, "You’re quite optimistic."
"As long as we keep the green hills alive, we won’t fear running out of firewood. Oh, and about that bastard Wu Xu..."
The Immortal Palace was about to curse freely but suddenly halted, then exclaid:
"Crap! That bastard is coming!"
