Upon their first encounter, Supre Heaven bowed in thanks. Though his posture was humble, he quickly bridged the distance between them.
And since his power was almost on par with Erosion, and far inferior to Lu Li, he ought to be respectful.
Only that Lu Li didn’t really care about that.
He was looking at the planet beneath his feet, slightly surprised, "You haven’t taken this Spirit Star into your control?"
Lu Li had assud that "Bishen Star" was a Spirit Star exclusively bound to Supre Heaven, much like how "Fierce Star" was to Erosion.
But upon his arrival here, he discovered that this planet was... free.
"As you can see, I have not refined the Mother Star,"
Supre Heaven said, smilingly:
"Compared to the confined Consciousness Space, she would probably prefer to wander through the starry sea. To so extent, we should be of one mind."
Both Blue Stars were Spirit Stars, entirely possible to refine into the Spirit Realm to increase strength, yet Lu Li had never entertained such a thought.
In a way, there was so kindred spirit between the two, and Lu Li’s first impression of Supre Heaven was favorable.
Supre Heaven gestured toward the city and said,
"This is Happiness City, a treasure trove of Bishen Star’s stone carving art, let give you a tour."
The plan was to walk and talk, the guest to follow the lead of the host. Lu Li started strolling forward, entering the city side by side with the other.
"You know about the origin of the ’Primordial,’ right? No one would have imagined that a supermassive black hole could give birth to consciousness."
"Its body is 24 million kiloters in diater, its mass a hundred billion tis that of Bishen Star; it can easily Devour an entire Constant Star System."
"It’s quite similar to a whale feeding; whether celestial bodies or life forms, all fall into eternal darkness."
At this point, Supre Heaven seed a bit shaken, then he said with relief,
"Fortunately, your ancestor stepped in and severely injured the ’Primordial,’ causing It to fall into slumber and averting a Catastrophe."
Lu Li asked, "Slumber, which ans It’s not dead. When will It Awake?"
"No one dares to guarantee that, but I personally have so guesses."
Supre Heaven thought for a mont, then said:
"In fact, I am sowhat similar to the Primordial... At the beginning, I was a huge and beautiful erald, worshipped by the native civilization."
"Luckily, the civilization that worshipped lasted for ten thousand years."
"After all, civilizations are all too easily extinguished; nuclear power, teorites, stellar anomalies, any of them can cause a collapse."
"And ten thousand years of prayer allowed to develop a self... The Primordial likely went through a similar phase."
Supre Heaven spoke slowly:
"At first, Primordial only had instincts like a wild beast, Devouring celestial bodies. But then one day, It began to fancy souls."
"I rember it clearly, the dead souls gathered into a river spanning hundreds of light-years, slowly absorbed and savored by It."
"It was from then on that Its intelligence grew higher and higher! It could even manipulate Wu Xu to betray Shaohao!"
With this statent, Lu Li frowned, "Then doesn’t It already possess complete intelligence?"
"No, not yet."
Supre Heaven did not rush to say anything else but waved his hand instead.
won gracefully approached, lining up in two rows, kneeling to present an array of fine wines and drinks.
And these 18 won also hailed from different intelligent species, no two the sa.
Looking around the entire city, nearly a million inhabitants were female, with Supre Heaven as the sole male.
This so-called Happiness City was essentially a grand harem.
Supre Heaven picked up a glass of wine, drank it down in one gulp, closed his eyes to savor it carefully before speaking:
"The Divine Treasure Wine from Ophiuchus Star, rich and long-lasting, the epito of indulgence!"
"Having all these beauties around, this is what it ans to be alive."
Supre Heaven pinched the tail of a Snake Woman and scratched it twice before letting go and speaking to Lu Li:
"Only when you have desires, you’re truly alive and possess a self. Otherwise, even if you’re highly intelligent, you’re just a supercomputer."
Lu Li understood the other’s point and said, "So you’re saying that Primordial wants to truly co to life."
"That’s right, and even though Shaohao severely wounded It, the Devouring of his soul has actually accelerated this process."
Supre Heaven said seriously:
"Primordial will eventually awaken, and when that ti cos, we will face an invincible being with terrifying powers and a perfected personality."
Lu Li looked at the other and asked, "What do you an by that?"
"The gap is too great; we can only run."
Supre Heaven said succinctly, "I want to invite you on a journey with to deal with potential dangers in unfamiliar Star Domains."
After getting to know Lu Li’s character and actions, Supre Heaven was considering a partnership.
But Lu Li, sensing the Kunlun Mirror, thought of the "Cross-border" Divine Skills.
He couldn’t open a wormhole himself, but Primordial could, especially after Devouring Shaohao.
Running far would be useless, Lu Li decisively refused:
"I appreciate the thought, but I can’t leave. Besides, together, I would probably just drag you down."
Supre Heaven was at a loss for words to persuade him and had no choice but to give up.
"Then I can only wish you good luck. Is there anything you want to ask?"
"I want to know about Wu Xu’s situation."
"Wu Xu... He hasn’t been doing very well recently."
Supre Heaven said:
"The betrayal of close kin has caused him particular harm. Wu Xu has never fully recovered, and mournful cries are often heard from the Double Snake Star Domain where he resides."
Lu Li quickly pinpointed the location of the "Double Snake Star Domain," planning to seek it out... The distance was surprisingly far; it would take 10 days to arrive!
"That area is within the deep influence of Primordial; be extra careful."
Supre Heaven reminded him, "The Primordial Divine Country still has two Star Gods. Though they do not have a Spirit Star, they should not be underestimated."
Lu Li nodded his thanks, "I appreciate the information; I will take my leave now."
"What a decisive person..."
Supre Heaven sighed, "Although it might be useless to say, I still want to tell you, staying away from danger is how you live longer... May we et again if it’s ant to be."
Supre Heaven clearly didn’t approve of Lu Li’s actions, but Lu Li said nothing, nodded his farewell, and teleported away.
Now that he knew where Wu Xu was, and being in his best condition, Lu Li decided to go and settle things.
But at that mont, Xiaoyu, who had been sound asleep, suddenly woke up with a start!
"Lu Li, where are you?"
Dragon Girl was unusually anxious, Lu Li quickly revealed himself, "I’m here."
"I had a nightmare, but I’ve forgotten what it was about."
Xiaoyu picked up Lu Li and pulled him into her embrace, which cald her down.
Then she noticed they were in a strange Star Domain and casually asked, "Where are we now?"
Lu Li did not hide anything, "Bishen Star, there’s a Star God here who provided a lot of important information, including about Wu Xu."
"Oh."
Xiaoyu seed nonchalant, but her eyes were a bit dim.
Lu Li didn’t know how to comfort her, but fortunately, Su Qing woke up, holding her belly in shock and said:
"I, I’m pregnant... I can feel it, there’s sothing new..."
