"Cang Ming, thanks for just now!"
Lu Chen relished the sensation of his own rapid growth before he rembered the existence of the old Constant Star, Cang Ming.
"I also thank you. Without you, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to absorb the Star Core this quickly!" Wandering, too, expressed gratitude.
Just now, while moving against the Constant Star Wind, Lu Chen had given many blank Intention particles to it, and now its Intention particles were as vast as an ocean, fully capable of freely controlling a tallic body with the mass of up to 20 planets.
The old Constant Star laughed heartily: "No need for thanks, I’ve already said I had no ill intentions, just an intense curiosity!"
"Sorry, I was too cautious just now."
Having received a favor, Lu Chen of course could not keep a stern face and offered his apologies.
"No need to apologize, I was rely stating my position. After all, it was indeed abrupt of to co, so it’s understandable for you to be vigilant. I hope my good intentions can clear up so misunderstandings!" the old Constant Star said steadily.
Wandering asked, "Cang Ming, you’re a Constant Star, how co you’re here alone? Don’t you have any planets you’ve captured?"
Throughout its journey, aside from that newly born blue Small Constant Star, Wandering had seen that all the Constant Stars had satellites. A lone Wandering Star like the old Constant Star, which was also a Celestial Civilization, was quite rare.
The old Constant Star replied, "I prefer solitude. Besides, my star’s life is nearing its end, why would I capture any planets now?"
"Indeed, the proportion of Hydrogen in you has already fallen below forty percent, and with your mass, it’s unlikely you can maintain heavy elent fusion much longer. You probably won’t live much longer!"
Wandering spoke bluntly, with no understanding of social delicacies.
Lu Chen rolled his eyes and explained, "Wandering has always been very direct in speech, don’t take it to heart!"
At this mont, he actually felt a bit of sympathy for this old Constant Star. After learning about the Dark Forest Law of the universe, he had gradually beco hardened and rciless, but the old Constant Star’s repeated acts of kindness, coupled with the knowledge of its impending end of life, stirred his compassion.
The old Constant Star generously said: "It’s alright, I’ve long co to terms with this. And don’t forget, we are a Celestial Civilization, not a biological one, the end of a certain life stage does not necessarily equate to true death!"
"Do you know what becos of a Constant Star after death?" Lu Chen asked curiously.
The old Constant Star said, "I do not know. Although the Universe is vast and filled with stars, Celestial Civilizations, just like biological ones, are scarce. I’ve never seen what happens to a Constant Star Celestial Civilization after death. I am quite looking forward to it. I wonder what state our Consciousness Particles will be in then?"
"You’ve lived for billions of years and only understand a corner of the Universe. It seems this Universe really is vast and mysterious!" Lu Chen exclaid.
The old Constant Star let out a resigned laugh and said, "Alright, let’s not talk about anymore. Tell , what thod did you use just now to snatch the Hydrogen from the Supernova? I suppose your Gravity isn’t stronger than that of a Supernova, right?"
Hearing this question, Lu Chen hesitated.
Moreover, he suddenly thought of an important point – his planet’s temperature had reached five million degrees just now, and he still didn’t know the status of the Gravity Stone.
Yet Wandering straightforwardly said, "Big Brother previously absorbed a Planet and obtained the other side’s Gravity Stone."
The old Constant Star asked, "Gravity Stone? What is that?"
"You’ve lived for so long, have you never heard of the Gravity Stone?" Lu Chen couldn’t help but retort.
At the sa ti, he checked the Gravity Stone inside his body and saw that it was still in its original form, which greatly shocked him!
You should know that the temperature just now was five million degrees. The entire Solid Star Core turned into a Plasma State. Even after the temperature dropped, the Solid Star Core had already gone through massive changes. Unexpectedly, the Gravity Stone remained completely intact, and due to the vanishing of so impurities in between, the two hundred-ter-long pieces of Gravity Stone fused seamlessly.
Here, it is necessary to explain the Cosmic Eight States, that is, the eight conventional states of matter in the universe.
They are respectively Gas, Liquid, Solid, Plasma, Super-solid, Neutron State, Field State, and the eighth, Antimatter State.
Lu Chen speculated that this Gravity Stone, being neither gold nor stone and fearing no high temperature, might be in the Field State, or perhaps the Antimatter State, or even an unknown Ninth State.
The Constant Star said, "I’ve never heard of it. I was born in a nebula and beca a Constant Star right from the start. I have never co into contact with solid matter."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was certain.
It seed that the Constant Star really hadn’t seen the Gravity Stone before, otherwise it would have known that the Gravity Stone was not ordinary solid matter as its na might suggest.
From this point, Lu Chen also realized the preciousness and peculiarity of the Gravity Stone. Even a Constant Star that had lived for several billion years had not heard of it, which shows how rare it must be!
The Constant Star asked, "What exactly is this Gravity Stone like? May I see it?"
Lu Chen was actually going to refuse. After all, the Gravity Stone was even more special than he thought. However, he then heard the Constant Star saying, "I might not live much longer, and I hope to see more of the universe’s wonders before I die. I haven’t caused you any trouble, have I?"
"No, not at all. You just helped out, and there’s no harm in looking!" Wandering said. "Don’t you think so, big brother?"
Seeing the situation, it was difficult for Lu Chen to voice a refusal. After all, the Constant Star had helped Wandering, and he couldn’t ignore the Constant Star’s kindness or he would co across as stingy.
Therefore, Lu Chen directly manipulated the Earth’s Core to push out the Gravity Stone, sending it into space.
"Is this the Gravity Stone that can plunder hydrogen from a Supernova?" The Constant Star was sowhat excited upon seeing the Gravity Stone.
The next mont, the Constant Star suddenly locked the Gravity Stone with gravity, sucking it into its body. It then burst into a crazed laughter as though it had turned into a completely different entity.
It went from being a generous and serene elder to a cunning and deceitful villain!
Lu Chen and Wandering were slightly caught off guard, staring at this scene in astonishnt. Lu Chen asked coldly, "What do you an?"
"Ha ha..."
The Constant Star laughed sinisterly: "I said you were very cautious before. It seems you are still not cautious enough. To actually dare to take out such a treasure, then I won’t be polite and will take it for myself. Consider it my compensation for helping you out earlier!"
"It seems you ca for the Gravity Stone all along, didn’t you?" Lu Chen secretly berated himself for being careless.
He had indeed been suspicious of it, after all, the Constant Star had seen them going against the Constant Star Wind, indicating that it had discovered them long ago.
But it only appeared after the Supernova had extinguished, perhaps with ulterior motives.
However, the sincere words spoken by the Constant Star later, coupled with its initiative to help Wandering, led him to lower his guard sowhat, and now he had indeed fallen into a trap.
The Constant Star generously admitted: "Yes, I ca for the Gravity Stone. I also want to easily plunder the hydrogen from a Supernova. After all, who would want to die?"
"In light of you giving the Gravity Stone, I’m in a good mood and won’t kill you. After I absorb enough hydrogen and get reborn, I’ll take you in as satellites out of obligation and help you avoid the crisis of the giant nebula!"
After saying this, the Constant Star swaggered off towards the Three-leaf Nebula, no longer paying any attention to Lu Chen and Wandering behind it!
