Chapter 1525:I Have Conquered This Star!

Translator: Atlas Studios | Editor: Atlas Studios

In the realm formed by the Great Emperor Nether Flame’s memory of the Creation Heavenly Race.

The grand underground palace had a dark color scheme, with totems carved into the surrounding walls, but upon closer inspection, they appeared blurry.

The specifics were unclear; one could only sense that the totems seemed like liquid, flowing and transforming into countless images.

This underground palace was empty. Other than the green pool in the center, there was only Xu Qing and the golden rat.

There were no other sounds as well.

Only time slowly passed.

Nearly seven minutes had passed.

Xu Qing stared at the pool in front of him. He sensed that the terrifying vitality in it was continuously gushing into his body through his right hand, repairing his injuries and nourishing his body.

The feeling of power and flawlessness was becoming intense.

“Creation Heavenly Race…”

Xu Qing had never heard of this race before. However, feeling the astonishing effects of this pool, he could tell how powerful this race was.

After all, this was the only thing Xu Qing had encountered that could supplement his body like this.

In addition, with the little absorption just now, he was very sure that this pool of water was harmless!

“Unfortunately, it came too suddenly.”

Xu Qing mumbled as a dark glint flashed in his eyes. He then looked at the little golden rat in the pool.

The little golden rat’s absorption continued. This strange pool water clearly had an extreme attraction to it, causing it to be unwilling to waste the slightest bit of time as it frantically replenished itself.

Xu Qing fell into deep thought. However, he still didn’t completely enter the pool like the golden rat.

Even though he sensed that the pool water was beneficial to him, he instinctively felt that there was a problem with this sudden fortune.

Hence, when his right hand came into contact with the pool water, his actions were restrained.

Awhile later, when Xu Qing had replenished his energy to a certain extent, the little golden rat’s stomach swelled up and it had already absorbed to the limit. It reluctantly returned to Xu Qing’s side.

A look of hesitation appeared on Xu Qing’s face. In the end, he still chose to retract his hand and end this opportunity.

At the same time, he took out many bottles that could hold a large amount of liquid from his storage bag and tried to take the water away.

“The origin of this opportunity is unknown. I have to think about it more before I can decide if I should use this water to cleanse my body.”

“If I can’t take it away, it’s best not to continue touching this good fortune. I hope I can take it away.”

Xu Qing mumbled. His voice echoed softly in the underground palace. Moreover, all his previous actions showed caution.

Very soon, he shook his head slightly and sighed. His expression revealed hesitation and regret.

The pool water couldn’t be taken away.

“What a pity, what a pity…”

Xu Qing thought about it and revealed an unwilling expression. He tried to use many methods to collect it again but no matter how he tried, he failed in the end.

The pool water seemed to have entered the bottle but then would dissipate on its own.

Xu Qing let out a long sigh and stood up to leave the pool. At the same time, he called for the little golden rat to bite through this space.

The little golden rat burped and had a joyous expression. It opened its mouth and fiercely bit down in mid-air. With a cracking sound, the scene that was like the world the joyflower was in appeared once again.

It bit open a crack in the space, revealing a gap.

However, this time around, the little golden rat didn’t seem to fancy the spatial fragment. It didn’t eat it but returned and lazily lay on Xu Qing’s shoulder.

Xu Qing took a deep breath. With a sway of his body, he transformed into a stream of light and headed straight for the spatial gap.

In an instant, he disappeared.

Everything was normal.

Most of the fifteen minutes had passed.

At the next instant, Xu Qing’s figure actually returned from the gap. His eyes were bright and it was completely different from his previous hesitation.

“Previously, regardless of my words or actions, I expressed caution, doubt, and regret about this opportunity. In the end, I chose to leave.”

“I was able to actually leave without any issues.”

“Then there are a few possibilities.”

“First possibility is there was no secret mastermind luring me here. Everything was a coincidence, and it was just me being too suspicious.”

“After all, if there’s really someone who set me up with an unknown goal and gave me this opportunity, they would have let me take the water and use it in peace.”

“However, the act of taking it away still failed. Moreover, when I chose to leave, I didn’t encounter any obstructions. This doesn’t make sense.”

“Second possibility is that there is indeed a mastermind in the dark. The other party didn’t let me take the pool water, but let me leave; if so, their motive…”

A sharp glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes.

“If that’s the case, there’s a high chance that it’s just a casual move.”

“No matter what, if there’s really a schemer plotting against me, whether I take this opportunity or not will be the same in the end. The other party will still make a move when it’s time.”

Determination appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. Even though he still had doubts about this opportunity in his heart, the value of this fortune was too great. After probing earlier, he gritted his teeth fiercely.

With a sway of his body, he instantly stepped into the pool and sat cross-legged inside to absorb it with all his might.

The entire pool instantly rumbled and a vortex formed.

Under Xu Qing’s absorption and guidance, it rapidly surged into various parts of his body.

The feeling of nourishment was a hundred times greater than before.

The vitality in them was still as strong as before.

When it was fifteen minutes, Xu Qing opened his eyes.

The nourishment of his body had reached saturation.

In the end, this pool of water couldn’t match the body formed by Desolate’s flesh and blood, but it was still extremely nourishing.

At the same time, the world in front of him began to blur and dissipate.

The divine sense that didn’t contain emotions earlier echoed here again.

“Fifteen minutes have passed. Your fortune has ended.”

As the voice spread out, the world dissipated completely. Xu Qing’s figure also appeared in the starry sky again.

The Holy Heavenly Vine flew out and landed at his feet.

Xu Qing stared at his surroundings and carefully recalled the details of the underground palace of the Creation Heavenly Race. In the end, he kept his vigilance up while moving into the distance on the heavenly vine.

Time slowly passed.

Several days later, in the starry sky, Xu Qing, who was constantly checking the scenes in the memory fragment realms, suddenly felt a thought transmission.

The Holy Heavenly Vine beneath his feet conveyed an emotional wave of discovering a kindred source.

The source of this emotional wave was naturally Erniu.

After Xu Qing sensed it, he immediately transmitted his divine sense. The heavenly vine changed its direction and headed straight for the location it sensed the kindred source in.

It found it very quickly.

What reflected in Xu Qing’s eyes was a very small memory fragment. The scene inside was a desolate star that was filled with filth and decay.

Erniu… was there.

The moment he saw the scene clearly, Xu Qing’s expression was strange. He didn’t hesitate and controlled the heavenly vine to enter the realm.

However, at the next instant, his eyes gleamed as he was forced back.

He couldn’t enter this realm!

“Could it be that no one is allowed to enter the memory fragment realms where others are in?”

“Because there’s only one Nether Flame in each of these memory fragment realm, it’s difficult for others to enter…”

Xu Qing fell into deep thought. After glancing at the fragment where Erniu was, he waved his hand and the golden rat flew out.

“Bite it open!”

On the desolate star, Erniu was jumping with all his might on one leg.

He only had one leg.

As he jumped, he couldn’t help but curse.

“What kind of godforsaken place is this? It’s fine if it lacks spiritual energy, but why is there so much pressure, and there is even a terrifying seal…”

“I actually can’t display my cultivation base at all here.”

“Even that’s okay. However, the Nether Flame I transformed into was almost on the verge of death and my body lacked some parts…”

“These maggots are the most outrageous!!”

“Why are there so many maggots here, and all of them actually have powerful divinity. F*ck… maggots have divinity. What kind of ghostly place is this! The world of maggot god?”

Erniu roared angrily.

He had been jumping here for a long time, wanting to find a way to leave and find Nether Flame’s choice back then. However, he discovered that no matter what he chose, it was wrong.

At that moment, seeing that maggots were everywhere, Erniu’s eyes revealed madness.

“There’s another choice. Since you guys want to eat me, I’ll eat you guys too. Let’s see who eats who first!”

However, at the thought of eating these maggots, he, who had always thought that he wasn’t picky about food, couldn’t help but feel the urge to be picky.

However, the current situation left him with no choice. Hence, he roared and was about to disregard everything.

However, at this moment, a shocking thunder suddenly rang out from the gray sky.

When the rumbling sound streaked across the sky, a depression appeared in the sky. It was as though something was ruthlessly colliding behind the sky.

However, it quickly recovered.

Erniu was stunned and looked up.

“What’s going on?”

The instant he spoke, the thunderous sound rang out again. This time, it wasn’t a rumbling sound but a cracking sound.

The sky that had recovered seemed to have been bitten by something at the back, revealing a fine crack.

Accompanying the crack was a small gap. After that, cracking sounds rang out continuously and the gap actually widened from the bite.

Erniu’s heart skipped a beat.

Immediately after, under his widened eyes that were filled with disbelief, he saw starlight.

Endless starlight surrounded a huge heavenly vine.

The leaves of this vine stretched out, following the crack in the sky and crawling in like a long dragon.

This scene was majestic and imposing.

On the astonishing vine stood a person.

This person’s long hair fluttered in the wind and his blood-red robe fluttered in the wind. He was none other than Xu Qing, who had transformed into Xue Chenzi.

The moment he appeared, the heavenly vine became a foil, and the starlight also became the background that dyed everything. Coupled with the eruption of a terrifying aura, it suppressed this place.

Due to the shattering of the sky, the sealing power here also began to dissipate. Hence, under the sweeping of Xu Qing’s aura, the countless maggots beside Erniu seemed to be sent flying by a storm.

Only Erniu, who was in a sorry state, stood there. He stared blankly at the god­like Xu Qing, gasping.

He quickly reacted and puffed out his chest, speaking proudly.

“Junior Brother, you’re too late. This star has been completely conquered by your Eldest Senior Brother!”

At the same time, in the starry sky, the Empress was also moving. She was different from Xu Qing.

She walked all the way. As long as a memory fragment realm appeared in front of Her, it would tremble on its own the instant She got close. Finally, it silently disintegrated and turned into specks of crystal light that dissipated.

As for the Empress, She clearly had a perception of the path ahead and knew the correct direction.

Hence, after She walked all the way, finally…

An extremely special memory fragment was reflected in Her eyes.

Moreover, even as She got close, it didn’t disintegrate.

This fragmented realm was dark and filled with the aura of death.

It was raining there…
