Chapter 1856: Is It This Big?
But isn't this drawing a bit too big?
Wu Liang swallowed his saliva:
(•́ω•̀٥) "If I remember correctly, we're here to steal a Star Gate, right?"
"Is it really okay to leave our name in such a conspicuous place? Wouldn't the Holy Star go crazy when they see it?"
This is essentially the same as going to someone's backyard to take something, making sure they know who took it, and arrogantly leaving your name behind, right?
Jiangning squinted: (๑¯ิ～¯ิ) "Heh heh! So what if they know? What can they do to Little Nan?"
Xia Yao's forehead was covered in sweat; has it really come to this?
Immediately after, they heard Xiao Jiuwo's excited cry from afar!
٩(｡￫◡￩｡) "Master～I found it! The gate is here!"
Jiangnan was startled, quickly left his name, and rushed in Xiao Jiuwo's direction!
"Boom!"
With an explosive sound, Jiangnan's rank directly soared to Star Glory Eight, and he defiantly grabbed a handful of spirit beads to absorb nonstop!
"Dammit, I'll just break through to show my determination!"
Xiao Jiuwo covered her face: Master, do you have to break through so casually?
No sign at all?
She had absorbed seven ceiling spirit beads, but her rank still couldn't catch up to Jiangnan!
Everyone quickly gathered, and indeed, a Star Gate with a diameter of three hundred meters was located there!
It was the same one from the Hanshan Lingxu, used by Igor back then.
Jiangnan cackled, rubbing his hands together:
(ʃƪᵒ̶̶̷̀ω˂̶́) "The Star Gate is in hand. Now we can go to Thousand Stars City!"
Zhong Yingxue was startled: (•︠～•︡) "Xiao… Xiao Nan? Are you going to Thousand Stars City?"
Jiangnan nodded without looking back, answering casually: "Yeah, I need to go there."
As he spoke, he took out a star chart—this was the star chart for the small Star Gate, not the same one, but star charts were universal!
Hearing this news, Zhong Yingxue's eyes inexplicably dimmed, and she seemed distracted, lost in thought.
Meanwhile, Jiangnan connected the Star Gate to the star chart, then took out the conch key and inserted it.
The drive source on the Star Gate was already scrapped, so Jiangnan replaced it with a batch of Divine Control Tears.
As soon as it started, Jiangnan eagerly looked at the star chart!
"Sister Ningning? Which one is Thousand Stars City?"
Jiangning pointed to the brightest dot at the center of the star chart: "This one. Huh? Why is it black?"
"That's not right? This Star Gate is functional. All recorded points on the star chart should be reachable! No need to scout first!"
Jiangnan frowned deeply. On the star chart, only a small area of starlight lit up.
Beyond that area, everything was still dim.
Zhong Xueba observed carefully: "This lit-up star domain is the Laniakea Supercluster…"
Jiangnan scratched his head: ୧(･᷄～･᷅) "Can't go to Thousand Stars City?"
Jiangning's eyes flickered: "If I'm not mistaken, the star routes within this supercluster should have been sealed off by the Sacred Law Council."
"Right now, no one from the myriad races can enter this region via Star Gate, warp speed, or any other means."
"It was directly interfered with from the fourth dimension using great means! Because we are within this region."
"So we can reach any position within the region via Star Gate, but we cannot connect to outside this supercluster."
"Similarly, outsiders can't enter either."
Jiangnan was stunned: ∑(°口°๑) "The star routes are sealed? Damn! Can Bose bodies even do something like this?"
Jiangning nodded: "A Star Devourer-ranked Bose body has such means."
"I told you before, under the starry sky, every galaxy is an isolated island of starlight, with distances unimaginably vast."
"Only civilizations that master ultra-long-distance transmission methods like Star Gates and star routes are qualified to be called great races."
"The routes under the starry sky are power! The Silicon-based race also has Star Gates, but they rely on technology. In this sealed situation, they can't enter this region either."
Jiangnan grinned—the Sacred Law Council was ruthless. This was the power and foundation of a starry sky overlord, wasn't it?
Sealed just like that?
They probably didn't want other races to interfere in this matter.
"Doesn't this screw us over? Is there any other way to get to Thousand Stars City?"
Jiangning's brow furrowed deeply as well. Even using Star Gates to reach the edge of this supercluster,
within the sealed ring zone, you couldn't use warp speed.
Breaking through the blockade would take a huge amount of time, and humanity couldn't afford that.
"There is a way—you can enter Thousand Stars City through the Dimensional Gap."
"Bose bodies can't control the Dimensional Gap, since it's a 3.5-dimensional space, but it's highly not recommended. There's a Black God in the Dimensional Gap—an incredibly terrifying existence."
"Once He discovers a three-dimensional creature entering His domain, there's no way to survive."
Jiangnan swallowed: "The Lost Kingdom of the Black God? How strong is He exactly?"
Jiangning's eyelids twitched: "You can think of Him as the absolute ruler of the 3.5-dimensional world, the god of the Dimensional Gap!"
"The entire Dimensional Gap can be considered His domain. He single-handedly launched dimensional wars, and the Extremely Dark Starry Sky Battlefield is a meat grinder under the starry sky! It's been going on for who knows how many billions of years."
"The only thing is that He can't enter the three-dimensional world; otherwise, He'd surely be a calamity."
Jiangnan was shocked: "Damn! That's insane?"
He had thought about visiting the Lost Kingdom before, but thank goodness he didn't—otherwise, he might have been made into a specimen by that guy!
A dimensional war lasting billions of years? That's…
With the star routes sealed, the only way to Thousand Stars City was to detour through the Dimensional Gap.
That was a bit difficult, wasn't it?
Jiangnan gritted his teeth: "Let's not think about it for now. We'll figure it out later. It's not without gains."
"We can't get out, but at least the Holy Star can't send people in here either. For now, we're safe."
"And now we can freely roam within this supercluster, right?"
Jiangnan's smile gradually twisted. The others looked at the lit-up small area on the star chart, and their eyes also brightened!
(⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛) "Let's go! First, let's do a fire-tong clamp Liu Ming on the eight planets of the solar system!"
"And check on how the mining machines on Jupiter are doing."
With that, Jiangnan connected the star chart to Jupiter and was the first to dive into the Star Gate!
The next moment, an incredibly violent storm nearly tore everyone apart on the spot!
Startled, Jiangnan quickly used space chains to wrap around everyone and pulled them into a warp bubble to rush out of Jupiter and into space!
He broke out in a cold sweat!
Looking down, the Giant Red Spot storm was below them!
Just the diameter of that storm was larger than Earth!
Jupiter, as a gas giant, was indeed a bit fierce—they had directly ended up inside the Great Red Spot, huh?
"Sister Ningning, can the Planet Destroyer destroy even planets like Jupiter?"
Jiangning nodded: "Yes? No difference—it's still a planet…"
Jiangnan's expression froze. Just how terrifying was that level of strength?
Seeing Jiangnan's expression, Jiangning couldn't help but snicker:
(∗❛ั◡❛ั) "Don't be discouraged. Once your warp bubble's curvature is terrifying enough, you can try shooting through a planet."
"Crushing the star core—that should be enough to destroy a planet, right?"
Jiangnan wiped his forehead: (•́﹏•̀٥) "I… I'll try my best."
Then he looked toward Jupiter's orbit: "Huh? Weren't there supposed to be seventy-nine moons here? Why is it so desolate?"
"Where did my mining machines go?"
But the next moment, Xia Yao pointed at space with a horrified expression!
(*ﾟ口ﾟ)☛ "That… is that one?"
Everyone looked in the direction Xia Yao was pointing!
There, a Star-Devouring Giant Worm over a thousand kilometers long and more than 150 kilometers in diameter was writhing in space!
Opening its gaping maw, it sucked in Jupiter's moon, Europa, which was 170 kilometers in diameter, smashing it apart!
The endless rocky debris went into its stomach…
Witnessing the giant worm devour a moon in one bite, everyone was filled with shock!
Jiangnan's voice went up an octave!
Σ(ﾟ口ﾟﾉ)ﾉ "Whoa! How… how did it grow this big?"
He hadn't starved Xing Cheng, had he? Little Cheng Bao hadn't grown at all!
Her brother had eaten himself to this size?
Compared to her brother, Xing Cheng was severely malnourished, damn it!
Everyone was also shocked. Compared to its size on the moon back then, this was way too huge!
Impatiently, Jiangnan shot over in a warp bubble!
He landed on the Star-Devouring Giant Worm's body, even giving Jiangnan the illusion of landing on a planet. The scales were like giant mountains spinning at high speed!
Jiangnan even noticed that the mining team that had come with the giant worm earlier had built a city on its body for living!
As soon as they saw Jiangnan, the Pupil Clan members were overjoyed and quickly came to greet him!
(〃⊙) "Boss Nan God! You're finally here! There are only a few moons left to eat around here. I was thinking of moving the mining site in a couple of days!"
"This mining machine's appetite has been growing recently. You said Jupiter can't be eaten, but after scouting, I found Saturn's rings are pretty good!"
"What do you think…"
Jiangnan shuddered:
(๑ŏ﹏ŏ) "H… hold on, it ate all of Jupiter's moons?"
The mining team leader nodded:
(๑ŏ) "Yes? Is there a problem?"
Jiangnan wiped his forehead—seventy-nine moons, all gone that fast?
Well, as the giant worm's size increased, its appetite and eating speed would also grow!
If they kept letting it graze like this, the solar system couldn't support it, damn it!
Jiangnan scratched his head: "It needs to go gnaw somewhere else. We can't keep ruining the solar system!"
"The Milky Way is big enough—how about…"
Before he could finish, Jiangning directly spoke up: "I suggest not letting it eat in the Milky Way. You can't predict what humanity will become in the future."
"Every planet in our home galaxy is an extremely precious resource. There's no way you'd put a Star-Devouring Giant Worm at your doorstep to eat!"
Zhong Yingxue immediately proposed: "How about moving it to the neighboring Andromeda Galaxy to eat? Aren't the Milky Way and Andromeda supposed to collide in a few billion years?"
"Let it go ahead and eat there in advance!"
Jiangnan grinned: "Good idea! By the way, how's the harvest of Incense Beads? How many have you collected?"
