# Chapter 37: The Lost Ancestors
Inside the white Star Shepherd's royal court, the black eight-legged fungus bent its limbs, kneeling, while the towering fungal pillar's top layer emitted various spectrums of different colors, mixed with noisy audio fluctuations, as it said nervously: "At this rate, the World Devourer's awakening may be faster than we imagined!"
Having said this, Kumosinda said without any hesitation: "I am willing to lead the First Giant Beast to head to the World Devourer's location first, to delay the other party's recovery time!"
"One giant beast is useless, Kumosinda. One Star-Devouring Giant Beast cannot hinder even a not-yet-awakened World Devourer."
The Great Khan's voice sounded with hundreds and thousands of echoes, and Kumosinda seemed to have already anticipated this response, so it continued loudly: "I know, so Great Khan, I request the unlocking of the First Giant Beast's 'Negative Star Chain', to temporarily transfer World One to other giant beasts!"
"By unlocking the Negative Star Chain and letting the giant beast feed on one or two worlds, it can temporarily recover its complete form. This way, I can control the First Giant Beast to temporarily suppress the World Devourer's awakening, while our fleet can calmly prepare, guarding against those unknown existences while providing an opportunity to completely kill this World Devourer!"
Although the World Devourer was powerful, it was not impossible to repel. The Multiverse was so vast that there would always be some civilizations capable of repelling World Devourers. Although the Star Shepherds were not that powerful, suppressing a weakened World Devourer should be no problem at all. This was why Kumosinda was willing to take the risk.
The Great Khan did not reply, seemingly pondering the suggestion of its subordinate king. At the center of the royal court, the distorted spiritual void trembled slightly, as if about to make a decision. But soon, a shrill and fierce warning sound rang out, interrupting the conversation between the two.
"Highest alert! Temporarily designated 'Silver Star' and 'Green Star', unknown massive objects have suddenly accelerated, rapidly approaching! Highest alert! Silver Star and Green Star's speed is already 5.25 times the fleet's average speed! Estimated contact in ninety three-sina (approximately three minutes)!"
The emergency alert continued to sound incessantly, and the royal court was also in an uproar. Although Kumosinda had not heard the Great Khan's reply, it knew that the risky action it wanted was now destined to be impossible.
The awakening, sealed World Devourer, and the unknown dangerous existences in the Lost Star River—both were targets requiring the Star Shepherds' vigilance. It could even be said that compared to the World Devourer, which was already a mortal enemy, the dangerous existences whose intentions and origins were unknown were even more worthy of their caution.
Moreover, the other party's sudden acceleration—was it to charge at their fleet's formation, or to rush toward the area where the World Devourer was located?
Kumosinda did not know this, but the entire world fleet had already arranged its defensive formation, ready for impact.
And soon, after ninety three-sina, it learned the purpose of Silver Star and Green Star.
In the void, the massive world fleet was traveling at high speed. A crab-like Void Behemoth swung its eight limbs, swimming swiftly through the void. Space was their water waves, gravity was their oars; they paddled through the space-time currents of space-time, carrying worlds forward as they advanced.
And at this moment, one silver and one green star appeared on their rear side, approaching at a speed far exceeding the fleet's travel speed.
"Prepare for defense!"
The giant beasts slowly gathered together. It could be seen that an extremely thick gravity shield, comparable to a world barrier, was condensing and forming.
