Chapter 1306: Chapter 1054: From the Same Place
At this moment, the Divine Envoy was far from leisurely like Little Zi, for she was inside a planet, surrounded by a dense mass of golden Eternal entities! The Divine Envoy knew who had stored these Eternals here, but what she also knew was that a single mistake on her part could unleash them. If she accidentally opened one and another Divine Envoy was inside, it wouldn’t be an issue—given her current advantage in both Divine Status and Divine Power, she could absorb it directly. Her greatest fear, however, was that opening an Eternal might release a Divine Envoy infected by a Divine Worm. Against that, the Divine Envoy believed she stood no chance at all.
Originally, Long Yi had intended to share the God Eater with the Divine Envoy. But the moment it was free from Long Yi’s control and came into contact with the Divine Envoy, it began to devour uncontrollably, proving its moniker as the God Eater to be no fabrication.
If the Divine Envoy really possessed the God Eater, she wouldn’t need to be afraid. As it was, she could only carefully probe each golden Eternal entity. At least one thing was certain: Divine Souls could be infected by the Divine Worm, so Eternals with Divine Souls had a high chance of infestation, whereas those without were safe.
Through careful selection, the Divine Envoy had managed to open ten Eternals devoid of Divine Souls, absorbing their Divine Status and consciousness. This made her somewhat stronger, but she dared not let her guard down. Just one mistake, and the consequences would be catastrophic.
The Divine Envoy opened another Eternal, which also contained only Divine Status and consciousness. As she looked around, the place was teeming with countless Eternals, over ten thousand of them, but she had no way of knowing how many were uninfected.
Compared to Little Zi and the Divine Envoy, Xiaodie’s situation was completely different.
She was relishing the moment.
Before her was a strange planet, seemingly similar to a star, but lacking the intense brilliance and powerful radiated energy typical of stars. However, its mass was hundreds of millions of times that of a star, and the material it ejected displayed astonishingly destructive properties.
After completing the planar transfer, Xiaodie found herself surprisingly famished. What puzzled her was that this hunger remained even after devouring several stars’ worth of Stellar Material. Could a single transfer through planes have increased her appetite? Little Zi didn’t understand, but luckily she was right near this wondrous star.
The star exuded a faint blue hue, like a melting sapphire. Every so often, impressive bursts of energy would erupt from its surface, resulting in dazzling flares.
Xiaodie floated in space, her wings spread wide. With every flare, her wings would shimmer with radiant blue, absorbing the energy released.
In truth, Xiaodie greatly desired to devour the entire planet, to the point where she was almost drooling. Yet her attempts to draw near proved futile. Whenever she got close enough, the planet emitted a directional repulsive force, pushing her back. After several unsuccessful attempts, she resigned herself to absorbing the energy there. But honestly, this energy was tastier than directly consuming ordinary stars, at least in Xiaodie’s view. Now, oblivious to her current location, she assumed with Long Yi’s abilities, he would be able to find her without much trouble.
So Xiaodie hovered in the cosmos, her wings growing a bit larger with each burst of energy. Eventually, she simply closed her eyes and remained still.
Then, after an indeterminate amount of time, she was surprised to realize that no energy had erupted for quite a while. Opening her eyes, she saw a black hole on the surface of the planet—as if it had been bored through by a worm!
Could it be...
Xiaodie immediately retracted her wings and flew swiftly toward the anomaly. This time, the planet did not generate any repulsion!
Though the Wormhole appeared small from afar, it seemed vast upon approach. However, Xiaodie had no time to ponder this; she sped down along the walls of the hole, which narrowed as she descended. At the bottom, she saw the culprit behind everything.
It was a mass of black destructive matter, eroding everything in its path. Wherever it passed, the blue glow vanished, and the erosion continued to spread unchecked.
What was this thing?
Curiosity welled in Xiaodie, and she reached out to touch the black matter. Almost instantly, a surge of complex information flowed into her consciousness, and the black matter, which had been eroding downward, ceased its advance.
"You actually come from the same place as I do!" Xiaodie was astonished.
It turned out that this black matter and Xiaodie originated from the same mysterious world—a world thriving on devouring. But this matter was peculiar; despite possessing potent devouring capabilities, it lacked the intelligence to form a consciousness. Thus, many intelligent entities from its world combined their efforts to expel it, and now it had landed on this planet by chance.
