Chapter 2037: Chapter 1598: The Dog That Sees Its Own Rear End
Land of the Infinity, looking at the empty void ahead, the Sixth Divine Star trembled and murmured, "It really is the Land of the Infinity, I finally made it in."
"Finished watching? Surrender your soul." Anthony suddenly appeared out of nowhere and said calmly.
The Sixth Divine Star glanced at the Gate of No Boundary, overflowing due to his presence, then at Anthony, and said, "Where did you come in from? I still need to report back to my allies. Let’s establish a consciousness link after my report."
Anthony shook his head, "Let’s follow the steps we agreed on. I have some questions for you. I’ll give you an opportunity to report back. This is a contract signed in the name of my Lord; I won’t break it."
The Sixth Divine Star helplessly offered up his consciousness brand, having just severed his consciousness link with Lania. Now, he had to give it to someone else.
Anthony handed the consciousness brand to Ange, then asked the first question, "You know the No.5 Divine Star, right?"
The Sixth Divine Star’s heart tightened. He was about to deny it when Anthony already said, "It seems so; the Lord says you’re nervous."
The Sixth Divine Star was stunned for a moment, only then remembering that he had already given up his consciousness brand. The other party could sense his psychological changes and could even directly read his memories. Any denial was pointless.
Realizing this, the Sixth Divine Star gave up resisting. He had mentally prepared himself; he just hadn’t adapted yet.
"Yes, I know the No.5 Divine Star," said the Sixth Divine Star.
"At the information blind box game that day, besides the No.5 Divine Star, who else do you know?" Anthony asked.
The Sixth Divine Star replied, "No one else."
Anthony asked, "So, who sent you all to sneak into the information blind box game together?"
The Sixth Divine Star hesitated for a moment.
Anthony immediately warned, "Don’t force me to have the Lord search your memory. Your Star Soul is strong enough to withstand many soul searches, maybe even simultaneous questioning and searching, which will definitely drain all your secrets dry."
The Sixth Divine Star’s heart tightened at the thought of his consciousness being pried open. As Anthony asked questions, his consciousness would quickly flit over the issues raised, prompting a shiver to run through him. He said, "It’s Lania."
A gleam of delight flashed across Anthony’s face, "Lania? Didn’t you say he’s your enemy? So, you were in cahoots with him; I hadn’t considered this possibility—wonderful."
The Sixth Divine Star was dumbfounded; wonderful? Was this good?
Anthony seemed to understand what he was thinking and smiled, "I originally thought this void was too dull. You Divine Stars are straightforward and don’t know those twisty ways; too dull. I underestimated you; this void is becoming interesting."
This was Anthony’s genuine thought. Since entering the void, Ange’s opponents had become the Gray Divine Star, Gemez Fortress, and Luomu Luo’er, limiting his scope of action, making it uninteresting.
Now that Lania had unexpected arrangements, it certainly showed that Anthony had underestimated these Divine Stars, but it also proved that Lania seemed to be a competent opponent, which piqued Anthony’s interest.
The Sixth Divine Star looked at him in puzzlement, unable to understand why an enemy’s strength would bring joy.
Afterwards, Anthony asked many more questions. He went to great lengths, risking the effort to bring the Sixth Divine Star in just for information.
Through the Sixth Divine Star’s answers, Anthony gradually understood the situation of the Lania Branch Road.
The Lania Branch Road seemed to be the most unified place within the void. The entire branch had been unified by Lania, and all the Divine Stars were under Lania’s leadership, collectively resisting the invasions of the Time-Space Ancient Dragons and Exotic Ghosts.
In the name of different Divine Stars, they dispatched Star Descendants and Dark Stars throughout the void, gathering copious amounts of intelligence and information.
"Our main intelligence and information collection are divided into two categories: first, the location information of the Time-Space Ancient Dragons and Exotic Ghosts; second, information on permanently escaping danger, such as entering the Land of the Infinity or methods to destroy the Time-Space Ancient Dragons and Exotic Ghosts," said the Sixth Divine Star.
"Oh? Is there any way to destroy them?" Anthony inquired.
The Sixth Divine Star replied, "I don’t know, maybe there is, maybe there isn’t. Only Lania knows these things. I only know that the Exotic Ghost is a weapon used by ghost guides like you."
"Haha, it’s a relief if there isn’t. Otherwise, we ghost guides would lose our most powerful weapon," Anthony commented.
The Sixth Divine Star gave Anthony a deep look and said, "So, you admit that Exotic Ghosts are indeed a weapon?"
"Isn’t it you who said it was a weapon?" Anthony responded calmly.
"Our statements are mere speculation, but if you say it too, then it’s an admission," said the Sixth Divine Star, looking at Anthony.
Anthony laughed, "Haha, not quite; I can only say that much."
The Sixth Divine Star looked deeply at Anthony. Anthony, too, allowed him to gaze, wearing an inscrutable expression.
Seeing nothing on Anthony’s face, the Sixth Divine Star had no choice but to ask, "Do you have anything else to ask? If not, please sever the consciousness link and let me return to report to my comrades. This was your promise."
"Are you going to report to Lania? Let me tell you what to report—say this and this, but not that or that, understand?" Anthony instructed.
The Sixth Divine Star readily agreed. After all, passing through the Gate of No Boundary required severing the consciousness link; at that point, what he said wouldn’t be up to Anthony.
Anthony seemed to guess what he was thinking and laughed, asking, "Are you thinking that passing through the Gate of No Boundary would require the severing of the consciousness link, and at that point, you could say whatever you want, is that right?"
The Sixth Divine Star shook his head, "No, I will definitely comply with your request and report, and resolutely not say what you didn’t allow."
Anthony chuckled, "Haha, if you didn’t shake your head, I might’ve believed you. You’re different from the No.5 Divine Star; you never nod or shake your head during conversations, but you did now."
The Sixth Divine Star’s heart tightened, "Do you intend to breach the contract?"
"No, I don’t need to breach the contract; severing the consciousness link isn’t covered by the contract terms. Come." Anthony motioned for him to follow and turned towards the Mist Zone not far away.
The Sixth Divine Star had noticed a mass of Incremental Fog not far away, but it blocked all perception, leaving him oblivious to what lay within.
As he followed Anthony into the fog bank, passing through a triangular gap, he quickly saw his Dark Star body attempting to squeeze into the Gate of No Boundary.
The Sixth Divine Star felt a bit like a dog circling a post and seeing its own tail. Desperate, he pointed at his body and asked hopelessly, "Did we come out?"
