Chapter 50: Chapter 50 Mediocre Ball Troubles Itself

At this moment, Lu Chen was faced with two paths of evolution.

He could continue to use the Roche limit to absorb other planets, infinitely increasing his planet’s mass, but by doing so, he would forever remain a mere planet.

If he wanted to become a super planet, or even a constant star.

Then he would have to stop absorbing other planets and solely absorb the hydrogen element.

Because in the composition of a constant star’s mass, hydrogen must account for at least 70%-75% of the ratio, or else it would not be possible to sustain and stabilize the conditions for nuclear fusion in the star.

Such a simple comparison, any ordinary sphere would surely choose the path of becoming a super planet.

However, Lu Chen found himself hesitant and struggling.

He did not dislike the idea of evolving into a constant star; in fact, he was more eager than anyone to evolve into an advanced celestial body and explore the ultimate mysteries of the universe.

But he did not want to easily give up the identity of being a planet, because his previous human biological complexes were at play; he still wanted his planet to give birth to life and become a second Earth!

If he embarked on the evolutionary path of becoming a super planet, then it would certainly be impossible for biological life to emerge on the planet.

On one side was the nostalgic biological complex, and on the other was the vast ocean of stars; Lu Chen was endlessly torn between the two!

He was reluctant to give up either, wanted both, but these two were inherently contradictory, perfectly illustrating that one cannot have both fish and bear’s claws.

He tried to quickly find a perfect solution, given that his planet’s mass had already exceeded 100; if he continued to recklessly absorb non-hydrogen materials, then with each bit absorbed, it would double the difficulty on the path to becoming a constant star, which was also why Feather Robe Star was shocked at the high density of Lu Chen’s planet.

Because the higher the density and the more mixed the materials, the harder it is to evolve into a true constant star.

Taking Lu Chen’s current 100-planet mass as an example, with a minimum of 70% ratio, it means Lu Chen would need to absorb an additional 600 planet masses of hydrogen element and maintain this ratio to grow his mass to the minimum standard of a constant star.

This, of course, is just a simple analogy; the actual process would definitely be even more severe.

Normally, newborn constant stars have an even higher hydrogen ratio, often between 90%-99%, so Lu Chen’s situation was urgent, and he needed to make a choice now!

How difficult this is, what should he do?

I am definitely going to become a constant star, but what if I become a constant star and Earth no longer exists? What then?

I fancy myself as the Earth Guardian, but if I can’t protect Earth and can’t recreate another Earth after Earth disappears, what meaning does my existence have?

...

...

A thousand thoughts flashed through his mind.

Lu Chen was flying through the universe, seemingly lost, as time numbingly passed by.

Unwittingly, he and Wandering had flown out of the Feather Robe Star System and entered the last constant star system of the Windmill Star System, which also hosts the Yin Yang Star.

"Big bro, can you sense any celestial civilizations?"

After entering the Yin Yang Star System, Wandering asked as usual, but Lu Chen did not reply for a long time, which raised Wandering’s suspicion: "Big bro, what’s wrong with you?"

"I’m fine, just lost in thought about some things!" Lu Chen came back to his senses and explained.

Wandering skeptically said: "Big bro, ever since you annihilated the consciousness particles of Feather Robe Star, you seem a bit different, not absorbing interstellar material is one thing, but not saying a word..."

At this point, Wandering suddenly came up with a bold idea: "You couldn’t have been backfired by Feather Robe Star’s consciousness particles, right? Damn it, I knew something strange happened suddenly. You damn dog, return my boss’s life!"

Saying that, it was about to start the engine, desperate to crash into planet Lu Chen!

Lu Chen couldn’t help but laugh and cry, saying, "Why do you have such wild ideas?"

"Stop changing the subject, let’s have a showdown of life and death; I must avenge my big bro!" Wandering spoke with a fierce momentum.

Lu Chen helplessly smiled, "I figure you actually want to rebel? I am clearly alive and well, yet you insist on cursing me to death. Haven’t you thought, if I really died, would your consciousness particles still exist?"

"Ah, right, how could I forget that detail, it seems I was just too worried about you!" Wandering showcased its wit, truly a clever spirit.

Lu Chen helplessly smiled and said, "Don’t worry, there is no celestial civilization in this constant star system."

"Big bro, you just said you were lost in thought, may I know about what? Maybe I can help you ease your troubles," Wandering curiously said.

"Yeah, I should tell you this..."

Right then, Lu Chen shared the differences between a normal planet and a super planet with Wandering.

Unexpectedly, this caused Wandering to wail, "Oh no, doesn’t this mean I am destined never to become a constant star?"

"Did you want to become a planet?" Lu Chen asked.

After pondering for a while, Wandering responded: "Not really, now that Earth is missing, as long as I can wander with you, big bro, I actually don’t care."

Hearing this, Lu Chen felt very happy inside.

Wandering said: "Big bro, what are you still struggling with? Of course, head towards becoming a super planet!"

"I want to, but there have been no biological lives born on my planet yet!" Lu Chen sighed helplessly.

Wandering spoke righteously, "Big bro, at this time, I must criticize you for being foolish."

"I’ll give you thirty seconds to rephrase that!" Lu Chen coldly warned.

Wandering continued, "I’m serious, big bro, you’re really being foolish at this moment. Did you forget what’s most important for the birth of biological life?"

"It’s not the planet, but sunlight!"

Wandering enunciated, "Without a stable constant star light source, even if you become a bigger planet, it won’t be possible for biological life to emerge. But if you become a constant star, you can capture other planets as satellites, providing these planets with a stable light source, then you could create countless Earths. The former means you can only ever become one Earth, but the latter means you could create countless Earths, isn’t the choice obvious?"

Wandering’s words brought Lu Chen to a sudden realization.

It turns out, it was all but unnecessary distress.

"Thank you, Wandering, I really was mystified just now."

Lu Chen candidly said: "I should become a constant star; otherwise, even if I find Earth, but without a constant star light source, Earth will not settle down either. Now that I have become a celestial body, certain unnecessary biological complexes truly shouldn’t exist in me anymore!"

After making up his mind, Lu Chen completely killed his past human self, adopting a brand-new mindset and attitude, truly embarking on the journey of the Wandering Universe!
