Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Gorgeous Star Ring

The Cannibal Tree, after undergoing genetic modifications by the Yin Yang Star People, had become grotesquely transformed.

It goes without saying that the seeds of the Cannibal Tree also possessed an exceptionally strong vitality.

The seeds of the Cannibal Tree were grayish-green in color, the size of broad beans, with an outer shell that could resist temperatures below 200 degrees, remain active in cold environments, and could absorb and isolate cosmic radiation.

In short, most extreme environments were unable to truly kill the seeds of the Cannibal Tree.

This was the real reason why the Cannibal Tree went to great lengths to create a massive tree braid that burst through the atmosphere.

The Cannibal Tree did this, not for fun or to show off its size, but because it had accessed the knowledge and memories of the Yin Yang Star People’s brains while absorbing them.

Only then did the Cannibal Tree realize that beyond Earth there were the starry skies, and beyond the starry skies lay the vast Universe; hence after eliminating the Yin Yang Star People, it went to all lengths to launch its seeds into the Universe.

Countless seeds were scattered by the Cannibal Tree into space, dispersing in all directions.

After drifting endlessly through time, some of these seeds, quite luckily, fell back onto their original Mother Star, Tree Demon Star.

These seeds took root again in the soil of Tree Demon Star, drawing nutrients, and quickly grew to a significant size.

Coincidentally, the Yin Yang Civilization had previously established a research base on Tree Demon Star. This became the last vestige of the Yin Yang Civilization after the destruction of Yin Yang Star; however, as the Cannibal Tree began to proliferate again on Tree Demon Star, the final ember of the Yin Yang Civilization was unfortunately extinguished by Tree Demon Star.

Seemingly, everything in the Universe has its own destined fate, as the wheel of destiny slowly turns.

...

Lu Chen and Wandering were unaware of the Cannibal Tree seeds; this was an event that would happen many years later.

After tearing apart Yin Yang Star and eliminating the Cannibal Tree, they began considering how to deal with the vast debris of Yin Yang Star.

After all, since Lu Chen had decided to follow the evolutionary path of a Super Planet, he would definitely no longer absorb other materials, only Hydrogen.

Wandering asked, "Big brother, are you really not going to absorb these fragments?"

"Never mind, the crust of Yin Yang Star does contain Hydrogen Elements, but not much, and absorbing them wouldn’t be worth it!" Lu Chen joked, "If you want to absorb them, then they are all yours!"

Wandering haughtily responded, "I am a mighty Metal Planet, and I certainly wouldn’t fancy such messy materials!"

Wandering then asked, "Big brother, what do you plan to do with these fragments, turn them into interstellar meteorites? We’ve gone to all this trouble to shred Yin Yang Star, it would be such a waste!"

"Don’t worry, I have a way to deal with these fragments."

Lu Chen quickly thought of a good method and promptly controlled the gravity, causing the fragments of Yin Yang Star to slowly revolve around the Planet, creating what appeared from afar to be a ring around the Planet.

This was Lu Chen’s method of disposal.

He was inspired by planets within the Solar System that possess rings.

It is said that those planetary rings came into existence in the same way, after tearing apart some moons and massive meteorites, where the balance of gravity and speed prevented the fragments from falling into the planet, instead, due to gravity, they revolved around the planet forming rings.

Whenever sunlight shone across, numerous fragments would absorb part of the light, forming a luminous halo-like ring!

"Big brother, this method of handling is too brilliant, turning waste into treasure!"

Wandering looked at the beautiful ring formed from fragments and was quite impressed.

And he was not wrong, these fragments are indeed waste for both him and Lu Chen.

He only needs Metal Elements, Lu Chen only needs Hydrogen; absorbing other material elements would only cause adverse effects.

"Ha ha!"

Lu Chen couldn’t help but brag, "How about that? Doesn’t the presence of a ring make me look much better? It feels like my status has risen a lot!"

The surface of Lu Chen’s Planet had a thick atmosphere, showcasing a pale blue sheen, and influenced by the planet’s luster, the ring’s color was a dual layer of outer gold and inner blue, making it quite noble and gorgeous!

"Seeing you like this, I’ve decided I want a ring too!" Wandering said enviously.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Although you now have the mass of a planet, your size is still too small, maintaining the balance of gravity and distance is difficult for you. Just a slight movement and the ring might disperse. You should focus on growing yourself first!"

Afterward, Lu Chen and Wandering continued to roam, searching for targets to plunder within the Yin Yang Star System.

As Lu Chen only needed Hydrogen, he scrutinized the hydrogen content in the atmosphere of each Planet.

Indeed, places in the Universe with plenty of Hydrogen, besides Constant Stars and nebulas, are found in planetary atmospheres.

Cosmic Storms are hard to come by.

After careful observation, only planets with an atmosphere consisting of over seventy percent Hydrogen came under Lu Chen’s notice for plundering.

Surely, if the Hydrogen content was lower than seventy percent, it means other substances were more prevalent, which is disadvantageous for evolving into a Constant Star.

After searching for a while.

Lu Chen finally found a Planet in the atmosphere of which the Hydrogen content surpassed seventy percent.

This Planet was on the fifth orbit of the Yin Yang Star System, with a mass of about eleven planetary masses and a very dense atmosphere, containing over seven layers of Hydrogen.

With Lu Chen’s current mass of over a hundred planetary masses, using Roche limit to tear apart this Planet was a piece of cake.

However, Lu Chen did not do so, first, because it would take up too much time, and secondly, tearing it apart wouldn’t be of much use, at most increasing the thickness of the ring.

This kind of showy prestige was unnecessary to overly pursue.

Additionally, when Lu Chen previously absorbed Feather Robe Star, he acquired its Gravity Stone, which could enhance the upper limit of gravity. He also wanted to take this opportunity to test the effects.

Immediately, Lu Chen stationed himself ten thousand meters away from this Planet, then directed the Gravity Stone towards it, controlling the gravity to emanate through the Gravity Stone and began to plunder the atmosphere of this planet on a small scale.

The invisible and shadowless gravity seemed like a suction fan, continuously drawing the Planet’s atmosphere towards him over a distance of a hundred thousand meters, resembling a long and winding cosmic fog dragon.

In the end, Lu Chen took a very short amount of time to completely plunder the planet’s atmosphere, saving four-fifths of the time compared to tearing apart a planet!

It appears that the Gravity Stone is indeed very useful and practical!

With the Gravity Stone, Lu Chen’s path toward evolving into a Super Planet would surely accelerate significantly!
