Chapter 71: Chapter 71 White Dwarf Star

In the silent blackness of space.

A giant hydrogen cloud drifts slowly.

This huge hydrogen cloud was formed from an interstellar hydrogen group during a Supernova Explosion, possessing a mass of over ten Constant Star Masses.

When the nebula group attracts the light of the universe, it displays an array of colorful streams, as if a divine hand has painted an exquisitely beautiful oil painting in the universe.

Later, after a long period of drifting.

This giant hydrogen cloud slowly moved away from the remnants of the Supernova Explosion, entering deeper cosmic space.

One day, this giant hydrogen cloud encountered a White Dwarf Star formed from the death of a small-mass star, influenced by the White Dwarf Star’s gravity, they began to draw closer to each other.

This White Dwarf Star, in its lifetime, had a mass of over three thousand Constant Star Masses, after death, its surface gases dissipated, leaving only a White Dwarf composed of countless carbon atoms.

The surface temperature of the White Dwarf Star is over eight thousand degrees, emitting a faint white light, from afar, it does not look as dazzling as a Constant Star, instead, it resembles a relatively soft white light orb.

However, even a White Dwarf Star is not eternal, after about 20 billion years of a long glowing period, it will gradually cool down and darken, turning into a completely dead black dwarf star!

If it were an ordinary White Dwarf Star, it would certainly have to accept its fate, however, this White Dwarf Star is a Celestial Civilization of Intention, it has endured one death already and does not want to experience another!

Moreover, it was originally a bright member of the Star Clan, to become a cold dark black dwarf is absolutely unacceptable to it!

Therefore, it decided to change itself, to seek a way to survive.

Previously as a Constant Star, it had never actively devoured or plundered hydrogen, but later it was plundered by a Medium-mass star of half of its hydrogen, causing its Constant Star life to end prematurely and become a lone White Dwarf Star.

And that Medium-mass star may have become a large-mass star through plunder, now imposing in the universe!

It began to gradually understand that this universe is a world where the strong prey on the weak, whether there is life or not, the plundering of resources is always occurring!

Thus, when it finally encountered a giant hydrogen cloud, the desire deep inside it could no longer be suppressed, erupting out like a beast unleashed.

One could see it insanely controlling gravity to pull the giant hydrogen cloud over, starting to wantonly plunder and absorb, continuously forming a layer of pure hydrogen atmosphere outside the solid-state White Dwarf Star.

When the plundered hydrogen reached five Constant Star Masses, the White Dwarf Star’s surface violently rubbed against the hydrogen, rapidly increasing temperature and pressure, reaching the conditions for Hydrogen Nuclear Fusion, thus naturally initiating a nuclear fusion reaction.

It finally transformed from a White Dwarf Star into a glowing "Constant Star"!

However, it was different from a normal Constant Star, as normal stars have nuclear fusion reactions at their core, but because it had a solid-state White Dwarf Star, the reaction occurred on the surface of the White Dwarf Star.

However, the White Dwarf Star did not mind.

As long as it could shine and emit heat again, even if the nuclear fusion reaction occurs on the surface, it would be acceptable.

Moreover, feeling the thrill of being reborn, the White Dwarf Star’s heart leapt for joy, it instantly fell deeply in love with this sensation of growth through plunder!

It greatly regretted, why had it not embarked on this path sooner?

As the White Dwarf Star was fervently absorbing the giant hydrogen cloud, it suddenly sensed a celestial body approaching from a distance, and it could also feel the presence of Intention on the other party.

Focusing its gaze, it saw a Constant Star, with a special Metal Planet revolving around it.

Seeing this situation, the White Dwarf Star became fully alert; it involuntarily recalled the previous time it had been plundered, and this time it would not let the same incident occur again!

At this moment, it had concluded in its heart that the approaching Constant Star was here to plunder hydrogen.

Even unknowingly, it had transferred the hatred it had from being previously plundered by Medium-mass stars onto the Constant Star in front of it!

"If you come any closer, don’t blame me for my ruthless moves!"

The White Dwarf Star sent out a chilling message of consciousness and immediately hastened the absorption speed of the giant hydrogen cloud.

Because it knew, even if the other party heard its words, they surely would not comply quietly; it ultimately had to keep everything in its own hands.

When Lu Chen and the Wandering detected the intense surge within the giant hydrogen cloud, they also sensed the presence of a White Dwarf Star inside, whose faint glow was emitted by it.

However, from the brightness of the glow, they could determine that the nuclear fusion on the White Dwarf Star’s surface was not very intense; the light it emitted was not strong!

Lu Chen had long known that this White Dwarf Star belonged to a Celestial Civilization, so he was not surprised when he received the other’s conscious message and replied lightly, "Don’t get agitated, we have no ill intentions. We just want to ask you some questions..."

Swoosh!

Before he could finish speaking, what met Lu Chen was a malicious Crown Hole Radiation accompanied by a severe Constant Star Storm.

In this situation, Lu Chen had no choice but to use Crown Hole Radiation in return to neutralize the attack, then disregarded the Constant Star Storm and quickly flew towards the giant hydrogen nebula.

Since the Constant Star Storm had little effect on Celestial Body Level Civilizations, Lu Chen speculated that its use was probably meant to detect if there were any biological lives on the Wandering.

"Big Brother, that White Dwarf Star is quite aggressive, it might not be easy to ask about the clues for Earth!"

Wandering orbited around Constant Star Lu Chen and uttered softly.

He suddenly felt that Big Brother Lu Chen and the White Dwarf Star would surely end up fighting.

This level of battle was not something he could meddle in; fortunately, according to the current speed calculations, when Lu Chen approached the White Dwarf Star, Wandering would just orbit to the other side and should be able to avoid it.

Lu Chen said indifferently, "Even if it’s difficult to ask, we still need to ask!"

Under his calm tone, there was an immensely firm determination; even if it required fighting, he would continue until the other party spoke.

After all, as the Milky Way nebula and the Andromeda Nebula drew closer, the cosmic catastrophe became increasingly urgent; he had no choice but to race against time, not letting go of any opportunity!

With such a firm determination, Lu Chen soon arrived in front of the White Dwarf Star.

However, the White Dwarf Star was already on guard; just before Lu Chen arrived, it had completely absorbed the giant hydrogen nebula.

At this moment, after absorbing more than ten Constant Star Masses from the Giant Hydrogen Nebula, the mass of the White Dwarf Star had reached forty-two Constant Star Masses, two more than Lu Chen.

Thus, it looked at Lu Chen with immense confidence and sneered: "Heh, I knew you wouldn’t give up so easily. Since you dared to rush over despite the warning, then you can only blame yourself for seeking death, I’ll slowly devour and absorb you!"
