Chapter 76: Chapter 76 North of Perseus

"Don’t!!"

When Quasi-star saw Lu Chen firing more than ten Crown Hole Radiations, it couldn’t help but be horrified to the point of rupture!

Unfortunately, it was already too late, as those over ten Crown Hole Radiations simultaneously bombarded the Constant Star, rapidly increasing the overall temperature of the Quasi-star.

Though the temperature increase was minuscule for a Constant Star, it was this very trivial difference that triggered a Carbon Nuclear Fusion Reaction at the core of the Quasi-star.

Two extremely powerful forces suddenly erupted inside, beginning a fierce collision!

At the core was Carbon Nuclear Fusion, wrapped around the outer layer was Hydrogen Nuclear Fusion, forming a comprehensive confrontation without dead ends!

At that instant, the Quasi-star felt it could no longer withstand the gravitational pressure and estimated it wouldn’t be long before it was torn apart and shattered!

"Quickly save me!"

The Quasi-star had a strong will to survive, amazingly pleading for help from its enemy Lu Chen, completely setting aside their previous hostility.

"Haha!"

Seeing the previously arrogant Quasi-star instantly cower, Lu Chen and Wandering couldn’t help but laugh out loud; it was just too amusing!

Lu Chen mockingly said: "If only you knew, why did you do it in the first place? It’s impossible for me to save you, I wouldn’t save a sphere that wants to kill me."

"You wanted to know the whereabouts of Earth Civilization, didn’t you? I can tell you if you save me!" The Quasi-star, quite shrewdly, used Earth Civilization as a bargaining chip.

This was almost an offer Lu Chen couldn’t refuse, so he pressed: "Do you really know where Earth is? How do I know you’re not lying to me again? And judging by your condition, you’re beyond saving, there’s nothing I can do!"

"I really know; I once saw a blue planet, exactly like you described, located in the northern arm of Perseus, I will take you there if you save me," the Quasi-star asserted, but in truth, it lied again—what it had seen was a green planet, not a blue one.

Lu Chen helplessly said: "I told you, I can’t save you. You might as well divulge everything about Earth before you die!"

"There is a way; I just have two nuclear fusion zones inside. If you plunder the Hydrogen off my surface, the Hydrogen Nuclear Fusion on the surface should cease!" Desperate, the Quasi-star suggested Lu Chen plunder its Hydrogen—knowing today, why act at the outset!

Lu Chen said: "Your mass is bigger than mine; I can’t plunder with my gravity!"

In fact, Lu Chen still had a Gravity Stone, which could enhance gravity enough to plunder, but he was unwilling. He always felt that the Quasi-star only said it now because it obviously wanted to deceive him again, and he would not fall for it!

At this moment, Wandering also joked: "Since you think reducing Hydrogen can save your life, why don’t you just eliminate gravity? Without gravitational constraints, the Hydrogen would naturally disperse."

Quasi-star: "..."

While it seemed like a solution, the problem was that the Quasi-star was now entirely gaseous; removing its gravity would be akin to suicide!

Boom!

While the three spheres conversed, the Quasi-star’s condition worsened severely. The Carbon Nuclear Fusion at the core released more energy than the surface’s Hydrogen Nuclear Fusion. The collision instantly blew the Quasi-star’s massive body apart, resembling a minor Supernova Explosion, sending a vast amount of gas escaping all around!

As the Quasi-star disintegrated, its Consciousness Field also shattered, leaving plenty of Intentions exposed in space, killed by the surrounding ferocious energy and turning into part of the Cosmic Radiation Particles.

During this process, Lu Chen was paying close attention, eager to further understand the process of death in Celestial Civilizations.

Unfortunately, the death of the Quasi-star was much like that of Cang Ming, both being suddenly blown apart, leaving no remnants, and Lu Chen did not observe any useful information.

While closely observing, Lu Chen released Gravity, furiously absorbing the massive amount of Hydrogen erupting out.

Most of this Hydrogen was taken from him by the Quasi-star before, along with some gases inherently belonging to the Quasi-star. By absorbing all this Hydrogen, the Constant Star Mass of Lu Chen increased to about 44.

He not only regained the mass lost before but also gained some gases from the Quasi-star.

Of course, the total mass of the Quasi-star wasn’t just that, more gases and materials were ejected into Cosmic Space.

Once the mass of Lu Chen’s Constant Star reached 44, both his star temperature and the range of nuclear fusion zones were slightly higher than before, but the increase wasn’t significant.

At this moment, Wandering returned to its orbit, continuing to revolve around Lu Chen.

Wandering asked, "Big brother, you absorbed some of the Quasi-star’s Hydrogen, did you get any of its Intentions? See if what it said at the last moment was true?"

"No, the situation of the Quasi-star and Cang Ming is quite different," Lu Chen regretfully said. "Cang Ming exploded but had the Constant Star Wind’s damping compression, so its Consciousness Field didn’t shatter instantly, preserving some Intentions. However, the Quasi-star had no buffer and just exploded directly, not preserving any Intentions."

Wandering said, "It’s a pity, but I didn’t expect you to be so powerful, blowing the Quasi-star to smithereens without leaving a trace!"

"Well, let’s not talk about it," Lu Chen sighed lightly with a sense of helplessness. "It was purely good luck; it doesn’t have much to do with my strength. It seems my power is still far from enough!"

This period made him realize again how severely inadequate his power was.

After all, he couldn’t always be the lucky one in every battle; in the end, victory must rely on real strength.

Previously, when at the Planet stage, he thought evolving into a Constant Star was secure, but unexpectedly, after becoming a Constant Star, the dangers he faced seemed to have increased. It seems he still needed to enhance his own strength; without sufficient power, nothing was stable!

Wandering did not continue on this topic but instead said, "Big brother, since the Quasi-star left no Intentions, do you think its last words could be true?"

"It’s hard to say..."

Lu Chen mused: "Generally, the conditions thrown out at the brink of death are true, but considering the Quasi-star had lied before, we can’t rule out that it might deliberately say those things to snatch a slim chance of survival."

Wandering pondered for a moment and said, "So, what should we do next?"

"Since the Quasi-star mentioned the direction where it saw the blue planet, whether true or false, let’s go check it out," Lu Chen thought for a while before deciding. "Right now, we have no other clues, let’s just try our luck!"

Following this, Lu Chen and Wandering set sail once again, heading towards the north of Perseus as mentioned by the Quasi-star, continuing on the arduous path to find Earth and humanity. With nebula-level collisions possibly occurring at any moment, perilous like precarious eggs, they must clarify the situation of Earth as soon as possible.
