Age of Evolution

Chapter 376: 376: Comet Stage Clone!

Not only Hua Xia but also other countries adopted the same strategy, focusing on capturing the experts on the Three Major Star Rankings.

These people not only have strong capabilities and can lead people of Earth in resistance, but even if they are turned into slaves, they can still be sold for a good price in the interstellar market.

However, Hua Xia’s arrest operation did not go smoothly. In addition to Yan Qiyue and Lin Zhen not being found, An Bihuai and Chen Fenglie seemed to have divine help in escaping.

Still, many experts were captured, such as Gongsun Du, Dongfang Jun, and others. The Dark Star List was basically wiped out in one fell swoop.

In contrast, the situation in other countries was much smoother. Experts from the Heavenly Star List were frequently captured. In just one day, besides Hua Xia’s Heavenly Star List, only the Ice Snow Emperor from the United States and the Black-robed Tyrant from Sand Russia had not been captured.

Eleven out of eighteen people on the Heavenly Star List had already been captured.

In Sky City, Diana looked at the six commanders in front of her with an icy expression.

“Miss… ”

“Call me Count!” Diana coldly interrupted Ya Xuan’s words.

Ya Xuan wiped the sweat from his forehead: “Yes, Count, the operation in Hua Xia did not go smoothly. I have already received news that the Heavenly Star Lin Zhen seems to have been aware of our arrival soon. He informed the rest of the Heavenly Star List in Hua Xia, who escaped our arrest. I am currently searching for them.”

“Have you found them?” Diana asked.

“Apart from Yan Qiyue and Lin Zhen, I can roughly determine the whereabouts of the others. I believe it is only a matter of time before we capture them.”

“What about Lin Zhen and Yan Qiyue?”

“This… the life scanner on the War Fortress is not powerful enough. I would like to borrow the scanner from Sky City. I am sure we can find their traces.”

Diana slowly stood up: “Go ahead, Ya Xuan, you should know that many people within the Empire are competing for the chance to participate in expeditions to native planets. It is your fortune to participate, and you must seize this opportunity, or else many people will replace you.”

“Yes, Count, I understand.”

“Currently, besides Hua Xia, the other countries on Earth have basically stabilized, and as long as the situation in Hua Xia is resolved, immigration will begin. So, you must act quickly.”

Ya Xuan nodded repeatedly, not daring to oppose.

“By the way, it seems that you know two adventurers from the Empire. Have they found the missing Red Rose Transport Ship that went missing a thousand years ago?”

“Yes, they are there right now, but as far as I know, that transport ship has been broken beyond recognition and is essentially useless… ”

“You don’t need to worry about that. Just tell me their Dimensional Universe number, and I’ll meet them.”

After telling Diana the number, Ya Xuan came to the main control table of Sky City.

The life-scanner here came from the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, and the Empire put a lot of money to equip Sky City with it. It runs at the speed of light, covering the entire Earth within a second.

“Scan two targets for me, one above the Satellite Stage and one at the quasi-Star Realm, located in the Bermuda sea area.”

The scanner started, and the halo quickly swept across the Earth’s surface.

However, the number of people at the Satellite Stage remained the same, and Yan Qiyue’s traces could not be found. Instead, the exact positions of Chen Fenglie and others were fully exposed.

“Could it be that Yan Qiyue is not on Earth? Then just scan the Bermuda area.”

The scanning halo swept over the Bermuda sea area again, this time including the seabed.

“Sir Ya Xuan, we have discovered humanoid life traces at the bottom of the Bermuda Sea, the realm… there is fluctuation, unable to test accurately.”

“It must be Lin Zhen, this guy, hiding here as expected!”

Ya Xuan clapped his hands excitedly, finally finding Lin Zhen.

Not caring why Lin Zhen’s realm could not be tested accurately, he immediately issued a notice: “Send a team, target the bottom of the Bermuda Sea, and capture Lin Zhen immediately!”

In the sky, stars twinkled and cold moonlight shone upon the planet below.

This was Lin Zhen’s Dark Star World.

The continental plates on the planet had stabilized, but small crustal movements had not yet stopped, and mountains, oceans, and other things were gradually taking shape.

Once all of this took shape, Lin Zhen’s Dark Star would enter the Primordial Era.

Originally, Lin Zhen was lying drowsily at the bottom of the sea, but it seemed that he felt Xiao Nuan’s call. His spiritual power unintentionally entered the Dark Star in an unconscious state.

At this moment, he seemed to be a pure spiritual body, wandering within the Dark Star World.

He could see himself lying on the seabed, and also felt himself in the Dark Star. This situation of two different thoughts was extremely strange.

Finding the highest peak of the planet by following the call, the howling wind and lightning filled the sky.

At the top of the peak, Xiao Nuan’s body lay limp, on the verge of death.

“Xiao Nuan!”

Lin Zhen flew over in panic, trying to hold Xiao Nuan with his hands, but he ended up entering inside Xiao Nuan’s body instead.

“This is… This is inside Xiao Nuan’s body!”

When Lin Zhen entered, he felt that Xiao Nuan’s body was like his own, which was already broken and battered.

After all, Xiao Nuan was still a young Galaxy Beast, and its body was not mature yet, especially since it had to withstand immense water pressure for Lin Zhen, which finally crushed it.

“Xiao Nuan, you can’t die!”

Lin Zhen could feel Xiao Nuan’s soul in his mind, and its spiritual power was very warm and intimate with Lin Zhen.

Feeling Lin Zhen entering its body, Xiao Nuan’s soul power rubbed against Lin Zhen for a while, and then turned into a light ball, hiding in the deepest part of its mind.

“It’s gone into hibernation!”

Lin Zhen immediately understood Xiao Nuan’s state. It had suffered tremendous physical and mental trauma, so it had no choice but to enter a lengthy hibernation period.

At this moment, Lin Zhen realized what kind of Galaxy Beast Xiao Nuan was.

It turned out that Xiao Nuan was a Fire Kirin!

No wonder when Lin Zhen first saw it, its body was in a volcano, and its essence was fire attribute.

Long red mane, the two small horns on its head, they were all marks that Xiao Nuan was a Fire Kirin.

Inside Xiao Nuan’s body, the Flame Power was much stronger than other elemental energies. Although it had inherited Lin Zhen’s other elements, its strongest was still the Flame Power.

The Fire Kirin was definitely one of the top Galaxy Beasts, and according to Xiao Nuan’s memory, it should be called a Super Star River Beast.

By the time it reaches adulthood, its strength could even rival a World King!

Lin Zhen had only heard rumors about World Kings. Above the Constant Star stage was the Black Hole stage, where martial artists face their calamity. If they could pass through the Black Hole stage, there would be three more levels: Star System, Star Domain, and Star World.

The Star Realm stage was also known as the World King, which was the absolute peak of the universe.

“I must not let Xiao Nuan die. Its soul has entered hibernation, and this process will be incredibly long. As long as its body isn’t destroyed, its soul will have a place to anchor and won’t die, so I have to preserve its body.”

“But the body is already somewhat broken, how can I repair it?”

As Lin Zhen’s spiritual power swept through Xiao Nuan’s body, he found that its muscles and bones were incredibly tough, unmatched by any human or beast.

If it weren’t for this strong body, it wouldn’t have easily followed Lin Zhen to the bottom of the sea. If it hadn’t had to protect Lin Zhen and withstand the water pressure, Xiao Nuan could have dived thousands of meters deeper without any problems.

However, fixing such a powerful body is extremely difficult, especially since Lin Zhen’s spirit was currently occupying Xiao Nuan’s body, and he was not yet familiar with the body’s power.

During this troublesome time, he saw a purple light containing seven types of elemental energy floating in front of him.

“This is… this is the purple qi produced when I evolved into a Dark Star, why is it here?”

The light ball bloomed in front of his eyes, and various elemental energies began to flow within the body.

At this moment, Lin Zhen felt that the purple qi contained an incredibly powerful vitality. It quickly changed Xiao Nuan’s body.’

At this moment, Xiao Nuan’s original body, except for the part protected by Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Consciousness Sea, had changed under the influence of the purple qi. It had almost become the most primitive cells in an instant and began to regroup!

“This is… this is body casting! Can Xiao Nuan’s body be rechanged?”

At this moment, Lin Zhen thought of a possibility.

If he were to simply restore Xiao Nuan’s body to its original state, its consciousness couldn’t be recovered temporarily, so maintaining its original form would be of little use.

This purple qi contains powerful vitality and can recast a body. In that case, could he temporarily transform this body into an avatar?

Lin Zhen knew about avatars, where one could control two bodies with a single thought, and each could act independently of the other – both being the same person yet also two separate individuals.

However, when people choose avatars, they usually opt for one much stronger than their original body, otherwise it would be meaningless.

In creating an avatar, a flesh-and-blood body is required, not one made of metal. Xiao Nuan’s body was just right for this purpose.

“In that case, I might as well try to transform this body into an avatar, and when Xiao Nuan wakes up in the future, I’m sure I’ll be able to find a way to recast its body for it.”

As soon as Lin Zhen had this thought, these powerful cells began to condense.

Under the control of the purple qi, a new body gradually took shape.

The skeleton was in human form, followed by the body, organs, flesh, blood, muscles and everything else related to body tissues, all based on the template of Lin Zhen’s own body.

Long hair and facial features were also gradually created, which looked identical to Lin Zhen’s main body.

The purple light flickered, and finally concentrated in his eyes.

Strands of elemental energy swirled around the body, with light and fire being particularly intense.

The eyes opened slowly, and a strong power spread from this avatar.

“Comet Stage! The power of this avatar has actually reached Comet Level 9!”
