317: Magma Red Carp

“Amazing!” Su Qinglian gave Yang Dian a thumbs-up.

“Who could be more amazing than you?”

Yang Dian curled his lip.

“You’re so boring, always so sarcastic.”

At this point, Yang Dian snapped his fingers again, dissolving all the star matter and then reabsorbing it into his body.

“Alright, if you have nothing else, go back. I have work to do.”

“Hey, hey, hey!” Su Qinglian called out to Yang Dian.

“You still haven’t told me how you used your transcendent power to attack from a distance on the Alien Planet.”

“And when that attack landed on me, why didn’t it hurt me?”

Yang Dian glanced at Su Qinglian.

“The detached energy is also my energy, and my energy bears my imprint.”

“So, is it that difficult to control the energy so it doesn’t harm you?”

“As for why I can use transcendent power on the Alien Planet?”

Yang Dian chuckled.

“If you’re strong enough, you can.”

“What if the external energy is weakened tenfold?”

“If they can’t block it, they just can’t block it!”

Do you understand the value of vast Life Qi + Earth-Splitting + Sky-Rending + the sharp, murderous qualities of the Metal Element of the Five Elements?

After speaking, Yang Dian took a few steps forward and arrived in front of the Dimension Crystal Mine.

Looking at the Crystal Lizardman inside the mine, which had recovered from hand-sized to adult-sized, Yang Dian raised an eyebrow, then turned and left.

“Hey, wasn’t your purpose for coming to the Alien Planet that Dimension Crystal Mine, or the Alien Planet’s core inside it?”

“Besides the Dimension Crystal Mine and the Alien Planet’s core, is there anything else here that you’d be interested in?”

Yang Dian nodded, indicating that Su Qinglian’s thoughts were correct.

“This trip to the Lizardmen Alien Planet was indeed for the Alien Planet’s core.”

“But I just thought of something.”

Su Qinglian asked with some curiosity.

“What is it?”

Yang Dian took Su Qinglian and flew up, landing in the valley where the greenery was evergreen all year round.

He made a circle in the air in front of him, and then a ring of Life Qi appeared centered on Yang Dian, sweeping across the entire valley in an instant.

Rocks shattered, large trees broke, and the Six-Armed Lizardmen who rushed forward, howling, were also cut in half, struggling on the ground with their six arms.

After surveying the nearly three hundred Six-Armed Lizardmen guards in the valley, Yang Dian lifted his foot and walked towards the inside of the cave.

“Do you still remember the golden lotus seed that William the vampire asked us for?”

Su Qinglian nodded, “I remember.”

“The golden lotus seed is what I found in this cave.” Yang Dian took Su Qinglian and flew into the cave, following the underground river downwards.

“The golden lotus seed grows on a platform in the center of a lava lake.”

“That lava lake not only has the golden lotus seed but also a group of red carp.”

“Many times, I wanted to catch those red carp to eat, and I also thought about calling the Angler to fish them out, but each time I was delayed by various unexpected circumstances.”

“Last time I came in, Daoist Master also said he wanted to go into that place to transplant lotus roots and, while he was at it, catch two magma red carp to taste.”

“But when I went out to ask him for the carp, he said he saw a meteorite falling from the sky, and he was afraid it would collapse the earth veins, so he thought about waiting outside until the meteorite fell before going to the lava lake.”

“However, not long after returning to Earth, Qingcheng Mountain sent a message asking him to return, and the matter of the magma red carp was thrown to the back of his mind.”

As he spoke, Yang Dian had already brought Su Qinglian to the edge of the lava lake.

“This time, no matter what, I must take these red carp with me!”

As his words fell, Yang Dian stretched out his hand and pressed it towards the fiery red lava.

“Bang!”

The fiery red lava surged upwards, and red carp, each at least a meter long, were carried into the sky by the surging lava, flapping their bodies in a panic.

Yang Dian pointed his finger, and the scorching lava, carrying the carp, poured into his spatial wristband.

As each magma red carp was collected into the wristband, Yang Dian felt the Fire Element energy in the lava lake gradually become restless.

The ‘Earth’ seemed to be angry.

It wanted to express its emotions.

Which meant, to erupt some lava.

Besides that, Yang Dian had thought that the Alien Planet’s malice, which had already risen as high as it could, increased again.

However, according to common sense, if the malice reached this level, divine punishment should have descended, and red lotuses should have bloomed from the ground long ago.

But the reality was that no anomalies appeared.

The lava was still the same lava, only the Fire Element energy became a bit more restless after he took away the red carp.

Although the sky had been overcast since his arrival, no thunderous punishment had descended.

‘In the struggle between planetary wills, Earth’s Will has already gained an absolute advantage?’

His thoughts swirled for a few moments, and then Yang Dian, under Su Qinglian’s curious gaze, fished out a carp from his wristband and threw it back into the lava lake.

“You caught them, so why did you let them go again?”

Perceiving the gradually calming Fire Element energy, Yang Dian looked into his spatial wristband again.

“These red carp are a bit strange.”

“It seems they stay here to maintain the stability of the fire-attributed energy in the lava.”

“If too many are caught, a large-scale lava eruption will occur here, which would ultimately change the surrounding terrain and environment.”

“I don’t know what this place will become once the lava starts erupting, or what impact it will have on the Alien Planet.”

“But this place will be ours sooner or later, and it’s already quite good as it is, so let’s not risk causing trouble.”

With that, he took off his wristband and handed it to Su Qinglian.

“Take the wristband back and have the Research Institute of Biology study what these red carp are useful for.”

“Besides that, haven’t our Special Administration Bureau made contact with that Fire Flame Turtle in the sea?”

“The Fire Flame Turtle’s true form is a volcano. Have headquarters send someone to give it two red carp and ask it what it feels like after raising the red carp within its body.”

Su Qinglian took the wristband and rubbed it, then asked curiously.

“How did you think of so many things all at once?”

Yang Dian looked at her.

“Didn’t I just think of it by turning my brain?”

“Are you playing too much with your girlfriend that you can’t even think of such simple things?”

Su Qinglian gave Yang Dian a sidelong glance.

“At least I have a girlfriend to play with, unlike some people, tsk~”

Giving Yang Dian a meaningful look, she lightly leaped, a layer of golden light appearing around her.

“I’m leaving~”

“You be careful. If it really doesn’t work out, retreat quickly.”

Watching Su Qinglian, enveloped in golden light, merge into the earth and rocks above the cave, Yang Dian surveyed the cave, his gaze finally resting on the platform in the center of the lava lake.

After a moment of thought, he still chose not to transplant the lotus roots.

What if they didn’t survive?

Anyway, the Alien Planet was going to be conquered, so let them be.

Now that the trivial matters of the lava lake were concluded, Yang Dian had no intention of lingering and, with a movement of his body, flew towards the top of the cave.

As he approached, the mud and rocks at the top of the cave parted like water to either side, and after Yang Dian passed through, they closed up again like water, with no difference from before.

This was the Five Elements of Earth.

Dividing earth like water, allowing passage.

“Then again, does this count as Earth escape?”

Amidst his thoughts, the daylight entered Yang Dian’s eyes.

Flying out from the parting earth, Yang Dian surveyed his surroundings.

His current location was an incredibly smooth, diagonally cut surface.

“According to the location, the cave is directly beneath the peak of the Lizardmen Sacred Mountain?”

Of course, that was in the past.

The current Lizardmen Sacred Mountain had already been cut into two by Yang Dian’s claw, with half the mountain peak having fallen into the earth, leveling the mountain saddle.

He stepped on the smooth cross-section beneath his feet, and Yang Dian chuckled again.

“If there’s a historical discontinuity, and intelligent life is born here in the future, this Lizardmen Sacred Mountain should also become some kind of unsolved mystery, right?”

After laughing, he no longer dwelled on idle thoughts and directly turned his body, flying into the Dimension Crystal Mine.

“Old friend, you’re still so enthusiastic…”
