497: The passage is open, the Starry Sky Official, the war begins

Nine days passed in a cycle where the communication array would activate every three days, and each time the Little Star God would come to ‘fish’ for something, only to be perfectly obscured by Yang Dian.

On the ninth day, just as the morning sun rose, at the moment the communication array was about to activate again, Zhou Wei approached Yang Dian:

“Young friend, today my Immortal Dynasty’s Celestial Soldiers will descend upon this realm. Please appease your clansmen and prevent any unnecessary conflicts with the Celestial Soldiers.”

“Those Celestial Soldiers are all madmen who only know slaughter. If they set their sights on someone, even my Face might not be enough.”

Yang Dian nodded slightly, “I understand. I will immediately send word to my clansmen to stay in their residences and not go out.”

Zhou Wei nodded with satisfaction:

“That would be for the best.”

Having received Yang Dian’s assurance, he flew into the communication array without looking back.

In his opinion, he had already given the necessary warnings and had done his utmost. If anyone still dared to cause trouble, they deserved to become military merits.

A moment later, the familiar fluctuations rose again, and the Little Star God, just like the previous times, curiously circled above the array.

However, perhaps because its previous three attempts to ‘fish’ had been fruitless, this time it merely ‘tilted’ its body, curiously observing the source of the energy fluctuations, without any other superfluous movements.

Just as Yang Dian was staring at the Little Star God, strictly guarding against it causing any trouble, the Dimension Butterfly suddenly stirred.

“Space fluctuations are coming from far away, attempting to fold and connect the space between two locations, opening a space channel?”

Upon receiving the Dimension Butterfly’s feedback, Yang Dian let out a long breath.

“I’ve been fishing for so long, and the fish have finally bitten.”

“It’s a pity the Light Bringer Civilization backed out.”

“If they could also arrive in a short time and launch a Dimensional War against Lingwen Star, this place might have become a Dimensional Battlefield.”

“I’ve never seen a Dimensional Battlefield before; I wonder how it actually exists…”

As Yang Dian was muttering about the Light Bringer Civilization, a vast spatial fluctuation suddenly emanated from the center of the array.

Withdrawing his gaze from the Little Star God, Yang Dian turned his attention to the center of the array.

Then he saw an elliptical portal, about a hundred meters high and fifty meters wide at its widest point, forcibly ‘squeezing’ out from the center of the array.

‘The people of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty have finally arrived.’

As the thought settled, the Dimension Butterfly also moved with the wind, flapping its wings and flying out from Yang Dian’s glabella, ‘imprinting’ itself onto the elliptical space door in a way incomprehensible and unobservable to ordinary people.

Zhou Wei and Xu You watched as the Celestial Official, clad in a starry Daoist robe, frowned as soon as he stepped out of the space channel, and their hearts couldn’t help but twitch:

“Celestial Official of Stars, is something amiss?”

The Celestial Official of Stars heard this, withdrew his gaze from the elliptical space door, and shook his head slightly:

“The cross-realm gate is consuming energy a bit too quickly, more than ten times faster than usual.”

Saying that, he raised his head again, his gaze piercing through the deep, vast sea, looking at the stars hidden in the morning light:

“Of course, it might be because this world is too far from the Immortal Dynasty, which is why it requires so much energy to maintain the cross-realm…”

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

“How do these stars seem so close?”

Muttering, he raised his hand and grabbed towards the sea surface.

The next moment, the nanobots forming the true illusion were torn apart by the Celestial Official of Stars, revealing the real sky behind it.

Thus, the Celestial Official of Stars saw the Little Star God circling in outer space, motionless but emitting curious emotions.

This scene was naturally also seen by Zhou Wei, who had been standing beside him.

“This… this… this…”

The Celestial Official of Stars looked down at Zhou Wei, who was bewildered, pointing at the Little Star God, and stammering, unable to speak.

Then his expression darkened, and he said with a hint of gloom:

“You have likely been set up.”

After briefly explaining Zhou Wei’s experience, the Celestial Official of Stars made some calculations with his fingers, and his expression grew even gloomier:

“The so-called Lingwen Clan was already annihilated by an unknown technological civilization a year ago.”

“Even if they hadn’t been annihilated, the Lingwen Clan was not a good thing.”

“According to my calculations, they…”

Before the Celestial Official of Stars could finish speaking, a small, dark tadpole, about the size of a pinky finger joint, suddenly appeared in front of him, circling him once.

“A tadpole, swimming in space without water? What kind of thing is this? How did it appear here?”

The Celestial Official of Stars reached out his right hand to grab the tadpole.

But to his surprise, the tadpole seemed non-existent, passing directly through his palm, emerging from the back of his hand, and flying towards the cross-realm gate, wagging its slender tail.

“Not good!” Realizing something was wrong, the Celestial Official of Stars’ entire Aura erupted.

But before he could make his next move, the tadpole had already drifted into the cross-realm gate opened by the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty.

“Buzz~”

With a sound that seemed to come from the depths of space, a bone-shaking rumble, the originally elliptical cross-realm gate instantly expanded.

In just the blink of an eye, the originally bright silver cross-realm gate transformed into a perfectly spherical Wormhole, over 300 meters in diameter, with internal and external Chaos, pitch black.

Before the cross-realm gate turned into a Wormhole, the Dimension Butterfly, which had already obtained the spatial coordinates of Canglan Star where the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty was located, flew back to Yang Dian’s glabella first and transmitted a piece of information to him.

“The cross-realm gate opened by the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty has been completely solidified, forming a Wormhole.”

“As long as the Wormhole Tadpoles don’t die, the Wormhole will exist forever?”

“These Wormhole Tadpoles actually have this kind of ability?”

Having just received the message from the Dimension Butterfly, Yang Dian heard a series of neat, uniform wing beats resounding in the high heavens.

Looking up, wasn’t it true that more than a dozen Wormholes had already appeared in the high heavens, with countless Winged Flame Dragons flapping their wings and flying out of the Wormholes, filling the entire sky?

Besides the Winged Flame Dragons, there were also Star Tinder Behemoths ranging from tens to hundreds of meters tall, Electric Eels over a hundred meters long with electric light all over their bodies, countless mechanical resonance cicadas emitting “zhi zhi” sounds, whose synchronized chirping could create ripples in space… The moment the Celestial Official of Stars tore through the true illusion, the Little Star God also found the toy hidden beneath the true illusion that it had tried to ‘fish’ for many times but failed to get.

Then, the Silicon-based life living on it swarmed out.

The Celestial Official of Stars, who had initially looked somewhat solemn, slowly relaxed his solemn expression after seeing the Silicon-based life emerging from the Wormhole:

“Fortunately, it’s not a powerful civilization.”

With that, he curled his fingers into a claw and grabbed towards the sky.

Stars appeared in broad daylight.

Countless stars outside the sky flickered, casting boundless starlight that instantly pierced through the space above Lingwen Star, turning the entire Lingwen Star into a purgatory of light pillars.

‘The Celestial Official of Stars’ ability is to control starlight energy?’

‘Why do those light pillars feel a bit unstable?’

The moment the thought arose, Yang Dian felt that the countless light pillars falling from the high heavens became violent.

A moment later, the light pillars shattered into smoke and clouds.

Countless starlights rose from the smoke and clouds, enveloping the entire world, and at the same time, annihilating the Silicon-based life that flew out of the Wormhole into dust.

Yang Dian slapped away a fragment of shimmering light that shot towards his head, not without a hint of admiration.

‘Celestial Official, seems to be stronger than I imagined?’
