652: The place where the star debris fell
He raised a hand, hooked, and picked up two Thunder Silkworm cocoons.
After glancing at the intricate patterns on the cocoons, Yang Dian surveyed the Lei Ze (Thunder Marsh) once more.
The Thunder Silkworm had already integrated into the omnipresent lightning of the Lei Ze (Thunder Marsh).
Of course, if he wanted to, he could still catch the Thunder Silkworm.
But it was still the same sentiment.
There was no need.
To him, the Thunder Silkworm was, at most, a small pet.
“However, the cocoons’ ability to shed their shells and Rebirth is quite impressive.”
“After suffering an unbearable injury, they shed their shell and Rebirth, escaping all injuries.”
“Shedding a shell once reduces some strength; once strength drops to a certain level, the Soul is cleansed, returning to a pure, nascent state.”
“In this situation, how many who have witnessed the cocoons’ abilities would choose to forcefully kill them rather than contract them as pets?”
“Their ability to survive is top-notch.”
“I just don’t know if these cocoons will break out of their cocoons and turn into butterflies.”
“Did they fall from the Universe, or from the Dimension Rift?”
“In any case, they shouldn’t be native creatures of Tiannan Star, right?”
Thinking, Yang Dian tapped his wristband again:
“Zero, how is the historical compilation of Tiannan Star coming along? Are there any records of when the Lei Ze (Thunder Marsh) and Han Quan (Cold Spring) appeared?”
As Yang Dian finished speaking, Zero’s voice responded:
“Under the zombie apocalypse, Tiannan Star’s historical and cultural records are severely fragmented.”
“According to the data collected so far, special regions such as Lei Ze (Thunder Marsh), Han Quan (Cold Spring), and Fire Pool have existed since ancient times, making it impossible to determine their specific time of existence.”
“However, before Tiannan Star’s Qi Revival, the Lei Ze (Thunder Marsh) only had a diameter of a hundred meters.”
“The Han Quan (Cold Spring) was not cold; it was just an ever-flowing spring.”
“The Fire Pool also only emitted fire, unlike now, where the flames are almost solidified.”
Yang Dian nodded thoughtfully.
After he took the Cold Silkworm from the Han Quan (Cold Spring), the Han Quan (Cold Spring) lost its coldness and reverted to a normal, albeit slightly deep, spring.
“So, it’s rule-bound life forms like the Cold Silkworm that have affected these special areas?”
He reached out and touched the Cold Silkworm, which was standing upright on his shoulder, constantly looking outwards as if searching for the Thunder Silkworm. After pondering for a while, Yang Dian asked again:
“If you encounter the Thunder Silkworm, will you fight?”
The Cold Silkworm turned its head and looked at Yang Dian with a somewhat bewildered expression:
“I live in the water pool, he lives in the thunder pool, how would we meet?”
Yang Dian was choked by the Cold Silkworm’s question. He turned and glanced at the Cold Silkworm before walking away.
From the Cold Silkworm’s answer, it could be inferred that there was no hostile relationship between the silkworms, at least not a life-and-death one.
If it were life-and-death, this little Cold Silkworm would have urged him to confront the Thunder Silkworm long ago.
Furthermore, there was no trace of a Dimension Channel here in Lei Ze (Thunder Marsh); to find the Star Core Space, he would have to explore other places.
“According to the route planned by Zero, the next stop should be the Fire Pool.”
Fire Pool, Eye of the Storm, Cloud Mist Wonderland… As time passed, Yang Dian’s figure constantly appeared in various forbidden lands on Tiannan Star.
In the Fire Pool, he found the Fire Silkworm, which could breathe fire.
In the eye of the typhoon at sea, he found the Wind Silkworm, which could control storms.
In the clouds above the Arctic sky, he found the Illusion Silkworm, which could control aurora illusions.
And then, that was all.
He couldn’t find a new Dimension Channel.
Nor could he find the remaining four silkworms with unknown abilities that the Cold Silkworm spoke of after its Legacy memory emerged.
The highest peak of Tiannan Star, Mount Zhage Summit.
Bathed in the golden sunlight, he turned his head and surveyed the magnificent snow-capped mountains, which appeared resplendent under the sun. Yang Dian let out a slight breath and then squeezed the Cold Silkworm’s springy body:
“You really can’t remember what other attributes the other silkworms possess?”
“I really can’t remember.” The Cold Silkworm’s voice was somewhat lazy:
“I just remember that there are nine bugs like us.”
“We hatched from the same cocoon, and after hatching, we fell out of that colorful place.”
“I fell into the water; I don’t know where the other bugs fell.”
Yang Dian sighed with a hint of regret:
“Only seeing five Divine Silkworms is a bit of a pity.”
Having followed Yang Dian for some time and now understanding the meaning of ‘divine,’ the Cold Silkworm straightened its body:
“I am the true Divine Silkworm; they are fakes.”
“Alright, alright.” Rubbing the Cold Silkworm, whose face was full of stubbornness, Yang Dian carried it from the snow-capped peak down into a secluded valley, walking to a smooth cliff face.
“Why are we here again?” The Cold Silkworm looked at the mirror-smooth cliff face in front of Yang Dian, arching its body into a question mark shape, somewhat puzzled.
Ever since it learned about Chinese punctuation, it loved to pose as punctuation marks.
Among them, the question mark and exclamation mark were used the most.
“This is already your fifth time coming to this place.”
Hearing the Cold Silkworm’s question, Yang Dian helplessly reached out and rubbed his face:
“Because there’s a channel here.”
“Entering it might yield a large amount of resources.”
“You should know what resources are, right?”
The Cold Silkworm, which had turned itself into an exclamation mark, said eagerly:
“I know, I know.”
“Since we can get a lot of resources, what are we hesitating for?”
“Let’s go in quickly!”
“I want to become super, super, super strong!”
Looking down at the eager Cold Silkworm, Yang Dian frowned and said:
“But…”
He extended his fingertip into the cliff face, or rather, into the Dimension Channel.
Feeling the chilling cold emanating from his fingertip, Yang Dian’s frown deepened immediately.
“But I always feel that this Dimension Channel is a bit off.”
It wasn’t like the Dimension Channel to the Lizardmen Alien Planet, which was filled with radiation.
Nor was it like the Dimension Channel to the Strange Star and Azurewave Star, where the Dimension Channel was merely a passage recording the planet’s civilization history.
This channel felt more special to Yang Dian.
He tapped his glabella to summon the Dimension Butterfly.
Yang Dian ignored the Cold Silkworm, which instinctively stretched its body and wanted to cling to the Dimension Butterfly upon seeing it again, and pointed at the Dimension Channel, saying:
“Go inside and check again, confirm if there’s any danger.”
The Dimension Butterfly flew into the Dimension Channel as instructed.
A few seconds later, it flew out of the Dimension Channel, similarly ignoring the Cold Silkworm that wanted to cling to it, and directly burrowed into Yang Dian’s glabella.
At the same time, Yang Dian also received an extremely certain message transmitted by the Dimension Butterfly.
“Confirming there’s no threat inside the channel…”
After pondering for a moment, Yang Dian ultimately decided to trust the Dimension Butterfly and stepped into the Dimension Channel.
Then, a colorful, upside-down world with chaotic spatial concepts appeared before his eyes.
The sky was below, the ground was above, left and right were confused, and colors were chaotic and distorted.
He wanted to lift his right foot, but his left hand uncontrollably lifted instead, even wanting to slap himself.
“This place…”
The words he spoke were incoherent; it was as if only his conscious thoughts still belonged to him, not distorted by the world.
One eye rotated clockwise, the other counter-clockwise for two turns. After acquiring enough information, a message suddenly appeared in Yang Dian’s mind.
‘Place where the Star Remains fell.’
Dimension Rift!
