684: Girl, you look delicious.

The planet exploded like fireworks, blooming into a brilliant flower in the dark Universe.

Debris from the shattered earth flew past Dr. Bai's ear and into space.

Or rather, from now on, there would be no more earth here; this was space.

Lao Bai stared blankly as the endless earth and stones scattered far away, still a bit dazed.

"I thought he was joking when he said he could blow up a planet..."

Washing his hands in a Planet Destroyer Cannon was one thing.

After all, the range of a Planet Destroyer Cannon was tens, hundreds, or even several kilometers.

The energy level per square centimeter was not as strong as imagined.

When Yang Dian previously washed his hands in a Planet Destroyer Cannon, Lao Bai found it absurd, but if the subject was Yang Dian, Lao Bai actually found it reasonable.

But now?

A Human body!

Less than two meters tall!

Less than one meter wide!

A Human with an average volume of 0.1 cubic meters shattered a planet with a diameter of about 8,000 kilometers!

What kind of scale comparison was this?

"Should I also make myself a body and practice martial arts?"

Lao Bai doubted himself in the sky.

Originally, at the core of the unnamed planet, Yang Dian used the Law of Heaven and Earth to transform himself into a 30,000-meter-tall giant, holding Stia's head—who he had punched back into the Star Dome Realm—in one hand, and sneered:

"You think you can escape?"

Stia opened one eye, which was between Yang Dian's fingers, and said without a trace of emotion:

"I know you must have left something on me, but do you know why I set up 72 teleportation arrays on the planet leading in different directions, and why I chose to come here?"

Yang Dian flinched, as if a sudden fear had risen within him.

But after Stia showed a look of satisfaction, Yang Dian smiled and looked at it, saying, "Are you talking about that teleportation array hidden in a spatial rift, detached from and yet connected to real space, with an unknown destination?"

Hearing Yang Dian's words, Stia's pupils, which had just shown a trace of satisfaction, suddenly constricted.

"Roar~"

With a roar from the Soul, the Human remained still, the wind remained still, the world was unchanged, only Yang Dian's clothes swayed slightly.

He beckoned, and a translucent Dimension Butterfly, appearing like a speck of dust compared to their current size, floated out of the spatial rift and flew before Yang Dian, letting out a satisfied burp.

"Tsk."

"A teleportation array leading to the vicinity of a black hole, with a self-destruct array also set up on the other side, allowing for immediate self-destruction after teleportation to push people towards the black hole."

Receiving the information from the Dimension Butterfly, Yang Dian couldn't help but marvel.

"Amazing."

"This method of mutual destruction, I had never thought of before."

Yang Dian stroked his chin thoughtfully, "What if the teleportation array was placed on a planet, disguised as a Dimension Channel leading to Star Core Space, to lure someone into a trap? Wouldn't that be better?"

As soon as his voice fell, the wisp of the Dao of Fate that Yang Dian controlled suddenly fluctuated, and then a series of images appeared in his mind.

"The power of a black hole can distort space, and it's chaotic, unpredictable, and constantly growing."

"If the teleportation array were placed on a planet, it's possible that the black hole's distorting force could affect this side through the spatial mechanism built by the teleportation array, even at the moment of activation, or even without activation?"

While maintaining a sense of reverence for nature, Yang Dian grabbed Stia's tail and swung it.

With a series of "crack, crack" sounds, an unknown number of bones in the great Dragon's body were directly dislocated by his swing.

Golden Qi and blood overflowed from his palm, surging into Stia's body to seal its source of extraordinary power.

Invisible Mental Energy surged from the abode of his Soul, burrowing into Stia's mind to seal its spirit.

After it had essentially lost all means of resistance, Yang Dian held its tail, positioning its neck towards his mouth.

Seeing the desire rising in Yang Dian's eyes, Stia suddenly felt an indescribable dread.

"You, what do you want to do!"

Amidst the trembling of its Soul, it initiated a Mental Energy exchange with Yang Dian, who had sealed its Sea of Consciousness, and then it heard Yang Dian's greedy murmur.

"Sister, you look so delicious."

As the words fell, Yang Dian had already straightened Stia's body, lifting it by its ribs with both hands, raising it before him, and lowering his head.

"Crack~"

As the crisp sound of scales breaking rang out, Yang Dian, whose head was buried in Stia's long Dragon neck, smelled a fragrance.

It was like plants, like minced meat, and even more like something he didn't know but definitely lacked.

'What Old Ancestor said was indeed true.'

'To use form to supplement form, eat what you want to replenish.'

'By eating a perfect body, even if I can't necessarily become a perfect body, it should still improve my physical condition?'

In his thoughts, Yang Dian subconsciously swallowed.

Then, a cool aura, carrying the breath of life, which made one crave endlessly just by smelling it, overflowed from Stia's neck, followed Yang Dian's throat, and fell into his stomach.

No, it didn't quite fall into his stomach.

The cool aura was still in his esophagus when Yang Dian's powerful digestive ability had already broken it down into countless parts, replenishing his own body.

"Gulp~" "Gulp~" "Gulp~"

As the sounds of swallowing continued, Stia's eyes gradually became vacant, and its body began to shrink rapidly.

In less than three minutes, Yang Dian, who had shrunk in sync with Stia, stopped swallowing and, with great resolve, lifted his head from Stia's Dragon neck.

"Hoo~"

Strands of black impurities, following Yang Dian's exhale, transformed into dark streaks of light and vanished into the deep Universe.

Looking at Stia, which had shrunk to a meter in length in his palm, Yang Dian felt a bit of pity.

"It's a pity, I woke up too early."

"If you had been able to harvest all the living beings on Emerald Star, you should have been able to use that momentum to Breakthrough and advance to the Star Remains Realm, right?"

As he spoke, Yang Dian licked the corner of his mouth again, an indescribable longing appearing in his eyes.

"I imagine at that time, your flesh and blood would surely be even more fragrant and contain more energy."

Stia remained silent.

It lay limply in Yang Dian's palm, as if dead, having lost all its means and strength.

"Don't despair."

Yang Dian reached out and stroked Stia's head.

It was cool to the touch, yet somewhat warm and jade-like, an excellent sensation.

"You won't die."

"You will become a rare treasure of our Huaxia Civilization; you will be an existence comparable to the Imperial Seal and the Heavenly Dao Ghost."

Saying that, he took out a heaven and earth treasures and pushed it into Stia's mouth.

Stia had consumed a lot.

Its body length had gone from just shy of breaking through ten thousand meters to being absorbed by Yang Dian to just shy of being less than one meter; it needed something good to replenish it.

If it truly died, Lao Bai could continue researching its corpse, but Yang Dian would genuinely feel heartbroken.

"I promise, as long as you help elevate the Physiques of all Chinese people to perfect life forms, I will set you free."

Stia, which had been like a corpse without any Mental Energy fluctuations, finally showed some light in its eyes.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Yang Dian affirmed:

"It's definitely true."

The Divine Light in Stia's eyes intensified:

"How many people are there in your Human Race of Huaxia Civilization?"

Yang Dian twitched the corner of his mouth and tapped his wristband twice.

Zero gave the precise answer: including newly born infants, there were a total of 1,537,535,322 people.

The Divine Light in Stia's eyes dimmed again.

'Might as well just die...'
