306: Boss, help

However, unlike Lin Tianwei, who acted on a whim, they would often make thorough preparations before refining a planet.

To enable the internal space to change with the body's size, two conditions must be met.

The first condition is to possess a Space-type Talent.

The Star Devouring Space that Lin Tianwei possesses is the ultimate manifestation of a Space-type Talent.

Despite being only the size of a dot, it can accommodate the massive Blue Star, perfectly achieving the Legendary divine ability effect of a mustard seed containing a world.

Furthermore, as Lin Tianwei's strength grows, the Star Devouring Space will also become even larger.

The compression ratio will also become more exaggerated.

Therefore, the simplest way to achieve the ability for the internal space to change with volume is to possess a similar Space-type Talent.

And it must be a Space-type Talent of an extremely high level.

However, achieving this effect purely through a Space-type Talent requires too much Space Energy,

which virtually no Planetary-level or Star-level Cosmic Beast can afford.

Coupled with the extreme rarity of high-level Space-type Talents, there is also a clever workaround.

That is, to integrate a Space-type treasure called star gleam stone into the internal space,

imbuing the internal space with the ability of a mustard seed containing a world.

At that time, only a minimal amount of Space Energy would be needed to freely control the size of the internal space.

So that his combat power would not be hindered by the internal planet.

Therefore, the second condition is to acquire a star gleam stone.

Cosmic Beasts that plan to refine giant planets usually prepare star gleam stones in advance and learn Space-type Talents.

Naturally, they would not encounter an awkward situation like Lin Tianwei's.

Sighing, Lin Tianwei indicated that his accumulation was still too shallow.

He had neither the time nor the resources to make full preparations.

Unless Lin Tianwei could pack up and take Ze Star with him,

otherwise, if he had to wait until he found a star gleam stone and improved his internal space, Ze Star would likely have already become the possession of other powerhouses.

In the universe, Chance is something that can be encountered but not sought; once given up and not fought for, the missed opportunity might be forever.

While Lin Tianwei already possessed a Space-type Talent, star gleam stone was nowhere to be found.

As a Space-type treasure, star gleam stone is not only priceless but also extremely difficult to acquire.

It is only occasionally found in newly born Chaos Universes.

Every appearance of a star gleam stone would cause a scramble among countless races, and the final transaction price would be an unimaginably exorbitant sum.

After all, being able to accommodate a larger planet represents greater strength.

As for more information, there was none at all in Zeta's memory.

After all, for a Cosmic Beast like Zeta, breaking through to Star-level was already an extremely fortunate stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Priceless treasures like star gleam stone were simply not something he cared about.

If he hadn't accidentally heard other planet hunters mention it, Zeta wouldn't even have known of the existence of star gleam stone.

According to Lin Tianwei's conjecture, even the top-tier Dawn Merchant Guild in the Extremely Cold Universe would not always have star gleam stones in stock.

Even if he was lucky enough to encounter a star gleam stone, it would definitely require an exorbitant price to purchase.

Conservatively estimated, the price would definitely not be lower than that of a time-type Slave.

In other words, a star gleam stone is worth at least several hundred origin cores, or several million yuan crystals.

Such a large amount of origin cores or yuan crystals would take Lin Tianwei a significant amount of time to acquire.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei couldn't help but frown.

Does he have to remain in his Star Devouring Beast Avatar state until he acquires a star gleam stone?

For Lin Tianwei, this was undoubtedly not a good choice.

Although leveraging the prestige of the Star Devouring Behemoth allowed Lin Tianwei to gain advantages in many situations,

this also meant super big trouble.

What he feared was not other Cosmic Beasts, but rather the true form of the Star Devouring Behemoth.

That terrifying existence possessing numerous Mythical level Talents.

Once he attracted its attention, Lin Tianwei's situation would become dangerous.

Directly obliterating Lin Tianwei?

For Lin Tianwei, that would actually be the best outcome.

After all, Lin Tianwei possessed many life-saving methods; even if his main body died, he would absolutely be able to survive.

At most, he would start over and resume his cultivation from scratch.

For Lin Tianwei, this was actually a very simple matter.

All things are difficult before they are easy.

Retracing his old path would be an incredibly simple matter.

What he feared was that Lin Tianwei's peculiar existence would attract the Star Devouring Behemoth's covetous gaze, causing it to target him.

The Talent Extraction System was Lin Tianwei's biggest secret.

Although the Talent Extraction System was extremely concealed,

facing the incomparably powerful true form of the Star Devouring Behemoth, Lin Tianwei had no confidence in being able to keep it hidden.

Therefore, not attracting the attention of this super big shot was Lin Tianwei's best option.

After much deliberation, Lin Tianwei ultimately decided to try using Space Energy.

To see if he could achieve free changes in the size of his internal space through Space Energy.

Using star gleam stone as a workaround was indeed a good choice.

However, Lin Tianwei could also choose to break through with sheer force, using his powerful Space Energy to clear all obstacles for himself.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei looked at the Star Devouring Space, that mysterious dot.

Since Lin Tianwei had not mastered the relevant Talents, the only reference he had was naturally the Star Devouring Space.

If he could gain some enlightenment from the Star Devouring Space, Lin Tianwei would also be able to more easily find a way to change his internal space.

This observation lasted for a full month.

After a month of observation, Lin Tianwei finally gained some enlightenment from the Star Devouring Space.

He attempted to communicate with the Space Energy Star within his body,

drawing the terrifying Space Energy hidden within it to spread towards his internal world.

As the silver energy representing Space Energy continuously merged into Lin Tianwei's internal space,

his internal space underwent a miraculous change.

With a thought, under Lin Tianwei's gaze, his internal space actually shrunk by a tenth instantly.

Of course, it was only a visual reduction.

In reality, Lin Tianwei's internal space was still that large, but under the effect of Space Energy, it achieved Space Compression in a spatial sense.

Only 90% of its original volume remained.

Lin Tianwei was overjoyed; this path indeed worked.

Although it consumed a huge amount of Space Energy, it did achieve the compression of the internal space.

However, this was still not enough, far from enough.

Even with only 90% of its volume, the internal space was still somewhat terrifyingly large.

At least, it was not something Lin Tianwei in his main body state could contain.

Since that's the case, continue to compress it!

Under Lin Tianwei's control, the Space Energy Star began to spin wildly, quickly transforming into a silver orb of light.

Continuously releasing silver Space Energy outwards.

With the frantic output of Space Energy, Lin Tianwei's internal space was also being compressed little by little.

Eventually, it was compressed from a diameter of several billion meters to a diameter of tens of millions of meters.

This was also the limit to which Lin Tianwei could currently compress his internal space.

Although it was only a few hundred times compression rate, it caused Lin Tianwei to consume half of his Space Energy.

The most terrifying thing was that he still needed to continuously provide Space Energy to maintain his internal space in its current state.

For this reason, the Space Energy Star even entered a sealed state due to excessive energy output.

His strength returned to the previous level of having only the Rejuvenation Star as a Talent Star.

There was no other way; this was the limit Lin Tianwei could achieve without the corresponding Talent.

It was like a replication of the Star Devouring Behemoth Avatar's tactic of smashing people with golden bricks back then.

Without the proper method, Lin Tianwei could only forcibly compress his internal space by consuming a massive amount of Space Energy.

But it doesn't matter,

as long as Lin Tianwei can extract a suitable Space-type Talent,

or acquire a star gleam stone in advance,

he would instantly be able to free the Space Energy Star and regain his Cosmic Level First-Order strength.

Although not particularly strong, it was enough to crush all Star-level Cosmic Beasts.

Although it seemed like Lin Tianwei had toiled in vain,

in reality, Lin Tianwei had reaped a rich harvest.

After all, powerful planets that can match Talent Energy are rare and hard to come by.

It was unknown how long it would take to find a third planet that could be refined into a Talent Star.

Moreover, he also acquired a large amount of Space Energy on this journey, prematurely unlocking the Talent: Star Devourer (Mythical).

Through this Talent, Lin Tianwei could acquire origin cores extremely quickly, which was also his strongest money-making method at the moment.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei once again looked at his successfully compressed internal space.

Although this volume of internal space was still a bit too large for Lin Tianwei's main body,

it was just right for Zeta, who was a member of the Ze Clan.

His not-so-massive body could perfectly accommodate the internal space that had been compressed to its limit.

Talent: Beastification (Extraordinary)!

The Beastification Talent was activated again, and Lin Tianwei's body began to rapidly twist and transform.

Shrinking bit by bit, he eventually took on the appearance of a Ze Clan member.

The Ze Clan's six sturdy arms were incredibly flexible; if working, they could achieve at least three times the efficiency.

They were excellent at mining.

If Lin Tianwei hadn't completely lacked the need for mining workers, he might have accepted Hof's allegiance back then.

However, long-term transformation into Zeta was not convenient either.

Lin Tianwei secretly thought that after solving the internal space issue, he should also put Reinforcement of his main body on the agenda.

Even if there wasn't a suitable Reinforcement plan, he should at least strengthen it slightly and make do for now.

Zeta seemed powerful, but his strength was only Planetary-level Fifth-Order.

His racial Talent was even more ordinary than ordinary.

Lin Tianwei only needed to make a slight move to transform his body into an existence more formidable than Zeta.

Not doing so before was merely because he wanted to achieve it in one go.

Taking out Zeta's communicator from the Tiger Tooth Space, Lin Tianwei once again elegantly transformed into Zeta.

An ordinary Cosmic Beast, with only Planetary-level Second-Order strength.

After all, Lin Tianwei only had two planets within him.

According to the Star Refining Art's strength assessment, he was a genuine Planetary-level Second-Order Cosmic Beast.

Habitually glancing at Zeta's communicator,

Lin Tianwei discovered that he had received a large number of messages during the brief period of refining Ze Star.

Filtering out some junk messages from the Ze Clan, Lin Tianwei found that the beast who sent him the most messages was actually Tore.

This Cosmic Beast he had encountered by Chance at the Transfer Station.

Especially the last message, the four large characters "Boss, help!" were extremely conspicuous.

Shaking his head, Lin Tianwei had no intention of saving Tore.

Are you kidding? He wasn't some saint; how could he casually run off to save a stranger with whom he had only met a few times?

Even if Lin Tianwei had barely owed Tore a tiny favor before,

he had already repaid it after gifting the advanced Mental Power equipment.

What Lin Tianwei disliked most was owing favors to beasts.

This was also why he gave Tore a gift before leaving.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei was about to turn off the communicator.

However, he unexpectedly saw a crucial keyword in the message sent by Tore—Chaos Universe.

The Chaos Universe where star gleam stones are rumored to be born!

This discovery immediately piqued Lin Tianwei's interest.

If this was a newly born Chaos Universe that had not yet been extensively explored by numerous Cosmic Beasts, perhaps he could acquire a star gleam stone from it.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei quickly began to browse the messages sent by Tore:

"Zeta, I have good news for you. I discovered a Chaos Universe on my way home, a newly born Chaos Universe."

"I believe you also know what a newly born Chaos Universe means; it's an endless treasure trove, a mountain of gold waiting to be excavated."

"If you're interested, let me know, and I'll give you the coordinates."

"We'll explore this Chaos Universe together, and the items we obtain will be split nine-one, with you getting one and me getting nine."

... "Zeta, you win."

"I can't enter this Chaos Universe alone, which is why I'm asking for your help."

"As long as you're willing to come, I agree to an eighty-twenty split of the treasures we find."

"Don't think I'm greedy; after all, discovering a newly born Chaos Universe is the key to whether we can gain anything."

... "Damn it, another group of people has also set their sights on this Chaos Universe."

"Although my strength is greater, I still let one Cosmic Beast escape by Chance."

"It was my mistake not to wipe them all out; they definitely won't let it go at that."

"Reinforcement, I need Reinforcement."

"Zeta, as long as you're willing to come and help me, I will definitely not let you suffer a loss."

"Seventy-thirty split! Beyond this ratio, I might as well sell the information to the Dawn Merchant Guild."

... "Holy crap, Zeta, no, Super Boss, the gift you gave me was actually an advanced Mental Power weapon?"

"Thanks to this Mental Power weapon, I was able to survive the enemy's encirclement."

"However, the enemies were still too numerous; I had no power to resist. Escaping with my life was my limit."

"Perhaps I can only venture into this unexplored Chaos Universe to seek a glimmer of hope."

"XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, these are the coordinates of that Chaos Universe."

"As long as Boss is willing to save my dog's life, I am willing to give all the treasures of the entire Chaos Universe to Boss."

"Boss, help!" (End of chapter)
