The Planet's Heart
At this moment, unprecedented changes are taking place deep within the Earth.
A Space Wormhole, five meters in diameter and leading directly to the Earth's surface, suddenly formed.
It was as if a predator had opened its ferocious maw, emanating an aura that inspired fear.
With the appearance of the Wormhole, the Radiant Feathers also completed the sealing off of space.
The matter surrounding the Earth's core was pushed apart by powerful Spatial Energy, forming a huge void.
In the center of this void, the Planetary Core, which should have been surrounded and protected, now floats alone, appearing strangely out of place.
The Planetary Core sensed a threat from Ghouls.
Like a raging beast, it drives its Psychic Energy to surge wildly outward.
These energies, like unstoppable waves in a tsunami, relentlessly crash against the surrounding Spatial Barriers.
Clearly, Ruolan Star is attempting to break through this seemingly indestructible spatial barrier.
However, all of this was in vain.
Both the Spatial Barriers and the Wormholes have stable anchor points— the Radiant Feathers power source.
Radiant Feathers absorbed Shisui's energy and continuously poured it into the space, making the spatial structure exceptionally stable and difficult to shake.
Moreover, there is also Shisui's precise control over Spatial Energy.
The planet was a piece of Psychic Energy was bitten off by Radiant Feathers.
Under his manipulation, Spatial Energy became even more difficult to break through, forming an insurmountable wall.
While controlling Radiant Feathers Shisui, far away in the Ten-Thousand-Blade Mountain Range on the surface, ate the last bite of dragon meat.
The Dragon King's body was large enough, and the energy within it was abundant and diverse.
After being digested, purified, and absorbed by the Rc Cells in Shisui's body, the energy he had originally consumed was instantly replenished.
Having eaten and drunk his fill, Shisui's Psychic Energy fluctuated slightly, washing away all the bloodstains that had splattered on him.
Then, he took a step and in the next moment he reached the depths of the earth's core.
What came into view was a huge, solidified cyan-gold energy body.
The soft light contrasted brilliantly with the pitch-black earth's core.
The energy body is not round; its outline looks more like a giant heart.
My heart pounded, and with each tremor, a hurricane-like surge of Psychic Energy rushed towards me.
An ancient and powerful aura also spread to the area around the current hollow center of the earth.
The Shisui, Kakugan gazed upon the vibrant heart of the planet before them, a rich, complex fragrance wafting over with the Psychic Energy.
It tasted like a roasted orange, a refreshing citrus aroma mixed with sweetness.
The aroma piqued Shisui's interest.
He had just finished a meat feast when the fruit arrived at the perfect time.
It's like having a glass of iced orange juice after a barbecue on a hot summer day—it's hard not to be tempted.
Meanwhile, Ruolan Star, who was on high alert not far away, had no idea what the Ghoul in front of her was thinking.
His voice could not enter Shisui's mind, could not interfere with Shisui's will, and naturally could not read Shisui's thoughts.
Therefore, He could only let His voice resound within the hollow at the Earth's core.
"Your Excellency," His attitude was more favorable than ever before, "I am willing to become your vassal."
In His view, given the choice between a full meal and ensuring food reserves, Shisui would most likely choose the latter.
The reason is simple.
First, according to His perception, the other party had just swallowed the Dragon King.
This means that the other party is not hungry at the moment.
Secondly, He knew that this Ghoul had a habit of hoarding food.
Although this alien species was introduced by the Planetary Will.
But Ruolan Star is the one with the highest authority, so of course He is aware of Shisui's existence.
He was aware of the initial plan to introduce predators to control the number of high-end combat forces of intelligent life within the planet.
Therefore, the planet occasionally keeps an eye on the situation of this alien species.
However, neither He nor the Planetary Will anticipated that this Ghoul would develop so rapidly.
However, Ruolan Star's guess was wrong again.
However, rather than saying that He guessed wrong, it's more accurate to say that He couldn't accept His fate of being devoured.
That's why, at the last moment, He deceived Himself and tried to struggle.
However, Shisui had absolutely no interest in the idea of keeping the Planetary Core under captivity.
This is too troublesome.
Not to mention that the growth rate of the Planetary Core is outrageously slow, even to the point of being agonizingly slow.
This is determined by its long lifespan and extremely high energy density within its body.
This means that the planet's growth rate will be exceptionally slow, in order to prevent the depletion of energy within the universe.
In other words, the Planetary Core is simply not suitable for being harvested like chives every month.
It's more like cultivating a sandalwood tree, investing a lot of energy and nutrients.
High costs mean high prices when selling to target users, which is essential to breaking even.
Shisui doesn't have the time to nurture the Planetary Core.
It would be better to traverse through space a few more times and see if we can find new prey.
Moreover, Shisui's next plan is to break through the Spatial Barriers of this universe and go to the next hunting ground.
Since this was the first time doing this, it was unclear how intense the Spatial Energy fluctuations would be when breaking through the barrier.
Furthermore, once they reach the next location, it's uncertain whether any unexpected events will occur, or if they will be unable to find prey in a short period of time.
Therefore, Shisui plans to accumulate more Energy Crystals in preparation for unforeseen circumstances.
Even if it's impossible to absorb all the energy from the Planetary Core.
You can also cut it apart, purify and compress it, and then store it.
In conclusion, killing the Planetary Core is the best option for Shisui Sui now.
The moment of Shisui's silent contemplation seemed to offer the planet a glimmer of hope.
The Planetary Core pulsed, and it continued.
"The energy within the core is enormous; you might not be able to absorb it all in a short time."
That's true; the energy at Planetary Core, including the energy that powers its rotation and revolution, is naturally enormous.
"How about we cut off a portion for absorption first?"
His suggestion had a slightly seductive quality.
Shisui raised his eyes, his gaze fixed on the Psychic Energy trajectory of the enormous heart with a half-smile.
Energy is slowly gathering, as if it's about to launch a sneak attack.
But before He could act, Shisui made the first move.
The surrounding Spatial Barriers suddenly compressed inward, crushing towards the only source of light in this darkness.
Shisui mobilized more Radiant Feathers to weave through the Spatial Barrier, gradually eroding the energy on the outer layer of the Planetary Will.
The energy that is cut off will be captured by Radiant Feathers, taken away from here, and processed in Alternate Space.
The Planetary Core trembled violently, frantically blasting energy against the surrounding Spatial Barriers.
He felt no pain.
But He was now experiencing a slow, agonizing death, his energy gradually dissipating and him growing weaker by the minute.
The concept of one's impending death becomes tangible at this moment.
This feeling is not pleasant.
He began to struggle recklessly, causing some of the Radiant Feathers on the inner side of the barrier to be shattered.
But Shisui was still replenishing the Radiant Feathers continuously; as soon as one piece shattered, dozens more pieces of Radiant Feathers would fill the gap.
It seems endless.
He could only be gradually dismembered into small pieces, roughly equivalent to the energy of Heaven Realm Awakened, in the darkness deep within the earth's core.
As the core loses more and more energy, the planet's self-awareness is slowly fading.
It took Him nearly 100,000 years to evolve the ability to think, only to have it taken away by someone in a mere few dozen seconds.
The bluish-gold light deep within the earth gradually faded until it went out.
