The light energy stored by Lin Yan is transformed into life force through the new organelles. This life force can also be stored in his body, but unlike light energy, it has no upper limit. The current limit is to store 3 drops of liquid Life energy at the same time.

Lin Yan named it "Life Essence".

If this Life Essence is stored in ordinary glass or alloy containers, its energy will gradually dissipate. However, the dissipation of this Life energy can be suppressed within the crystal nucleus Wind Queen.

Lin Yan spent several days accumulating hundreds of drops of Life Essence before he began cultivating the seeds of the Sha Luo Flower *.

He slashed his arm with an SS-rank flying knife, and then... left a white mark.

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment.

After breaking through to the Planetary level, his body has become so strong that even King level monster of the same level are probably no match for him.

Lin Yan's Mental Power also wrapped around the flying knife, and then he slashed it again with force.

Blood flowed into the vessel. He deliberately controlled the energy in his body to prevent the wound from healing, but his cell activity quickly restored the wound, so he had to cut it open again.

In the vessel, there was a blood-red seed that looked like Insect Egg.

The blood was slowly absorbed by the seed, making its surface color even deeper.

The Sha Luo Flower is a peculiar creature that enjoys devouring Flesh-type and Flesh-type, and this is also a primary way for it to advance.

Plant Lifeform owners by absorbing their blood, and this is especially true for the Sha Luo Flower; this process will likely continue many times.

However, Lin Yan's physical condition doesn't care about this.

When he felt it was about time, Lin Yan put his hand down and watched as the seeds of the Sha Luo Flower in the vessel absorbed the blood, turning into something like blood jade. Then he dripped a drop of Life Essence onto the seeds.

The seed suddenly trembled, as if it were giving birth to a shimmering light in the blood jade. It stopped after about thirty drops were poured out.

"If we repeat this process ten more times, it should be about right."

Lin Yan made his judgment.

In fact, his life force doesn't need to go through so much trouble to cultivate the seeds of the Sha Luo Flower, but he is only at the Planetary level and his energy is not strong enough. If the Sha Luo Flower does not absorb enough energy, it will inevitably suffer from congenital deficiencies.

This is something Lin Yan tried his best to avoid.

Fortunately, his blood and life force are extraordinary, otherwise he would not have been able to be cultivated at all.

Two days later, Lin Yan had already cultivated the seeds of the Sha Luo Flower three times.

Good news came from Wind Queen.

"Master, I have successfully disassembled the Laser Cannon."

Lin Yan. He infused his mental power into the crystal core, and found that the inside of the crystal core was now completely different. One side was filled with various debris and materials, while the other corner was divided into a large space, which was used to build a high-tech laboratory-like building.

The instruments here are either modern high-tech instruments that have been modified Wind Queen, or they were found in the wreckage and repaired.

There were also a large number of robots working inside.

Most of these robots are made of Kro Alloy. Wind Queen is Intelligent life form that can create its own auxiliary intelligence, which is directly integrated into these robots and can act according to her wishes.

However, it is not suitable for performing very precise work.

There are other memory metal robots and so on, each with its own function, and in a short period of time, there have been tremendous changes.

This is mainly due to Wind Queen's abilities. What does it mean to have computing power that surpasses that of immortal beings? Her own abilities are a huge treasure.

In addition, Lin Yan's own authority to utilize social resources can be used to meet Wind Queen's needs during his time on Earth.

The old Laser Cannon was placed in the laboratory.

Wind Queen looked a little strange and said, "Master, this doesn't seem to be an ordinary Laser Cannon."

Lin Yan was taken aback. "What?"

"I gained some knowledge from the spaceship's central control program. This seems to be quite different from conventional Laser Cannon in terms of design and construction. Moreover, the energy of Laser Cannon should rely on Energy Crystal, the kind of purple crystals I found in the storage locker earlier, but this..."

She disassembled the bottom of the Laser Cannon and extracted strips of deep blue crystals, the color of the starry sky.

"This is Cosmic Crystal!"

Excitement shone on Wind Queen's face.

What is Cosmic Crystal?

This is a crystal formed from the Universe Origin Energy, also known as the World Power. The World Power can form any substance, and the Cosmic Coin, which is divided from the Cosmic Crystal, is also an important currency circulating throughout the universe.

It is extremely valuable.

Lin Yan was somewhat incredulous. "I just disassembled a Laser Cannon, how did I manage to disassemble the Cosmic Crystal?"

Is this even possible?

But how do you use this thing?

Lin Yan asked, "Wind Queen, do you know how to use this?"

Wind Queen immediately shook his head. "I only learned about the existence of Cosmic Coin and Cosmic Crystal through that central control program, and I know they have some value, but I don't know the specifics."

Lin Yan nodded and instructed, "Then can you continue to analyze the technology of this Laser Cannon?"

"It's very simple. I feel that the technology in this Laser Cannon is quite low-end, but the materials are very good. I don't know what the considerations were for this. However, I suggest that you give this thing to those researchers and let them study it themselves."

Wind Queen said, "They can also hone their abilities during the research process. Although these technologies are low-end, they are just right for the current situation on Earth. If they were too advanced, even if I could analyze the technology, they would not be able to manufacture the next generation of Laser Cannon due to their limited understanding and mastery of materials science."

Lin Yan thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense.

Anyway, there's no rush, so let them figure it out themselves.

"Then I'll take this thing with me. You can keep this Cosmic Crystal here and see what use it is later."

Lin Yan naturally couldn't possibly take the Cosmic Crystal out with him.

Lin Yan moved the disassembled Laser Cannon to the outside. Unfortunately, the thing was badly Damaged. Such high-end metal was damaged to such an extent that it was impossible to repair. Otherwise, it could have been used as a trump card.

As he looked at it, his Mind Palace began to subtly sense something.

"Hmm, what does this feel like?"

Lin Yan's consciousness sank into the Mind Palace, but a strange scene appeared before his eyes.

A towering ancient tree reached into the clouds, majestic as a mountain, its enormous Tree Crown blocking out the sun.

Under the tree, an old man was assembling a black metal Laser Cannon. The metal was dark and deep, clearly the shape of the old, dilapidated Laser Cannon.

A "child" was lying down next to them, watching.

They are similar in size to humans, with the elderly being about four meters tall and the children about two meters tall. They are covered in black scales, have a single horn on their foreheads, and also have a tail covered in scales.

Lin Yan didn't know why he felt that they were an old man and a child, but he just had that feeling.

They were talking about something, but their language was completely incomprehensible.

Finally, the old man took out a strip-shaped Cosmic Crystal, put it inside, and blue energy brewed within. It struck the ancient tree, but left no trace.

The "child" cheered and then took the Laser Cannon from the old man's hand. The old man smiled as he watched him play.

The screen flickered.

The "child" hit another child with the Laser Cannon, but surprisingly, not even the scales were broken. The hit child cried and went home to find his parents. The parents were furious, came over and snatched the laser cannon away. Without much force, the Laser Cannon broke.

The "child" holding the Damaged toy also cried.

The screen flickered again.

By this time, the child had grown up. He knelt on the ground, in front of a man who was three meters tall. The man had two flexible antennae on his forehead, wore a black robe that shimmered with a faint light, had long hair, and was very handsome. His narrow eyes had a somewhat feminine look.

A drop of crystal-clear liquid flew from the man's left eye. The "droplet" contained complex imprints that floated and disappeared within it, eventually touching his brow and merging into it.

Half an hour later, he woke up and bowed respectfully to the man.

The man prepared to leave.

He looked back at the ancient tree reaching for the sky, and the broken toy from his childhood reappeared in his hand. His expression softened, and he put it away before following the man onto a blood-red triangular spaceship, flying into the vast starry sky.

"This is..."

Lin Yan was a little confused.

"Is this Spiritual Imprint left on that Damaged Laser Cannon?"

He thought about it and realized that this was the only way to understand it.

"This Spiritual Imprint has almost dissipated, but it still reappears in the Soul Secret Technique [Mind Palace]."

"No wonder Wind Queen said this Laser Cannon is different from the regular Laser Cannon. It turns out it was a toy of the original owner when he was a child, rather than a weapon used for fighting."

"But the toys of Cosmic civilization far surpass our current technology."

Lin Yan thought about what he had just witnessed. The blood-red triangular spaceship should be the Yun Mo Star, and the man must be Huyan Bo.

"So the owner of this Damaged Laser Cannon is actually one of Huyan Bo's Immortal Servant?"

Lin Yan kept recalling those scenes in his mind, and a longing arose in his heart. Beyond the starry sky was an incomparably brilliant Cosmic Humans civilization.

It is a magical world beyond all imagination.

It is cruel, yet prosperous; it is bloody, yet beautiful.

It is the world I am destined to go to.

He composed himself and went outside, Jia Yi and the others happened to be at the Han Jin Pavilion.

They immediately spotted the object floating beside Lin Yan, Jia Yi exclaimed with delight, "Lin Yan, you succeeded?"

That clearly means the Damaged Laser Cannon has been completely dismantled.

Lin Yan smiled and said, "I have not failed in my mission."
