Struck by Su Mingyue's unintentional remark, Lin Zhen felt as if he had been enlightened.

Hearing Su Mingyue's unintentional words, Lin Zhen felt as if he had been enlightened.

Yes! Who says the World Stone can only be a single stone?

Can't it just be a grain of sand?

If it's sand, then it's indeed the best camouflage. Finding a single grain of sand that stands out from the rest of the desert within a radius of hundreds of miles is a very difficult task.

But Lin Zhen had a solution.

Because he has the Dark Star World!

The World Stone is the real world, Dark Star World is also the real world. This is not Dimensional Universe or a parallel universe. These two real worlds cannot coexist!

Lin Zhen shifted her feet back and forth, spinning in place while muttering to herself.

"I've got it! If I collect all the sand in the desert into the Dark Star World, there will inevitably be one grain left that I can't collect. That grain will be the World Stone!"

Su Mingyue's eyes followed Lin Zhen around twice before she finally couldn't help but ask, "Lin Zhen, are you alright?"

Lin Zhen looked at his beautiful girlfriend and pulled her into a hug. "Thank you, Yue'er, you are truly my angel."

"What did I say? Why are you thanking me like this? Uh..."

The next moment, Su Mingyue's small mouth was blocked by Lin Zhen, whose hot tongue came out and made her lose all strength.

A passionate kiss lasted for ten minutes, until the beauty in his arms had no strength left to resist, and only then did Lin Zhen let go.

"Do you want me to rub it for you? It shouldn't hurt anymore, right?"

Su Mingyue weakly pushed away Lin Zhen's large hand, "No, someone will see us."

"Alright, next time we'll find a place where no one can see us."

Lin Zhen smiled, thought for a moment, and said, "Yue'er, let's get married. The three of us—you, me, and An Ning— it's a little unfair to you all, but I really can't let go of any of you."

Don't say sorry.

Su Mingyue pressed her finger to Lin Zhen's lips. "My hope is to always be by your side, because I know you are destined for greatness. Compared to the decades that ordinary couples spend together, I can be with you forever. What more could I ask for?"

Lin Zhen nodded, deciding in his heart that as soon as things stabilized, he would immediately Xuan Ze get married.

An Ning and Su Mingyue, two outstanding women, are willing to marry him, so he should give them a future too.

********

All personnel have been evacuated from the Fourth Layer the Ancient God City.

Lin Zhen sat alone in the air, and after adjusting his breathing, he felt that he had reached his optimal state.

"To find the World Stone, we must absorb all the sand here. Let's begin now."

Lin Zhen took a deep breath, opened his hand, and released a gravitational Gravity.

The Dark Star Gravity in the Proterozoic Eon was extremely strong. When Lin Zhen raised his hand, it was as if a Dragon Tornado had descended from the sky!

Like a whale sucking in water, the yellow sand formed a sand column that rose into the sky!

"Wind!"

With a thought, a fierce Gale appeared along with Gravity, and the Fourth Layer of the Ancient God City was instantly filled with smoke and dust, and yellow sand flew everywhere. A sandstorm had occurred!

A massive amount of sand was absorbed by Gravity and entered Lin Zhen's Dark Star World.

In order to absorb this yellow sand, Lin Zhen specially reserved a piece of land within Dark Star as a desert for the Dark Star World.

Starting from a corner, Lin Zhen began a long process of absorption.

Under the combined effects of Gale and Gravity, the sand layer gradually thins.

A few minutes later, the sand in an area several tens of meters in length and width was completely absorbed, revealing the metal surface of the Red Rose spaceship.

Looking out, Lin Zhen saw endless yellow sand; there was still a long way to go in this project.

"I need to intensify my efforts; we can't linger here too long."

Lin Zhen raised another hand, and a second Gravity was released.

Two pillars of yellow sand intertwined in the air, like two giant yellow dragons soaring upwards. At Lin Zhen's palm, Space Crack appeared, and the yellow sand entered the Dark Star directly upon reaching this point.

Using both hands simultaneously, the speed was even faster. Lin Zhen was like an aircraft, slowly flying over the desert, and the yellow sand quickly diminished wherever he passed.

From dawn to dusk, from dusk to night, it's a new day again.

In just one day, thanks to Lin Zhen's hard work, one-tenth of the desert was absorbed!

After taking a short break, Lin Zhen began her second day of work.

"At this rate, I'm sure I'll find the World Stone hidden in the desert within ten days!"

********

The events on Earth only generated some buzz in the Tianhe Empire, but after a few days, the discussion gradually subsided.

The people of the Empire have such rich leisure lives. Countless major events happen every day in the vast Milky Way Galaxy. To put it bluntly, what happened on Earth was nothing more than a coup in a barren wasteland, which was not worth people's continued attention.

Those planets belonging to Lin Zhen's territory were happy to have some peace and quiet since their lord didn't come to them through the Dimensional Universe to demand taxes.

A lord who cannot even reach the boundaries of his own territory is not worthy of respect.

The only people still paying attention to Lin Zhen now are the Anderson Family.

"Sir, we have investigated most of the people involved, and none of them have anything to do with the disappearance of the Light-Speed Spaceship."

"Are you sure you've checked everything?"

"We've investigated everything. Actually, this matter is very easy to investigate. Most of the people who knew about it have already died on Earth. When the Young Master went to Earth, the mission was not announced within the family. Even the family members didn't know where he went. If he hadn't had an accident on Earth, we wouldn't know where he went either."

"Where's Lin Zhen? Has anyone investigated him?" Old Anderson, somewhat troubled.

"We don't think Lin Zhen is a strong suspect. The location where the spaceship disappeared is too far from Earth, and he himself has been on Earth the whole time. So we haven't..."

"We can't let any clue slip by. It doesn't matter if my son dies, but the Light-Speed Spaceship absolutely cannot be lost. You can check Lin Zhen's purchase records in the Dimensional Universe to see if he has ever bought Entrapment Net, and also check if his pirates were all left on Earth when the spaceship wrecked."

"Yes, sir, we overlooked something. We'll investigate right away."

After the servant left, Old Anderson slowly closed his eyes.

"Lin Zhen, whatever you do, don't let me find out it's you, or I have a million ways to make you disappear completely!"

********

"Just one last stretch of desert, and it'll be finished today!"

Looking at the desert that was now just a corner, Lin Zhen felt a surge of excitement.

Whether it was bad luck or the World Stone could automatically evade detection, nine days of continuous work had failed to find it, but as long as it was on the Fourth Layer, it wouldn't be able to escape today.

With her arms swinging, Gravity reappeared. Nine consecutive days of hard work had made Lin Zhen very familiar with this process.

Gradually, the yellow sand is disappearing, and the desert is shrinking.

By dusk, the desert had shrunk to only a few meters in diameter.

"There's only a little sand left, I need to slow down."

Lin Zhen used only one hand to exert Gravity, absorbing the yellow sand little by little.

One square meter.

Fifty square centimeters.

Thirty square centimeters.

Ten square centimeters.

One square centimeter.

At this point, Lin Zhen descended from the sky. Instead of using Gravity again, he took out a metal box and filled it with the last dozen or so grains of sand.

Gently pick up a grain, scan it with your Mental Power, and then collect the sand.

"This one isn't it; there are fifteen more."

"This one isn't it either; there are five more."

When they got to two grains, Lin Zhen felt that one of the grains of sand was a bit difficult to squeeze.

He simply used his Mental Power to pick up the other one and examine it, confirming that it wasn't the same one.

At this point, only this last grain of yellow sand remained in the entire desert.

This grain of sand looked no different from any other grain of sand; it was ordinary. But in Lin Zhen's eyes, it was an unparalleled treasure!

In this interstellar world, wealth often equals power, enabling one to do countless things.

His Mental Power slowly permeated the box, enveloping it along with the yellow sand. Finally, still somewhat uneasy, he transformed the Light Fiend into a protective shield.

Once he was absolutely certain that everything was in order, Lin Zhen reached out again, ready to pick up the grain of sand!

"Whoosh!"

This ordinary grain of sand actually wanted to break through the air and leave!

"Where do you think you're going!"

With a thought, Lin Zhen unleashed his Azure Sky-color Mental Power, firmly locking onto it!

The metal box was shattered instantly. Lin Zhen could feel the powerful force, the power of a small world!

The Light Fiend was almost cracked by the impact of the sand. Just as the sand was about to break free, Lin Zhen had a thought.

Folded Space!

The two spatial forces intersected, and Lin Zhen immediately entered Different Dimension Space!

The World Stone, which had been charging recklessly, finally lost its power to crash at this moment.

No matter how powerful it is, it cannot break through the spatial barrier and return to the world of the Ancient God City.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Zhen unleashed his powerful Mental Power to completely expel the World Stone's resistance.

The so-called resistance force is just a protective layer on the outside of the World Stone, a faint glow, which may have been left behind by the original owner.

No matter how powerful its original owner was, it was already dead and could not compare to Lin Zhen.

The Azure Sky-color Mental Power was indeed Unstoppable. After three repetitions, the radiance completely disappeared, and the World Stone fell silent.

Lin Zhen held her breath, slowly reached out, and pinched the grain of sand.

The Folded Space disappeared, and he returned to the Ancient God City.

Lin Zhen slowly infused his Mental Power into the World Stone for a long time, and he was even a little worried that if he had used so much effort, the World Stone would be ruined if there was only some trash inside.

As Lin Zhen channeled his Mental Power, a small mountain appeared before him.

It's not a real mountain; all you see are colorful things, and money everywhere!

Currencies from various advanced Cosmic Nation —they're all money!

Lin Zhen could feel her eyes glowing, and they were definitely glowing green.

Even the most composed person would be moved by this scene; it is simply the most beautiful sight on earth!

We've struck it rich!

This time I've really struck it rich!
