Transplanting the Star Fruit Tree
If there were enough Star Crystal on the Star Fruit Tree, Lin Zhen could even improve his Star Crystal level using them, without having to spend a huge amount of money to buy metal.
However, there weren't that many Star Crystal on the fruit trees; at least compared to when he participated in the God General Training Camp, there were far fewer Star Crystal here.
In particular, the number of Star Crystal is even smaller. Lin Zhen stayed here for a whole week, exploring all the places he had visited, including the Beehive, Ant Nest, and the Sky Dome, but he still didn't see many Star Crystal.
However, there was still a pleasant surprise: the number of Planet Crystal here was quite large, enough for Lin Zhen to cultivate all the way to the Level Nine Peak of planetary cultivation.
This is great news for Lin Zhen. Otherwise, the metal needed to upgrade a planet from level eight to level nine would require hundreds of billions of Cosmic Crystal, and upgrading from level nine to the Star Stage would also require a huge amount of money. The Planet Crystal here can save Lin Zhen hundreds of billions of Cosmic Crystal!

"It seems I'll have to keep this tree to myself this time. It's destined not to be open to the public."
Lin Zhen stood under the fruit tree and spoke to Chen Fenglie beside him.
Chen Fenglie has been here for several days in a row, and his cultivation level has reached the peak of the Satellite Stage. He is about to advance to the Planet Stage, which is considered a great advantage.
Hearing Lin Zhen's decision, he nodded and said, "Lin Zhen, you don't need to feel guilty. As a lord, what's the point of being a lord if you can't provide good treatment for yourself and your family?"
"Haha~! You're right, I've done more than enough for my people. A lord should have some privileges."
Chen Fenglie smiled, but then said with some doubt, "But the Star Fruit Tree is right here. I reckon that sooner or later someone will come to explore this place. Lin Zhen, I'm afraid this secret won't last long."
"That's true. Should I send people to guard this place? That would be like trying to hide something obvious." Lin Zhen also thought of this problem.
"It would be great if we could move this fruit tree," Chen Fenglie said.
What was said without intention was taken seriously by Lin Zhen. It was as if she had caught something, which flashed through her mind.
Lin Zhen stood there blankly for a long time without moving until Chen Fenglie called him repeatedly before he came back to his senses.
"What did you just say, Old Chen?" Lin Zhen asked.
What did I say?
"What was your last sentence?"
Chen Fenglie thought for a moment and said, "Lin Zhen, what are you thinking?"
"No, no, the sentence before that."
"I said, 'I wish we could move this fruit tree away.'"
Lin Zhen's eyes lit up immediately. "Yes, yes, that's it! If the Star Fruit Tree can be moved, it will solve a lot of problems."
Leaving the Star Fruit Tree on Earth does present many problems. Not only will it attract the covetous eyes of others, but it will also absorb nutrients from the Earth.
Planets also have life. One day, Earth was drained dry by the Star Fruit Tree, and it died, becoming a desert planet.
Therefore, the problem with the Star Fruit Tree must be solved, either by moving it away or by cutting it down.
Chen Fenglie, of course, knew this too, and was immediately taken aback. "Lin Zhen, you don't mean to cut down the Star Fruit Tree, do you?"
"Why cut it down? I want to move it to a different place. Maybe in a different environment, it can produce more Star Crystal, and I won't have to worry about others eyeing it."
"No, no, no~!"
Chen Fenglie hurriedly said to Lin Zhen, "Lin Zhen, if your idea is to move the Star Fruit Tree to the vicinity of Ice City Base City, then forget it. Putting aside the question of how to move it, as long as it is still on Earth, the result will be the same. Do you think you can move it to another planet? As far as I know, there are no suitable planets in the Solar System."
Lin Zhen smiled at Chen Fenglie, "Old Chen, don't worry, I will definitely not let it stay on Earth. As for which planet it went to, let me keep that a secret for now."
Lin Zhen already had a plan: if the Star Fruit Tree were to be moved, the only place would be his Dark Star Space.
Dark Star is a giant planet, dozens of times larger than Earth, more than enough to hold Star Fruit Tree. Moreover, Dark Star is constantly evolving, so there's no need to worry about it absorbing light nutrients.
However, this is a problem that cannot be discussed with others, not even Chen Fenglie.
Seeing that Lin Zhen didn't say anything, Chen Fenglie didn't ask any more questions. As a martial artist, he knew that he shouldn't ask questions he shouldn't ask. In short, Lin Zhen wouldn't treat him unfairly.
"Do you need my help here?"
"No need, Old Chen can leave first."
Chen Fenglie nodded and left in a small aircraft.
Once Chen Fenglie left, there was no one else around the Star Fruit Tree. After all, there were ferocious insects inhabiting the area, and no one dared to approach.
"Chris, can you calculate the extent of this fruit tree's root system and its weight when it was pulled out?"
Chris immediately calculated quickly and gave Lin Zhen the answer after a while.
"Master, the Star Fruit Tree's root system has a diameter of about one hundred kilometers. If we try to pull it out by force, it will definitely trigger a tsunami and Continental Plate movement on Earth, which would be a man-made disaster."
"Oh! It's that serious." Lin Zhen frowned slightly.
"Yes, so my suggestion is to first separate the soil layer around the roots of the Star Fruit Tree from the outer soil layer. This will make things much better."
"Shall we cut underground?"
"Yes, Tianhe Star has robots that can do this kind of work. You only need to buy a few dozen, and they will be able to finish the job within a day."
Under Chris's guidance, Lin Zhen purchased dozens of robots.
These robots went underground and separated the soil beneath the Star Fruit Tree from the surrounding soil.
The enormous tree trunk, with a diameter exceeding 100 kilometers, carries an unimaginable weight of soil. If this tree were moved, an enormous sinkhole would appear here.
"Moving this fruit tree to Dark Star Space is a real problem. I probably can't carry it by myself. Chris, come up with a plan for me."
Chris knew everything about Lin Zhen Lin Zhen quickly offered her a solution.
"If you want to move the Star Fruit Tree without damaging it, you first need to pull it out. You can do this with your Eternal Crystal Spaceship. Then you need to use Dark Star Power to create Black Hole Storm that will absorb both the spaceship and the fruit tree. Of course, you should Xuan Ze an open location."
"Okay, I'll tie the fruit trees up first."
Lin Zhen's clone appeared and piloted the Eternal Crystal Spaceship to the sky above the Star Fruit Tree.
The spaceship itself had ropes, and huge ropes were thrown down.
Lin Zhen took off and grabbed one end of the rope. He flapped his Lightning Wings and began to fly in circles around the Star Fruit Tree.
Five consecutive loops were made, binding the trunk from the base to the top of the tree, securing several key nodes.
"Try pulling it."
The Eternal Crystal Spaceship started up, emitting a buzzing sound, and slowly lifted the Star Fruit Tree out of the ground.
"Crack!!!"
The rope broke on the spot as soon as the fruit tree rose even slightly above the ground, unable to withstand the pulling force.
"Master, I overlooked one thing: the rope's strength is insufficient."
"What can we do then? Are there any other ropes we can use to pull the Star Fruit Tree?"
"I'm sorry, Master, the Tianhe Empire and the Sanjiang Star Region Federation don't have them. The Fire Kirin Empire might have them, but the journey is too far. The fruit trees have already been dug up, and we must move them as soon as possible; there's not enough time."
Lin Zhen took a deep breath. Where could there be such a huge rope?
"Ah~! The Moyun Vine!"
Suddenly realizing this, Lin Zhen immediately jumped onto the Eternal Crystal Spaceship and headed straight for the Bermuda Sea Area.
The Moyun Vine is deeply rooted in the seabed, and ordinary people do not have the ability to dive into the deep sea to retrieve it. However, Lin Zhen can. He got off the spaceship, leaving a trail of water, and dived down to the seabed at a depth of 12,000 meters in one go.
The vine was a hundred meters thick, too thick for Lin Zhen to wrap his arms around. However, he had a solution. He took out the Light Fiend, and his main body and clone each held one end, wrapping the Moyun Vine around the whole thing.
"Get up!!"
Lin Zhen roared, and his main body and clone exerted their power simultaneously!
Now, Lin Zhen's strength is comparable to that of Black Hole Peak. With the combined force of the two, the alien species rooted in the seabed finally couldn't withstand it and was pulled out by Lin Zhen!
The two of them lifted the Moyun Vine upwards and hung on the Eternal Crystal Spaceship.
The spaceship seemed to be carrying a giant snake as it returned to the Star Fruit Tree from the Bermuda Sea Area.
This time, Lin Zhen form, along with the Moyun Vine, began to fly around the Star Fruit Tree. The Moyun Vine was long enough that it actually wrapped around the Star Fruit Tree three times.
The Light Fiend acts as a tether, binding the Moyun Vine and the spaceship to prevent the vine from falling.
After three complete entanglements, the clone activated atop the Eternal Crystal Spaceship.
Rumble!...
With the immense power of the Eternal Crystal Spaceship activated, the Light Fiend pulled the Moyun Vine straight instantly. After a brief stalemate, the Star Fruit Tree was finally pulled up!
The Eternal Crystal Spaceship ascended straight into the sky, and this behemoth with a diameter of 100 kilometers also rose into the air, completely leaving the ground and forming a huge, bottomless crater!
Lin Zhen, on the other hand, Teleport almost to the outside of the atmosphere, looking down at this place from space.
Lin Zhen took a deep breath when the spaceship carrying the Star Fruit Tree came into view.
The Dark Star Power erupts, Black Hole Storm!
Black Hole Storm are divided into two types: destruction and absorption. Destruction involves strangulation, while absorption simply involves transferring the black hole into the Dark Star Space.
Back when he was inside the World Stone, Lin Zhen used this move to devour a large number of Cosmic Crystal.
The surrounding space collapsed instantly, and the Black Hole spread rapidly forward from Lin Zhen, growing larger and larger as it went further, engulfing the spaceship and the Star Fruit Tree.
"Receive!"
The Black Hole appeared and disappeared, and there was no air left in this space; it was all absorbed into the Dark Star Space by Lin Zhen.
