Noise from the Sea of Stars and the Colossal Giant Tree

Outside the planet's orbit, the Giant Moth released Kang Qiao, and Kang Qiao naturally floated.

At this moment, Kang Qiao's eyes were full of excitement.

This was because he could finally clearly see the visible half of the planet he lived on.

On the northern side of the planet, there was a vast expanse of land. The land was shaped like an irregular quadrilateral, surrounded by the sea, and also connected by a stretch of white Eternal Frozen Land.

The land wasn't particularly large on this half of the planet, but it was the place where land life depended on for survival.

Looking down on half the planet was good, but because the atmosphere was filled with water vapor and dust, even with Kang Qiao adjusting his extraordinary visual range, he couldn't see much. All he could see were the general outlines of the land and sea.

Overall, it looked as expected, but it offered a slight novelty to Kang Qiao.

Kang Qiao carefully examined this half of the planet, then turned his gaze to the sun directly illuminating it.

In the eternal darkness, that fireball was so large and so dazzling.

But even so, in this universe full of darkness, that sun was merely a tiny candle.

Looking up at the starry sky, apart from the slightly brighter sunlight, the surroundings were completely dark. The Sea of Stars was like an abyss, and even with Kang Qiao's current immense size, he appeared incredibly small when facing the starry sky.

Why the Giant Moth was unwilling to often come to this outer space.

It was similar to how giant beasts on land lacked a sense of security in the sky; the Giant Moth also lacked a sense of security in this outer space and felt utterly insignificant.

Of course, that wasn't all.

When Kang Qiao looked up at the pitch-black starry sky, his initial excitement only lasted for a short while.

Soon, Kang Qiao finally discovered something unusual.

Whether it was an illusion or not, noise suddenly appeared in Kang Qiao's mind.

This sound was initially very small and faint, but it quickly grew louder and clearer.

It was the sound of flutes, the sound of drums, the sound of piercing metal collisions.

Various sounds gathered together, more jarring than death metal.

Kang Qiao was utterly astonished. The universe was a vacuum; where was this strange, noisy sound coming from?

It looked at the Giant Moth, and at this moment, the Giant Moth merely blinked its innocent big eyes at Kang Qiao, indicating that this was how it was, and it knew nothing.

At this moment, Kang Qiao finally became cautious.

Perhaps this universe was not as simple as he thought!

Where was this noisy sound coming from? Was something near in the cosmic expanse?

The vacuum of the universe rarely contained substances like the dust in the atmosphere. Adjusting his vision and ignoring the darkness, Kang Qiao could observe over vast distances.

But even so, it still couldn't see anything alive in the darkness.

The only things visible were scattered meteorites and the moon in the distance, which was neither particularly far nor near.

The moon reflected the weak light of the sun. Due to its proximity, Kang Qiao could observe its surface in detail.

But it was clear that there was nothing on the moon; it was similar to the cratered surface of the moon from Kang Qiao's previous life.

The clamoring sound came from further away, as if from the center of the universe.

Kang Qiao closed his eyes slightly, listening carefully, but soon the irritating sound suddenly disappeared as if it had never appeared.

What in the world?

Kang Qiao frowned, his inner questions multiplying.

However, due to the complete lack of clues, Kang Qiao eventually had to give up thinking.

He would deal with whatever came his way. As an ignorant giant beast, Kang Qiao couldn't concern himself with things too far off.

Even if there was a threat, he could only try his best to grow now.

However, speaking of growth, the moment Kang Qiao entered the planet's outer orbit, the sun's radiation in space and various inexplicable rays actually made Kang Qiao feel very comfortable.

Yes, the comfort was even more exhilarating than soaking in lava.

Feeling the pleasure transmitted by his body's cells, Kang Qiao's mood was naturally good at all times.

Of course, that was excluding the previous noise.

Temporarily setting aside his questions about the noise and maintaining his wariness of the dark cosmic expanse, Kang Qiao's dorsal fin began to glow red, and a faint red light shot out from his mouth.

Using the thrust of the ejected flame to adjust its body, Kang Qiao quickly headed towards the orbit of the planet's other dark side.

His rear had become his head, and his head had become his rear. This bizarre method of vacuum flight stunned the Giant Moth.

Then, following Kang Qiao, the Giant Moth slightly activated its internal wind element and together they headed towards the other side of the planet.

What was on the other side of the planet? Would there be more continents?

The answer was yes, but what he saw here left Kang Qiao unsure of how to describe his current shock.

Because, on this other half of the planet, a super, super giant tree was growing!!!

Yes, when Kang Qiao saw the tip of a tree extending out to the orbit, he almost thought he was hallucinating.

However, none of this was an illusion.

Yes, a tree had genuinely grown to the point of reaching the planet's orbit. Even though its highest branches were only just approaching the outer orbit, it was still terrifyingly immense.

The Giant Moth had never really hung out in outer space before. In its entire life, it had only flown up twice before quickly retreating.

So how could it have known that on the other side of this planet, there was such a massive tree?

The moment the Giant Moth saw this tree, its eyes widened.

The tree was incredibly vast, with a grayish-brown trunk. At its apex were twelve leaves.

However, these twelve leaves alone formed a platform with an area comparable to a super-large island.

But its divine peculiarity didn't end there.

Because around this Giant Tree, there was an invisible barrier.

It formed a semicircle, completely enveloping and isolating the other half of the planet.

The Giant Moth, intending to dive down and land on the platform formed by the twelve leaves, was instead thrown back, dizzy and wailing.

Seeing this illogical scene, Kang Qiao was stunned for a long time.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

The Giant Moth, plastered against the invisible barrier created by the Giant Tree, was now desperately trying to pry its way through with its forelimbs, but the results were as expected.

Finally, the Giant Moth became enraged. From beneath its broad wings, countless dense pores opened, gathering the elements of wind.

Then, in space, an invisible storm impacted the transparent and formless barrier.

But in the end? The moment the storm touched the barrier, it was completely absorbed.

At this instant, the Giant Moth's somewhat angry expression turned to bewilderment, and finally, it looked at Kang Qiao with a wronged expression.

Seeing this, Kang Qiao found it both amusing and exasperating.

"You haven't even figured out the situation, and you're already going all out? What if this Giant Tree is alive and can move, or has other divine abilities? Aren't you just inviting massive trouble upon yourself?"

Fortunately, the plump and enormous Giant Tree still stood peacefully, showing no signs of activity.

Seeing this, Kang Qiao became even more curious.

"This Giant Tree is so massive, how does the planet I'm on maintain stable operation?"

"Wasn't it crushed? Wasn't it drained dry? Does that even make sense?"

"With a tree this size, wouldn't its roots likely be spread throughout the planet's underground?"

"But I haven't found any giant roots or anything on the half of the planet where I live."

"Besides, we all live on the same planet. How did this tree manage to avoid being discovered by other giant beasts?"

The entire tree was unbelievably clean and pristine, showing no signs of being damaged by giant beasts or any other life forms.

"And what's with the scene on both sides of the Giant Tree? One half is a world shrouded in mist, and the other is a purgatory scene with raging flames? What in the world is that?"

Kang Qiao realized his knowledge from his previous life was insufficient.

Conventional thinking and logic seemed to have little use in this world.

"Can someone tell me what the heck this world is?"
