Mission: Recover the Star of Eden! / When You Come Back, We'll Get Married...

"The Ninth Divine Key?"

Ling Xi was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked, "Where?"

The Ninth Divine Key, Star Sea Harmony, or the Star of Eden, has been missing ever since it was used to destroy Chiyou. As Little Klein mentioned before, it seems to have drifted into another dimension.

"East China Sea!"

Little Klein unfolded the map and said, "According to the detection of the Fourth Divine Key, the radiation signal of Star of Eden has been increasing since yesterday. At first, I thought it was just a signal anomaly, so I didn't notify you. But I have just confirmed that it is indeed the signal feedback from Star of Eden, so I found you immediately."

"I see..."

Ling Xi nodded thoughtfully, and asked while eating chicken kidneys, "So, Little Klein, you came to me to ask me to retrieve Star of Eden?"

Ling Xi had already decided to temporarily give up on Star of Eden and planned to search for it again after the Doctor and the others woke up, but then Little Klein suddenly told her that Star of Eden had appeared.

Since it has appeared, I naturally have to take it back. After all, even if we don't mention that Star of Eden is related to the future plot, just the destructive power of Star of Eden alone makes it impossible for me to leave it outside. What if someone activates the zeroth power on the continent?

Therefore, now that the Star of Eden has appeared, Ling Xi naturally intends to retrieve it.

"Ugh..."

Little Klein seemed to pause for a moment before saying, "If things were that simple, I wouldn't need to say so much; I could just let you take it back. But..."

Ling Xi was speechless. For some reason, upon hearing the "but," Ling Xi immediately had a bad feeling...

"Based on current observations, Star of Eden should be in an active state. Calculations show that Star of Eden has a mass of about one-tenth that of Earth, but this mass has been compressed into a single point."

As he spoke Little Klein sent Ling Xi a set of data, and finally said, "So, to put it another way, there is a Black Hole with a mass of about one-tenth that of Earth in the East China Sea right now, breaking through from another dimension and about to arrive at our world!"

Ling Xi: "???"

Chapter 592: Mission: Reclaim Star of Eden!

Black Hole?

Upon hearing this name, Ling Xi was immediately dumbfounded. After all, although this thing was very mysterious, its destructive power was absolutely undeniable.

"No way? Black Hole can form with only one-tenth the mass of Earth?"

Although Ling Xi was somewhat frightened, she quickly calmed down. First of all, the existence of this Black Hole was unreasonable. After all, it was absolutely impossible for such a small amount of mass to form Black Hole, because its own gravity could not compress matter to that extent!

"It certainly wouldn't be possible under natural conditions, but these aren't natural conditions?"

Little Klein sent Ling Xi another set of data, saying, "According to my speculation, 4200 years ago, after you used the Star of Eden to destroy Ling Xi Chiyou, the Star of Eden distorted space due to its extremely strong gravity and fell into a certain space!"

"And the other space is not empty either, but a space with one-tenth the mass of Earth. However, Star of Eden has not been shut down, but has been in an active state. So Star of Eden began to devour that space, bit by bit, until now, it has completely devoured the mass of that space. Therefore, that space has become extremely unstable and will eventually disappear completely!"

"And once that space completely disappears, the Star of Eden will fall back into the space I'm in, which is Earth, and..."

Finally, Little Klein. added, "If Star of Eden isn't shut down, it will obviously keep swallowing things up: Earth, the Moon, Venus, the Crystal, the Sun, and eventually... forming a real Black Hole!"

Ling Xi "..."

After hearing Klein's explanation, Ling Xi felt completely dumbfounded. What a rip-off!

However, Ling Xi finally understood what Little Klein meant: this Black Hole was not the same as that Black Hole. The Black Hole on Star of Eden was not Black Hole in the traditional sense, nor was it a man-made Black Hole from science fiction. It was simply a wormhole formed by Star of Eden.

However, this wormhole is also devouring mass, which is why it is described as Black Hole.

"So... Little Klein, you're planning to send me to confront that Black Hole head-on?"

Although Ling Xi knew very well that in the end she would have to solve this problem herself, she couldn't just ignore it. If she didn't stop the wormhole from continuing to devour everything, the entire Earth would be slowly swallowed up, and humanity would be wiped out!

"Yes."

Little Klein also made no attempt to hide his thoughts, saying, "This matter can only be handled by Ling Xi, otherwise, at this rate of absorption, the Far East and the eastern part of Shenzhou will be completely gone in about a day."

Ling Xi "..."

To be honest, Ling Xi wanted to refuse, because after she died last time, she was resurrected for over four thousand years. Fortunately, the timeline at that time was relatively early, giving her enough time to recover. But if this time...

What if I accidentally die again and then have to be resurrected for over four thousand years?

It's almost 1500 AD now. If you're talking about being resurrected 4,000 years ago, that would be 5,500 AD. Sirin has been born for 3,500 years!

"Ling Xi, don't worry."

Seemingly sensing Ling Xi's concerns, Little Klein explained, "According to the formula, Star of Eden is currently only operating at normal power, plus one-tenth the mass of Earth. Therefore, its internal gravity is not particularly strong, given Ling Xi's physique..."

Little Klein finally said, "Hmm... it should be able to withstand at least five minutes of core pressure, so as long as Ling Xi can retrieve Star of Eden within five minutes, you will be in no danger!"

"Five minutes...?"

Ling Xi thought for a moment. Five minutes should be enough time. After all, it was just to retrieve Star of Eden. With his strength, five minutes should be enough!

After all, this five-minute period is calculated from the moment one begins to bear the core pressure, which is equivalent to the moment one directly comes into contact with the Star of Eden. If the calculation is started from the outside, then this time will only be longer!

"Shall we set off now?"

After a moment's thought, Ling Xi made a decision: Star of Eden... must be retrieved!

"No, Star of Eden has not yet fully returned to our space."

Little Klein shook his head and added, "According to calculations, Star of Eden will return to our space completely in about thirty hours, at which point Earth will be gradually swallowed up starting from the East China Sea."

"So, we still have thirty hours to prepare?"

Ling Xi asked a question.

"Yes!"

Klein nodded again and said, "Ling Xi, you can rest first to conserve your strength and Honkai Energy."

"Okay, I understand. Contact me when the time comes."

Ling Xi nodded and did not refuse.

"Okay, let's talk later..."

After saying that, Little Klein. immediately shut down the communication.

"Why..."

After the call ended, Ling Xi sighed helplessly. She thought she could finally get a good rest tonight now that she was home, but...

Ling Xi strongly suspects that Little Klein did it on purpose. Why did it have to be today of all days? You could have done it any day earlier or later!

"Master, is it dangerous?"

Li Sushang looked at Ling Xi with some worry. After all, the conversation had been public, so she and Fu Hua had both heard it, but...

Li Sushang didn't know much about Black Hole, but she knew they were very dangerous.

"No, it's not dangerous, it's just a bit troublesome..."

Ling Xi sighed helplessly and said with a wry smile, "After all, we are more than 4,000 kilometers away from the East China Sea, and the time is only 30 hours. Considering the time it takes for me to recover my strength, I may have to set off very early tomorrow morning. As for retrieving Star of Eden..."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "For me, this is probably the simplest step."

"Oh, I see..."

Seeing that Ling Xi said there was no danger, Li Sushang was completely relieved. As for whether she was tired or not... that was none of her business. Anyway, that was her master's business, so she would just wait at home...

This time, Li Sushang wisely refrained from suggesting that they go together, since the place was at sea and her presence would only add to Ling Xi's burden.

"Ling Xi, do you need me to come along?"

Fu Hua naturally wouldn't object to this mission, as it concerned the well-being of the entire world, and she also believed Ling Xi could accomplish it, but...

While I believe it, it's impossible to say I'm not worried at all.

"No."

Ling Xi shook his head slightly and smiled, "Fu Hua, you can't fly, and we can't leisurely hire a boat to go there, so I can only fly there directly using Electromagnetic Launch. I might not be able to take care of you then."

Ling Xi possessed the Sasha Gene, giving her body high resistance and strength. However, the Immortal was different. Although her front armor was indestructible, her physical strength was still much weaker than Ling Xi's. Ling Xi didn't want to take Fu Hua to such a dangerous place.

Even if you really die and are completely obliterated, you can still be resurrected; it just takes a little time!

But Fu Hua doesn't have that ability. If she were to disappear without a trace, then she would truly be gone.

Chapter 593: We'll get married when you come back...

"Alright then, be careful."

Seeing that Ling Xi refused her offer to accompany her, Fu Hua didn't say much, only telling Ling Xi to be careful.

"Don't worry, even if something really goes wrong, I'll be fine."

Ling Xi just smiled, feeling no pressure whatsoever. After all, he had five minutes to access Star of Eden, so he was confident he could reclaim it!

Even if I can't actually recycle it, as long as I touch Star of Eden, I can put it into the System Space and forcibly interrupt Star of Eden's power!

In short, as I just said, the most troublesome part of this mission is going to the East China Sea, while retrieving Star of Eden is actually the easiest step.

"Master."

Li Sushang continued, "Since it's not difficult, come back soon. Don't be like before, staying away for a whole week. Do you know how boring I was during that week?"

"Okay, okay."

Ling Xi waved her hand and smiled, "I'll definitely come back soon this time."

"Uh-huh..."

Li Sushang nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "That's good. After all... Master, the sooner you come back, the sooner we can discuss the wedding arrangements..."

"Marry?"

Fu Hua was quietly sipping her chicken soup when she heard Li Sushang's words and was immediately stunned. What the heck? How did the conversation turn to marriage?

"Yes."

Li Sushang smiled slightly and said, "Because my mother has officially entrusted me to my master, this place will be my home from now on. So, of course, the wedding arrangements need to be made. Besides, my master promised me that we would discuss the wedding after I returned home. What, doesn't Grandmaster know?"

Fu Hua "..."

Fu Hua didn't speak, but simply glanced at Ling Xi expressionlessly...

Good grief, have I been mistreating this guy this past week? Did you really have to discuss marriage with Li Sushang the moment you saw her again?

At this moment, Fu Hua's heart was already a little... unsettled!

At the same time, he was also thinking, if his Tai Xu Sword God were improved a little more, could he kill Ling Xi in one move?

"Cough cough, Hua, it's not like that..."

Ling Xi quickly explained, saying, "What I mean is..."

"Never mind, Hua, let's get married together then."

Ling Xi wanted to explain something, but after thinking about it, she was too lazy to explain in the end, because no amount of explanation could compare to this one sentence.

"Hmm..."

Fu Hua was clearly taken aback by Ling Xi's sudden remark and was momentarily stunned...

"Eh..."

Li Sushang seemed a little surprised, but upon closer inspection, it made perfect sense, after all...

How could I not see the relationship between Ling Xi and Fu Hua?

Therefore, Li Sushang was very well-behaved this time and did not say anything, quietly eating her dinner.

"What? Hua doesn't want to?"

Seeing that Fu Hua did not answer, Ling Xi asked again in a low voice, while also wondering, Fu Hua... shouldn't refuse?

"No... no, I..."

Fu Hua looked slightly embarrassed, scratched her head, and laughed, "I... am I really okay?"

"Hehe, of course you can."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "After all, we're already together, so what's wrong with getting married? Besides... in this era, getting married doesn't require any formalities. We can get married now, and then... if you want, we can just complete the formalities in the future, right?"

"Well... okay, I... I have no objection."

Fu Hua really wanted to laugh happily, but... she couldn't; she had to maintain her image.

"Master..."

At this moment, Li Sushang looked at Ling Xi with a wistful expression and asked, "Then... when should we get married?"
