The Fallingstar Beast sensed along the broken rootlet and cautiously looked up to see the end of the rootlet connecting to a pale golden main root with a diameter of over ten meters. It stretched across the canyon like a giant dragon, casting a suffocating shadow.
There is more than one such "dragon"; dozens of similar main roots meander along the canyon, deeply penetrating the rock strata on both sides.
Some even penetrated the mountainside and embedded themselves into the other side of the cliff, forming giant suspension bridges connecting the center of the canyon.
The main root branches out into countless smaller branches, which in turn branch into even more tiny roots, layer upon layer, endlessly, eventually weaving a giant golden net that covers the entire mining area.
Those booming sounds are from the activity and growth of these roots.
They penetrate rock layers, tear through mine tunnels, and reshape the terrain. The collapse of the cave ceiling just now was merely the result of a single main root gently brushing against it.
The Fallingstar Beast slowly lowered its head and looked at the crushed root beneath its feet.
He stiffly raised his head again and looked at the dozens of dark golden "dragons" above the canyon.
It turns out that what it had just fought so hard to defeat was merely one of the tiny rootlets on the giant tree root.
It silently retracted its hoof.
He took two steps back.
Then his forelimbs went limp, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Elder brother, please accept my bow!
"Born to be suppressed by the Erdtree ----"
Seeing the rock "beast" trembling on the ground, Mu En couldn't help but find it amusing.
He suddenly remembered something.
The Erdtree, or rather the Elden Ring, is the creator, the "server" that sustains the entire Lands Between.
Everything in the Lands Between is born from the Elden Ring; even the Golden Order is nothing more than a "process" that operates based on the Elden Ring.
The interstellar aliens, also born from the Lands Between starry sky.
Beyond those fingers that directly act as signal receivers, the Elden Ring is above all laws, including gravity.
Of course, a high position doesn't mean the other party will immediately bow down; look how happily this guy beat him up just now.
But Mu En has a way of making it obey.
Golden People can learn Gravity Sorcery, then why can't the Astral Beings receive the blessing of gold?
"Very good."
Mu En's voice gradually shifted from playful to authoritative. "I will bestow upon you the Blessed Dew; from now on, obey my commands, and I will certainly not mistreat you."
As soon as the words were spoken, golden droplets precipitated from the end of a main root above and slowly drifted down.
The Fallingstar Beast trembled all over.
The moment it saw the golden dewdrop, its bloodline alarm sounded again, sharper than ever before.
Its intuition told it not to accept that seemingly tempting golden energy, or it would be completely dominated by that golden creature!
It leaped up suddenly, trying to avoid the Blessed Dew.
But in the next instant, the golden main root drooped down from above and gently patted it.
Bang!
The Fallingstar Beast was easily pressed back to the ground by the main root, which was as thick as a locomotive, and it could not break free from the suppression no matter how hard it struggled.
It opened and closed its enormous size helplessly, watching the dewdrops fall, only able to let out a desperate growl, "No!"
Don't come any closer!
If that stuff is injected, your body will start to act strangely!
Don't come any closer!
The protest was ineffective; the golden dewdrops instantly seeped into the black carapace.
A dazzling purple-gold light shot into the sky as the two forces collided and merged within the rock behemoth's body.
The order of the Golden Order and the chaos of the alien species in the starry sky began to merge under Mu En's will.
The changes were rapidly manifesting on it; the color of its carapace changed from pure black to dark gold, its white mane was gilded with gold patterns, and a massive aura burst forth from its body.
The purple-gold lightning snakes danced wildly inside the cave, causing countless pebbles to float up and swirl in the turbulent currents created by gravity.
The light gradually dimmed, and the blessing was complete.
After being released by the roots, the Fallingstar Beast lay there, bewildered.
It has become stronger.
Their physique, strength, and energy reserves have all been significantly enhanced.
If it were to encounter a juvenile form similar to itself now, it felt it could easily take down ten of them.
This is the enhancement brought by the Golden Blessing. Perhaps it doesn't possess terrifying power in a particular aspect like other laws, but when the bucket is big enough, it's no longer just a bucket, but "omnipotent."
but----
The Fallingstar Beast felt a sense of emptiness and bewilderment, realizing that it had lost something very important.
That thing is called freedom.
The Golden Rune flowed within its body, inseparable from it, intimately connected.
But every wisp of golden energy bears the mark and aura of the golden being.
Its tail drooped listlessly, as if it had no will to live.
Mu En, however, was quite satisfied with the experimental results.
He couldn't accurately judge how strong this Fallingstar Beast was now; the presence of both the Golden Order and Gravity Sorcery within it interfered with his judgment.
However, judging from its previous combat performance, after receiving this blessing, it should at least be comparable to a " Knight Level " being.
It's not impossible that it could learn the Golden Incantations in the future, or continue to molt and evolve, and become the first "demigod" in the world.
"What a pleasant surprise!"
With this formidable enforcer in hand, many plans may come in handy.
"By the way, Niuniu," Mu En remembered the important matter and asked the Fallingstar Beast, "Do you remember how you got here? Do you know about the war seven hundred years ago?"
You're the Niuniu, your whole family are Niuniu!
But it only dared to think these words in its heart, and on the surface it just obediently shook its head.
It woke up underground and spent its days eating and sleeping, never having heard of any war. Its memories of its kind were innate and etched into its mind.
Mu En:----
Well, hoping that this stone head can remember things from hundreds of years ago is less reliable than hoping that the fireplace in Sheeta's house contains the technology to refine Volucite.
"Alright, you can continue absorbing energy here. I'll call you whenever I need it."
Mu En's consciousness departed.
The Fallingstar Beast breathed a sigh of relief, its body relaxing.
As a non-human being, it is far more sensitive to this kind of spying.
It rested its large jaws on its front hooves, and if it had tear glands, it would probably be in tears by now.
I got beaten up, my food was stolen, I got beaten up again, and then I was forced to sign a contract of servitude. What kind of situation is this?!
However, it's not all bad.
It felt the surging energy flowing within its body.
The evolutionary process has been greatly accelerated; without the help of Volucite crystals, the next stage, which would have taken decades to reach, is now within reach.
Moreover, by borrowing the golden creature's energy, the evolution might be more perfect and powerful.
right.
This is not a compromise.
It is about enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens, about persevering and biding one's time, all for the sake of revitalizing the nation!
Once it grows to a mature form like its ancient ancestors and becomes a " Astel," it may well have a chance to break free from these constraints!
Things change every thirty years, from east to west.
Don't underestimate the Niuniu —no, don't underestimate the poor star beast!
The surge of fighting spirit lasted only a moment; as my emotions calmed down, a sense of emptiness washed over me.
Growth requires energy, lots of energy.
It raised its head, its giant jaws opening and closing, continuing to extract the energy of the Volucite from the vein.
Since things have come to this, let's eat first.
