While Ariel Lin was still on the flying boat gazing at the vast and beautiful scenery outside, Xiao Chen had already arrived at the edge of the sun.
With the protection of the Thousand Heavenly Spirit Jade, the sun could not cause Xiao Chen much harm, and his Golden Core cultivation was enough to allow him to travel in space for a short time.
"It looks similar to the sun as before, but it's much smaller."
Xiao Chen looked at the sun in front of him in the void, then stretched out his hand and gently touched the sun's flames.
A moment later, Xiao Chen made an even more shocking decision. Without hesitation, he rushed into the sun. The scorching heat had no effect on him under the protection of the Thousand Heavenly Spirit Jade.
Soon Xiao Chen arrived inside the sun and finally witnessed its secrets.
"What...what is this?"
Xiao Chen looked at the huge sphere floating inside the sun and couldn't help but reach out and touch it. It had a metallic texture, but this kind of metal was never seen on Earth before. Instead, it was a material from the cultivation world.
"This is... a Star-Gathering Stone!"
After carefully recalling the matter in his mind, Xiao Chen finally recognized the material in front of him as the famous Star Accumulation Stone.
The so-called Star-Storing Stone is simply a material that can be used to store the power of the stars. However, the problem is that the Star-Storing Stone does not actively absorb the power of the stars. Instead, it needs to be artificially activated to store the power of the stars.
"I'm afraid this starry sky is definitely not as simple as I imagined."
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen's expression also became solemn. Anyone who could activate the Star Accumulation Stone must have power above the Void Refinement stage. Combined with the other alien worlds that attacked Earth, Xiao Chen couldn't help but wonder if there was something mysterious about Earth.
Otherwise, why would so many powerful forces target Earth?
However, Xiao Chen did not choose to act rashly against the Star Accumulation Stone. In any case, the Star Accumulation Stone would release powerful energy when absorbing the power of the starry sky, which was also one of the energy sources of the Earth.
Furthermore, the specific details of the owner of the Star-Gathering Stone are still unknown. If the Star-Gathering Stone is activated, it may attract enemies whose strength is unknown.
After figuring out the situation of the sun, Xiao Chen flew out from inside the sun.
On the other side, Ariel Lin and the others were still gazing at the starry sky with boredom. By the time they realized what was happening, Xiao Chen had already returned to the flying boat.
"So, have you figured out what's wrong with the sun?"
Ariel Lin and the others asked curiously, but Xiao Chen just shook his head.
"It's best if you don't know what's going on here, after all, even I find it a bit tricky."
Xiao Chen shook his head and did not tell them about the Star Accumulation Stone. After all, Earth had always been under the control of a mysterious force, and if the news got out, it would definitely make their Dao hearts unstable.
"Okay, then."
Although they were also curious, since Xiao Chen was unwilling to tell them, they wouldn't bother to ask.
After figuring out the secrets of the sun, Xiao Chen piloted his flying boat and quickly flew back to Earth.
With the sun's reappearance, the Earth's temperature has warmed up, and it's no longer as dark as before; at least some light can still be seen.
Soon, under Xiao Chen's leadership, Lin Yichen and the others returned to the black market.
"Brother Xiao Chen, do you really think our future will be bright?"
For some reason, after experiencing so much, Ariel Lin felt a sense of fear about the future. After all, it's not easy for anyone to remain normal after going through so much.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine. After all, I'm here to support you."
Xiao Chen shook his head, not paying much attention. Although the appearance of the Star Accumulation Stone made him feel a sense of crisis, Xiao Chen estimated that the opponent's full strength was probably only about the same as the Dao Integration stage, which was still quite different from his own foundation.
At worst, we can just flip the table and quit.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, they felt much more at ease.
However, Xiao Chen quickly remembered something and looked at Yu Xiaoxiao to the side.
"Any noteworthy news on the dark web lately?"
After all, with the internet completely paralyzed, it's extremely difficult for him to obtain any information. Only the dark web can provide more information, which is why he took Yu Xiaoxiao in.
It's not just because Yu Xiaoxiao fits his aesthetic preferences, but more so because Yu Xiaoxiao can bring him certain value.
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Yu Xiaoxiao said with a solemn expression.
"Yes, I found some significant information on the dark web. It's said that spatial rifts have appeared all over the world, and many powerful monsters have descended upon them, causing the destruction of many capital cities."
Upon hearing that there were still so many spatial rifts, Xiao Chen's expression became somewhat solemn.
Judging from the previous situation, it seems that each spatial rift represents a different world. For example, after Fengli Kingdom comes Pujie, while the spatial rift in Guangshi represents a world whose name is unknown.
Thinking about this, Xiao Chen felt a bit overwhelmed. What was so mysterious about Earth that allowed so many other worlds to spy on it?
However, destroying them one by one is unlikely at the moment, unless Xiao Chen can break through to the Nascent Soul stage in a short period of time. There is such a method, but it would cause great damage to Xiao Chen's foundation. It would be a losing proposition, so Xiao Chen would naturally not choose it.
"Let's put aside the issue of the spatial rift for now, but judging from the current situation, if you are scattered, you will be easily defeated one by one. Therefore, I suggest that you all gather together and create a nation, which may allow you to survive in the apocalypse."
Xiao Chen said earnestly, then, as if remembering something, his expression turned serious.
"And with the sun coming out again, I feel that the ice and snow will melt away soon."
Xiao Chen's words made them all think. It seemed to make sense. In addition, their relationship was already good, so it wasn't difficult for them to get together.
Without much hesitation, they chose to band together for mutual support.
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand, felt the temperature around him, and sighed.
"The temperature has already reached minus ten degrees Celsius, and it is estimated that it will soon return to above zero degrees Celsius. At that time, the whole world will probably be a vast ocean."
If such a terrifying amount of ice and snow were to melt completely, ninety percent of the world would be submerged, plunging the globe into an ocean age. As for what would happen then, Xiao Chen wasn't too worried, since he was only taking extra care of Earth out of consideration for it being his home planet.
It's no exaggeration to say that Xiao Chen might not have intervened if the Earth hadn't been on the verge of destruction.
