To verify his hypothesis, Li Fan flew from the mountaintop into the starry sky.
Malice.
Li Fan sensed the subtle malice.
The starry sky remained deathly silent, but there was much more thin black mist than before.
These black mists were faint, but they made Li Fan feel uneasy.
This unsettling feeling is exactly the same as that of those eerie creatures.
Li Fan waved his hand, using Blood Drink to draw in the black mist.
Soon, the black mist surrounding him was completely swallowed up.
Just as Li Fan was about to expand the range of his blood-drinking, wisps of black mist emanated from the stars below.
Has this energy... already invaded the desolate planet?
Li Fan began to explore, following the direction of the black mist.
He was curious about what changes these strange energies could bring to the stars.
Is this energy directed only at living beings, or at everything?
......
Li Fan began searching for answers on the desolate planet.
His footprints began to appear on the yellow sandy ground.
Although there was that strange energy in the places they passed through, they did not find any signs of life.
Gradually, he began to explore deeper into the cave.
As his exploration continued, he found some mutated humans.
However, for them, this so-called distortion is only in appearance.
They did not show any obvious signs of madness and were able to maintain normal communication.
Li Fan found it amazing, since this kind of energy was not like this in his perception.
If he were to draw this energy into his body, his mind would likely become monstrous along with the distortion.
That's very strange.
Is there any correlation between distortion and actual strength?
Or perhaps it's simply because they're too weak to hear that maddening voice from the unseen realm?
With these questions in mind, Li Fan continued his journey deeper into the stars.
......
Humans are not the only race living underground; other races also exist there.
And these races miraculously did not lose their minds.
Even after transforming into countless tentacle monsters, it remains the same.
Things are getting more and more interesting.
Li Fan ventured deeper, certain that the answers he sought lay within.
......
I don't know how long I've been walking, nor do I know where I am.
There was an inexplicable white mist surrounding Li Fan.
The fog was very thin, resembling water mist but not quite.
Li Fan reached out and grabbed, and the mist condensed into milky white water droplets in his palm.
He tilted his head back and swallowed the droplet of water.
It's not water.
It contains a tiny amount of energy.
This energy can be guided into the body by drinking blood.
The water droplets eventually turned into nutrients, nourishing the tree inside Li Fan's body.
This discovery sent a jolt through Li Fan.
From the time he could remember until now, he had only discovered that the flesh and blood of living beings would become nourishment for the tree inside his body.
Now, there is another substance.
Although this substance is merely a nutrient and will not sprout new branches, and contains negligible energy, it is at least useful.
This discovery made Li Fan even more curious.
......
Using fog density as a reference, the journey to find the way became much faster.
After an unknown amount of time, the road became narrower and narrower, and the mist condensed into water droplets that hung on the sides of the wall.
Fortunately, even though the road had narrowed considerably, it was still wide enough for him to pass through.
Finally, he found the source of the fog.
It was a stone.
A stone that doesn't look like a stone.
A milky white liquid continuously seeps from its surface, pooling below to form a pond.
These liquids continuously seep outwards at a moderate pace.
Um?
Treasure?
Li Fan's eyes gradually brightened.
He is a peace-loving person.
Although he knew that flesh and blood could nourish the tree within him, he rarely took the initiative to kill.
Either you'll run into someone who doesn't know what's good for them and get killed, or you'll end up burying a corpse.
But this doesn't mean he was unaware of the importance of energy.
Energy is essential for drifting freely in the starry sky.
Now that he has found such a treasure trove, how could he not be happy?
Li Fan sat cross-legged, absorbing the energy flowing from the stone with his blood-drinking technique.
Cool!
A cool, refreshing sensation seeped into a corner of Li Fan's body.
He felt a sense of inner joy.
It's like someone who hasn't eaten meat in a long time suddenly having a barbecue.
Speaking of barbecue, it's been a long time since I've had any.
Li Fan has started another round of spacing out.
......
The pool water slowly dried up, revealing a bottom that had been stained pure white.
The strange stone began to shrink slowly until it finally revealed its true form.
That was a stone tablet.
The stone tablet is decorated with flowers, birds, insects, fish, mountains, rivers, and ravines.
Suddenly, an eye appeared on the surface of the stone tablet.
That eye had many black spots inside, making it look strange.
However, it did not make any further moves after it appeared, and just stared at Li Fan quietly.
Finally, Li Fan opened his eyes.
The feeling of being watched washed over him, and he began searching for the spy.
Stone tablet?
When I saw the stone tablet in front of me, that sense of familiarity surged up again.
Li Fan remembered this stone tablet.
He reached out and pulled the stone tablet out; it was no difficult task for him.
The cave remained unchanged, but a damp sensation emanated from the area in contact with the stone tablet.
That energy emanated from the stone tablet.
Li Fan reached out and touched the stone tablet; every line was so familiar.
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
......
Gradually.
Li Fan realized something was wrong.
Every time I touch certain patterns, a strange feeling stirs within me.
It was as if it shouldn't exist there.
Soon, Li Fan spotted the eyeball.
This eyeball shouldn't exist.
After thinking it over, Li Fan decided to restore the stone tablet.
He drew his black knife from his waist, ready to strike.
But just then a voice came from inside, "Wait a moment."
Immediately afterwards, a vortex appeared on the surface of the eyeball, and a humanoid creature walked out of the stone tablet.
It is humanoid because it has no face.
Or rather, that strange-looking eyeball is his face.
"Nice to meet you, I am Gu."
A humanoid creature named Gu stretched out its hand.
"Nice to meet you, I am Chaos."
Li Fan thought for a moment and then announced the name of Chaos.
He wanted to see what kind of person this guy was.
After all, he must be extraordinary to be able to convert the strange energy released by that being called "Chaos" into absorbable energy, or rather, he must be connected to Chaos to some extent.
"You are not chaos."
Gu Du said firmly, "I didn't sense the slightest trace of chaos from you."
"Are you Chaos?"
Li Fan asked.
"no."
Gu shook his head, then said, "More accurately, a slave to chaos."
"So what's going on here?"
Li Fan asked, puzzled.
This doesn't make sense.
If one is a slave to chaos, how can one be uncontrollable and transform chaotic energy?
"it!"
Gu pointed to the stone tablet and said, "It can convert the power of chaos into the kind of energy you absorb."
The reason I stayed here is because of this.
I can only stay conscious by staying inside it.
"So it's because of this that other living beings on this star can maintain their consciousness?"
Li Fan thought for a moment and voiced his doubts, "Now it seems that the Desolate Star has entered this energy-filled area, but the creatures of the Desolate Star have only undergone external distortions, and their consciousness has not gone mad."
