Chapter 119 The Birth of an Active Planet
They are both giant trees. The golden tree with a human face had brought a lot of psychological trauma to Lu Qi, but this one is not so bad now.
The main thing is that it doesn't have a disgusting face.
The towering trees are extremely tall, and it is impossible for ordinary people to climb up without the help of props. The only ones who can climb up are Lu Qi, who has the ability to fly, and Akivali, the star god himself.
Akivelli wanted to go along, but when he saw Lu Qi starting to transform into a dragon again, his eyes lit up and he went over to ask if he could ride in the dragon car.
Lu Qi opened his mouth and started spraying him.
"No!" She emphasized the rejection in her words, "Last time I let you sit on my head, what did you do to my horns? Have you forgotten?"
"I just think the red on your dragon's horns is a bit off..." Akivali pointed at his finger pitifully, "I just want it to look better."
"And then you paint Pam on my corner with paint that won't wash out for ten days or half a month?"
Akivelli looked away guiltily.
Lu Qi's golden-red dragon horns, especially those near the dragon scales, are particularly eye-catching.
The beautiful golden color was stained with other colors, but Akivali did not believe that it was natural.
It was like something that had been damaged by violence and repaired with all possible efforts, and there was also the power of immortal destiny entwined in it, so strong and astonishing.
The Immortal Dragon probably cares about his descendants very much... Akivelli doesn't know about other dragon descendants, but in Lu Qi, he can see the supreme favor of the "missing" or fallen star god.
Lu Qi has almost stepped half a foot into the threshold of becoming a Star God.
She can no longer be called a "human" and is even very different from other dragonborn.
But even such a girl who is full of divinity, her every move still shows that of a girl who is ignorant of the world.
Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are all normal, and there will be corresponding compassion and precious curiosity.
This made Akivali very curious.
What kind of experience can produce such unique humans?
While Akivali was thinking, he was drawing something on her dragon horns.
His movements were very light, but Lu Qi's perception was very sharp, and he noticed something was wrong almost as soon as he made the first move.
The little white dragon threw him down angrily.
She looked at her horns in the mist for a long time, and saw a black and white Pam at the bottom, the paint of which could not be rubbed off.
From a distance, it looks like a conspicuous ink spot appearing on a beautiful golden ruby ornament.
It's not harmonious and looks a bit ugly.
Lu Qi rubbed it for a long time but couldn't get it off. She could only blame the culprit and tell him that he would not be allowed to sit on her when she turned into a dragon.
Akivelli was not allowed to ride the Little White Dragon Express, so he had to stay in the camp and be ordered around by others.
It’s not that He couldn’t go up with them, but He just went up to watch Lu Qi pick different leaves, which wasn’t fun at all.
It would be better to leave it and wait for others to investigate the situation.
Akivalli's job was simple. He just acted as an assistant in handing out props. He would take whatever others needed and would not do any extra work.
He sighed sadly.
Now everyone has become a veteran, it’s not fun at all.
He completely forgot that this was his own fault.
After playing pranks on so many people, Wumingke knew what kind of person Akivalli was.
If I didn't know that He was the Star God of Pioneers, I would have thought He was the Star God of Joy...
On the other side, Lu Qi flew upwards along the thick trunk. She felt that she was almost reaching the surface of the planet, but had not yet reached the top.
There's something wrong with this tree... What is this, a spatial extension?
From the outside, the trunk looks tall, but it's not as tall as the entire planet.
Lu Qi could only fly sideways a little further and then fly vertically upwards.
The closer you get to the treetops, the more oxygen there is in the air, and the stronger the feeling of discomfort becomes.
It seems that this is not an illusion... This tree has really been blessed with abundance.
The treetops are filled with a rich atmosphere, and young, tender roots and branches grow in the crowns.
It has gained enough energy and is breaking away from the withered trunk.
This is a tree that is undergoing transformation.
Lu Qi mobilized the abundant strength and energy in his body and slowly approached.
It would have been fine if she was alone, but there was still a group of ordinary unknown pioneers left behind.
Although Akivali is a star god, he does not have the power to protect others like Cunhu.
He didn't have three heads and six arms, and he could only carry a few people with him when he escaped. Lu Qi didn't dare to bet on what Akivalli could do.
Creatures blessed by abundance also have the ability to transform, and are obviously different from ordinary abundance creatures.
But only one thing is certain.
This tree is a "living" tree.
Like the ability to walk, it has gained eternal life under the blessing of abundance.
…How come she has already taken on the lead of the Star God of Development, but still has to clean up the mess for the Star God of Plenty!
Bastard!
She would have to try it carefully, and if there was no other way, she would let everyone else go back on the train.
After thinking it over, Lu Qi lowered his head, his golden pupils narrowing to a barely visible line. The characteristics of the Immortal Dragon's descendant were now apparent, and his exceptional vision accurately captured Akivali's location.
"Achivelli, look up at me."
While he was working hard on the mechanical work, he seemed to hear Lu Qi's voice in his ears.
He raised his head and looked upwards, his golden eyes meeting Lu Qi in the distant sky.
"Take them and get out of the range of this tree quickly."
The others felt uneasy when they saw his inexplicable reaction.
"Achivelli, what happened?"
"Well... there seems to be some unexpected incident on Lu Qi's side." Akivelli said, putting down the props in his hand.
Just when everyone thought that He would go down to check the situation, the star god with gray hair and golden eyes clapped his hands with a serious expression.
"Everyone, put down your work and follow my instructions—"
"three."
"two."
"one."
“Run!”
The nameless guests were very obedient. They started running without thinking. Akivali followed behind to cover their retreat. As he ran, he waved to Lu Qi in the treetops.
"I'll take them back first—I'll come back to you later—"
Lu Qi saw a group of dark figures running wildly as if they were being chased by dogs. They didn't even pick up their things and threw them on the ground randomly.
All those backpacks, belongings, and expensive equipment were left behind, just because of Akivalli's words.
She began to wonder if her words implied an attempt to escape.
...No, she simply wanted to do something else and was afraid to guarantee the safety of the people below, so she asked Akivali to take them to evacuate first.
The unknown guests who had the same idea as Lu Qi stopped belatedly and looked back. There was neither strange creature chasing them nor any imminent danger.
"Have we run far enough?... Achieveri, what happened?"
"Little White Dragon is still there, is it okay?"
"If it's too dangerous, tell her to come back quickly. I'll just say there's something wrong with that tree."
"Everyone knows there's something wrong with the tree...it's a shame for my research results. The analysis is almost done, just a few leaves are missing!"
The others glared at him.
"Lu Qi's life or death is uncertain, why are you only thinking about your own research!"
"That's right, that's right, I'm going to tell the navigator to deduct your pocket money!"
"Are you really not resentful that he has twice as much pocket money as you..."
"Haha, no one else can have what I don't have!"
"Stop acting and think about what to do now," one of the team leaders said helplessly. He turned to look at Akivelli who had caught up with him. "Akivelli, where are we going next?"
"You guys should go back along the same route and meet up with the navigator."
It is definitely right to listen to Akivalli's advice in times of crisis, but everyone is confused about the current situation and doesn't know what is happening.
Before leaving, the captain turned around and asked Akivali.
"By the way, Akivali, is there something chasing us?"
"Well... well," Achievelli said with a smile, "there's nothing."
"Then why did you make us run——"
"Don't you think running like this increases the sense of danger?"
“…”
“…………”
"Achivelli, are you sick?!"
Akivali was held down and scolded by others, and could only pinch his ears to indicate that he would be responsible for moving the things back.
This made the nameless guests calm down and go back.
Although Akivali was good at playing tricks on people, he would not keep others away from the giant tree for no reason.
After sending the others back to the camp, he turned around and went back immediately without explaining to the navigator.
While He was on his way, Lu Qi had already begun to "knock on the door" recklessly, trying to communicate with the giant tree.
Creatures without much intelligence will not grow in intelligence even if they receive a glance or blessing from a star god.
The same is true for this tree.
Lu Qi roughly used the power of abundance to destroy the "shell" produced by metamorphosis, and the giant tree underneath began to move like crazy.
Akivelli, who had just arrived at the camp, jumped up and down, complaining while picking up the things left behind by others.
These are all important research. They seem to have discovered something wrong with this planet, and the research results cannot be destroyed.
The important things were put away, and the unimportant things were destroyed by the rioting roots below.
Akivelli jumped on it quickly without even looking at it.
Perhaps it was because Lu Qi "provoked" him from above, Akivelli did not encounter the same obstruction as Lu Qi, and appeared beside her very quickly.
Lu Qi tried to comfort it in a panic, but her initial actions were too rough, causing the molting tree to feel a sense of crisis and extremely reject other existences.
Even Akivali was driven away, his thick roots waving wildly, as agile as a mad octopus.
The unknown guests far away in the camp could naturally feel this strange vibration. The unknown guests who brought their own telescopes took out their own tools and looked into the distance accurately.
As he watched, he exclaimed "Wow".
"Don't just be surprised. Tell me, what happened over there?"
The other unknown guests who returned from the giant tree knew nothing about anything. They only knew that they were staying there well, and Akivalli suddenly made other moves and tricked them all back.
Fortunately, although everyone disliked Akivali, they still obeyed him when it mattered.
Not long after I came back, there was an earthquake-like movement at the location of the giant tree.
"Tentacle battle!" said the nameless guest who was watching confidently.
What tentacles?
Others didn't believe it and looked carefully one by one through telescopes.
Everyone's expression was complicated.
Well... it was indeed a tentacle battle, but there was a white "tentacle" mixed in among those tentacles. From a distance, their beautiful little dragon was also very long.
Lu Qi works hard to tame the disobedient tree.
This tree has a bad temper. It doesn't respond when you communicate with it, and it will chase and beat you if you force the door open.
Lu Qi had no choice but to prune it.
As long as enough tentacles are broken, whether one is intelligent or not, he will have a sufficient sense of crisis.
Lu Qi, who turned into a giant dragon, was not afraid of the branches that were wrapped around her. She was wearing armor and her dragon scales were very sharp. If she stood still and let the roots of the tree entangle her, it would not be her who was split in half.
While she was busy, Akivali observed her for a while and found that she was not injured and could still play with the "giant tree". He was already applauding and watching the show.
"Ah, Lu Qi, it's coming again!"
"Wow, you're still not giving up even after being broken in half?"
"Wait, I didn't break your branch... Your opponent is over there, don't hurt me by mistake."
Lu Qi angrily lifted up half of the root and threw it viciously at Akivali.
"You bastard Star God, which side are you on?!"
"Of course I'm on your side," Achievelli said, looking at Lu Qi about to lose his temper again. He could only withdraw his expression of watching the show with discontent, "You're just playing with it..."
"Play [expletive*mouth], come and help!"
Simply making this giant tree fall down is actually quite simple.
If we attack the newly grown twigs in its crown recklessly, we can nip any movement in the bud.
Akivalli said that Lu Qi was just playing, and in fact, he behaved in a similar way.
Lu Qi had no intention of directly snuffing out the life of the tree.
"There's no point in keeping it, is there?" Akivelli asked, puzzled. "It seems like it has a bad temper."
"I have a bad temper too."
"Well... this is still different. Lu Qi, you are much cuter than it!"
Lu Qi rolled his eyes at him.
"Why didn't Ah Ha come? It's not like Him to not watch the fun."
"Aha said that if His small body came to fight the tentacles, He would probably be cut in half before reaching the center. He doesn't want to change his incarnation and be used as a beast of burden. It would look too strange."
"...He's very strange now, right? The other nameless guests all think he's mentally ill."
"That's right," Akivali nodded in agreement. "But He said He really likes the design of this avatar. 'Hair and eye colors that change with mood are cool!' That's what He said."
"Go back and dye His hair a color that won't fade for ten days or half a month. The current color is an eyesore."
Akivelli voted in favor.
He may not think that Ah Ha's hair is an eyesore, but he definitely wants to see Ah Ha's angry expression.
Even if it's fake, it's still fun.
The imaginative conversation came to an end and finally returned to the original question.
"So that's why you kept it?"
"Didn't you notice that when it moves violently, the entire planet trembles?" Lu Qi glanced at him. "The roots of this tree have penetrated deep into the planet, and I'm afraid they're now eroding the planet's 'core'."
"Hmm?"
"It's assimilating with this planet," Lu Qi said calmly, "There are only two possible outcomes of assimilation."
"Assimilation succeeded. This planet has become its parasite. In the future, it will evolve into an active planet and become a cosmic disaster."
"Assimilation failed. This planet has been devoured by most of its supplies, drying up and crumbling. All life within will be buried with it."
The platinum-colored light fell on Lu Qi's face, and those beautiful, star-dust-like rays of light lovingly dyed her cheeks with pure colors.
In the golden pupils, the unique pupil pattern is like a swaying golden ocean.
"Killing it would also mean a failure of assimilation. Everyone except you and me will die here."
***
Lu Qi’s knowledge of activated planets comes from the Immortal Boat. Planets that are almost unintelligent cannot be considered as “intelligent” creatures.
They were enlightened by the Order of Plenty and became sharp weapons in their hands.
Lu Qi had destroyed such an active planet before. Compared with this relatively vibrant planet now, those planets had long been "dead".
The creatures inside cannot coexist with it and can only become its nutrients.
Things swallowed by activated planets often end up being destroyed.
Lu Qi also discovered something was wrong during the investigation. This tree was really too big and was even still growing. Even if it died in an accident, it could still be reborn.
It's really strange.
She initially thought it was a characteristic of the planet's plants, but after careful observation, she discovered the aura of fertility left on it.
I thought it was a blessing from the Plenty Pharmacist... Now it seems that this was probably a "good deed" done by some Plenty Messenger.
After Lu Qi sealed the infinitely expanding young branch of the giant tree, he brought Akivali back to the base camp.
Akivali retrieved some of the items from under the giant tree, and Lu Qi told the news to the navigator.
The nameless guests were quite knowledgeable, but no one had ever heard of anything related to the "activated planet" and did not know what the consequences would be.
During this era, the reputation of Fung Choi gradually grew, and most people had a great favorability towards this benevolent star god, and had never experienced a struggle with the evil creature of Fung Choi.
Lu Qi had no intention of telling them what would happen in the future, he just wanted to tell them the fate of this planet.
In addition to the huge trees, the planet also has exciting mineral resources and countless new species.
Lu Qi wants to wipe out the entire planet, but the creatures left on the planet are innocent.
After she destroyed the planet, what would happen to the creatures on it? Would there be a new home for them to survive?
Everything is unknown.
This is where the disagreement arises.
The result of the discussion would not come out for a while, so Lu Qi sat away from the crowd, roasting the huge nuts intermittently.
She was carelessly turning the roasted nuts with a branch, and her back looked pitiful.
After a busy day and earning a lot of contribution points, Aha sat down next to her.
"Oh, my dear little white dragon, what are you worried about?"
"You know the answer but you still ask."
"Oh, if you don't tell me, how can Ahab know?" Ahab said in a pretentious manner, "Let Ahab guess - you destroy the tree now, right?"
Isn’t this nonsense? Anyone with eyes can see it, but no one says it as bluntly as Aha.
Lu Qi is not a bad person, but at times like this, she can show her unique side.
Aha, who had been observing her for a long time, finally discovered her inhumanity.
How could someone who has stepped into the ranks of star gods and can even be called half-human be a completely normal person?
Star Gods are all stubborn, and Lu Qi also has some of these characteristics.
However, Aha felt that he would not give up observing her until she became completely bored.
Interesting, isn't it?
The Star-God of Joy stared at her with interest.
"You want to destroy that tree... and you have to do it now?"
Of course not.
But Lu Qi didn’t know how much time he had left.
She just felt that if she didn't do it now, then this planet would become an active planet in the future, and one day it would become a weapon for the evil creatures, helping them to devour the immortal boat.
Even though she knew, even if the planet eventually grew into something she didn't want to see, she couldn't change the past.
This game is just so unforgiving.
She was just plain unhappy.
"Why, do you have a way to help me?" Lu Qi glanced at Him.
"Of course."
Lu Qi paused and tilted his head to look at Him.
"You devoured that tree, made it a part of you, and made it stay in its current state forever... Isn't that possible?"
"...Aha, do I look like a fool?"
"How could that be? Aha is giving his suggestions seriously!"
"If I go and swallow that tree, I'll never be able to leave this planet for the rest of my life... You want to see me turn into a tree?" Lu Qi started to complain, then raised her voice and called out to her helper, "Achieveri, help me beat Him!"
Akivelli was still listening to other people's ideas, but when he heard this, he immediately abandoned everyone without looking back.
He rushed over with great energy.
"Bullying Lu Qi? Prepare to die!"
Aha: "? I'm just helping her solve her problems!"
Seeing Ah Ha being beaten, Lu Qi felt relieved, and some of the impatience in his heart dissipated.
After driving away Aha, Akivli returned to Lu Qi. The Pioneering Star God looked down at her and watched as her face underwent obvious changes.
"Wait, don't move."
Akivali cupped her face.
A green totem like a flower or a tree appeared on Xiaobailong's face, winding and occupying half of her cheek.
Like an unpleasant creature asserting its sovereignty.
The star god with gray hair and golden eyes stared at her face closely, and his eyes filled with stars reflected her confused look.
"Achivelli, what's wrong?"
This is an extremely close position.
His gray hair had already touched the tip of her nose, and the hot breath he exhaled fell on his face.
Lu Qi could still feel his fingertips caressing her cheek.
Harder and harder, harder and harder.
The Star God rubbed her cheek, interrupting all her thoughts before she could utter an angry word.
He gazed at this beautiful yet pitiful face.
"Lu Qi," He said, "your eyes have turned green."
