Chapter 897: 897 Chapter 897: 000128 Non-Life Star System Within a 20-light-year range, besides life star systems, there are also some non-life star systems. Lin Moryu’s task this time is to explore one of these non-life star systems. Non-life star systems are not devoid of life; they are simply not suitable for human habitation. In fact, the life star systems where humans currently live were all transformed by powerful human beings. Each life star system, besides having life planets, is also equipped with resource planets. This ensures that humans do not lack resources during their cultivation, making their training smoother. The reasons for the formation of non-life star systems are varied. Some are naturally formed, while others are created posthumously. During the great wars of the past, many life star systems were destroyed and turned into ruins, eventually becoming non-life star systems with no value for transformation. In some non-life star systems left over from great wars, many strange things have been born. Human experts have cleared some of them, but some remain. Over time, these non-life star systems have become places for human descendants to complete tasks and undergo training. The task Lin Moryu took on this time is a real-world task. Although it is also a level two task, the level two tasks in the Human Emperor Network do not pose any danger, at most resulting in task failure. Therefore, the rewards for level two tasks in the Human Emperor Network are generally half of those in the real world. Lin Moryu’s task this time is such a task. Although it is a level two task, the reward is 100 points. Despite some dangers, level two tasks correspond to those below Super God Tier 6, so the danger is limited. After accepting the task, Lin Moryu first checked the information about the Vermilion Bird 000128 non-life star system. In the Human Emperor Network, much of the information is free, with only some confidential information requiring a fee. With the corresponding permissions, one can view the relevant information. The Vermilion Bird 000128 non-life star system was once a complete star system inhabited by life forms similar to fire elements. However, during a great war, the star system was destroyed and completely annihilated. The stars within it exploded into fragments, igniting the entire star system. The fire burned for tens of thousands of years before it finally extinguished, but not completely. In the flames, a material called Starfire Gold was born. Starfire Gold contains the power of fire element laws and is a good material for crafting. The task this time is to obtain Starfire Gold, with a requirement of at least ten pounds. Ten pounds of Starfire Gold is roughly the size of a fist. Starfire Gold is not difficult to find; the challenge lies in the Starfire Beasts that accompany it. Each piece of Starfire Gold is accompanied by a Starfire Beast, and to obtain the Starfire Gold, one must kill the Starfire Beast. The information also specifically mentions that one must be particularly cautious of Starfire in the Vermilion Bird 000128 non-life star system. Starfire is a remnant of the star explosion and has not completely extinguished, still existing in the star system. Starfire can cause immense damage to both the body and soul, so one must be extremely careful. After noting all the requirements, Lin Moryu left the Human Emperor Network. He found the nearest teleportation array and spent 1 point to teleport to the Vermilion Bird 000128 star system. The teleportation fee is the same in both the real world and the Human Emperor Network: 1 point for distances within 10 light-years. Countless streams of light flashed before his eyes, and Lin Moryu seemed to see countless stars receding. The speed was extreme, traveling at 1 light-year per second. The pressure from the teleportation was significant, bearable only for those at the Super God level. Lin Moryu understood why one must reach the Super God level to obtain level one permissions and use the teleportation array. The immense pressure from interstellar teleportation could crush a half-step Super God into pieces. Thus, the Super God level is the true threshold. Teleportation in the real world differs slightly from that in the Human Emperor Network, where there is no pressure from the teleportation array. Five seconds later, the teleportation stopped. Lin Moryu stepped out of the teleportation array. Human experts had built a massive teleportation array on the outskirts of the Vermilion Bird 000128 non-life star system. After exiting the teleportation array, Lin Moryu had to proceed to the star system’s interior on his own. The star system appeared close but was actually very far. Lin Moryu spread his undead wings and used his soul power to fly at full speed. After flying for a few minutes, Lin Moryu had to stop. The distance between him and the star system had only decreased by a negligible amount. At this rate, it would take him at least ten days of full-speed flight to reach the star system’s interior. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺 Lin Moryu recalled an old saying: "Looking at the mountain, the horse dies from running." Now, he was looking at the stars, about to fly himself to death. Lin Moryu stopped and summoned the God-Slaying Fortress. The God-Slaying Fortress, now in a tower form, looked identical to the ancient Thunder Tower. Lin Moryu entered the ancient Thunder Tower, communicating with its core through his soul, continuously injecting soul power into it. Layers of lightning appeared outside the God-Slaying Fortress, and in the next second, it disappeared into the starry sky. Lin Moryu saw the star system approaching him at an incredible speed, far surpassing his undead wings. "No wonder Antares insisted on me taking the God-Slaying Fortress. I didn’t expect it to be so useful for traveling." Lin Moryu roughly calculated that the God-Slaying Fortress’s speed was about a hundred times faster than his undead wings. At this rate, it would take less than two hours to enter the star system. Lin Moryu’s soul power was continuously consumed, with the talent tree in his soul swaying, its drooping branches gently touching Lin Moryu. The immense soul power continuously flowed, replenishing his consumption. Although the consumption rate was fast, the talent tree’s replenishment rate was even faster, keeping up completely. With Lin Moryu’s current soul power, although it was not enough to fully unleash the God-Slaying Fortress’s combat power, it was more than sufficient for traveling. The God-Slaying Fortress, transformed into a bolt of lightning, flew through the dark starry sky. Two hours later, the God-Slaying Fortress entered the Vermilion Bird 000128 non-life star system. The God-Slaying Fortress stopped, and as soon as Lin Moryu stepped out, he felt an intense heat. "Such high temperature, at least ten thousand degrees." The star system appeared cold, with no stars. Without sunlight, it should have been extremely cold. However, it was scorching hot, filled with fire elements. In his vision, Lin Moryu saw many shattered stars. He could clearly feel the terrifying high temperatures still present inside these broken stars. The dark exterior did not match the blazing interior. After the star exploded, the flames burned in the star system for tens of thousands of years, leaving behind the current broken star system. Lin Moryu chose the largest nearby star and flew towards it. The star was shattered, with less than a third remaining, but it was still enormous. Lin Moryu felt that it was larger than the small world he once inhabited. It was once a massive star, and such a huge star might contain Starfire Gold. Lin Moryu was not concerned about the Starfire Beasts accompanying the Starfire Gold. Super God-level Starfire Beasts could not harm him. Just as he was about to descend, a soul message came through. "Friend, please wait a moment." Lin Moryu saw three people flying towards him. They seemed to have been on the other side of the star, so he hadn’t seen them before. Two men and one woman, none of them hiding their basic information, all at Super God Tier 4. ---
