Chapter 477

If there are enough Star Crystals on the Star Fruit Tree, Lin Zhen can even use the Star Crystals here to improve his realm, without having to spend a huge amount of money to buy metals anymore.

However, there weren’t as many Star Crystals on the tree as there were when he first took part in the God Generals Training Camp. The number of Star Crystals here had decreased a lot.

Especially, there were even fewer Constant Star Crystals. Lin Zhen stayed here for a whole week, exploring the original Beehive, Ant Nest, Sky Dome, and other places, but he did not see many Constant Star Crystals.

However, there was a pleasant surprise: there were still quite a few Planet Crystals here, enough for Lin Zhen to cultivate and reach the Planet Ninth Level Peak.

This was excellent news for Lin Zhen. Otherwise, the metal required to advance from Planet Eighth Level to Level Nine would cost him hundreds of billions of Cosmic Crystals, and advancing from Level 9 to the Constant Star Stage would also require a vast amount of money. These Planet Crystals here could save Lin Zhen up to trillions of Cosmic Crystals!

“It seems that this time I have to enjoy the benefits alone. This tree is destined not to be open to all the people,” Lin Zhen said while standing under the fruit tree and speaking to Chen Fenglie beside him.

Chen Fenglie had been here for several days in a row, and his realm had already reached the Satellite Stage Peak. He was about to advance to the Planet Stage and had taken quite an advantage.

Hearing Lin Zhen’s decision, he nodded and said, “Lin Zhen, you don’t have to feel guilty. As a Lord, if you can’t create good conditions for yourself and your family, what’s the point of being a Lord?”

“Haha! You’re right; I’ve treated my people fairly. After all, a Lord should have some privileges.”

Chen Fenglie laughed, but then voiced his doubts, “But this Star Fruit Tree is still here, and I guess sooner or later, someone will come to explore this place. Lin Zhen, I’m afraid this secret won’t last long.”

“You have a point. Should I send someone to guard this place? That would be like announcing that there’s silver hidden here.” Lin Zhen also considered this problem.

“If only we could move this fruit tree,” Chen Fenglie casually said.

His words caught Lin Zhen’s attention, and a thought flashed through his mind.

Lin Zhen stood there in a daze for a while and didn’t move until Chen Fenglie repeatedly called him. Then he came back to his senses.

“What did you just say, Brother Chen?” Lin Zhen asked.

“What did I say?”

“Your last sentence, what did you say?”

Chen Fenglie thought for a moment, “I said, Lin Zhen, what are you thinking about?”

“No, no, the sentence before that.”

“I said… if only we could move this fruit tree.”

Lin Zhen’s eyes suddenly brightened. “Yes, yes! That’s the sentence. If we could move the Star Fruit Tree, it would solve many problems.”

Keeping the Star Fruit Tree on Earth indeed poses many problems. It would not only attract the covetousness of others but also absorb Earth’s nutrients.

Planets have life too, and one day, if Earth’s nutrients are drained by the Star Fruit Tree, it will die, turning completely into a desert planet.

Therefore, the problem of the Star Fruit Tree must be resolved: either move it or cut it down.

Of course, Chen Fenglie knew this himself, and he paused, “Lin Zhen, you’re not thinking of cutting down the Star Fruit Tree, are you?”

“Why cut it down? I want to move it to another place where it may even produce more Constant Star Crystals. And we don’t have to worry about it being coveted by others.”

“No, no!”

Chen Fenglie hurriedly said to Lin Zhen, “Lin Zhen, if your idea is to move the Star Fruit Tree near Ice City Base City, forget it. Not to mention how to move it, as long as it’s still on Earth, the result will be the same. Can you even move it to another planet? As far as I know, there is no suitable planet in our Solar System.”

Lin Zhen smiled at Chen Fenglie, “Brother Chen, don’t worry. I definitely won’t let it stay on Earth. As for which planet it will go to… let me keep it a secret for now.”

Lin Zhen already had a plan. If the Star Fruit Tree was going to be moved, the only destination would be his own Dark Star Space.

The Dark Star is a huge planet, dozens of times larger than Earth. It has ample room to accommodate the Star Fruit Tree, and the Dark Star is still advancing, so there’s no need to worry about it absorbing all the nutrients.

However, this issue couldn’t be mentioned to anyone, not even Chen Fenglie.

Seeing that Lin Zhen didn’t say anything, Chen Fenglie didn’t ask further. As a martial artist, he knew not to ask questions he shouldn’t ask. In any case, Lin Zhen wouldn’t treat him unfairly.

“Do you need my help here?”

“No need. Brother Chen, you can leave first.”

Chen Fenglie nodded and left on a small flying vehicle.

After Chen Fenglie left, there were no other people near the Star Fruit Tree. After all, ferocious insects frequented this area, and no one dared to approach.

“Chris, can you calculate the range of this tree’s root system and the weight when it is pulled out?”

Chris immediately performed a rapid calculation and gave Lin Zhen the answer after a while.

“Master, the root system of the Star Fruit Tree has a diameter of about 100 kilometers. If you forcibly pull it out, it will cause tsunamis and continental plate movements on Earth, which will be a man-made disaster.”

“Oh! That’s serious.” Lin Zhen frowned slightly.

“Yes, so my suggestion to you is to separate the soil layer of the Star Fruit Tree’s root system from the external soil layer first. That would make it much better.”

“Do we go underground to cut it?”

“Yes, Tianhe Star has robots for this kind of operation, and you just need to buy dozens of them, and they can finish it in a day.”

Under Chris’s guidance, Lin Zhen bought dozens of robots.

These robots went underground to separate the soil around the Star Fruit Tree’s roots from the surrounding soil.

The giant root system extended for more than a hundred kilometers, and the unimaginable weight of the soil it carried would leave a massive pit if the tree were to be moved.

“It’s quite a challenge to move this fruit tree to Dark Star Space all at once. I might not be able to do it myself. Chris, come up with a plan for me.”

Since Chris knew Lin Zhen’s abilities well, he quickly presented a solution.

“To move the Star Fruit Tree without damaging it, first, you need to pull it out using your Perpetual Crystal Spaceship. Then, you need to use the power of the Dark Star to create a Black Hole Storm, which will absorb both the spaceship and the tree. Make sure to choose a spacious location for this.”

“Okay, I’ll tie the tree up first.”

Lin Zhen’s clone appeared and piloted the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship above the Star Fruit Tree.

Heavy ropes were thrown down from the spaceship.

Lin Zhen flew upwards, grabbing one end of the rope with his hand, and began flying around the Star Fruit Tree with his Lightning Wings.

After five laps, he tied the rope from the base to the top of the tree, covering several key points on the trunk.

“Give it a try.”

The Perpetual Crystal Spaceship started up with a buzzing sound, slowly lifting the Star Fruit Tree from the ground.

“Crack…!!!”

As soon as the tree was slightly off the ground, the ropes snapped due to the tension.

“Master, I overlooked one thing – the ropes are not strong enough.”

“What do we do then? Are there any other ropes available that can handle the weight of the Star Fruit Tree?”

“I’m sorry, master. Tianhe Empire and Sanjiang Star Domain Federation don’t have any, and although the Fire Kirin Empire may have some, it’s too far away. The tree has already been dug out, and we need to move it as soon as possible, so there’s not enough time.”

Lin Zhen took a deep breath, wondering where he could find a strong enough rope.

“Ah! Cloud-climbing Vine!”

At once, Lin Zhen jumped onto the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship and flew straight to the Bermuda Sea.

Cloud-climbing Vine was deeply embedded at the bottom of the sea, and it would be hard for ordinary people to dive deep and excavate it. However, Lin Zhen could. He jumped off the spaceship and sank 12,000 meters to the seabed with a single breath.

The vine was hundreds of meters thick, and Lin Zhen couldn’t wrap his arms around it. But he had a plan: he took out the Light Annihilation and had his clone hold one end while he held the other, then encircling the Cloud-climbing Vine together.

“Up!”

Lin Zhen roared as he and his clone used their strength simultaneously!

With Lin Zhen’s power now comparable to Black Hole Peak, both he and his clone managed to uproot this alien vine, which was deeply rooted at the bottom of the sea!

Both of them carried the Cloud-climbing Vine upwards and hung it on the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship.

The spaceship appeared to be carrying a giant snake as it flew back to the Star Fruit Tree from the Bermuda Sea.

Lin Zhen’s real body circled the Star Fruit Tree with the Cloud-climbing Vine, which was long enough to wrap around the tree three times.

The Light Annihilation acted as a tether to attach the Cloud-climbing Vine to the spaceship, preventing the vine from falling off.

Once the three loops were completed, the clone activated the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship.

Rumble~~!!!

The massive engine of the Perpetual Crystal Spaceship roared to life, and with the Light Annihilation in place, the Cloud-climbing Vine straightened instantly. After a brief standoff, the Star Fruit Tree was finally lifted!

The Perpetual Crystal Spaceship ascended vertically, carrying the enormous tree, which was over a hundred kilometers in diameter, into the sky, leaving a deep, vast pit beneath it!

Lin Zhen teleported multiple times to the edge of the atmosphere and looked down on the scene from outer space.

Not until the spaceship, carrying the Star Fruit Tree, came into sight did Lin Zhen breathe a sigh of relief.

The power of the Dark Star burst forth, creating a Black Hole Storm!

There are two types of Black Hole Storms: destructive and absorptive. The destructive type is used for annihilation, while the absorptive simply transfers the target into the user’s Dark Star Space.

Back in the World Stone, Lin Zhen used this move to devour a large number of Cosmic Crystals.

The surrounding space collapsed instantly, with Lin Zhen as its starting point, spreading rapidly forward and growing larger, enveloping both the spaceship and the Star Fruit Tree.

“Retrieve!”

The black hole appeared and disappeared, leaving nothing in the space around it, not even air, everything having been absorbed by Lin Zhen into his Dark Star Space.
