March 7th spoke first again: "What's going on? How did this rumor get here? Before we came, Himeko said that this place should have been cut off from the outside world."

"What's going on? How did this rumor spread here? Before we came, Ji..."

Before Xing could finish speaking, March 7th turned and pinched her cheek, interrupting the spell: "How long have you been experiencing this 'repeating machine' symptom? Stop now."

Even with her cheeks being pinched, Xing remained defiant: "The repeating machine symptoms persist..."

"Stop! Hold on! We need to get down to business."

Xing's lips curled into a cute smile, attempting to get away with it by being adorable: "Hehe."

Xing's repetition was completely interrupted, and Bai Yan had also roughly finished reading the contents of the flyer.

Instead of showing anger, he smiled and said, "Today I'm going to try it out with my shoes and see if the Masked Fool's ass has been blessed by [protection]."

Chapter 47 The Monarch of the Rift Creators

The flyer that Bai Yan had finished reading was snatched away by San Yueqi to browse, and Xing also took a look at it.

March 7th read aloud: "[Life] Star God created another Star God. Is this the first step in His desire to rise above all beings?"

Bai Yan smiled and said, "It's just a rumor spread by the Masked Fool. No life is above all living beings, not even gods. We are all among all living beings."

March 7th looked up and smiled, "No wonder you study life sciences, your insights are truly unique."

After the minor incident, Bai Yan and the others followed the coordinates of their destination given by Ji Zi and continued on their way.

The "we" in Bai Yan's previous statement was widely understood by March 7th and Dan Heng as the five-person pioneering team.

But Nguyen Mai knew another interpretation: this so-called "we" might refer to all the Star Gods.

The [life] that the masked fools spread rumors about wanting to stand above all beings is now walking alongside them, interpreting and experiencing the beauty of life.

He is not above all beings, but walks among them.

Bai Yan sensed the subtle changes in everyone's life coordinates and silently followed behind them.

They did not encounter a blue-haired, masked Fool, and Bai Yan was not surprised by this development after reading the flyer.

It's obvious what that masked Fool is up to right now.

The encounter may be late, but it will not be absent. Bai Yan has already quietly set his sights on the life coordinates of the masked fool who has been deeply involved in this place.

"This feeling... is it a creation from a rift?"

At Dan Heng's questioning voice, everyone stopped in their tracks.

March 7th took two quick steps forward, and a bird-shaped, sky-blue crystal monster was wandering in front of him.

The train crew had previously interacted with worlds eroded by star cores and were quite sensitive to the aura of rift-created entities.

Because Hoshino has a star core in his body, Himeko had explained things about star cores and the cancer of all worlds to him, so he was no stranger to the term "creation of worlds".

Standing behind the crowd, Bai Yan once again rummaged through his ancient memories. These kinds of creations from the rift seemed to be called Frost Crystal Creations.

In the original storyline, this little bird also escaped from the rift by accident.

Bai Yan could sense a trace of intelligence from it. This frost crystal creation possessed the simplest intelligence, and its form and wisdom were similar to those of ordinary birds.

March 7th also asked in confusion, "Didn't Pam say that star orbits are normal? There's no star core here, so why are there rift creatures?"

Bai Yan stated the truth hypothetically: "Perhaps only the star core was taken away, and the rift here is deeply rooted, but it has no intention of expanding outwards, yet it still exists. This little bird accidentally escaped from the rift."

Xing had taken out her phone at some point, but then put it away again: "I just asked Uncle Yang, and he said the same thing."

Ruan Mei stood beside Bai Yan. She had some understanding of the life forms of the Rift Creation beings and spoke softly:

"The rift creations generated by the Cancer of All Realms are generally quite aggressive. This little bird discovered us, but it didn't seem to intend to attack us. That's a bit... strange."

March 7th took two more steps forward: "It seems that's indeed the case; it really didn't intend to attack us."

"Be careful," Danheng warned.

But as soon as Danheng reminded her, another girl stepped forward as well.

Xing walked much faster than March 7th, drawn by an inexplicable feeling.

She sensed no hostility from the frost crystal creature; it even seemed to be nodding at her in a gesture of respect and affection.

She stepped closer to the little creature, which flapped its wings and circled around her like a delightful little bird.

Xing tried to reach out and place her hand on the little guy's head, gently stroking it.

The little guy showed no resistance whatsoever; on the contrary, it affectionately rubbed against Xing's hand.

Bai Yan chuckled and said, "It seems it likes you quite a bit."

"What's going on? Let me touch it too." March 7th also stepped over, but the little guy didn't show her the same affection he showed to Xing.

March 7th retorted, "Why is it only so good to stars? Danheng, you should try it too."

Dan Heng didn't speak, but he still walked over and silently watched the little guy, holding a long spear in his hand, wary of the little guy suddenly changing his attitude towards everyone.

Similarly, Dan Heng did not gain the favor of this Rift creature, but the creature did not change its attitude and still did not show any aggression.

March 7th felt better: "Hehe, it seems I'm not the only one who's disliked."

Ruan Mei also stepped over, and with a bit of curiosity, touched the creation of the rift.

Perhaps because Xing was present, this frost crystal creation did not resist the sudden contact.

Bai Yan explained the power he gave to Xing from an analytical and speculative perspective: "The star core is the source of the rifts, and the star core here is gone. If Xing can better control the power of the star core within you, you may become the new master of these rift creations, or even control the rifts."

The Rift Creators possess a strong sense of exclusivity, but they have altered the vessel of the Star. In the eyes of these Rift Creators, the Star is not merely "themselves" within their exclusivity, but rather, they are their sovereign.

Xing removed her hand from the Frost Crystal Creation's head. She had indeed had a strange feeling just now; for a moment, she vaguely sensed the rift range of this planet.

Before Xing could speak, March 7th said with some concern, "Becoming the master of these Rift Creations, and even controlling the Rifts? Is Xing going to become the main villain?"

"That depends on how she uses this power, doesn't it?"

Bai Yan first addressed March 7's concerns, then took out a ring and tossed it to Xing: "This is a portable home; it's yours."

Xing caught the ring that Bai Yan threw to her and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Bai Yan explained, "You can store these creations from the rift here and gradually familiarize yourself with your power. You can also release them as aids when needed."

March 7th was the first to ask: "This kind of thing must be very expensive, right?"

Bai Yan didn't care at all and smiled: "Credit points are for spending. Besides, this thing isn't expensive. I got it for a thousand credit points."

Xing has never been exposed to this kind of interstellar technology product, and currently has no concept of its value.

She smiled sheepishly and, without any formality, said to the teacher she had already become familiar with, "Thank you."

Bai Yan watched as Xing put the ring on her right index finger, her smile still lingering.

Actually, this was a high-end item that he had Estella help him order; its capacity was as large as the Black Tower space station.

One thousand credits? That's a bit too many zeros missing.

But as a gift for this child, it's barely acceptable.

Both Nguyen Mai and Dan Heng recognized the ring; its value was definitely not low, but neither of them said much.

On March 7th, he quickly leaned over to examine Xing's hand, still marveling at the craftsmanship of this "jewelry."

Xing invited the frost crystal creation in front of him to enter the ring, and the latter did not refuse.

On March 7th, the focus shifted from marveling at the craftsmanship of the jewelry to marveling at the new ability to observe the stars.

Bai Yan smiled without saying a word; for Xing, mastering this ability was only just beginning.

Chapter 48 Farewell to the Masked Fool

Not long after they started walking, Bai Yan and his group encountered a patrol led by Jepard, the Silver Mane Iron Guard officer.

This time, they weren't mistaken for Sambo's accomplices, and with Bai Yan's affability, the negotiations went much more smoothly.

Fortunately, Jeppard hadn't seen Sambo's flyer yet, and fortunately, there was no photo on it, so there was no need to waste words.

They had temporarily gained the trust of the garrison commander.

As Jepard introduced them to Beloberg, the last human stronghold on Yalilo VI, he led them through the snow and into Beloberg.

Belloberg's despair lingered in the shadows, and hope only lasted a day, with little change visible in the sunlight.

Bai Yan learned from Jepard that the people of Beloborg had gained the ability to venture deep into the snowfield starting yesterday.

As if dispelling the cold with the flame in their hearts, the farther they travel, the stronger the blessings they receive.

People initially thought it was a miracle brought by the [Guardian] Star God Kripper, but gradually they saw the figure of a girl in the white flames, and the word [Hope] appeared in their minds.

On the road to Kripper Fort.

Dan Heng, who wanted to supplement the think tank, was concerned and raised the question: "Has anyone gone missing because of this? It's very unwise to step into the snowfield without adequate preparation."

Jepard shook his head: "Not yet. The High Warden will soon issue the relevant decree. It is said that a Silvermane Iron Guard who was lost in the snowfield was guided back to Beloborg by the white flames."

Bai Yan and March 7th briefly met with the busy Cocolia in Kripperburg.

Cocolia, no longer swayed by the star core, acknowledged their status as extraterrestrial visitors and arranged accommodations and guides for them.

They now have plenty of time to experience the changes that have occurred in Belloberg overnight.

"Are you really not going to join us?"

Bai Yan's attempt to separate from March 7 and the others with Ruan Mei was met with skepticism, as did March 7's.

Bai Yan laughed and said, "It's relatively safe here. If we keep acting together, then Xing's classes these past few days have been a waste. Besides, do you really think I'm a scholar who can't even kill a chicken?"

March 7th, hands on hips: "Isn't that right?"

"When Estella attacked the Antimatter Legion, she told you not to worry about my safety, right?"

March 7th replied, "I already said that, so what?"

Dan Heng translated: "Bai Yan means that he had the ability to face the antimatter legion alone back then, so there is even less need to worry about him now."

"Really?" March 7th was not quite convinced, and also a little reluctant to part with Bai Yan.
