Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

Yao Guang left Cheng Xiao's house.

She got the answer she wanted.

Yes, perhaps she already had the answer, but just wanted the approval of the stronger party.

For Yao Guang, she was never one to be content with the status quo or to go with the flow.

She never accepted the idea of ​​a predetermined fate.

Even if it's a dead end, she'll still throw herself into it to try and find a glimmer of hope.

Yao Guang believed that "fortune and misfortune have no fixed gate; they are summoned by oneself."

Human determination can overcome nature.

After gaining recognition from Cheng Xiao, Yao Guang also let go of his confusion.

"It's just a small life, but if I can use it to disrupt the grand scheme of a powerful figure, the thought of it makes me quite happy~"

Yao Guang left, humming a little tune.

The next day, Jingtian brought bad news.

"Cheng Xiao, the nearest insect swarm to the Jade Palace is already three light-years away. What are your plans?"

After a moment of contemplation, Cheng Xiao realized that this was, after all, one of the calamities of the universe, and should not be allowed to run rampant.

The sudden unrest of the insect swarm has affected an innocent planet, and Cheng Xiao needs to clean up the mess.

"Please have the diviner prepare a starship for me, I'll take care of it."

"Okay, it'll be ready shortly."

"There's one more thing. While I'm away, I'll trouble Tai Bu to look after Bai Lu, or you can ask Kun Ling to take care of her."

Jing Tian patted his chest and assured him:

"Don't worry, I'm an expert in managing the Demon Orbs, and I guarantee that the White Dew Dragon Girl won't run around and cause trouble."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Bai Lu had already overheard everything during their conversation.

"Tch, Dad went out to play without taking us! I'm so sad. If we're kept in check by the Heavenly Diviner, it'll be incredibly boring!"

Bai Lu rolled her eyes and slightly curled the corners of her mouth.

"Anyway, Dad didn't say we couldn't come along, right? Hehe~ It's all Dad's fault for not taking me, so I'll figure something out myself!"

While pondering, Cheng Xiao called out "White Dew" to prepare for school.

"Here it comes~"

She still had to pretend to be a good girl in front of her father.

Soon, Cheng Xiao arrived at the port, where a military starship was already moored.

Jingtian introduced:

"This is a wartime transport starship with specially installed warp technology, which can help you reach your destination quickly. If you find anything special, the storage box at the back can also be used to temporarily store it."

Cheng Xiao nodded; that was enough.

"Okay, I'm going then."

Jingtian took out a talisman and handed it to Chengxiao.

"With this, I can use the cloud-viewing lens to accurately pinpoint your location and the view, ensuring that nothing goes wrong."

Thank you for your trouble.

Cheng Xiao took the talisman and drove the star raft away.

Just after arriving at the Jade Gate, the Star Chariot was enveloped in a blue light curtain. With a flash of light, the Star Chariot had already jumped away and disappeared.

When it reappeared, it was light-years away.

Cheng Xiao looked up and saw a swarm of insects migrating, their hoarse and shrill voices echoing across the sky.

The swarms of insects gathered together to form a unique biological environment, creating a medium in the vacuum of the universe.

Seemingly having discovered the suddenly appearing starship, the swarm of insects became even more agitated and pounced.

Compared to the swarms of insects that sweep across the universe like clouds, the starship is but a drop in the ocean.

Cheng Xiao remained unmoved, preparing to raise his hand and burn the insects to ashes.

"Wow! How spectacular! Daddy, Daddy, is this the Zerg swarm? It's so cool!"

Cheng Xiao immediately shivered and turned around in horror to look at the trunk.

Bai Lu was lying in it, talking excitedly.

"Bai Lu! What are you doing here?!"

Hearing Cheng Xiao's surprised voice, Bai Lu casually pulled herself out of the trunk.

"It's alright, Dad. We just came to cheer you on and broaden our horizons."

Cheng Xiao didn't care about any of that. He grabbed Bai Lu's face and pulled it outwards, making her cry out in pain.

"We were wrong, we were wrong, Father, please forgive us."

"Bai Lu, do you know how dangerous it is here? Children shouldn't take risks like this. Let's go back!"

"No! Father, please let me just watch from the sidelines, I promise I won't cause you any trouble. Besides, going back now would mean resetting the coordinates, hehe, that's too much trouble and inconvenient~"

Cheng Xiao couldn't persuade Bai Lu otherwise, so he fastened her seatbelt and told her not to run around.

"Mission accomplished!"

"Small in stature but big in wisdom."

After giving a reproachful look, Cheng Xiao instantly moved from the star raft to the outer starry sky.

[Snake]/[Rabbit], move in a blurred state.

The swarm of insects seemed endless, each with a ferocious appearance and exoskeleton; an ordinary person would die instantly if touched by one, making them extremely terrifying.

Cheng Xiao merely raised his hand, and all the insects stopped moving; time and space seemed to freeze at that moment.

[Chicken], all life here is controlled by his mental power.

Just when everyone thought it was over, the controlled True Insect began to split, and the newborn insects rushed towards Cheng Xiao once again.

There was no other way but to use his mental power again.

However, the already countless insects began to split, and their number doubled in an instant.

"That's interesting."

Cheng Xiao took out a small black ball from his robe and flicked his finger, shooting it into the swarm of insects.

[Rat], transforming stillness into movement.

The small black sphere transformed into a black hole, its collapsing and attracting forces seemingly endless.

Cheng Xiao then clasped his hands together, squeezing all the insect swarms into a space of mental energy, unable to break free, and could only watch as the black hole devoured the insect swarms, growing larger and larger.

In less than five minutes, the swarm of insects disappeared, leaving only a black hole the same size as the swarm.

A powerful devouring force swept through, and Cheng Xiao snapped his fingers, canceling the power of the [Rat]. The so-called black hole turned into a huge black glass sphere with the words "Black Hole" in white on it.

Cheng Xiao flashed back into the Star Chariot, with Bai Lu beside him, looking at him with admiration.

"Daddy, Daddy! You're so handsome! So amazing! All those bugs disappeared!"

Being stared at like that by his daughter, Cheng Xiao couldn't help but feel a little vain.

"Of course, Father, I have even more amazing skills."

"So, will we be able to be as capable as Father in the future?"

Cheng Xiao was both amused and exasperated.

"Little White Dew might still have a long way to go. Besides, with your reckless nature, it would be more practical to ask Aha for help."

"Sigh~ Lord Chang Letian would never be interested in me~"

Cheng Xiao laughed even more blatantly at the mask in his arms.

The swarm issue has been temporarily resolved, but the unrest seems far from over.

Somewhere in the universe, a white mecha figure stands silently.

"Why did the swarm suddenly emerge? Is something attracting them?"

......

Inside the Taibu Si, Jingtian, carrying desserts, knocked on Bailu's door.

"Little White Dew, I've brought you some delicious desserts."

The room was eerily quiet, and no one responded.

"White Dew?"

Jing Tian was a little puzzled. Why didn't Bai Lu react to the mention of food?

"Excuse me."

Jingtian pushed open the door and found the room empty; Bailu was nowhere to be seen.

Only the creaking, half-open window signaled her escape.

"No!!! I didn't keep an eye on her!"
