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

In the year 7010 of the Stellar Calendar, objects called star nuclei suddenly appeared in various parts of the universe.

Today's Star Peace Corporation News Brief:

[Dear friends who have joined the interstellar trade system, greetings! This news broadcast mainly informs you of important matters concerning star cores.]

According to a research report by the Erudite Society, this mysterious object is extremely dangerous and indestructible! Currently known methods are incapable of destroying it!

The star's core emits a golden glow, capable of interfering with the flow of imaginary energy and corrupting different worlds with its corrosive and diffusive properties! This substance can continuously multiply and spread! It has already infected and destroyed many interstellar routes.

[This substance also exhibits different properties and has a very high energy level, possibly possessing self-awareness. The Bo Shi Society is still exploring its research.]

Because of its cancer-like characteristics, we currently call it the "Cancer of All Worlds."

Please remember, if you encounter any stellar core-like substances, please move away as soon as possible and report it to the Market Development Department of Interstellar Peace Company. We will provide assistance immediately. Thank you!

A hissing sound came from the jade pendant; that concluded today's company news.

Cheng Xiao, who had just returned to Luofu not long ago, was also studying the star core.

Its essence originates from [harmony], which these people are not interested in.

What he wanted to explore was where the limits of the star core lay.

The small notebook next to him contained various research records. Cheng Xiao had already conducted many other studies, each of which was a creative discovery!

At this moment, the star core from Belloborg was somewhat weak, and the golden light around it had dimmed, as if it might go out at any moment.

Because it has almost been drained dry by the [Dragon] talisman.

The star core began to tremble, and its voice appeared in Cheng Xiao's mind.

"You...you're dishonest...we clearly made a deal..."

Cheng Xiao immediately bowed in a Jackie Chan-style manner and apologized, "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have lied to you!"

Star Core was stunned by Cheng Xiao's grand gesture, followed by excited anger.

"I'm sorry... I'm useless! Send me to... an unclaimed planet..."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiao's attitude immediately turned arrogant again.

"I am a noble celestial being! And a righteous mage! As everyone knows, I am not one to keep my word!"

The Star Core was in despair; it had truly met its doom by encountering this kind of person.

The appearance of a stellar core in the universe will take some time to fully develop, but the dangers of stellar cores have already begun to emerge.

If not handled properly, it will slowly tear the interconnected world apart again.

Currently, the star core can only be sealed, not destroyed, but Cheng Xiao can absorb it using a dragon.

This star core is a great tonic for talismans, and now the upper limit of each talisman has increased again. Cheng Xiao has even begun to understand the rules within the talismans.

He began to learn to turn the rules into instinct, to understand and feel them, just like the cultivation of immortality in novels!

The [Ox] talisman is like the law of power, one force can break all laws, but it is not that exaggerated at present. However, Cheng Xiao can feel this rule!

Maybe one day it will really come true. Then, according to the rules of the Star Iron Universe, wouldn't the twelve talismans represent twelve paths?

Cheng Xiao frantically took notes, recording every single spark of inspiration.

For example, the current "snake" talisman is no longer simply about making someone invisible, but about reducing or even completely eliminating their presence!

Just like Cheng Xiao actually always carried the [Broken Light] sword on his body, but no one ever noticed because the sword's shape and presence were completely hidden.

When it really comes to a fight, he can outmaneuver anyone.

Crunch!

The door opened, and Danfeng walked in curiously.

This was the first time she had entered Cheng Xiao's room. Although she entered without knocking, the noble Dragon Lord did not need to consider such formalities.

"Cheng Xiao! What are you doing?"

"Studying star nuclei."

"Oh, I see. What? Researching stellar cores?"

Danfeng hurriedly ran over to look curiously, and sure enough, he saw a golden ball of light.

"Tch~ Looks so weak."

Danfeng crossed his arms, his face full of disdain.

"Haha, don't underestimate it. If given time to develop, it can still cause a lot of trouble."

Danfeng snorted coldly: "This kind of substance is nothing more than a wild beast that grows rampant! Apart from its assimilative and corrosive properties, it cannot evolve in essence. It is more like a seed that some being has scattered in the universe."

"A very interesting angle."

"Hmph! I've been browsing the clan's library since I was a child! I'm not comparable to that half-baked Jingliu!"

"I wonder who taught Jingliu his knowledge. He seems to speak in a refined and scholarly manner, but in reality, he is completely a swordsman at heart, without a trace of the integrity of a scholar!"

"Um... I taught him."

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. The teacher has been very good. It seems that Kagami-ryu was never meant to study literature!"

Cheng Xiao smiled helplessly and asked curiously:

"You and the general have meetings every day, but have you achieved any results?"

Danfeng's expression turned serious: "The situation is not optimistic! The Yaoqing Immortal Ship has already clashed head-on with a group of Fengrao people multiple times! Recently, the Fengrao people have become increasingly active!"

"Therefore, General Teng Xiao, following instructions from Zhu Ming and the Jade Palace Immortal Ship, is preparing to accelerate his rendezvous with Yao Qing!"

Cheng Xiao flipped through the calendar, and a sense of tension unconsciously crept into his heart.

"These are turbulent times; it seems we'll be busy for the next one or two hundred years."

"It's alright, I will personally go to the front lines! You'd better watch my heroic battle then!"

"Alright, then let me see what you've got!"
