On the Eight Extremes Star, I awakened the twelve talismans.

Bai Xue was pulled to her feet by him, and followed him with light steps, showing none of the reserved demeanor she had shown just moments before when she felt she had nothing to repay him with.

Lingling sat on the chair, resting her chin on her hands, watching the two of them walk affectionately toward the bathroom.

His face was full of sorrow, and he muttered, "Alas, now that the new has replaced the old, my master has abandoned me. It's truly a cruel twist of fate."

"What a disappointment."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lingling was lightly flicked on the forehead.

She looked up and saw that Ye Han had returned sometime earlier and was looking down at her with a slightly amused and helpless expression: "Lingling, what are you saying here?"

Lingling quickly covered her forehead where she had been flicked, forcing a smile. "Uh, no, no! My brain just short-circuited. Forget I said anything. I'm sleepy, I'm going to bed now!"

"Goodnight, Master! Goodnight, Snow White!"

After saying that, she jumped up from the chair and ran back to her room in a flash.

Hearing the noise, Bai Xue, who was in the bathroom, called out, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'll be there soon."

......

a few days later.

The poisons and toxic fog on Tianxue Star have been cleaned up by the eight great demons, with only the source still being dealt with.

The long-awaited heavy snow began to fall again, with pure white snowflakes fluttering down from the pale blue sky, landing on the faces of every Snow Star person who looked up in awe.

They haven't seen snow for a very, very long time.

Many people spontaneously gathered in the city center square to celebrate this moment of national celebration.

The holiday arrived as scheduled.

The wrecked ship, trailing its signature black smoke, wobbled down from the sky, followed by hundreds of cargo ships, which came to a grand stop on the open ground outside Snowstorm City.

The supplies were delivered a few days earlier than agreed.

After Lingling inspected each item, there were no problems with the goods.

Energy equipment, communication equipment, and basic industrial production lines are all top-of-the-line military-grade products.

Furthermore, Sai Daxi also gifted several special energy stones, each the size of a fist, with a warm, milky-white glow on their surface.

Once extracted, this stone can continuously supply energy; a single stone can power the entire Snowstorm City for up to a century.

Ye Han originally only ordered one million units of goods, but Lingling used the money she made from speculating on information asymmetry to solve the immediate problem and added another one hundred million units of goods, stretching the list of supplies several times over.

From then on, the snow-covered city no longer had to worry about energy.

With these equipment and supplies, Tianxuexing will soon be able to rebuild a complete industrial system and regain its former glory.

Sai Daxi handed the last invoice to Ye Han, grinning, "Ye Han, if you need anything in the future, just let me know. I'll get right to it!"

"Alright, alright, hurry up and take your men back. Be careful on the way, don't get robbed," Ye Han replied.

"Don't worry, no one in the underworld or the legitimate world dares to touch me. I'm off! I'm going back to collecting junk!" Sai Daxi climbed onto the Junk Ship, followed by hundreds of cargo ships, which wobbled and rose into the air, leaving a trail of messy engine exhaust plumes as they disappeared into the white sky.

Bai Xue looked at the fleet and asked, "Ye Han, where did this robot named Sai Daxi get so many of them? Many of them are high-tech, something we didn't even have during the heyday of Tianxue Star."

Ye Han explained, "You don't know this. Don't let Sai Daxi's impetuous appearance fool you; it's not simple. The Cosmic Junk Company is now spread across dozens of star systems, and various forces have to give it some face."

"Most of those high-tech products are repaired and refurbished from the wreckage it salvaged from various battlefields, and their performance is no different from that of new ones."

"Really? Isn't it just an ordinary robot?"

Ye Han was about to reply when his gaze suddenly froze.

With super vision, it looked beyond the city towards a distant iceberg.

"What's wrong?" Bai Xue noticed the subtle change in his expression and asked.

"It's alright. I'll go check on the situation with the Eight Demons. Wait for me in the city for a bit, I'll be right back."

Before he finished speaking, he had already leaped into the air, his figure drawing an arc in the snowy light as he sped towards the mountains.

The voice came from afar: "Lingling, come with me."

"Okay."

Lingling responded and followed closely behind.

"Master, what's the matter that's so urgent?"

"The eight demons all died in an instant. Something's not right. Let's go check it out. There might be something wrong with that meteorite." Ye Han's expression became unusually serious.

Although the eight demons don't have a high potential, they are still combat units created by the combined power of the Rat Talisman and the Monkey Talisman, and each one of them can overwhelm most creatures.

The fact that all eight were wiped out at the same moment is definitely suspicious.

Not long after.

The two flew to the place where the eight demons had disappeared.

The scene before us was shocking. The original ice field was gone, replaced by a giant crater with a diameter of over 10,000 meters.

The surrounding ice was blasted into pieces, with cracks extending for tens of kilometers in all directions like a spider web.

The whole scene was not much different from the epicenter of a nuclear explosion.

"Lingling, do you have any way to get that footage?"

"Yes, we only need to collect residual energy information and environmental data from the site to perform a holographic retrospective reconstruction."

"Okay, let's get started."

Lingling quickly scanned the scene and collected data.

A moment later, she integrated and processed the collected information and projected a huge holographic image in the air.

The scene begins with a normal ice field fissure, where the eight demons have cleared away the surrounding poisonous fog and are preparing to go deep into the ice to deal with the last source of poison.

Just then, a dense, almost tangible black mist suddenly exploded from the depths of the rift, instantly engulfing the scene and obscuring everything.

When the black fog dissipated, all that remained was this massive crater, thousands of meters deep.

The remains of the eight demons were scattered at the bottom of the pit, blown to pieces.

"Master, look, there's a scene in this segment that's very short, fleeting."

Lingling replayed the scene frame by frame, freezing the last few frames before the explosion, then extracted a small section of the scene, enlarged it, and slowed it down.

The moment the black mist exploded, the outline of a person did indeed appear deep within the rift.

It flashed by so fast that it almost blended into the black mist, and could not be seen at all without frame-by-frame analysis.

Judging from its figure, it resembled a woman, with long hair reaching her waist in an extremely rare deep purple color, which swayed slightly in the black mist.

"A woman? Lingling, can you find information about this woman?"

Lingling shook her head: "No, the image is too blurry. It can only capture a little bit of the head outline and hair color. You can't see any facial or body features at all."

"However, I am certain that she flew away from Tianxue Star after emerging from below the rift."

Ye Han frowned as he stared at the blurry purple afterimage on the holographic screen.

After that person left, the rift stopped spewing out poisonous mist, and even the concentration of poisonous mist in the surrounding area began to decrease rapidly.

This shows that the root cause of the disaster that has plagued Tianxue Star for thirty years was not the meteorite, but this woman.

Everything that happened on Tianxue Star was caused by her.
