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

Two days later, the Eternal departed from the Eight Extremes Star.

Bai Xue will stay here to continue learning the Eight Extremes Heaven. Ye Han will come back to pick her up after she has mastered it all.

Cultivating in the Eight Extremes Heaven is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Explosive Foot and Sky Chasing are just the beginning. There are still Thousand Layer Grinding, Blood Robe, Flowing Shadow, Berserk Transformation, as well as Instant Flash and Heaven Collapse.

Master Ma needs enough time to hone her skills from the basics to mastery, and she herself is prepared to settle down and practice diligently.

It will take at least a year.

Ye Han has already made his next plan.

The primary task is energy points.

After the talisman is upgraded, the progress bar system requires too many energy points.

A complete talisman requires at least several hundred energy points to go from zero to full progress, and twelve talismans together require an astronomical number.

In the past, during the fragmented era, accumulating a few dozen points was enough; now, throwing a few dozen points into the roulette wheel won't even produce a sound.

We need to search for energy points throughout the universe as soon as possible, and Storm Famila, which will occur in a little over a month, will be an excellent opportunity.

Jupiter is home to the universe's top fighters, free agents, and various forces. Such a grand event would inevitably involve a large number of high-energy targets, and sweeping up just a few would bring in a considerable sum of money.

After Storm Famila, Ye Han also wanted to make some preparations before heading to Devil's Footprint.

The Devil's Footprints is such a dangerous place, but the harvest might be even greater; as the saying goes, the bigger the storm, the more valuable the fish.

And beyond the end of the devil's footprints lies the legendary Rainbow Sea.

Legend has it that it is a place where wishes can be granted, with rainbow stones everywhere. Each rainbow stone is an energy point, and for Ye Han, they are all energy points.

Dia, who had appeared beside him at some point, asked, "Ye Han, are you really prepared to enter the Devil's Footprint?"

"Yes, I want to see the most dangerous place in the universe." Ye Han leaned back in his seat and turned to look at Dia:

"Dia, didn't you want to see the snow meteor? And while you're at it, bring back the Star Society members who followed Merlin into the Devil's Footprint. That coincides with my idea."

The Star Society was a key force in the large group that followed Merlin to the Rainbow Sea back then.

They deployed the most advanced scientific research fleet of the time, equipped with the most sophisticated star mapping equipment and the most complete deep space exploration data, to join Merlin's expedition.

The entire universe believed that the team was going to make history, and they did indeed make history.

But since then, no ship has ever flown out of the devil's footprints.

This event became a turning point in the rise and fall of the Star Society. Having lost its core scientific research capabilities, the Star Society was severely weakened and never regained its former glory.

A few years later, the massacre by Kratt completely razed this once glorious academic institution to the ground.

Dia took out the golden Rubik's Cube and held it in her hand: "That's absolutely right. My grandfather always had a saying on his lips: The reason why the starry sky is beautiful is that in the infinite universe, no matter how dark it is, there is always the light of the stars to illuminate it. The world is the same; where there is despair, there will be hope."

"Ever since the Star Society was destroyed by Kra, I've had this idea: to bring back the Star Society members who entered the Devil's Footprint. I've also heard that you can make a wish on the Snow Meteor in the Rainbow Sea. I want to bring back all the people who were hurt by the Galaxy Eye."

"But you've already helped me so much—helped me escape the Galaxy Eyes' wanted list, let me stay on the spaceship, and even helped the Bakery Circus. If I ask you to come with me to Devil's Footprints, wouldn't that be too ungrateful?"

By the end, Dia's tone carried a hint of self-deprecation.

"Don't worry about all that, just do what you want to do. Don't forget, we're partners."

"Um."

During its subsequent journey, Eternity made several space jumps, traversing millions of light-years and entering a completely new galaxy.

This galaxy is marked very simply on the star map, clearly belonging to a remote region of the universe that has not yet been fully explored.

Ye Han kept his detection capabilities active, and the Eternal would only dock when it confirmed that there were energy points on each planet it passed by.

When you encounter a bright green planet, a clear energy point marker pops up on the panel.

Ye Han immediately ordered the Eternal to dock in space and set off with Lingling.

For unfamiliar planets, we still need to rely on Lingling to scan them and understand the basic situation of the planet in advance, which can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Lingling, scan this planet for information."

Lingling's eyes lit up with green light as she scanned the emerald planet from all angles. After a while, she said, "Master, this planet is called Mengmeng Star. Its technology is backward. It has never had contact with the outside world and is completely isolated. They don't even know that other intelligent civilizations exist in the universe."

"DreamStar is very interesting. Many kinds of creatures live on it and have been domesticated by the local humans as pets and companions. Humans can also compete against each other."

Lingling said with some regret, "They have a flaw: these creatures cannot leave Mengmeng Star. Once they leave the planet's unique magnetic field and environment, their bodily functions will rapidly decline in a short period of time, and there have been no exceptions so far."

Ye Han didn't care about that. His purpose in coming here was very clear: to collect energy points and then leave.

Even if those little guys are cute, they're not so cute that you can't tear yourself away.

Let's finish this quickly and move on to the next one; there are still many planets to explore.

"By the way, Lingling, I've noticed you've been holed up in the Eternal these past few days. Is something wrong with your health? Should I fix you up?"

Lingling is, after all, a creation of the Rat Talisman. Although it looks no different from an ordinary robot, it is quite different in essence.

Ye Han wouldn't usually pay special attention to her, but things have been different these past few days.

Lingling seemed completely absorbed in her own world, almost oblivious to everything else.

"No, no, I'm perfectly fine!" Lingling looked at Ye Han proudly upon hearing this, "Master, you have no idea what I've been busy with these past few days. You'll be very surprised when I tell you..."

"Alright, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me."

Lingling recounted everything about the Divine Realm in one breath, radiating pride.

This holographic game has achieved unprecedented popularity, earning 26 trillion yen so far.

All the income went into Ye Han's account.

After listening, Ye Han suddenly remembered something.

That night, after Bai Xue rested, he checked the messages sent by Chang'e and inadvertently saw the overwhelming advertisements for "God Realm".

Ye Han didn't look closely at the time, only glanced at the trending topic, and thought it was some big company releasing a new game, so he didn't pay much attention.

"So it was your work. Well done. I'll try it myself next time I have the chance," Ye Han said approvingly, looking at Lingling's proud little face.

"Really? Master, you can't go back on your word!" She held up her little finger in front of Ye Han: "It's a promise, pinky swear!"
