Star Iron, conquer the world from Omphalos

The power of joy hides the core of abundance.

"Could this guy be the so-called "rich evildoer" of the Immortal Boat Alliance?"

Heita felt as if he understood everything.

The Xianzhou Alliance is a large and powerful organization. It is understandable that a normal person would want to hide from the star god who is destroying the power of abundance like crazy.

But she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

While he was thinking, the surge of the sand of life completely stopped.

At the same time, Ash also stopped practicing. He opened his eyes and saw the black tower walking towards him.

"That's pretty impressive! Half the planet is covered. Your power is almost reaching the level of a Commander, right?"

In response to Heita's question, Ash remained noncommittal.

He glanced at the mark on the back of his hand. It was almost reaching the fourth level. In terms of strength, it was still a little lower than the level of the Order Envoy, but the gap was not big. In addition, with the special nature of the power of the sun, some Order Envoys who were not good at fighting might not be able to suppress him.

"The gap between level three and level four is really big, but if I reach the fourth level of power, even if I officially step into the level of an Order Envoy, my combat power should be able to suppress those low-level Order Envoys." Ash thought secretly.

Make the gap between them even bigger.

This gap comes from the influence of the messenger itself, as well as the power of the star god and destiny.

After all, there are differences between star gods. Each destiny is different, and the power bestowed is also different, so the difference between the upper and lower is too great.

Some can easily ignite galaxies, while others require careful consideration before even making a star explode.

However, Ash's power comes from the old Dragon King, and his strength attribute is among the best in the same level. Once he truly steps into the fourth level of power, it should be no problem for him to defeat a prison scene at the beginning.

"Where is the star core? Did you absorb it all?" The Black Tower looked around but didn't see the star core.

"Gone."

Ash said.

The star core was indeed absorbed, but in fact a large part of the power was consumed by the power of joy, and a small part was scattered into the galaxy, and the rest was absorbed by him.

There's no way, my strength is not enough. Ash is already very satisfied to be able to achieve this.

"You're such a weirdo." Heita crossed his arms and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth: "Are you one of the fleeing people of abundance?"

"what?"

"The essence of your sand, the core of its power, is life itself. I couldn't see it before, but as your power increases, its source can no longer be hidden."

"Um..."

Looking at Heita's slightly smug expression, Ash nodded: "You guessed it after all."

Heita's smile froze.

He tutted in dissatisfaction.

She knew she was wrong.

"Just wait, I'll strip you naked sooner or later." Then, the Black Tower said, "I've been perfecting Oronis's existence lately, and through his simulations, I've gained some information about Fuli. Would you like to try contacting him? I mean, in the simulated universe."

Ash asked back, "So you want me to join the simulation?"

"To be honest, Omphalos's existence is indeed difficult to find. We can either capture an envoy from the Flowing Light Memory Court and ask him, or we can deduce it ourselves. But memories obscure information, and neither you nor I know what their purpose is. If we don't want to alert the enemy, we can only conduct simulations and deductions."

"But I'm not doing these things in Wuchang. I'm interested in Omphalos, and even more interested in you. I'd be looking forward to it if you could participate in the simulation. Of course, I'll also pay you the corresponding compensation. One hundred billion? Or one trillion? Or something else, it's all negotiable." Heita said bluntly.

She is not the kind of person who likes to beat around the bush. There is no need to hide what she wants to do. If it works, then it works. If it doesn't, then she will find another way.

"If I communicate with Oronis, can I get more information?" Ash asked.

"Theoretically, it's possible. You and 'He' both come from Omphalos, and we're connected by the thread of memory. If you still can't open the black box of Omphalos, I'll destroy the simulated universe."

"That's not necessary." Ash waved his hand. "I also want to talk to Oronis, but let's make it clear in advance that if anything happens after I go in, I'm not to blame."

Heita wondered, "What will happen?"

"Like... the simulated universe exploded again or something. Didn't it explode last time?"

Heita chuckled, "Don't worry. This time I've doubled the capacity, significantly improving the performance of the device. Furthermore, I didn't deliberately calculate your data. Last time was an accident, and there won't be a recurrence this time."

Last time, I wanted to calculate the data of the power of the sun and find its source, so I caused the simulated universe to explode.

This is just a normal simulation, not targeting Ash's secrets, so it's unlikely to go wrong.

"Okay, I agree."

"Well, then you name a price. I'll have Estelle prepare it in advance."

"unnecessary."

"what?"

"This is not your personal business." Ash shook his head. "We both need each other. As long as you can help me find Omphalos, that's all."

"Oh?" Heita crossed his arms, "I thought you would take advantage of the opportunity to ask for a huge price."

"You don't understand. This is called the emperor's broad mind..." Ash smiled faintly, "And I believe that some things cannot be exchanged for benefits."

"Heh~Okay, since you said that, if you are hunted by the Immortal Boat Alliance in the future, I can help you."

"Didn't you guess that I'm not a citizen of abundance?"

"But they are not as smart as this genius. Once they decide you are one, then you are the only one."

"That's really barbaric."

Ash said nonchalantly.

Xianzhou Alliance?

It's okay if I can't mess with him, but I really have to deal with him.

Then Ash wouldn't mind setting the starry sea on fire.

...

After absorbing the power of the star core, Ash and Black Tower returned to Beloberg to deal with the things that had accumulated during this period.

The cold wave receded, the life sand covered the earth, and the appearance of the entire Yalilo had changed substantially. It can be said that the planet was in ruins and the situation was much better than that of Omphalos.

So much so that Ash even wanted to move Shurima here to develop it, but before that he had to go back and find the people of Shurima. Shurima does not allow betrayal, and this applies to both its people and its king. Even the king cannot betray his people.

Therefore, there are two urgent things he needs to do - one is to find the specific location of Omphalos, and the other is to improve his strength.

As for the second point, Ash now has a bold idea.

Even if he wanted to go back to Omphalos and solve the problem, he would at least have to have the strength of an envoy.

In order to achieve this goal, he needs to absorb another star core. With just one more, he will definitely be able to step into the fourth level of power.

He tried to ask the Black Tower Space Station if they had any star cores left, but the latter rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think star cores are just carrots that you can buy whenever you want?"

Indeed, although star cores are called the cancer of all worlds, the Milky Way is so big that the probability of encountering one is still very low.

All Ash could think of now was the star cores on Rove and Pinoconi, but both places were not easy to get. The good news was that he knew the specific locations where the star cores would appear.

However, there are too many uncontrollable factors here, and Ash needs to think carefully about how to act.

Judging from the time, Luofu's star core explosion should not have started yet. Although the Star Train has left Yalilo, they themselves did not stay here for long. If it were in the game, the time it took for the train crew to resolve the Yalilo crisis plus the time they stayed here should not be too short.

To be more certain, he sent a message to Xing in the form of a greeting, and the latter said that they were stopping at another place to resupply, and she was not sure about the next destination.

Xing: "Wait a minute, I'll go find out."

About five minutes later, another message came.

Xing: "Uncle Yang said that the next stop is to go to Pinocchio for a banquet. How about it, do you want to come?"

Ash: "Never mind, I just wanted to make sure you guys left safely. I heard from Sanyueqi that the train's trajectory was blocked by the influence of the star core."

Xing: "That's all right now."

Ash: "Have fun."

Xing: "By the way, I exported the negatives of the photos I took at Beloberg on March 7th. I'll send you a copy too. picture.jpg*N"

In an instant, Ash's phone interface was flooded with various photos.

After the chat, he roughly determined the situation of the train set.

I remember that before going to Pinocchio, the train was visited by Kafka, and then because of the star core explosion, the train crew changed its itinerary.

"Forget it, let's talk about it then."

Glancing at the photos, it showed Xing, Sanyueqi and Danheng's trip to Beloberg, along with Bronya and Seele.

After storing the photos, Ash dealt with Beloberg's matter and then returned to the space station with Heita.

Before he even boarded the space station, he discovered that most of the area inside was pitch black, completely different from the last time he came.

"What else could it be? The system crashed." Heita spread his hands. "But fortunately, only the computing power area was paralyzed. Now, after replacing the equipment, most areas can operate normally."

If it weren't for the priority of rebuilding the simulated universe, the space station would have resumed operations long ago.

Poor Estelle has been busy rebuilding the space station all this time. First, there was the Antimatter Legion, then Ash's 'high-altitude drop', and then the simulated space explosion. The space station has been through many twists and turns.

But Heita doesn't care. In her words, the more rugged and bumpy the road to truth is, the more it shows that you are moving in the right direction.

"That's..."

On the way to the simulated universe room, Ash saw a mechanical head standing on the edge of the space station looking at the starry sky.

"Oh, Screw Gum, he's not from the space station. He's a member of the Genius Club like me... Just ignore his business and don't listen to his nonsense." Black Tower emphasized.

Because of the chain reaction caused by the space station explosion, ScrewGum is now staying here and won't leave. Black Tower is very unhappy about this, but there is nothing she can do. After all, she and ScrewGum are nominally partners in the simulation universe. Now that this thing has exploded, there is nothing he can do if he stays to investigate the situation.

As they talked, the two entered the room.

Heita opened the simulated universe and operated on the virtual keyboard.

"Let me check...Olonius's data is all normal. Okay, you can start anytime."

Ash nodded and walked into the blue light area released by the simulated universe. As the simulated world started, his mental power also entered the starry sky on the other side.

The soul drifts in the deep starry sky of the universe.

After an unknown amount of time, a familiar wave appeared in front of him.

You have met Oronis.

【The Time Titan invites you. 】

[He sensed a familiar aura from you...]

['Mother...' Oronis called softly, asking if you had met His mother.]

【1: We met and separated.】

[2: The universe is so vast that it cannot be contained in one pot. I have never encountered it.]

[3: Lost in thought... You might have done something inadvertently.]

"Strange, why does Oronis feel that there is a familiar aura on me?" Ash was a little confused.

[Black Tower: The simulation is based on real-world data. If you continue, you might discover something new.]

"Ah."

......

three days later.

Belloberg, inside Klipperberg.

Bronya was sitting in the palace dealing with the matters at hand.

The position of Grand Guardian is indeed not easy, not to mention that she was forced to take on the position. Fortunately, she has Cocolia guiding her from behind, otherwise she would really be busy and overwhelmed.

"Ah~"

The girl couldn't help but sigh at the headaches. If possible, she really wanted to leave the work to her mother and go to the front line to command the battle... But then again, the cold wave receded, the star core was also solved, and there was no so-called front line after the threat of the rift was gone.

At best, it was the Legion of Destruction monsters that were active here because the cold wave had disappeared. These guys attacked Yalilo when the disaster broke out hundreds of years ago. But then, due to the power of the star core, they were forever frozen in the earth. Unexpectedly, they were able to move again after the frost melted.

However, because the number was small, Bronya handed it over to Seele to deal with, but... Bronya picked up a document, on which was a question raised by an Iron Guard officer about Seele's command of the army.

"The fourth person has complained. Is Xier really not good at commanding battles? She's clearly so talented in combat."

Bronya was a little troubled after receiving four complaints in just one month. Her original intention was to train Seele to be a war commander with strategic vision, rather than a soldier who charged into battle.
