Chapter 1586: Chapter 1147: How to Pay the Rescue Fee?

In that void space where the Great Speaker once ventured, the South Coronet knelt dejectedly behind the Star Progeny Master, with occasional small electric arcs flickering between them, a phenomenon arising as they communicated through telepathy.

Like the Undead, the Celestial Descendant Clan can also exchange information through thought, directly transferring memories and seen images, though their activity is much louder than the Undead.

The loudness indicates high consumption, so the Celestial Descendant Clan seldom uses it; however, the information South Coronet needed to report was so complex, and language wouldn’t suffice in a timely manner.

After reporting, the Star Progeny Master asked in confusion, "Who are they?"

"I don’t know. I encountered them at the transmutation hub while transferring the Body of Mourning. The Great Speaker of the Divine Light Alliance was with them. My Lord, the Divine Light Alliance has betrayed us." South Coronet said anxiously. After being with humans for a long time, he hadn’t learned much else, but he had mastered the skill of emphasizing the main points.

"The disappearance of the North Corona and the World-Ending Magic Formation, were they also behind those?" It’s hard not to make such an association.

"Definitely. Without the Great Speaker, they couldn’t have known the precise location of the transmutation hub, ambushing me there. They even have at least three Star Gods. Even if they seized one from North Corona, where did the other two come from?" South Coronet responded.

The Star Progeny Master nodded: "I know who it is. You were careless, wasted a Mourning Bone Dragon, now face your punishment."

With that, he waved his hand.

South Coronet inwardly lamented. To his chagrin, he couldn’t shirk his responsibility even with the situation being like this. The Master is truly impartial in rewards and punishments. He could only brace himself and close his eyes.

It felt as if an invisible hand smacked him, sending him flying away.

Almost fell apart, South Coronet healed his injuries and floated back, curiously asking: "Master, who exactly is messing with us?"

The Star Progeny Master pondered for a moment, then turned to say: "Do you know what a Celestial Descendant implies?"

South Coronet nodded: "The children of a God Star."

"So what is a God Star?" The Star Progeny Master asked.

"Isn’t it you? You are the God Star." South Coronet said in astonishment.

"Nonsense, I look just like you, how could you be my child?" The Star Progeny Master said.

"Ah? Isn’t it normal to look alike? Those human descendants look just like their ancestors." South Coronet was even more astonished. Why is the Master’s statement different from his understanding?

"...You’ve been polluted by humans, comparing us to these backward creatures who can only reproduce through external union? They resemble each other because they’re afraid of misidentification." The Star Progeny Master said helplessly. Although mental telepathy can transmit knowledge and memories, it cannot pass on concepts and cognition. He didn’t expect his own kind’s understanding to become so skewed.

"But..." South Coronet muttered in his heart: You kept so many backward creatures? Didn’t you say their strong minds and rich thoughts make them the best seeds of consciousness?

However, he dared not speak it aloud. From his time with humans, he had learned not to contradict the leaders, as it’s their responsibility when they speak wrongly, but if you contradict their words, it means you bear the responsibility for your own words.

Seeing South Coronet had no odd retorts, the Star Progeny Master continued: "You know the Ancient Godlight, right? It’s a God Star, and the Boundless Space Hole is used to imprison it."

"What? The Ancient Godlight is the God Star? Then are we its descendants?" South Coronet was shocked.

The Star Progeny Master said: "No, I am just a prison guard for the Boundless Space Hole."

South Coronet’s eyes widened in disbelief, his inner world shattered, the invincible Master he believed was merely a prison guard for the Boundless Space Hole?

"Now do you know who’s targeting us?" The Star Progeny Master asked.

South Coronet was still digesting internally, unable to process, reflexively asking: "Who? Who’s targeting us?"

"The God Star, fool." The Star Progeny Master, though without a brain, vaguely felt a headache coming on. Was his kind truly so foolish?

South Coronet blinked, tentatively saying: "The Ancient Godlight?"

"No, another world’s God Star, in this direction. I don’t know its name, but humans call it Gemez Fortress. When its spectrum is converted to sound, it makes this pronunciation. That’s fine; let’s call it Gemez Fortress." The Star Progeny Master said.

"An... another world’s God Star? Are there many God Stars?" South Coronet asked. A single Ancient Godlight requires the Boundless Space Hole for imprisonment, and there’s another God Star? How many of such powerful beings are there?

"No, very few. Not only are there few God Stars, but even those qualified to become one are scarce. In my knowledge, I’ve only seen three God Stars." The Star Progeny Master said.

"The Ancient Godlight, Gemez Fortress, then the third must be our God Star, right? Where is our God Star?" South Coronet suddenly had a bad premonition.

"You’ve seen it, it’s in the Dimensional World." The Star Progeny Master said.

Indeed, it’s it. South Coronet’s heart trembled. In their Dimensional Space cultivating the Mourning Undead Soldiers, there is a giant Sun, but compared to the current Sun causing the Light Disaster, it’s significantly dimmer, like an elderly Sun.

South Coronet thought it was just an elderly Sun, sealed in the Dimensional Space by the Star Progeny Master to provide them energy, unexpectedly, it turned out to be their God Star? Were he and the Star Progeny Master its descendants?

"But... but... is it dead?" South Coronet hesitantly asked. In the Dimensional Space for so long, he never sensed the will of the God Star, assuming it was just a Sun without consciousness. Could it be a God Star?

The Star Progeny Master leisurely said: "If I said I imprisoned it, what would you think?"

...

Through countless hardships, the Great Speaker finally found a plane with a Teleportation Array to return, only to see Table Mountain collapsed, feeling like crying but without tears: "You really are the death of me."

"Watch what you say. What do you mean, we’re the death of you? Wasn’t it you who couldn’t defeat us, captured and tortured into leading us to the transmutation hub? Tell that to South Coronet, see if he believes you." Anthony replied.

Everyone knows such excuses wouldn’t deceive anyone; he initially entertained such an idea just to fool himself, to find an out. There’s no way he’d dare use it to dupe South Coronet and the Star Progeny Master, it seems rebellion is the only way out.

"Fine, let’s not argue further. Let my people return." The Great Speaker conceded.

Anthony suddenly smiled, displaying a kindly expression, then stepped aside to allow a Goblin to step forward, its face bearing the same kind smile: "I wonder how the Great Speaker intends to pay the rescue fee?"
