The Only Player in ‘Child of Stardust’
Chapter 300 - 209: Turbulence

Chapter 300: Chapter 209: Turbulence

Boom!

The space around the Longevity Tree was permeated with an ancient and misty aura of time, as if the vicissitudes of history and the sediment of ages surging like a sea, vast and boundless, instantly submerged this area.

Everyone was shrouded in this misty fog of time.

"What’s going on?!"

"What’s happening?!"

Then, to everyone’s horror, they discovered that their bodies were undergoing strange changes.

Some people’s bodies shrank back to their childhood forms; some hunched over rapidly, becoming elderly with white hair; some seemed to have been given a booster shot and instantly grew to middle age; while many others turned into infants, unable to speak properly, only babbling.

"The body has shrunk, but the cultivation is still there. This phenomenon should be temporary."

Chu Tianxiao had turned into a middle school student-like child, holding up his oversized pants with one hand, while the Mountain River Cauldron hovered above his head, releasing strands of Xuanhuang Qi that protected his body. At the same time, the mouth of the cauldron glowed, swallowing large amounts of the time fog and storing it inside.

This was a rare divine artifact of time!

"Vvvmmm——"

The sound of a vacuum cleaner rang out, and they saw a child carved from jade holding a vacuum cleaner, dragging oversized clothes, frantically sucking up the time fog.

The vacuum cleaner was no ordinary object, with immense suction power. The time fog could be seen being violently stirred and sucked in, like a dragon inhaling water, clearing one area after another.

Chu Tianxiao thought the child looked familiar. After scrutinizing for a moment, he exclaimed, "Are you Zhou Yuan?"

"What’s up?" Zhou Yuan turned around. Under the influence of the time fog, he had become a toddler, but his combat strength was unaffected. If someone wanted to take advantage of this, he wouldn’t fear.

"Uh... nothing." Chu Tianxiao really wanted to say "brother, you look adorable," but that felt a bit too awkward, so he refrained.

Zhou Yuan ignored him and continued to use the vacuum cleaner to collect the time fog. He had been quick-witted and bought it from the game store.

[Name: Compression Vacuum]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: Compression. Compresses the absorbed material into a 10cm×10cm×10cm cube for easy storage and handling. The material that can be compressed includes but is not limited to: air, fog, dust, liquids, flesh debris...]

[Remark: See those meat cubes? Let’s play a human jigsaw puzzle!]

[Price: 3000 Star Coins]

The time mist was a good thing, with magical properties like accelerating the growth of herbs and slowing the decay of food.

He had to take advantage of this great opportunity to gather more; it was hard to encounter such treasures related to the attribute of time at other times.

The vacuum cleaner was quite large, and the dust collection box could hold up to twenty cubes. In no time, it was full. Zhou Yuan quickly opened it, stored the solidified time mist cubes into his backpack, and continued his high-powered suction.

"Freeze!"

Suddenly, Ye Youxian shouted, and the space shuddered with a buzz. Time symbols flew around, and then everything froze. Time stopped, like a paused movie.

Everyone’s bodies became immobile, as if turned to stone statues, but their consciousnesses were still operating clearly.

The pervasive time fog gradually receded, and in the distance, ten thousand rays of light erupted, with a rich life essence spreading out.

The Longevity Tree swayed, its blue and pink leaves rustling, green branches shimmering brightly, golden-red flower buds radiating vibrant energy, blooming with brilliant auspicious colors, emitting a refreshing fragrance.

The false historical projection froze, and the Longevity Tree materialized!

Ye Youxian’s face showed obvious fatigue. With a sweep of his sleeve, he collected the Longevity Tree into his sleeve and turned into a stream of light, flying away.

"..."

The time freeze field was lifted, and the people present regained their mobility, but they all fell silent, truly having their horizons broadened in various senses.

"Hey, are you Zhou Yuan?" A cold-faced young girl walked up, squatted down, and poked Zhou Yuan’s face curiously. Then she took out her phone and snapped a few photos.

"I’m going to post these in your fan group. They’ll go crazy when they see this." Yu Qingxuan said, "Can I hold you for a photo?"

"No." Zhou Yuan sternly refused, he still wanted to maintain his dignity.

The next second, a pair of hands reached out from behind and lifted him up.

"Whose child is this?" Chen Guangxi said.

She had not changed much. For the long-lived Dragon Clan, the time mist’s influence on the time span could be ignored.

"Oh, little brother, you’re so adorable." Chen Guangxi looked Zhou Yuan up and down, unconsciously licking her lips and showing a dragon-like cruel expression, "I feel an urge to eat you up in one bite."

"Although I’d quite like you to crush me, I must remind you that it’s illegal to hurt minors." Zhou Yuan said earnestly.

Chen Guangxi squinted her eyes. Suddenly, she revealed a bright yet slightly wicked smile, "As you wish, consider it... a reward for standing up for me."

Zhou Yuan instinctively felt a chill of fear. He wanted to escape but couldn’t, and could only dryly ask, "What do you mean...?"

"Crush you."

Chen Guangxi grinned with a menacing smile.

She carried Zhou Yuan and found an extraordinary person from Spark Technology, "Buddy, did you bring the Tiger-Style?"

The extraordinary person from Spark Technology was taken aback for a moment and nodded, "Brought one."

"Can I borrow it?" Chen Guangxi, holding the terrified Zhou Yuan, smiled brightly, "I want to crush him."

"..." The extraordinary person from Spark Technology opened his mouth, seemed to want to say something but stopped. He scratched his head, then found a lame excuse, "Sorry, I have a stomachache, gotta go." He turned and left immediately.
