Chapter 857 - 41: What Did the Falling Star Become…Again?

Sponsored

The meteor descends from the heavens!

Carrying with it an immense power, its strength is beyond imagination. If purely for destructive power, its might is undoubtedly earth-shattering.

The massive meteor can pierce through the ocean or the continental crust, leading to volcanic eruptions and other chains of reactions. Once, a mere ten-kilometer-wide meteor directly ended the era of dinosaurs, those gigantic reptiles that ruled Earth for 160 million years, regrettably retreating from the environment.

Of course, this isn’t simply for destruction.

Like the Boundary Land, this eerie place, where anomalies from the Star Sea arrive with meteors and meteor showers, as if it’s become some customary convention.

Alien beings from the starry sky...

Ferocious beasts transformed from fallen stars...

These entities might not be common on this vast land, but they’re certainly not rare occurrences. So this time, this meteor is just following the local customs, declaring its arrival openly as a formal challenge.

The meteor falling through the atmosphere, burning brilliantly, its true face hidden but still majestic and breathtaking.

Amidst the astonished or fearful gazes of countless individuals, the enormous meteor swept low across the firmament, disappearing at the horizon’s edge in the blink of an eye, creating a shockwave that swept everything around it, lifting the ground where it passed.

It left a path on the earth as if plowed by flames, straight as an arrow pointing towards the edge of the land.

It was like a burning Sun descending from the heavens, falling to the earth...

Finally vanishing...

No, it didn’t vanish—

But crashed somewhere far away on the earth, even from a great distance, people could only feel the ground underfoot tremble slightly, yet the column of clouds rising tens of thousands of meters into the sky could be seen clearly.

During this upheaval, the ominous giant full moon of white, in the cold night sky, quietly overlooks the land ruled by the Golden Tree...

Like the Eye of God in the void, gazing from the heavens at the ripples in the river of fate.

...

...

In the gusty wind, clothes and long hair fluttering wildly.

Gu Mo gazed at the commotion caused by the meteor falling in the distance, smiled slightly, and looked up at the sky.

Through the connection of the Golden Tree, he could vaguely sense in the depths of the distant void, a pure and exceptionally powerful will. It should be the ancient existence maintaining a winning streak on the chessboard of this Boundary Land, known as the "Supreme Will."

Indeed, a strong presence...

Seems so from the feeling, but there’s no problem at all.

Gu Mo didn’t feel too pressured; he just faintly sensed across the void, without exposing his existence, and the commotion caused by the meteor didn’t attract the Supreme Will’s attention—not even a glance.

Hmm...

Seems quite reasonable since the Boundary Land isn’t lacking such occurrences.

If not for a mad demigod, subconsciously following instinct amidst madness, using Gravity Magic to seal the skies, suppressing Stellaris, preventing meteors from troubling the Boundary Land, who knows how many meteors and meteor showers would strike this land daily.

Though the meteor phenomenon summoned by him had not appeared for quite some time to the creatures of the Boundary Land...

In the long ages, this phenomenon has been undeniably common, so much so that the creatures of the Boundary Land themselves are used to it. Naturally, the Supreme Will pays even less attention to such trivial matters, not everything requires its concern.

Moreover...

This Supreme Will’s pasture likely isn’t only here in the Boundary Land.

In recent years, the pasture in the Boundary Land has apparently fallen into visible decline. Because in past eras, the Golden Tree was once abundant and prosperous, but that’s a thing of the past──

Despite diminishing each year, poor yield year after year, this supreme existence hasn’t seen taking any specific measures, offering new governance strategies, but instead letting it deteriorate, indifferent...so it’s likely that this proves the decline in the importance level of this pasture in its eyes.

If one only had a single basket for eggs, a normal person would pay more attention.

Gu Mo nodded thoughtfully, believing that’s likely the case. If the Supreme Will had been watching, it wouldn’t have allowed the Eternal Queen Marika to shatter the Elden Ring and then hang Marika for torment afterward, instead of stopping it before or during the event...

So this hypothesis is probably not problematic.

Then it’s just right, although he doesn’t mind a tough battle—

But ultimately, it belongs to the category of playing on a foreign field, having some development time would naturally be best.

Just like how the Elden Beast accompanied by the Golden Meteor was sent to the Boundary Land by the Supreme Will, the meteorite that Gu Mo just summoned is not merely for show... Through the step of the meteorite piercing through the earth’s crust, the things he airdropped have already entered the Boundary Land.

Speaking of which, Gu Mo originally intended to deploy the Seed of the World Tree, to compete openly with the Golden Tree on the opposite side using the tree species he cultivated. To form a Key Stone that filters out Anomaly Zone phenomena, initialize the planet, create a new mythology, and invade the current correct reality.

Just later, after thinking it over, he dismissed this idea...

The first reason is that drawing Magic Power from the Earth Vein to grow and sprout requires a period of ninety days, which is a hard requirement. Even though he has further genetically modified and designed the evolution, the new tree species, designed as the pinnacle divinity of his life system, possess better performance.

However, the sprouting period has remained unchanged.

It’s not that he can’t change it, but within the limited gene modification Points, certain choices have to be made, it’s impossible to choose all... Though not entirely impossible, just improve the Quality of the tree species, make them larger in capacity, unlimited in potential, naturally allowing for a grander and more complete life blueprint.

However, doing so would lose the cost-effectiveness, as manufacturing requires more payment...

The current design is a balance he found after much exploration, and he doesn’t plan on changing it, thinking rather than specifically launching a new model for this world, it would be better to directly change the scheme... Moreover, filtering the attack mode of the Anomaly Zone doesn’t necessarily have any advantage.

Just like in the Fate Dungeon World, there is no shortage of Kings of the Strange Realm opposed to the Imaginary Tree.

There has been a precedent, this world is also filled with a history of struggles among an unruly bunch, nobody obeys anyone, the era of the Golden Law has continued to today, and there is still resistance... Creating an Anomaly Zone himself, it’s likely that this "IF" line’s historical trend wouldn’t align with his own intentions.

Gu Mo is very familiar and even very skilled at this.

After all, he had borrowed the Imaginary Tree from the Alien God, then turned on her, even pondering how to trap her... Drawing from his own practical experience, he feels he has a say in the matter, thus considering these factors, he passed on using the Seed of the World Tree scheme.

Contentedly sending a command through Spiritual Will, he glanced at the bright moon in the sky once more, then stretched lazily, turned around.

In utter silence, his figure vanished directly into the air.

...

...

The full moon hung high, eternal night descended.

The entire Boundary Land feels as if dragged into a dream of nothingness, so unreal.

Faced with such anomalies, different existences, different races, different living beings, have different reactions and attitudes. There are those who fear, those who are skeptical, those who resist... Yet in this sorrowful failing era, even the Golden Law has become powerless, unable to do much more.

"King of Origin" Gefurei was exiled...

"Gold" Gedwin died on the night of the Black Blade conspiracy...

"Eternal Queen" Marika was imprisoned for breaking the Magic Ring...

After the Shattered War, other demigods were either missing or driven mad. Now the entire Boundary Land is displaying chaotic scenes, the collapse of Blessings, the fragmented reality. All of this seems to be inevitably heading towards a decadent end.

The final landing position of the meteorite was on a land called Nimgruf, near the edge of the Southern Sea.

It directly crushed through a large expanse of plain, ruthlessly piercing through the crust, finally disappearing completely into the boundless, deep subterranean darkness.

It’s hard to imagine that a meteorite causing such massive destruction didn’t trigger an extinction-level disaster beyond imagination, as even the nearby ecosystem wasn’t wiped out, seeming as if the shockwave didn’t exist... Yet it has clearly pierced countless kilometers of crust, seemingly reaching below the abyssal depths.

The reason for all this is because the mastermind behind it didn’t intend to overturn the chessboard.

Moreover, the reason it seemingly pierced through such deep crust at one go is largely because beneath it, underground, there already existed an underground world filled with vast unknown caverns and spaces.

At this moment, in the deepest part of the boundless, deep giant pit, within the dark underground world where luminous plants and dark rivers twinkle together, at the end of the deeply pierced and dragged landscape, the true face of the meteorite emerges.

Towering like a small mountain, presenting a deep silver shell, streamlined long cone design.

A gigantic starship—

Directly deeply embedded into the underground depths.

Indeed, the true face of the massive meteorite is not some meteorite, comet, or asteroid... but a spacecraft for interstellar travel, crashing directly onto the ground in a manner akin to a wreck.

Only with friction against the atmosphere, intensely burning and glowing, its specific true appearance was completely obscured, besides, the exterior features advanced anti-detection technology, illusionary particles diffuse like gel adhered to the ship’s surface, this type of coating forms virtual camouflage, effectively isolating multiple detection methods.

——Of course, even if the true appearance was indeed detected...

——In this world, it probably wouldn’t pose much of an issue.
