Stronger with Crimson Modifier

A faint smile played on the corners of his mouth.

'This is getting more and more interesting…'

As someone who had transmigrated from Blue Star, Hu Qi was not at all unfamiliar with Xu Shu's previous transformation and the moves he had used. In fact, he was all too familiar with them.

This kind of Super Saiyan Bloodline was nothing special in the Spirit Realm.

In fact, if the current Hu Qi wished, he could just as easily transform someone into a Super Saiyan.

For example, there was the Ultimate Infinite Qi Skill he had bestowed upon Zhao Ying.

For a True God, creating an Extraordinary System was astonishingly easy.

Therefore, more than how Xu Shu came to possess a Super Saiyan Bloodline, Hu Qi was curious about one thing: what kind of existence was the entity behind him?

How could it possibly know about Super Saiyans?

Could it be related to Blue Star in some way?

Come to think of it, this wasn't the first time he had encountered things related to Blue Star on his journey.

For example, there were some of the Dream Eyes in the Nightmare World from before.

The Yama's Token and Black and White Impermanence within them were all connected to Blue Star.

Originally, he thought it was just a coincidence.

After all, in the Great Thousand World, anything is possible.

But now, it was clear that was not the case.

Even something like Super Saiyans, a concept that should only exist in fiction, had now appeared.

He would never believe it had nothing to do with Blue Star.

Thus, his interest in the entity behind Xu Shu was piqued.

However, at present, it seemed impossible to rely on his own strength to obtain information about it.

He would have to find another way.

The reason he had spared Xu Shu was not because of some sudden burst of kindness, nor was it to honor a promise to let him live.

After all, while Hu Qi considered himself a decent person with his own moral code, that code was a flexible thing.

If he didn't act, that was one thing, but once he did, he rarely left survivors.

He had let him go because he had left something on him, hoping to glean some useful information.

Even if it didn't work out, it didn't matter.

It was just something he did on a whim.

Thinking of this, his gaze fell upon the green bookmark in his hand.

Light swirled across the bookmark, transforming into terrifyingly powerful Restrictions that enveloped it in layer after layer, like an intricate cocoon.

After doing all this, Hu Qi then put it away.

He would set aside the matter of crushing the bookmark for now and deal with it later.

Right now, the top priority was to complete the matter at hand.

To harvest this world's Dao Rhyme.

With a thought, ripples spread through the void.

The Mecha vanished from its spot, melting into the void like a drop of water into a still pond, and headed for Azure Flame Star.

The Eclipse Hermit already possessed the power to manipulate space.

The distance between Iron Rock Star and Azure Flame Star, though vast, was nothing under the Eclipse Hermit's Extreme Speed.

...

「Azure Flame Star.」

Among the twelve planets, its size only ranked in the top three—it wasn't the largest—but it was the most technologically advanced and orderly.

This was the true center of their world. From high above, the land resembled a giant circuit board. Neon lights and holographic advertisements flowed through the steel jungle like countless glowing blood vessels.

Hover-cars zipped past like meteors, following precise routes.

The crowds on the streets bustled like ants, their bodies occasionally shimmering with faint bioluminescence, as if they had merged with the city's very pulse.

And above the city, a ball of light hung in the sky.

That was the Saint Cross Hall.

It radiated a soft, holy light, like a great, unsetting sun, slowly flying along a specific trajectory and illuminating every corner of Azure Flame Star.

It was the existence of this light that gave Azure Flame Star its cycle of day and night, allowing plants to flourish and animals to thrive, creating a scene brimming with Vitality.

Compared to the bleak desolation of the other eleven planets—perennially engulfed in darkness and forced to subsist under artificial light—Azure Flame Star seemed extraordinarily normal, as if it had never been affected by the sun going out.

Although artificial light sources could replace the sun to a certain extent, there were ultimately differences.

For example, sunlight undergoes complex dynamic changes throughout the day due to factors like time, season, and weather, including aspects like light intensity, color temperature, and spectral composition.

While artificial light sources can simulate some preset changes via smart control systems, it is difficult to perfectly replicate the natural, complex, and real-time variations of sunlight.

For another example, sunlight contains invisible components like ultraviolet and infrared rays. A moderate amount of UV light helps the human body synthesize vitamin D, while infrared rays provide heat.

Artificial light sources typically need to be specially designed to emit UV and infrared rays of specific intensities and wavelengths, and even then, their properties and effects differ from those of natural sunlight.

But on Azure Flame Star, the light emanating from the Saint Cross Hall was just like that of a real sun.

The people of Azure Flame Star had long grown accustomed to the existence of the Saint Cross Hall.

However, a Mutation occurred today.

BOOM—!

A loud bang came from high in the sky, shattering the usual tranquility.

The Holy Hall, which had been hanging in the sky, suddenly dimmed, like a lightbulb that had lost power, its light extinguishing in an instant.

The entire world plunged into darkness, with only the multicolored neon lights of the city still flickering, providing a meager amount of illumination.

However, this was only the beginning.

The next second, the Holy Hall exploded, turning into a giant Fireball.
