Chapter 567 — Fleecing the Four Holy Families

"That Azure Dragon even defeated Tian Yu, the strongest quasi-god of the Azure Dragon clan and eighth in the God-Sealing War, right? I get the feeling that this year, that beast Time Tan could actually achieve a decent result in the God-Sealing War."

"As long as he can use those Four Holy Beasts... he might truly be able to contend with those prodigies who've taken first place before... All we need to do is clean up after him."

"Yes..." Sky Emperor's mouth also twitched. He hadn't expected Time Ember to progress so quickly. Compared to Time Shuo, who had risen to become the Dragon God of Jie Wang Star and cultivated three quasi-god techniques in such a short time—already astonishing enough—Time Tan was even more absurd.

"Forget about him for now—how's the situation on Blue Star?" Lin Feng asked.

The Void Emperor said, "By now, Shi Yun should have fully undergone mythological revival, though the latest news has yet to arrive."

No sooner had the Void Emperor spoken than in the teleportation zone, his disciple Zi Lan—who used teleportation keystones to travel back and forth between Blue Star and the World King Star—flew toward the Lingxiao City divine hall with an anxious look on her face.

The Void Emperor frowned and gazed in a certain direction, murmuring, "What a coincidence—our communications envoy has arrived. But from the look of her, it seems what she brings back is not good news..."

"Hm?" Lin Feng also looked toward the direction from which Zi Lan was flying.

"Zi Lan, what happened?" The Void Emperor teleported the flying Zi Lan straight onto the divine hall. Panting, Zi Lan looked at the Void Emperor and Lin Feng and said, "Master, Lord Lin Feng, something terrible has happened."

"Something has gone wrong on Blue Star."

"Did Blue Star's revival fail?" Lin Feng asked.

"No, it succeeded. A month ago, Blue Star revived successfully, and over the past month it has been steadily recovering. Those demigods who had been stuck at the demigod bottleneck for hundreds or even thousands of years all broke through, and the deities of Blue Star's mythological age have all recovered to their peak strength."

"Isn't that good?" Lin Feng said.

"It would be, except that Blue Star's revival not only allowed the legendary demigods of the present era to break through and the deities of the mythological age to recover to their peak—it also awakened some invaders who have survived from the mythological age and were never completely wiped out!"

"Over the past half month, several god-level beings have mysteriously vanished, and in the end it was confirmed that they were devoured by a surviving starry void worm!"

"A starry void worm somehow managed to evade the great purge at the end of the Blue Star War and has survived to this day. This starry void worm is extremely powerful, reaching the realm of a mid-tier god. Besides the abilities of the starry insect race, it also commands the power of the abyss—it may have devoured abyssal invaders in its early years."

"The low-tier gods on Blue Star now are simply no match for it."

"Most importantly, this starry void worm is very cautious. It has hidden in the shadows all along, only ambushing and devouring god-level creatures without causing other destruction, and it is still evolving rapidly. At this rate, once it grows to the high-tier god level, Blue Star will be in danger."

Hearing Zi Lan's report, both the Void Emperor and Lin Feng wore grave expressions.

There was actually another starry void worm surviving on Blue Star?

"What about Lan Yanzhi? What about the World Tree? The low-tier gods left behind may not be its match, but surely there must be some way," Lin Feng said.

"Even if he hasn't recovered to his peak, dealing with a mid-tier god should be no problem."

Zi Lan said, "Lan Yanzhi cannot pinpoint its location either. He says the creature's abilities are very strange, similar to those of a cosmic behemoth. He says this starry void worm may have devoured not only the flesh and blood of abyssal clansmen but also the blood of the cosmic behemoths slain back then, learning their divine powers—it is very hard to find."

"Moreover, the planet's rules have only just been perfected. If Lan Yanzhi were to fight a mid-tier god at full force using the power of the world right now, the planet that has just recovered would likely immediately collapse back to its former state."

"What the hell—it devoured cosmic behemoths and abyssal clansmen too? A fusion of three races!" Lin Feng could not help saying.

"So now we can only come to you for help, Master. Blue Star currently has almost no means of countering this creature," Zi Lan said.

The Void Emperor and Lin Feng exchanged glances, both solemn. The crux was that for the moment they too were at a loss. Although Blue Star could now accommodate god-level beings, they simply could not get there.

At present, on the World King Star side, those able to travel to Blue Star were only Zi Lan, the Phoenix Man, the angel and demon races and the prodigies they had brought, as well as Shi Jin, the Dragon God, and the Gem Cat.

"Wait—you said just now that this starry void worm cultivates the power of the abyss?" the Void Emperor suddenly said.

"Yes, Master."

"Lin Feng, go find Shi Jin. Have Shi Jin make a trip back to Blue Star. This matter—he should be able to resolve it." The Void Emperor said, "We'll prepare some useful items for him."

"Uh." Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then quickly caught on. Right—if it were merely a mid-tier god, that kid Shi Jin certainly could not manage. At the god level, strength undergoes a qualitative change at every stage; even the champions of past Divine Sealing Wars, who challenged for a hundred years, never managed to defeat a mid-tier god across two tiers.

But if this mid-tier god was an abyssal lifeform, that was another matter entirely. Shi Jin had a contracted Purifying Star Spirit, and against the abyssal race, the Purifying Star Spirit's combat power had to be rated at least one tier higher—that was suppression. Add to that the Purifying Star Spirit's purification technique, which was a top-tier rule imbued with offensive attributes, and it had to be rated at least two tiers higher. With their preparations on top of that, a single cosmic abyssal void worm should not be able to stir up any trouble.

"I'll go find Shi Jin," Lin Feng said.

"W-wait?!" Zi Lan was dumbfounded, looking at the two lords. The opponent was a mid-tier god—and they were sending Shi Jin?
