Chapter 423: Getting Rich!
Hearing Su Mingyue’s unintentional words, Lin Zhen felt like he was suddenly enlightened.
Right! Who says the World Stone can only be a single stone?
Couldn’t it be a grain of sand?
If it is a grain of sand, indeed, it would be the best disguise. Trying to find one unique grain of sand in a desert area with a radius of hundreds of miles, it would be a difficult task.
But Lin Zhen has a method now.
Because he has the Dark Star World!
The World Stone is a real world, and the Dark Star World is also a real world. They are not dimensional universes or parallel universes. These two real worlds cannot coexist with each other!
Lin Zhen moves his feet back and forth, turning in circles on the spot, muttering to himself.
“I got it, as long as I absorb all the sand in the desert into the Dark Star World, there will eventually be a grain that I can’t take in, and that one will be the World Stone!”
Su Mingyue’s eyes followed Lin Zhen for two circles before she couldn’t hold it in anymore and said, “Lin Zhen, are you okay?”
Lin Zhen looked at his beautiful girlfriend in front of him and pulled her into his arms: “Thank you, Yue’er, you are truly my angel.”
“What did I say that you need to thank me so much? Uh…”
The next moment Su Mingyue’s small mouth was blocked by Lin Zhen’s, as his hot tongue slipped in, making her lose strength at once.
A passionate kiss lasted for ten minutes until the beauty in his arms had no more strength to resist him, only then did Lin Zhen let go of his hands.
“Do you need me to massage you? It shouldn’t hurt anymore, right?”
Su Mingyue weakly pushed away Lin Zhen’s big hand, “No need, someone might see us.”
“Alright, next time we’ll find a place where no one can see us.”
Lin Zhen smiled and thought for a while, “Yue’er, let’s get married, you and me, and An Ning, the three of us. Although it’s somewhat unfair to you guys, I really can’t let go of any of you, I… ”
“Don’t say sorry.”
Su Mingyue put her finger on Lin Zhen’s lips, “My hope is to accompany you forever because I know that you are destined to be extraordinary. Compared to the decades of ordinary couples’ lives, what’s wrong with me being able to accompany you forever?”
Lin Zhen nodded and decided in his heart that once things stabilized, he would choose to get married.
An Ning and Su Mingyue, two outstanding women are willing to marry him, he should give them a future too.
All personnel have been evacuated from the fourth level of the Ancient God City.
Alone, Lin Zhen sat in mid-air, adjusting his breath. He felt that he was in his best state.
“To find the World Stone, I must absorb all the sand in the area. Let’s start now.”
Lin Zhen took a deep breath, raised his hand, and emitted a gravitational force.
The gravitational force of the Primordial Era’s Dark Star was immense. As Lin Zhen lifted his hand, it was like a tornado descending from the sky!
Just like a whale sucking water, the yellow sand formed a sand column that shot up to the sky!
“Wind!”
With a thought, a fierce gale appeared along with the gravitational force. In an instant, the fourth level of the Ancient God City was filled with dust, yellow sand swirling, and a sandstorm emerged!
Huge amounts of sand were absorbed by the gravitational force and entered Lin Zhen’s Dark Star World.
In order to absorb the yellow sand, Lin Zhen had even deliberately reserved a piece of land in the Dark Star World to serve as its desert.
Starting from one corner, Lin Zhen began the lengthy absorption process.
Under the combined effect of the gale and gravity, the sand layer gradually thinned.
After about several minutes, the sand was completely absorbed in an area with a range of several tens of meters. The metal surface of the Red Rose spaceship was revealed.
Lin Zhen looked around. Yellow sand was everywhere, and there was still much work left to do.
“I need to exert more force. I can’t delay here too long.”
Lin Zhen raised another hand, and a second gravitational force was emitted.
Two columns of yellow sand intertwined in the air like two yellow dragons soaring upwards. At the center of Lin Zhen’s palm, a spatial crack emerged, and the yellow sand directly entered the Dark Star.
Using both hands simultaneously, his speed increased. Lin Zhen was like a flying machine, gliding slowly over the desert. The yellow sand rapidly decreased wherever he passed.
From morning to dusk, and from dusk to night, a new day began.
In one day’s time, after Lin Zhen’s hard work, one-tenth of the desert had been absorbed!
After a short break, Lin Zhen started his work on the second day.
“Like this, within ten days, I will definitely find the World Stone hidden in the desert!”
The events on Earth only caused some heat in Tianhe Empire but gradually faded away after a few days.
The people of the Empire had such rich leisure lives that countless major events happened in the vast Milky Way every day. After all, the matter of Earth was nothing more than a political change in a barren and backward place, not worth people’s continued attention.
As for those planets belonging to Lin Zhen’s territory, seeing that their lord could not even reach their territory to collect taxes through the dimensional universe, they were happy to be idle.
A lord who couldn’t even reach his own territory was not worth respecting.
Now, only the people of the Anderson family were still paying attention to Lin Zhen.
“Sir, we have checked most of the people, and they have nothing to do with the disappearance of the speed-of-light spaceship.”
“Are you sure you’ve checked them all?”
“We’ve checked them all. Actually, this matter is very easy to check. The people who knew about it basically died on Earth. When the young master went to Earth, the mission was not announced in the family. Even the people in the family didn’t know where he went. If it wasn’t for the problem on Earth, we wouldn’t even know where he went.”
“What about Lin Zhen? Have you checked him?” Old Anderson was a bit headache.
“We think Lin Zhen is not very suspicious. The location where the spaceship disappeared is too far from Earth, and he has been on Earth all the time without leaving, so we have not yet…”
“Don’t overlook any clues. It doesn’t matter that my son is dead, but the speed of light spaceship must not be lost. You can check Lin Zhen’s purchase records in the Dimensional Universe to see if he has bought a Trap Web, and his pirate subordinates, whether they stayed on Earth during the time of the accident.””
“Yes, sir, we were a bit careless. We’ll look into it now.””
The servant left, and Old Anderson slowly closed his eyes.
“Lin Zhen, I hope to God I don’t find out it was you, or else I have a thousand ways to make you disappear completely!”
“Only one last piece of the desert left, we’re gonna finish today!”
Looking at the remaining desert corner, Lin Zhen’s heart was throbbing with excitement.
He didn’t know if it was just his bad luck or if the World Stone was avoiding him, but after nine days of continuous work, he still hadn’t found it. However, if the World Stone was still on this fourth level, it wouldn’t be able to escape today.
Lin Zhen waved his hands, and gravity appeared once again. After nine days of hard work, he had become very familiar with the process.
Bit by bit, the yellow sand disappeared, and the desert continued to shrink….
By the time dusk arrived, the desert had shrunk to the size of a few square meters.
“It’s the last bit of sand. I need to slow down.””
Lin Zhen used only one hand to apply gravity, absorbing the yellow sand bit by bit.
One square meter…
Fifty square centimeters….
Thirty square centimeters….
Ten square centimeters….
One square centimeter….
At this point, Lin Zhen descended from the sky. Instead of using gravity again, he took out a metal box and placed the last dozen or so grains of sand in it.
He gently picked up a grain, scanned it with his mental power, and then put the sand away.
“This one isn’t it; there are fifteen left…”
“This one isn’t it either. Five left….”
When only two grains remained, Lin Zhen felt that one of them seemed a bit hard to grasp.
He used his spiritual power to pick up the other grain and confirmed that it wasn’t it.
At this point, there was only one grain of sand left in the entire desert.
It looked ordinary, and no different from the others, but in Lin Zhen’s eyes, it represented supreme wealth!
In the interstellar world, wealth often equals power, and can accomplish many things.
His spiritual power slowly seeped in, enveloping the metal box and the yellow sand, before finally, still unsure, he transformed the Light Annihilation into a protective shield.
Ensuring that it was foolproof, Lin Zhen reached out his hand again, preparing to grab the grain of sand!
“Swish!”
At this moment, the seemingly ordinary grain of sand attempted to break free and leave!
“Where do you think you’re going?”
With a move of Lin Zhen’s mind, the sky-blue spiritual power emerged, firmly locking it in place!
The metal box was shattered instantly. Lin Zhen could feel the immense power, the power of a small world!
The Light Annihilation shield was almost cracked by the grain of sand, but just as the sand was about to break free, Lin Zhen’s mind shifted.
Foldable Space!
Two strands of space power intertwined, and Lin Zhen immediately entered the extradimensional space!
The rampaging World Stone finally lost its momentum at this moment.
No matter how powerful it was, it couldn’t break through the Space Barrier to return to the world of the Ancient God City.
Lin Zhen took advantage of this opportunity to use his powerful spiritual power to completely expel the World Stone’s resistance.
The so-called resistance was a layer of protection around the World Stone, a faint halo, possibly left by its original owner.
No matter how powerful its original owner had been, they were dead now and couldn’t compare to Lin Zhen.
The sky-blue spiritual power was indeed unstoppable. After three attempts, the halo completely disappeared, and the World Stone calmed down.
Lin Zhen held his breath and slowly reached out his hand to grasp the grain of sand.
The Foldable Space disappeared, and he returned to the Ancient God City.
His spiritual power slowly penetrated the World Stone, which Lin Zhen had been looking forward to for a long time. He was even worried that after all this effort, there would only be trash inside the World Stone, and it would be ruined.
As his spiritual power entered, Lin Zhen saw a small mountain appear before his eyes….
Not a real mountain, but piles of green, all of it money!
Money from various Advanced Cosmic Nations, all of it money!
Lin Zhen could feel his eyes glowing, and he was certain they were glowing green.
Even the most calm person would be tempted by this scene. It was simply the most beautiful sight in the world!
He struck it rich!
He really struck it rich this time!
