Chapter 354 The "Angler" Sitting on the Star (4K)
On the deck of the Tomorrow, Li Ye and Lin Xia were taking a walk and chatting.

"Thanks to the hard work and cooperation of everyone in the city neighborhood committee, Tomorrow Ship has remained very stable. You don't need to worry too much; just focus on what you're doing," Lin Xia said softly.

Li Ye nodded slightly.

Although they have confirmed their relationship, they are both very busy.

After all, one of them was a core member of the city's neighborhood committee management team, and the other was the commander of Tomorrow, and indeed the entire Tomorrow Alliance.

As she walked, Lin Xia suddenly stopped, a hint of worry appearing in her bright and lively eyes.

"So, the final battle is about to begin?" she said softly.

Li Ye nodded slowly.

The Tomorrow Alliance will absolutely have to participate in this battle that will determine the future of Weilan Star.

"Don't worry, our journey will definitely not end here; it has a very long way to go," he said.

Lin Xia was slightly taken aback, then nodded gently.

"Ah."

As Li Ye prepared to return to his room to rest, Novi's image suddenly appeared before his eyes.

"Master, the latest news from the K8 planetary cluster is that they have discovered a fisherman on a nearby star."

"Huh? What did you say?"

Li Ye was momentarily stunned.

Stars, angler.

He never imagined that the two things could be connected.

"let me see."

Novi then shared the image of the star discovered in the K8 planetary cluster.

It was a blue supernova star.

Its size is so enormous it's suffocating, with a diameter dozens of times that of the sun. In stark contrast to this colossal form is its extremely low density; the matter on the planet is so thin due to the immense radiation pressure.

It emits a dazzling blue-white light, and its surface temperature is several times that of the sun.

The spectacular sight of the stars momentarily stunned Li Ye.

Novi offered a reminder.

"Master, the K8 planetary cluster is currently on high alert."

".Why?"

"Because of that angler on the star."

Upon closer inspection, Li Ye discovered that there was indeed a "person" sitting on the star.

The basic outline of this "fisherman" is humanoid, but the outline appears to have been drawn by a pure gravitational lens.

His skin was not flesh or even matter, but an absolutely smooth, dark mirror, reflecting the colors of nebulae.

He also had no facial features; his head was a complex structure resembling countless swirling galaxies that were constantly being generated and annihilated.

Amazingly, the starlight around him curved and swirled, forming a bright yet twisted halo that made its boundaries both clear and constantly flowing and changing.

As he watched, Li Ye couldn't help but break out in a few beads of cold sweat on his forehead.

Those who can sit comfortably on a star are undoubtedly advanced intelligent life forms in the universe.

This "fisherman" thus sat firmly atop the star, achieving a harmonious unity with the raging blue supernova beneath him in a way that transcends the definition of geometry.

He was indeed fishing.

As for the fishing rod in the angler's hand, it seems to be a direct extension of his will into the spacetime structure.

The rod body of the fishing rod is not made of any known material. It looks like a piece of spacetime itself that has been forcibly stripped from the background of the universe and twisted into a solid form, exhibiting non-Euclidean geometry and counterintuitive curves and angles.

The "fishing line" extending from the rod tip is not a physical line, but rather appears to be a series of precisely manipulated microscopic spacetime tunnels. This fishing line is transparent in visible light, and its length is meaningless because it "arrives" at its destination by folding space.

The fishing reel's structure is even more outrageous—it's actually a rotating miniature pulsar! Anglers use the magnetic field and gravity of this miniature pulsar to adjust their line release and reel-in actions.

The most amazing thing about him is his fish basket.

The fish basket has no fixed shape; its surface resembles a slowly rotating Klein bottle structure. Upon closer inspection, one can see subtle, teardrop-shaped distortions in the surrounding space, a result of the gravitational lensing effect caused by its immense mass.

The most terrifying thing is that this angler's body is almost the size of a star, which means that his height is an extremely terrifying astronomical number.

"Novie, does the K8 planetary cluster know about this advanced intelligent life?" Li Ye asked.

Novi gently shook her head.

"No. All the leaders of the K8 planetary cluster are on high alert right now and have ordered the space fleet to be ready to fire at any time. This advanced intelligent life form that has appeared before them is far beyond their comprehension."

Li Ye frowned.

This is trouble.

Planets travel at speeds of only a few hundred kilometers per hour, which is not fast at all for space travel.

Fortunately, the anglers seemed oblivious to the passing K8 planetary cluster, remaining focused on their fishing.

"What exactly is this guy trying to catch?" Li Ye wondered.

The leaders' idea was to take advantage of the moment when the anglers weren't paying attention and let the K8 planetary cluster slip away as quickly as possible.

Just then, the angler suddenly made a move.

Something has taken the bait.

Meanwhile, millions of kilometers away, the prey that had been caught took shape.

It was a ferocious whale-like beast with a body length of over 100,000 meters.

The angler begins to reel in the line—or rather, the time and space through which the fishing line is gathered.

At this moment, it was as if the universe itself was being folded in his hands.

The space around the whale-like beast began to distort and compress, stretching the distant starry sky into a strange arc. The behemoth roared even more violently, struggling fiercely, its tail-whipping motion even destroying a large number of nearby meteorites.

But it's all meaningless. To the angler, the beast's power is nothing more than the splash of water from a carp in a pond.

The whale-like creature's body began to be forcibly compressed by an invisible force of spacetime. From a colossal object that spanned the starry sea, it was rapidly pulled, folded, and reshaped, traveling millions of kilometers along the fishing line towards the angler, and finally falling into the fish basket beside him.

The entire process was witnessed by the members of the K8 planetary cluster and the Tomorrow Alliance.

“My God,” one of the leaders murmured.

Just then, the angler made another move. To everyone's astonishment, he turned to look at the moving K8 planetary cluster.

In an instant, everyone felt a chill run down their spines and their breath caught in their throats.

An unprecedented feeling of death swept over my mind and body.

"Run!" one of the leaders shouted hoarsely, snapping out of his daze.

In reality, it's very difficult to escape.

With the angler's extraordinary strength, he is able to catch prey millions of kilometers away or even further.

At this moment, the K8 planetary cluster is only a little over 10,000 kilometers away from him.

The angler calmly watched the K8 planetary cluster, and everyone could feel his thoughts slowly sweeping across the entire cluster like an invisible tide.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the fishing rod again and casually cast it toward the K8 planetary cluster.

His target was a deep blue planet in the K8 planetary group, its surface covered with vast oceans.

The planet immediately sounded alarms and attempted to change its trajectory using its planetary engines to avoid the "fishhook".

However, this was a futile effort, as the fish was already hit the moment the angler cast his line.

The invisible hook on the fishing rod then precisely embedded itself inside the planet, causing it to lose its balance and be dragged away.

Its speed gradually increased, but it remained remarkably stable.

The Earth's crust did not tear apart, the oceans did not unleash a global devastating tsunami, and the atmosphere was not eroded by stellar winds.

Because the angler gently enveloped it with an invisible bubble of spacetime, protecting this fragile planet from shattering during its journey.

Finally, the planet came to rest in front of the angler.

The billions of alien life forms on the planet stared in horror at the intelligent cosmic being before them, while the latter also gazed back at the entire planet.

He seemed to sense the fear and bewilderment of these tiny creatures, but he didn't care.

After casually placing the planet into the fish basket, he picked up the fishing rod again.

At this moment, everyone in both the K8 planetary cluster and the Tomorrow Alliance was on edge.

Unbeknownst to them, a terrifying threat descended upon them during their seemingly peaceful journey.

Suddenly, a leader had a flash of inspiration and spoke up quickly.

“Gravity! Since it’s a fishing rod with a spacetime structure, it must have gravity!” he said. “We’ll use a planetary-level gravity device to counteract it!”

Li Ye's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

However, the K8 planetary cluster possesses planetary-scale gravitational devices that far surpass the scale of the Tomorrow Alliance—which are super-giant mechanical devices directly installed inside the Earth's core.

There are three advantages to doing this.

First, the gravitational device can directly extract the massive amounts of energy generated by geothermal activity and nuclear decay, so there is almost no need to worry about energy depletion. Its energy output level is planetary, enough to support its ability to shake stars.

Second, the Earth's core is the planet's thickest and strongest "armor," which can effectively protect its gravitational pull.

Third, this achieves maximum leverage. In physics, the longer the lever, the greater the effect. Placing the gravitational device in the Earth's core is equivalent to placing the fulcrum of the lever at the planet's mass.

The gravitational field or gravitational waves generated by the device can be coupled directly and effectively from the core of a planet to the planet's own massive gravitational field—meaning that the gravity of the entire planet can be directly invoked.

The other leaders' eyes lit up as well.

But they soon realized something, and their expressions gradually turned pale.

While planetary gravity devices are powerful, the side effects of using them are also extremely high.

The immense unnatural stress generated at the moment the device is activated will be transmitted directly to the Earth's crust through the mantle. The continental plates, like a biscuit being torn apart by an invisible giant hand, will trigger an unprecedented mega-earthquake at the plate boundary.

Every volcano on Earth, whether alive or dead, becomes a vent for releasing internal pressure. An unprecedented global volcanic eruption occurred simultaneously, turning the sky a dark red of sulfur and ash. Massive amounts of volcanic ash rushed into the stratosphere, blocking out sunlight and triggering a global "nuclear winter."

This will also trigger unprecedented landform reshaping, with mountains collapsing in violent earthquakes and plains being torn apart or compressed and uplifted into new plateaus. The planet's landscape is being violently reshaped on a minute-by-minute basis.

In addition, there are atmospheric escape, magnetic field disturbances, radiation disasters, and global-scale tsunamis.

Activating a planetary-level gravity device is tantamount to "harming the enemy by a thousand while losing eight hundred of your own."

"We have no other choice now!" roared the leader who had first suggested. "This is a matter of life and death! If we don't do this, every single planet in the K8 cluster will be lured away by this guy!"

Ultimately, all leaders collectively agreed to activate the planetary gravity device.

The gravitational device deep within the local core was activated, triggering a profound and suffocating global tremor.

On every planet, the gauge needles of all the machinery and vehicles were simultaneously slammed to their limits, then stuck there, no longer swinging, but becoming a hopeless straight line—they were all overloaded and rendered unusable.

The horizon began to twist and undulate, like a deck beneath a giant wave. The stress accumulated between the continental plates over millions of years was released in an instant, and the ground was torn open like fragile glass, with a huge, bottomless wound surging with scorching red light.

The atmosphere was churned by terrifying forces. A superstorm with winds exceeding 800 kilometers per hour formed, and the entire world flickered wildly between light and darkness.

The gravity device takes 5 minutes to go from startup to full operation—and that's with the emergency procedures expediting the process.

During this period, three more planets were fished out.

"Come on! Let's fight this bastard to the death!" a leader roared.

As the angler prepared to retrieve the planet he had caught, he felt an extremely subtle, yet absolutely extraordinary, resistance on his spacetime fishing rod.

This is not the heaviness brought about by planetary inertia, but an organized and precise confrontation.

At this moment, all planetary gravity sensors on each planet are operational.

One of the planets emitted an incredibly precise gravitational cancellation wave.

The ripple spread at the speed of light, not targeting the angler's fishing line, but precisely acting on the orbit of the planet that had been "caught".

It's as if it's applying a "repulsive coating" to the planet, trying to neutralize the lateral gravitational pull exerted by the angler.

At the same time, three more planets precisely projected gravitational beams, creating a reaction force field of equal size and opposite direction at the edge of the trapped planet, attempting to stabilize the planet in place.

In an instant, the space around the planet became incredibly viscous, and its gliding motion became sluggish, as if it had fallen into an invisible quagmire of gravity.

Then, four more planets emitted gravitational waves, completely disrupting the structure of the spacetime fishing line and making the angler's control unstable and unpredictable.

The remaining planets overload their own gravity devices, emitting super gravitational waves that travel along the fishing line and bombard the angler!

Ultimately, the planet was successfully saved.

The angler's body also began to tremble violently due to the bombardment of the super gravitational wave.

For the first time, a hint of admiration appeared on his eternally serene "face".
