Swallowing the Stars: Analyzing All Things

Chapter 97 Next!

In the void, only floating debris remained.

Shattered shells, broken weapons, damaged spaceships—and the lingering energy shockwaves that had not yet dissipated—continued to propagate further and further into space.

"Whoosh~"

Lin Yan's figure emerged from the spaceship, hovering in the void, his gaze sweeping over the ravaged battlefield.

His world power surged forth.

He collected the World Rings scattered after the fall of the alien immortals, as well as all the treasures of those alien warriors.

Immediately, the power of the world probed into the world ring, searching it inch by inch.

Whether it's a spatial ring or a world ring, it would likely require the use of mental power, immortal power, or world power to detect the items inside, and the detection range would depend on the individual's strength.

For example, in one world, a weaker being might only be able to search a few hundred kilometers with their mental power, while a stronger being might be able to search hundreds of thousands of kilometers. The range that can be detected depends entirely on the individual's strength.

There are only two places where an unlimited range can be easily explored.

First, the internal world.

Second is the Kingdom of God.

Exploring one's own inner world and divine kingdom is as easy as a thought, allowing one to explore every area. However, the World Ring is an independent world that can only be explored inch by inch by one's own abilities.

"what?"

Lin Yan's gaze suddenly stopped.

In a corner of the World Ring space, there were two silver-white bones, their surfaces covered with fine patterns, which were very similar to the leg bones he had obtained before.

But one bone is the thumb bone, and the other is the little finger bone.

"That's true!"

Lin Yan held the two finger bones in his hands, feeling the energy contained within them, as well as the broken stone slab deep within his consciousness that was stirring.

Two finger bones!

He searched through both fragmented continents but couldn't find a trace of the secret bone. He never expected that his casual attempt to gain some battle merits would lead to such an unexpected surprise.

Lin Yan's lips curled up slightly.

He stored the two finger bones into his inner world, but instead of analyzing them, he returned to the spaceship, started the ship, and headed towards the third fragmented continent.

This fragmented continent is over tens of millions of kilometers in diameter. Its surface is covered with craters of varying sizes and crisscrossing rift valleys, making it look like an abandoned wasteland.

"Splash!"

The hatch opened.

Lin Yan flew out and hovered above the continent, while the detector, controlled by Fat Cat, conducted a preliminary survey of the continent below.

"Fat Cat, record the energy fluctuation information of this finger bone, and then use it to probe for similar fluctuations of the same origin!"

Lin Yan took out a finger bone, recorded the energy fluctuations on it into the detector data, and then turned the detector power to the maximum to detect the most similar and homologous energy fluctuations.

Several months later.

At the bottom of a crater in the western part of the Fragment Continent, a detector detected a similar energy fluctuation.

-

"Whoosh!"

Lin Yan's figure appeared at the bottom of the meteorite crater, with gray-black, cracked rocks under his feet, making a rustling sound when he stepped on them.

The air was thick with a putrid smell, as if some rotting corpse had been fermenting for countless years, permeating every inch of the soil with the stench of death.

"This fluctuation—"

Lin Yan frowned slightly.

The source of the fluctuations detected by the detectors was deep within this fragmented continent, tens of thousands of kilometers below the surface, seemingly obscured by layers of rock.

If his detectors hadn't been so advanced, it would have been impossible to detect the existence of this energy fluctuation.

"Whoosh~"

The power of the world extends downwards, penetrating layers of rock and mineral veins, but is quickly blocked by an invisible barrier, unable to go any further.

"Ming tide."

Lin Yan called out softly, and a dark blue branch emerged from his shoulder, trembling gently in response.

"puff!"

A silvery-white root appeared out of thin air, then instantly burrowed into the ground, penetrating the rock layer, the mineral vein layer, and directly piercing through that invisible membrane layer, touching the source of the fluctuation.

According to Mingxi's divine power feedback, it was a bone about the thickness of an arm, silvery-white in color, with fine patterns covering its surface, gleaming with a faint silver light in the dark underground.

"Arm bone?!"

Lin Yan's lips curled up slightly.

It's truly a double blessing. First, I dealt with that alien army and obtained two finger bones, and now I've found an arm bone.

"Whoosh!"

The silvery-white roots quickly retracted, and the silvery-white arm bone flew out from the depths of the ground, landing in Lin Yan's palm. It felt warm and heavy, like a piece of jade polished by time.

Lin Yan stored the arm bone into his inner world, placing it alongside the two finger bones. His gaze lingered on the three secret bones for a moment, a sense of indescribable anticipation welling up within him.

Previously, a single leg bone doubled his life gene level. Now, with three secret bones, how much will it increase?

three times?

Quadruple?

Lin Yan didn't know either.

However, he knew that with his current level of willpower, there was still a certain risk in fusing with the life substance in the secret bone.

but.

With several hundred years remaining before the time limit for the cosmic secret realm expires, he has ample time to search for more secret bones. Naturally, the more of these carriers of life-giving matter, the better.

After obtaining a piece of arm bone and two finger bones, Lin Yan did not stop there. Traces of the sacrificial temple were found throughout the entire eleventh battlefield, with the Netherworld Starfield being only a core part of it.

The area he had previously explored.

This is just the tip of the iceberg for the entire Youyuan Starfield, let alone the entire Eleventh Battlefield outside the domain.

Lin Yan continued searching the outer regions of the Youyuan Starfield, but his luck didn't seem to be so good.

17 years.

I searched for it for another 17 years.

-

With a detector recording the energy fluctuations of the secret bones, his exploration efficiency was increased to the limit. He searched through more than ten fragmented continents, but in the end, he only obtained a leg bone.

"Not bad at all!"

Inside the spacecraft's control room, Lin Yan leaned back in his chair, a silver-white leg bone tucked between his fingers.

The leg bone felt warm and heavy to the touch, like a piece of jade polished by time, with the fine lines on its surface gleaming with a faint silver light under the dim light of the command room.

And in front of him.

There was a light screen on the screen, which marked more than a dozen areas that had been searched. In the outer domain of the Youyuan Starfield, which was searched by the military system, there were a total of more than a hundred areas where there were suspected ruins.

More than one-tenth of the total has been explored so far.

Four secret bones were found; the harvest wasn't huge, but it wasn't bad either.

after all.

Most of the ruins of the sacrificial temple had already been looted by predecessors. His search was just picking up scraps. He was already lucky to find a few pieces of secret bone.

Lin Yan turned off the light screen and stored the leg bone in his inner world, placing it together with the other secret bones he had obtained earlier.

"Fat Cat, next target."

"Yes, Master!" The fat cat's image appeared on the screen, a hint of excitement flashing in its eyes.

Its claws swiped through the air a few times, and a new star map unfolded on the screen: "The next target is about twelve light-years away."

The heart sets off.

The spaceship accelerated in a wide area and soon reached the speed of light to enter the dark universe.
