I would rather betray the gods

Perhaps it's something that takes a long time to adapt to, especially for someone like Yuzu who ascended to godhood directly without ever comprehending the Dao of Nature.

However, just as Yuebai was thinking this, Youzi slowly regained her composure, and her expression returned to normal at a visible speed.

He... he adapted so quickly?

And it seems to be getting along very well with the universe.

Yuebai stole a few glances at the pomelo, repeatedly confirming that she wasn't seeing things. After confirming, she was shocked again and again...

"Hey, what's the name of that star you pointed out to me? It's not only unusually bright, but it's also making a really high-pitched 'thump-thump' sound, like a racing heartbeat!"

Yuzu waved her hand in front of Yuebai, hoping that this repeated question would get a response.

Yuebai finally came to her senses. The fact that the two had reacted in reverse made her very dissatisfied. It should have been Youzi who was so surprised that she couldn't help herself and then Yuebai had to remind her. "How did Your Highness adapt so quickly? Do you still have some memories of Zifeiyu from this life?"

So that's why he looked unhappy~

Yuzu's ability to read people's expressions is on par with a supercomputer. She understood what was going on and smiled helplessly, "I usually like to overthink things. I've imagined the universe might be in this form, but I was still quite surprised when I experienced it firsthand."

After hearing his words, Yuebai felt much better and changed the subject, "Those kinds of stars are called neutron stars. They are few in number but extremely stable."

The stability I'm referring to encompasses many aspects, including location, lifespan, and the frequency of outward-emitted rays. So, if we compare the entire universe to a living organism, it's like the 'biological clock' within that organism, ensuring that the space and time of everything in the universe are traceable and follow a regular pattern.

"I understand. These stars can serve as coordinates for our interstellar travel."

With a concrete perception and a clear reference point, Yuzu suddenly felt less uncomfortable.

"Damn, no wonder you're the king of the Dream Palace."

Yuebai had to admit defeat; he felt that the profound mysteries that could be explained in a thousand words could be revealed in just a few words from him.

"What?"

The premise is that Yuzu is willing to "turn on" his brain. For example, when Yuebai talks about kingship, fame, and fortune, his brain basically doesn't read the data and just crashes.

"Let's keep going!"

Yuebai realized that instead of changing the "format" of the explanation, it would be better to save time and travel. After saying that, she flew away with BlingBling.

Unlike the solar system, deep space, without the protection of that 'eggshell,' is a true wilderness.

Whether he was dangerous or not was immediately apparent from the moonlight. A reckless fool who dared to gamble with the life and death of a god-king became unusually cautious in the deep space.

It wasn't until Yuzu asked what she was wary of?

At this moment, Yuebai chuckled, his smug expression as if to say, "I knew there would be things you, the God-King, couldn't have imagined, otherwise it would be too heaven-defying. Your Highness, don't think that becoming a god makes you invincible. A god is only a relative god."

Just like people on Earth, what good is it if you sit in the top position? If you're thrown into the deep forest, the wild animals will still eat you up with relish.

"I understand now that the Creator is fair."

Yuzu nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly, a thought struck her, and she asked, "If Earth has wolves and tigers, what does the universe have?"

Only after asking the question did his thoughts gradually stabilize, like a bouncy ball slowly forming a concept in his mind: the Hoshino Beast, a counterpart to a god...

How ferocious must this beast in the starry sky be?

He then imagined in his mind a supremely powerful god encountering a ferocious celestial beast, just as an ordinary person would be utterly powerless against a lion or tiger...

|Celestial Arts - Beginning of the Month|!

Just as Yuzu was lost in his own awe, a surge of energy jolted him awake. It turned out that Yuebai was raising his finger to unleash a spell.

Like a bright moon and stars rising, several giant meteorites gathered together and formed a small sphere during the impact and swirling. It was about the height of a hundred-story building, and its smooth surface immediately refracted the light of nearby stars.

Due to the angle, the bright area resembles a crescent moon under the starry sky, while the pomelo and moon white are positioned directly opposite the crescent moon.

"What's this?" Yuzu turned around to look at the mini moon behind her.

Yuebai ignored him and stared intently at the deep, dark space, as if there was something there.

Based on his intuition, Yuzu guessed that what they feared most had come to pass, and that the Starry Night Beast had most likely appeared there, but he was too blind to see anything.

"They're here! Watch out!"

Suddenly, Moonlight reminded me.

Yuzu understood and became very attentive. This time, she finally noticed something. In the speckled starry sky, two 'stars' were swaying back and forth.

Those aren't stars, they're the eyes of a ferocious beast!

Once he had sorted things out, he was secretly startled and quickly assumed a fighting stance.

However, he didn't understand the purpose of placing the small moon behind Yuebai, and thought he would pay more attention later so as not to hold anyone back if he couldn't coordinate well.

Before long, the ferocious beast came within sight. Although the light was dim, it was already faintly visible. Its shape was slender like an earthworm, its skin was as dark as black iron, and its head had dozens of tentacles that stretched and contracted like oars propelling the 'cosmic ocean currents'.

It's not very big, about the size of a medium-sized dog.

"Judging by the proportions, this thing is about the size of a hyena on Earth, right?"

"It's a pomelo," asked the pomelo.

What? Yuebai finally caught the flaw in the Dream Palace Master's meditative power—unrealistic and wildly speculative—and glared at him, saying, "This thing is just a tiny, insignificant creature; let's just call it a cosmic krill."

Yuzu felt even more relieved upon hearing this, thinking that the mini moon behind it was probably a "shrimp-catching artifact"?

Little did he know that when the so-called shrimp swam up to them, it saw the mini moon blocking its way and suddenly turned around. The 'undercurrent' it stirred up almost threw him away, but luckily Yuebai grabbed his hand.

This...this...this!!!

Yuzu looked at Yuebai in disbelief, speechless.

"Be careful, there's more ahead!" Yuebai kept looking ahead.

More?

Yuzu then realized that the mini moon behind them wasn't a shrimp trap; it was acting as a roadblock to keep the shrimp away, preventing them from bumping into them.

If one of them has such brute force, imagine the strength of the group behind him! He quickly mobilized his stellar power, steadied himself, and prepared to fight with all his might.

Then, before the shrimp arrived, the waves came first.

The shrimp swarms propelled the "undercurrents" wildly, causing gravitational anomalies and arcs of light wherever they went.

"Water from the universe?" Yuzu glanced sideways at her dancing hair.

He could feel the 'undercurrent' not only blowing through his long hair, but also washing over every cell in his body.

He suddenly felt as if his body was made of fermented tofu, as if it could fall apart at any moment.

"Yes, it is dark matter water."

The current is very strong. Use your stellar power to protect your body and prevent injury!

Yuebai looked tense, with cold sweat trickling down her temples.

Clearly, the shrimp population was far larger than she had predicted, and the situation was gradually slipping out of her control.

After saying that, she put her hands together and raised her index fingers, channeling the power of the stars to the maximum extent in order to firmly stabilize the mini moon behind her.

That was their only protection. With it around, the shrimp could dodge obstacles. If it were swept away by the flow of dark matter, they would be trampled to death.

However, things didn't go as planned. The mini moon, like a small pebble, was being pushed away little by little by the turbulent undercurrent.

Once initial velocity is achieved, it's too late!
