I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

Of course, she didn't forget the important matter.

"Grandpa, was that giant turtle really a level six sea beast? So it's the king of all sea beasts? That mermaid girl was very sad to see these sea beasts attacking us."

He had faith in Lingling; he believed she wouldn't suffer the same blow and despair as the Holy Demon King Baal, who would just drift along, eating, drinking, and waiting to die.

Lingling should also have confidence in herself.

Sure enough, after hearing Figo's story, Lingling was only surprised: "How could such a thing happen? If that's the case, is there another star in the starry sky that I was transformed into? No, that another me was transformed into?"

Lingling asked in surprise, "Going back so soon? Did something happen?"

She was very clever and perceptive, and Figo had no intention of hiding anything from her. He dragged a dozen or so sea monster corpses across the sea and told her everything that had happened in the battle with the Spirit of Light.

They didn't even conceal the information gleaned from the people and events, or the truth about the starry sky.

There's no need to mention Lox again.

Sakazuki is basically the limit.

And given that he came into contact with the stars so late, the fact that he was able to grow up so rapidly in just about 20 years is partly due to his talent.

If she exists, she's likely a second-rank star. If you encounter her, be careful. It would be best if I could meet her and see if she's exactly like me…”

She seemed completely unconcerned about any apocalyptic crisis; her focus was rather bizarre. Figo shook his head and laughed: "You certainly have confidence in yourself."

In reality, this possibility is very small. It's not that Lingling lacks talent and cannot grow into the strongest person of an era, but because without Figo, Qinghai would have entered the starry sky much later, and by then, even if Lingling, Roger and the others were still alive, they would be too old.

In other words, because of Figo's presence, Qinghai's journey was basically smooth sailing, without any survival crisis. As a result, the growth rate of Linlin, Akainu, Kizaru, and the others may have been slower.

“I have faith in you, Grandpa,” Lingling replied. “Even if no one else can do it a thousand times or ten thousand times, you can!”

"What if it fails?"

'Pressure' is probably another aspect.

If Qinghai returns to the starry sky as predicted by King Laibur ten thousand years ago, its status as a land of hope will be directly exposed to Tianlong Star. It will be easy to guess how Tianlong Star will treat Qinghai at that time.

Forced immigration and control are inevitable.

……

Soon they arrived at an island, where the corpses of more than a dozen giant beasts caused a wave of terror. But when they learned that these were the spoils of the Star King Figo, the curious and excited people gathered around, and various exclamations of amazement filled the air.

Figo gave the sheriff some instructions.

“Then I’ll fight you to the death, let’s die together,” Lingling said.

Seeing Lingling's resolute expression, Figo laughed loudly: "That day will never come."

He firmly believed this!

Figo wasn't sure if they would be attacked by sea monsters during transport, but he didn't have time to escort them himself, so he had to store them here for the time being, and even the storage site had to be temporarily guarded.

Lingling didn't feel bad about sharing the sea beast meat, because after learning about the Spirit of the Lamp, she knew very well that Figo would not show any mercy when attacking level five sea beasts, and she would not lack meat to eat in the future!

So this time, they only ate a little bit, just over a thousand tons of meat. While eating, they also managed to contact the Skeleton Emperor in Capri through the sheriff's connections.

The sea creatures are too heavy for even him to drag across vast oceans, so they are cut and packaged here, and need to be refrigerated.

They will first be stored on a large nearby island and gradually distributed. Some will be transported to the Lynch Merchant Guild, and a few will even be sold as commodities. Figo plans to take the rest to the front lines so that the Lightbringer soldiers can have a taste.

However, transportation is a major problem.

“Really? I also have some bad news to tell you,” said the Skeleton Emperor.

Figo was taken aback: "Then you go first?"

"This information was only given to me by Gol D. Roger of your Land of Hope because he couldn't reach you. While exploring the island that sank three thousand years ago when I fought the Demon Pillar, they discovered a powerful man who has been resurrected on the seabed," said the Skeleton Emperor.

Using Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter), Lingling personally acts as a lookout to ensure that their conversation is not overheard by others.

"Figo, you went to find that mysterious level six sea monster, right? How did it go?"

"I received bad news."

"You're really something, Gerald."

He recalled how Grat recounted the great deeds he had accomplished over the millennia, all the way up to the time he imprisoned Rilentorfor for two hundred years, which had actually fooled Figo, who thought it was just a preparatory period for him to activate his cycle ability.

Now it seems that part of it was probably to cover for Rillen Torvald!

"Based on their description of his appearance, it is probably Rillentoffer."

"At the same time, a merman went to greet Lilen Torford, who was probably one of the five demon generals who had escaped from the Mermaid Kingdom."

Figo was stunned.

Figo pondered for a moment and replied, "It seems that the person who established Tianlong Star 3200 years ago may not have been him. No wonder I have always been puzzled. If it was the demon race that replaced him, how come the ship spirit Solnos never discovered it from beginning to end?"

It seems... I still have a chance to meet this legendary figure.

The Skeleton King on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was a little surprised. Did he accept it so easily? Why did Figo seem not surprised at all?

Unfortunately, Rilsen Torvald was very unlucky, or perhaps Roger's fate was too strong, as he was able to directly encounter and expose this.

Figo also figured out why the Spirit of the Light had spat out Rilentorf, and even understood why Rilentorf was cooperating with the demons.

'Two more people know the truth, Rilsentorff and Lucifer...'

He almost lost his composure when he received the news.

"So, what's your bad news?"

Ten minutes later, the Skeleton Emperor stared blankly at the Den Den Mushi, the ship spirit, the sea monster, the starry sky... It turns out my concerns were all correct.

But... your meddling in this kind of thing, your calling it this kind of thing, is just 'bad news'?

Chapter 374 Changes in the Starry Sky

Just as Figo was communicating with the Skeleton Emperor, a major event occurred in the starry sky.

Andrent Star in the Central Star Region is a large planet. Many Three-Lamp Kings have emerged from it, and the planet is quite powerful. However, it was once ruled by Tianlong Star because it could produce special resources. After Tianlong Star's rule collapsed, it joined the Starry Sky Alliance.

On this day, life for the Andrent people was as usual: some were working, some were practicing, and most were busy with their daily routines.

But amidst this tranquility, an unprecedented change suddenly occurred!

First, the sun blinked for a long time, alternating between light and darkness. Just as panic was building, something even more terrifying happened—the sun went out completely!

This blackness is extremely deep.

Even though technology and lights can make the night as bright as day, nothing can replace the sun in the sky!

It stopped flashing altogether.

It was noon, yet darkness enveloped every corner of Andrent!

Standing atop the palace, gazing at the dark night sky, Van Aojian's expression was extremely solemn.

This night sky was unlike any other night; it was a deep, dark black, like a monster that could devour people.

Currently, the supreme ruler of Andrent is a Longhanded King named Van Aujan, who has lit three lamps.

The moment the sun blinked, he immediately sent out his guards to control the riot and also contacted the Starry Sky Kings.

"what?!"

Van Aojian knew all too well what the absence of a planetary protective membrane meant, and he immediately shouted, "Quickly spread the word! Inform everyone, and tell them not to recklessly fly into the sky to explore!"

Two guards flew up into the sky to explore, and returned looking terrified. Van Aojian quickly asked, "What happened? What did you see?"

"Your Majesty... the planetary protective membrane... the planetary protective membrane has also disappeared!" a guard exclaimed in horror.

"Lord Giant King, we..."

"Has the planetary protective membrane disappeared?"

Without a planetary protective membrane, wouldn't a king who isn't a physical lamp lose his way and end up in the place where the lamp resides if he flies a little higher?

After giving the order, Van Aojian stumbled toward the Den Den Mushi and quickly dialed.

Van Aojian's pupils contracted.

"In short, King Van O'Kane, stabilize the situation on your planet first. Don't worry, even if all the suns on all the planets go out, humanity will not be wiped out. Wait for our reinforcements!"

"...How...how did you know? Have your men already arrived?"

"No, besides your planet, there are five other planets that suffered the same fate!"

"The team that went to the Land of Lights to inform the King of the Stars has already set off."

"The reinforcements to the six planets where the sun went out have also set off."

……

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, the Giant King was having a video call with the Starry Sky Kings using another Den Den Mushi.

The simultaneous extinction of the suns of six planets is clearly not an ordinary or accidental event.

The kings did not know at this time whether there were only six or more would be added gradually.

"So, everyone, how should we respond to this unexpected event?"

After these words were spoken, a brief silence ensued.

But that would result in a very poor quality of life, and it wouldn't last for many years.

"First, stabilize the situation on those six planets. If the suns on those planets don't light up again in three or five days, then prepare to launch a large-scale migration."

The sun is almost a necessity for life on any planet. After the sun goes out, a series of chain reactions will occur, and those six planets will no longer be able to support human life.

It's barely manageable with technology.

"But these people living in the central star system are not demons. The question remains the same: would they be willing to move to a remote place?"

The kings fell silent once again.

"Where to move them? There are no empty life-bearing planets left in the central star region. If we merge them into which planet, would the native inhabitants be willing to accept them? And would they all be willing to leave their homeland?"

"If it's one of the four cosmic seas, then we might be able to find blank life-bearing planets."

"Perhaps Figo knows the reason why the suns on these planets went out?"

"We should also go and explore those six planets ourselves first."

Yes, there are too many problems.

"We'll discuss this later. In any case, let's stabilize the situation on those six planets first and maintain their normal lives. If we have no other choice, we can listen to their opinions, or we can wait for the King of the Stars to return and then discuss it together."
