Zongman: My five senses are connected with the proud daughter of the world

"That's fine." Ji Zi suddenly relaxed, the corners of her mouth curled up, "It's worth what I said to Xiao Sanyue in the hotel."

What she was referring to was what seemed to be educating March Seven, but in fact, it was all said to Bronya.

"You really did it on purpose."

"Hmph." Ji Zi chuckled slightly complacently. "After all, I've watched Walter teach Sanyueqi for so long, so I've learned a thing or two. Even if I don't want to be a train pilot anymore, maybe switching careers and becoming a teacher would be a good fit. When I was studying interstellar navigation dynamics in my hometown, my teacher said that with my grades, I might be able to make great achievements if I stayed on to teach."

"That's not the right thing to say!" Jiang Lianqiu quickly interrupted Ji Zi, "Forget about others, but don't let yourself become a teacher someday!"

Ji Zi frowned: "...Why are you reacting so strongly?"

"Just don't be a teacher." Jiang Lianqiu continued to instruct, "Promise me! That would be unfortunate!"

Ji Zi stared silently into Jiang Lianqiu's eyes. Seeing his sincere look, she finally nodded with a doting smile and raised her hand to rub Jiang Lianqiu's head.

"Okay, okay, I promise you, right? Seriously, this is the first time I see you like this, Lian Qiu."

"Why do I feel like you treat me like a child?" Jiang Lianqiu was a little confused by Ji Zi's smile.

"What? What do you want to be?" Ji Zi withdrew her hand, pinched Jiang Lianqiu's earlobe again, and glared at him.

——Don’t think that she doesn’t know some things. When she was in Star Harbor, she and Yixuan got along quite well.

Although she was not sure at the beginning, when she found that Yixuan's eyes had clearly opened up one day and chatted with her for a few words, Ji Zi became extremely certain.

This little pervert's hunting range is not limited to girls of his own age, so he must have been targeting her since the first time they met!

When Ji Zi thought that Jiang Lianqiu did not regard her as an intimate elder sister or a trustworthy adult like San Yueqi did, but as a woman, she couldn't help feeling strange.

Even the icy air that was originally howling in the Eternal Winter Ridge became a little sticky and made people dizzy.

"Lian Qiu, are we going to seal the star core now?" In order to calm herself down, Ji Zi decisively changed the subject.

"Get started. You're an expert in this area." Jiang Lianqiu nodded. "Without the Kokolians here, the Star Core can't do anything—otherwise, it wouldn't have waited until now."

……Dividing line……

Office of the Grand Guardian.

Just as Jiang Lianqiu said, after being inexplicably sober for the past two days, Cocolia, whose trust in the star core had decreased a lot, was still flirting with the star core.

Bronya couldn't bear to watch it anymore. In her memory, her mother had never lost her composure like this.

"Mother! You... you must at least be respectable..."

"Huh...!" Cocolia breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had just cursed at Xinghe harshly, she gradually came to her senses. It seemed that Xinghe had really never come into contact with Bronya.

"Bronya, how did you know about the star core?"

Cocolia frowned, then changed her mind and immediately recalled the alien visitor from yesterday.

"Those people from outer space? Did you let them go on purpose?!"

Bronya said hurriedly, "Mother, these things are not important now. I can see that you don't seem to be completely bewitched. In that case, let's give up the star core and let the stranger help us seal it—"

"Stop talking! Bronya!" Cocolia interrupted Bronya with a wave of her hand. "The future promised by the star core is the path that Beloberg will take."

"You clearly don't completely trust it, so why are you still doing this!?" Bronya couldn't understand.

Cocolia's expression became complicated, and she looked up at the dome of the office.

After a long silence, Youyou said, "Child, how many years have we been fighting against the cold wave?"

"Seven hundred years." Bronya answered without hesitation.

"Yes, seven hundred years. For seven hundred years, we have been adhering to the way of preservation and protection, but has the protective star god ever even looked at us?"

Cocolia closed her eyes.

"This universe is far more dangerous than you can imagine. Beloberg has no power to fight back against the dangers in the starry sky. We need strength, enough to protect Beloberg—if the Star God won't give it to us, I have no choice."

"If we seal the core of the star, the cold wave recedes, and the antimatter army that invaded Beloberg arrives again, what should we do?"

"We once had the Cold Wave that could take the Legion with it, but if the Star Core and the Cold Wave are gone, what can we use to fight them?"

"Will those people from outer space come to help us every time?"

Seeing Bronya's silence, Cocolia laughed again. "You might not know this yet, Bronya, but I've read through almost all the historical documents and found something quite ominous. When the City Builders left, our ancestors borrowed money from an organization called the Interstellar Peace Company to fight the Legion and the Cold Wave."

"Seven hundred years have passed. If that organization called the Company still exists, do you think they'll come to collect their debt after the star core is sealed and the cold wave recedes?"

"Seven hundred years of debt, even if Beloberg sold his entire property, he still couldn't pay it back!"

In the silence, the invisible Xing suddenly realized: "So Cocolia surrendered to the enemy just to become a deadbeat?"

"Shut up!" Sanyueqi poked Xing's forehead with his fingertips, then exclaimed, "I didn't expect a company was involved in this. Seven hundred years, with the interest compounding, even if Beloberg was a slave to the company for the entire Amber Age, he still wouldn't be able to pay off his debts."

"Is that company very powerful?" Xier asked in a low voice.

Sanyueqi and Xing answered each other:

"Very Awesome"

"Six Kinsmen"

"Compared to them, the Star Core is just a small role."

"I love using a massive fleet to shout about free trade while smashing doors."

"The guardian star god you believe in is the boss behind them."

"If you can't pay back the credit points owed by Huanyubao using Yongbei, you'll be dead."

Seele opened her mouth wide, looked at the two of them, then looked at Cocolia and Bronya in the distance, and finally put on a mask of pain: "I suddenly understand what's going on with Cocolia. No, no, my brain must be broken..."

On the other side, Bronya stood there stupidly, totally unable to believe that they actually owed someone money for seven hundred years.

Seeing her silly daughter, Cocolia smiled with satisfaction: "Look, child, you are stumped by even such a small difficulty. If the star core is sealed, how will we, without any power, face more and greater crises in the future?"

"My daughter, the more I understand this world, the more I realize that human power has its limits, unless one transcends humanity. So—"

Large flakes of frost had already appeared on Cocolia's body.

“——I’m not a human being anymore! Yaya!!!”

Chapter 271: Will the Star God still snatch people away?

A frost storm erupted in the huge office, centered around Cocolia's body.

The strong wind instantly overturned the rows of bookshelves on both sides of the hall, and Beloberg's files over the years were blown everywhere.

Cocolia's body slowly floated into the air, and blue ice crystals began to cover her skin.

Cocolia, in the form of the Mother of Illusion, finally appeared before Bronya.

"See, Bronya-."

Cocolia, suspended in mid-air, looked down at her stunned daughter below.

"This is its power!"

"A power that will allow us to fight against everything in the future!"

After becoming the Mother of Illusion, the voice uttered by Cocolia also became accented.

The voice echoed in the empty hall, and for a moment Bronya's eyes were filled with confusion.

But soon, Bronya regained consciousness.

She took a step forward, clenched her fists over her chest, and raised her head to firmly refute her mother: "You are wrong! Mother! Even though the star sea is full of crises, even though Beloberg is extremely weak now, even though countless forces will be eyeing us covetously in the future, I believe that Beloberg can only go far enough and make it to the end if he relies on himself!"

"Star cores are the source of disaster. Relying on them will only lead to our destruction!"

"Well said!" Xing was so excited by Bronya's words.

Sanyueqi knocked her head again: "What are you burning for? You are also a star core, you are also a star core spirit!"

"Even at this point, are you still stubborn? My daughter, what are you relying on?" Cocolia thought that after showing Bronya the power of the star core, Bronya would "repent and turn back", but the other party's reaction confused her.

Bronya remained silent, but raised the gun in her hand and pointed it at Cocolia.

The trigger was pulled and the bullet whizzed out of the chamber.

The bullet, which was so fast that ordinary people could not catch it with their naked eyes, was extremely clear in Cocolia's eyes at this moment.

However, as soon as she raised her hand, she felt a chill on the back of her neck.

Xier, who had silently touched Cocolia's back, appeared. The swung sickle brought out a faint blue arc of light, and the dancing light butterflies exuded the breath of death.

The girl leaped up and rushed towards Cocolia as fast as lightning.

There was no time to rejoice for having barely dodged the knife, because the next person to arrive at the scene was March Seventh, who shot the Six-Phase Ice Arrow with a longbow.

And the electric bullets shot out from the trigger lurking in another corner of the hall.

And the slashing blow from Zuikaku above his head.

"Insanity!"

Seeing this, Cocolia was filled with anger. She waved her hand and smashed down several huge ice spears in the hall.

The violent wind released by the ice spear completely neutralized all incoming attacks. She stared at Cocolia and snorted coldly, "Have you already colluded with outsiders to resist me, Bronya?"

"The battle between the crown princes... no, the battle between the great guardians has always been like this." Xing stepped out, bat in hand. "Cocolia, you're surrounded by us. Surrender or not?"

In response to the star, Cocolia raised her hand and grabbed it, and the completely frozen lance appeared.

The huge lance was thrown by Cocolia, and Xingguai screamed and jumped to the side to avoid it.

At the same time, everyone launched a second siege on Cocolia...

……Dividing line……

The golden star core was peeled off from the head of the creation engine.

It slowly fell downwards, trembling and struggling in mid-air.

But it doesn't help.

When it fell into Ji Zi's palm, the star core had shrunk to the size of less than a fist.

The scattered light made its edges look blurred. Ji Zi frowned slightly, and the power of development turned into rune chains that bound around the star core.

"This is the core of the star." Jiang Lianqiu watched from beginning to end.

"Haven't you seen it? On the Black Tower's space station."

"Wasn't that star core supposed to be stuffed into the star's body? That's why I didn't take a close look."

Hearing this, Ji Zi did not hesitate and confidently extended her hand to Jiang Lianqiu: "Then take this opportunity to take a good look. I have recovered and sealed it, so it is generally safe now."

Jiang Lianqiu took the star core.

It felt a little cold to the touch. Jiang Lianqiu played with it for a while, but did not hear any bewitching sound.

"What do you usually do with the star core after you seal it?"

"Most of the time, they're kept safe." Ji Zi explained the whereabouts of the sealed star cores in the past. "We'll find a secret place to store them, or if someone trustworthy like the Black Tower needs them, we'll send one or two there."

"Aren't you worried that your sealed star core will be discovered and taken away by others?"

"That's not the case." Ji Zi shook her head. "The origins of star cores are still a matter of debate. Although the company and the society tend to believe that their creation is related to the antimatter army that is destined to destroy them, there is no substantial evidence."

"And just like its birth, the sealed star core will also dissipate silently after a period of time."

"Walter believes that the star core may need something from the outside world as energy to maintain its existence. The seal can prevent it from receiving energy, causing it to disappear on its own."

"Currently, each major power has its own method of handling star cores, but from my observation, our Wumingke's method is the safest and most harmless."

At the end, Ji Zi felt a rare little proud.

In addition to opening up new shipping routes and connecting existing but disconnected shipping routes, the ability to harmlessly dispose of star cores is also an important reason why the Unknown Guests of the Starry Sky Train have a high status in the starry sea and are respected by all major forces.

"Can you lend me this star core so I can study it?"

"I have no objection." Ji Zi nodded, "But please be careful, it is very dangerous after all."

"I'll be careful." Jiang Lianqiu returned the star core to Ji Zi, "You take it first. After all, you are the professionals in dealing with this thing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Lianqiu suddenly looked up at the sky.

"What's wrong?" Ji Zi asked with concern.

"Star God..."
