Zheng Dong did not continue to approach.
Instead, he observed the Sea of Stars, searching for other Star Beasts.
If any Star Beasts entered, he could follow them.
Perhaps there were fixed passages or methods to enter the Sea of Stars.
Zheng Dong sat on Xiao Zi's back.
Xiao Zi transformed into a Star Devourer, resembling a planet, and began to orbit the Sea of Stars.
He discovered that the starlight emitted from the Sea of Stars was becoming increasingly intense.
Each beam of starlight possessed terrifying penetrating power and destructive force.
This forced Xiao Zi to keep a distance from the Sea of Stars.
After another loop, he noticed that many Star Beasts were also moving away from the Sea of Stars.
Zheng Dong was fortunate to encounter a once-in-a-millennium event: the great eruption of the Sea of Stars.
During the great eruption, the starlight released by the Sea of Stars was equivalent to the total amount released over the previous thousand years.
The energy contained within each beam of starlight was tens of thousands of times greater than before, far more destructive than a laser.
The eruption would last for about seven days.
After the eruption ended, the Sea of Stars would surge with a large amount of divine-grade resources, and even divine artifacts.
Furthermore, it would be safer to enter the Sea of Stars after the starlight eruption.
Zheng Dong had managed to gather information about the eruption of the Sea of Stars.
This was a good thing for him.
He could then enter the Sea of Stars and search for more divine-grade resources.
He did not leave, but simply waited near the Sea of Stars.
He would enter the Sea of Stars after the eruption concluded.
He arrived at a barren planet.
Xiao Zi shrank its body, transforming into the form of a treasure-seeking mouse, and perched on his shoulder.
Zheng Dong found a flat area and summoned Jing Jing, instructing her to transform into a luxury RV.
Since the eruption of the Sea of Stars was still a few days away,
Zheng Dong planned to rest well.
He summoned his other beast pets, Xiao Qing and Yin Xue, and others.
He also asked Xiao Qing to prepare food.
He had a lot of ingredients in his beast-taming space, so he could eat whatever he wanted.
Although Xiao Qing disliked cultivation, she loved to cook.
Xiao Qing, in her dragon-girl form, was becoming more and more like a normal person.
Yin Xue, the nine-tailed fox, assisted her.
Xiao Zi, You You, and other beast pets were unable to help.
Just as Zheng Dong was enjoying his life, the Star Badger clan also pursued him to the Sea of Stars.
Unfortunately, after searching, they could not find Zheng Dong's whereabouts.
Therefore, the leader of the Star Badger clan decided to issue a bounty.
Anyone who could find Zheng Dong, provide his accurate location, and assist them in capturing him would receive a divine-grade resource.
If Zheng Dong could be captured directly and delivered to the territory of the Star Badger clan, they would receive two divine-grade resources.
As soon as the bounty was issued, many Star Beasts began asking who Zheng Dong was.
Of course, many Star Beasts were also concerned about what Zheng Dong had done to warrant a divine-grade resource bounty from the Star Badger clan.
Although the matter of Zheng Dong stealing the corpse from the sacred land of the Star Badger clan was only known within the clan,
it was still discovered by some observant Star Beasts.
Bad deeds travel fast, and the news of the stolen corpse from the Star Badger clan quickly spread to most of the Star Beasts in the star field near the Sea of Stars.
"An outsider beast tamer is so fierce, he even dares to dig up the ancestral graves of the Star Badger clan?"
"Who is Zheng Dong? So fierce, he won't come to raid our family's sacred land!"
"Grave robbers these days are so bold, they even go to other people's homes to rob."
...
Many Star Beasts were laughing at the Star Badger clan.
Of course, there were also Star Beasts who wanted to obtain divine-grade resources and actively searched for Zheng Dong's location.
Zheng Dong was completely unaware of the outside world.
He lay on the sofa of the luxury RV, playing a single-player mobile game.
Before long, Xiao Qing had finished preparing the meal, and Zheng Dong got up to eat.
Compared to Zheng Dong's leisurely and carefree state, Tyler Peter and Caesar were much more distressed.
Tyler Peter and Caesar had finally managed to escape the Star Maze.
Unfortunately, perhaps because the Star Supreme did not think highly of them, they did not gain any benefits from leaving the Star Maze.
They escaped the Star Maze because they had joined forces with the Deep Abyss Black Dragon Elder, the Ancient Shark Emperor, and others.
Afterward, they did not use the wormhole in the Star Desert Wolf Star Domain but took a detour through wormholes in other star domains to arrive.
As a result, their strength had not improved much.
Both Tyler Peter and Caesar were quasi-divine level.
Tyler Peter concealed his aura. He, who originally had thirteen pairs of wings, now only had one pair, with the other twelve pairs hidden.
His Angelic Divine Armor and Angelic Sword were also put away. He dared not take them out, fearing they would be stolen by other transcendent beings who had condensed divine sparks.
He was still traveling with Caesar, the Grand Elder of the Caesar Empire and a legendary beast tamer.
When they arrived at the Sea of Stars, the Sea of Stars was still erupting.
However, the released starlight was slightly weaker than before.
But for them, who were quasi-divine level, it was still terrifying, and they dared not approach.
Tyler Peter suggested finding a place to rest temporarily and entering the Sea of Stars after it stabilized.
Caesar also felt it was a good idea. He was naturally adventurous but would not directly seek death.
They found a giant planet on the outskirts of the Sea of Stars.
This planet had life fluctuations, and there might be some transcendent beings living inside.
Tyler Peter and Caesar landed on the planet and discovered that it was covered in forests.
The environment was even better than what they saw from outside the planet.
It was inhabited by a large number of transcendent beings.
For Tyler Peter and Caesar, this was simply paradise.
Here, they no longer had to worry about attacks from giant, divine-level Star Beasts.
There were not even quasi-divine level transcendent beings here.
They were the strongest on this planet and could do whatever they pleased.
Thus, Tyler Peter completely let loose.
Being fond of showing off, he put on his Angelic Divine Armor again and took out his Angelic Sword, collecting resources on the planet.
He discovered that although the environment here was good, the resources were very scarce.
After searching for a long time, he only found some legendary-grade resources and no divine-grade resources.
On the other hand, Caesar was luckier. He summoned his unicorn.
The unicorn possessed the "Lucky Perception" skill, which allowed Caesar to find many legendary-grade resources along the way.
Soon, he also discovered a divine-grade resource.
It was a giant dragon scale, but it was buried under a large mountain.
Caesar discovered it because he found another legendary-grade resource and dug through the soil, uncovering the dragon scale.
The dragon scale was dark gold and emitted a terrifying dragon's might. It was at least a dragon scale left by a high-level god.
For Caesar, this was like a pie falling from the sky.
He looked at the mountain above the dragon scale.
The mountain had scorch marks and did not look like a mountain, but rather like a meteorite that had fallen onto the dragon scale.
Caesar decided to have his unicorn smash the meteorite.
The unicorn unleashed its ultimate skill, "Destructive Impact."
The unicorn, enveloped in silver lightning that flashed brilliantly, charged fiercely towards the meteorite above the dragon scale.
With a rumbling sound, the meteorite shattered, and the dragon scale pressed beneath it was revealed.
Caesar's eyes lit up.
The dark gold dragon scale was covered in mysterious patterns. When the unicorn collided, a dragon shadow appeared.
The value of this dragon scale was even higher than he had initially anticipated.
His contracted quasi-divine level beast pet might be able to condense a divine spark with its help.
However, when he tried to pick up the dragon scale, he found that it seemed to be rooted to the ground. No matter how he tried to pry it, he couldn't lift it.
Damn it, what was going on!
Caesar became anxious.
He summoned all his beast pets and had them work together to try and take the dragon scale away.
What could the beast pets think of?
They used their respective methods but could not lift the dragon scale from the ground.
Finally, they unleashed various skills to see what was beneath the dragon scale.
The ground around the dragon scale was dug up, revealing hard, gray-black rock.
These rocks were harder than steel.
But this was not a reason why the dragon scale could not be lifted.
So, Caesar's beast pets continued to unleash their skills, trying to blast the rocks to pieces.
Subsequently, they unleashed even more ferocious attacks.
However, the gray-black rocks only cracked a few times and did not shatter.
Just as Caesar was extremely frustrated,
even more misfortune struck.
The ground began to shake, as if a terrifying earthquake had erupted.
The surrounding forests collapsed, and many transcendent beings were buried.
From outside the planet, it could be seen that this was not a planet at all, but a Star Dragon Rock Beast that had been sleeping for many years.
The Star Dragon Rock Beast's appearance was somewhat like a pangolin magnified countless times. When they slept, they would curl up their bodies, resembling a ball.
This Star Dragon Rock Beast had reached the intermediate god level of growth and had slept here for at least a thousand years.
Shortly after it awoke, the Sea of Stars also stopped its eruption and gradually stabilized.
Sensing the changes in the Sea of Stars, it was overjoyed and did not get angry that Caesar had woken it up. It simply shook its body, shedding the dirt on its body, as well as Caesar and Tyler Peter.
These annoying insects had their moments of being likable.
Because you woke me up, I will let you off the hook.
The Star Dragon Rock Beast glanced at Caesar and Tyler Peter, who were being flung towards the Sea of Stars.
At this time, although the Sea of Stars had stopped erupting, it had not yet fully stabilized. Whether Caesar and Tyler Peter could survive depended on their luck.
Afterward, the Star Dragon Rock Beast removed the dragon scale from its body.
This dragon scale was its treasure, something it had obtained with great difficulty. By keeping it on its person, it could alter its divine body and become even more powerful.
Now that the dragon scale was connected to its aura and had been refined by it, Caesar's attempt to take it away was undoubtedly wishful thinking.
With the appearance of the Star Dragon Rock Beast, more Star Beasts also arrived at the Sea of Stars.
There were the Star Profound Birds that Zheng Dong had seen before, as well as newly awakened Star Thunder God Beasts, Star Flame Beasts, Star Magnetic Burst Beasts, and others like the Star Dragon Rock Beast.
With so many Star Beasts gathered, the Star Badger clan also restrained their actions, not daring to be too ostentatious, fearing that they might provoke a powerful Star Beast and bring about their extinction.
Zheng Dong, seizing the opportune moment, also left the barren planet, transformed into a Star Divine Elephant, and swaggered to the vicinity of the Sea of Stars.
He exuded a quasi-divine level aura, which would not attract too much attention from the Star Beasts.
Xiao Zi, on the other hand, concealed its aura and shrank its body, climbing onto his shoulder.
If any accidents occurred, Xiao Zi could step in at any time to deal with them.
Before long, many Star Beasts could not resist and entered the Sea of Stars.
Being the first to enter the Sea of Stars offered the chance to obtain more resources.
Of course, it was also more dangerous.
During this period, the Sea of Stars would experience localized starlight eruptions, and the energy contained within the starlight was also terrifying.
If one could not dodge in time, they would also die on the spot.
A Star Profound Armor Rhinoceros excitedly charged into the Sea of Stars. It had just spotted a divine-grade resource when it was pierced by an erupting beam of starlight.
Beams of starlight passed through its body, and in an instant, its body became like a sieve, too full of holes to be used for fishing.
Tyler Peter and Caesar were considered lucky. They encountered several beams of starlight.
However, they managed to narrowly avoid them and were not severely injured.
Unfortunately, they also did not find any divine-grade resources, only encountering quite a few legendary-grade resources.
As more and more Star Beasts entered the Sea of Stars,
even more Star Beasts could not wait and rushed forward.
However, Zheng Dong soon noticed that powerful Star Beasts like the Star Dragon Rock Beast were not in a hurry to enter.
Therefore, Zheng Dong also did not enter.
These Star Beasts, which had reached the intermediate god or even high-level god level, were hesitant, suggesting that there might still be dangers in the Sea of Stars.
Zheng Dong had no intention of taking risks.
As expected, before long, spacetime storms began to brew again within the Sea of Stars.
All Star Beasts caught in the storms completely disappeared.
It was unknown whether they had died or entered other worlds.
After the spacetime storms passed, the Star Dragon Rock Beast made the first move, charging towards the depths of the Sea of Stars.
Seeing this, other powerful Star Beasts dared not fall behind and followed suit.
Zheng Dong thought for a moment and had Xiao Zi transform into a Star Devourer and follow them.
With the undead he controlled, even if he couldn't obtain any good resources, he should still be able to ensure his safety.
Xiao Zi, in its Star Devourer form, followed far behind these Star Beasts, not rushing forward.
Along the way, he also discovered quite a few legendary-grade resources.
These resources had no value to Star Beasts like the Star Dragon Rock Beast, and they disdained them.
Zheng Dong simply condensed numerous clones and had them collect these legendary-grade resources.
Who knew, he might even get lucky and find something unexpected.
As they ventured deeper into the Sea of Stars,
Zheng Dong saw a giant ball of light from afar.
The ball of light was located at the core of the Sea of Stars, constantly emitting starlight.
However, the starlight it was emitting now was normal and did not cause any harm to the Star Beasts or Zheng Dong.
Within the ball of light, a giant tree could be vaguely seen.
The appearance of the tree could not be clearly discerned from outside the ball of light.
Besides this, outside this ball of light, which was larger than a star, there were also many divine-grade resources.
These resources were scattered in the void like meteorites, waiting to be picked up.
The Star Dragon Rock Beast set its sights on a dragon bone.
The massive dragon bone was like a sky-supporting pillar, emitting a dark golden glow.
The Star Dragon Rock Beast pounced forward, intending to take the dragon bone.
Unfortunately, as soon as it reached the dragon bone, it was attacked.
A terrifying silver lightning bolt struck its head.
The Star Dragon Rock Beast turned its head and saw the Star Thunder God Beast following behind it, clearly also coveting the dragon bone.
A fierce battle was inevitable.
Enraged, the Star Dragon Rock Beast lunged forward and bit at the Star Thunder God Beast.
