Chapter 18 I Obtained the Galaxy Star!
"Oh no! Everyone get out of the way! Chen Feng has been affected by the Galaxy Star!" Gaia quickly called out to everyone. If Chen Feng, who was so powerful, was blinded by the power, the situation would be troublesome.
Everyone present might die here.
But just then, Chen Feng finally managed to utter his long-suppressed voice: "I don't feel anything at all!"
Chen Feng's suppressed, trembling voice finally came out completely, crystal clear, even carrying a hint of innocent bewilderment.
He opened his palm, and the Milky Way Star, radiating a soft light, lay quietly in his palm, which was covered with a faint amber halo, as docile as an ordinary pebble.
The anticipated energy rampage, mental erosion, and aura of destruction... nothing happened.
Chen Feng even curiously poked it with the index finger of his other hand. The Galaxy Star only flickered slightly, as if in response, and remained well-behaved.
An eerie silence fell over the passageway.
Gaia's massive body froze on the spot, its crimson electronic eyes fixed on Chen Feng's hand, its core processor seemingly malfunctioning for a moment: "...Are...you alright?"
Angel Yan's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and the light on the flaming sword dimmed slightly. She let out a long sigh of relief.
She then glared at Chen Feng with annoyance: "I should have thought of that. How could someone with your twisted sense of humor remain still when they go crazy?"
"Heh heh, I've been seen through again." Chen Feng stuck out his tongue and then looked at Gaia.
"What happens next doesn't seem to affect me."
Gaia's electronic eyes flashed with complex light, followed by deep confusion and a hint of... relief?
"Since the Galaxy Star has not encountered any problems in your hands, it means that you are also one of the chosen ones by the supreme god Otan. In that case, you shall keep the Galaxy Star."
"Huh?" Both Angel Yan and Chen Feng were stunned upon hearing this, truly not expecting Gaia to be so open-minded.
"Are you sure? This thing is a treasure of your universe, and you're just giving it to me so easily?" Chen Feng himself didn't expect Gaia to make such a decision.
Furthermore, what would happen to the plot if he took the Galaxy Star away? You see, the Galaxy Star is needed to locate the other Star Gods later on.
Gaia, however, seemed to have been freed from his shackles, and his tone became much more relaxed: "This is the decision of the supreme god Otan, and I am merely conveying his thoughts."
Gaia then looked at the Galaxy Star in Chen Feng's hand: "Because of the Galaxy Star, we, the star gods who should have been like brothers, have fallen apart and are now fighting for ourselves."
"Otan, the supreme god, originally created the Galaxy Star for the purpose of cosmic peace, but it has resulted in such a terrible consequence. If it can be corrected, I think this is his decision."
After a pause, Gaia looked at Chen Feng: "So Chen Feng, you should take the Galaxy Star. This is not only the idea of the Supreme God Otan, but also my idea. I believe you can control this power."
Chen Feng looked at the docile Galaxy Star in his hand, and then at Gaia's "heavy" gaze. He no longer wanted to joke, because that would be disrespectful to Gaia.
"I understand." Chen Feng nodded. "Leave Galaxy Star to me."
With a thought, a layer of more solid, amber-like energy slowly enveloped the Milky Way Star, forming an irregular, faintly glowing "amber stone," which he then casually tucked into his... pocket.
Gaia looked at the Milky Way Star, which was encased in amber and whose aura was completely contained, and a huge weight was finally lifted from her heart.
Although the process was bizarre, the result... seems to be the best?
"Thank you, Chen Feng. I, Gaia, will forever remember this kindness! When I find Lord Apollo, I will certainly..."
"Alright, alright, enough with the pleasantries." Chen Feng waved his hand to interrupt him, then looked at Dilu and the others, "As for you little rascals..."
Before he could finish speaking, Dilu and the other three nodded vigorously, like chickens pecking at rice: "Go home! We just want to go home!"
Chen Feng smiled and snapped his fingers. A gentle spatial fluctuation enveloped Dilu, Xiao An, Yao Yao, and Lili.
"Huh? Wait, our home..." Dilu was about to say something when the four of them, along with the dust on their bodies and their backpacks, vanished from the spot in an instant, as if they had never been there.
"I got them home safely and erased that 'unscientific' memory from their minds," Chen Feng explained. "Let them go back to their normal lives. This kind of universe-saving work should be left to the professionals."
He pointed to Gaia and himself.
Gaia nodded silently; this was indeed the best arrangement for those children.
Angel Yan nodded slightly, agreeing with Chen Feng's approach.
"Alright, that's about it for things here." Chen Feng stretched and looked at Angel Yan. "Sister Yan, are you going back? Or do you want to take a vacation in this universe and do some research?"
Angel Yan shook her head: "My duty is in the Heavenly Court of Merlo. Queen Keisha is still waiting for my report. Besides..."
She glanced at Gaia. "I'm afraid I won't be able to help Gaia much on her journey from here on out. The rules of different universes are too different." Her earlier ineffectiveness with lightning was the best lesson she could learn.
"A wise choice." Chen Feng nodded, then looked at Gaia, "Brother Gaia, shall we head back now? Take care, be careful on your way to find your companions, that old bastard Saron will definitely send more people. If anything happens, call in the group chat, I'm on call... uh, depending on the situation."
Gaia's massive body leaned forward slightly, as if in a bow: "Thank you again! Chen Feng, Angel Yan, until we meet again! May the will of the universe guide you!"
"Until we meet again!" Angel Yan said solemnly.
Chen Feng waved casually, "Let's go, let's go. There are people at home waiting to 'interrogate' me."
hum!
The familiar, irresistible teleportation power descended once more. Two beams of light flashed, and Chen Feng and Angel Yan vanished from their original positions, leaving behind only an empty valley, the wreckage of the battle, and Gaia lost in thought, gazing at the starry sky.
The group quest "Support Your Companion" has been completed!
[Reward group members "Plain and Unremarkable Dust-Beating Guy" with 4500 group points (90%) and "North of the Galaxy" with 500 group points (10%)]
The chat group's announcement sounded in his mind, and Chen Feng's group points, which were originally just eggs, skyrocketed to 4,500, making him one of the biggest spenders in the chat group.
But before Chen Feng could react, a slender hand suddenly grabbed his wrist. Chen Feng looked closely and realized that the owner of the hand could only be Hei Ta.
