Chapter 1400 19.59 Second Red Star - Awake Chuchu and the Beast Planet.
In the Federation Star,
South Region, at the Mysterious Spring...
After releasing the energy of gluttony, Leng Jun had been meditating. Now, it is attempting to consume the energy from an enigmatic spring, which not only emits a chilling temperature that can instantly turn a person into ice but also has the ability to harm this odd aura. Simply put, it took a lot of labor to refine the energy they obtained from the spring.
Leng Jun would have been frozen by this energy if it were not for the power of gluttony, which enabled him to transform the yin, primarily the purest form of ice elemental energy that makes up the aura from the spring, into pure qi.
The resting soul of Chuchu, the Fire Elemental Viper King, rests deep within Leng Jun's body. Without divinity to refill Chuchu's soul, it is said to be impossible to awaken it. Tun Shizhe informed Leng Jun that in order to obtain a strand of divinity, he would have to fight the sole Elemental Emperor. However, the majority of the strand would be consumed by the power of gluttony.
Who would have thought that Chuchu would get a great deal of divinity from Lord Chaos, the strongest soul fragment of the God of Destruction, in order to aid in his awakening? Chuchu had awakened up at this very time, even though he was meant to be in deep sleep. He was startled to sense a malevolent aura emanating from his master's physique.
Chuchu's thoughts: {Hmm... Why is there such an evil energy inside A'Jun's body?! Ah, this is that evil aura I felt before. I didn't completely expel it. I must push it out!}
Suddenly, a powerful surge of elemental energy had appeared inside Leng Jun's body, which was felt by the power of gluttony. Unfortunately for the power of gluttony, not only was his original master currently away, his current host had more trust from the one who is pushing him out of the current host body. Moreover, he can't abruptly leave this mysterious spring.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He needed to focus hard on devouring this absolute elemental qi and being distracted meant he would get frozen and destroyed. He had no choice but to let himself get pushed out.
The moment the connection of Leng Jun and the power of gluttony was cut off, Leng Jun woke up abruptly and saw his Chuchu materializing his soul in reality. It was in a completely solid state, except for not having a physical body, Chuchu had also matured a lot. A divine aura from a Sovereign God was enough for his soul not only to heal but also to mature.
He is now a huge red-orange fire elemental Viper King wrapping its body around Leng Jun.
"Chuchu...?"
Chuchu said, {A'Jun use your wings. We need to escape from here!}
ROAAAR~
Leng Jun, who was still in a state of shock, just followed what he was told and unfurled his elemental wings. With a huge red viper with wings following after him, they left the south region and headed to the north. Fortunately, the power of gluttony, which couldn't separate itself from the mysterious spring, didn't chase after them.
He can't leave the spring until he devours all the energy within it. It can only roar in anger, but wasn't able to do anything against the fleeing pair.

At the Beast Star,
Deep Cliff in the rainforest...
At the most dangerous forest region on the beast planet, a deep whose end cannot be peered upon. The crevice was so deep that one could only see endless darkness under the cliff. At the wall of the cliff was a cluster of small flowers with budding colors of white, purple and blue. The flower itself looks ordinary and so small that it blends into the grass at the cliff.
Who would have thought that these flowers had the ability to make one go crazy?
A small bird landed on this cluster of starflowers and started picking on the small bugs that were feasting on it. There's a small praying mantis living with these starflowers when a bird invaded its territory. The bird teased the praying mantis, thinking it was its prey who would have thought that this praying mantis was not like others.
It swung its blade towards the bird with such speed that it caught the small bird off guard and got itself beheaded.
The little praying mantis drags its newly attained prey. At the hidden center of this beautiful cluster of chaos flowers is a small pile of little animals' remnant bones. Obviously, I was eaten by this little praying mantis, which is not different from an ordinary insect except that its eyes had turned gray instead of black.

Tun Shizhe had arrived. He tried to peer into this small star, trying to sense chaotic energy. If there is a way for him to become as powerful as the original World Eater, feeding on chaos energy is the best choice, as his power was born from it.
"Hm, I can't feel anything! That brat isn't lying to me, right? Tsk! I should check just for sure," mumbles Tun Shizhe as he enters the Beast Star and descends to that world.
Because of his breaking the law by entering this lower-class realm, the Heavenly Laws of the Beast Planet intended to impose prohibitions on him. Tun Shizhe had been encircled by innumerable golden-colored chains from his neck to his ankles as soon as he had stepped foot in the Beast Star's sky. The chains even sealed his ability of gluttony.
The star as a whole is within the jurisdiction of the heavenly rules of this area, despite the immense disparity in strength. It is reckless to oppose the will of the world within one's own domain. Furthermore, Tun Shizhe would find it challenging to fight it at this point because of his injuries.
He was therefore forced to let the majority of his strength be sealed while he was on this planet of the lower realm. Tun Shizhe was only allowed to land on the Beast Planet by the Heavenly Laws when they sensed that he was not resisting his limitations.
As soon as Tun Shizhe landed on the land, a crater appeared under his feet. Due to the restraint on him, he felt that his body was heavier in this star than in space.
Tun Shizhe said, "If I can't find what I came for, this world I shall destroy." As soon as he said that, thunder fell onto him from the sky, but it was eaten by him.
Rumbles~ Crackles!
That was a tribulation lightning used by the havens to give divine punishment in this world, but as expected, it had no effect on existence beyond this world, like Tun Shizhe and the Foreign Gods. A few more lightnings kept falling on Tun Shizhe, but the heavenly laws gave up as it didn't work on him at all. He chooses to ignore this bastard instead.
Tun Shizhe looked around the planet, yet he couldn't even find a trace of the Chaos power that Lord Chaos had mentioned. He was about to get crazy in anger. He should have known. The aura of chaos can only be felt by those who were born with it.
Lord Chaos, being a soul fragment of the God of Destruction, is capable of sensing it, but he who is born from the remnant of the World Eater couldn't feel it at all.
Even though the original World Eater was born from chaos itself, Tun Shizhe, as a mere fragment of it, couldn't sense the raw chaos energy. Chaos energy is born from nature and the origin itself, and only those who are born from the origin can feel it. He is born from gluttony, and even though this power is a branch of chaos energy, it is different all together.
Tun Shizhe spent days, weeks, and months on the Beast Planet, even roaming around this star, but still couldn't find the chaos energy he came for.
"I should have brought Chaos with me. But based on his personality, he definitely wouldn't make a move unless it was something he can't take away. He already knew I wouldn't find it on my own and that he can't take it away, but still told me just to make fun of me! That damn brat!" Tun Shizhe is so pissed just thinking about how Chaos would have reacted after he fell for his trap.
"He must be laughing his ass out now. Tsk! Whatever, since I can't take it away, it's better to just destroy it all."
Tun Shizhe wanted to devour the world qi of this world to make it slowly die due to a lack of qi. The wills of the heavens seem to feel his thoughts, and the chain of restriction on him has gotten stronger, as if it wanted to use all the laws of this small star to seal him in here. This was actually a battle of time.
If Tun Shizhe devours enough world qi from this world before he is imprisoned, he will win. If he failed, nothing would happen to him, as he can still devour the energy of this world, albeit slower. That means he would stay in this world for a while and trick aborigines to find the chaos energy for him.
Who would have thought that just as they were about to clash with one another, new presences arrived at the boundaries of this star? Tun Shizhe immediately noticed who the new presences were. They are the God of Destruction, Hei Anjing, and the God of Void, Ye Xiajie. Both are using a mortal vessel enhanced to house their god soul.
Tun Shizhe smirked and said, "It's him. If he is here, that means there is really a source of chaos energy in this world. That brat Chaos didn't lie to me. Haha~" The space around Tun Shizhe rippled, and his power of gluttony had been completely sealed. He had also hidden most of his aura, and right now, he is no different from a mortal like others.
Not far from him, he saw a group of halflings that were imprisoned in a cell by the Beastmen before they left the planet. These are the slaves the beast race possesses in this world. After suddenly disappearing from the eyes of the heavens, Tun Shizhe chose to blend with these mortals, observe the two who just arrived, and help him find the chaos energy for himself.

Outside the Beast Planet
The Zerg Empress and the Zerg Emperor stood above the star, their wings flapping on their backs. Zhi Yue was no longer in his humanoid form, but in his avatar form, a small moon. The two gods were observing the Beast Planet, which looked desolated at first as most of its residents had gone away somewhere else.
Emperor Augustus Kaiser asked, "How is it, baby? Is it in this world? This should be the beast star that those Beastmen live into."
"Hm. It's here, but..." Empress Titania peered down into the world and saw something odd, but he was unable to identify it precisely for some reason. Nevertheless, he could not help but smile at the unknown, like though he had discovered something fascinating.
The God of Void held his wife's hand and said, "Don't worry. No matter what happens, I will protect you."
Such a serious vow, even though he had heard this promise multiple times in his life, the God of Destruction still feels delighted in his heart. He grips the hand that held his and smiles, "I know. I believe you, A'Xia."
The couple looked at each other with love and tenderness. They held each other's hands as if they only had each other. System Yue, who felt like a glowing light bulb, couldn't help but comment.
[I don't mind the Lord flirting, as always, but... Should we go in for now?]
The couple couldn't help but turn their heads at the silly moon, who couldn't read the mood. In the end, the God of Destruction grabbed him with a smirk and threw him directly inside the Beast Star without any hesitation.
"Go. Update this star's database and allow our entrance," said the Zerg Empress.
System Yue, who is now falling into the Beast Star like a shooting star, shouted back, [There is no need to throw me in like you are fucking pitching! AAAHHH!!!]
