“…”

Shooting the sun?

Such a shocking thing actually happened?

The sun in the sky was destroyed by an arrow shot from the starry sky?

Resisting the urge to mock, Su Jingxing calmed himself down and continued to listen.

Wang Peifeng’s voice was trembling. “On that day, everyone on Sea Star was dumbfounded. Although the blue light arrow that struck the sun quickly disappeared and the sun did not explode, in less than a year after, the sun quickly stopped burning.

“As a result, the starfish first stopped spinning and suffered countless casualties. Then, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, all kinds of natural disasters erupted, and countless more died.

“After stabilizing with much difficulty, the global population of 10 billion was reduced to less than two billion.

“Without the sun, the two billion odd people won’t live long either.

“In order to ensure the survival of future generations, our ancestors thought of all kinds of methods. Some built spaceships, some built underground cities, and some researched artificial suns. Some people did build small spaceships to escape the Star Sea. More than ten underground cities were also built. The artificial suns were also successful, but they exploded in a few months.

“Humans can’t hide in the underground city forever, yet the surface will always be cold and dark. Civilization will be wiped out sooner or later.

“For this, a talented ancestor thought of a way from an ancient book. Push the starfish to go to other galaxies with suns and find a new home.

“This ancestor found an ancient and powerful array formation in the ancient records, the Twelve Almighties Blood Cosmic Array!”

“If this array formation can be activated, it will automatically absorb cosmic energy as its driving force and push Sea Star to fly in the universe.

“That ancestor first convinced most of the leaders at that time, then led people to try hundreds of times before finally successfully opening the array formation.

“However, if we want to push Sea Star, the range of the Twelve Almighties Blood Cosmic Array has to be very large, at least ten thousand mous.

“The size of the array formation is secondary. The key is, to activate such a large-scale array, the blood sacrifice required…”

“Blood sacrifice?” Su Jingxing interrupted. “Blood sacrifice is required to activate the array formation?”

“Y-yes.” Wang Peifeng’s voice was trembling. Han Lei and the others were also shaking.

“The Twelve Almighties Blood Cosmic Array is an ancient demonic array. It is indeed powerful, but opening it requires blood sacrifice, and it has to be human blood. The effects of the blood of other beasts are too poor, and the chances of success are too low. Using human blood has a 100% success rate.

“To push Sea Star to move in the universe, 13 of the Twelve Almighties Blood Cosmic Array is required. To open each array formation, one… one hundred million people have to be sacrificed!

At this point, Wang Peifeng’s tears fell silently.

Liu Zhi’ang, Han Lei, and the others were trembling, their eyes were also filled with tears.

The three female team members were sobbing uncontrollably.

Even Su Jingxing was shocked to the core.

One Twelve Almighties Blood Cosmic Array sacrificed 100 million people.

13 array formations, a blood sacrifice of 1.3 billion people!

90% of the people who survived on Sea Star actually died in the blood sacrifice.

1.3 billion people. This was 1.3 billion humans, not 1.3 billion chickens and ducks.

It was shocking to think that so many people were willing to go to their deaths.

Basically, only one person from each family could survive.

Draw lots?

Such matters could not be decided by drawing lots, and no one would be willing. They could only do so voluntarily.

Of course, Wang Peifeng and the others did not know the exact details, nor did they want to know.

In any case, since they were born and alive, and Sea Star had been moving in the universe for more than a thousand years, it meant that 1.3 billion people had indeed been sacrificed.

“No!”

All of a sudden, Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows. A thought struck him, and his eyes lit up. He broke the silence and said, “I didn’t sense any energy wrapped around this planet. The 13 Twelve Almighties Blood Cosmic Array are already gone?”

“Y-Yes.”

Wang Peifeng took a deep breath and replied, “The Twelve Almighties Blood Cosmic Array stopped operating more than 30 years ago. We tried to repair them, but we failed. The reason why Sea Star can continue to move is because of inertia…

“The inertia allowed it to continue drifting for more than 30 years. Are you sure?” Su Jingxing asked calmly.

Wang Peifeng was speechless.

Liu Zhi’ang, Han Lei, and the others were also at a loss for words.

That’s right. Although inertia was present, how could it have allowed the planet to drift for more than 30 years?

“Most importantly, during these 30 years… no, it might not be just 30 years, but hundreds of years! During these hundreds of years, Sea Star had never been captured by other planets during its drift?” Su Jingxing continued to ask.

Wang Peifeng remained muted.

Sea Star had been moving for more than a thousand years.

Perhaps its trajectory had already been set early in its journey.

Sea Star only needed to drift along the route.

However, in the subsequent centuries, the probability of it deviating from the route was too high.

The probability of Sea Star being captured by other planets during its flight was also very high.

In the end, after more than a thousand years, Sea Star was safe and sound. It continued to drift and did not encounter any capture.

What was going on?

“Sea Star sure has a lot of secrets.” Su Jingxing sighed as he pondered.

Wang Peifeng opened his mouth but did not know what to say.

“Well, does Perfected One suspect that Sea Star has other secrets?” Liu Zhi’ang couldn’t help but ask. “The reason why the Sea Star can move isn’t because of the Twelve Almighties Blood Cosmic Arrays? And 1.3 billion people didn’t die back then?”

“That’s not right,” Han Lei continued. “We’ve all been to a ruin of the Twelve Almighties Blood Cosmic Array. It was indeed huge and unbelievable. This means that the array formation really existed before. It’s impossible for it to be fake.”

“Sea Star has been drifting for so many years. How can it remain safe and sound all this time? Not even a meteorite impact occurred?” countered Liu Zhi’ang.

“Well…” Han Lei was speechless.

“There’s a secret! Hehe, I didn’t expect our Sea Star to have such a big secret!”

Liu Zhi’ang became inexplicably excited. “If it weren’t for the Perfected One’s reminder, we probably wouldn’t have thought that there might be other reasons as to why Sea Star could move. Back then, 1.3 billion people might not have died for the sake of the Twelve Almighties Blood Cosmic Arrays!”

“It’s fine for you to say this here, but don’t blurt it when we return to the underground city!” Wang Peifeng glared at him.

No matter what the truth was back then, the deeds left behind in the underground city were that 1.3 billion martyrs had willingly died for their descendants.

These 1.3 billion people were more than noble.

Liu Zhi’ang’s words were blasphemy and an insult to the martyrs. If others heard them, they wouldn’t be able to atone for their crimes even if they were beaten to death.

“…It was a slip of the tongue.”

Liu Zhi’ang returned to his senses and laughed awkwardly, not daring to speak again.

Su Jingxing also smiled and did not continue.

The truth was important, but it wasn’t important either.

“If Sea Star continues to drift now, how far are you from the galaxy you’re going to?” Su Jingxing asked.

Su Jingxing had detected Sea Star through the Cosmic Tower on Earth Star. It was very close to Earth Star.

“To be honest, I don’t know.”

Wang Peifeng replied in a low voice, “Now that we’re on the surface, we’re basically mainly patrolling and scouting. Very few people pay attention to the route of Sea Star now.”

At this point, Wang Peifeng recalled his initial goal. He looked up at Su Jingxing and said hopefully, “Um, I-I wonder if you can bring us away from the Sea Star?”

“We are willing to pay any price, even if it means becoming a slave. From now on, our lives belong to you!”

Wang Peifeng’s expression was solemn.

Liu Zhi’ang was also solemn, while Han Lei and the others were dumbfounded.

Leave Sea Star? Sell themselves as slaves?

“What use do I have for your lives?” Su Jingxing chuckled.

Hearing this, Wang Peifeng bowed his head, his face filled with desolation. Liu Zhi’ang also sighed.

Su Jingxing was unwilling, as expected.

Yes, why should he save them?

Given Su Jingxing’s powerful divine power that allowed him to shuttle through space and walk freely in the environment of -100 degrees Celsius, what do the fates of these people he met for the first time mean to him?

Why should he help them?

Slaves?

Given Su Jingxing’s strength, would he lack slaves?

To put it bluntly, they were not qualified to be slaves!
