After failing to establish a second connection with Demon Unit-01 in the Styx star system, Shinigami Kal immediately initiated a connection attempt with Demon Unit-02.
Upon learning from other demons that Morgan had already commandeered Demon Unit-01 and set course for Blue Planet first,
Shinigami Kal instantly realized something had gone terribly wrong with Morgan!
He did intend to lure Morgan toward the pre-nuclear civilization of Blue Planet, hoping to draw Guy there as well.
But his plan had barely taken its first step.
Guy was still at Melodious Heavens, yet Morgan had already lost contact!
The remnants of the Superman Institute on Blue Planet were merely newly awakened bearers of the Celestial River Gene. As for Solar Empress Reina, she was merely a woman in her early twenties.
Even the Monkey King, who once clashed violently with the Deva Path of Rixiang,
lacked the power to completely sever Morgan's communication channels.
Who could've done this?
Could it be that the Deva Path of Rixiang had secretly prepared another trap on Blue Planet? Or perhaps the Superman Institute still held some hidden ace?
"Liang Bing..."
Shinigami Kal raised his head, gazing toward an oil painting hanging on the palace wall.
In the painting, Heavenly Omen King Liang Bing stood majestically, smiling slightly, her flushed cheeks brimming with confidence and pride.
A flash of memory flickered across his eyes.
Shinigami Kal immediately used the Big Clock to pinpoint the last known coordinates of Demon Unit-01's signal loss.
Blue Planet wasn't large.
To the best of his knowledge, there weren't any authentic Primordial God-tier combatants openly active there either.
Unknown enemies always caused unease, but facing just a small planet like this, perhaps a single planet-wide assault would reveal everything.
Only by incorporating all external variables into the plan could his ultimate objective have a chance of success!
"Huang Village?"
Shinigami Kal's eyes flickered.
Immediately afterward, he began contacting the Tao Tie fleet and Giant Wolf fleet currently en route toward the Milky Way galaxy.
"Pharaoh, Howell, has your vanguard reached near Blue Planet yet?"
"My Lord, our advanced scouting units have arrived at the designated massive space wormhole location. We plan to strike Blue Planet tomorrow morning..."
"Now, go here instead! Find Morgan!"
"My Lord, we obey Your Divine Decree."
Pharaoh and Howell accepted their commands.
"Engage large-scale spatial curvature drive across your fleets. I will use the Big Clock to assist and accelerate your advance."
Shinigami Kal's voice came again.
Though still maintaining that same calm tone, detached and emotionless,
for those who'd followed Shinigami Kal for countless years now, they could sense the underlying urgency in his voice.
"My Lord, that would require an immense amount of energy. Just for a pre-nuclear civilization..."
Pharaoh's eyes shifted subtly beneath his exoskeletal armor.
He already realized something extremely important must've happened on Blue Planet concerning Shinigami Kal.
The Tao Tie civilization's allegiance to Shinigami Kal was not one of blind servitude—they were not here merely to serve as beasts of burden; they had ambitions of their own!
"The universe shall enter the Void Era, and you shall follow me, becoming one with the Void itself."
Shinigami Kal effortlessly read Pharaoh's mind.
He didn't care about such trivial matters at all.
Besides, with the combat power of the Taotie and Giant Wolf, even if they found Morgana, it would still likely require the use of a Void Engine to extract any meaningful results from the confrontation.
"Thank you for your generosity, my god."
Pharaoh's lips twisted into a cruel smirk as he immediately ordered the fleet to fully engage space-time curvature propulsion.
"It's an honor to follow in your footsteps."
Howell eagerly jumped in with flattery.
Though they didn't know much about Void Engines,
they still knew these were elite weapons reserved for the highest-ranking disciples of Shinigami Kal!
Still...
There was definitely something off about that bastard Pharaoh's faith in Lord Kal!
"Pharaoh! You greedy fool whose head is filled with nothing but self-interest! You're only fit to smell Kal's stench!"
"Howell, stop pretending to be something you're not! Without me, you wouldn't even get close enough to sniff Kal's dirty soles!"
Pharaoh's eyes darkened.
His decision had already been made.
He needed to obtain the Void Engine before Howell did. When that happened, he'd be the first one to cut Howell down!

Blue Planet, Huang Village.
The Male Soldiers' Squad gathered around the barbecue pit, drinking beer while eating barbecued meats, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Their conversation shifted from cosmic civilizations to ancient myths.
Eventually, Angel Zui and Rose even began discussing cosmetics, fashion, and clothing on Blue Planet.
Kei Yamanaka retrieved several recliners from the Primordial Realm.
Half-closing his eyes, he leaned back in the chair, gazing at the night sky, brimming with countless stars.
In his heart, he mentally ordered the system to use up his three remaining Keyword Draw opportunities.
[Congratulations, Host! Skill listings acquired: Purple-Tier Trait 'Moon Lion,' Gray-Rank Trait 'June First Child Calamity,' and Black-Tier Trait 'Debt Ridden.']
[Moon Lion (Purple)]: Under the full moon, your most genuine and wild power will awaken. In Moon Lion Form, strength, speed, and abilities receive significant boosts; combat instincts, neural response speed, dynamic vision, battle resolve, and aura of charisma are significantly enhanced. Duration depends on the individual's inherent qualities.
[June First Child Calamity (Gray)]: While others celebrate holidays, you face disasters. Before reaching 18% of your life span, each June 1st brings significantly increased probabilities of lethal threats, encounters with formidable enemies, misfortunes, injuries, and fractures.
[Debt Ridden (Black)]: Poverty defines your present, and destitution awaits your future. Wealth flees from you like the plague, and even Wealth God Cai Shen scratches his head when seeing you. Your fortune coefficient plummets—regardless of cultivation tier, combat level, or income-generating capacity, various unexpected events will swiftly deplete your resources and saddle you with crushing debt.
"Great, same old style..."
Looking at the three traits drawn, Kei Yamanaka showed no surprise whatsoever.
As far as he could tell, the [Moon Lion] was likely derived from the Mink Tribe of the One Piece realm.
Specifically, there was a little rabbit named Carrot who had left a particularly deep impression on him.
She herself was an adorable, fluffy little rabbit.
But once she activated her Moon Lion state, she transformed into a cool, aloof, long-haired rabbit goddess, and her strength surged several times over!
Although at this stage, such skill listings no longer hold much value for Kei Yamanaka.
They would still make solid gifts or rewards for completing the Demigod Trials.
As for the skill [June First Child Calamity], for immortals, it would likely be considered a nightmare-tier fate-related ability!
Eighteen percent of total lifespan!
Should Reina obtain it, she'd likely spend every Children's Day for millennia to come in sheer dread and hardship!
Then there's the remaining Black-Tier Trait [Debt Ridden].
Though not life-threatening, being broke while drowning in debt would undoubtedly drive anyone to the brink of madness!
"When are they going to create a Skill Conversion Card?"
Kei Yamanaka mused, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
The [Debt Ridden] trait clearly involves financial fortune.
If he could transform it into a positive trait and enhance its effect using the Heavenly-Earth Primordial Sovereign, chances are high that he could gain another conceptual ability.
"Mr. Han, does your earlier cooperation proposal with the angels still stand?"
Angel Yan turned her gaze toward Kei Yamanaka, who was lounging on the recliner.
"Getting impatient?"
Upon hearing this, Kei Yamanaka raised an eyebrow with a slight smirk.
Clearly, his sudden acquisition of the Second Biological Engine and his ability to crack angel genetics had unsettled Kaixia and Hexi.
After all, both had reigned as queens for tens of thousands of years.
They both understood that if they kept delaying, he'd eventually take their technology by force—whether they cooperated or not.
Better to trade these technologies for something useful
than lose everything blindly!
"Your arrival has inevitably ushered the known universe into the Void Era," Angel Yan said with a flicker of helplessness in her beautiful eyes.
"The era cannot be halted. Kal-El's research progresses far faster than yours."
Shaking his head, Kei Yamanaka raised his hand and transmitted data converted from the magic knowledge of Kamar-Taj, rendering it understandable to the angels.
Even though he now possessed the Quantum Engine combining Anti-Void and Void capabilities,
that didn't mean he no longer needed other angelic technologies.
Kaixia's Sacred Body genetic technology, Research Achievements on the Fourth-Generation Divine Body, Second Biological Engine manufacturing techniques, celestial computer research surpassing demons', and Dark Silver Manipulation Technology...
All of these held considerable value.
Obtaining these technologies would let him empower his people greatly, without needing to rely on skill listings at all.
Continuing cooperation brought only benefits and no downsides.
"You… just transmitted it directly?!"
Shock flashed across Angel Yan's flushed face.
She originally assumed he would bargain again with the angels after obtaining the Second Biological Engine and demon technologies.
Maybe even demand the angels first open the Sacred Knowledge Treasury of Queen Kaixia.
She hadn't expected him to act so decisively.
