**Chapter 382: Face and Piloting a Spaceship**
Within the newly completed Doushuai Palace in Great Luo Heaven, a raging fire burned beneath the massive Yin Yang Eight Trigram Furnace. Tang Song, clad in a Daoist Robe, held a Jade Plantain Fan and sat on a Meditation Cushion before the Eight Trigram Furnace, fanning the flames within.
Kane stood behind Tang Song. Even though his Physical Body had cultivated to the Diamond Indestructible stage, he could still feel the High Temperature emanating from the furnace fire from over ten meters away.
Kane couldn't help but look at the furnace fire. As the flames rose, he seemed to see a Star emitting Light and heat.
Thirty-six streaks of Golden Light flickered. Thirty-six Yellow Turban Strongmen, bare-chested with bulging muscles on their arms, their lower bodies appearing as a mass of yellow cloud, and yellow turbans wrapped around their heads, shuttled through Doushuai Palace. From their Five Yin Pouches, they took out tons upon tons of exotic alloy metals and various Materials, sending them into the Eight Trigram Furnace.
Among these were precious and rare Metal Materials like Meteorite Heart Cores, Vibranium, and Adamantium. There were as many as seven or eight Meteorite Heart Cores, the Material used to forge Mjolnir, thrown into the furnace. Vibranium and Adamantium were counted in tons. The Star within the furnace emitted infinite heat, refining these Materials into masses of nearly gaseous Strong Light in the blink of an eye.
Tang Song fanned the Jade Plantain Fan in his hand. Streaks of Breeze fanned out and entered the furnace, causing the masses of gaseous Strong Light to spin and whirl. They merged into the Star's Heart Core. Within the Star's Heart Core, which was tens of millions of degrees high, a brass Bell the size of a handbell bobbed up and down. As the brass Bell continuously consumed the masses of gaseous Strong Light, it became increasingly heavy. Its mass even exceeded that of the entire Earth.
Around the brass Bell, more than a dozen Magic Treasures emitting various colored Radiance were suspended. Battle Axes, Military Knives, Daggers, and Rapiers, these Magic Treasures were also simultaneously absorbing the gaseous Strong Light masses.
"Ego," Tang Song said after hearing Kane recount the full story of the Fallen Star. Hearing this familiar name, he suddenly had a whim and faintly sensed that this Ego was somehow connected to him.
He made finger calculations and quickly understood the Reason behind it. "There are indeed some loose ends that haven't been cleaned up! You don't need to worry about Ego's Matters; I will handle the rest!"
"Boss, I understand! What do you plan to do with the Raccoon you caught?" Kane nodded, then looked towards the cage in the Corner, where a sleeping Raccoon was held. This cage was the one he had just brought into Doushuai Palace.
"Leave him here for now; I'll handle him later. You go ahead and get busy!"
Kane nodded, looked back at the Eight Trigram Furnace, then picked up a few Jade Boxes and turned to leave.
After Kane left Doushuai Palace, a gust of wind wrapped around him, and a mass of cloud light rose directly under his feet, heading towards the South Heavenly Gate. By the time he exited the South Heavenly Gate, he had already arrived at the Fallen Star.
Meanwhile, as Kane left Doushuai Palace, passed through the South Heavenly Gate, and returned to the Fallen Star, within Doushuai Palace, Tang Song continued fanning the Plantain Fan. Above his head, however, a black and white Auspicious Cloud appeared. The Auspicious Cloud, about an acre in size, had three White Lotuses on it. The Lotus flowers were half-open, each supporting a Taiji Diagram, a Chaos Bell, and two Sword Implements.
Beneath the three White Lotuses was a Pitch black area, where twelve flags faintly rose and fell within the Black Cloud. Phantoms of the Twelve Ancestral Magi, including Gonggong, Zhurong, Rushou, Jumang, Dijiang, Xuanming, and Houtu, were faintly roaring.
At this moment, above the Auspicious Cloud on Tang Song's head, a woman in a blood-red palace dress walked down from the black cloud and bowed to Tang Song.
"Fellow Daoist! Thank you for your trouble!"
Tang Song nodded towards Nv Ba.
Nv Ba's face showed no Expression. She said to Tang Song, "Master is too kind; it is merely within my duty!"
"Innate Planet Spirits are rare even in the Jambudvīpa World. The forty-eight thousand Star Spirits born from the Innate Qi back then were affiliated with the Ancient Heavenly Court, becoming the forty-eight thousand Star Gods and Malevolent Spirits of the Ministry of Combat, managing the ancient Space and sorting the Star spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth for the Heavenly Court..."
"Ego being able to fuse with a Planet Spirit is also an Opportunity! My Heavenly Court is newly established, but in the future, it will also set up a Ministry of Combat, following the example of the Ancient Heavenly Court, to manage these vast Star Zones!"
"Although I don't like his conduct, I will give him a chance for the sake of Fellow Daoist's Face! In that world, there is a Universe with Zerg, Humans, and a chaotic battle between the three races. If he can conquer this Universe, I can promise him a position as a Star Lord!"
After bowing to Tang Song, Nv Ba turned into a streak of Red Light and disappeared within Doushuai Palace. This Physical Body of Nv Ba was formed from the deceased Celestial. That Celestial Corpse was refined by Tang Song into a Body-Protecting Armored Corpse. Later, the Body-Protecting Armored Corpse broke through the boundary of life and death and developed its own independent Divine Sense, becoming Nv Ba.
In the Jambudvīpa World, Great Experts all like to refine Incarnations. Just like the Buddhist Venerable has the Five Great Vidyarajas: Acala Vidyaraja, Trailokyavijaya Vidyaraja, Kundali Vidyaraja, Yamantaka Vidyaraja, and Vajrayaksha Vidyaraja, and thirty-six Buddhist forms, the Daoist Venerable has eighty-one transformations... However, there are differences between Incarnations. For example, the so-called Second Nascent Divinity refined by Ordinary Cultivators, or the thirty-six Zombie Incarnations in Heshan Dao.
Although the Second Nascent Divinity is profound, it is inseparable from the Main Body. If the Main Body is killed, the Divine Sense of the Second Nascent Divinity will dissipate. Whether it's the Thirty-six Supreme Heavenly Corpse Techniques in Heshan Dao or the demons refined using the Asura Path Technique, they are merely sentient Magic Treasures.
Only the Incarnations cultivated by Great Divine Ability Users who have slain the Three Corpses are truly infinitely profound, seizing the achievements of Heaven and Earth's creation. Each Incarnation is a completely new self, indistinguishable, capable of existing independently yet mutually connected.
Each is a separate existence with its own thoughts, its own Behavior, a living, independent being.
If one disappears, the others existing will not be affected. Although their Magic Power may be high or low, there is no primary or secondary; they are all the self, profound and mysterious, which is the Gate of All Wonders.
Of course, Nv Ba is not Tang Song's Incarnation. The Incarnations he chose are the Twelve Ancestral Magi. Nv Ba is merely his Dharma Protector, just like the Great Golden-Winged Peng Eagle beside the Buddhist Venerable!
Nv Ba's birth was also thanks to the deceased Celestial, who was Ego's mother body. Nv Ba's Consciousness was born on that Celestial Corpse, so in a sense, the two are somewhat related as mother and son.
This is also the Reason why Tang Song said he would give Nv Ba some consideration!
Furthermore, Ego's Ability does have some unique aspects, so Tang Song handed the Matters over to Nv Ba to handle. However, what Tang Song valued more was Ego's method of absorbing the Energy of an entire Planet. He would take seventy percent of the harvest from that Universe from Star Wars! Tang Song, in his Daoist Robe, looked at the Eight Trigram Furnace faintly emitting Golden Light. With a practiced gesture, a Cigar appeared in his hand.
Smoking a Cigar, Tang Song sat on the Meditation Cushion, playing with the Cross in his hand, watching the Yellow Turban Strongmen open the furnace and collect the refined Magic Treasures.
As the Eight Trigram Furnace opened, streaks of golden fire pillars shot up into the Sky, and scorching heatwaves swept in all directions, but they were instantly suppressed by the Formation within Doushuai Palace.
Masses of Golden Light shot out from within the Eight Trigram Furnace, accompanied by muffled Thunder sounds. Phantoms of various kinds could faintly be seen within these light balls: White Tiger, Black Dragon, Zhu Yan. Clearly, these Golden Light balls were at least at the Void Spirit Magic Treasure level. As soon as these Magic Treasures exited the Eight Trigram Furnace, they immediately scattered in all directions, attempting to flee. However, the surrounding Space had already been sealed off. Thirty-six Yellow Turban Strongmen, pulling Electric Nets condensed from purple heavenly lightning in their hands, cast them towards the Eight Trigram Furnace. The moment these Golden Light balls were struck by the purple lightning net, their protective Golden Light instantly disappeared, transforming into Magic Treasures emitting streaks of radiant light.
The thirty-six Yellow Turban Strongmen took down these Magic Treasures trapped in the purple lightning net one by one, put them into Jade Boxes, affixed Talismans personally drawn by Tang Song, and then respectfully placed these Jade Boxes on the shelves in Doushuai Palace's Side Hall.
The style of these Jade Boxes was exactly the same as the one in Kane's hand. And judging by the number of these Jade Boxes on the shelves, this was not the first time Tang Song had opened the furnace! "Gurgle!" The little Raccoon Rocket, who was sleeping soundly in the cage, quietly opened a slit in his Eyes. He secretly surveyed the surrounding Environment, confirming that he had left that Office.
He just didn't know if this was still the Fallen Star, or how Groot, Drax, and Gamora were doing!
Thinking of Groot falling into Yondu's hands to save him, the little Raccoon felt a surge of anxiety. He needed to leave here as quickly as possible.
"You're awake!"
A Voice suddenly sounded. The little Raccoon was startled. He looked up and saw a Figure standing not far away with his back to him.
Seeing that pretending to be unconscious had been seen through, the little Raccoon quickly jumped up. Fortunately, the cage was high enough. He leaped up, grabbed the bars of the cage, and roared loudly: "Hey, no matter who you are, let me go, or else I'll let you taste Grandpa Rocket's formidable power!"
After Kane returned to the Fallen Star, with his order, twelve Level 3 Warships flew out from the Fallen Star's Spaceport.
These warships, modified from active Kree warships, flew directly towards Sovereign after leaving the Fallen Star, following the navigation route on the warships.
In the Command Room, Kane was having the Captain guide him in independently piloting this thousand-meter-long Warship. Adam lay lazily on a Chair in the Command Room, staring blankly at King Ghidorah.
The pair both had a faint ominous premonition in their hearts. This premonition soon came true.
After learning the piloting skills of the Spaceship, Kane directly piloted the Spaceship and entered berserk mode. A nearly thousand-meter long Mothership rushed and crashed through the Universe. Upon encountering an Asteroid Belt, it not only didn't slow down but even directly activated the energy field protective shield and crashed straight into it.
Adam watched, his muscles tensed up. He was different from Space Beasts like King Ghidorah opposite him. If something really happened to the Spaceship, he couldn't guarantee that he would survive in the vacuum environment of space.
King Ghidorah, shrunk into Lizard Form, gloatingly watched Adam with his three dragon heads. He sympathetically flapped his Wings, came above Adam's Head, and used his Wings to pat Adam's Head.
Inside the Command Room, Kane, who was controlling the Spaceship, looked back at Adam and said in a deep voice, "No need to be nervous, I have already learned how to control this Spaceship."
Before Kane finished speaking, the Spaceship then crashed into something unknown, causing a violent shaking.
The two exchanged a glance, both were somewhat silent. Then, a complete set of dark silver Armor appeared on Adam's Body, including helmet, shoulder guards, armguards, hand guards, chest plate, backplate, skirt armor, leg guards, knee guards, and boots.
This set of dark silver Armor on Adam was ancient in style. The connections between the various parts of the Armor showed no seams. Worn on his Body, it faintly exuded a hundred paces of might and ten thousand fathoms of Killing Intent. This was precisely the Armor Kane brought back from Great Luo Heaven's Doushuai Palace.
However, worn on Adam's Body at this moment, in Kane's Eyes, it was an extreme lack of trust in his piloting skills. So, Kane, in order to prove himself, silently walked to the Mothership's main control console and accelerated the Spaceship, which had been switched to manual piloting mode, to the extreme.
Thus, the eleven warships following behind him witnessed along the way what it meant to have sparks and lightning. The Asteroid Belts along the way, unknown asteroids, and some Detectors and Aircraft were extremely unlucky.
Like pitiful sampans crushed by a speeding ten-thousand-ton giant ship, they ended up utterly destroyed. "Mr., Sovereign is just ahead!"
Finally, after three Wormhole jumps, the Captain, carrying the hopes of everyone on the ship, stumbled into the Driver's Cab. Heaven have mercy, after piloting warships for decades, for the first time, he actually realized he got seasick.
After hearing the Captain's words, Kane hadn't spoken yet, but Adam, however, excitedly jumped over directly and gave Kane a hug.
"Big Brother Kane, we've arrived! Let the Spaceship stop here, and we'll secretly infiltrate the Sovereign Homeworld!"
Kane was somewhat reluctantly touching the Spaceship's control stick. Just then, the Alarm Sound suddenly rang out.
"Not good! We've been locked onto by the Sovereign patrol fleet!"
The experienced Captain quickly discovered the problem and found the Sovereign unmanned fighter jets that had locked onto them on the Spaceship's monitoring system.
Kane, at this moment, excitedly clenched his hand: "Take them down! We'll charge straight to the Sovereign Homeworld!"
With Kane's order, the Sovereign unmanned fighter jets had just sent out an inquiry notification when they were met with a concentrated Focused Fire Attack from the twelve warships.
Under the simultaneous firing of ten thousand cannons from the twelve Level 3 Warships, a few Sovereign unmanned fighter jets on routine patrol were blasted into fine space dust without any ability to fight back.
As the twelve warships broke through the Sovereign patrol, the front suddenly lit up, and a Planet emitting Golden Light appeared before everyone's Eyes.
However, the Sovereign also noticed this group of Intruders at this moment. A dense swarm of Golden Light Spots flew out from the Planet Surface. These were precisely the Sovereign's specialty, unmanned fighter jets.
Judging by the number, there were hundreds of thousands of these unmanned fighter jets. If a space battle were to truly break out, these fighter jets, just by sheer numbers, with one Energy Cannon shot per jet, would be enough to blast Kane and the others into dust.
Kane looked at the dense swarm of Golden Light Spots flying out from the surface of the Sovereign planet, directly shut down the Spaceship's intelligent Control System, maxed out the Spaceship's Thrusters, activated the energy field protective shield at full power, and crashed towards the surface of the Sovereign planet.
