The Star Fruit was as big as a small satellite, but that was just its shell. The size of the core didn't really matter. There were all kinds of xenogeneics inside the fruit, and every single one of them had a different xenogeneic.
The legends said that the Star Tree was a microcosm of the universe. A Star Fruit represented a planet with life in the universe. So, every Star Fruit had a special xenogeneic of that planet. Although they were all born from the same tree, the xenogeneics inside the Star Fruit were all different from each other.
Of course, that was just a legend. It couldn't be taken seriously, but the xenogeneics inside the Star Fruit were all different. They were all King class xenogeneics.
"That's because we're in Outer Heaven. If we were in the outside world, this Star Tree alone would probably trigger a cosmic war.
It is no wonder the Very High don't want anything. They don't compete with the Extreme King for resources. With Outer Sky, there are only a few hundred of them. Even if there were ten thousand times more of them, they would have an endless supply of resources. "
As Han Sen thought about this, he suddenly had another thought. "Outer Sky is between the real world and the anti-material world. Does that count as an independent world?
If that is the case, then a few hundred of the Very High can use an entire world's worth of resources.
That would be awesome.
Plus, Outer Sky has Underworld Lake, which is connected to the antimaterial world. You can get resources from the antimaterial world there, and you don't have to mention the connection to the real world. So, the Very High can eat all three worlds. Is there anything better than that? "
But that had nothing to do with Han Sen. Han Sen hadn't flown far when Exquisite teleported back with Bao'er.
"How long are you going to fly?
I'll take you there, "Exquisite said. She put her hand on Han Sen's shoulder and teleported him to the top of the Star Tree.
Han Sen looked around at the giant Star Fruits, wondering which one he should pick.
According to Exquisite, the Star Fruits weren't ripe yet, but the xenogeneics inside would only mature when the outer shell of the Star Fruit turned dark red. Otherwise, if he picked the Star Fruit early, the xenogeneics wouldn't have finished evolving. Their levels would be very low.
"Let's pick a few first to test our luck."
It was impossible to tell what kind of xenogeneic was inside the Star Fruit, so Han Sen didn't need to pick one. He went straight for one of the Star Fruits.
The outer shell of the Star Fruit was already dark red. Although it was still emitting light and heat, it was like a red fireball that was about to set.
Han Sen flew to the point where the Star Fruit was connected to the branch. Following Exquisite's instructions, he reached out and pressed. The giant Star Fruit immediately separated from the branch.
After the Star Fruit fell off, it didn't feel like a huge star. Instead, it looked very light.
As the Star Fruit fell, its dark red shell began to disintegrate. From afar, it looked like a huge fireball that was rapidly burning and releasing heat.
But the decomposing process didn't generate any heat. A moment later, the giant Star Fruit's shell was gone. Inside, there was a curled up xenogeneic.
The xenogeneic looked like a flying dragon. Its head and tail were connected, and its wings were folded. Its body was covered in green scales. Judging from its size and tail, it was at least forty meters long.
"It looks very strong. It can't be a deified xenogeneic, can it?" Han Sen's heart jumped.
Exquisite said that the Star Fruits usually bred King class xenogeneics. Only a few were deified. No matter what xenogeneic it was, it was always the lowest level when it was first born.
For example, when a King class xenogeneic was born, it was a first-tier King. When a deified xenogeneic was born, it was primitive class.
But they were like ordinary xenogeneics. They had a chance to grow. How much they could grow depended on their talent.
The xenogeneics that had just been picked were usually asleep. You could kill them while they were asleep, or you could wake them up. The Very High had a special contract. If you made a contract with a xenogeneic and woke it up, you could use the xenogeneic for your own purposes.
Of course, this contract only worked if the xenogeneic didn't resist. It didn't work on ordinary xenogeneics. Only the Star Fruit's sleeping xenogeneics could use this contract.
"This must be an aran dragon. It is a King class xenogeneic. If you have enough resources, it can become half-deified. It is a very good xenogeneic," Exquisite said to Han Sen, looking at the green dragon.
Han Sen was disappointed. A King class xenogeneic wasn't going to do him much good.
Exquisite knew what Han Sen was thinking, so she told Han Sen, "It's not completely useless.
Every once in a while, a group of star beetles will fly through space.
You will be guarding the Star Tree, and you will have to kill them.
If you do it alone, it will be too much trouble.
You can recruit some helpers, and you can kill them before they enter the Star Tree.
They will be a great help, and when you travel Outer Sky, you will need helpers.
I suggest you make a contract with all the xenogeneics in the Star Fruit."
Han Sen thought what Exquisite said made sense. This time, the star beetles had all flown into the tree because the old man had let them in. He wanted to test Han Sen and Liyu Zhen.
Usually, the star beetles didn't have a chance to fly up the Star Tree before the old man killed them all. Sometimes, a few slipped through the net, and Han Sen had to deal with them.
Of course, when the old man was around, things wouldn't have been so troublesome. But Han Sen and Liyu Zhen weren't strong enough. If a large number of star beetles came up the Star Tree, they'd have to deal with them like this.
Han Sen looked at the sleeping aram dragon. He knew it wouldn't be long before it woke up. He had to make a decision before it woke up. If it woke up, killing it would be easy, but contracting it would be impossible.
Without hesitation, Han Sen used the method Exquisite had taught him to form a contract with the aram dragon.
After the contract was completed, a strange symbol appeared on the aram dragon's forehead. The symbol flickered, and the aram dragon woke up from its sleep.
Roar!
The aram dragon opened its wings and roared. It looked at Han Sen.
Han Sen's heart jumped, and the aram dragon seemed to know what he was thinking. It flapped its wings and flew over. It landed next to Han Sen.
Han Sen stood on the aram dragon's back. He thought it was a good ride. "It's nice to have a mount. I can use it as a cargo ship. If I get a lot of resources from Outer Sky, I can use it to transport them."
"There are forty-nine Star Fruits left. I hope there are a few more deified xenogeneics." Han Sen thought to himself as he flew over to another Star Fruit.
