Chapter 654: Chapter 486: Hedal
Five days later, Lu Li was invited to depart from Earth, heading towards the Hedal Spherical Star Cluster.
In the past few days, his strength increased from the Power of Thirty-Nine Stars to the Power of Forty-Five Stars.
During this time, he condensed over ten thousand Skill Books, with ten thousand copies each of the Great Celestial Immortal Technique, Seventy-Two Earthly Transformations, and Somersault Cloud.
Additionally, he condensed over ten thousand peaches that ripen every three thousand years, a thousand peaches that ripen every six thousand years, and over a hundred peaches that ripen every nine thousand years.
He did not directly give these to the newly recruited five hundred guards to increase their power; instead, they were temporarily kept by Liu Kexin, intending to observe everyone’s performance before individually "rewarding" them.
Of course, this is a long-term management strategy.
If an emergency arises, he might recruit ten thousand loyal commoners regardless of their performance and then bestow these treasures from the Fantasy World upon them.
For instance, for this meeting with the great leader.
If the negotiations go well, Lu Li will not rush to grant his subordinates extraordinary powers.
But if the Galaxy Alliance truly has intentions against him or Pangu.
Then, sorry, he would immediately create a formidable Superpower Legion, letting the Galaxy Alliance feel the deterrence from the gods.
In the endless starry sky,
Lu Li, transformed into the form of "will," was constantly shuttling through it.
Now possessing the Power of Forty-Five Stars, he could travel a distance of ninety light-years in a single thought.
The Hedal Spherical Star Cluster is sixteen thousand to eighteen thousand light-years away from the Solar System.
At his current travel speed, it would take about one hundred seventy-eight to two hundred seconds.
"If I open a wormhole, I could actually reach the Hedal Spherical Star Cluster instantly, but doing so costs too much energy; it’s unnecessary."
To conserve energy, Lu Li preferred to spend two to three minutes traveling.
While drifting, he was experiencing the situation of his dramatically increased power during this period.
Since the sixth deep evolution, he immediately possessed the power of two stars.
With the passage of time, his strength has now increased to the Power of Forty-Five Stars.
The increase is extraordinarily significant.
From the perspective of sheer power, he has increased more than twenty times.
This tremendous increase is absolutely incredible compared to previous deep evolutions.
After all, in every past deep evolution, his strength could only grow four to eight times before nearing the next deep evolution.
"I still haven’t sensed any signs of the next deep evolution; could it be that the sixth deep evolution is the peak?"
Lu Li thought about it and felt it wasn’t right; he clearly felt that he could still undergo a deep evolution.
He could now pierce through dimensions; such a feeling could not be an illusion.
That is to say, he could definitely undergo another deep evolution; he just hasn’t reached that stage yet.
And to achieve deep evolution, from past experiences, a certain amount of energy needs to be accumulated.
"With the Power of Forty-Five Stars, I still haven’t sensed any ’upgrade’ signs. Could it be as I initially guessed, that it requires over one hundred stars?"
Lu Li calculated that he was still fifty-five stars short of the Power of One Hundred Stars.
Assuming an increase of six stars in five days, it would take roughly another forty-six days.
Forty-six days is just about a month and a half for an ordinary person, not too long.
After completing the sixth deep evolution, Lu Li has inexhaustible life, essentially being an immortal entity, so he naturally doesn’t find forty-six days too long.
"No rush, in a month and a half, it should be clear if the Power of One Hundred Stars is enough for me to approach deep evolution."
Lu Li had a great mindset; he didn’t feel the need to immediately undergo deep evolution.
Well, alright, having a poor mindset won’t work.
If you can’t sense the approach of the next deep evolution, what can you do?
In his thoughts, two to three minutes passed by quickly.
Finally, Lu Li arrived at an incredibly radiant Star Realm.
Here, hundreds of billions, even trillions of stars are gathered.
The radiant starlight almost illuminated this Star Realm like a "Bright Barrier."
Lu Li knew this was the Hedal Spherical Star Cluster.
He expanded his strong sensory ability to survey the surrounding environment.
About one light-year away, there was a gigantic artificial metal planet.
This massive artificial metal planet was somewhat peculiar; despite the influence of countless stellar gravitations, it wasn’t torn apart, nor did it orbit any single star, but rather, it moved like a star within the cluster.
It seemed as though this gigantic artificial metal planet was just another star within the cluster.
In this Cosmos, Lu Li possessed nearly omniscient and omnipotent abilities, and with a little probe, he immediately discovered why this artificial metal planet was like this.
The main reason is that there is a massive gravity source within the cluster.
This massive gravity source is caused by an exceedingly large black hole within the cluster.
Lu Li observed this black hole and couldn’t help but feel amazed.
It’s truly incredible for a black hole to hold billions and even trillions of stars.
He decided that if he had time, he would thoroughly research this black hole.
However, he currently had more important things to do and wouldn’t waste time on research.
