The asthenosphere was located above the mantle and below the lithosphere. The temperature here was around 1,300 degrees, close to the melting point of rocks.
Normally, the crust, lithosphere, and asthenosphere were all part of the Earth's crust.
The upper mantle and the lower mantle were part of the Earth's mantle.
The outer core and the inner core were the core.
When the quasi-SSS crystal began to condense the asthenosphere, the firepower of Lin Zhen's Dark Star began to pour in.
The fire and earth elements condensed and began to form the rocks of the asthenosphere. The rocks here were liquid, unlike the lithosphere, which was already solid.
"Fortunately, I have all the elements in my body. Otherwise, it would be impossible to condense the planet's core. This asthenosphere is enough to stump me."
Three hours had passed since the asthenosphere had formed.
Next was the upper mantle. The upper mantle was many times thicker than the asthenosphere. According to Earth's theory, this was the source of earthquakes, and the temperature was higher.
The consumption of the quasi-SSS crystal in Lin Zhen's hand began to increase. Waves of earth elements were madly poured in, and the upper mantle was rapidly forming.
However, Lin Zhen frowned slightly. After the upper mantle, there was still the lower mantle, the outer core, and the inner core. It seemed that the earth elements in this quasi-SSS crystal were not enough.
Of course, even if it was not enough, Lin Zhen's Dark Star could still condense. However, after condensing, it might not reach its strongest state. This made Lin Zhen, who pursued perfection, feel somewhat regretful.
"Forget it. I'll take it one step at a time. At this point, there is no turning back."
Lin Zhen stopped thinking about these problems and allowed the power of the earth element to enter his body.
The sky gradually darkened, and dark clouds covered the sky. It was a cold night.
It was not until ten o 'clock at night that the upper mantle of Lin Zhen's Dark Star was completed. Next was the lower mantle.
Lin Zhen scanned the crystal with his mental power. At this time, the crystal had shrunk by half. The remaining part was enough to condense the lower mantle. However, it was clearly not enough to condense the outer core.
Lin Zhen was also caught between a rock and a hard place. He did not expect that condensing his Dark Star would be so difficult. Even quasi-SSS rank crystals were not enough.
However, he couldn't find an SSS-grade one. If he waited until then to condense it, it would be too late.
Lin Zhen's mental power swept across the Dark Star again and again as he waited for the Earth Curtain to take shape.
This process lasted for more than eight hours!
The mantle was only completed when the sky turned dark and the sky turned bright.
As for the crystal in Lin Zhen's hand, there was only one-fifth left.
"Forget it, I'll continue to absorb. Next is the outer core!"
Lin Zhen had no intention of stopping. Traces of earth elements continued to enter the Dark Star and began to condense the outer core.
If the crust was solid and the mantle was liquid, then the core would be highly compressed.
When Lin Zhen started to condense the Earth Core, the Gold Qi above the Dark Star started to crazily pour in.
For a real planet, the core was very dense. Even diamond would be crushed into butter when it reached the core.
However, Lin Zhen's Gold Qi was the first of the five elements. It was the sharpest and toughest. As the Gold Qi poured in, the density of the Earth Core also increased.
As the Earth Core condensed, Lin Zhen felt that the space around the Dark Star became more stable. The rotation speed of the Dark Star gradually slowed down. This meant that the Dark Star was about to take shape.
However, Lin Zhen was secretly complaining in his heart. There was not enough earth element!
At this time, he realized how much earth element he was lacking. At first, he thought that this quasi-SSS rank crystal would be able to condense the outer core. That way, the planet would have a little foundation. However, he never thought that the core was the main source of earth element. Just as the outer core formed a thin layer, the earth element crystal was completely gone.
According to this calculation, not to mention one quasi-SSS rank crystal, even ten crystals would not be enough.
Without a core condensed, the Dark Star's rotation seemed to have stagnated.
Lin Zhen knew that this was a dangerous time. If he did not strike while the iron was hot and condense the core, the Dark Star might stay in this state forever.
Of course, Lin Zhen's current state could still provide him with quite a bit of strength. However, he had lost the possibility of leveling up. The Dark Star that Lin Zhen had painstakingly created would sooner or later become a useless existence in the universe.
Lin Zhen absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen.
"Isn't it just matter? Isn't it just earth energy? I'll go all out today!"
Lin Zhen resolutely took out an item from his spatial ring. A neutron!
This was a neutron that flowed out from a black hole in the universe. It was something that had been compressed to the limit. Such a mere neutron was comparable to the weight of the Himalayas.
However, Lin Zhen felt that the neutron's core had a trace of a black hole's aura. This made Lin Zhen, who was instinctively afraid of black holes, not dare to take a step forward.
However, at this time, the thought of advancement had already suppressed his fear. He had to go all out!
"Come! Success or death, it's all up to you! "
Lin Zhen resolutely placed the neutron in front of his lower abdomen. The Qi in his dantian began to absorb the neutron's energy.
When matter was compressed to the extreme, the so-called metals and minerals would no longer exist. They would all turn into soil, highly compressed soil.
Thus, after the Qi in his dantian absorbed the neutron, the soil in the neutron began to quietly decompose. It decomposed bit by bit and entered Lin Zhen's dantian.
The earth energy passed through his dantian and entered the space where the Dark Star was located. Then, it was absorbed by the planet that was forming, entering the core and compressing it again.
At this time, only by using a microscope would one be able to see the earth energy seeping out from the neutron. This bit of loss was almost negligible to the neutron.
After receiving a large amount of earth energy, Lin Zhen's Dark Star, which was about to stagnate, once again gained a powerful vitality and entered a high-speed period of operation.
Time turned from day to night once again. After a full ten hours, Lin Zhen's Dark Star's core was completely condensed!
"This is great! Only the last step is left. Only the core is left! "
Lin Zhen was practically wild with joy. These ten hours of absorption and compression had only reduced the volume of the neutron by a third. The outer core was formed just like that.
"There are still two thirds of the neutron left. Hopefully, I can successfully condense the core. Once the core is formed, the entire planet will be completely formed."
Lin Zhen was incomparably looking forward to seeing what would happen once the Dark Star was successfully condensed.
The only thing he could be sure of was that his strength would definitely soar by leaps and bounds.
Even a Dark Star made of energy could support him to enter the Stars Ranking. What would a real planet do?
The core was the most basic and most crucial part. In fact, the advancement of the Dark Star was different from the advancement of the Qi in his dantian. The Qi in his dantian would condense into the Star Core from the core. For example, the initial stage of the Star Core would condense into a core.
Only at the peak of the Star Core would it gradually have the appearance of a planet. Finally, it would enter the Meteor stage and turn into a celestial body that would constantly roam around the Dantian.
A meteor would turn into a comet, and the comet would eventually stabilize and become a satellite. At that time, it would be considered a real planet.
As for the Dark Star, it would start from the outside. This was something Lin Zhen hadn't expected. After all, he didn't know that it would be like this.
When the core was condensed, Lin Zhen finally realized how big of an effect the neutron had. The compression density of the inner core was much higher, and it required more earth elemental energy.
Absorbing and compressing the neutron again and again, this cycle made Lin Zhen almost numb. He forgot night and day, forgot the passage of time, and devoted himself to the process of the birth of a planet.
At midnight, half of the core was completed.
At dawn, four-fifths of the core was completed.
When the sun was about to rise, the core was only a little bit away from completion.
If the neutron was the size of a steel ball before, then it was only the size of a needle now.
At this time, the familiar black hole that made Lin Zhen feel fear from the bottom of his heart appeared again.
'It's finally the most crucial moment.'
'Right now, my Star Core is only a little bit away from completion. As long as I absorb this last bit of neutron, the Dark Star will be completed. However, I might have to face something extremely terrifying. Should I do it or not?'
Lin Zhen pondered for a moment. His actions had already given him the answer.
He would do it to the end!
'Right now, I don't even dare to face the power of the black hole. In the future, when I return to the time of my rebirth, how will I have the courage to face the real black hole? At that time, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to be reborn again.'
The Qi in his dantian surged fiercely, and Lin Zhen resolutely absorbed the last bit of neutron!
In that instant, Lin Zhen seemed to see a river of stars in the sky!
The beautiful and boundless starry sky formed a resplendent scene in the universe.
After that, a dot appeared in the sky of the universe. It grew bigger and bigger, and started to rotate.
That was the black hole!
Everything in the surroundings was swallowed up. Every planet seemed to have turned into tiny water droplets, and they were absorbed into the black hole at an extremely high speed. After that, they were decomposed, melted, compressed, and condensed.
People couldn't escape. Life couldn't escape. The surrounding celestial bodies couldn't escape. Dust couldn't escape. Light couldn't escape. Even souls couldn't escape!
The black hole seemed to grow bigger and bigger in front of Lin Zhen's eyes, and it was getting closer and closer!
That intense feeling of suffocation nearly caused Lin Zhen's mind to collapse. His pupils dilated, and his fists clenched tightly. He stared at the black hole that was getting closer and closer.
An intense unwillingness that came from the depths of his soul surged out.
Lin Zhen didn't know where his courage came from, but he pointed at the black hole. "If you have the guts, then swallow me again. Although my strength is insignificant, if you can't swallow me, then I'll tear you to pieces!"
He knew that when comparing his strength to the black hole's power, it was like an ant facing a planet and roaring. It was as if it wanted to use its meager strength to overturn the planet.
But the ant still stubbornly wanted to try!
At this moment, to a certain extent, Lin Zhen had won. It was because he had the courage to overcome his fear.
As Lin Zhen roared, the scene in front of him suddenly changed. The black hole actually disappeared just like that.
Perhaps it didn't disappear, but instead entered the depths of the Earth's core and was buried deep within the dark star.
Lin Zhen's entire body was dripping with sweat. It was as if he had just had an incomparably terrifying nightmare. When his mental strength swept over the dark star once more, he suddenly discovered that the dark star had already finished condensing!
