The army chasing Lin Zhen could be said to have gone through a painful journey.
According to later statistics, there were a total of 300,000 people chasing Lin Zhen in the Chaotic Star River for the sake of 10 billion cosmos crystals!
Among them, there were close to 100,000 warriors from the Fire Qilin Empire, and the remaining 200,000 were warriors from the Bug Clan.
So many people were chasing him, but Lin Zhen was as cunning as a loach. He weaved in and out of the Chaotic Star River, using the geographical advantage to drive his small flying ship and escape everywhere.
This was the bad thing about the Chaotic Star River. As long as you had a top-notch small flying ship at sub-light speed, almost no one could catch you unless your piloting skills were too bad or you ran out of energy.
In the beginning, people thought that Lin Zhen's flying ship was very small and could not carry a lot of energy crystals. They thought that there would be a time when they could catch him.
But later on, they discovered that they were wrong.
This fella had very likely brought ten interspatial rings, and each interspatial ring was stuffed full of energy crystals!
After a month of chasing, there were many flying ships that had no choice but to withdraw from the chase due to insufficient energy, admitting that they had failed.
But entering the Chaotic Star River, many people also brought a lot of energy crystals. They were confident that they had enough energy to chase Lin Zhen until the day they ran out of energy.
But no matter how much they chased and intercepted, the seesaw battle continued for three months. Lin Zhen's small flying ship was still full of energy as it traversed through the Chaotic Star River.
And along the way, some people felt that it was hopeless to chase Lin Zhen, so they started to attack others.
The Bug Clan warriors attacked the Fire Qilin's people, and the Fire Qilin's people looked for opportunities to kill the Bug Clan warriors. Both sides did not belong to the same camp, so it was normal for them to attack each other.
It was also because of this that they could not coordinate well with each other. They did not want their opponents to catch Lin Zhen, so they pulled each other's legs and caused them to miss several good opportunities. Otherwise, Lin Zhen might have been caught long ago.
Five months later, there were less than 3,000 people left from the original 300,000 who were still persisting.
Moreover, these people were still retreating one after another because the Zergs had begun their counterattack.
Ever since the Fire Qilin's martial artists had entered, the insect race had adopted a strategy of luring the enemy deeper. At first, they had been forced to retreat, but gradually, the Fire Qilin's martial artists had entered the depths of the Chaotic Star River, far away from the Radiant Corridor. Even if they wanted to withdraw, it would not be a simple matter.
At this moment, the Zerg experts finally made their move.
The seven Insect Marshals led 108 Insect Generals to set off from the seven main star nests in the depths of the Chaotic Star River and began to encircle and annihilate the Fire Qilin Empire martial artists.
The bitter battle lasted for two months, and the Fire Qilin martial artists suffered a crushing defeat!
Of the 300,000 martial artists, only less than 50,000 survived. Moreover, four Nebula stage martial artists had fallen in battle, including the Thunder Realm King's disciple, Zhang Zhidong!
Zhang Zhidong boasted of his powerful combat strength, and in order to fight for the first place, he ventured deep into the forest, but in the end, he was besieged by two insect commanders.
The two insect commanders, the Locust Leader and the Bumblebee Leader, joined forces in the starry sky and killed Zhang Zhidong, causing the Fire Qilin Empire's concentration camp to suffer the greatest loss since the competition!
Other than Zhang Zhidong's death, Ye Hua and Feng Qingluan joined forces and met the other four insect commanders three thousand stars away from the Floating Island. After a fierce battle, Ye Hua was injured and left, while Feng Qingluan was even more seriously injured and disappeared.
If not for the fact that Feng Qingluan's name was still bright, people would have suspected that Feng Qingluan was already dead.
The continuous setbacks made these heaven's prides in the concentration camp feel as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them, and they realized that the Zergs were definitely not as weak as they appeared to be.
As for the matter of chasing Lin Zhen, it had gradually been forgotten by people.
Of the three thousand pursuers, there were less than a hundred people left. For the illusory wealth of ten billion cosmos crystals, they were still persevering in their pursuit.

On a trash planet, the ground was loosening.
"Pu ~!"
The ground cracked open, and a person broke out of the ground.
"Huhu ~! It's really difficult to dig through the ground. Fortunately, my scales are tough enough, so I can drill down smoothly. "
Lin Zhen's clone climbed up from the ground, and he could not hide the excitement on his face.
"I've finally found it. It's been seven months! After seven months of arduous searching, I've finally found the location of the resource planet. It's here! "
In order to find this resource planet, Lin Zhen's clone had also suffered a lot.
Over the past seven months, he had not killed any Zergs. All his energy had been used to search for resource planets. He had worked almost without sleep and rest. He had basically searched all the garbage dumps in this galaxy. After exploring hundreds of planets, he had finally found the target he was looking for.
This resource planet had a diameter of more than five hundred kilometers, and it was not considered a particularly small planet.
It was unknown how many years the garbage had existed here, as it covered an area of three thousand meters on the surface. Lin Zhen dug underground and advanced, and it took him more than ten days to find out that this was a resource planet.
"Chris, can you estimate how many thunder crystals this resource planet contains? Can you help me upgrade to level-9 Stellar-level? "
After seven months of space travel, Lin Zhen's main body had finally advanced to level-4 Stellar-level, and his star power had risen to five hundred. However, he had not had the chance to meet up with his clone and was still running in circles with his pursuers in the distant starry sky.
"Master, although the number of thunder crystals contained in this resource planet is not small, the amount you need to advance to level-9 Stellar-level is too large. After all, this is an ore, and more than ninety-five percent of it is useless. Moreover, there will be wastage during the absorption process. According to my estimates, you can probably advance to level-8 Stellar-level through this resource planet. It will be difficult to advance to the peak of level-8 unless you can avoid wastage. Then, you can advance to level-9, but that is almost impossible."
"Level-8 Stellar-level … That's about it. What I lack now is star power. If I can advance to level-8, it will definitely be enough. Moreover, I still have the Stellar-level crystals to absorb."
After finally finding the location of the resource planet, Lin Zhen wanted his main body to return home.
Lin Zhen was also very annoyed by those who followed behind her.
At present, there were only twenty to thirty people chasing him. They were in four or five small spaceships, and there was not a single Bug Race martialist. They were all from the Fire Qilin Empire.
Although the empire did not allow martialists to kill each other, no one could restrain these lawless martialists in the Chaotic Star River.
For the sake of ten billion universe crystals, they would do anything.
"It's been seven months. It's about time to put an end to this. You guys have been chasing me for so long. It's time to repay your debt."
During these days, Lin Zhen had also figured out the identities of the people chasing him.
Among the twenty or so people, there was only one Nebula Stage martialist, which was Sun Hao. The rest were all in the Black Hole Stage.
After confirming the route, Lin Zhen began to turn the ship around and returned to the garbage treatment plant.
He wanted to settle this matter completely here and then cultivate in peace.
*****
"It's been seven months, Lin Zhen. Even if you carry more energy blocks, it's almost time to use them up."
Sun Hao sat in the spaceship. The chase was not particularly difficult. He carried enough energy blocks, and now half of them had been consumed. He believed that Lin Zhen would not carry more energy blocks than him.
And now Lin Zhen was sailing in the direction of the garbage treatment plant, which confirmed Sun Hao's guess.
What was he going to do at the garbage treatment plant? The only possibility was to find some energy blocks from those abandoned spaceships.
However, those damaged spaceships in the garbage dump had been there for countless years. Even if there were still energy blocks, the remaining energy was almost exhausted. Lin Zhen's actions were enough to prove that he had reached the end of his life.
"This chase should be over. Lin Zhen, you're finished!"
*****
Lin Zhen's main body was sitting cross-legged in the cabin, quietly experiencing the changes of the Dark Star.
After seven months of long travel, the Dark Star had finally completely absorbed the power of the planet's heart of vegetation. From the peak of the Phanerozoic Universe, it was about to break through to the Mesozoic Era!
The Mesozoic Era corresponded to the Planet Stage, but because the Dark Star was a physical entity, the star power it contained was getting stronger and stronger. It was dozens of times stronger than the star power of a Planet Stage martialist!
It was also by relying on the increasing power of the Dark Star that Lin Zhen was able to support him to fight across realms. The Dark Star was his strongest trump card.
On the Star Fruit Tree, flowers bloomed one after another.
More and more star crystals began to appear in the sky, the beehive, and the ant's nest.
"This is the final bloom of the heart of vegetation's power. This wave of star crystals is exceptionally large. If I can make good use of it, coupled with the thunder crystal mine on the resource planet, I might have a chance to break through to the Level 9 Star Stage."
"But now is not the time to study it. My Dark Star is finally about to advance!"
The Cloud Contact Vine was like a giant snake. It was attached to the tree and wrapped around the Star Fruit Tree.
It was the right decision to bring the Cloud Contact Vine into the Dark Star space. The vine could effectively suppress it and prevent the Star Fruit Tree from growing too large and absorbing too much of the Dark Star's energy.
Only with this excess energy could more star crystals be produced.
But even so, the Star Fruit Tree had already grown to over 20,000 meters tall!
Fortunately, the Dark Star was much larger than Earth. If it was on Earth, the Star Fruit Tree would have already rushed out of the atmosphere.
Powerful life force pervaded the Dark Star. The vegetation was exuberant, and microorganisms had already begun to appear in the mountains and rivers.
At the foot of the Star Fruit Tree, a small red flower bud stood upright.
With the help of the Star Fruit Tree's life force, it was the first flower to bloom on the Dark Star.
Lin Zhen's mental power was constantly watching it, waiting for it to bring the first bright color to the Dark Star World that had evolved from the Ancient Netherworld Era.
Drip!
A drop of dew fell from the Star Fruit Tree onto the flower bud.
Moistened by this drop of dew, the red flower bud stretched lazily and slowly bloomed into a beautiful fiery red color!
Although it was just an ordinary flower, in Lin Zhen's eyes, it was so beautiful that it shook his soul!
It was just short of that bit of life force. The moment the flower bloomed, the Dark Star World would advance!
A rumbling sound rang out as a new round of expansion began. An invisible change was quietly happening on the Dark Star and the space around it!
A huge amount of star power began to flow and rise!
