Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton-Chapter 1729 - 1290: Giving You, the Divine Star Seed

Can destiny be so dramatic? Originally, the weapon was meant to hit others, and in a blink of an eye he became someone else’s.

But it’s impossible to give up the Divine Star body just because you’re about to get hit, right? No way, even if the Gray Divine Star kneels and begs for mercy now, Ange wouldn’t possibly give up the Divine Star that he is about to obtain.

"Give it back to me, get out, give it back, return the body to me, I beg you, please return the body to me, I’m begging you, okay?" The tone of the Gray Divine Star shifted from anger to panic and to pleading, yet Ange was deaf to it.

Occupying the Divine Star for him was already the second time, and he considered himself experienced. Such experience is not something everyone qualifies to acquire, and perhaps only he owns it in the Void.

Though there’s little experience in occupying a Divine Star, Ange has vast experience in occupying bodies. Back when he was just a fragile farming skeleton, he used to change skeletons every few decades, occasionally swapping hands and feet. What is the Divine Star body? Isn’t it just a skeleton frame? Occupied.

Ange poured his thoughts into the Divine Star, withstanding the first wave of repulsion, and quickly searched for the Divine Star’s ’skeleton frame’ after not being bounced out.

Skeletons are entirely bone, but the importance of bones varies—the skull is the most crucial, followed by the spine, then the bones of the arms and legs, while the ribs and jawbone are least useful.

A skeleton with only its skull can be hung on a wall, like Iron Hoof, but one without a skull cannot be formed. A skeleton without a spine can’t control its limbs—but one without hands or feet typically can’t stand up.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the skull and spine are the so-called ’skeleton frame,’ while parts like hands, feet, and ribs are just replaceable components. What Ange seeks now is the irreplaceable ’skeleton frame’ of the Divine Star.

Soon, Ange found it—the strength of the entire Divine Star folds towards a central point, layer upon layer, continuously stacking. Yet when this massive power stacks to the extreme, it inevitably spills from certain places, erupting onto the Divine Star’s surface, then pressing down again, forming a cycle.

Within the Divine Star, these erupting pathways are evenly dispersed. They are like ’skeleton frames’ stretching throughout the Divine Star, supporting the whole energy cycle. Through them, Ange can instantly spread his thoughts across the entire Divine Star.

Once his thoughts suffused the Divine Star, Ange began the occupation process, which resembled the paralyzed patient regaining control of their body—first sensing, then moving, then moving more to familiarize.

Until this moment, the Gray Divine Star sensed something, attempting to retreat its consciousness to its body, but discovered that Ange had already occupied its ’skeleton frame’ and was diligently moving the limbs, causing the Divine Star to repel its original consciousness.

The pleas from the Gray Divine Star grew increasingly weak; it ultimately had to retreat to its avatar.

If the body were still under control, projecting its consciousness outward for long periods wouldn’t pose an issue, but now after all this turmoil, it actually felt exhaustion, heralding the dissipation of consciousness.

This shattered its last glimmer of hope—it genuinely lost its body.

Standing to the avatarium, the Gray Divine Star conjured a face, mournfully looking toward its body—that red Divine Star, astonishingly no longer belonging to it—what to do? How to reclaim it?

The avatar of the Gray Divine Star surged forward, aiming to leap toward its body, but just as it moved, a skeleton wielding a scythe suddenly emerged from the front left, staring at it placidly.

An overwhelming sadness welled within the Gray Divine Star—it, the Divine Star, the most powerful entity in the Void, the source of all things and all worlds, all life’s and matter’s origins in the entire Void, fostered by its own essence. Simply by staying put, the entire Void was shackled by it.

But it simply grew old, and then the whole world seemed to conspire against it. First, the Star Descendant betrayed, imprisoning it. Struggling out of prison, it fell into even more dismal circumstances. Now even its body was robbed.

It couldn’t even protest the unfairness of fate, for the god of destiny too was nurtured by it—unless involving fate from another world...

Now, every attempt to reclaim its body was forestalled by a meddler. That despicable being didn’t need to do anything, just standing there sufficiently thwarted all its actions.

Never had the Gray Divine Star felt so powerless—lost, it stood dumbfoundedly in place.

Neither it nor the Monarch moved; after over ten minutes, the Monarch suddenly said: "You still possess a portion of power. Leave here, hide far away, you can continue living for a long, long time."

The Gray Divine Star remained silent for a while, stating: "I am the Divine Star."

"Tsk, and I am the Monarch. Under my command were billions of beings, my Soul Network links billions of souls, I live forever...," boasted the Monarch.

The Gray Divine Star remained silent for a while, stating: "I am the Divine Star."

"I know you’re unwilling, but being imprisoned by the Star Progeny Master for so long, you’ve already become outdated and backward. You are merely an ancient Divine Star freshly released not long ago; it’s not significant—give up," advised the Monarch.

The Gray Divine Star enunciated each word, roaring: "I·am·the·Divine·Star!!"

Hardly had it shouted, when the Monarch heaved the scythe, rushing aggressively towards it: "I’ll cut down this Divine Star now."

The Monarch deftly maneuvered the scythe, nearly drawing out its consciousness. At this moment, the Gray Divine Star realized the Monarch had not committed fully during their previous struggles.

"I am... the Divine Star..." It uttered again, this time its tone awash in hopelessness.

"Tsk—" The Monarch, reluctant to bully it, withdrew upon seeing its loss of fighting spirit: "Fight if you must, leave if you will. I won’t stop you; delay too long and you might be unable to escape. Nagustai is about to arrive."

This was indeed the Monarch’s intention—although briefly, unable to seize it, its presence lingered as a variable. Vagueness could lead to Nagustai’s interference; scaring it off was preferable.

"..."

Although the Gray Divine Star did not speak, its form tightened considerably, clearly hesitating. Leaving instilled reluctance, but being humiliated by the Monarch signified no point to unwillingness since its adversary entirely disregarded its sentiments.

At that moment, a face emerged on the Divine Star’s surface.

Jolted to consciousness, the Gray Divine Star turned to walk away. The opponent had fully occupied its body, even materializing power—no point to obstinacy.

But just as it turned, a voice echoed: "Surrender the Spiritual Locking Contract, give you the Divine Star Seed."
