This blue planet lacks an atmosphere, and the gravity is not very strong, so the spaceship’s landing process was very smooth, with no jolts or instances of friction generating heat.

After landing on the ice layer, Ling Feng felt the energy fluctuations more distinctly.

This was an energy he had never encountered before, it seemed to originate from within the planet, so he used his Divine Sense to scan.

Unfortunately, the density of the ice layer was very high, and the penetrative power of the Divine Sense was obstructed more than halfway, leaving Ling Feng barely able to see beneath the ice layer, a vast ocean!

The thickness of the ice layer exceeded ten kilometers, and below it, there was actually flowing seawater. It was somewhat beyond Ling Feng’s expectations.

The depth of the seawater, he still couldn’t check, nor what was emitting the energy inside. But right now, Ling Feng didn’t care about that; he cared about how to quickly get the metallic mines in the form of Essence Cores!

So after pondering for a bit, Ling Feng released the only two Magic Crystal Warriors that the spaceship could carry.

After landing, the Magic Crystal Warriors walked on the ice layer and started cutting the ice according to Ling Feng’s instructions.

The process went very smoothly, and a huge circular hole quickly appeared on the ice surface, starting to move downward at a speed of two meters per second.

Ling Feng’s Divine Sense was watching the surroundings closely, and temporarily didn’t find any problems.

As the Ice Cave gradually deepened, slowly approaching the position of the Essence Cores, Ling Feng’s heart gradually relaxed.

Then, suddenly at this moment, a tremor erupted from the ice layer!

Subsequently, a rumbling sound like thunder came from below the ice layer.

Ling Feng froze, thinking to himself, is something going to happen?

At this moment, the spaceship’s communication system transmitted a voice from the mother ship: "Master, there’s intense activity detected beneath the ice layer!"

"Is there a new creature about to appear?" Ling Feng asked.

"Yes, it’s a... person!" the spaceship system said.

"What?"

This left Ling Feng dumbfounded, his eyes widened in shock: "How is that possible?"

"It is indeed a person, Master; he’s moving towards your direction, breaking through the ice!" the spaceship system said.

"Stay alert!"

Ling Feng immediately ordered the two Magic Crystal Warriors.

In just a minute, the ice layer’s vibration became increasingly intense, and then a whirlwind surged up dozens of meters ahead, followed by a blue humanoid figure slowly rising from the ice layer.

Seeing this scene, Ling Feng was astonished!

This planet had no atmosphere, and the ice layer was directly exposed outside, yet this person could withstand extreme cold and various cosmic radiation without any harm!

He himself had such abilities, but could not stay for too long, and his body would suffer damage, which was why Ling Feng remained in the spaceship and never ventured out.

Seeing this icy-blue person, Ling Feng was dumbfounded.

And even more surprising was ahead; that person slowly floated over, stopped in front of the spaceship, and then asked fluently in Huaxia language: "What person!"

"Damn!"

Ling Feng’s jaw almost dropped.

He was stunned, and the blue person then said in a deep voice: "This place is forbidden, no one is allowed to approach, and you dare to excavate the ice layer, you’ve committed a capital offense!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng hastily used the spaceship’s loudspeaker system and said: "Wait!"

"Hmm?"

The blue figure paused, squinted his eyes, and asked: "Who are you!"

"If I am correct, you should be an ancient deity of Huaxia, right? I am a descendant of Shennong; I wonder if you know him!" Ling Feng said.

"Shennong..."

The blue figure pondered and showed a thoughtful expression: "Haven’t heard that name for a long time!"

"..."

Ling Feng didn’t speak, he stared at him, thinking if he suddenly turned hostile, then let the two Magic Crystal Warriors counterattack, and escape back to the mother ship, should be in time!

However, that blue person suddenly lifted his head: "Since you’re a descendant of an old friend, why not reveal yourself?"

"Uh....."

Ling Feng paused, then pondered and asked: "Senior, forgive my rudeness, may I know who you are?"

"I am Gonggong!" the blue person said.

"Oh...."

Ling Feng suddenly exclaimed and dragged out his voice: "So it’s the great deity Gonggong!"

That’s when he understood.

Gonggong was the water god, no wonder he was like this, and on a planet entirely made of ice!

Understanding this, Ling Feng thought for a moment, and still opened the spaceship’s hatch, then jumped out!

The cold stung, breath couldn’t be maintained, yet he still stepped forward and stood in front of Gonggong.

Without air, speaking was impossible, so Ling Feng could only smile wryly at Gonggong.

"Good, you are indeed Shennong’s descendant! Go back!"

Gonggong said and, with a light wave of his hand, Ling Feng’s body retreated several meters, back to the spaceship hatch.

His clothes turned into fiber fragments, and when Ling Feng returned to the spaceship and closed the hatch, he was left completely naked.

Luckily, his body cells were very strong, so they didn’t necrotize, Ling Feng sighed and said: "Unexpectedly meeting the great deity Gonggong here, it’s truly my honor, but why are you here?"

"This place is suitable for my recovery."

After Gonggong spoke, he continued to ask: "What are you doing here?"

Ling Feng was a bit embarrassed, he smiled and said: "I’m here to mine; I need those condensed mineral Essence Cores from the ice layer."

"Oh?"

Gonggong paused, then asked: "What are you using them for?"

"Combine them with other metals to make Alloy, and then build incredibly sturdy spaceships for interstellar travel, immune to the threat of powerful enemies." Ling Feng said.

"I see!"

Gonggong thought for a bit, then said: "If that’s the case, I will help you collect these Essence Cores, but, you have to do something for me!"

Ling Feng’s heart jumped hearing this, thinking the benefits aren’t free, work needs to be done! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

But he didn’t mind, he smiled and said: "Of course, no problem, deity just let me know what you need!"

"Good!"

Gonggong slightly nodded, then said: "Back then I left Huaxia, and drifted through the void for many years, I lost touch with my old friends. Now I most want to find a friend named Zhurong, if you can help me find him, I will surely thank you!"

"Uh...."

Ling Feng was speechless upon hearing this.

Zhurong, just saw him not long ago on Pink Star!

After a laugh, Ling Feng quickly said: "Deity, that’s not difficult, I found Zhurong before, but sadly his true form is no more, only a residual Divine Sense remains!"

"How could that be?"

Gonggong listened with shock on his face, asking in astonishment.
