Ling Feng pondered for a moment: "I’m not entirely sure what happened. At that time, I was just chatting with Zhurong Great Deity for a little while!"

Saying this, he looked at Gonggong and said: "If the Great Deity wants to find Zhurong’s Divine Sense, I might be able to assist you."

"Alright!"

Gonggong nodded upon hearing this, without any apparent movement. His palm faced upward, suddenly emanating a blue light, and then a blue bead appeared on his palm.

Then, the bead floated towards the spacecraft, unimpeded, directly penetrating the outer wall of the spacecraft and entering the cabin.

Ling Feng reached out to catch it, feeling a chill sweep over him. After grasping it, he looked up and asked, "Great Deity, what is this?"

"This is my Divine Sense. Carry it with you, and no matter where you go, it’s equivalent to taking my avatar. All you need to do is summon me," Gonggong said.

Ling Feng nodded upon hearing this: "That is really convenient. After I finish collecting the Essence Core here, I will immediately go to Pink Star to help you find Zhurong!" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Good, don’t waste time here. I will help you collect the Essence Core!"

Gonggong said, turning to face the vast ice field, raising both hands upwards!

In an instant, the ice field began to tremble slightly, and Ling Feng saw countless white steam break through the ice layer!

At least hundreds of vapor columns surged out, followed by silver-white spheres rising from beneath the ice field.

Seeing this scene, Ling Feng was envious, thinking that this was the effect he wanted before. It seems only someone like a deity can possess such abilities!

In an instant, Gonggong produced nearly a thousand Essence Cores, piling them beside the spacecraft in a small mountain-like formation.

Ling Feng quickly contacted the mothership to arrange transportation, then he said to Gonggong: "Thank you for your help, Great Deity!"

"You’re welcome, just remember my words and take me to find Zhurong soon. I’ve missed that old friend terribly over the long years!" Gonggong said.

"Alright, we’ll set off in a moment!"

Ling Feng nodded.

What was thought to be the hardest mineral to extract turned out to be the easiest, and an abundance was gathered quickly, enough to last a long time.

A miniature transport spacecraft arrived, loaded up all the Essence Cores and took them away. Ling Feng bid farewell to Gonggong and promptly embarked on the return journey.

He agreed wholeheartedly, saying he would head straight to Pink Star, but as soon as they departed, Ling Feng changed his mind and ordered the spacecraft to return to the Moon Base immediately.

Once back, the cargo was swiftly unloaded.

The entire Moon Base mobilized all its robots. The spacecraft’s cargo hold was completely opened, and a large quantity of minerals was continuously transported into the Moon Base.

The minerals would be refined here, creating high-purity metals, and then melted to create alloys.

Because this alloy does not transmit heat at all, it must be cast into shape in one go.

Therefore, raw material production and component processing must be done simultaneously, and once completed, they will be transported to the Divine Mountain base for assembly.

The Ling Yun 2 spacecraft currently being assembled will be temporarily halted, focusing efforts on this Alloy Spacecraft.

After settling everything, Ling Feng hurried to Pink Star.

Going back and forth delayed nearly thirty hours.

However, he believed that such time wouldn’t matter to Gonggong.

Having lived through countless millennia, what’s a bit more time?

Upon arriving at Pink Star, as Ling Feng’s spacecraft landed, a miniature spacecraft hurried over.

After disembarking, Ling Feng saw a woman with a smile as radiant as a flower, it was Qi.

As she approached, Qi asked with a smile: "Brother Ling, my sister just left not long ago, why have you come?"

"I’m here for another matter!"

Ling Feng smiled and immediately asked: "Remember the last time we ventured underground and met Zhurong’s remnant soul?"

"I remember, what’s wrong?" Qi asked puzzled.

"I need to go down again!"

Ling Feng smiled, explaining what had happened.

After listening, Qi’s eyes widened: "My goodness...."

"Remarkable, isn’t it? That’s how I felt when I heard it, so miraculous."

Ling Feng smiled and continued, "In the vast universe, encountering this is a wonder among wonders, and Gonggong Great Deity deeply misses Zhurong Great Deity, wishing to chat with him. As a Huaxia, how could one possibly refuse such a request?"

"Indeed!"

Qi nodded and immediately said, "Brother Ling, come with me, I’ll take you underground!"

"Okay!"

Ling Feng nodded, and they headed straight for her spacecraft.

On the way, Ling Feng asked, "Last time we left, the passage was sealed. Do we need to dig it again this time?"

"No, we have already opened it!" Qi replied.

Ling Feng was puzzled: "Why?"

Qi laughed: "We are descendants of Zhurong, it’s convenient for future ancestor ceremonies."

"Oh, that’s indeed more convenient."

Ling Feng nodded.

The spacecraft returned to the Underground City he had visited, and then, without going elsewhere, they directly entered the passage leading deep beneath the earth.

Upon reaching the deep layers, Ling Feng shouted loudly, "Zhurong Great Deity, do you remember me?"

A deep voice echoed: "Of course, successor of Shennong, why are you here?"

"This time I’ve come to bring an old acquaintance to meet you!"

Ling Feng smiled and continued, "In the distant firmament, I’ve found Gonggong Great Deity and brought his Divine Sense along. I wonder if you’d like to see him!"

"Gonggong...."

Zhurong’s voice was deep, then quickly said, "Good, very good, please bring him!"

Ling Feng nodded and took out the blue sphere Gonggong had given him.

With a flash of blue light, the entire underground space turned a mysterious blue, followed by Gonggong’s voice: "Haha, old friend, who would’ve thought we’d have another chance to reunite!"

"Indeed, unexpected."

Zhurong said.

"Great Deities, you chat away, we won’t disturb you!"

Ling Feng thought to himself that while they were chatting, he didn’t want to be an audience. Better to head back first.

But Gonggong said: "You, go outside and wait for me. I’ll seek you out later!"

Ling Feng felt astonished: "Seek me out? Is there more to be done?"

"Yes, wait for me!"

Gonggong said, and suddenly Ling Feng and Qi both felt their bodies lighten, then they floated, directly heading towards the passage!

"...."

Ling Feng was speechless internally, but without resisting, was directly sent through the passage by Gonggong’s wondrous power.

Upon returning to the Underground City, he and Qi exchanged glances, both a bit bewildered.

"Brother Ling, why do you think Gonggong doesn’t want you to leave?" Qi blinked her big eyes and inquired.

Ling Feng wore a bitter smile: "I don’t know, perhaps he has something to tell?"
