Lin Feng asked the critical question.
He knew of the existence of cosmic pirates.
Cosmic pirates, much like groups of marauders, were divided into several factions.
The combat strength between each group varied, some strong, some weak.
In this galaxy, there were two cosmic pirate groups, both possessing extremely formidable power.
Of course, to Lin Feng, they were merely ants.
"From what I know, cosmic pirates cannot withstand the power of the Cosmic Cube. Can you explain?" Lin Feng continued.
If you told me gods gave you the Cosmic Cube to help you develop, I would believe you.
Because the energy provider for the Cosmic Cube is an alien race from an unknown dimension, the Beyonders.
The purpose of the alien race providing energy for the Cosmic Cube is to test humanity's desires and study the process of human evolution.
However, the creation of the Cosmic Cube, while not simple, is not overly difficult.
One needs to create a special, sufficiently stable energy field, and then open a rift between it and the dimension occupied by the Beyonders. After that, energy from the alien dimension is poured into the energy field through the rift.
Once this energy field is filled with alien energy, it will transform into a perfect cube.
Therefore, as long as one finds a way to create the energy field and connect to the alien dimension, even an ordinary person can manufacture a Cosmic Cube.
Yet, even an incomplete Cosmic Cube is capable of transcending omnipotence.
Its energy and omnipotence surpass all human imagination, making it an almost unrivaled existence even within the omniverse.
The Cosmic Cube can control elements, manipulate space-time, and defy logic.
With the Cosmic Cube, could a race be annihilated by cosmic pirates?
You must be joking!
"You've overlooked something, Mr. Lin Feng,"
Xixing, the proprietress, who had raised her younger sister and struggled through the years, understood Lin Feng's suspicion from his question.
"While the Cosmic Cube is powerful, very few people can use it perfectly!"
"Not everyone is as powerful as you..." Xixing's resentful gaze held a peculiar charm, making Lin Feng's heart skip a beat.
"The elder used the Cosmic Cube to eliminate nearly half of the cosmic pirates and then couldn't sustain it..."
Hmm... that makes sense.
Her words made Lin Feng feel comfortable; indeed, not everyone was as powerful as himself.
"And then what? Did the Cosmic Cube fall into the pirates' hands?"
Xixing shook her head.
"No."
"The Cosmic Cube developed self-awareness at that time and teleported itself away..."
"Subsequently, it vanished into the universe."
At this point, Xixing paused. "Well, that's my speculation. Otherwise, without anyone controlling it, the Cosmic Cube shouldn't have disappeared on its own..."
"Only a year ago did the Cosmic Cube begin to reappear in the universe."
"Our race has a unique sense that can detect the presence of the Cosmic Cube."
"This is a method left by the god who gifted us the Cosmic Cube, and only I know it!"
As she spoke, Xixing flipped her small hand.
A projection of a small, blue-glowing cube surprisingly appeared in her hand!
A faint, transparent blue thread on it pointed vaguely in the direction of the black hole.
Xixing had followed this to find him.
"After the Cosmic Cube disappeared, the enraged pirates turned our homeworld into a wasteland, utterly barren."
"I don't know what kind of radiation weapon they used; no life forms can exist on the planet anymore."
Xixing's eyes held a hint of sadness, mingled with anger.
"I have waited for hundreds of years to rebuild our home!"
"I will never give up on it!"
Lin Feng listened, somewhat bewildered, but it wasn't entirely difficult to comprehend.
It's just...
"May I ask your esteemed age?" Lin Feng couldn't help but ask.
Waited for hundreds of years?
That meant Xixing had to be at least several hundred years old.
Were succubi lifespans that long?
And that little sister named Chuxing, was she also an ancient being disguised as a child???
Xixing cast Lin Feng a strange glance.
Why were this person's points of focus so odd?
Ignoring Lin Feng, Xixing already had a plan for cooperation.
She chose to directly change the subject.
"The Cosmic Cube is about to appear, let me make a deal with you."
"My goal is simple: to restore the vitality of our homeworld."
"As long as it regains its vitality, our race can continue to procreate!"
"I have a way to make the Cosmic Cube follow me, but I cannot protect it!"
"You protect me, and I will use the Cosmic Cube to rebuild our home."
"Afterward, the Cosmic Cube will be yours, how about it?"
Xixing felt her proposed cooperation was flawless, a clear case of each party getting what they needed.
She had already thought it through: possession of valuable items invites trouble.
Her race couldn't safeguard a treasure like the Cosmic Cube.
Instead of this, it was better to gift it to a powerful being in the universe in exchange for protection.
Yes, a powerful being like Lin Feng.
"No, no, no, your setting is wrong!"
Lin Feng retorted.
"Why are you guys so similar to elves?"
"As long as there's vitality, you can procreate? Are you asexually reproducing?"
Are there only two females left in your race, her and her sister?
This isβ
"Time is running out, the Cosmic Cube will emerge from the black hole soon. Prepare yourself!"
