Chapter 1612: Chapter 1122: Thank You, Money Power!

Yun Shu very quickly noticed the difference between the two Immortal Shuttles.

Last time, when she rode Miss Tang’s Immortal Shuttle, even with Mister burning Immortal Jade the whole way to boost Speed, she could still stare at any given star outside the Immortal Shuttle window for quite a while.

But now, she couldn’t even make out the full shape of a star.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh!"

Countless shooting stars streaked past the porthole, and that was it. After a brief five minutes, the High Level Immortal Shuttle silently docked beside a world fragment, so steady that you could barely feel it had stopped.

"Mister, please wait a moment, I’ll be right back!" Yun Shu, moving with practiced ease, flew straight toward that fragment, searching along the way for traces of survivors.

This Void journey had a very clear objective.

Recovering these floating world fragments was just something to do along the way; Jiang Yuan’s most important goal lay deep in the distant Void—the God Sealing Platform. Of course, if he could bring back the Palace of the Polestar and the Demon Slaying Platform along with it, that would be even better!

The survivors floating in the Void had all received aid that literally fell from the sky. Even those who used to not believe in Immortals or Ghost Gods, after experiencing such massive upheaval and inexplicable material relief, had to believe at least a little.

Therefore, the overall work of recovering the world fragments went very smoothly.

No matter what the future might bring, it was still far better than drifting in the Void, never knowing where the next meal was coming from.

This kind of people, once they ran into Jiang Yuan, were directly saved; Mortals were sent to the Mortal Little World reassembled with the Riverfront Village instance at its center; Cultivators were sent to the Cultivator Little World pieced together with Mizhang Ridge at its core.

Given that it had long been decided that Sister Hai Shen’s huge Undersea World fragment would be used to make up for Mizhang Ridge, any new land obtained now would, if they liked it, be fused into the small courtyard or Conch Island; if it was only so-so, it would be fused into the corresponding areas according to category.

Although he had taken on the role of "Savior" and received the heartfelt gratitude of countless rescued Mortals and Cultivators along the way, the High Level Immortal Shuttle’s Speed was so fast that he quickly went numb.

Repeating the same thing every few minutes, every ten-odd minutes—no matter how immensely meritorious the act of saving people was—it was very easy to feel bored.

By contrast, Yun Shu stayed excited the whole time.

Even though she had to do the same thing and say the same words every ten-odd minutes, she felt incredibly useful!

On top of that, flying over each world fragment let her see a different landscape; seeing the plight of those Void refugees and then their heartfelt gratitude afterward, Yun Shu was genuinely happy that they had been saved.

The number of light dots on the Void Detector kept decreasing, and just as the Demon Beast World, the newly fused Cultivator World, and the Mortal World were about to reach 100% and become a newly born world, Jiang Yuan saw an unforgettable scene through the porthole—

On the left side of the Immortal Shuttle, at some unknown distance, a black dot suddenly appeared in the dim Void.

A patch of absolute black with no light at all made the slowly expanding black hole look like an ink blot on a two-dimensional plane. It expanded very quickly, and the Immortal Shuttle, under its terrifying pull, even paused slightly despite its high-speed flight.

"A black hole!" Yun Shu had experienced this personally and knew well how terrifying it was to be caught by a black hole, so she cried out at once, "Mister, what do we do?"

A lot of thoughts flashed through her mind, but not a single one could guarantee that Mister would be able to escape safely. Yun Shu tensed up all over, staring blankly at the black hole as it rapidly expanded.

Other than that terrifying blackness, she couldn’t see anything at all.

Meanwhile, under the pull, countless scattered rocks in the Void slid toward the black hole like meteors and vanished.

"Don’t worry, the Immortal Shuttle we’re in can completely shake off the black hole’s pull." Jiang Yuan stayed calm; after all, if they were really in danger, the system would have already started alarm mode.

Now there wasn’t any reaction at all, and the Immortal Shuttle was still moving along the predetermined route on the map, which meant it wasn’t a big problem.

When the system issued the Advanced Immortal Shuttle Blueprint, it had clearly marked: it could "easily break free of a black hole’s pull." Anything the system labeled as "easy" definitely wouldn’t be weak.

Good thing Jiang Yuangang had just recovered the nearby world fragments; otherwise, no matter how big a fragment was, it would’ve ended up like those rocks, sucked in with its fate unknown.

In what felt like no time at all, from the moment the black hole appeared, to when it expanded and took up the entire view of the left porthole of the Immortal Shuttle, the whole process was barely over a minute.

The Immortal Shuttle was still barreling forward at high Speed, but with the black hole as a reference point, it gave the illusion that they’d been caught and were no longer moving.

[A passage leading to the Outer Heaven Demon lair. The Outer Heaven Demons, who are committed to polluting from the inside out, use this method to corrupt living beings and then release them to randomly contaminate other Little Worlds. However, due to the existence of world barriers, even the Outer Heaven Demons must consume a tremendous amount of Energy to open a single black hole.]

[Consume one hundred million Spirit Stones to let the Immortal Shuttle fire an electric cannon at the Outer Heaven Demons hiding in their lair?]

When the black hole expanded to a certain size, the system lazily popped up a window.

Jiang Yuan’s interest was instantly piqued!

Just a hundred million, no big deal; this kind of opportunity was rare—he absolutely had to zap Them once and let Them get a taste of how salty it was!

He chose "Yes" without the slightest hesitation. As the Gold Coins special effect sound rang in his ears and his account balance dropped by a hundred million, the Immortal Shuttle slowly began to turn.

"Ah! Mister, what are you doing?" Yun Shu realized that Mister was steering the Immortal Shuttle to turn and face the black hole, and her entire Puppet body went blurry from fear. "Are we going in on purpose? Won’t that be dangerous?"

Jiang Yuan patted her shoulder and said gently, "Relax, just watch."

This thing had cost him a full hundred million! The largest top-up in history—knowing the system’s style, after spending that much money, it would definitely serve up something big!
