Ange kept imprinting marks on it. He imprinted every shape and occasionally pulled it back to the first piece, which caused it to randomly flip into a new shape.

He felt like he was playing a kind of random simulation magic formation. The simulated magic formation had a random mode that, once started, randomly assigned terrain, weather, and temperature—all completely random.

At the beginning, Ange would randomly find himself in water, which made planting impossible, leading to immediate failure. But later, he learned underwater planting, with seaweed and other aquatic plants, which allowed him to grow crops in the water terrain.

There were also terrains full of rocks, covered with rubble and volcanic ash, entirely volcanic rock, and even magma. After entering the void, Ange added a void environment to it, starting directly in a cold, empty void.

Ange passed through each type of terrain,

and now he felt that this ghost fragment had a very random feel, constantly changing and flickering, revealing a brand-new shape from time to time that he had never seen before.

These different shapes were all fragments of different star souls or divine star souls.

The exotic ghost used some unknown means to mold countless divine star soul fragments into its own body, and the body’s fragments maintained this state, manifesting as a constantly flickering and changing form that no one could recognize due to its incompleteness.

This was the shadow formed by the accumulation of a mass of divine star soul fragments.

Previously, Luomu Luo’er had used black mist to fill its ’gaps’, stabilizing it. But that was essentially jamming the gear with a wedge, halting it without enhancing this star soul gathering piece.

Ange adopted another method. He imprinted marks on each gathering piece, allowing each piece to absorb incremental energy evenly. When it grew to a certain extent, it would tear itself apart due to the constant flickering, thereby splitting into two pieces.

When these split pieces were put together again, they would interlock like gears, and when they changed to a suitable form, they would mesh perfectly, eventually becoming a large ’engaged’ gathering piece.

This unprecedented mechanism made Ange very curious, unconsciously stuffing a large amount of black mist into it, turning the star soul gathering piece into a shadow as large as a divine star.

"Ange, Ange, stop for a moment, you’ve absorbed a quarter of the black mist! If you keep going, the divine star will become translucent." Negris shouted loudly, finally pulling Ange, who was lost in the shadow, to a halt.

A quarter? Ange looked left and right and found that there was indeed much less black mist, not a quarter but precisely a fifth of the black mist.

This was not a small number. If the Little Fireman Divine Star was one, then Luomu Luo’er is sixteen, with the black mist, its intensity equaled sixty-four Little Fireman Divine Stars.

In other words, just the black mist had a total strength of fifty Little Fireman Divine Stars, a fifth of which was ten Little Fireman Divine Stars.

Did this star soul gathering piece unknowingly absorb black mist totaling ten Little Fireman Divine Stars?

Ange scratched his head in confusion; he felt like he hadn’t absorbed that much.

"Could it be that with so many gathering pieces, the incremental black mist got dispersed?" Ursman and others proposed a reason after understanding what it was through Ange’s insight.

Ange found it reasonable and nodded.

Negris gasped, "Hiss—no wonder that exotic ghost is going around killing divine stars. If every gathering piece needs increments, even more divine stars wouldn’t be enough."

"Uh, he didn’t absorb any increments. He seems to have just devoured the star souls and made them into gathering pieces. In other words, with every divine star killed, the gathering piece increased by one. If increments were needed, it would require another replenishment." Ursman said.

"Right, he doesn’t want this black mist, so what’s he relying on to replenish energy?" Negris asked in shock.

"The master can absorb this black mist and strengthen these gathering pieces, meaning the black mist can supplement his power. But if he doesn’t want it, that means he has a more efficient way to replenish energy." Anthony said.

Ursman said, "He only wants star souls, not black mist. Does that mean star souls are a more efficient energy replenishment method?"

Negris said, "How to prove it? Should we find a divine star and try it?"

Everyone simultaneously turned towards Luomu Luo’er at this suggestion, making Luomu Luo’er’s consciousness fuzzy with the scrutiny, anxiously saying, "I’m an auxiliary star, just an auxiliary star. It’s useless to kill me."

Negris retorted, "Auxiliary stars are still stars and have star souls. If we find out you lied to us, we’ll just kill you."

Anthony, however, said, "Not killing him now? His mistakes are quite serious. Even if we don’t kill him, he should be severely punished. I suggest stripping him of his control over the main body and giving his main body to another star soul."

Luomu Luo’er’s actions amounted to betrayal, concealing critical information, and attempting to break free from control. Still, they didn’t want to kill him directly because he was the first divine star in this world and held much vital information.

As for the soul search, it was meaningless for a divine star of this magnitude, as its memory was too vast, and the chances of finding complete key memories were too low.

Everyone agreed, so Ange stripped Luomu Luo’er of control over the main body and created a small avatar for him with Star Flame.

However, the small avatar couldn’t temporarily house Luomu Luo’er’s star soul, so he had to temporarily remain in the main body and transfer the main body’s power to the small avatar.

Once the small avatar had transferred enough power to bear his star soul, then his soul would be transferred onto the avatar.

"You can only transfer the power of half a Little Fireman Divine Star; that’s enough to bear your star soul," Anthony said.

Luomu Luo’er wanted to object, but seeing the eager expressions of everyone, he gave up.

He could feel that Negris genuinely wanted to let him go this time, and Anthony thought he was still valuable and wanted to keep him for a while. But Ursman truly wanted to kill him, to test whether star souls or black mist were more effective for ghost stacks.

After punishing Luomu Luo’er, Ange also began to transfer consciousness to the ghost stacks, which was also a significant project. The number of stacks was so large that if the consciousness was only transferred to one stack, the consciousness would be interrupted after flickering.

So Ange needed to transfer consciousness to all stacks, with not a single one missing, fix the flickering, and then activate it when needed.

For others, even with stronger consciousness, it would be hard to achieve this. But ever since Ange entered the Divine Light Alliance, he had maintained a state of multiple avatars all along.

Multiple avatars coexisting had become his norm, and now he was just expanding the avatars to every stack.

After an unknown amount of time, the constantly flickering shadow suddenly stopped and slowly contracted inward, shrinking while transforming, eventually changing into Ange’s most commonly used human form.

"Hiss—ten Little Fireman Divine Stars of strength, and you shrink so small? How can others assess your strength by size?" Negris said, teeth aching.

In the void, judging an enemy’s strength depended on size. Even if playing the underdog, the size difference between a pig and a tiger wouldn’t be too large.

But the distinction between divine stars and star descendants was measured in billions. Ange compressed the power of ten divine stars into a human form. If some star descendants not paying attention ran into him and discovered he had the power of ten divine stars, it would truly be a magnificent sight.
