Of course, many people might covet the two fruits. Among them, there had to be some experts at the Peak of the Fate Realm, even experts of A Half Step to the Supreme Realm. It would probably be very difficult to grab the two fruits from right under their noses. Any carelessness would claim lives. Minghe certainly knew the risks.
Nobody could land on the sun and the moon in the Starry Sky Region. At least, on record, no creature had landed on them before. Perhaps only a few creatures could step on the two stars temporarily, but they could not sustain for a long time. Minghe roughly predicted that if he stepped on the two stars with his current Indestructible Demon Body, he would lose the ability to move, then die out in endless fire or cold air, and eventually perish.
If he could obtain the two fruits, take advantage of the Origin of the sun and the moon, and practice his Indestructible Demon Body to the extreme, Minghe might be able to survive in the two stars for a while. Meanwhile, he might be able to make a great fortune overnight, when everything above the sun and moon opened up for him.
It was not simple to seize the two fruits. Leaving aside so many experts, Hongjun might target the two fruits. Although they had decided to collaborate, Minghe did not trust Hongjun. Moreover, he knew little about Hongjun. It could be risky to join forces with such a mysterious figure.
While it was risky, it could be beneficial. Hongjun's mystery also indicated that he was powerful. From his previous manner in the conversation, Minghe predicted that Hongjun might obtain some good Fated Chances, since he had come to the Battlefield of Gods and Demons for so long. As a result, Hongjun should now have some self-protection means at least. In cooperation with Hongjun, Minghe would feel less stressed.
And then, the next step was endless waiting. It was uncertain how long it would take for the fruits to mature fully. According to the present situation, it might take tens of thousands of years at least. During this period, more creatures would be attracted here. Until then, the fruits could not meet the needs of the people. It would be extremely difficult to grab the Fruits of Stars of the Origin.
Sitting cross-legged in the starry sky, Minghe also went into meditation. Because of the Star Tree of Origin, more and more Power of Stars gathered around. The star region had become a Holy Land of cultivation with intense Power of Stars, so Minghe would not miss such a good opportunity for cultivation.
After 60,000 years, the Star Tree of Origin had accelerated in absorbing the Power of Stars of the sun and the moon. Having sensed this sudden change, all who gathered there took tiny actions. Most of them began to gather in threes and fours. Some people of the same force also divided into many small groups. After all, when collaborating, people only trusted people familiar to them.
At this moment, Minghe and Hongjun opened eyes at the same time, and looked at the changing crowd. They looked at each other, the meaning of which was obvious. The fruits were about to ripen, so everyone who was attracted here could not wait anymore. Everyone had a goal, but the fruits were limited, so there would be a fierce battle.
In order to deter others, almost all people, more or less, showed some of their momentums. When countless momentums interacted in the starry sky, the atmosphere of the whole starry sky was uninspiring, as if the universe became very depressing, when the clouds gathered black above the sea before the storm.
Although the atmosphere was quite strange, it was convenient for Minghe. He looked around and counted the number of people who were attracted here by the Star Tree of Origin. There were more than 8,000 people in total, including over 1,000 experts of the Fate Realm. Among them, five people were at the peak, nearly a hundred people were at the Late Stage, and the rest were at the Middle Stage and the Early Stage. Fortunately, there were no expert who reached A Half Step to the Supreme Realm.
Minghe finally understood that despite the fact that the Fruits of Stars of the Origin were very good, the efficacy was inversely proportional to a man's cultivation. Only a few experts at the peak of the Fate Realm came here. Thus, it could be seen that the fruits did little to entice experts who reached such a realm. He wondered why the five experts of such a realm came here.
Judging from their expressions, it was evident that they were targeting the two fruits with the Origin of the sun and the moon. Although he also aimed to obtain the two fruits, Minghe did not plan to take action at the beginning. All the five people were horrifyingly powerful. Without a formation, Minghe would be no match for them. Instead, he'd better reap the spoils when both sides were exhausted.
