As the spaceship approached the Elven Star, Su Yu was able to observe the emerald-green planet more clearly.
"The entire planet is covered in green!" Su Yu was visibly shocked.
It was as if the entire Elven Star were a massive Star Dou Forest.
Just like the environment of the Star Dou Forest, this kind of terrain could generate a vast amount of natural life force in its core every year, giving birth to Life Gold.
Although the rate of birth was slow, the process was continuous and unending.
With such a massive planet sharing that same environment, it was imaginable that treasures containing life attributes would naturally be born here.
However, Su Yu was no longer the lowly Soul Sect who once relied on Life Gold. He was now a Titled Douluo, and had even reached the level where he could manipulate the laws of life. If he wished, he could now condense Life Gold on his own.
Ordinary life-attribute treasures no longer impressed him.
"The planet's entire energy aura exudes vitality. Even if it's not pure life force, it's still incredibly potent."
In an environment like this, ordinary injuries could heal rapidly. As long as the injury didn't damage muscles or bones, it would recover without the need for treatment.
"The natives of this planet are powerful as well."
As the spaceship neared the outer space of the Elven Star, Su Yu sensed the presence of its unique native inhabitants.
With such an extraordinary environment, the race that evolved on the Elven Star was clearly highly developed in terms of civilization.
Even so, the Elven Star's development had ultimately reached a bottleneck.
"There are individuals close to god-level strength, but none have truly reached it," Su Yu silently noted.
Comparing it with the current state of the Douluo Star, he made a judgment.
The Elven Star was stronger than the Douluo Star.
At least, in terms of foundational strength, it was superior.
"A life-based planet reaching this level of development through natural evolution is unlikely. It's probably the work of the Elven race, who transformed the entire planet to promote evolution through life energy."
Yet even now, despite such abundant life energy, they still hadn't broken through that limit.
"It seems something unexpected happened."
The Elven race had worked for generations to push forward — both in developing their race and maintaining the Elven Star itself.
However, just when they reached their peak, they suffered a betrayal — the dark elves turned against them, causing severe damage to their strength.
As a result, the Elven Star's evolution was delayed.
Su Yu didn't know the specifics, but he could infer that some major event had occurred.
"There are several with Limit Douluo-level strength, similar to the current Douluo Continent."
A better environment truly did result in more top-level powerhouses.
Su Yu knew his own background well — the current number of top-tier powerhouses on Douluo Continent was an anomaly, not something a lower plane could normally produce through natural progression.
It was the result of exhausting resources for short-term gains.
If the world wanted sustainable growth, the number of Limit Douluos it could naturally support would be extremely limited.
Only due to the current exceptional circumstances, along with Su Yu's reforms, had the soul master world's destiny been continuously rising, triggering a transformation of the entire Douluo Star.
"There are seven Limit Douluo-level auras, but only two with quasi-god-level intensity," Su Yu noted. His perception was incredibly sharp, and his current use of the power of fate was no longer restricted to just one plane — it now connected with the fate of the entire universe.
Even just sensing their auras revealed overwhelming strength.
If any of them wielded special powers or had the ability to fight beyond their level, they might even rival true gods.
"Still, they pose little threat to me."
Su Yu was confident he could move unhindered across the Elven Star.
That said, the Elven race had long cherished peace, and he had no reason to clash with them.
"Huh, are they guiding me?"
Su Yu felt a powerful aura from the Elven race directing him in some way.
Following their guidance, he steered the spaceship accordingly. Spreading his spiritual power, he discovered an open space — a rare area on the Elven Star not covered by trees. From space, it appeared as just a tiny dot, too small to notice.
He maneuvered the ship into the clearing.
As the spaceship's hatch opened, Su Yu found himself surrounded by a group of Elven tribe members, all watching him with curiosity.
The Elven tribe members all looked at Su Yu's spaceship with curious eyes, as if they had never seen anything like it before.
"Hello, stranger," came a wave of spiritual energy, and Su Yu understood the meaning behind it.
He turned his gaze toward the elf standing at the center of the group.
She wore a long green dress and appeared to be about thirty years old. Her features were delicate, her skin fair, with a pair of pointed ears. Her long, pale green hair cascaded down her back, and atop her head rested a pale golden crown.
Her eyes held a kind and gentle expression as she looked at Su Yu.
Since she sensed no hostility or malice from him, the Elven tribe welcomed him warmly.
"Hello. May I ask if this is the Elven Star?"
"Yes, it is."
Su Yu communicated with the Elven Queen.
He learned that the Elven Star maintained connections with many major cosmic powers, unlike the Douluo Star, and was well-informed about most of the universe's intelligence.
"Your spaceship is very unique," the Elven Queen said, seeing a spherical ship for the first time.
In her experience, spaceships typically carried armed weaponry, but this round-shaped vessel appeared to have no visible weapon mounts.
Could it really be unarmed?
A spaceship without weapons traveling through the universe would be extremely vulnerable.
However, the aura from this visitor was deep and unfathomable—she could detect no weakness at all.
It seemed he was confident in himself.
She didn't dwell too much on the spaceship and instead began to inquire about Su Yu's purpose.
"Traveling?" The Elven Queen was somewhat surprised by his answer.
Wouldn't it be better to travel within his own homeland?
Venturing across the universe just to gain experience seemed a bit excessive.
Space travel was no simple matter, and few journeys spanned the entire cosmos.
Especially not through star systems controlled by other forces.
Even when traveling, most expeditions were about gaining knowledge or participating in exchanges between allied powers.
For example, after forming an alliance with the Elven Star, both sides would send personnel back and forth to strengthen their ties.
Su Yu's approach was truly unorthodox.
Traveling alone through the universe.
The Elven Queen felt this was less like traveling and more like wandering.
"Could he be a poor soul who lost his home?" she wondered quietly.
Under the Elven Queen's guidance, Su Yu soon arrived at the heartland of the Elven tribe.
"Your Majesty, to be frank, my journey is to broaden my horizons and seek opportunities to build my foundation, preparing for the breakthrough to god-level," Su Yu said.
"Many geniuses trapped at god-level come to our Elven Star hoping to find a way to break through," the Elven Queen said with a wry smile.
The Elven Star was indeed powerful.
It was even said to help with breaking through to god-level, but no native elf had yet achieved god-level.
Still, even on the Elven Star, reaching that breakthrough was no simple feat—only theoretically possible.
If someone did break through, it would be a heavy burden for the entire Elven Star.
Unless the proper price was paid, the Elven tribe would not allow these many geniuses to break through on their planet.
The absence of god-level elites among the elves did not mean the Elven Star lacked god-level potential. After all, the tribe had nearly evolved their entire realm into a god-level plane; their foundational strength was evident.
"Oh?" Su Yu's interest piqued as he heard many geniuses came to the Elven Star to break through. He guessed the planet must harbor treasures beneficial to such breakthroughs.
"Your heart is pure. Even I can sense a deep kinship from your essence with the Elven tribe."
"Could it be because I cultivate life attributes?" Su Yu wondered silently.
"Life attribute?" The Elven Queen nodded in understanding, seemingly recognizing the source of that sense of familiarity.
"Your Majesty, I'd like to explore the Elven Star a bit. Would that be possible?" Su Yu, being led by the Queen, felt it inappropriate to begin researching the star without permission, so he made his request.
"You may. I'll assign two of my people to act as guides and show you the history and unique features of various regions on the Elven Star."
The Elven Queen summoned two elf maidens, gave them a few instructions, and after exchanging a few more words with Su Yu, departed.
"Greetings, Senior Su Yu. I'm Xiaoyun, and she's Xiaoduo."
Su Yu gave them a small nod in acknowledgment.
As he wandered through different parts of the Elven Star, Su Yu gradually sensed the distribution patterns of its life energy. Eventually, he couldn't help but ask, "I can feel the dense life force throughout this planet. It should already have the qualifications to ascend to a god-level world. Why is it still considered an ordinary plane?"
Xiaoyun and Xiaoduo's expressions shifted slightly. Inwardly, they thought, Why didn't he ask Her Majesty? How would two little sixth-rank elves like us possibly know the full story of something that major?
"What's wrong? Is it something that can't be talked about?" Su Yu asked with curiosity.
"Senior, this matter relates to our Elven tribe's history and touches on something that could damage our dignity," Xiaoyun replied cautiously.
Su Yu understood and nodded, choosing not to press further.
But in truth, his mind was already at work. If I could help the Elven Star evolve into a god-level plane… what would I gain in return?
Helping the Elven Star for no reason was, of course, out of the question. But if there were benefits involved in the process, Su Yu certainly wouldn't turn them down.
And the benefits of aiding a planet in breaking through to god-level were bound to be considerable.
Still, Su Yu wanted even more than that.
"I obviously won't break through just because the plane does," Su Yu thought. He wasn't in a rush to reach god-level; his goal was to build up his foundation before confronting the Devouring Abyss.
From Rong Nianbing, he had learned one crucial thing: breaking through to god-level was already difficult, but condensing a divine position afterward was even more troublesome.
Condensing a divine position required an entirely separate set of resources—resources the individual would need to provide themselves.
However, if one managed to break through and condense a divine position simultaneously, only one set of resources would be required.
Breaking through to God King level wasn't just a matter of strength—it demanded an astronomical amount of energy. Even combining all the energy of the Douluo Continent and the Abyss wasn't enough.
The Abyssal Saint Lord merely fantasized about challenging a God King after consuming the Douluo Continent and relying on a supreme divine weapon. He had never truly believed he could break through to God King himself. It was only after seeing Su Yu's nascent divine position that such ambition had taken root.
That's why breaking through directly to God King level in one step was nearly impossible—it required a sea's worth of energy.
Even though Su Yu believed he could rely on his comprehension and accumulated insight rather than brute-forcing it with raw energy, he didn't dare claim he'd need significantly less energy than others.
After all, while he replaced much of the required energy with deep understanding, his insights were not only numerous but incredibly complex and diverse.
If the Elven Star could ascend to a god-level world, Su Yu could use that opportunity for deep insight—on one hand, gaining reference for helping the Douluo Star ascend in the future, and on the other, absorbing the immense life energy released during the ascension as personal accumulation.
Most importantly, helping the Elven Star evolve would bring the Elven tribe and himself into a closer relationship.
In that case, Su Yu alone could effectively represent the Federation in forming an alliance with the Elven tribe.
And when the time came for the final war, borrowing a few powerhouses from the Elves would give him far greater security.
Especially since, during the planetary breakthrough, many of the Elven powerhouses would also have a chance to advance. After all, they had nurtured and protected this planet for countless years—no doubt the planet's consciousness had long formed a deep bond with them.
"Scarlet Domain's recent actions might be connected to the Abyss. Could it be that the Abyss has leaked some kind of message into the universe...?"
The Scarlet Domain might not be the Abyss's ally, but it was clearly being used by them.
And whether a willing ally or not, being used made them one all the same.
"You can have allies—but so can I."
Su Yu didn't bring up the matter of helping the Elven Star ascend to a god-level plane in front of Xiaoyun and Xiaoduo.
They were just two sixth-rank elves—far too minor to discuss such a monumental issue with.
"Let's pick up the pace. I want to explore the entire Elven Star."
"Huh?"
Xiaoyun and Xiaoduo were both surprised.
Isn't he here to seek opportunities and inspiration?
Why walk all over the planet like this? Even if you visit every region, what could you possibly gain from that?
But since Su Yu had made his intention clear, they had no choice but to keep up with him—offering explanations about each place they reached before Su Yu arrived.
The Elven Star was vast.
Even with Su Yu's exceptional comprehension, analyzing the planet's entire life-force flow required considerable mental effort.
Still, the benefits were undeniable.
The Elven Star was a paradise of life—its capacity to nurture vitality was unmatched.
By studying the patterns of vital energy flowing through the entire planet, Su Yu gained deep insights into the laws of life itself.
And so, with Xiaoyun and Xiaoduo accompanying him, Su Yu's steps touched every corner of the Elven Star.
The planet was several times larger than the Douluo Star—and unlike most planets, its entire surface was land. This journey took a full month.
"How is he? Still aimlessly wandering around the Elven Star?"
The Elven Queen frowned as she questioned the refined elf standing before her.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Xiaoyun and Xiaoduo are still accompanying Su Yu on his 'tour' of the planet."
Sigh…
"I still don't know what that man's goal really is," the Elven Queen said, letting out a quiet breath.
She reached out mentally, connecting with her partner—the Spirit Dragon that had long been her companion.
"Are you certain you felt something... unprecedented from him?"
"Yes," came a voice echoing within the Elven Queen's consciousness.
"After Su Yu appeared, I could feel the entire Elven Star growing more vibrant."
The whole Elven Star had become more vibrant.
The Elven Queen fell silent.
In truth, she had sensed it too.
The life energy of the Elven Star had become almost sentient, as if the planet itself had awakened.
And the change grew even more pronounced as Su Yu continued his journey.
The life force in every region he visited seemed to surge to a new level.
"He may truly be a great benefactor to our Elven race…"
