Added content to chapter 130
🕑 Added 2023-06-20 20:18:58 +0000 UTCDue to some reader suggestions, I added around 500 words of extra content to the last chapter. None of it changes the story, so don't worry, it's just extra content, is all.
Going to post the two added sections below so you can quickly read them if you want :)
The next chapter will be in a few hours...
[Added content part 1: Worm Fight]
Before Douglas could even open his mouth to explain, the end of the Ashlock's vine whipped out from the Mystic Realm, dragging the all too familiar Star Core Realm worm with it.
Although far smaller than its full size, the enormous worm was still a few hundred meters long and gnawing on his vine. Ashlock sent a surge of spatial Qi down the vine and straight into the worm's body, causing it to screech and try to reel back, but the spike on the end of the vine was deeply entrenched inside its body's inner wall like a harpoon.
With the worm somewhat under control, Ashlock didn't delay as he toggled the void version of his {Consuming Abyss} skill. The usual lake of void Qi spread out from his trunk, and hundreds of tendrils shot out, impaling the worm gnawing on the end of his vine, causing it to let out another ear-piercing screech before falling to the ground beside a terrified Douglas, causing the mountain to tremble.
Once on the ground, that sealed the worm's fate. The void lake flowed against its body and washed away any feeble defense. The worm segment released a final cry as it became blanketed in void Qi.
"It almost ate me!" Douglas shouted as he hauled himself and his bloodied self away from the worm-turned Swiss Cheese from all the holes leaking blood.
Ashlock wanted to call him a drama queen, but his body did suggest a life-or-death battle. "It's a good job that I decided to send in my vines. Otherwise, Douglas might have become worm food."
Diana stood up and went to Douglas's side, offering him help. Meanwhile, Ashlock got to work on devouring the corpse for sacrificial credits.

[Added content part 2: Stella character development]
A massive grin manifested on her face as she stood up and stretched. Her bones cracked, and her muscles protested the stretch as she had been sitting perfectly still for the last month, but it was finally over. She had successfully formed every cultivator's dream—a Star Core.
Something her biological father had failed to do. Perhaps if he had access to Tree's amazing cultivation resources, he wouldn't have perished and left her alone for those early years...
Stella reached up and placed her hand on her chest as she sighed. It was a spatial Star Core, the last remnant of her biological father, as it had been passed down to her through blood. In a way, he would live on through her, and that was all she needed.
"Mother... Father, don't worry about your daughter. I'm in good hands... err, I mean branches..." The image of Tree flashed through her mind, and a warm feeling spread throughout her.
Shaking her head, she focused back on the feeling in her chest. It felt so weird for the burning star in her chest to constantly supply her body with a stream of spatial Qi without any need on her part to meditate.

That worm is getting the most literal reading of the term "divide and conquer"

Thank you, it does'improve slightly the chapter, the part about the worm was more confusing before the changes
