My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!-Chapter 1062 - 630: Whale Fall

"Boom~"

Amidst the roaring engine noise, a Boeing passenger jet rose into the sky.

Seeing the plane that Meng Qingqing was on gradually disappear into the clouds, Meng Lang finally withdrew his gaze.

But then he heard a sigh beside him.

"Really nice..."

Confused, he looked at Yan Weiwei beside him.

"What?"

Yan Weiwei was looking in the direction where the plane had disappeared, her eyes somewhat envious.

"Don't you think people with dreams are really happy? Knowing what they want to do and working hard for it, never feeling lost..."

"Uh..."

What dreams, what never feeling lost? Can I tell you that a few days ago this girl was still thinking about how to get by doing nothing?

"Wasn't your dream to become an expert of Huajin?"

"It used to be, but not anymore."

"Why?"

"If it's something that can be achieved with a single injection, would you still consider it a dream?"

Uh... So you're blaming me for it?

Is this what they call the perpetual longing for the unattainable?

When it's easily achieved, you actually find it boring?

"Ahem! Actually, on the way to a dream, there are occasionally shortcuts.

Whether you take them or not depends on if you value the process more or the result..."

Yan Weiwei: "..."

Feeling somewhat insulted, Yan Weiwei glared angrily at Meng Lang.

"Then why don't you tell me about the process at the seaside that day.

Why was Haitang's eyes red when we came back, even though everything was fine when we left?"

"Uh... Didn't Haitang say sand got in her eyes?"

"Lies, even a child wouldn't believe that. I've noticed Haitang is somewhat absent-minded even at work these past few days.

I'm warning you, don't think that just because Haitang has a good temper, you can bully her without consequences.

If I find out you've bullied her and made her upset, even if you're an expert of Huajin, I won't hesitate to hit you!"

Yan Weiwei shook her fist, threatening fiercely.

Meng Lang sighed helplessly.

With those words said, bullying anyone, I wouldn't dare to bully her...

Because it was a weekday, only Meng Lang and Yan Weiwei came to the airport to see Meng Qingqing off.

In the parking lot, they found Yan Weiwei's Porsche 911, and just as Yan Weiwei fastened her seatbelt, she saw Meng Lang in the passenger seat pulling out an A4 paper printout...

"Guide to Breeding Starry Sky Beasts"?

Yan Weiwei, who had sharp eyes, spotted the title on it...

"What the heck, are you keeping a pet?"

"Well... sort of." Meng Lang opened the document and started studying it, replying casually.

"You're joking, right? You still have to bum meals for yourself, and you're keeping a pet?" Yan Weiwei rolled her eyes.

"I'm warning you, no keeping slimy, weird creatures, and besides, Haitang doesn't like pets."

"Hehe! Don't worry, Haitang will definitely like this one."

After all, this thing... was given by Lin Haitang...

But Yan Weiwei misunderstood.

"Humph! So it's to please Haitang, huh! But even if Haitang likes it, Xiao Yu is very clean, and if you keep some furry cats or dogs shedding all the time, she might go crazy!"

"Rest assured, this is no ordinary cat or dog, it doesn't shed..."

"Starry Sky Beast? Haven't heard of such a pet, is it cute?"

"It's pretty ugly, mostly because it's big."

"Big? How big?"

"I don't know; no one's ever measured, but it definitely won't fit in an ordinary house."

The more Yan Weiwei listened, the more perplexed she became.

"If it doesn't fit, how do you keep it?"

"Uh... Have you heard of cloud pet-keeping?"

Yan Weiwei: "..."

She had heard of it, but isn't that for fooling idiots?

...

First-class Residence.

Under Yan Weiwei's oddly sympathetic gaze, Meng Lang returned to his room.

Closing the door, he continued to focus on studying the "Guide to Breeding Starry Sky Beasts" in his hands...

Starry Sky Beasts, a type of massive social mega-beasts whose adult forms exceed millions of kilometers.

They possess ultra-strong exoskeletons resistant to corrosion, high heat, and radiation; they move slowly, utilizing celestial gravity to accelerate or change trajectory.

They feed on asteroids, use star cores as nurseries, and can even orbit closely around stars to absorb solar radiation.

However, their seed embryos have strict requirements for star core temperature, water sources, and even planetary magnetic fields.

Earth, deemed an excellent nurturing celestial body for Starry Sky Beasts...

Apart from their robust bodies adapted for cosmic navigation, the most unique feature of these Starry Sky Beasts is the "parasitic ecosystem" inside them!

Their vast, asteroid-like bodies, beneath thick exoskeletons, contain rich nutrients and ample energy-supplying flesh and blood.

To small organisms, it's like a space carrier, hosting various microorganisms and even large intelligent life forms, forming an independent ecosystem similar to a "whale fall."

Such colossal bodies, spanning over millions of kilometers, require not only robust physicality but also powerful nerve control and transmission systems...

Through long-term integration, conflicts, and evolution, the "Divine Race" ultimately stood atop the food chain of this vast parasitic ecosystem!

The Divine Race not only acts as the brain of the Starry Sky Beast, serving as a control center to steer this space carrier.

It also manages internal parasitic life forms, eliminating "harmful species," maintaining "probiotic colonies," ensuring the carrier's healthy voyage.

Simply put, it's a wondrous creature where the "brain" and "body" have distinct roles.

As for the Divine Race, it might be a product born from long-term natural selection inside the Starry Sky Beast.

Or perhaps an invasive parasitic species that took over the original brain of the Starry Sky Beast, occupying the nest...

Ultimately, through long-term integration, the body of the Starry Sky Beast became a treasured vessel for the Divine Race to traverse the cosmos.

Or you could say, a free spaceship.

No! To the Divine Race, the Starry Sky Beast was akin to Earth for humans, essentially a home...

No wonder the "Clan" under their control excelled in sonic wave system skills.

After all, inside the Starry Sky Beast, much like an underground world—dark and complex—such an environment lets sonic wave skills shine the most.

[Who said we live on a planet?]

At this moment, Meng Lang finally understood why the one called "Chao Shu" had replied that way when he asked at the time.

Indeed, they don't live on planets; instead, they make their home in the Starry Sky Beasts.

They aren't some "alien civilization" born on planets, but a "parasitic civilization" within cosmic creatures, living a nomadic, migratory lifestyle.

From one galaxy... to another... 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

And the Divine Race, being both the brain of the Starry Sky Beast and the master of its internal parasitic community.

Bestowing life or death, not based on preference but to maintain ecological balance...

Reading this introduction, Meng Lang couldn't help but sigh; it wasn't for lack of imagination.

Truly, the macro-world Star Giant Beast, even its internal microorganisms, was a world in itself...

Can you imagine not only controlling your limbs but also introspecting within, even freely adjusting the probiotics in your stomach?

Even the Starry Sky Beast itself wouldn't have expected that while wandering...

The brain would become sentient...
