The light of the transmission channel flickered, and Zhang Cheng's figure was looming in it. He anxiously asked Du Yun who was walking in front of him: "Do you really know the whereabouts of the Star Flower? Klinda's life is in danger, I must find it as soon as possible!"

Du Yun stopped and turned to look at Zhang Cheng, a mysterious smile on his face, "I have indeed heard some rumors, but it is hard to tell whether they are true or not."

Zhang Cheng's heart instantly rose to his throat, "What rumor? Tell me now!"

Du Yun stopped smiling and spoke in a serious tone, "Legend has it that the Flower of Creation is hidden in an ancient ruin on Dragon Star. It is the birthplace of the dragon race and contains powerful cosmic energy, but it is also full of dangers."

"Long Xing..." Zhang Cheng repeated the unfamiliar name in a low voice, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Dragon Star is an ancient planet on the edge of the universe, where the powerful dragon race lives." Du Yun explained, "But it is not easy to enter Dragon Star. You need to get the recognition of the dragon race."

Zhang Cheng took a deep breath and his eyes became firm. "No matter what, for Klinda, I have to go to Dragon Star!"

Du Yun patted Zhang Cheng on the shoulder and said earnestly: "I know you are anxious, but going to Dragon Star is not easy. You need to be fully prepared, otherwise you will die in vain."

"I understand." Zhang Cheng nodded. He knew that what Du Yun said made sense.

"I will provide you with some help." Du Yun said, taking out a scale that was shining with strange light from his arms, "This is a dragon scale, which can guide you to the direction of Dragon Star."

Zhang Cheng took the dragon scale and put it away solemnly, "Thank you, Duyun."

Du Yun smiled slightly, and without saying anything more, he turned around and continued to walk forward. The exit of the transmission channel was already in sight, and they were about to reach their next destination.

"Wait!" Zhang Cheng suddenly thought of something and quickly caught up with Du Yun, "You haven't told me yet where the Star Creation Flower is on Dragon Star..."

Du Yun stopped but did not look back. He just said softly: "You need to find the answer yourself..." Before he finished speaking, his figure disappeared at the end of the transmission channel.

The light flickered, and Zhang Cheng appeared at the other end of the teleportation array. He clenched the dragon scale in his hand, and Du Yun's words still echoed in his ears. Although they were just a few words, they were like a ray of light, illuminating the confusion in Zhang Cheng's heart. He knew that for the sake of Klinda, he had to grasp this only hope, no matter what the road ahead was, he would go through it.

He returned to the rest area arranged by the Galactic Alliance for him. It was well-equipped but cold and lifeless. Zhang Cheng had no time to care about these things. He immediately opened the interstellar network and began to search for all the information about "Dragon Star". However, to his dismay, there were very few records about Dragon Star, and the few words revealed mystery and danger.

"Dragon Star, located at the edge of the universe, is the origin of the dragon race. It has powerful cosmic energy and is difficult for outsiders to enter..." Zhang Cheng looked at the sporadic introduction on the screen with a frown. This information was too general and could not provide him with any substantial help.

He tried changing keywords, searching for "Dragon Clan", "Flower of the Creation Star", and even "Ancient Ruins", but the results were all disappointing. Dragon Star was like a forgotten corner of the universe, covered with a thick veil, making it impossible to peek into its true appearance.

Time passed by, and Zhang Cheng was restless. Klinda's condition was getting worse and worse, and he had to find the Star Creation Flower as soon as possible. Could it be that he really had to go to Dragon Star alone as Duyun said, and look for that illusory hope in the vast sea of stars?

At this moment, a quick reminder sounded, and on Zhang Cheng's communicator, the image of Clinda flashed...

"Zhang Cheng..." Kelinda's voice was weak and powerless, as if it could be blown away by the wind. She forced a smile on her pale face, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine..."

"Kelinda!" Seeing his lover so weak, Zhang Cheng felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He wanted so much to cross the sea of stars, appear beside her immediately, and hold her in his arms.

Clinda's breath became weaker and weaker, and her vision began to become blurry. She said intermittently: "Don't... give up... hope..."

The communication was interrupted, and only the shadow of Clinda gradually disappeared on the screen. Zhang Cheng closed his eyes in pain and clenched his fists, his knuckles turning bluish-white.

"Do you want to save her?"

A deep and rich voice sounded in the room. Zhang Cheng suddenly opened his eyes and saw an old man wearing a star robe and with white hair and beard who appeared in the center of the room. He held a dragon-headed cane in his hand, and his eyes were as deep as the starry sky, as if he could see through everything.

"Who are you?" Zhang Cheng asked vigilantly. His powerful mental power instantly locked onto the old man, but he found that he could not see through the other person at all.

"You can call me the Wise Man of Dragon Star." The old man smiled slightly, "I know why you came here, and I understand your anxiety. The Flower of Creation does exist, and it is sleeping deep in the Dragon Star."

Hearing the words "Star Creation Flower", a glimmer of hope ignited in Zhang Cheng's heart. He asked eagerly: "Please give me some advice, senior. How can I get the Star Creation Flower?"

The Dragon Star Sage did not answer directly. Instead, he slowly walked to the window, looked up at the vast starry sky, and said quietly: "The Star Creation Flower is a miracle at the beginning of the universe. It has the power to bring the dead back to life, but it also comes with huge risks. If you want to get it, you must pay the corresponding price."

He turned around and stared at Zhang Cheng with a sharp gaze, "Have you thought it through? Are you really willing to risk your life for a promise?"

Zhang Cheng knelt on one knee without hesitation, his eyes determined: "I am willing! As long as I can save Clinda, I am willing to pay any price!"

"Very good." The Dragon Star Sage nodded slightly, "But if you want my help, you must pass my test first." He paused, a gleam in his eyes, "Find the Heart of the Dragon Star to prove your courage and determination."

As soon as the Dragon Star Sage finished speaking, Zhang Cheng felt a flash before his eyes, and the surrounding scene suddenly changed... The surrounding scene gradually became clear, and Zhang Cheng found himself in an unfamiliar forest. The towering trees blocked out the sun, and the air was filled with the smell of damp soil and unknown flowers. He looked around, but could not see the figure of the Dragon Star Sage.

"Senior?" Zhang Cheng called out tentatively, but the only response he got was an empty echo.

He knew that the test had begun.

Zhang Cheng took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He knew that panic and anxiety would not help, and only by keeping a calm mind could he face the next challenge. He clenched the Star Energy Blade in his hand. This weapon that had accompanied him all the way gave him invisible courage at this moment.

There were roars of strange beasts coming from the depths of the forest. Zhang Cheng was alert and walked forward cautiously. He knew that Dragon Star, as an ancient and mysterious planet in the universe, must have bred countless powerful creatures and unknown dangers.

Suddenly, a giant monitor lizard jumped out of the bushes and pounced towards Zhang Cheng with its bloody mouth wide open. It was covered with hard scales, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression. Zhang Cheng nimbly dodged the attack, and the Star Energy Blade swung out a dazzling arc of light, accurately hitting the monitor lizard's abdomen.

The monitor lizard howled in pain, and puffs of green smoke came out of the wound. However, this only angered it, and the monitor lizard attacked more frantically, sweeping its huge tail across and knocking down the surrounding trees.

Zhang Cheng did not dare to be careless. He flexibly moved outside the attack range of the giant lizard, looking for its weaknesses. He knew that brute force could not defeat such a behemoth, and he had to rely on wisdom and skills.

After a fierce battle, Zhang Cheng finally found an opportunity. He took advantage of the gap between the giant lizard's attacks and flashed behind it like lightning. The star energy blade turned into a stream of light and pierced the giant lizard's head.

"Roar!"

The monitor lizard let out a final unwilling roar, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Zhang Cheng didn't dare to let his guard down. He looked around vigilantly. He knew that this was just the beginning of the test.

"You did a good job." A familiar voice came from behind him. Zhang Cheng turned around and saw that it was the Dragon Star Sage.

"Senior," Zhang Cheng bowed respectfully, "May I ask what to do next..."

The Dragon Star Sage did not answer. He just smiled and pointed to an area filled with strange energy in front of him. He said slowly: "The real test begins now."
