Gao Xuan smirked at the black smoke, waved his long sleeve, and the words formed by the black smoke were completely swept away.

The Black Banner King certainly wasn't dead. This Divine had operated on the Black Banner Star for two thousand years; if he died so easily, Gao Xuan would be disappointed.

This guy's Divine Soul must be hiding within the Greed Furnace!

Gao Xuan knew this, but he didn't dare to easily delve into the Greed Furnace.

This enormous furnace occupied the position of the Earth Core, operating using the planet's core energy.

The enormous furnace was a circular object with a diameter of a hundred thousand meters, with an energy-transmuted surface. Its internal energy structure was complex, almost completely fused with the Black Banner Star.

The most direct way to break the Greed Furnace would be to destroy the Black Banner Star.

This planet, with a diameter close to seventy thousand kilometers, was a very massive star.

Even a carrier-class battleship would find it difficult to quickly destroy such a gigantic planet.

With Gao Xuan's current Power, even a full-force blow would not be enough to damage the structure of the Black Banner Star, let alone swiftly destroy the star.

Even with the use of the Antimatter Annihilation Cannon, it may not be possible to shatter the planet.

What's more, there are billions of humans on the planet. Although they're pirates, among them are the elderly, women, and children. It's a vast human society.

Gao Xuan detested the Black Banner Alliance, hated everything here, but would not easily resort to such decisive means.

The key was still to resolve the Black Banner King. The huge population of the Black Banner Alliance was also a manpower resource. Then invest Power to see how to reform these pirates...

Maybe it could be handed over to his father-in-law, or let Helen be queen here, which would also be nice.

While Gao Xuan was thinking, he suddenly sensed something was wrong.

The Greed Furnace deep in the Earth Core suddenly erupted, and the violent energy, following the dotted line connected to the furnace, directly reached everyone.

Because the Greed Domain enveloped the Black Banner Star Realm, everyone, whether actively or passively, had established a connection with the Greed Furnace.

The surging energy within the Greed Furnace was also precisely transmitted to every Black Banner person. Regardless of gender or age. Within Gao Xuan's Perception range, everyone was affected.

The energy transmitted by the Greed Furnace was the greedy desires of countless people sedimented over two thousand years.

For ordinary people, this trace of greedy desire was like the most terrifying poison and stimulant, a hundredfold or thousandfold stimulating the greedy desires deep within people's hearts.

Even a newborn, who knows nothing, has the most basic survival desire. Corrupted by this terrifying Spiritual Energy, ordinary humans absolutely could not bear it.

The fiercely intense Fire of Desire was ignited. The human brain couldn't withstand this high-energy reaction, and all consciousness turned into energy for the Flame of Desire.

Within the range of Gao Xuan's Spiritual Power, he saw countless people's eyes turn red, and then the Fire of Desire blazed, and their brains were burned to death immediately.

The villains murdering, the robust men repairing machines, the sly traders selling drugs, the prostitutes flaunting charm, the young learning various pirate skills at school...

99.9999% of the humans in the Black Banner Star Realm experienced brain death within ten seconds.

The remaining humans were cultivators above Level 10. However, even their strong Spiritual Power couldn't resist the Fire of Greed.

Their brains were completely controlled by greedy desire, those greedy for wealth madly hoarded possessions, those lustful madly sought women, men, or robots...

Though they didn't die immediately, their consciousness was utterly burned away by the Fire of Greed, only capable of madly wreaking havoc.

All of their energy would be converted into the Fire of Greed and transmitted again to the Greed Furnace.

Even a Silver Level cultivator couldn't withstand the Fire of Greed for more than five minutes.

Gao Xuan could observe this, but he was powerless to stop it.

This was a trap set by the Black Banner King over two thousand years; he had rushed over, how could he break it?

In just a few minutes, a hundred billion humans were all dead.

In the vast Black Banner Star Realm, all Administrative Stars were silent, without any living people. Only some automated mechanisms were operating, and various cats, dogs, and pets were strolling through the silent cities.

All the dead lay quietly where they were, most places remained as they were. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.

The noisy speakers still clamored, the psychedelic neon lights still flashed. But without human presence, everything was so cold, so despairing.

Gao Xuan felt somewhat lamentable, but not saddened. Since the Black Banner King set up the Greed Furnace here, the outcome was already destined.

He was here to slay gods and eradicate evil, not to be melancholic. At this moment, melancholy held no meaning.

In essence, Gao Xuan was rational like a Light Computer, only calculating pros and cons, weighing gains and losses at crucial moments, not swayed by personal emotions.

Because he had seen greater destruction, more extensive devastation.

The scene before him seemed familiar, further reminding Gao Xuan of his former weakness and incompetence.

Unlike his past life, at least he could seek justice for the dead.

However, after killing everyone, the Black Banner King exchanged for instant Power surge, it's uncertain what he intends to do.

It's certain that the Divine Soul Power of the Black Banner King did not significantly increase. As a Divine, his Divine Soul Power was already strong enough.

No matter how much energy the Greed Furnace provided, it would be hard for him to continue to enhance.

Like giving a seventy-year-old elder more food, they won't grow again.

Suddenly, a Dragon Roar echoed, and the Dragon Scale Saber on the Pirate King's Hall turned into a ball of red light heading straight for the Earth Core.

This was a weapon left by the Red Dragon King, Gao Xuan, eager to kill the Black Banner King, didn't pay attention at the time.
