Chapter 602 Nine Dragons Open the Way, Descending Upon Huo Xi (Large Chapter with Ten Thousand Words)

Beyond the sea of stars, in the star region simply known as Ross, a dim red dwarf star hangs suspended in the dark cosmos, with a solitary planet revolving around its orbit.

The planet, named 'Huo Xi' (Fire Sunset) by the local civilization, is currently in the dawn. In its capital, the first faint rays of morning sunlight slant from the horizon, bathing the sky and city in a layer of light red radiance, clinging to the ancient and solemn buildings brimming with history.

Huo Xi has a mass 1.5 times that of Earth and possesses a rather peculiar-looking satellite. Although its orbit is extremely close to the star Ross, the surface radiation is surprisingly good due to Ross being a red dwarf. It provides sufficient energy for life to thrive without being so intense as to blow away the planet's atmosphere.

In fact, Huo Xi is home to a rather advanced civilization, already venturing into space, that is flourishing.

Huo Xi gets its name from a special celestial phenomenon. Looking at the midday sun on this planet, one can see a scarlet glow like fire, but it is not bright; rather, it is somewhat dim, like the light of the setting sun.

However, one thing is very strange: no one knows why their ancestors thought that the sun was brightest when it was like the ‘setting sun’. The sunset on Huo Xi is clearly dimmer, with almost no light source.

Did they have other evaluation criteria? If so, where did they come from?

At least, no one in the current Huo Xi civilization knows the answer to this question.

The Huo Xi civilization has a history of over four thousand years and has now entered the interstellar age. However, their history has been greatly lost, and hundreds of years ago, they experienced a large-scale devastating war that spanned the entire planet. Dozens of countries attacked all their enemies with the aim of destroying the nation and exterminating the race.

That war had no victors and laid the foundation for the entire planet's ideology—the surviving participants abhorred war. To ensure peace, they even formed alliances and developed a ‘peace bureaucracy’.

A vast bureaucratic system handles all internal affairs of the planet, governed by several or one peace leader who oversees the entire civilization.

Their legitimacy stems from protecting the legitimate rights and safety of all citizens and curbing all wars and violent conflicts.

This is a remarkably stable ruling system. Since the global unification of the Huo Xi civilization, there have been no riots or wars. Because there are no other planets in the Ross star region, the Huo Xi civilization can only focus on developing technology. Apart from further strengthening related aerospace technology, there is nothing else to do.

Fortunately, decades ago, the Huo Xi civilization accidentally found some spaceship relics related to warp engines in some ancient ruins from thousands of years ago. After a long period of deciphering, they successfully put the technology from these relics into practical use.

In recent decades, the Huo Xi civilization has had no internal strife or disputes, and its technological level has continued to improve steadily. Compared to ordinary interstellar civilizations, their internal cohesion and technological level are even higher.

If everything goes smoothly, they will soon begin to use their spaceships and warp technology to explore the surrounding star and habitable worlds.

However, an accident occurred.

Just as the Huo Xi civilization was progressing smoothly, an unexpected message shocked all the high-level officials of the civilization.

Their mother star... was about to explode.

In simpler terms, their sun was going to explode.

The first omen appeared fifteen years ago—coincidentally, fifteen years ago was the very day the warp engine experiment was successful. The Huo Xi civilization's observatory built around the sun sent out an urgent emergency report and was destroyed by a sudden solar flare. According to eyewitness accounts at the time, even on the back side of Huo Xi, the bright glow produced by the stellar explosion could be seen.

The flare was brief, but the damage was astonishing. All of Huo Xi civilization's satellites outside the atmosphere, lunar observatories, and stellar observatories were destroyed.

On the planet, more than forty million people died on the spot due to the celestial changes caused by the solar flare. Five times that number were exposed to excessive cosmic radiation, developing various radiation sicknesses, and subsequently dying one after another in the years that followed.

Half of the people on Huo Xi experienced that terrifying stellar change and the tragedy of watching their relatives and friends die painfully from radiation... The only fortunate thing was that after that solar flare, many ‘psionicists’ gradually appeared throughout the Huo Xi civilization.

They could manipulate various special superpowers and master various special abilities—some could even transform into various powerful wild beasts and spirit beasts, becoming a special kind of psionic creature never seen before.

However, this news did not make the Huo Xi civilization feel much uplifted, because since then, the number of solar flares has increased, gradually becoming something the Huo Xi civilization began to get used to. They began to wear radiation suits and build underground cities to minimize the impact of related celestial activities as much as possible.

In order to find out the cause of the sudden solar flare fifteen years ago, and to understand where the future of their civilization lay, they devoted all their efforts to building interstellar bases and various spaceships and exploration ships to investigate the cause of all this.

And today.

The leader of this civilization, the current leader of the Huo Xi Alliance, learned a fact that made him silent.

The source of everything... came from a ‘giant egg’ located inside the star.

Fifteen years ago, the giant egg initially revived. The creature inside, because of the end of the Silent Era, sensed the impending psionic revival and began to prepare in advance, entering the prelude to awakening.

Its actions disrupted the balance of the Ross star, thus causing a flare that swept across half the star region, severely damaging the Huo Xi civilization.

And fifteen years later, the giant egg's activities became more and more frequent.

Even recently, the psionic diviners in the Observatory issued a warning—they claimed that the giant egg was about to hatch, and the giant beast that devours stars would awaken, destroy all things, and reduce everything to nothingness.

Unlike the past, when everyone thought these diviners were unreliable and just talking nonsense.

This time, everyone thought they were right.

The Huo Xi civilization was indeed about to end.

"So that's how it is... Inside our star, there is such a terrifying beast offspring, such a star beast egg exists..."

In the leader's office of the Huo Xi Alliance's underground capital.

The nominal supreme ruler of the Huo Xi Alliance, Xiang De, after listening to the explanation from his secretary, couldn't help but sigh and say dejectedly, "Absorbing the energy of the star to nurture itself, this is too outrageous. Our technology can't even imagine how it does it."

"Not only that, leader, the most terrifying thing is that the beast in this egg is about to hatch."

Although equally frustrated and confused, Xiang De's secretary had a sense of throwing caution to the wind. He bluntly said, "According to the current trend, in a few years at most, or half a year at the soonest, the stellar balance of our star will be completely destroyed by this egg, collapsing into a cloud of stardust."

"At that time, the entire Huo Xi star will be swallowed by the overflowing stellar matter, burned into cosmic dust."

Xiang De did not reply.

He sat in his seat, closed his eyes, and pondered in silence.

"I thought it was a natural disaster, but it turned out to be a 'man-made disaster'... Ha, although it is not a natural disaster, it is worse than one."

"In the universe, there are such powerful lives? But I don't know why, I'm not surprised."

Although the star beast egg thing was somewhat beyond Xiang De's expectations, everyone understood that Huo Xi was no longer suitable for living. This did not affect the civilization's decision-making.

Originally, the Huo Xi Alliance's response was to 'run'.

By building several giant ecological arks with warp capabilities, select all the excellent individuals and talents who can ensure the survival of the civilization, leave Huo Xi, and go to the distant end of the starry sky, leaving behind the seeds of the Huo Xi civilization.

Yes, the arks can only take away the elite among all Huo Xi people. The eight giant civilization arks can carry at most less than ten million people, which is nearly one-seventh of the total population of 6.5 billion in the entire Huo Xi civilization.

It is necessary to choose some people to live and some people to sacrifice. It is precisely because of this that Xiang De has felt a lot of pressure recently. If it were not for his sense of responsibility that made him persevere, he would have collapsed long ago.

As a matter of course, the masses of the Huo Xi civilization who knew this message and were not selected would naturally not be willing to be the batch of people who were abandoned and sacrificed. Therefore, recently, riots and disturbances have been taking place throughout the entire Huo Xi civilization, and even the government has begun to waver, making it difficult to continue the escape ark plan.

"What exactly should we do?"

Thinking about the future, but with only a mess in his heart, Xiang De couldn't help but open his eyes. He raised his head, looked at the star that was quietly emitting a scarlet light on the office screen, and then let out a wry smile: "Where does the road to the future lead?"

No one answered this question.

Instead, one emergency announcement after another came, announcing many bad news.

【——Stellar Observatory Report: Stellar anomalies have reappeared, and the next large-scale flare impact is coming!】

【——Observatory Report: Abnormal changes have occurred in the stellar giant egg inside the star. Its activation speed is accelerating rapidly, and cracks have appeared on the eggshell. The original estimated gestation time of at least half a year has been greatly reduced. It is expected to hatch preliminarily within fifteen days!】

【——Huo Xi Central Star Region Observatory Report: According to the detection of the star region's subspace sensors, in the cosmic space not far from our star region, there are warp fluctuations with extraordinary energy levels. With our existing technology, we cannot completely detect their source or know what is warping, but their target is clear: they are coming towards us!】

"What?!"

The first two messages were indeed adding fuel to the fire. For a moment, Xiang De was even shocked to stand up, and then remained speechless for a long time.

Although solar flares are terrifying, they are just commonplace for the Huo Xi civilization that has long been accustomed to them—but the sudden acceleration of the star giant egg's awakening greatly disrupted the entire Huo Xi civilization's plans.

Now, the entry personnel for the eight civilization arks have not been completely selected, and many details have not been repeatedly verified. It is almost impossible to gather enough personnel to set off within ten days. Even if they set off, they cannot guarantee whether it is safe or whether the arks can guarantee sailing to their destination.

Desperate news.

For a time, the entire office was silent. Even though Xiang De soon received one emergency communication after another from high-level officials within the Alliance, asking him what to do next, he didn't know how to answer.

"Heaven is abandoning us..." With a wry smile, Xiang De shifted his gaze to the third report: "Warp fluctuations coming towards us? Could it be other cosmic civilizations in theory? What are they doing here? Can't they see that this place is already a dead zone?"

But soon, this Alliance leader seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but gasp: "No, could it be..."

"Could it be that the parents of this star giant egg sensed that their offspring is about to hatch, so they rushed over to check on the hatching situation?!"

"If that's the case... then even if we let the arks set off now, I'm afraid it will be too late!"

Such a possibility made the prospects of the Huo Xi civilization even more bleak, and even hopeless.

And the subsequent related reports proved Xiang De's guess.

【——Observatory Report: The target's warp speed is extremely fast. The precision of the central subspace sensor is insufficient and cannot determine the target's specific mass!】

【——Observatory Report: As the warping target approaches, we observe that the star giant egg's reaction is becoming more and more active. The relationship between the two is proportional!】

【——Observatory Report: Extremely obvious subspace distortion has been observed! Warning, the warping target will arrive inside the star region within five hours. We are very likely doomed. Everyone, goodbye in the afterlife.】

In the end, even the reports from the Central Star Region Observatory could not maintain the official format. Even the researchers, or rather, precisely because they were researchers, they knew the facts and were more desperate than ordinary people.

Soon, because of this despair, these reports, which should have been top secret, were leaked out, broadcast by various hosts who had almost lost order but were trying to remain calm on the network, news, and even radio stations and television stations.

Some of the hosts even broke down halfway through their reports, crying and saying goodbye to all the viewers, but no one cared about this anymore. Because in these last few hours of the possible existence of the entire Huo Xi civilization, all the Huo Xi people fell into an unbelievable calmness and confusion.

"Hey, Xiao Deng, it's the last few hours, go back and see your parents."

In the office, Xiang De also gave up struggling—when things came to an end, he calmed down instead, shaking his head and saying to his secretary, "Let me be quiet alone in the end."

"...The time I worked for you was a very important experience in my life."

After hesitating for a while, the secretary, called Xiao Deng, also bowed deeply to Xiang De, and then opened the office door, preparing to go home to accompany his parents.

At this moment, in the Central Observatory, the last, almost routine reports were also issued one after another, and the target they were issuing to was no longer just the Federal Leader's Office, but a public rebroadcast on all channels of the entire civilization.

Thus, the entire Huo Xi star, all cities, places with network signals, could all hear the clear, extremely grand, and undulating and subspace echoes, which were restored from the subspace psionic signals.

That was a long and majestic roar that shook the stars, like a dragon's cry, and the unmistakable spatial transmission hum.

"Sure enough... it's the parents of that star giant egg."

Closing his eyes and listening to the dragon's roar that made his soul tremble slightly, Xiang De smiled in relief: "Well, well, the Huo Xi civilization will ultimately end with the star destruction caused by the star beasts, which can be considered a romantic ending."

Just when the Huo Xi civilization wanted to give up all hope and wait for its ending to arrive.

The Earth fleet, with a completely different identity and purpose from what they imagined, was heading towards its target at the fastest speed.

No... in fact, Xiang De's guess was not wrong.

Because the cosmic giant Su Zhou, who came uninvited from Earth, was going to be the father of the Star Devourer Kroaht.

And that dragon's cry... wasn't even Su Zhou's own cry.

In the void star region, in the warp channel.

After departing from Earth, the Earth fleet, led by Su Zhou, warped at the fastest speed and frequency, heading to the nearby Ross Star Region.

Theoretically speaking, hyperspace travel is the fastest method of traveling in the universe, but this method requires naturally formed hyperspace channels, or artificially created hyperspace networks as a foundation. Most of these channels are randomly generated. Although they are fast, it may take a detour to reach the destination.

Warping, on the other hand, has the disadvantage of requiring frequent stops and waiting, making it easy for people to seize opportunities and ambush during warping, but it is very free.

Coincidentally, there are no hyperspace channels in the Ross Star Region, so the Earth fleet led by Su Zhou can only stop and go in the cosmic space, and also because the Earth's warp engines are not very mature, it emits extremely large subspace echoes.

This is certainly not a good thing. Just like the quieter the submarine is, the better, the subspace vibration of a cosmic warship should also be as small as possible, so as to achieve the purpose of silent navigation.

But this is not a problem that can be solved in a short time.

For this trip, in order to allow Su Zhou to better fight against the Star Devourer of the Void Cult, the State Protector Liu Li personally handed over his State Protector divine weapon 'Falling Sun Divine Bow', a Heavenly Emperor-level Emperor weapon, to Su Zhou, for him to carry and eliminate the Dao enemy who had destroyed the Central Divine Court's inheritance.

Although Su Zhou had not used a bow and arrow for a long time, he still remembered the related bow and arrow skills... and just like Su Zhou's Dao weapon, the Blade of Annihilation, carried all of his inheritance, the Falling Sun Bow also had related inheritance.

[Falling Sun Pierces the Sky, Calamity of Heaven and Earth], Su Zhou had also seen this inheritance in the top-level inheritance in the Transmission Dao Tower.

However, the inheritance in the Transmission Dao Tower is called 'Falling Sun Pierces the Sky, Righteous Method of Heaven and Earth'.

After all, the killing intent and destruction intent in the divine bow's inheritance are stronger, and 'Calamity Method' is more appropriate than 'Righteous Method'.

"This cultivation method is essentially about condensing power, compressing spiritual energy, and then attaching it to the bow and arrow. After hitting the target, it explodes, producing an effect similar to a supernova explosion, which is similar to the 'Heavenly Star Unification Dao Integration Method' of the Myriad Spirit Divine Bird, Divine Emperor Tai Hao in the Perfect World."

"However, the Falling Sun Pierces the Sky, Calamity of Heaven and Earth, has a special effect on 'stars'. If this inheritance's attack targets ordinary creatures, it is nothing more than a nuclear explosion sword with greater destructive power, at most with a particularly large yield. But if it hits a star, it can directly induce a chain reaction of stellar mass, induce a supernova explosion, and finally collapse into a black hole, turning into Guixu, annihilating all powerful enemies..."

"As expected of the divine weapon inheritance that annihilated the Golden Crow clan in the past, the power is truly incredible!"

While marveling at the strength of the inheritance, Su Zhou was temporarily learning how to better exert the power of the divine bow during the voyage.

Suddenly, he heard an emergency report from the relevant personnel in the fleet channel.

[Marshal, we have traveled more than six light-years and entered the Empty Zone. In theory, we should continue to travel after resting.]

[But the subspace sensors show that in the star region not far away, there are several high-energy reactions coming towards us in the opposite direction, very fast, but they don't look like fleets, but like super beings like transcendent beings.]

[How should we respond? Marshal, please instruct!]

In the channel, the voices of other Earth warship observers sounded, waiting for Su Zhou's instructions.

Appointed by the United International, Su Zhou, who temporarily became the marshal of the Earth fleet, in a sense, had a similar position to the same position in another possible timeline, and the time was advanced a lot.

However, it is clear that compared to the marshal with real power in another time and space, Su Zhou is only nominally responsible for command. After all, he knows nothing about the fleet, and specific commands are handed over to his deputy. Only important issues like this will be handed over to him to decide.

"What? Other high-energy fluctuations? And they are individuals, not warships?"

"Could it be cultivators? Or cultivators who can move freely in the universe?"

Su Zhou felt quite strange about this news, and he even laughed: "Interesting, they sensed my pressure, and instead of staying away, they are approaching me?"

"If they are enemies, are they not afraid of death... No, now that I think about it, it's not impossible."

Thinking of this, Su Zhou couldn't help but think of the Twilight Kindred, and the strange thinking patterns of those Kindred. He couldn't help but shake his head: "Could it be other Twilight Kindred? The Star Devourer knows we are going to get rid of it, so it urgently summoned reinforcements to stop us?"

It is not impossible. After all, the Twilight Kindred are united from top to bottom, and it is common for one party to be in trouble and all parties to support. If that Star Devourer really asked for help, then all the Twilight Kindred in the surrounding star regions who can take action would probably come.

Su Zhou was not surprised by this at all, and even thought it was good news.

Anyway, he would kill one if one came, and kill a pair if two came. There is no need to show mercy to these Twilight Kindred. He would send a few to the west if he could.

"Wait for them to come and die themselves."

Su Zhou issued a designation, his tone was calm: "I want to see who the other party is. If it is the Twilight Kindred, how much courage does the other party have?"

However, just as a circle of warp halos lit up in the silent and dark cosmic space.

The creatures that emerged from behind the halos made many fleet members, including Su Zhou, stunned for a moment.

"Awoo——"

From the spirit world came a long, high-pitched, melodious but majestic, and oppressive cry.

At this moment, bright orange-yellow halos lit up in the dark cosmic space, like the dawn lighting up from the horizon. The massive spiritual energy turbulence stirred the stars, making the light of many stars like mountain ranges. The owner of that long cry came before the Earth fleet, arousing bursts of exclamation.

"What is that creature?!"

"So big, it looks like a dragon!"

"It's a little smaller than Marshal Su's dragon body, but this dragon seems to be only in its juvenile stage?"

In the Earth fleet channel, there were noisy messages. The Earth side was quite wary of these strangely shaped, but quite ferocious, and seemingly quite powerful cosmic creatures.

[They are Aether Dragons!]

The ambassador of the Seresstia civilization, Tain Prophet, who followed the Earth fleet, was driving his exploration ship. After seeing the several cosmic beasts that were constantly flying out from behind the warp halo, he was stunned in place, and after a long time he exclaimed: [Nine, so many juvenile dragon beasts? Have they also begun to reproduce again?!]

[Incredible, you must know that before the Silent Era, there would not be more than a hundred Aether Dragons in the entire galaxy!]

Without a doubt, just as Tain Prophet said, these giant beasts that came from beyond the starry sky were all dragons.

And they were also dragon beasts wandering in the starry sky, Aether Dragons!

What appeared in the fleet's cameras were cosmic beasts that were more than two thousand meters long, and were unusually huge compared to warships. In terms of appearance, they did look very much like dragons, with long bodies and obvious head, body, and tail structures.

These beasts had six pairs of orange-yellow eyes that emitted light like fusion stars. Their bodies were streamlined and strong. When they swayed in the vacuum, they stirred up large patches of spiritual energy turbulence, causing some smaller cosmic warships to shake.

These Aether Dragons were not Twilight Kindred, and even the opposite. After seeing Su Zhou, they all lit up their eyes and happily shouted and came forward, rapidly swimming towards the divine wood warship in the center of the fleet.

These Aether Dragons all had the strength of Overlord Earth Immortals by human standards.

This is not surprising, because Aether Dragons are indeed overlords in the universe. They are natural transcendent races, and one of them can match the entire fleet of an interstellar civilization. There are no natural enemies.

[Aether Dragons have no natural enemies. They are one of the oldest and most powerful creatures in the universe. Ancient, fully grown Aether Dragons can match Star Devourers and are overlords soaring in the universe.]

As a Seresstia, Tain Prophet knew a lot about this kind of powerful cosmic super life. He stared in amazement at the many extremely excited, rare dragon beasts in front of him who wanted to get close to Su Zhou, and then immediately launched the exploration ship's lens, taking continuous photos and preserving these rare images.

Afterwards, he turned his head and continued to send messages to Su Zhou, explaining: [Aether Dragons have high intelligence. They are estimated to be juvenile bodies that have only hatched from their eggs in the past ten years or so. They need the guidance and teaching of powerful kin.]

[They now probably regard you as a powerful kin, so they simply want to get close to you and receive related teachings... In other words, it is probably because Marshal Su, your bloodline and pressure are very attractive to them. These Aether Dragons regard you as a leader.]

Tain Prophet's tone was full of envy.

Obviously, Su Zhou had really hit the jackpot this time. He happened to encounter a group of Aether Dragon juveniles who had no parents and were wandering in groups. Because of his Yala blood, or Candle Dragon bloodline, these powerful cosmic beasts were attracted.

"Yes, I can tell."

Su Zhou also felt quite miraculous about this.

He was currently surrounded by nine Aether Dragons. Although the juvenile bodies of these super beings were still growing, they were already incredibly huge. Their bodies revolved around the divine wood warship form of Su Zhou, like hula hoops, arousing extremely intense, spiral-like spiritual energy undercurrents around the youth.

"Awoo~"

Seeming to sense the goodwill released by Su Zhou, these Aether Dragons immediately made happy cries—awakening from eggs that had been silent for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and losing the guidance of their parents, these Aether Dragon juveniles wandered in the starry sky, wandering aimlessly.

Their strength was so powerful that even relying on instinct, they could easily survive in the universe... and even live well.

But if they want to become more powerful and become the almost invincible old, fully grown Aether Dragons in this universe, they still need to learn a lot of knowledge.

The appearance of Su Zhou, that rare aura of 'kin', immediately excited all the Aether Dragons around him. They echoed each other, came together, and prepared to follow Su Zhou's lead and learn knowledge from him.

"Sure enough, the offspring of these star beasts have all hatched, and the Star Devourer, a mature star beast like that, is not far from waking up."

"And there are many transcendent structures on these dragons that can be learned and simulated... free material packages."

All are good things.

Extending the divine wood branches, Su Zhou appeased these Aether Dragons who had gathered because of his bloodline, and let these cheering dragon beasts leave the Earth fleet and come in front of him, like horses pulling a carriage.

The youth who had once again reproduced the scene of nine dragons pulling the warship raised his head, looked at the star region five light-years away, couldn't help but ponder, and then laughed: "Good! This is a good omen—our Earth fleet is expeditioning to other stars, but there are cosmic auspicious signs coming to join us, proving that this battle will be a great victory!"

"Set off, don't stop, let's continue to advance!"

For Su Zhou and the Earth fleet, this was just a small episode in the marching process.

After all, as a Heavenly Immortal, his power was in the top ranks in the universe before the Silent Era, and in this Earth universe after the Silent Era, he was simply as dazzling as the sun, attracting the super life around him.

But for the Huo Xi civilization, all this was really too exaggerated.

Ross Star Region, Huo Xi Star, Central Subspace Observatory.

Many Huo Xi people waiting for the final moment to come all raised their heads, either with the naked eye or looking at the screen, and stared blankly at the dazzling halos that appeared in the sky and shone in the cosmic vacuum.

Awoo——————The infinitely long dragon's roar sounded.

The warp halo had been opened. Accompanying the spatio-temporal ripples like water droplets falling, nine Aether Dragons appeared happily from the spatio-temporal fluctuations.

A towering and majestic divine wood warship full of vitality and endless majesty then emerged.

Following closely were more than forty Earth-style warships of various types and full of unique designs!

"What, what is that?!"

In the Huo Xi Alliance office, Xiang De stood up in shock after seeing this scene, and then sat back down. He stared blankly at the screen in his chair, his eyes and mouth slowly widening: "Tamed star beasts... and a civilization fleet?!"

The light of the Ross red dwarf star seemed particularly dim compared to the light of the engine jets of this fleet.

For a time, half of the Huo Xi star was illuminated by the spiritual energy light flow generated by the divine wood warship and the Earth fleet, like daylight.

"Could it be that our sun is the cultivation warehouse for this civilization to tame beasts?!"

At this moment, all the high-level officials of the Huo Xi civilization felt unparalleled shock. Although it was a misunderstanding, after all, the star giant egg in the star was more than 20,000 kilometers in diameter and was already a small planet. In terms of size, the entire Earth fleet combined could not compare to a piece of the giant egg's shell.

But just looking at the figures and momentum of the nine Aether Dragons was enough to make them subconsciously ignore this hard wound.

Moreover, the most important thing was that the divine wood warship that seemed to be dragged forward by the nine Aether Dragons... Although that huge warship exuded an aura that many Huo Xi people were extremely familiar with, but could not tell the source of, was not huge in volume, it gave people the feeling of being as dazzling as a star, lighting up the entire spirit world around Huo Xi.

As for the many Earth warships that appeared one after another in the cosmic vacuum behind this warship, they were quite ordinary and not very conspicuous.

Huo Xi Star, orbital spaceport. The largest spaceport in the Huo Xi civilization.

In order to continuously observe the changes in the mother star and resist frequent solar flare explosions, this spaceport is essentially an extremely strong space fortress. Around it, there are many scattered space stations floating. They jointly form a large cosmic building that can resist ordinary solar storms. Numerous observation fleets and warships that can navigate within the star system are stationed here.

And just below the orbital spaceport is the space elevator of Huo Xi Star. There, eight civilization arks are undergoing final debugging, waiting for the Huo Xi civilization elites selected globally to move in, and then take off.

But now, all the plans have completely failed. The arrival of Su Zhou, the Aether Dragons, and the Earth fleet has completely blocked this star region. No one believes that with the Huo Xi civilization's underdeveloped interstellar technology, they can break through the blockade of such a fleet and successfully escape.

An atmosphere of despair floated throughout the civilization.

In the spaceport, many ships and warships that were originally docked in the port urgently detached. The energy jet ports of these ships lit up, and then adjusted their angles at the fastest speed, turned their backs to the star and the direction where Su Zhou was, and fled rapidly.

Although they were fleeing in a panic, these ships that dared to act were in a sense still courageous—after all, there were still more Huo Xi civilization ships and warships staying in the port, not moving at all, as if they were simply waiting for the end to come.

"It seems that our sudden arrival has scared them... We came too hastily, we should have notified them in advance."

Faced with these panicked, seemingly frightened local civilization warships, Su Zhou did not despise them—nine Aether Dragons pulling the warship, traveling in the vast cosmic vacuum, such an incredible and full of魄力scene, plus his own Heavenly Immortal pressure.

Don't talk about ordinary interstellar civilizations, even the Seresstia civilization, a galactic superpower, would be shocked and take out their trump cards to respect him.

"I really didn't expect that the planetary system where the Star Devourer of the Void Cult is located actually has a intelligent civilization... I thought that where the Twilight Kindred go, no grass grows, and all civilizations except them would be wiped out."

Muttering to himself, Su Zhou felt quite sympathetic to this civilization born in the star system where the Star Devourer was located.

He啧啧了一声, and then drove the warship, spraying jets, and approached a space station of the other party on the planet's orbit.

He stretched out one of his tentacles, gently wrapped the space station, and prepared to put the space station, which had shifted its orbit due to their arrival, back into the correct orbit.

Su Zhou's original plan was to help while scanning the internal structure of the other party's space station, and then judge the technological level of this civilization, and also see what intelligent races this civilization was composed of.

But who knew, this investigation made the youth stunned in place.

"This... what's going on?!"

At this moment, holding up the space station of the Huo Xi civilization, the youth's eyes were condensed on several Huo Xi civilization astronauts in this space station who were enduring fear and panic, and quietly waiting for death to come.

A pair of eyes, a pair of arms, a pair of legs... two eyes and a nose, two ears and a mouth...

"This, aren't they humans?!"

Stunned, Su Zhou said in shock: "How is this alien civilization also human? And looking at this bloodline, it is still a very orthodox Zheng country bloodline, even the divine beast inheritance in the bloodline is there!"

Immediately, the youth lowered his head. He looked down at the entire Huo Xi star in the cosmic space. The warship sensors lit up and scanned the entire planet.

Soon, the architectural structure and design style, which were almost identical to ancient Zheng country, proved that Su Zhou's observation results were correct... The entire Huo Xi star was full of humans, at most, because of thousands of years of different star environments and gravity conditions, there were some differences in details!

"Most importantly... in the bloodlines of these people, how come there is a faint aura of 'Twilight Kindred'?!"

Recommend a friend's book, Rui Xuefengnian's "Extremely Evil Dragon Lord", is an old author, the quality is guaranteed, and the book is very much to my taste, highly recommended!
