71: Meteorite

Qin Jin's voice echoed within the Different Space.

The next moment.

In Qin Jin's heart, that extraordinary voice resonated once more.

"Starfire Federation… what is that?"

Qin Jin's emotions gradually calmed down.

When Chu Tianyi first explained the Heavenly Selection, he had told him.

A newborn Star God is extremely pure, ignorant and naive.

This was also the basis for the Chosen Plan's existence.

How could ordinary people easily come into contact with a God?

Only by using this opportunity.

But similarly, a God's speed in understanding the world far exceeds imagination. A Chosen One merely uses the initial opportunity to try and communicate with the Star God, establish a relationship with the Star God, and ensure that while it is naive, it will not affect the growth of the planet.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qin Jin's expression became serious as he answered earnestly.

"The Starfire Federation is a human civilization that controls many surrounding star systems. I am a member of the Starfire Federation. The Mining Star where Your Excellency the Star God is located was incorporated into the Federation's territory many years ago…"

Within this mysterious Different Space.

Qin Jin and this Star God engaged in the most primitive and pure communication.

One asked, one answered.

The newborn Star God maintained curiosity about everything.

During the communication process.

Qin Jin could clearly feel that after each question was answered, the Star God's mind seemed to mature a bit. In the short exchange, it rapidly grew from a naive and pure child, beginning to transform into a wise being that perceived all things, gradually assuming the demeanor of a God.

...

Frontline Base.

Above the sky, the thundercloud vortex contracted from all directions, and after returning to the restricted area, it continued to shrink.

The sky cleared again.

After another period of darkness, the Mining Star now felt reborn, truly different from before.

By this time, the Star God had been successfully nurtured, and the Chosen Plan was nearing its end.

Inside the Base, some factions were already preparing to activate their starships and leave.

To obtain a [ticket], participate in the Heavenly Selection, and join this competition, one must respect the rules, otherwise… it will only invite the Starfire Federation's swiftest suppression.

However, in every temporary camp, there were Federation personnel stationed, who refused their requests to leave.

Time passed.

As the vortex receded, at this moment, within the seemingly calm Frontline Base, a thunderous explosion suddenly resounded!

Boom!

The moment the explosion sounded, it was instantly isolated, as if it were just a hallucination.

But those present at this time were different forces from across the star sea, with powerful individuals gathered.

The entire Base instantly became chaotic. Figures ascended into the sky to investigate, and some extended their mental power to probe the situation.

The source of everything was discovered.

The starting point of the explosion was a temporary camp in the eastern part of the Frontline Base. At this very moment, outside this spacious camp, which originally housed starships, a deep blue energy barrier enveloped it. The barrier's surface fluctuated violently, with smoke and dust pervading inside, and a destructive mushroom cloud erupting within, making it completely impossible to see clearly.

The recent explosion was successfully intercepted by this pre-arranged energy barrier, which is why the sound abruptly ceased.

But precisely because this energy barrier intercepted all the unleashed power, this temporary camp suffered an unimaginably terrifying blow!

"That's the Twilight Society's camp."

"What are they trying to do?!"

"The Corona Sect's people should have already been ambushed. These people aren't trying to default on their debt, are they?"

Inside the Base, discussions erupted.

The ripples of the energy barrier intensified.

Amidst the fluctuations, as the internal smoke and dust churned, shadowy figures, formless and inky black, lunged at the energy barrier.

As they lunged, the energy barrier trembled more violently, and its color faded.

Just a few seconds later.

Beneath the energy barrier, a giant hand rose up, supporting the sky. The energy barrier could no longer withstand it and shattered with a roar!

Smoke and dust spread in all directions.

A horrifying scene appeared within this temporary camp.

At the very center, what rose up to support the sky was an inky black giant, nearly a thousand meters tall, faceless, its entire body seemingly made of black oily sludge. Its abdomen was extremely wide, and most horrifyingly, above its abdomen were countless eyes, covering its upper body, constantly blinking, looking utterly disgusting.

Besides that.

Those shadowy monsters were small in stature, and the moment the energy barrier shattered, they rushed out.

In the original temporary camp, a deep hole appeared in the ground during the great explosion, as if a gateway to hell had been blasted open. Shadowy monsters surged out of it like a tide, and beneath the deep hole, there were other giant-like monsters, also surging out.

The camps closer to this location, now unavoidable, engaged the Federation soldiers stationed there at the first moment.

At the same time…

At this moment, the leaders of all the forces present almost simultaneously received an urgent message issued by the Federation.

The message content was concise.

JK4176 has entered A-level crisis status.

All forces and all personnel within the Frontline Base are required to accept mandatory conscription to resolve the crisis together.

A-level crisis status.

Within the Starfire Federation, S-level crisis status is the highest level. Such a level of crisis concerns the life and death of the Starfire Federation, and to this day, it has not appeared for thousands of years.

Only when the Starfire Federation first ventured into the star sea did S-level crises appear multiple times.

And an A-level crisis means that if this crisis cannot be successfully resolved, it will cause a severe impact on the Starfire Federation, with unimaginable consequences!

Above and below, many people had already moved before the message was issued, and now they acted without hesitation.

In mid-air.

Chu Tianyi walked through the air, rushing to the battlefield.

His gaze looked far into the abyss-like pit, his eyes deep.

"Twilight Society…"

"Meteorite Core…"

"Using such a valuable treasure as a reward for ambushing the Corona Squad seems to have just been a prelude."

"This is clearly an artificially guided meteorite disaster, using the characteristics of the Meteorite Core."

The wind howled, and as he rushed forward, his spatial expansion equipment activated at his front. Light flashed, and the Heart Abyss Echo mech appeared.

He took a step, entering the mech. The Heart Abyss Echo glowed all over, runes lit up, and energy spewed from its back, increasing its speed as it rushed to the battlefield.

Before he even got close.

Around the mech, runes lit up, and extraordinary power was unleashed!

The shadowy monsters climbing out of the abyss disintegrated silently, clearing a large area.

But then…

It was filled again with newly appearing monsters.

...

Frontline Base, Federation Headquarters.

Highest level.

The data stream before Tang Qian's eyes became even more rapid. He slightly opened his mouth, no sound was heard, but it seemed as if he was communicating with others.

His eyes reflected the abyss-like scene in the eastern part of the Base.

"It seems the intelligence department's collected information was correct."

"Gods are difficult to monitor, but humans cannot easily escape detection."

"Twilight Society."

"Star-Gazing Eye—Nyssera."

"This righteous God, recognized by the Federation, has lost its initial benevolence and developed a rebellious heart, and has found a suitable time to act, preparing for a harvest before rebelling."

"However, if this is all your preparation, it is far from enough."

Thoughts rapidly flashed through his mind. The data stream constantly flashing in his glasses was projected around him at this moment. He seemed to be in a sea of data, gently pushing up his glasses, issuing commands, and exchanging messages, becoming a sort of transfer station.

At the same time…

In the restricted area, the continuously contracting thundercloud vortex, after returning to its original birthing place, silently and completely dispersed.

All the anomalies caused by the Star God's birth disappeared at this moment, and the Star God's power that had spread outwards completely retracted.
