104: Chapter 104 Trap

The disappearance of the Solar System out of thin air caused an uproar once again within the Silver Core Alliance, which was composed of over a hundred advanced civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Everyone was discussing it with immense surprise.

"What kind of background does the Xingyang Civilization have? They come and go as they please. Do they think our Milky Way Galaxy is their backyard?"

"The key is, what is this technology? Our current technology can only hide and fine-tune stellar systems."

"The Zhaode super-civilization can do it. Zhaode, didn't you conduct a stellar system migration a long time ago?"

The Zhaode civilization pondered for a moment before replying: "Well, the technology isn't difficult. But I am very curious about their energy source; they entered and exited the Milky Way Galaxy in such a short time. When we moved within the Milky Way Galaxy, it consumed all our energy."

Just as the various civilizations in the Alliance were confused, they received the latest news.

The Sagittarius triple-star system closest to the Solar System suddenly lost two stars!

The planets in the system were all still there, but it had now become a stable single-star system.

Someone shouted: "It's highly likely they were burned as fuel by the Solar System. We used to bet on when the Trisolarans would be swallowed by their stars, but now it seems they won't die thanks to the Xingyang Civilization."

"What are you talking about? The Trisolarans have already joined the Xingyang Civilization and are a part of the Solar System now."

"This civilization is a bit terrifying. They appear and disappear mysteriously and are expanding. I wonder if they will make us join as their lackeys in the future."

After a moment of silence, someone said in a strange tone: "They probably look down on small civilizations like us. If they were to look for anyone, it would be a super-civilization like Zhaode."

Soon came Zhaode's cold response: "We will not be anyone's lackeys, and we will not join any civilization! We also possess the technology to convert stars directly into energy!"

At this moment, Chu Xingyang, who had already joined the Alliance, was traveling through a wormhole and naturally did not know about these conversations, though he wouldn't have cared anyway.

After some time, the Solar System finally exited the portal and returned to its original position in the Three-Spiral Galaxy System.

The surrounding stellar systems belonging to the Xingyang Civilization, such as Southern Neighbor Two and Beicang, Shanglin, had been eagerly waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing the appearance of the civilization's main star, the people in these stellar systems immediately erupted into cheers that sounded like a roaring tsunami.

And the people on the Blue and White stars, having returned to their homeland, were naturally overjoyed.

Although the land was still the same land and the sun was still the same sun, when looking up at the starry sky at night, one could immediately find that familiar feeling from before.

In a dormitory at a dinosaur park on the Blue Star, the Giantess Ba Shayu, who was lying flat, watched Chen Susu, who was standing on her belly in a daze.

She asked suspiciously: "Are you thinking about the Milky Way Galaxy? Are you homesick?"

Chen Susu immediately lay down, her face flushed with shyness: "No, I'm not. Wherever you are, that is home."

"Then what are you spacing out for?"

"I'm thinking about the people on the Wandering Earth. I'm the only Earthling here on the Blue Star, living happily, while they are still drifting in the universe."

Ba Shayu reached out a large hand and cupped Chen Susu's entire backside, gently rubbing it while speaking softly.

"Don't worry, the merciful Xingyang God will bless every believer. As long as they can convert, he will definitely give them a place to settle down on the Blue Star."

"I hope so. We Earthlings can be quite stubborn sometimes."

In the joyful atmosphere of the divine might, the vice captain Yu Lan felt that the deity beside her seemed somewhat different from usual.

Just as she was hesitating whether to speak up, she was pulled away by the crew to join the celebration.

Tu Kulei walked over a few steps: "Bishop, are you feeling unwell?"

Chu Xingyang looked confused: "No, why are you asking that suddenly?"

"I'm not a doctor, so I don't know how to describe it, but I feel like you've become faded, Bishop."

"You bastard, was I salty before?"

Facing the reprimand from his superior, Tu Kulei remained calm and composed: "I already said I'm not a doctor. I suggest you go to the infirmary and find Wei Wei."

"Our bodies as clergy members do not belong to ourselves, but to the Xingyang God; they exist to spread the divine light and serve the deity."

Chu Xingyang looked bewildered; he didn't feel uncomfortable anywhere.

However, looking at the strange gazes of the others, he understood that something must be wrong.

He looked at his reflection in the glass wall and immediately jumped up from his chair.

It really… had faded.

A grayish feeling; one could only say that Little Lielie's description was quite apt.

Chu Xingyang looked through the spaceship's porthole at his own true form in the sky.

In an instant, he understood everything.

It seems the Light Walkers had made their move long ago, playing a game of waiting for the rabbit here.

At this moment, people in the Solar System who were in the daytime also discovered something wrong.

Why was the sun not blinding at all right now? One could easily look directly at it.

The huge sun was shrouded in a cloud of white mist.

And as time passed, this mist became thicker and thicker, and the sun's light became dimmer and dimmer.

People in the noon time zone felt as if it had suddenly become dusk.

Those in the early morning and evening felt as if they had arrived in the middle of the night.

The sensor lights on both sides of the road all turned on inopportunely.

Chu Xingyang gave an order: "All fleets, deploy! Engage the enemy!"

After saying this, he ordered Xiliu, Yu Lan, and Wei Wei to come to his bishop's quarters together.

The three flagships, divine might, divine ascension, and divine grace, leading thirty warships, indeed saw the invading Light Walkers within the Oort Cloud.

Hundreds of massive warships, a thousand meters tall, were entirely enveloped in blinding light.

Even with the Blue Star fleet firing ten thousand cannons simultaneously, they couldn't shake them in the slightest.

Gu Shuiqing angrily struck his seat with his hand: "Damn it, they really are energy beings. They've developed energy shields to such a masterful level."

In the bishop's quarters, Yu Lan immediately ordered eight hundred Special Forces Soldiers wearing symbiotic armor to fly out of the warships and strike the Light Walkers.

But even with eight hundred intense laser beams firing at the same spot on a light warship, it had no effect whatsoever.

At this moment, the invading Light Walkers spoke up: "People of the Xingyang Civilization, give up the struggle! You cannot be opponents of our central civilization; we have ruled the center of the Three-Spiral System for hundreds of millions of years."

"We long ago investigated and found that your so-called divine power mainly comes from the energy of stars. Before you returned, we had already ambushed this place with a large amount of thin nebula."

"At this moment, the nebula has gathered into a dyson shell, completely enveloping your star. The vast majority of the star's energy is locked inside. You are finished!"

Xiliu looked at the deity, who had almost faded into a holographic image, and tilted her head curiously: "Xingyang God, is this true? Is most of your power locked away?"

Wei Wei showed a worried expression.

Yu Lan, however, chuckled: "What are you thinking? Would the great deity be trapped by a trap set by mere mortals?"

Chu Xingyang laughed heartily: "I just wanted to let you three see how faded I actually am right now. I'm going to go wipe them out now."
