109: Chapter 109 Space Ghost Wall

The crew of the Xingyang Civilization's expeditionary force had unexpectedly woken up from their hibernation pods ahead of schedule.

Everyone was puzzled by this sudden situation.

The General Commander of this expedition, the vice captain of the divine might, Yu Lan, who had only just woken up, was quickly flooded with inquiries from the captains of the various warships.

"Isn't it still two months before we enter the territory of the Light Walkers? Could we have been intercepted already?"

"I see calm space outside the porthole; could it be a malfunction in the hibernation pod system?"

Unfortunately, Yu Lan was just as clueless and could only walk quickly toward the command room on the bridge, which was already packed with people.

Xiliu, standing in the center, only began to explain the situation when she arrived: "It was I who woke everyone up."

Luo Ningning, who was in charge of logistics, was the first to express her dissatisfaction: "Waking up two months early means we need two months of additional supplies. With the original 33 warships from Blue Star plus the 8 light-ships, that's a total of 41 ships. Do you know how massive the consumption is for two months?"

Yu Lan hurriedly calmed her down and then looked at Xiliu with a questioning gaze.

The Android said confidently: "The program is fine; we have indeed encountered a sudden situation!"

"But look outside, there isn't a single soul—not even a ghost—out there, just stars everywhere."

"Then please remember the scenery outside right now. In five days, you will find that all of this looks familiar."

Just as some people were doubting if Xiliu had malfunctioned somewhere.

The Helmsman, Tang Ling, who had been checking the navigation logs, shouted: "No need to wait five days. The ship's records show that we have been circling in the same place. For the past month, we haven't advanced a single step toward the center of the Three-Spiral System!"

At these words, everyone was horrified. No one had expected the fleet to be trapped in the vast universe.

A smile appeared on the corner of Chu Xingyang's mouth. He thought to himself, 'How interesting. Could this be a space ghost wall?'

No wonder no one has been able to touch the Light Walkers' territory for nearly a hundred million years; it turns out they have such bizarre maze technology.

He immediately used the quantum conductor to contact Solia on Gaimu Star: "Detonate three hundred Gamma-Ray Bursts. Set the target to the area surrounding our fleet right now. I want to clear out an empty zone!"

Hearing her teacher's voice, Solia was very excited, and since there was no biological activity in the border area of the Light Walkers anyway...

...she immediately followed the instructions without hesitation.

Chu Xingyang smirked and reminded the crew: "In one hour, our 300 Gamma-Ray Bursts will pass through the surroundings. Remember to close your eyes then; it would be a disaster if you went blind."

Everyone was confused by the Bishop's words, but only Yu Lan understood and immediately issued instructions: "All fleets, disperse evenly. The divine might will take the lead. The divine grace, bringing up the rear, must maintain a distance of sixty million kilometers from the divine might."

Not long after everything was prepared.

Three hundred dazzling, intense beams of light swept past the fleet.

The entire nearby region of space was illuminated as bright as day.

The light almost turned into a thick liquid, seeping into the hull. Even with their eyes closed, the crew could feel the burning pain in their eyeballs.

Consequently, one by one, they had to tightly wrap their heads with towels, blankets, and such, and then press their faces against the walls.

After a while, this energy gradually dissipated, and the few planets and all the interstellar dust in the vicinity were cleared away. The fleet immediately began to sail again.

The journey at first was no different from before.

It was just that as they approached the center of the Three-Spiral System, the density of the stars made people feel a bit terrified.

But not long after, the people on the divine might were surprised to find that the divine grace, which should have been at the rear, had actually run ahead of them!

Tomwence immediately sent a communication: "I was really shocked just now. For a moment, I thought you had vanished into thin air. Fortunately, you just ended up behind me."

Yu Lan responded angrily: "The hell it is! Can't you see we are repeating the same route? The empty zone near me right now is exactly where the Gamma-Ray Bursts attacked earlier."

Everyone fell silent.

With stellar coordinates, there was no need to worry about getting lost in space.

But this was even more bizarre—a space ghost wall that no one had ever witnessed before.

Some were already worried that the fleet would be trapped here forever.

They whispered among themselves.

"What should we do? Should we turn back? The supplies we brought are limited; we can't waste time here."

"Even if we turn back in this situation, it won't solve anything, right? Can we really escape the ghost wall by just turning back?"

Chu Xingyang, however, calmly projected his Consciousness Projection above the divine might.

That cycle of the journey just now had allowed him to roughly calculate the area of the ghost wall.

It was just that this area had already been cleared by the Gamma-Ray Bursts; it was empty, with nothing there.

What was going on?

Chu Xingyang tentatively used the skill Matter Conversion on this void.

Soon, the empty space began to twist in a strange way.

After a moment, he finally understood everything.

The Light Walkers had set up a ring of circular tunnels made of dark matter around their controlled territory.

Chu Xingyang converted these tunnels and then returned to the divine might.

He then explained the situation to Yu Lan and told her to proceed with confidence.

Yu Lan immediately ordered the fleet to advance and told everyone about the dark matter circular tunnels.

Everyone was full of excitement.

"What is this? The Light Walkers act all high and mighty. Turns out they're just hiding secretly using such cheap tricks."

"Exactly, those light clusters are even weaker than I thought. After taking the center of the Three-Spiral System, our Xingyang Civilization will be a galactic civilization."

Everyone immediately entered the hibernation pods again.

Three months later, they were awakened again upon entering the Light Walkers' territory.

In high spirits, they shouted loudly: "Advance toward the Light Energy Court, exterminate the heretics!"

Meanwhile, inside the Light Energy Court.

Due to the successive deaths of "Se", "Jin", and "Ming" among the six envoys.

The Supreme Brightness expressed concern to the remaining envoys: "Now there are only three of you left, and the Xingyang Civilization has already broken through the dark matter tunnels."

"The most critical thing is that, to this day, we still haven't figured out how they did it, including how they killed the three envoys. This civilization is too terrifying."

The envoys also erupted into disagreement.

One light cluster spoke first: "Supreme Brightness, you should evacuate first. The three of us will hold them off. When you find a way to defeat them, you can come back to avenge us."

Another light cluster immediately retorted: "Evacuate where? If we leave, will we be able to stay in the Three-Spiral System in the future? We still have thirty thousand energy entities and 600 light-ships. If you ask me, we should fight to the death!"

"Eight hundred ships were wiped out last time! On what grounds do you think we can win this time!"

"Because this is our territory! Even if I die, I will not let a low-level civilization trample on the dignity of the Light Walkers!"
