47: Chapter 47 The Fugitives, News of the Wandering Earth

With the activation of the Warp Engine, the entire interior of the divine might shuddered slightly.

All the crew members were surging with excitement; they knew this would be the first faster-than-light voyage for the humans of Blue Star.

The scenery outside the portholes began to become bizarre and surreal. Dense, rainbow-like rays of light washed over them like a rushing tide, as dazzling and colorful as a dream.

But before long, the scenery outside returned to the cosmic background, and the divine might shut down its Warp Engine.

The vice captain, Yu Lan, excitedly announced: "We have just traveled two light-years and are now outside the Solar System."

After saying this, she felt a profound sense of loss.

Because the captain, Xingyang God, had not come this time either.

Moreover, they were far away from the sun and far away from the body of the god. This caused a lingering sadness to arise in her heart.

Wei Wei, harboring the same feelings, walked over at this moment. The two women held hands, comforting each other.

"It is fine. Once we pick up the fugitives, we will soon return to the Solar System where the great deity resides."

Xiliu looked steadily at the two and said slowly: "You really have a deep dependence on Xingyang God. As a mechanical lifeform, I really want to experience this kind of emotion, but unfortunately, I do not have a complete heart!"

Yu Lan walked over and smiled: "It is okay. You are very long-lived. You will have plenty of time to experience the brilliance and greatness of the great deity!"

At this moment, all the crew members also became aware of their own feelings.

Someone counted on their fingers: "We are now one light-year away from the Oort Cloud at the edge of the Solar System, which means we are two light-years away from the sun. Let us complete the mission early and go back, back into the warm sunlight of Xingyang God."

The divine might sailed at full speed toward the fugitives' spaceship.

Soon, a signal came from the radar; it was an alien spaceship nearly four hundred meters in length and width.

"So big, much larger than our divine might, but I do not know if it has weapons on board." Yu Lan stared at the holographic image.

Xiliu explained from the side: "This is a small ecological ship. All the equipment inside is designed to allow humans to survive on it for a sufficiently long time, so there is no space to carry weapons."

As the two spaceships approached each other.

The people on the divine might finally saw the appearance of the fugitives' spaceship.

It was shaped approximately like a giant peach.

But compared to the brightly lit divine might, there was not a single glimmer of light on the peach.

"Hmm? Could it be that everyone on board died because their resources were exhausted?" The Helmsman, Tang Ling, voiced his concern.

This was the first mission issued by Xingyang God, and no one wanted to return empty-handed.

Yu Lan turned on the communication broadcast to call the other side: "This is the Blue Star divine might. Because we discovered that your destination is our planet, Blue Star, the great deity specially sent us to pick you up."

A long time passed without receiving any response.

At this point, some people began to get anxious. Because the docking channel of the spaceship could not be opened unilaterally.

After a while, Xiliu suddenly thought of something.

He dashed to Yu Lan's side and said into the voice device: "I know you think this is a warship of the Absolute Core; in fact, I was indeed a mechanical lifeform that followed the main brain. But this warship has been defeated and captured by the deity of Blue Star, and I only survived after surrendering. You can look at the livery on the warship."

After another moment, the voice of the fugitives finally came through.

Apparently, the other party had deliberated carefully. A hoarse, old voice replied: "This is the ecological spaceship Ark. We are the Liz People from the Vela galaxy cluster. We are now requesting your help. Our hull has malfunctioned, and we cannot make it to your planet."

A thunderous cheer erupted on the divine might.

"Xingyang God be praised, we welcome all pious believers!" Yu Lan said excitedly.

At the same time, she brought the divine might close to the opposite spaceship and opened the channel to begin docking.

Meanwhile, the Liz People began to feel uneasy and deeply worried.

The old man who had just spoken with Blue Star comforted them: "Rest assured, the other party is definitely not from the Absolute Core. If it were them, they would have already blown us to smithereens with a single shot; there would be no need to go through all this trouble."

A middle-aged man replied: "I understand that. But those people mentioned something about a deity. Could their social ideology still be stuck in the era of ancient sacrifices? This kind of society is too terrifying; we won't be used as human sacrifices, will we?"

The members of the decision-making group looked at each other, and the fear of the unknown was hard to hide in everyone's eyes.

The old man sighed: "At this point, do we have any other choice? Besides, if they could defeat the Absolute Core, that at least shows their technology is very advanced."

After speaking, he started the spaceship docking procedure.

The hatch opened, and the first to enter was a middle-aged woman who introduced herself: "Hello, I am the medical officer of the divine might, Wei Wei, and beside me is the captain of the First Field Team, Le Gang, and his team members!"

The Liz People were influenced by the poised, intellectual, and elegant woman, and everyone's guard dropped significantly. Although some were curious that the visiting Blue Star humans did not appear to be of the same race, now was clearly not the time to ask about that.

Le Gang and his team members began to work in an orderly fashion.

They counted the number of Liz People and the various items brought onto the divine might, and notified the logistics staff to arrange rooms for them in a separate area.

Wei Wei stood to the side, tallying those who were physically unwell or malnourished.

The old man from the Liz People's decision-making group expressed sincere gratitude: "You are truly too kind, allowing us, who were on the verge of extinction, to continue on. I do not know how to thank you."

Wei Wei, who was registering them, quickly looked toward a statue in the depths of the cabin: "You should thank the great deity; it was the Great Deity Xingyang who sent us to pick you up."

The old man rubbed his eyes: "Is this your god? On our way fleeing, we once encountered a civilization that carried a planet with them, and they called themselves Earthlings. And one of those Earthlings looked somewhat similar to your deity!"
