After all, from Wang Cang's perspective, the only ones who could cause them trouble now were the legions of those false gods.

However, Zhang Daoxuan shook his head: "Elder Wang, if it were a false god, we wouldn't be so worried."

"Oh?"

Wang Cang raised an eyelid, showing some interest: "Not a false god? Then what is it? Is the alien sightseeing group lost?"

"It's Star Hunter."

Li Weiguo picked up the conversation from the side.

"Star Hunter?"

Wang Cang repeated the word, his expression blank, as if he had just heard the name of a new dish.

No wonder he didn't know.

Since he joined other demigods in supporting Gu Xu to defeat the pseudo-god projection, he used the "Source of God" given to him by Gu Xu to kick himself into the threshold of the Source level.

After his breakthrough, he didn't stay in Longjing for long and went straight back to Kunlun Ruins.

As a result, he missed out on everything that happened in the Elf Forest, including the information he extracted from those prisoners about the forces deep within the universe.

"Yes, Star Hunter."

Zhang Daoxuan rubbed his throbbing temples, walked to the holographic star map, pointed to the red dots that were getting closer and closer, and began to tutor the old man who had just "emerged from seclusion".

"To put it simply, Mr. Wang, you can understand it this way."

"Our planet Blue Star used to be a remote, isolated place with no internet or electricity. We used to fight and struggle in these mountains, and we found it quite lively."

"But in reality, outside the mountains is a world we can't even imagine."

That world is called the universe.

"And in the universe, there are countless forces, just like the feudal states of the past, that are constantly fighting and annexing each other."

Zhang Daoxuan paused, organized his thoughts, and tried to explain the complex interstellar relationship in a way that Wang Cang could understand.

"The Star Hunters who came this time belong to a faction called the Fallen Leaf Court. If the universe is likened to a vast ocean, they are the...water bandits on that ocean."

"They committed arson, murder, looting, and all sorts of evil deeds, making a living by robbing those planes weaker than themselves."

Hearing this, Wang Cang seemed to understand a bit. He took a puff of his pipe and snorted, "River bandits? Aren't they just a bunch of petty thieves who can't be brought to the table?"

"He is indeed a petty thief."

Li Weiguo shook his head with a wry smile, adding from the side, "But these petty thieves each possess power far exceeding that of Origin-level professionals; our current combat strength is simply no match for them!"

"In addition, their creations can not only travel freely in the sea of ​​stars, but their cannons can also shatter an asteroid with a single shot."

"You might not know this, but when these Star Hunters first appeared, Grandpa Chen Zhenyuan went to stop them, even using his most treasured tools, only to have them defeated in a single encounter!"

"If Commander Gu hadn't led his team to arrive in time, Old Master Chen would have almost sacrificed his life!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Cang froze on the spot.

They were clearly shocked by this news.

Does every Starsea Hunter possess Source Super Source level combat power?

Old Chen was beaten up like a grandson?

However, before he could recover from the news, Zhang Daoxuan continued, "Moreover... these Star Sea Hunters from the Withered Leaf Court are just an appetizer."

"Because, behind these Star Hunters, there's a behemoth called Ashmerkrin that has most likely also sent people here!"

"If the Fallen Leaf Court is a bandit group, then the Ashmerk Court is the national government of our star system."

"Furthermore, above Ashmerk Court, there is an even more powerful organization called the Star Council. Although it is not yet clear whether they have sent anyone over, even if they don't come now, it's highly likely they will later."

Upon hearing this string of tongue-twisting names, Wang Cang frowned even more deeply.

Although these terms are very novel.

But Wang Cang still understood what those terms meant.

But the problem is...

"You mean, these bandits and local tyrants suddenly came all over this remote, impoverished place? What are they after? The air here is so good?"

Zhang Daoxuan and Li Weiguo exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

Finally, Zhang Daoxuan took a deep breath and uttered a name.

"For... the scorching sun and broken heart."

"The Burning Sun's Heart?"

Wang Cang paused for a moment, then remembered.

Isn't that the "Genesis-level" item that Gu brought back from that high-dimensional secret realm they went to a while ago?

"Just for that thing?"

"Yes, for that thing."

Zhang Daoxuan smiled wryly: "A creation-level divine artifact is enough to drive all the forces in the entire star sea mad. It's like... you threw the Imperial Seal of the State into a bandit's den, do you think they wouldn't be envious?"

"..."

Wang Cang fell silent.

He didn't say anything more, but just tightened his grip on the pipe in his hand.

"A creation-level divine artifact..."

After a long silence, Wang Cang finally managed to squeeze out a sentence, his voice filled with an indescribable weariness and desolation: "As expected, we've attracted sharks. Our peaceful days are coming to an end before we've even had a chance to enjoy them..."

His remark sounded particularly clear in the quiet command center.

Everyone could hear the heaviness in those words.

Yes, it's come to an end.

From the moment Blue Star was illuminated on the star map of the universe, from the moment a treasure of the caliber of "Blazing Sun's Remnant Heart" appeared in this plane.

The so-called peace has become a luxury.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

This principle applies equally to the entire world.

For a moment, Wang Cang stood there quietly, his shadow stretched long under the lamplight, like a silent stone statue.

Nobody knows what he's thinking.

But Zhang Daoxuan and Li Weiguo knew that this old man, who had protected Shenxia for hundreds of years, was now carrying the weight of the entire plane on his shoulders.

After a moment, Wang Cang finally broke out of his silence.

He turned around, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, finally settling on Zhang Daoxuan and Li Weiguo's faces.

"Alright, we'll deal with whatever comes our way."

"Since you called me here, you must have had a plan in mind."

"Tell me, what do you need this old man for?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Daoxuan and Li Weiguo exchanged a glance, then spoke simultaneously: "We need your power... to activate that item!"

"Activate the item?"

Wang Cang was taken aback by these words: "That thing... isn't it ready to use right away? Does it need an old man like me to activate it?"

It wasn't that he was unwilling to help, but he did have some doubts.

Zhang Daoxuan nodded and said in a serious tone, "Because, according to our research, whether that thing can be used to its maximum extent requires not only the consumption of a large amount of resources."

"At the same time, it is also strongly related to the strength of his mental power and that of the user!"

"In other words, it needs a medium!"

"A core capable of transforming finite energy into infinite protective power!"

"Currently, in the entire Divine Shepherd, and even the entire plane, apart from Commander Gu, only Origin-level power... can ignite this sun that belongs to our Blue Star!"
