The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

Fortunately, this young man, who possessed former power, did not seem to be a bloodthirsty person. After listening to their story, the coldness in his eyes subsided slightly.

Of course, that was indeed the case; Gu Xu never intended to make things too difficult for these people.

After all, if I wanted to make things difficult for them, I wouldn't need to leave this plane to save them.

In addition, these people were quite honest, and what they said basically matched the intelligence he had previously gathered.

As the dominant civilization in this divine realm, Ashmerkrin's actions in retrieving high-dimensional artifacts and responding to the large-scale invasion by the forces of the Old Gods are perfectly reasonable.

Moreover, judging from the battle just now, this woman was indeed fighting to the death against the false god's kin, without holding back at all.

If they were on the opposing side, they could never have acted so realistically.

Thinking of this, Gu Xu's face remained expressionless as he calmly asked, "Since you're here to scout the enemy's situation, have you found out the exact location of Munetimi?"

And this is precisely the fundamental reason why Gu Xu came to save these guys, without exception.

After all, these guys, as natives of the star field, definitely have more comprehensive information than I do. Rather than searching for people blindly, it's better to let these guys lend a hand.

However, when Gu Xu said "Munidimi" in a light tone, it didn't sound so pleasant to Anya, causing her brow to twitch twice.

She was familiar with this name.

Because Munedimi is listed as a Special Alert in the Starfall Divine Realm's archives.

As one of the seven agents of the Old God Zogra, Munedimi's every appearance is often accompanied by the ecological collapse of several planes.

The problem is that they don't even know if the Old Gods' legions are really pressing in on a large scale, which is why they came to investigate.

As for whether the agents themselves would actually come to this desolate Starfall Rift, how could they possibly know?

Thinking of this, Anya clutched her still-bleeding left shoulder, forced a smile, and shook her head with difficulty: "I...we don't know. Munetimi is one of the highest leaders of the Devourers, so naturally we have no control over his whereabouts!"

Why do you think he would personally appear on the fringes of the battlefield?

Upon hearing this, Gu Xu raised an eyebrow and burst into laughter.

Good heavens, he originally thought that Ashmerkrin, as a massive civilization that ruled this star system, would at least possess some core intelligence.

In the end, this fleet, which was almost completely wiped out, still didn't even understand what it was facing.

For a moment, Gu Xu couldn't help but sarcastically remark, "Your Ashmerkton intelligence network is quite interesting, isn't it? The entire Starfall Divine Realm is about to be engulfed in disaster, wiped out completely, yet you know nothing about it? What are the rulers of your divine realm doing? Just sitting around doing nothing?"

Upon hearing this, Anya's heart sank.

Although she realized they were being mocked, it didn't matter.

Instead, she could hear the certainty in the other party's tone. With Gu Xu's strength in casually killing seven experts of the same level, there was no need for him to bluff in front of her.

However, the assessment that "the entire star field is facing a great calamity" is far too heavy.

"What exactly do you mean by that, sir?"

Anya, ignoring her wounds, took half a step forward, her voice tense: "Why do you say that the entire Divine Realm is about to face a great calamity?"

"Literal meaning."

Gu Xu turned his head and glanced at the slowly retreating swarm of Devourer insects around him: "You think these insects and a large number of their kin warships are blockading the Starfall Rift just to search for the old authority?"

Anya didn't reply, but the surprise and doubt in her eyes said it all.

"Munedimi mobilized all the powerful members of his clan here, and completely blocked the subspace with billions of Dimensional Devourers, wasn't it all to deal with you? These guys are just there to hold me back!"

"If I'm not mistaken, he is currently constructing Zogra's descent array in your star system. Once the ritual is complete, the first thing he will do is to sacrifice all living beings in your entire Starfall Divine Realm to Zogra in one go."

These words struck Anya like a heavy hammer, leaving her feeling a buzzing in her head, her blood rushing to her head, and her body frozen in place.

"Blood...blood sacrifice?!"

Her voice trembled slightly, and her mind was in complete chaos.

What does it mean to sacrifice an entire star field?

The Starfall Divine Realm governs billions of civilized planes, inhabited by trillions of intelligent beings.

Throughout the long history of the Divine Realm, even in the most brutal interstellar wars, there has never been a precedent of an entire star field being sacrificed.

"This is impossible..."

For a moment, Anya shook her head in disbelief: "The star field is protected by the rules and barriers of the Divine Court. Even if Zogra is the original form of an ancient god, he would still have to endure the backlash from the divine realm when he descends across dimensions. How could Munetimi possibly do that..."

However, she only got halfway through her sentence before it suddenly got stuck in her throat.

She looked at the several enormous figures hovering behind Gu Xu, then looked down at her charred and shattered armor.

It felt like a bucket of ice water had been poured over my head.

Rules? Divine Court Barrier?

These things are indeed effective in conventional interstellar warfare, but the opponent is the agent of the Old God Zogra.

How many years has the Divine Court established this system of rules? How many eras have those ancient evil beings, who are barely surviving at the end of the river of time, lived?

Applying Ashmert's common sense to these lunatics is nothing short of self-deception.

The fact that there's no precedent doesn't mean they can't do it!

Anya fell silent for a moment.

Just then, Anya heard Raine's voice through her earpiece: "Governor! If that young man... what that gentleman said is true, then this news is extremely important to us!"

"It must be sent out as quickly as possible."

Anya was jolted back to reality by Rein's words; she understood the seriousness of the situation.

"I know, Renn. Don't panic. Immediately send all the information about the battle situation here, the movements of the clan leaders, and the possibility that Munetimi might be setting up a blood sacrifice array to Father."

"Have him report this to the Consul Council as soon as possible!"

"clear!!"

There was a pause on the other end of the communication line, followed by a series of clattering sounds as the console was tapped.

Two seconds later, Ryan's voice rang out again.

This time, however, his voice was filled with bitterness: "Governor...we can't send out our signal."

"What?"

Hearing this, Anya's brows furrowed deeply: "The hyperspace array that can transmit messages is broken?"

"It's not a problem with the array."

Raine swallowed hard, his voice slightly weak: "Starfall Rift is a remote place; there isn't even a single permanent star beacon in the vicinity!"

"Not only that, although the swarm of Devourer insects has receded, the remaining bio-force field on the periphery is still blocking the jump fault like mud. The distress signals we sent out earlier... couldn't penetrate this force field at all; they were all absorbed halfway through."
