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

But the Starfall Divine Realm cannot be without the one before it.

If he doesn't personally go to the Dark Star System, once the interdimensional blood sacrifice is fully completed, all planes of Ashmerkton will perish.

Someone has to step forward and address these concerns.

Thinking of this, Anya straightened the damaged fasteners on her armor and forcibly suppressed the extreme fatigue emanating from her body.

"Your Excellency Gu Xu."

Gu Xu turned his head slightly and glanced at her.

Anya's gaze was utterly candid as she asked, "Are you worried that once you leave here for the Dark Sun Galaxy, without your deterrent effect, the remaining Dimensional Devourers on the outskirts will immediately launch a frenzied counterattack?"

"Could this directly threaten the safety of Earth?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xu turned his gaze to Anya and nodded decisively: "That's right. Now that we have the exact coordinates of Munetimi, getting there shouldn't be any difficulty for me."

"I can handle that blood sacrifice altar too."

As he spoke, Gu Xu raised his hand and pointed to the swarm of insects in the distance, which resembled a black tide: "But as soon as I step into the void, these insects, which have been suppressed for half a day, will swallow up the entire Blue Star."

"To your Starfall Divine Realm, Blue Star is merely a newly discovered, insignificant, nascent peripheral plane!"

"But for me, this place is different; it's a place I must protect."

"If I were to abandon my home to these monsters in order to stop the crisis in your divine realm, that would be unacceptable to me."

"I can't do a deal that loses money."

Gu Xu's confession stirred up a strange and complex emotion in Anya's heart.

In this cruel universe where advanced life forms have long been accustomed to ignoring the life and death of lower planes.

It's astonishing that a supreme powerhouse with ancient authority would care so much about the survival of a rudimentary planet.

This extreme favoritism seems somewhat out of place in the laws of interstellar society.

But this didn't make Anya laugh; instead, it made her feel at ease.

This directly proves that the boy in front of us has the most loyal and affectionate side of human nature.

He is an ally who can be communicated with and trusted.

Instead of a cold machine that only knows how to kill and scheme.

Anya fell into a brief moment of thought again.

His mind raced, rapidly counting and calculating all the resources he could currently utilize.

She knew very well that in order to get Gu Xu to completely relax and leave this place, she needed to...

We must give him an absolutely reliable guarantee.

A moment later, Anya raised her head, her eyes gradually hardening.

"Your Excellency Gu Xu."

"If you are willing to trust me, trust Ashmerktin, then while you travel to the Dark Star System to quell that interdimensional blood sacrifice, I will remain to guard the Blue Star plane."

As she spoke, Anya straightened her body slightly. Although her armor was covered in cracks, the aura of an interstellar commander was displayed without reservation.

"I assure you, I will never allow a single Dimension Eater to set foot in your homeland."

She spoke these words with conviction, carrying a resolute determination to succeed or die trying.

However, after hearing these words, Gu Xu did not show any appreciation or emotion.

Instead, he frowned slightly, looked Anya up and down, and then his gaze went straight past her to the main flagship of the Libra Hub not far away.

It was evident that a large portion of the composite armor on the warship's exterior had already peeled off.

The energy shield was already burning out, and terrifying cracks could even be clearly seen on the ship's hull.

Through the starship's broken porthole.

Gu Xu could even directly sense the faint life signs of the Star Sea soldiers inside.

They had just experienced a brutal one-sided massacre while surrounded by a swarm of insects.

If I hadn't intervened in time to save them, this fleet would have long since turned into dust in space.

With such a defeated and exhausted force, how dare they stand up and say they want to stay on Earth?

In Gu Xu's view, this is not courage.

This is an extremely stupid and suicidal act.

"Stay behind?"

Thinking of this, Gu Xu chuckled softly: "Commander Anya, your statement just now did sound quite tragic."

"But reality can never be overcome by just shouting slogans."

After saying that, Gu Xu pointed to the dilapidated starship behind her and ruthlessly revealed their miserable situation.

"Look at your people, and then look at your ship."

"Leaving aside the condition of your starship, the soldiers' condition has already been pushed to the limit."

"With your current remnants, you think you can deal with those two or three billion hungry Dimension Devourers on the periphery? Do you really think they're pushovers?"

Gu Xu stared intently into Anya's eyes, the oppressive force in his voice gradually increasing: "The moment I leave, the insect swarm will swarm up and tear your wrecked ship to shreds, without even a minute's delay."

"You think you can use this pointless act of suicide as a strategic bargaining chip to persuade me to leave? Don't you find that a bit ridiculous?"

Gu Xu's words were quite blunt.

They showed no regard for Anya's status as the governor of the star field.

After all, reality is cruel. Those two or three billion Devourers on the periphery won't stop their devouring just because you shouted a few heroic slogans.

However, upon hearing Gu Xu's words, Anya did not show any embarrassment or backing down.

He simply shook his head slightly.

"Your Excellency Gu Xu, you have misunderstood me."

"I am very aware of the current state of my fleet, and I do not expect to fight billions of Devourers hand-to-hand with this wrecked starship and exhausted soldiers."

"But in reality, we don't only have hand-to-hand combat as an option."

"Do you remember something I mentioned to you when we first met?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xu's thoughts raced. He recalled the scene when he first met Anya, and a flash of inspiration struck him.

"you mean……"

Gu Xu raised an eyebrow, vaguely guessing the other party's method: "The Blazing Sun's Remnant Heart?"

Anya nodded solemnly: "That's right, it's the Blazing Sun's Heart."

At this point, her tone became more confident: "That thing is a high-level artifact from the Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom. You should know its power very well. Once it can be fully activated, the defensive domain it releases will be enough to cover the entire plane."

"At that time, let alone a swarm of billions of insects, even if the entire main fleet of the pseudo-god's kin wanted to force its way in, it would have to pay an extremely heavy price."

Gu Xu looked at her noncommittally; he naturally knew the power of the Blazing Sun's Remnant Heart artifact.
