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

Anya closed her eyes, carefully sensing the resonance between the magic power within her body and the artifact.

Without any rejection reaction or stinging pain, she confirmed through this test that her rank and physique had reached the activation threshold for this high-level item.

The body's strength is sufficient to withstand the pressure generated when the Blazing Sun's Remnant Heart is in operation.

"It won't cause too much impact or harm."

A short while later, Anya opened her eyes, withdrew her right hand, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After all, whether she could master this prop and hold it for enough time was related to her promise to Gu Xu.

My own life or death is secondary; if I cannot control this thing and fail to protect the entire Blue Star, then I will die a thousand deaths.

"Minister Li, Minister Zhang, I've confirmed it. I can definitely control this tool; it won't backfire on me."

Upon hearing this, Li Weiguo and Zhang Daoxuan relaxed slightly.

As long as someone can activate this item.

There is hope that Blue Star's defenses can be established.

"Please arrange for people to coordinate with Renn outside immediately."

"Have him bring all the Star Essence Crystals stored on the starship and load them into the energy device of this altar. The Blazing Sun's Remnant Heart requires an extremely large amount of starting energy!"

"We must complete the recharging before the insect swarm breaks through outer space."

"No problem, I'll arrange it right away."

Li Weiguo immediately activated communications and issued an order for assistance to the ground defense forces.

In less than five minutes.

Raine led a dozen fully armed elite soldiers from the Libra Nexus into the backup base.

Two soldiers carried a heavy, specially made, sealed metal box together.

"Sir, the Star Essence Crystal has arrived."

"Open and fill immediately."

"yes!"

The soldiers acted swiftly, and the sealed metal boxes were opened one by one.

Before long, a series of deep blue crystals came into view, although those crystals were extremely small, only about the size of half a fingernail.

But everyone can sense that it contains an extremely terrifying energy density.

Clearly, this is the core energy source used by starships for ultra-long-distance jumps. The energy compressed in each piece of star marrow crystal is enough to destroy a medium-sized city.

Before long, they were used as fuel to replenish the scorching sun's remnants, and were carefully taken out by the soldiers.

Under Rein's personal direction, pieces of Star Essence Crystal were embedded into the slots around the altar.

With a series of clicks as the mechanical locking mechanism clicked, all of the dozen or so high-purity star marrow crystals were in place.

The energy patterns connecting the card slots lit up instantly, and the dark blue light followed the array's trajectory, converging towards the blazing sun's remnant heart at the center.

"All personnel should leave the altar and maintain a safe distance."

With a wave of his hand, all the soldiers quickly retreated, and Li Weiguo and Zhang Daoxuan also retreated to the outside of the safety line.

Anya took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing rhythm, and stretched her hands forward at the same time, placing them lightly on either side of Lieyang Canxin.

This time, she was no longer testing the waters, but releasing the power within her without reservation.

Under the pull of magic, the azure star marrow crystal immediately entered an overload release state.

A massive amount of energy surged wildly into the heart of the blazing sun from the altar.

In an instant, the ancient crystal, which had been somewhat dim, burst forth with an extremely dazzling light after receiving a sufficient energy supply.

The entire basement was illuminated as if it were daytime, with no shadows to hide in.

Li Weiguo and Zhang Daoxuan instinctively raised their arms to shield their eyes from the bright light.

The surrounding temperature was rising rapidly, and the air became incredibly hot.

They could sense that this time the heat was no longer as destructive as it had been with Wang Cang before, but was filled with a powerful protective force.

Anya gritted her teeth, enduring the immense pressure from the energy overload, and steadily guided this enormous energy upwards with both hands.

"rise."

With a low shout, a golden halo erupted from the remnant of the blazing sun, piercing through the thick rock layers of the underground facility and soaring into the sky above Longjing.

It was as if she had been draped in a veil of blazing flames.

Immediately afterwards, the light curtain spread to every corner of the blue planet at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ordinary people and professionals in Longjing City took to the streets to look up at this spectacular scene, and the fear in their hearts was soothed by the sacred light that rose again.

Beyond the starry sky.

The insect swarm, now free from Gu Xu's deterrent, was preparing to launch a frenzied counterattack against Blue Star, and crashed into this seemingly fragile plane.

But what they collided with was the newly formed blazing sun defense barrier.

The moment they made contact, hundreds of thousands of Dimension Devourers began to be burned madly in the golden light.

The insect swarm's offensive was forcefully blocked outside the plane.

Blue Star's defenses have been successfully established once again.

……

Inside the underground base, golden light flowed gently.

Anya let out a long breath, and her tense shoulders relaxed slightly.

Once the defenses are in place, all we can do is pin our hopes on Gu Xu.

All the sacrifices will be worthwhile if that ancient ruler can return before the barrier collapses.

She turned her head and looked at Ryan, who was standing at the bottom of the steps.

"Raine, contact the starship outside immediately and activate governor's authority."

"Bring over the spare Divine Court medical pod from the starship."

"Also, take the essence of the Jianmu Root with you and go with these two ministers to help them treat that injured person."

"We must do everything we can to save them."

Upon hearing Anya's specific arrangements, a glimmer of light flashed across the expressions of Li Weiguo and Zhang Daoxuan.

"Commander Anya, I am deeply grateful. The defense of Blue Star is now in your hands."

Li Weiguo stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

Zhang Daoxuan also clasped his hands in a salute: "If we can rescue Wang Cang, Shenxia will surely reward us handsomely. Let's go and lead the way immediately."

"Go quickly."

Anya nodded and looked at Rein again: "That injured person faced the backlash of the high-level item directly, and his bodily functions are deteriorating every second."

"The longer it drags on, the harder it will be to save lives. While the Divine Court's medical pods are incredibly effective against high-level injuries, they are not a panacea. We must seize every second."

"clear!"

Ryan nodded, then turned to Li Weiguo and Zhang Daoxuan: "Ministers, please lead the way as soon as possible."

Before long, Raine, Li Weiguo, and Zhang Daoxuan walked quickly toward the elevator.

Soon, the heavy metal isolation door slammed shut behind them.

The vast underground base fell silent instantly.

She stood alone on the empty altar, silently gazing at the crystal that exuded an oppressive aura.

Although she had just given humanity a firm promise.

But she wasn't as relaxed as she appeared.

After all, her hometown of Ashmek is facing the most dangerous moment in the court's history.

All she can do now is pray silently.

Elders, the Divine Court's garrison must hold out, at least until the moment of his arrival.
