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

Meanwhile, in the starry sky not far from the Blue Star plane.

The battered and bruised Divine Court starship hovered silently in the shadow of the asteroid belt.

Looking around, the armor on the entire hull is damaged in many places, making it hard to believe that it is a product of the divine court's high technology.

Meanwhile, inside the governor's office on the starship.

Anya stood in front of the panoramic porthole, her arms crossed over her chest, her brows furrowed tightly.

His once bright eyes were now filled with fine blood vessels.

The weariness in her eyes was impossible to hide.

These past few days have been like being fried in oil.

Ever since the insect swarm inexplicably receded and the dimensional pressure that had enveloped the entire star field dissipated, she had been trying to contact the Divine Court and her father, Terence.

But the communication channel was like a dead channel, with no response except for a constant busy tone.

Even worse, the communication requests from Sherlock were almost overwhelming her receiver.

Ministers Li Weiguo and Zhang Daoxuan of the Supreme Command asked her about Gu Xu's whereabouts eight hundred times a day.

How could she possibly answer?

She didn't even know whether Gu Xu was dead or alive!

"Your Excellency..."

At this moment, the adjutant, Ryan, cautiously approached, holding a steaming cup of refreshing drink: "You haven't slept for three days, have something to drink and rest."

"Sherlock has sent another communication request. Should we... answer it?"

Anya sighed, "Accept it! Although we don't know the specifics, we absolutely cannot be negligent!"

Renn gave a wry smile, holding his cup, unsure of what to do next.

Just then, the holographic communication station in the center of the bridge suddenly emitted a crisp "beep" sound.

Immediately afterwards, the previously chaotic signal bands stabilized instantly, and an encrypted blue beam of light shot into the sky.

A tall figure quickly outlined itself in mid-air.

Anya turned around and immediately looked at the holographic projection.

As the light faded, Terence's slightly haggard face, yet with a complex expression, was revealed.

"Father!"

Seeing this, Anya quickly stepped forward.

Terence looked at his equally disheveled daughter in the holographic projection, and his eyes flickered slightly.

"Anya...you've suffered so much."

Anya was taken aback by this sudden display of warmth.

She had prepared herself for her father's wrath and had even drafted her rebuttal.

As a result, Terrence completely stumped her.

However, now is clearly not the time to dwell on these things.

Anya shook her head, eagerly asking the question that concerned her most: "Father, I'm fine. What's the current situation regarding the crisis in the star field?"

Why did the Old Gods' kin and the swarm of dimensional worms suddenly retreat?

She paused, took a deep breath, and asked the question that had been weighing heavily on her mind: "And... what about Lord Gu Xu? He went to intercept Zogra, how is the battle going?"

"Where are we now?"

Terence did not answer immediately when faced with his daughter's barrage of questions.

He turned around, seemingly looking at something, and after a while, he turned back, his expression becoming more solemn than ever before.

"The crisis in the star system... can be said to have been temporarily resolved."

Terence spoke slowly, his voice low and deep.

Upon hearing the word "release," Anya's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and she almost collapsed from exhaustion.

She let out a long breath, feeling as if the mountain that had been pressing on her chest had finally been removed.

"Very good……"

Anya murmured to herself, then her eyes lit up, and she asked eagerly, "What about Lord Gu Xu? Where is he now? Is he safe?"

In her opinion, now that the crisis has been resolved, Lord Gu Xu should be safe and sound, right?

however.

Terence's next words, however, were like a bucket of cold water, completely chilling Anya to the bone.

"If you need a definite answer..."

Terence was silent for a moment, his facial muscles twitching slightly. "I can only say that I don't know either."

"have no idea?!"

Anya's voice rose several decibels: "Father, are you joking? Such a massive battle between gods, you don't know the outcome?"

"Oh……"

Terence gave a wry smile and shook his head: "You're far away in the Starfall Rift, you're unaware of what's happening within the Divine Court!"

"To be honest, that battle of the gods has caused the Dark Obsidian Galaxy and the Feathered Spirit Nexus, where the battle took place, to disappear completely."

Upon hearing this, Anya gasped, feeling a chill run down her spine.

The Dark Star System, the Feathered Spirit Nexus is gone?

That is the most prosperous star system and the most fortified hub in the Starfall Divine Realm.

And then... he just disappeared like that?

"Not only that."

Ignoring Anya's shock, Terence continued, his tone filled with deep awe: "Since that great battle, the entire Dark Star System, along with several surrounding star sectors, has been completely transformed."

"There is no living thing left there now!"

"Only endless black mist remained. It was like an absolute abyss barrier, completely enveloping the entire Dark Obsidian Galaxy."

"Anything that tries to get close to that black mist, whether it's a starship, a probe, or the mental power of a high-level professional, will be forcibly erased in an instant by some extremely domineering rule."

"No one can get in, and nothing can get out."

"Therefore, we have no way of knowing what exactly happened inside the black fog."

"If we were to give a definitive answer, we truly do not know whether Lord Gu Xu is still alive, let alone whether he has truly and completely defeated the Lord of Devouring Dimensions, Zogra."

"That's why, as I just said, the crisis appears to be only temporarily resolved."

As soon as the words were spoken, Anya stood there blankly, her mind buzzing.

Black fog.

Of course she knew what that black mist was.

On the outskirts of Blue Star, she had witnessed Gu Xu wield his power and wipe out all the Devourers.

But what terrifying size must the black mist that envelops the entire Dark Star System be?

Of course, the most crucial thing is that she has no way to explain it to Sherlock.

After all, they went there in good health, but did not return unscathed.

I can't very well tell them that their General Gu Xu has gone to the Dark Star System to fight against the Old Gods.

Then it turned into a cloud of black mist, and its fate is now unknown.

Then he himself would be completely unable to face those Shenxia people who were waiting for Gu Xu's return!

Seeing his daughter's silence, Terence could roughly guess what she was thinking.

"Anya, actually... you don't need to worry too much."

Terence softened his tone, seemingly to comfort his daughter, and also to convince himself: "Although we can't enter the black mist, according to the speculations of the family heads, the situation may not be as bad as it seems."
