Courtyard House: Primordial Chaos Pearl

Before the celebratory glow of the Vega Galaxy had even faded, an emergency meeting of the Universal Symbiotic Alliance was already convened. Although the remnants of the Star-Eating Civilization fled in panic, they were like poisonous stingers scattered across the sea of ​​stars, still plundering the energy resources of peripheral star systems, and even secretly releasing "energy-devouring spores"—spores that can devour the energy core of planets, turning vibrant celestial bodies into desolate deserts.

"We must form an interstellar patrol fleet to wipe out the remnants of the Star Devourer and eradicate all the Energy Devourer spores!" Lin Dong's voice echoed in the Alliance council hall, the Chaos Pearl in his palm flashing blue light. "Blue Star is willing to take the lead in forming the first patrol fleet, with the Symbiosis as the flagship, carrying the core technologies of the Alliance's various civilizations to safeguard the order of the star sea."

The leader of the Flowing Light Civilization transformed into a golden ribbon of light, circling the council hall once. His gentle stream of consciousness carried a firm resolve: "The Vega system will provide spatial folding navigation technology, allowing patrol fleets to traverse tens of thousands of light-years in an instant; energy shield technology will also be shared, providing the fleets with indestructible protection."

The Crystal Clan leader responded immediately, his pale purple crystalline hand lightly tapping the table, producing a crisp echo: "The Crystal Clan is willing to contribute one hundred Star Crystal Energy Turrets. These turrets can absorb cosmic rays and convert them into offensive energy, specifically designed to counter the alloy hull of the Star Devouring Warship; we will also dispatch crystal engineers to provide technical support to the fleet."

The representative of the plant civilization extended a vine and offered a seed shimmering with green light: "This is the 'Purification Seed,' capable of taking root on planets contaminated by energy-devouring spores, secreting special enzymes to decompose the spores, and even repairing the planet's energy core. Wherever the patrol fleet goes, life will surely be rekindled."

In just ten days, an interstellar patrol fleet, led by Blue Star and coordinated by various civilizations within the alliance, was assembled. The fleet consisted of a hundred warships, with the Symbiotic Ship at its center, its bow bearing the four large characters "Starry Symbiosis," gleaming brightly in the starlight. Inside, warriors from different civilizations fought side-by-side—Blue Star's humans controlled the navigation system, the energy beings of the Flowing Light race managed the shields, the Crystal Race's Crystal People commanded the Star Crystal Cannons, and the Plant Civilization's Seed Masters guarded the Purifying Seeds.

The patrol fleet's first stop was a desolate planet contaminated by energy-devouring spores. This planet, once an agricultural base for the Alliance, was now covered in gray spores, its surface cracked and barren, and the light from its energy core was so faint as to be almost extinguished.

He Yushui, leading the seed masters of the plant civilization, was the first to land, planting purification seeds into the parched soil. The purification seeds sprouted instantly upon contact with the soil, their vibrant green vines spreading at a visible speed. Wherever they passed, the gray energy-devouring spores dissolved, and the soil gradually regained its moisture. He Yushui then grafted symbiotic plant seedlings from Blue Star onto the purification seeds. Pale green flowers quickly bloomed on the vines, and the energy ripples released by the flowers slowly seeped into the core of the barren star.

"The activity of the energy core is recovering!" The monitor's voice was filled with surprise. "It is expected that the barren planet will be able to regain its vitality and become the Alliance's agricultural base again in a month."

Just then, the fleet's radar suddenly sounded an alarm—three remnant Star-Eating Ship formations were flanking the desolate planet from three directions, the bone spikes on their hulls gleaming with a cold, icy light.

"Perfect timing!" Yan Jie slammed his fist on the control panel. "Activate the Star Crystal Turret, open the Spatial Folding Shield, prepare to engage the enemy!"

The bow of the Symbiosis glowed with a pale purple light, the star crystal turrets were fully charged, and beams of energy shot out, precisely hitting the engine room of the Star Devourer warship. The spatial folding shield of the Flowing Light Civilization enveloped the fleet, and the Star Devourer warship's cannon fire landed on the shield, only creating ripples before being swallowed up by the spatial waves.

Lin Xiangyang piloted the Symbiosis, channeling the energy of the Chaos Pearl into the ship's propulsion system. With its spatial folding technology fully activated, the ship transformed into a pale green streak, weaving through the enemy fleet. With each descent, a Star-Devouring warship was struck by its star crystal turret, the explosions bursting across the starry sea like fleeting fireworks.

The Crystal Clan's crystal engineers adjusted the turret's frequency, allowing the energy beams to penetrate the enemy ship's hull and directly destroy the internal energy-devouring spore storage compartments. As the spore compartments exploded, the gray spores scattered across the starry sea, quickly being devoured by the purifying spores released by the plant civilization, transforming into nutrients to nourish interstellar plants.

The battle lasted three hours, during which all three remnant fleets of the Star Eater were annihilated; not a single enemy ship escaped. Above the desolate planet, the gray spore clouds gradually dissipated, and the light of Alpha Centauri shone down, illuminating the revitalized land.

The patrol fleet's journey did not end there. Over the next six months, the fleet traversed the Alliance's peripheral star systems, eliminating dozens of remnants of the Star-Devouring Ships and eradicating the energy-devouring spores from hundreds of planets. On each planet, He Yushui would lead his team to plant purification seeds and symbiotic plants; in every battle, Yan Jiecheng was able to win with minimal losses by leveraging the Alliance's technology; Lin Xiangyang used the energy of the Chaos Pearl to provide the fleet with a continuous power source, and could also use his spatial fragmentation ability to open escape routes in times of crisis.

The name of Blue Star gradually gained prominence within the Alliance. More and more civilizations joined the patrol fleet, and more and more barren planets were revitalized under the vines of symbiotic plants.

On this day, the patrol fleet arrived at the Alliance's border star system, the lair of the Star-Eating Civilization—a black hole enveloped in a dark red nebula. Deep within the nebula, thousands of Star-Eating warships could be vaguely seen, their hulls covered in even more grotesque bone spikes than those encountered before.

Lin Dong stood on the bridge of the Symbiosis, gazing at the dark red nebula outside the window, the blue light of the Chaos Pearl in his palm surging. He knew that the real decisive battle was about to begin.

Lin Xiangyang walked to his father's side, opened the lighthouse log, and wrote a new line:

"The Covenant patrols to cleanse the remnants, and barren planets are revitalized to continue symbiosis. From the wheat fields of Blue Star to the battlefields of the Star Sea, the banner of symbiosis will forever fly. May this final battle end the darkness of plunder, and let every planet in the universe be bathed in the light of symbiosis."

Inside the bridge, warriors from various civilizations of the Alliance gripped their weapons tightly. The star crystal turrets were fully charged, the spatial folding shields gleamed, and the vines of the Purified Species swayed gently in the eco-pod.

The bow of the Symbiosis pointed towards the dark red nebula.
