High Martial Arts: Slay enemies to become stronger, forge invincibility from billions of corpses.

After chuckling a few times, the unknown entity spoke again: "Listen, little genius of the Cangxing Alliance, there are far too many places where you need my support right now."

"I can't stay in this starry sky for too long. Since Silver Radiance is in your hands and you can hold out at the Star Crown level for so long, then the rest of the battlefield is yours."

Song Chen was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, the other party added, "One last thing, if you want to survive, come find me at Tianmingxing later."

As the words fell, the massive silver halo suddenly contracted inward, the space collapsed towards the center as if its support had been removed, and then it vanished on the spot, leaving nothing behind.

Song Chen stood by the porthole, staring at the empty space for a long time.

"If you want to survive, go find you at Tianming Star."

He repeated the words in a low voice.

This expert, who was at least a ninth-order True Star Realm expert, casually crushed a Star Crown-level life form, and then came specifically to say this nonsensical thing to him.

It's weird no matter how you look at it.

He shook his head, suppressing his doubts for the time being; now was not the time to ponder this.

There are still many Blood Erosion creatures hiding deep within the Purple Moon ship, and a bunch more have escaped from the surface of the planet.

That guy is right, we need to finish the rest of the battle first.

He picked up the meteorite blade, turned around, and charged back into the ship.

There aren't many blood-corroding creatures left on the Purple Moon, but the rest are huddled in the lower compartments, hiding among the power outages and broken pipes.

Song Chen cleaned layer by layer. He walked into those dark cargo holds and pipe rooms, his Eye of Truth clearly marking every dark red life signal.

As the blade flashed, the blood-corroded creature screamed, fled, pounced from the corner, and was then cleaved in two.

Dark red blood splattered all over the walls, then scorched into a charred shell by the plasma from the Star Core Thunder Prison.

He cleaned the stern, then the hull, then the bow, and even the blood-corroded creatures hiding in the ventilation ducts and cargo container compartments did not escape his detection.

When they got to the last deck, it was covered with a thick layer of dark red debris. Stepping on it felt like stepping on dry, fallen leaves, making a brittle sound.

Song Chen pinned the last Blood-Corroded Creature to the alloy wall of the observation deck at the bow, pulled out his sword, glanced at the panel: 540 billion kill points. The ship was cleared out.

He walked to the edge of the largest hole in the ship's hull and looked down. On the purple planet, the continent near the crash trajectory had been completely ravaged by the previous Star Crown-class life form.

Large swaths of deep purple crystalline vegetation withered and turned black, the light purple river became murky, and the earth's crust was rolled up, revealing the still-smoking red and black rock layers underneath.

Without hesitation, Song Chen jumped down through the hole.

The planet's atmosphere was hot and humid, and when he landed on its surface, the soles of his boots sank into the soft, sticky soil.

The blood-corroding creatures here are different from those on the ship. They seem to have absorbed the planet's own biomass, and some have grown purple crystalline shells. They are also more stealthy than those on the ship.

But it's just a little more discreet.

Song Chen spread out his Eye of Truth and rapidly advanced across the planet's surface.

He doesn't need to chase every signal; as long as he crashes into the dense area, a single round of Star-Splitting Slash and Star Core Thunder Prison will wipe out all the Blood-Eroding Creatures within a radius of several kilometers.

He cleared the area one by one, from one end of the continent to the other, using the void to traverse several oceans without signal.

Two hours later, after all the blood-corrosion biological signals that could be detected on the planet's surface disappeared, he flew back to the Purple Moon.

The kill count has reached 600 billion.

Yuekui and the surviving crew waited by the hole. They saw Song Chen emerge from the dark purple sky and land steadily on the deck.

Yuekui stepped forward, her face still wet with blood, but she looked much better than before.

She opened her mouth as if she had a thousand words to say, but in the end she only managed to squeeze out, "Thank you."

Song Chen nodded, and Yue Kui took two more steps forward, her voice trembling slightly, "The Purple Moon was saved, and the people still alive on this ship were saved, all because of you. Moonshadow Civilization will not forget, and neither will I, Yue Kui."

As she spoke, she placed her right hand on her chest and gave Song Chen the most solemn military salute of the Moonshadow Clan.

The remaining guards behind them also raised their hands in salute.

Song Chen looked at them, but her mind was on something else.

He didn't feel like a hero, nor was he blinded by words of gratitude.

I'm still wondering why that big-eyed guy said that; it didn't sound like a casual suggestion.

In particular, it has now been confirmed that hundreds of battles have broken out simultaneously on the outskirts of the entire Moonshadow Civilization.

The scale of this battle has far exceeded the scope of the publicly stated mission description.

He had a bad feeling that he was probably involved in something much bigger than clearing out the remaining soldiers.

Just then, the disciplinary department's terminal emitted a sharp alarm, and an emergency battle report with a red border popped up.

Song Chen looked down and saw only a few lines of text on the screen.

[Urgent Battle Report, Supreme Mobilization Order from the Galactic Joint Operations Command]

The Blood-Eroded Civilization's attack this time is far more complex than previously estimated; it is not a simple assault, and the previous attacks were merely its vanguard.

The Blood-Eroded Civilization has launched a massive surprise attack on the Milky Way; its main forces are assembling and approaching at full speed.

[The Joint Operations Command has been established. A supreme mobilization order is hereby issued: All life forms of rank 7 and above located within the Moonshadow Civilization region and surrounding star sectors are hereby conscripted. No one may leave without authorization; violators will be hunted down by all civilizations in the Milky Way.]

Song Chen read the battle report three times from beginning to end, and suddenly he understood something.

The big-eyed creature had previously said that there were too many places that needed my support, but when it came to him alone and told him to go to Tianming Star to find it, it was more like giving him a way out in advance.

Because once the mobilization order is issued, you won't be able to leave even if you want to.

He wasn't entirely sure about this speculation, but it made logical sense.

As for why that big-eyed guy helped him, if I had to give a reason, it would probably be because of Ral.

Song Chen, dressed in silver, was clearly someone that Lar highly valued.

He thought for a moment, then turned to Yuekui and said, "Stabilize the boat first. I have other things to do, so I'll be going now."

Yuekui nodded without asking why.

Song Chen turned and walked towards Shadow Bee. The warp drive's engine warmed up, and the pale blue warp rings lit up one by one.

He entered the coordinates of the celestial star, forty light-years away.

The spaceship transformed into a beam of light and disappeared into the pale purple starry sky of the Moonshadow civilization.

A few hours later, Song Chen's Shadow Bee entered the orbital range of Tianming Star.

Tianmingxing is a planet with a diameter of nearly 70,000 kilometers, whose surface is covered with large clusters of silvery-gray cities and pale blue oceans.

A dense belt of space stations encircles the planet's orbit, where countless spaceships come and go.

Song Chen parked the Shadow Bee in the designated berth area for foreign ships and stepped out of the cabin.

The docking area was filled with warships from various civilizations, including the golden-red large cruisers of the Radiant Sun Civilization, the ice-crystal-painted frigates of the Frostmoon Civilization, and some flags that Song Chen couldn't recognize.

A tense and oppressive atmosphere permeated the area surrounding Tianming Star. All ships were taking off and landing frequently, and soldiers were walking hurriedly with their weapons always at hand.

Just as Song Chen was about to leave, she suddenly noticed a figure walking towards her. The figure looked very familiar.

It was a silver-gray avatar shrunk countless times, composed of several constantly rotating halos.

It slowly emerged from the air, as if it were growing out of space.
