On the Eight Extremes Star, I awakened the twelve talismans.

The thick blood mist erupted like dozens of volcanoes erupting simultaneously, gushing up from the ground and gathering into a dark red cloud that blotted out the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the blood that had been thrown into the air began to congeal into droplets and fall back down.

The entire battlefield fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was still in shock from what had just happened and hadn't come to their senses.

Beneath the abyss of the universe, a colossal eye that had slumbered for countless eons suddenly opened, gazing indifferently at the heavens.

The Zenith has been locked in.

...

Ye Han withdrew his hand, his expression unchanged, and flew towards the next location.

The density of energy points on Zenith is quite high; a quick glance reveals a dense cluster of red dots on the panel, so we need to hurry and absorb them.

Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are.

He landed on the ground, his control over the earth enveloped beneath his feet, and the ground quickly cracked open.

Jumped straight down.

The numbers on the system panel began to rise steadily.

One after another, the energy points balance steadily increased.

After finally collecting all the energy points that could be absorbed on the Zenith, the numbers on the panel had risen to a level that he was quite satisfied with.

[Energy Points: 131.8]

We're one step closer to upgrading the Rabbit Charm.

As he was leaving, a spacecraft painted with the insignia of the Zenith military sped towards him from a distance and hovered steadily in front of Ye Han.

The hatch opened, and an elderly man in a dark blue military uniform, with medals adorning his epaulets, strode out.

The man's hair was already gray, but he stood up straight and walked with a steady and powerful gait, clearly a man from a military background.

Judging from the respect shown to him by those around him, he is most likely a leader.

"Friend, please wait a moment."

The old man's voice was loud and sincere. He walked quickly to Ye Han and, disregarding his advanced age, bowed deeply.

"I am the Supreme Governor of the Zenith United Government, and on behalf of all the survivors of Zenith, I extend my deepest gratitude to you."

"If it weren't for your help today, the civilization of Zentradi would have been destroyed. Please come with me back to the government building so we can give you a proper welcome. The people of Zentradi will forever remember this kindness."

Ye Han waved his hand casually: "It was nothing, no need to mention it. I have other things to do, I'll be going now."

He turned around as if to leave, and his foot was already lifted.

He had never been interested in such scenes. He had already collected all the energy points and cleaned up the undead. Staying any longer would just be a waste of time.

"Judging from your dignified appearance and extraordinary abilities, you must be from Earth, right?"

Ye Han began to carefully examine the old governor in front of him.

The humans on Zentradi do resemble Earthlings in appearance, but closer inspection reveals obvious differences.

Its pupils were deep purple, its earlobes were more pointed and longer than those of Earthlings, and its skin had a faint bluish sheen.

These characteristics are completely different from those of Earthlings, and the old governor in front of him could not possibly determine his origins based on his appearance alone.

How did he find out he was from Earth?

"How did you know I'm from Earth?" Ye Han asked, his tone tinged with curiosity.

The old governor breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him finally stop, a smile of satisfaction appearing on his face: "Because there happens to be an Earthling on our planet."

"He has lived here for over a decade, and he looks almost exactly like you. When you made your move in space just now, our observation station captured an image of your face. I immediately thought you looked so much like him, so I dared to guess that you were also from Earth. It seems I was right."

Earthlings?

Deep within the chaotic star sea of ​​the devil's footprints, there is actually another Earthling?

Ye Han took the initiative to speak, "Take me to see him."

The old governor nodded repeatedly and personally led Ye Han onto the aircraft.

The aircraft slowly flew over the city ruins, and the city below was a scene of utter devastation.

Ye Han, sitting in the back row, asked, "When did that Earthling you mentioned come to Tianzen Star?"

The governor answered truthfully: "That was more than a decade ago. A fleet was passing through Zenith and made a brief stop here for resupply."

"One of the crew members in that fleet suddenly fell ill and needed long-term treatment, but the ship lacked the necessary medication and medical facilities, and there was no time to wait for him to recover, so he was left on Zenith. Our planet's medical system is responsible for his treatment, and we will find a way to send him away once he has fully recovered."

"The fleet continued its voyage, and the patient remained. Treatment lasted a long time, and by the time he fully recovered, the fleet had long since left the Chaotic Star Sea, vanished without a trace. Unable to contact them, he has lived on Zenith ever since, for over a decade now."

"What's the name of that fleet?" Ye Han asked.

"According to the patient, the fleet's name was Infinite Starship."

Infinite Starship.

More than ten years ago.

An Earthling who stayed on the planet Zenith.

When these pieces of information are put together, the direction they point to couldn't be clearer.

What a small world!

If everything the old governor said is true, it can be deduced immediately that it was Merlin's fleet.

That legendary fleet that set off from Earth, traversed black holes, sailed into the Devil's Footprints, and attempted to find the Rainbow Sea.

That Earthling must be one of the people accompanying the fleet.

After falling ill and being unable to continue traveling, he was left on the Zenith to receive treatment.

The fleet continued onward, heading into deeper, unknown territory, while he was left behind on this planet, where he remained for over a decade.

This is why we have to see it.

Ye Han knew in his heart that this was an unexpected joy.

I had only helped out of a predicament incident by chance and had no intention of staying any longer. I never thought I would encounter someone connected to Merlin on this remote planet.

If you happen to come across this opportunity, you absolutely cannot let it slip by.

Even the smallest clues are far more valuable than the information he currently possesses.

The aircraft slowly descended, skimming over an area heavily guarded by sentries and energy barriers, and finally landed in front of a heavily fortified building.

Ye Han followed the governor inside.

The interior of the building was eerily quiet, with heavy isolation doors spaced at intervals, creating a sense of being locked up.

The consul stopped in front of a silver-white door: "Mr. Ye, he's inside. Please come in."

After saying that, he stepped back and remained outside the door.

Ye Han glanced at him, didn't ask any questions, and pushed open the door to go inside.

This is a small living room with simple decor. The overall atmosphere of the room is not much different from that of the 1980s and 90s.

Ye Han's gaze slowly swept across the room, finally landing on the wall.

Several paintings were hanging on the wall.

The painting depicts various old scenes, devoid of people, yet filled with traces of human presence.

It was all done intentionally.

The Chaotic Star Sea is sealed within the Devil's Footprints, countless light-years away from the Milky Way.

Separated by layers of black hole barriers and countless spatial turbulence, returning to Earth from here is virtually impossible.

This person is most likely aware that they can never go back.
