With the revival of spiritual energy, I cultivated the Great Emperor's Technique on Blue Star.

The strategic landscape of the entire human race, from the archives of the Great Xia Central Map to the extraterritorial map, was completely rewritten overnight.

In the past, all of the Great Xia's defense systems, martial arts deployments, and resource allocations were built around the Blue Star itself, guarding the star passages and resisting alien races from beyond the realm. This has been the unchanging theme since the revival of human spiritual energy.

From the moment Lin Yan returned with a map of 500,000 miles of star field, the era of passively defending the territory was coming to an end, and the human race truly possessed the minimum qualifications to expand outward, actively defend the borders, and deploy defenses in the star sea.

The Supreme Council convened an emergency strategic meeting, bringing together all martial arts giants, military commanders, and chief researchers to finalize humanity's first extraterrestrial star system strategy, with the extraterrestrial star system map at its core.

The central command center is lit day and night, and a massive number of orders are issued from here to every martial arts base, military industrial town, and research institute in the Great Xia.

Mobilizing the entire nation's resources to expand overseas!

The following morning, as the first rays of sunlight bathed the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Martial Arts Research Department took the lead in activating the contingency plan for the extraterritorial project.

Su Wanjun, who had rushed to the capital, stood in front of the huge three-dimensional sand table of the star field. Her cold gaze swept over every key node in the 500,000-mile outer space. Her fingertips touched the air and locked onto the most core central position of the entire star field.

"The terrain of the outer star system is complex, with intersecting spatial disorder zones and star rock belts dividing the airspace. If we want to maintain a long-term presence and build a defense line, we must choose a strategically important location to establish a core stronghold."

Her voice was calm and precise, carrying an absolute air of rigor.

"Of all the 500,000-mile outer regions, this place has the highest spatial stability and a spiritual energy concentration that is more than three times that of Blue Star. Backed by the folded void layer, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can radiate across the entire mapping star field and is a natural outer-region defense hub."

On the holographic sand table, a bright red light appeared, fixed in the center of the outer star field.

This place is free from the energy erosion of the Blue Star's spatial rifts, avoids all the void currents and dangerous starfields, and occupies a peaceful star field of its own. The surrounding area is filled with spiritual energy, making it the most perfect place to build a city in the entire outer realm.

"The resolution calls for the initiation of a Level 1 off-region infrastructure development plan."

"Using this region as a foundation, construct humanity's first extraterritorial star-sea fortress, integrating defense, reconnaissance, supply, healing, troop training, and interstellar early warning, creating humanity's first impregnable fortress beyond our borders!"

With the command given, the Great Xia began operating at full speed.

Unlike native architecture on Earth, building a city outside of Earth presents a completely different challenge.

Ordinary reinforced concrete and modern alloys, once they step into the outer void, will be instantly weathered, disintegrated, and crushed by the chaotic rules of the starry sky, making it impossible for them to stand.

To establish a foothold in the Star Sea, one must rely on martial arts to forge weapons and spiritual energy to build a city!

All the major martial arts holy lands, top weapon-refining sects, and military forging bases of the Great Xia Dynasty were mobilized, and all the rare and precious materials, extraterrestrial gold, and divine materials from secret realms that had been accumulated over the years were transferred out.

Meteorite Iron, Star Jade, Void Crystal, Primordial Dragon Pattern Stone—countless rare materials continuously converge at the Imperial Capital Transfer Base and are transported to the Canyon Forbidden Zone.

Meanwhile, apart from those who had to be stationed at the major star channels, the remaining martial arts giants who had reached the fifth rank personally took action to lead the charge, stabilize the foundation of the extraterrestrial space, smooth out the void folds, and suppress the turbulent currents of the starry sky.

In three days, the entire human war machine roared to life.

At this moment, Lin Yan was not involved in the overall planning of secular infrastructure.

He first returned to Jiangcheng Martial Arts University and successfully graduated on his first day of enrollment, becoming one of the honorary presidents of Jiangcheng Martial Arts University and an absolute legendary figure in the history of Daxia.

Lin Yan's purpose in coming here was to continue exchanging various top-tier inheritances with Li Cang, who was temporarily stationed here.

After receiving an affirmative answer, he returned to the space rift and, with the help of the Devouring Heaven Array, calmed down to hone his other shore realm. The Daoist scriptures and profound methods within his body slowly circulated, and endless life essence flowed throughout his body, cleansing his physical body and soul again and again.

While the cultivation was proceeding peacefully, the infrastructure construction outside the region was progressing rapidly, fully demonstrating what "Great Xia Speed" truly meant.

Tens of thousands of top martial arts craftsmen, psionic array masters, and military soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty, escorted by fifth-tier powerhouses, stepped into the outer space in batches through spatial rifts.

The moment you arrive at the starry sky, a cold and vast sea of ​​stars rushes towards you, dark, expansive, and desolate, far beyond anyone's imagination.

"Set up the formation! Set the ground! Lay the foundation!"

A powerful shout resounded throughout the outer void.

Dozens of array masters joined forces to form hand seals, and tens of millions of basic array patterns rose into the air, intertwining to form a vast array that suppressed a region of the sky, calmed spatial disturbances, and isolated the chilling killing intent from beyond the domain.

The martial arts master raised his hand and unleashed his boundless spiritual power, using his supreme strength to move mountains and fill seas, melting a massive amount of divine iron for forging weapons into a torrent of golden spiritual liquid.

The spiritual liquid flowed through the void, landed to form a foundation, condensed into patterns to form walls, and was forged into a city!

Every brick in the city is tempered with martial arts spiritual power and engraved with protective array patterns; every inch of the city wall is integrated with the rules of the starry sky and adapted to the extraterrestrial environment; every tower is equipped with early warning and killing arrays and is equipped with powerful weapons of the human race.

The array patterns are nested in layers, integrating offense and defense, and linking the entire 500,000-mile star field.

Any extraterrestrial aura, malevolent energy fluctuations, or spatial anomalies that enter the star field will be instantly and accurately detected and warned by this giant city.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

With the combined efforts of the entire human race, a colossal star fortress spanning tens of thousands of miles, majestic and boundless, slowly took shape in the void beyond the Dark Realm.

The entire structure is interwoven with crystal and gold, with countless divine patterns flowing around it. The city walls stretch for thousands of miles, and the towers pierce through the dark depths of the sky, exuding a majestic and awe-inspiring presence that suppresses the starry sea.

The first formidable pass beyond the human realm—Hangu Pass—has been officially completed!

That's right, it's Hangu Pass. It borrows the name of that mythical pass from the history of the Great Xia Dynasty, hoping that one day, another "sage" will emerge from Hangu Pass on Earth.

The moment Hangu Pass took shape, a profound, majestic aura belonging to the human race traversed the void rift and returned to the world of Blue Star.

The spiritual energy of the Blue Star suddenly surged, and everyone felt inexplicably invigorated. Even the rules and the Great Dao became noticeably more active. It was unclear whether this was a gift from the Great Dao of expanding territory or a blessing from Heaven for recovering lost land.

The higher the level of cultivation of a cultivator, the more they can feel the change in this instant. Many people with profound backgrounds had their eyes sparkling and recalled some ancient books they had read before.

"Could those myths and legends be true? Could it be that the human race on Earth was once incredibly powerful? But why did they decline to such a state?"

In the forbidden canyon, Lin Yan, who was meditating and seeking enlightenment, suddenly opened his eyes.

His gaze pierced through layers of spatial barriers, clearly revealing the new human city standing tall in the dark depths of space.

The world changes dramatically in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, in the central hall of Hangu Pass, Su Wanjun stood in front of the main control console, her fingertips rapidly sliding across the light screen.

In an instant, billions of array patterns were activated, and the global early warning system, the star defense system, the psionic supply network, and the long-range strike array were all put into operation.

"All nodes are now linked, providing seamless coverage across a 500,000-mile star field. Early warning is available with zero blind spots, and the defense level meets the standards. The extraterrestrial garrison can now officially move in."

The cold, clear broadcast echoed throughout the entire formidable pass.
