All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

At the edge of interstellar space, that mysterious fragment of the world is slowly merging into this starry sky. The spatial patterns on its surface shimmer with their last glimmer, resonating completely with the surrounding spatial energy. The chaotic currents gradually dissipate, and the outline of the fragment also melts away, completely merging into this war-torn star field.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a crisis capable of upending the entire interstellar landscape was quietly approaching as the fragments merged.

In the core area where the fragments merged, the space trembled slightly, and a strange and dense energy fluctuation quietly spread. Unlike the Human Alliance and the Star River Federation, it carried an ancient desolation and bloodthirsty violence, yet it remained hidden, avoiding the monitoring equipment of all parties.

The next second, countless tiny cracks spread out in the void, and pale golden light spilled out from the cracks, accompanied by a dense rustling sound, as if something was awakening in the void.

Within the cracks, countless insect eggs were revealed—these eggs were dark brown in color, covered with fine hairs, piled together like grains of sand, their number too numerous to count. They flowed little by little into this starry sky along the cracks, floating in the void.

Each insect egg emitted a faint life force, its surface fuzz twitching slightly as if absorbing the surrounding spatial energy to accelerate its hatching. The once silent void was instantly filled with these endless insect eggs, exuding a chilling sense of oppression.

A moment later, the first egg broke open with a soft "crack." A small, jet-black insect emerged from the egg, its body segmented with six nimble legs and a sharp mouthpart that gleamed with a cold light.

The little insect had just hatched when it began to writhe wildly and devour the eggshells on the ground. Its size grew at a visible rate, from the size of a fingernail to the size of a fist in just a few seconds. Its mouthparts became increasingly sharp, and a faint aura of bloodlust lingered around it.

Once you have the first one, there will be countless others.

"Click, click, click..."

A series of cracking sounds echoed in the void, spreading like a tide. Countless insect eggs burst open simultaneously, and countless tiny insects emerged, their dark forms surging densely in the void like a black wave that blotted out the sky.

These insects come in various shapes and sizes. Some have sharp armor, like moving shields; some have long, thin stingers with venomous glints at the tips; and some have thin but flexible wings that allow them to dart through the air, emitting a piercing buzzing sound.

They have no reason, only the instinctive bloodlust and devouring. Any space dust or meteorite that comes near is frantically devoured by them and instantly turned into dust. They even absorb the surrounding energy fluctuations continuously, growing larger and larger in number.

Within this fragment of the world lies an endless horde of insectoids! They slumbered within the fragment for countless years, and now, as the fragment merges into this starry sky, they have finally been fully revived, spreading in all directions. Wherever they pass, desolation follows, and a bloodthirsty aura gradually permeates the entire starry sky.

The Zerg spread at an extremely rapid pace. The pitch-black swarm of insects, like an out-of-control flood, traversed the void. Every second, their numbers increased, and their combat power also increased. The originally concealed energy fluctuations gradually became denser and began to spread to more distant areas.

Meanwhile, in the outer space of the home planet of the Keloa race, two massive fleets were advancing in the same direction, not far from each other, yet both maintained a high degree of vigilance, and the air was thick with tension.

On one side was the Titan-class carrier strike group of the Human Alliance. Su Lan stood in the command cabin of the main ship, staring sharply at the holographic screen. She exuded a calm and dignified aura. Orders were transmitted in an orderly manner. The fleet engines roared and advanced at full speed toward the core hub of the Shellloa homeworld.

"Reporting to the Commander! The fleet has arrived in the outer star system of the home planet of the Keloyan race, and is still three hours away from the core hub!" The adjutant stepped forward quickly and reported in a firm tone.

Su Lan nodded slightly, her gaze falling on the terrain map on the screen. Her tone was grave: "Pass down the order: all fleets must remain on alert, expand their detection range, closely monitor the movements of the Shelloa race, and at the same time be wary of the Star River Federation's mediation forces to prevent them from playing any tricks."

"Also, contact Ye Fan and Han Mo's team and have them stand by near the Star Gate."

"Received!" The adjutant responded immediately, quickly turning around to get busy. The communications officer immediately tried to connect with Ye Fan, and a series of alert orders were quickly transmitted to each warship. All the cannons of the Human Alliance fleet were recharged, ready to deal with any emergencies.

In a corner of the command cabin, the communications officer was closely monitoring the surrounding energy fluctuations. His brows furrowed slightly, and a look of doubt appeared on his face. A faint abnormal fluctuation was appearing on the instrument. It was neither the energy aura of the Shellloa race nor the Source Ridge race, nor the fluctuation of the Star River Federation's warships. It was strange and unfamiliar.

"Strange, what kind of fluctuation is this?" the communications soldier muttered to himself, quickly adjusting the instrument parameters in an attempt to amplify the signal. However, the fluctuation was extremely weak, appearing and disappearing intermittently, as if it could vanish at any moment, making it impossible to accurately capture and analyze.

He didn't think much of it, assuming it was just an instrument malfunction or an anomaly caused by spatial disorder. He casually recorded the data and continued to monitor the movements of the Keloyan race and the Star River Federation. In his view, the most dangerous forces at the moment were these two, and he was completely unaware that an even more terrifying crisis was quietly approaching.

On Ye Fan's side, by the pool on the home planet of the Keloa race, he was waiting with Han Mo's team. The team members were operating the "Silver Wolf" power armor, lined up neatly, their expressions vigilant, constantly scanning the surrounding environment to guard against a sneak attack from the Keloa race.

"Ye Fan, when will the fleet arrive?" Han Mo asked through the communicator, his tone urgent, eager to completely wipe out the Keloa race and avenge the previous bitter battle.

"I just received instructions from Commander Su Lan that the fleet will arrive in three hours. We are to stand by here and wait for rendezvous," Ye Fan replied calmly. "I have a feeling that something is off about the surroundings. The detectors on my armor also detected a faint abnormal fluctuation just now."

Upon hearing this, Han Mo's expression changed slightly. He immediately activated the armor's detection function, expanding the detection range, and said in a serious tone, "Abnormal fluctuations? Let me see..."

A moment later, Han Mo's voice came again, tinged with doubt: "There is indeed a faint fluctuation, very strange. I can't see the source, nor can I determine what is making it. Could it be an ambush by the Keloya race?"

"It's hard to say." Ye Fan shook his head, his tone serious. "Pass down the order: everyone be on high alert, shrink the perimeter, and firmly guard the star gate. No matter what happens, do not act rashly. Wait for the fleet to arrive before making any plans."

"Yes!" The team members responded in unison, immediately adjusting their formation and raising their alertness to the highest level. Their weapons were ready to be used at any time. The energy core of the Red Mane Fiery Steed Zero was slightly activated, and the missile hive on its back and the floating cannons on its shoulders were ready to be activated at any time to deal with any sudden crisis.

On the other side, the Star River Federation's mediation fleet was slowly advancing, less than 10,000 kilometers away from the Human Alliance fleet, maintaining a safe distance, but also paying close attention to the Human Alliance fleet's movements, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Lin Yue stood in the command cabin of the main ship of the mediating fleet. The gentle smile on his face had long since disappeared, replaced by a sense of solemnity and calculation. He stared at the Human Alliance fleet on the holographic screen, his fingertips exerting a slight pressure, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

"Reporting, General! The Human Alliance fleet has arrived at the outer perimeter of the Carloan race's homeworld and is expanding its detection range. It seems they really intend to launch a full-scale attack on the core nexus." The subordinate stepped forward quickly and reported respectfully.

Lin Yue snorted coldly, his tone tinged with disdain: "Su Lan has quite the nerve, actually daring to lead her army in a full-scale attack. Isn't she afraid of starting a full-scale war with our Star River Federation?"

He paused, a calculating glint in his eyes: "Send down the order to slow the advance of the troop and follow behind the Human Alliance fleet, closely monitoring their movements. When they and the Shelloan race are both exhausted, we will then make our move. This way, we can both preserve the Shelloan race as a pawn and seize control of the core hub of the Shelloan race's home planet—a win-win situation."

"In addition, expand the detection range, be vigilant against the Human Alliance's surprise attack, and report immediately if any unusual activity is detected. Be prepared to activate the adjudication agreement at any time to contain the Human Alliance fleet."

"Received!" The subordinate responded immediately, quickly turning around to carry out the order. The Star River Federation fleet gradually slowed down, maintaining a safe distance from the Human Alliance fleet, lurking like a venomous snake in the rear, waiting for the best opportunity to strike.

Like the Allied Fleet, the Star River Federation's monitoring personnel also detected a faint abnormal fluctuation. The signal on the instruments came and went, strange and unfamiliar, and impossible to identify.

"General, we have detected a slight abnormal energy fluctuation. The source is unknown and cannot be analyzed. It is suspected to be an anomaly caused by spatial disorder." The monitoring personnel stepped forward quickly and reported respectfully to their superior.

Lin Yue waved his hand impatiently, his tone dismissive: "It's unimportant. It's most likely an instrument malfunction. Ignore it. Focus on monitoring the movements of the Human Alliance fleet and the Shellloa race. We absolutely cannot let them discover our plan ahead of time."

"Yes!" The monitoring personnel dared not say more and immediately responded, turning around to continue monitoring, putting that strange fluctuation behind them. In Lin Yue's view, as long as he controlled the movements of the Human Alliance and the Keloya race, he could control the situation, and there was no need to care about these insignificant anomalies.

But to his utter surprise, this seemingly insignificant abnormal fluctuation was actually emitted by the resurrected Zerg. At this moment, the pitch-black swarm of Zerg was approaching the fleets of the Human Alliance and the Star River Federation at an extremely fast speed. The dark figures blotted out the sky, and the bloodthirsty aura grew stronger and stronger.

Wherever the insect swarm passed, meteorites in the void were devoured and turned to dust. Even the floating Keloa scouts were instantly swallowed up, disappearing completely into the insect swarm without even having time to scream, leaving not a trace.

As the insect swarm advanced, the energy fluctuations they emitted became increasingly intense and no longer concealed. They were gradually detected by the monitoring instruments of the Human Alliance and the Star River Federation. The originally weak signals gradually became clear, appearing on the monitoring screens of both sides like a tide.

Inside the command center of the Human Alliance fleet, the communications officer's expression suddenly changed drastically. He abruptly stood up and reported urgently, "Commander! Something's wrong! We've detected a large number of abnormal energy fluctuations, rapidly approaching! They're numerous and their aura is strange. They're not from the Shellloa race or the Source Ridge sub-race, nor are they a fleet from the Star River Federation!"

Upon hearing this, Su Lan's pupils contracted sharply, her expression instantly turning grave. She strode to the monitoring screen, her gaze fixed intently on the signal, her tone icy: "Amplify the signal! Immediately analyze the source and target of the fluctuation!"

"Yes, sir!" The communications officer responded immediately, quickly operating the equipment to amplify the signal. On the screen, countless dots of light appeared, like a black wave rapidly approaching the Human Alliance fleet. The speed was extremely fast, and in an instant, the distance was significantly reduced.

"Unable to analyze the source! This aura is unprecedented and doesn't belong to any known race!" The communications officer's voice was tinged with panic as he quickly reported, "The number of light spots is still increasing. Preliminary estimates suggest at least tens of thousands, and the number is still rising!"

Su Lan's face grew increasingly grim, her fingertips trembled slightly, and a strong sense of unease rose in her heart—tens of thousands of unknown creatures, with a strange and bloodthirsty aura, if they were to collide head-on, even the Human Alliance fleet would pay a heavy price!

"Pass down the order: all fleets immediately adjust their formation to a defensive posture. Main guns and secondary guns all aim at the approaching abnormal target and prepare to fire!" Su Lan ordered in a deep voice, her tone firm and authoritative. "Expand the defensive perimeter and notify Ye Fan and Han Mo's squad."

"Roger!" The adjutant and communications officer responded in unison, their voices ringing out. They immediately turned and got to work, quickly relaying orders. The Human Alliance fleet instantly adjusted its formation, with warships lined up neatly, all cannons aimed at the approaching insect swarm, and all energy shields activated, assuming a formidable defensive posture, ready to meet any onslaught.

On the Star River Federation's side, the monitoring personnel also detected the anomaly. Their faces pale, they rushed to Lin Yue, reporting frantically, "Admiral! It's terrible! A large number of unknown creatures are rapidly approaching, their numbers are enormous, their aura is strange, and they are heading towards our fleet and the Human Alliance fleet!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue's pupils contracted sharply, and the calculation on his face was instantly replaced by shock. He rushed to the monitoring screen, and when he saw the dense cluster of light dots on the screen, his heart began to pound wildly, and a strong sense of fear rose in his heart—he had never seen so many unknown creatures before, and he could feel their bloodthirsty aura even through the screen, which was terrifying.

"How can there be so many unknown creatures? What are they?" Lin Yue asked in a panic, his tone filled with disbelief. His previous composure and calculation had completely vanished.

"We don't know! We can't analyze their race or combat strength. All we know is that their numbers are still increasing and they are advancing at an extremely fast pace. We expect to encounter our or the Human Alliance fleet in an hour!" The monitoring personnel's voice trembled, and their tone was full of panic.

Lin Yue took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and ordered urgently, "Pass down the order: all fleets must immediately withdraw! Get away from this area, and simultaneously activate the arbitration agreement and prepare for battle!"

He paused, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "Also, contact Su Lan and inform her of the situation with the unknown creatures. Put aside our grudges for now and join forces to deal with them! If they break through our defenses, we will all die!"

Because they captured a horrifying scene: the unknown planets that were passing by were all swallowed up by it!

"Received!" The subordinate responded immediately, quickly turned around to carry out the order, and the Star River Federation fleet immediately started its engines and began to withdraw. At the same time, it attempted to dock with Su Lan. The arbitration agreement was slowly activated, the core cannons were charged, and the original mediation posture instantly turned into combat mode.

At this moment, in the Cosmic Monitoring Branch of the Science and Technology Research Institute, far away in the core star field of the Human Alliance, a scene of bustling activity unfolded. Countless monitoring personnel sat in front of instruments, focusing intently on monitoring the movements of the entire starry sky. The humming of the instruments rose and fell, and the air was filled with a rigorous and tense atmosphere.

This is the core monitoring hub of the Human Alliance, responsible for monitoring energy fluctuations, warship movements, and unknown anomalies across the entire starry sky. Once danger is detected, it will be reported immediately to provide early warning to the frontline fleet and safeguard the security of the Human Alliance's core star region.

Monitor Li Ran sat in front of the instrument, his brows furrowed, his hands moving rapidly as he operated the equipment, a serious expression on his face. He was responsible for monitoring the star system where the home planet of the Shellloa race was located. Just now, a strong abnormal signal fluctuation suddenly appeared on the instrument, instantly breaking the original calm.

The signal was extremely strange, with a dense and violent energy fluctuation, unlike the aura of any known race. Moreover, the signal strength was continuously increasing and the range was constantly expanding. Clearly, the thing emitting the signal was numerous and had formidable combat power.

"What kind of signal is this? It's too strange!" Li Ran muttered to himself, quickly adjusting the instrument parameters and amplifying the signal, trying to analyze its source and nature. But no matter how he operated it, he could not accurately identify it—this signal had never appeared in the monitoring database of the Human Union before, and was extremely unfamiliar to him.

He immediately synchronized the signal to the main monitoring station and reported to his team leader: "Team leader! Strong and unusual signal fluctuations have been detected in the outer star region of the home planet of the Keloyan race. The aura is strange, the number is extremely large, and the source cannot be identified. It is suspected to be a large-scale activity by an unknown race!"

Upon hearing this, the team leader's expression changed instantly. He strode over to Li Ran's instrument, stared at the signal on the screen, and said gravely, "Immediately expand the monitoring area, pinpoint the signal source, analyze the signal spectrum with all our might, and simultaneously retrieve historical monitoring data for this area to see if there are any similar anomalies!"

"Furthermore, immediately report to the Dean and contact Commander Su Lan at the front lines, informing her of the unusual signal and instructing her to be on high alert and prepare for battle!"

"Received!" Li Ran responded immediately and quickly got to work. Other monitoring personnel also gathered around to assist in analyzing the signal. The entire monitoring branch instantly fell into a tense atmosphere. Everyone realized that this matter was by no means simple, and an unknown crisis was threatening the entire starry sky.

The team leader stood in front of the instrument, his eyes fixed on the signal on the screen, his brows furrowed, a strong sense of unease rising in his heart—the violent aura of this signal far surpassed that of the Keloyan race and the Star River Federation. If it really was a large-scale activity by an unknown race, it might trigger a catastrophe that would sweep across the entire starry sky.

Unbeknownst to him, this signal was emitted by the resurrected Zerg. At this moment, the dark swarm of Zerg was approaching the fleets of the Human Alliance and the Star River Federation. The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and a three-way battle was about to break out.

On the home planet of the Keloyan race, Ye Fan and Han Mo's team had received Su Lan's orders. The detectors on their armors could clearly detect the energy fluctuations of the Zerg. That bloodthirsty aura made everyone's hearts sink.

"Ye Fan, what exactly is this thing? Its aura is terrifying!" Han Mo asked through the communicator, his voice tinged with seriousness.

Ye Fan shook his head, his tone serious: "I don't know. Commander Su Lan didn't say either, only that we should prepare for battle as soon as possible. Whatever it is, it's definitely not easy to deal with. We must be careful and absolutely cannot act rashly."

He paused, then added, "Pass down the order: everyone stay close and don't fall behind. If any unusual situation arises, open fire immediately. Prioritize your own safety. We'll deal with the situation together once we rendezvous with the fleet."

"Yes!" The team members responded in unison, quickening their pace and closely following behind Ye Fan. The energy core of the Red-Maned Steed Zero was operating at full capacity, ready to deal with the Zerg's surprise attack at any time.

In the void, the dark swarm of insects drew ever closer. The Human Alliance fleet stood ready, while the Star River Federation fleet retreated while preparing for battle. The two sides temporarily set aside their grudges and subtly formed a standoff and alliance. Faced with this unknown and terrifying power, they both knew that if they fought alone, they would only be devoured one by one. Only by joining forces could they have a chance of survival.

At the monitoring branch of the Human Union Science and Technology Research Institute, the monitoring personnel are still working hard to analyze the abnormal signals. The director has received the report and immediately convened an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. Warning instructions are being transmitted rapidly, and the core star field of the Human Union has also entered a state of alert. All defenses have been activated to deal with this unknown crisis.

As the insect swarm approached, both ships stood ready, monitoring and early warning systems fully activated. This part of the starry sky was completely gripped by tension. No one knew where these insectoids came from, nor how powerful they truly were. Everyone knew that an unprecedented and fierce battle was about to begin.

Su Lan stood in the command cabin of the Human Alliance fleet, her gaze fixed firmly on the insect swarm signal on the screen. There was no fear in her eyes, only determination—no matter what these unknown creatures were, she had to protect the fleet, and she would never back down, even if it meant fighting with all her might.

Lin Yue stood in the command center of the Star River Federation, his expression still solemn, his eyes filled with apprehension.
