The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

Unfortunately, to make contact with compatriots in parallel universes, one would need to traverse half a star system federation.

They and these colonial companies are not on the same planet or even in the same galaxy.

Without precise wormhole coordinates, it's not so easy to jump through.

Lu Qianwei didn't know how other countries' galactic colonies were defended, but Qin Yuechuan's side...

Because of the alien outbreak on Earth, they have long been on high alert, much like customs.

Without customs clearance, attempting to use a wormhole for a jump would result in everyone on board perishing inside the wormhole if the other side made even the slightest disturbance...

For various reasons, rather than wasting time and effort going there, Lu Qianwei simply decided to wait until the Freemasons' strength increased before making a move.

Only when you are strong will others treat you equally.

He briefly explained Qin Yuechuan's deeds and the situation in other countries to Dong Mingxi, so that she could understand the situation.

Lu Qianwei finally revealed the philosophy of his spacetime organization: "The Freemasons will not intervene in your internal affairs or interfere with your development decisions."

He hadn't forgotten that the nations of the Ling Cage universe were based on two systems: theocracy and imperial rule.

Although the political system of the Heluo Kingdom underwent some changes, it still collapsed before the transformation was completed.

He had a premonition that if he went to other parallel universes in the future, he would inevitably encounter other compatriots.

Even if you talk about a community of shared future, no one will be foolish enough to join you after just a few words.

Instead of wasting time arguing about differences in political systems and civilizational identity, we should stop at the idea of ​​political system differences and civilizational identity differences.

Lu Qianwei simply set up his own stage and put on a show—establishing a Time-Space Freemasonry.

Anyone who wants to gain benefits from other dimensions, whether it's technology, resources, or living space.

So everyone has to follow the rules and do their part, otherwise they can forget about getting close to the space-time tunnel.

As Lu Qianwei was making his calculations, Dong Mingxi was also having her own thoughts.

The organizational structure of the Coastal Union is indeed quite good.

Their world is surrounded by Devouring Beasts, so having such a channel is like a godsend.

Putting everything else aside, the resources on Gina alone would be enough to feed everyone on Earth for a long time.

But then Dong Mingxi looked up at Lu Qianwei and said, "The method the general mentioned is indeed a good idea."

"But I have a question—the Dark Fortress was just an accidental opening in a parallel universe."

Why are you so certain that another time-space portal can be created next time?

It's already incredibly lucky to accidentally open up a parallel universe!

She still doesn't understand what kind of energy Lu Qianwei and the others are using to maintain their state.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qianwei leaned back on the sofa, put his hands behind his head, and smiled calmly, "Your Highness, I don't think I ever mentioned how the time portal came about, did I?"

Dong Mingxi was taken aback. The other party had indeed not said that, and the news reports she had heard at that time were only publicly available information.

“Actually…” Lu Qianwei looked at her and said, word by word, “This is not science and technology, but a superpower I have awakened.”

"?!!!"

Dong Mingxi trembled slightly, her face filled with shock and disbelief.

Are there even superpower awakenings like this?!

After a few seconds of stunned silence, she couldn't help but feel speechless.

It seems that... only superpowers that exceed physical limits can explain this, given the current state of the wasteland.

Xuan Ling's time-manipulation ability is exactly like this.

It seems outrageous, but it is more convincing than current science and technology.

Dong Mingxi sighed softly, "Alright!"

When I get back, I'll tell my elder brother about this; he should be very interested in vocabulary.

"As for whether it will succeed..."

Thinking of the escapees within the capital, Dong Mingxi was truly unsure for a moment.

She assured that without witnessing the time portal firsthand, or even a parallel universe, not many people would believe her if she told them.

It's likely that, out of a sense of rigor, another group of people would come to verify its authenticity.

Lu Qianwei can only wait for good news.

The conversation didn't end there. Lu Qianwei changed the subject and discussed a large order with Dong Mingxi.

That is, to create a spectacle—a stargate—by leveraging the shipbuilding industry of Jingxu Starport!

All that was needed was a sci-fi form and anti-gravity for takeoff and landing… Dong Mingxi nodded in agreement without a second thought.

“There are plenty of idle docks at Xingbo Port. I will send two engineering teams there, and it should be completed in about a month.”

"As for compensation, you can use food from Gina Star to offset the price."

With this constant flow of food, her words would be more persuasive.

The next morning, Dong Mingxi glanced at the Starlight City that had been under construction day and night, and then embarked on his journey back to the capital.

During this trip to the bunker, the soldiers, workers, and even the captains on the fleet learned that the bunker possessed space technology.

Those who knew the inside story of escaping Earth, like Ouyang Lingfeng, were deeply moved.

After all, they chose to stay before the apocalypse, so why would they choose to leave after it happened?

Now that hope has been rekindled, their mindset has largely settled down.

When they go back this time, they'll all have to choose sides.

"It's spectacular!" Watching the spaceship take off is no less exciting than watching a rocket launch.

The people of Starlight City haven't seen such a sight in a long time.

One by one, they stopped to watch until the spaceship disappeared into the sky, only then did they regain their working spirit.

"elder brother!"

Then, Lu Yue, who seemed to appear out of nowhere, patted Lu Qianwei on the back.

She smiled, but in her heart she wanted nothing more than to strangle him!

The Space-Time Alliance!

He made the decision without even telling her about it!

They just approved the decision and then appointed her as vice president, then she just washed her hands of the matter. ヽ(#`Д')ノ Why don't you just die?!

If a whole bunch of parallel universes really do emerge in the future—she really doesn't dare to imagine how busy she'll be in the future!

“I have a feeling you’re thinking about something bad—” Lu Qianwei took a step back without hesitation.

"Hehe, why would I think of anything bad~" Lu Yue's smile grew even brighter. "Now, Gina Star is giving back to Dark Fortress and Starlight City."

You've struck another big deal with Jingxu.

Soon the people from Hisakawa will be here, and the Freemasons will have new members. I'm so happy!

Lu Qianwei looked at her suspiciously, unable to discern anything amiss, but he sensed something else in her words.

He asked in confusion, "Why aren't the people from the aristocratic alliance coming?"

"Ha! Do I even need to say that?" Lu Yue immediately rolled her eyes.

"If you tell them that there are wormholes that can traverse space, they might even send someone over to verify it."

But parallel universes..."

She shrugged, annoyed: "I hadn't even finished speaking when they called me an idiot and hung up."

They're probably still secretly calling us crazy, thinking we're trying to scam them out of their eco-park share with empty promises.

Lu Qianwei nodded in understanding. He really didn't expect those people to come; they only cared about their own small plot of land.

He knew all too well what kind of people these powerful families were; it would be better to wait until they left in their spaceship and then take over their population.

Chapter 52 Jiuchuan

"Currently, the Devouring Beasts have been pushed back ten miles by our army on a large scale due to widespread overclocking interference."

"Thanks to the damage we've done to the Mana Flowers over the years, the large-scale cluster damage to Mana Flowers can't be repaired, resulting in an oversupply."

"According to observations from the drone, the Devouring Beasts that failed to receive the source matter transfer will die from their injuries in 4 hours..."

As Bai Yuetian narrated, the defensive line representing Jiuchuan on the holographic screen stood like an iron wall.

The dark green light representing the Devouring Beasts was visibly fading and dissipating beyond the defensive line.

Standing before the circular table, Bai Jingyu looked at the current battle situation and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If the fighting continues, the missiles of the basic units will probably be completely destroyed.

"Based on this trend, we are confident that we can eliminate the Devourer on the Australian continent within 5 years."

After Bai Yuetian finished speaking, the people in the room did not rejoice.

Because there is one major trend they cannot stop: the collision of the Australian Plate and the Asian Plate more than 20 years from now!

During the more than 20-year hiatus, no matter how far they developed, they could not avoid the devastation brought by a geological eruption.

"Mayor, the voices of those who want to flee the city have resurfaced." Hong Qingcang, the director in charge of public security, gave a wry smile.

The problem with having too many smart people is that others can understand the intuitive data resulting from the connection between Australia and Asia.

"Currently, the escape faction has incited many newcomers to Jiuchuan. A group of them were arrested and sent to mine, but another group still appears."

As Hong Qingcang spoke, his sharp eyes swept across every face in front of the circular table.

"Unless we find out who is stirring up trouble behind the scenes, it will be hard to stop this wave of exodus."

Hong Qingcang looked at him suspiciously, and a murmur immediately broke out at the table.

A logistics officer sitting on the right immediately frowned. "What does Director Hong mean by that?"

Could it be that they suspect some of us are supporting the escapees?
