Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Latina is starting to worry about the players' future.

……

"Coming."

An Ran said to Ciqiya.

Ciqi asked, "What brings you all this way here? I remember this is the site of the Star Road explosion, right? Could it be that that incident was actually..."

"Shh!"

Press your index finger against your lips.

An Ran said to Ciqiya, "This is a very serious matter. You'll understand when you see it."

Only ten minutes had passed by then.

"It's here!"

Both the panda and Ella stared wide-eyed.

They had all seen the amazing colors with their own eyes.

Ella and Anran had traversed the Northern Territory countless times, and the battle between the Panda and the Elimerian Empire was the key to the appearance of the Extreme Color.

"This light..."

Ciqiya wiped her eyes.

The shimmering, colorful light was beautiful, but even her eyes felt a little dry after staring at it for a while.

Anran's vehicle slowly pulled up and stopped when Panda said it was okay.

There has long been a rumor in the northern border of Nagoria that the Extreme Colors are light leaking from a higher dimension.

Later, Anran confirmed with Panda that this statement was basically correct; the extreme colors were a unique light at the edge of the world where the void was located.

Since we can see extreme colors here, it means...

"I can indeed sense the existence of the void world."

The panda gave a definite answer: "However, the distance is still very far. If it's only this far, it's impossible for the void to come from over there."

This is good news for Anran, but somewhat disappointing for the panda.

If someone from the Void could come from there, it would mean she could return to her hometown.

Well, with An Ran as a companion, things aren't so bad.

"The key questions now are why this extreme color appeared after the star road explosion, and why the Eternal Star Road's route changed. Did the Hyperspace Ghost exist from the beginning? Did the explosion directly cause these changes, or was the explosion just the cup that was shattered in the signal?"

An Ran's eyebrows were almost twisted together.

Ciqiya was completely bewildered.

"What exactly are you talking about?"

In reality, the panda didn't know what had happened either; she was just there to offer some advice.

Ella, who understood the whole story, would never reveal it before Anran spoke.

An Ran only mentioned a part of it: "I saw this extreme color before when I was in the Elimeria Empire. It's something related to higher dimensions."

"Is it actually a higher dimension?"

Tsykya's expression turned serious.

She said, "It seems that the explosion of the Starway is far more complicated than I imagined."

“Yes,” An Ran nodded repeatedly. “This thing is something left behind by the pioneers, and it’s completely different from current technology. It would be great if we could find a way to get some of the pioneers’ technology.”

Tsykia waved her hand and said, "Don't think about such things. Those things have long been sealed off by the people of the Eternal Star Road. Even I can't get in touch with them."

"That would be such a shame."

An Ran said this, but she wasn't actually that disappointed.

The pioneers left behind many contingency plans, which must include their technology. The key issue is how to find these things. It seems we still need to make good use of the Crimson King.

With Tsukiya right beside her, An Ran couldn't easily let the Crimson King leave. Once Tsukiya was gone, she could take action.

An Ran lingered near the Star Road for several more days, but she did not find out any useful information. Because of Morris's death, the Eternal Star Road now strictly controls information, and it is impossible to obtain useful information unless you force your way in.

But this is not the situation Anran wanted.

"Let's go!"

The battle for Thousand Wheel Bay will continue for quite some time. Players have more and more room to express themselves, and even if Anran wanted to bring those players back, they would probably be very reluctant now. So let them continue doing their tasks.

With the war situation at a stalemate, now is arguably the best time to rescue Jill.

The Night Lord's territory must be empty at this moment, and he himself may not even be there.

"You're coming along too?"

An Ran said to Ciqiya in astonishment.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Ciqiya retorted.

“No.” An Ran shook her head. “It’s not that I’m unwilling, I’m just wondering if you don’t have other things to do?”

Tsychia nodded seriously and said, "Virginia usually handles the affairs of Silent City, so I really have a lot of free time."

"Do as you please."

An Ran stopped asking questions.

Although this would make it inconvenient for the Crimson King to go out and cause trouble, with Tsukiya backing him up, the chances of successfully rescuing Gil would be much greater.

It took more than twenty days to return safely to the Dust Territory.

During this period, most of the forces in the Eternal Star Road and the Exiled Empire witnessed the power of the players, and with their deliberate recruitment, the number of players appearing on the battlefield also increased.

The arrival of players intensifies the war, but slows down the pace of the battle.

In the past twenty-odd days, the Exile Empire has not made much progress; it has only further compressed the defensive space of the Eternal Star Road.

Give me directions.

An Ran released Chen Tong from prison.

With Tsukiya present, she probably wouldn't do anything underhanded.

Because it is pointless to scheme against a star field ruler.

Chen Tong said, "Give me the star map."

An Ran pulled out the star map, and Chen Tong became the temporary pilot. Under her guidance, the demon ship successfully arrived near the territory of the Night Overlord.

"This was hidden quite well!"

Before Anran lay a star map of the entire Dust Territory, while the location of the Night Lord was an inconspicuous galaxy.

Chen Tong said, "The Lord of the Night is not someone who likes to show himself in public."

An Ran remarked, "Just hearing that title makes it sound like..."

“I can’t go any further from here,” Tsukia suddenly said.

"why?"

Tsychia explained, "If I get too close, Bartholomew will easily sense my presence."

"I see. Actually, I wasn't planning on going in either."

"..."

An Ran said, "A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall. Just send my guardian over. There's not much point in me going myself."

So Anran and Ciqiya stayed outside.

The mechanical puppets left behind by Chen Tong and An Ran continued forward.

With Chen Tong's help, An Ran disguised the Demon Ship as Chen Tong's vehicle.

In this way, they successfully passed through the two outer checkpoints.

“We have to speed things up,” Chen Tong said.

The mechanical puppet nodded.

Although they managed to infiltrate successfully using Chen Tong's identity, those people would soon notice something amiss.

Why did Chen Tong, who was supposed to be on a mission in Qianlun Bay, suddenly return?

If someone has such doubts and reports it to their superiors, Chen Tong will be in danger.

Full speed ahead!

The spaceship swiftly swept across the starry sky, heading towards Chen Tong's residence.

The danger came much faster than Enron had imagined.

It takes about half an hour.

At this point, they were still two hours away from Chen Tong's residence by flight.

"shit."

An Ran frowned.

Fortunately, it wasn't the Lord of the Night himself who appeared at that moment; otherwise, even if Tsikia were nearby, it would have been too late to rescue him.

That was a level 186 Star Slayer.

It has strange horns on its head, clearly indicating that it is not an ordinary human.

"Let's deal with him as soon as possible."

Before the guardians could strike, that person spoke first.

"Chen Tong, why are you here?"

Chen Tong said coldly, "This is none of your business!"

"None of my business? What a joke! You should be fighting in Thousand Wheel Bay right now. If it weren't for the Lord's secret order, your presence here would mean you're deserting. I don't need to elaborate on what the fate of deserters is."

Chen Tong shouted, "Get out of the way!"
