...
Doomsday has arrived.
Longlin City became the most peaceful place on this planet.
Outside, mountains crumble and the earth splits.
Volcanoes and tsunamis rage across the surface of the planet.
The planet's interior is like a powder keg with a lit fuse, ready to explode at any moment.
Xia Ye used the magic web to forcibly preserve the geological structure beneath Longlin City.
This made Longlin City above relatively safe for the time being.
In the bustling City Lord's Mansion.
Xiu Wei Mo Qing brought Yun Li to meet Xia Ye, the Star Luo Resistance Alliance led by Princess Angela, the Seafaring Rangers, and—
The fox people!
Behind Xiu Wei Mo Qing.
A foxman airman from the Xianzhou fleet immediately saw the foxman warriors, his eyes filled with surprise and a hint of vigilance: "Who are you?"
“We are slaves of the Buli people who were rescued by the Seafaring Rangers—now members of the Star Luo Resistance Alliance.”
The foxman warriors didn't get angry at their own kind's suspicion, they simply explained calmly, not avoiding their slave status.
"Congratulations, compatriots!"
The foxman airman showed a relieved smile on his face, then said with a serious expression: "But, before that—"
"We need to conduct a mental assessment on you."
"We understand."
The foxman warriors didn't feel any anger at this attitude that almost treated them as suspects.
It wasn't because he didn't show his emotions.
But because—
After the Buli people split.
A group of fox people who had once been slaves rose up in rebellion.
They didn't return to the Xianzhou, instead, they believed they were already Buli people.
This group of fox people, called the White Wolf Pack, were more treacherous and cruel than the Buli people.
They specialized in disguising themselves as enslaved fox people, launching attacks when the Xianzhou soldiers and fox compatriots lowered their guard!
The Xianzhou Alliance suffered significant losses from them in the early stages!
"Mr. Xia Ye—"
"Isn't it time to talk about the magic sword now?"
Xia Ye and Yin Lang used the magic web to construct many large boundary gates in the city.
The humans in Longlin City could be quickly transferred to the cave heaven of the Xianzhou Battle Ship.
After the fox people were taken for mental assessment, Yun Li immediately couldn't wait to ask Xia Ye about the magic sword.
"Magic sword?"
Xia Ye raised the [Starfire] in his hand: "Are you talking about her?"
"Yes, it's her!"
"This sword is the magic sword that escaped from the Yanlun Casting Palace of the Zhu Ming Xianzhou a thousand years ago. Please give it to me!"
Yun Li obviously didn't see the helpless look of Xiu Wei Mo Qing beside her. A child thinks they're asking someone for a candied hawthorn!
"Why?"
Xia Ye's question made Yun Li stunned.
"Why what?"
"This is my sword!"
"Why should I give her to you?"
Xia Ye looked at the young Yun Li, who reached his chest.
Her round little face was cute.
Her figure was flat and without curves.
Her fair little legs and jade feet were indeed pleasing to the eye.
But since she was a young girl, and Xia Ye wasn't a pervert, he just took a couple of appreciative glances before looking away.
"But, it's a magic sword!"
Yun Li widened her eyes and argued: "Magic swords should be thrown into the furnace to be completely destroyed!"
"Isn't that unfair to the sword?"
Xia Ye smiled slightly: "You never asked their wishes when you forged them, and you never cared about their wishes when you wanted to 'completely destroy' them!"
"If it were just ordinary weapons, it would be fine. These are swords with consciousness, what's the difference between what you're doing and killing children who have defects?"
"This..."
Yun Li, a child, and the granddaughter of the [Candlelight General] Huai Yan of the Zhu Ming Xianzhou, had never been dared to argue with her like this before. She was taken aback by Xia Ye for a moment!
However, she was a genius ranked among the 'Eight Leaves of Yanlun', even though she was young, Yun Li quickly reacted: "A magic sword is a magic sword, as long as it is a magic sword, it will control the wielder, and ultimately cause great disaster!"
"What if this so-called magic sword hasn't caused any disaster, and even sacrificed itself for others?"
Xia Ye held up [Starfire]: "I promised [Starfire], as long as she helped me bring you here, to save the humans on this planet, I wouldn't let you take her away—"
"She could have not done that, after all, you didn't discover her escape—"
"Now that she has, I can't break my word!"
Xiu Wei Mo Qing glanced at [Starfire], pondered for a moment, and said: "This magic sword has not yet caused any harm, so it will remain in Mr. Xia Ye's hands for now. I will report back to the Yanlun Casting Palace and the General before making a decision!"
"How can you do that!"
Yun Li pouted, her worries written on her face.
Xiu Wei Mo Qing was a little helpless. How come this little ancestor didn't know how to consider the bigger picture? Just a magic sword, it's not worth antagonizing the Star穹 train. It's best to leave it to the General!
......
On the Xianzhou Battle Ship.
Everyone watched a planet enter death.
A violent explosion directly blew the planet into countless fragments.
Flames, magma, cities, mountains, oceans.
These things that were built upon the existence of the planet quickly fell silent in the cold, dark universe.
Civilizations of thousands and tens of thousands of years disappeared along with the planet that birthed them, a planet that had no name on the star chart. They vanished into the universe like dust, without causing any ripples!
"Xiu Wei Mo Qing, what are you going to do with them?"
Xia Ye glanced at the distance.
Princess Angela quietly watched her home planet turn into the backdrop of the universe after a moment of brightness.
Her amber eyes held a touch of confusion.
Even a strong and courageous woman like her who could shoulder the fate of the world, when faced with such a thing, would inevitably feel a moment of weakness!
"According to the general practice of the Alliance, they will be taken back to the Xianzhou and sent to a cave heaven dedicated to housing interstellar refugees. When a suitable planet is found, they can rebuild their civilization!"
Of course, Xiu Wei Mo Qing didn't say.
There was also another possibility—
If the conditions were met, these people could even join the Xianzhou.
However, those conditions were too demanding. It's better to not give them this kind of hope, to save them from disappointment later and then hating them.
"The Xianzhou's cave heaven?"
Xia Ye was interested in this: "I've long heard that the Xianzhou Alliance's cave heaven technology is advanced, I didn't expect there to be a cave heaven specifically for housing interstellar refugees!"
"This should be attributed to Di Gong Si Ming—"
Xiu Wei Mo Qing smiled and said: "But, I'm just a Cloud Rider, I'm not familiar with this, if Mr. Xia Ye is interested, you can go and see for yourself on any Xianzhou~"
"My companions have already gone to the Luofu Xianzhou, after I finish here, I will also go there. I'll have to get a good understanding then."
Last night, Xia Ye had received a message from Ji Zi.
Just like the script with Ai Li Ou, when the magic web was interfered with, Kafka guided them to the Xianzhou.
Of course, the interstellar jump wasn't instantaneous, and they couldn't jump directly to the entrance of the Xianzhou, so they were approaching the Xianzhou now and preparing to dock.
Xia Ye chatted with Xiu Wei Mo Qing for a while.
During this time, Yun Li followed Xia Ye.
Even when Xia Ye said goodbye to Xiu Wei Mo Qing to see Princess Angela, she followed Xia Ye like a little shadow.
"Miss Yun Li, what do you want to do?"
"I want that magic sword!"
Yun Li stretched out her little hand and placed it in front of Xia Ye.
"That won't work~"
Xia Ye gently patted her little hand and smiled: "This is my sword, I can't give it to you!"
"Then you come and fight me!"
Yun Li pulled out a crimson giant sword that was several times bigger than her body, and struck a pose: "If I win, you will give me that magic sword!"
"What if you lose?"
"If I lose, I'll ask for it next time!"
"You're quite a planner~"
Xia Ye couldn't help but touch her head: "Come on then~"
Time flew by.
Only ten minutes had passed.
Yun Li was following Xia Ye again.
She was muttering things like "It's impossible, the difference is so big," and "I have to work harder."
Xia Ye didn't pay any attention to her, but turned to Princess Angela, who had been silent: "Princess Angela—"
"Xia Ye..."
Angela's eyes were a little sad: "Now, not to mention the Star Luo Empire, even our planet is gone. The title of princess is meaningless. Call me Angela!"
"Alright, I'm just here to tell you, I won't reclaim the magic web. With the help of the magic web, you should be able to rebuild civilization with fewer detours."
"The Xianzhou went through the war against the Bountiful People, and is now recovering, and will also help many worlds destroyed by the Bountiful People to restore civilization. You need to seize this opportunity."
"I understand!" Princess Angela nodded: "Thank you, Xia Ye!"
Yun Li, who was following Xia Ye, heard their conversation.
She looked up and down at Xia Ye, and suddenly said: "You—"
"You seem like a good person!"
"How can a good person use a magic sword?"
"Still stuck on this!"
Xia Ye didn't answer her, but instead smiled and said: "When Angela and the others arrive at your Xianzhou, Yun Li, please take good care of them for me. I'll count on you!"
"That's no problem, but—"
"Miss Yun Li!"
Before Yun Li could finish, a Cloud Rider ran over: "Xiu Wei Mo Qing asked me to inform you, Mr. Xia Ye and Miss Angela, we need to detour to Luofu, to place Miss Angela and her people in the Xianzhou's cave heaven. This is a direct order from the General!"
"Huh?"
Yun Li/Xia Ye/Angela were all surprised!
Why would they suddenly go to Luofu?
