In the vast void, an enormous fleet orbited Azure Lotus Continent. Beyond the fleet, several unmanned vessels served as emergency ships, monitoring the entire Green Lotus World.
For the time being, only one spacecraft had entered Azure Lotus Continent: the secondary flagship. Its personnel consisted only of Jiang Hong and a handful of others; everyone else was a "Nanofluid Metal clone."
Now that exchanges had become more frequent, Chu Fei and the others' Nanofluid Metal clones could be reused repeatedly—after each use, they automatically returned to their boxes.
Jiang Hong and the few others normally lived aboard the spacecraft, where things were generally safe.
Even if the Heavenly Dao unleashed boundless heavenly punishment, the spacecraft could hold out for a while. A vessel tens of thousands of kilometers long was no paper construct. In theory, it could last until reinforcements arrived.
Yet the first problem did not come from within Azure Lotus Continent, but from outside.
At first, only a few meteors struck the fleet, and no one paid them much attention. But when swarms of meteors began appearing, everyone grew wary.
