Qu Jianlei's injuries this time were far too severe, especially to his Sea of Consciousness. They were not something that could be recovered from in the short term.
One day, as he was trying to cultivate Light Therapy, he suddenly received a message from Duo Gan.
She reported that a small fleet had appeared tens of millions of kilometers away and appeared likely to pass nearby.
Of course, it was also possible that their destination was this planet.
Qu Jianlei stood stunned for two seconds before sighing softly. "Avoid them for now. Put away the starship and build a Secret Chamber on the planet."
His physical condition was extremely poor, but he did not need to personally handle the construction of the Secret Chamber.
However, there were two things that he had to deal with himself: the Dao Stele and the box containing the evolving Abode.
Retracting the Dao Stele and sealing it again consumed a great deal of his energy. By the time he finished, his face had already turned somewhat pale.
As for the Abode, that would have to wait for now. Qinghu stepped in and concealed the box beneath rocks.
By then, the Secret Chamber had been completed, and everyone hid inside.
Not long after entering, Claire could not help asking again, "First One, why don't we teleport to the Link Nebula?"
She felt there was no need to build a Secret Chamber in such a desolate place. They could simply teleport away, so why hide here so miserably?
Qu Jianlei gave a dry chuckle without speaking. Only after a long while did he answer in a muffled voice, "The Link Nebula is a little dangerous for us right now."
"Hm?" Paranoid grew curious at once. "We have enough Flawed Portable Abodes."
Qu Jianlei fell silent again.
