After passing through the Heavenly Net blockade, the Falling Star's Space Jump Engine officially activated.
Space around the hull began to warp. Pale blue ripples of energy spread outward from the warship, blurring the surrounding starlight into ribbons.
"Preparing for the first space jump. Jump countdown: ten, nine, eight..." The electronic voice sounded over the speakers again. The entire warship trembled faintly as its energy core reached peak output, and the energy pathways along its hull blazed with dazzling blue light.
The instant the countdown reached zero, the Falling Star became a streak of light and plunged into the warped void.
Lin Sheng's vision blurred as a powerful spatial force tugged at him, but the stabilizing field inside the warship quickly dispelled the discomfort.
The view outside dissolved into chaos. Countless lights and shadows intertwined and raced past, as though they were inside a tunnel through space and time.
Just fifteen minutes later, the space jump ended.
When Lin Sheng looked through the observation window again, the scene before him had changed beyond recognition.
Outside lay the true Endless Void. Countless stars shone like brilliant pearls in the pitch-black cosmos, each giving off a different glow.
Several small survey ships cruised slowly around Sunstar, as tiny as fireflies.
Farther away, a vast asteroid belt was faintly visible among the stars. Countless rocks of varying sizes floated through space, colliding with one another with muffled rumbles.
Occasionally, a comet trailing a long tail streaked across the heavens, leaving a brilliant trail.
The Endless Void before him seemed to have changed considerably from the void he remembered wandering through for over a decade.
It had become more colorful, more mysterious, and far more expansive.
Lin Sheng was not surprised. After all, he was now far, far stronger than he had been back
