Fu ——————!

Suddenly, the golden dragon unfurled its magnificent sail-like wings, stirring up a wondrous golden storm in the universe. It raised its head high, and in the next moment, burning crows, ferocious white wolves, icy demonic snakes, and heavy Black Tortoise appeared around it. The four proud spirit beasts instantly bowed their heads, guarding the majestic body of the Golden Dragon Monk, creating an elemental wave in the cold and empty space of the universe.

Li Aoz was swept directly by the wave, but he was not negatively affected. Instead, he felt light all over, and the Aoneng in his body seemed to become inexhaustible.

[Hint: You are currently within an elementally rich region; Aura Value is considered 'infinite'.]

"This golden dragon has such a good personality," Li Aoz couldn't help but sigh. He himself was already the target of everyone's criticism, yet he still braved the enemy's firepower and directly opened his domain.

As expected of the Golden Dragon, I really hope that his players can learn from this spirit of selflessness.

Li Aoz charged forward at full speed, still under Negative Effect. Once his arcane Aoneng was completely suppressed, the [Lioz's Armor] wouldn't be able to sustain itself, and he would have to find Teleportation Node to leave as soon as possible.

With the blessing of the Golden Dragon's domain, the firepower of the Crystal Tower's ships reached a new level. Various magical torches and mysterious crystals burst forth rapidly. Mages chanted loudly, and magical elements resonated and echoed in the vacuum of the universe. Various ferocious and noble cosmic beasts appeared one after another, tearing open spatial rifts and launching an attack on the Night Butterfly Federation.

The Night Butterfly Federation was unable to withstand the onslaught for a time, but with the war having progressed to this point, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue fighting. At the command of the high-ranking commander, the mothership hovering in the star's orbit deployed a ring array, rapidly drawing solar prominences and energy from the scorching star, and aimed it at the main force of the Crystal Tower.

The next moment, the colorful magical warships suddenly stopped firing. Their magnificent hulls seemed to be draped in a black veil, gradually dimming and then merging into the starry sky, disappearing completely.

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't that Collapse Cannon?!" Li Aoz's pupils shrank, and he quickly used the forum's recording function to record it.

Although he knew both civilizations were formidable, he never expected them to directly use Collapse Cannon, a prohibited interstellar weapon.

The Collapse Cannon fires without warning or indication. It is an induced lethal weapon that causes matter swept by a special wave to continuously collapse until it is compressed into primordial particles.

The main reason this weapon is banned is that it will attract the attention of lower-level societies. In the senses of those lower-level societies, the large number of primitive particles that appear are particularly conspicuous, as if a civilization has suddenly appeared out of thin air in outer space.

This is a serious matter, like throwing a piece of fresh meat into a pool teeming with piranhas; it will only cause a social uproar and a fight.

Society, especially large-scale society, is one of the most dangerous things in the universe. Therefore, the large-scale use of Collapse Cannon is an act that is explicitly prohibited by the Cosmic Convention.

After recording the second round of launches, Li Aoz quickly accelerated his flight. If he didn't run away, witnessing this behavior, he might be caught up by the Night Butterfly Federation's ships, then shot eight times in the back and die by suicide.

"This is amazing! Looks like I'm going to make a fortune again."

Li Aoz knew all too well how he had built his empire. He could sell this firsthand information about threats to a news agency for a little money after he obtained his citizenship in the universe, or report it to Narrative-level Civilization for a reward. The [Heroes Empire] was happy to intervene in such matters.

Or, there is another option.

Li Aoz traversed the battlefield, bypassed the combat zone, and plunged into the rear of the Crystal Tower fleet. His [Eye of Truth] scanned the area and quickly located his target—it was situated in a Meteor Belt, appearing as a ring. It was constructed entirely of a mysterious material resembling bronze, with ancient and enigmatic symbols emanating a faint glow, and pale blue mysterious energy surging at the center of the ring.

"TP-190111, that's it!"

These are Teleportation Node left over from the ancient times. The main gods of the six systems used them to travel freely between star systems, faster and easier than any spacecraft. However, due to the great antiquity, few people know where the nodes lead.

Unlike stargates and warps, each node is bidirectional, but it depends on the individual. Some races are physically weak, and each use places too much strain on their bodies, making it impossible for them to step into the same stargate again in a short period of time.

Especially since Li Aoz isn't even considered a cosmic being yet, he'll probably be stuck on the other side of the node for half a year.

This would make it convenient for him to obtain a universal residency permit, and from the other side's perspective, he could also try to find a secondary profession as an "Architect." Players would definitely like that place too.

Li Aoz gradually slowed down, taking several hours to reduce his speed. He then carefully traversed the asteroid fragments, a process that was extremely lengthy. The [Transposition], [Eye of Truth], [Mountains Armor], [Natural Ignition], and [Death Link] in his pod were all rendered unusable. However, Li Aoz was not in a hurry. With the rate of changing an Aoneng every twenty minutes, the [Lioz's Armor] could still be maintained for a while.

He knew where this node would lead to; it was a very interesting planet.

However, just to be on the safe side, he stayed outside the node for a while longer, carefully checking for any leakage of Void Energy, so as not to get himself infected by the Void Infection.

Having confirmed that everything was correct, Li Aoz stepped directly into the node, his body being swallowed by the pale blue energy ball and disintegrated into tiny particles.

A moment later, Li Aoz's eyes lit up. He raised his hand, and the blinding sunlight shone into his eyes. His lungs trembled slightly, and it took him a while to adjust to the high-energy particles in the air.

The final Core Aura, Gravity, was also banned, causing the Lioz's Armor to collapse and disintegrate. Li Aoz also ceased to maintain his Overlord Form, reverting to his original appearance and surveying his surroundings.

Amidst crumbling walls, rampant vines, and three heads perched on a broken stone sculpture, amidst the chattering of ornate birds, Li Aoz gently placed the [Biochemical Pool] down. Relying on its severely worn metal casing—even with the protection of [Gravity] and [Pegasus Force], the Biochemical Pool was badly damaged, and he needed to quickly check on the passengers' condition.

He opened the hatch, but the player was nowhere to be seen. Li Aoz felt like he had forgotten something. He turned around, and after taking a few steps, a cold little head landed on his shoulder.

Where are we?

The gentle spring breeze lifted her cloak, her pale, dry hair fluttering in the wind. Ya Wen clung tightly to Li Aoz's arm and whispered in his ear, "I have never seen such a beautiful world, Mr. Li Aoz."

Li Aoz turned his head and met her gaze.

Her eyes have changed.

Its eyes, which used to be golden-green like gemstones, have now turned pure white, filled with threads like a spider web.

"Ya Wen?" Li Aoz said, "Aren't you going to explain?"

"My story is nothing special. Now, I just want to hear what you have to say." Ya Wen put her cloak back on. For some reason, she seemed even more insecure than before.

"You've changed so much..."

"I don't care what happens to me." Ya Wen found a rock and slowly sat down. "Why don't you introduce this place to us, Mr. Li Aoz?"

She obediently clasped her hands together and rested them on her thighs, her pale, withered hair swaying in the wind, easily reminiscent of spider silk.

Spider... shark? Li Aoz didn't know why, but he suddenly had this association, perhaps because the White Knight, Yuhelai, also had animal traces on him.

However, this can only be considered a coincidence. If Ya Wen had become a member of the Hidden Society, she would only be thinking about killing herself to avenge the jury.

Instead of seeking revenge, he followed her to such a far place. There were plenty of opportunities to kill him along the way, so she didn't have to wait until they arrived to make her move.

Since she didn't want to talk about her own affairs, Li Aoz didn't force her.

"This is a planet under the Crystal Tower Civilization, called White Candle Star. It has a developed education industry, a large number of pre-civilization ruins, and abundant magical resources."

"Simply put," Li Aoz said, "This is a university planet."
