You only realize how little you know when you need it, and you can never have too much money when you need it. Wang Xuan suddenly realized that his account wasn't rich at all, and he couldn't even afford a boat ticket.

A single ticket costs two to three million New Star Coin, and that's only because continuous technological upgrades have led to a constant decrease in the cost of long-distance space travel; it used to be much more expensive.

He possesses stone tablet scriptures, Pre-Qin Golden Bamboo Slips, several rare treasures, and even Earth Immortal Spring immortal water, all of which are priceless, but he cannot exchange them.

"There are actually many opportunities to make money, such as Extend Life, but I chose rare treasures. However, these things will most likely depreciate within a year, so I need to prepare for my future life," he muttered to himself.

After the collapse of the mythological dimension, even the banished Transcendent Immortals had to face reality and consider livelihood issues, including food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

Wang Xuan was lost in thought. A year later, the Super Material had completely disappeared. What kind of life would those immortals lead? Would they run companies or work for others? Compared to the past, Morning in the North Sea, Evening in Cangwu, the difference would definitely be enormous.

This time, Wang Xuan still didn't buy his own ticket. He asked Qian An, Guan Lin, and others to help him change his identity so he could head to his Old Earth.

Su City, there is the fifth largest spaceship base on the New Star. It is very convenient to set sail from here to the Old Earth.

From a distance, it appears as a steel jungle, complete with massive spaceships, a powerful defense system, and a giant waiting hall.

The area has excellent security and service facilities, with robots and smart luggage carts readily available.

Whether it's New Star or Old Earth, there have been torrential rains in various places recently, with blood-red lightning intertwined. The celestial phenomena are too abnormal, and even fewer people are going out.

The spaceship was quiet, with few passengers. Behind Wang Xuan was a family of three: the parents were in their early thirties, and their daughter looked to be seven or eight years old, beautiful and adorable.

"We're finally going back to our Old Earth! We can see Grandpa and Grandma again!" The little girl was very lively and full of anticipation for the journey.

"There's no place like home. I'm planning to go back and invest there," a middle-aged man said with a smile.

On the spaceship, there were many people from the Old Earth who, after working hard on the New Star, were preparing to return to their hometown.

An elderly couple, very old, with kind faces, the old lady whispered, "Fallen leaves return to their roots. After returning this time, we'll stay permanently."

"Yes, we're not leaving. We'll stay in this Old Earth." The old man smiled, stroking the old woman's hand, already dreaming of rural life.

Wang Xuan sat there calmly, waiting to set sail, no longer feeling the novelty he had when he first boarded a ship to cross the starry sky in his Old Earth.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard the Star Alliance member, Neutral Deep Space Company..."

Is this the Zhong family's business? The businesses of conglomerates are everywhere, touching every aspect of life.

Wang Xuan now has blond hair, a different face, wears special irises, and has a completely different temperament from before, appearing somewhat cold.

Finally, the spaceship soared into the sky, heading towards outer space, and began to accelerate.

Suddenly, Wang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine, as if his whole body was about to split open. His expression changed instantly. This spaceship... was going to be in trouble!

Should they turn back? He believed it was too late!

He had a feeling that there was a high probability that High-Energy Weapon had locked onto the spaceship and was about to shoot it down in mid-air.

"Terrorist attack! Someone wants to destroy the spaceship!" Wang Xuan immediately used his mental domain to transmit this warning directly to the captain and the others.

And a small, dark Golden Small Boat appeared in his hand, ready to fight his way out.

It must be said that the old captain reacted with lightning speed. While everyone else was stunned and unable to determine whether it was true or false, he ordered the energy shield to be activated and pressed the main control button.

He preferred to believe it was true and ensure the spaceship's safety first. Most importantly, he immediately realized that the voice was coming from within his mind; a superhuman was issuing a warning.

Boom!

Almost simultaneously after the energy shield appeared, a terrifying beam of light struck the light screen, causing the entire spaceship to tremble violently.

Everyone was shocked. This was in the air above New Star, not even far from the ground, and they had already been attacked by terrorists? This was terrifying, so blatant!

In recent years, the New Star has been relatively peaceful. Although there have been occasional small private spaceships crashing due to accidents, there have been no serious incidents of attacks on large spaceships for many years.

This has a huge impact!

Some people are now so insane that they are bombarding spaceships!

Inside the cabin, people were panicked, their faces pale. How could such a thing have happened?

"Boom!"

A second, violent impact occurred, but the energy shield outside the spaceship formed a light barrier that blocked the second attack. The light from the massive explosion was terrifying.

The people on board were utterly terrified, screaming and crying, accompanied by the cries of children. This was not an accident; they had truly encountered a terrible attack.

Who wouldn't be afraid of something like this?

Soon, the energy shield could no longer hold. The enemy's firepower was too astonishing. In just a few more moments, they would break through the energy barrier!

Blinding beams of light shot in from different directions, all striking the light barrier outside the ship, which gradually became unable to withstand the force.

"Get into the lifeboats and prepare to escape!" The old captain remained calm in the face of danger.

At this moment, Wang Xuan also found him and asked him to open the hatch and let him out... to draw fire.

Wang Xuan felt that these Energy Beam were probably aimed at him, and for some reason the news had leaked out, and someone wanted to kill him high in the sky.

However, the other party's methods were far too ruthless, disregarding the lives of the other people on the spaceship, which was extremely vicious.

The captain acted decisively and granted his request.

The dark gold boat shot out and hovered high in the sky, leaving the area where the spaceship was. Wang Xuan stared at the distant sky and suddenly felt a tearing pain all over his body. He had been targeted!

He piloted the Flying Boat, changing direction, moving at lightning speed through the sky like a bolt of lightning.

In the distance, the spaceship's shield dimmed, and some escape pods rushed out, fleeing towards the land of the New Star.

Boom!

Unexpectedly, some of the escape pods exploded, pierced by beams of light, resulting in a horrific scene.

"This is outrageous!" Wang Xuan looked back and felt that the person who made the move had no bottom line, and was actually killing innocent people and attacking ordinary people indiscriminately.

He didn't retreat. The Flying Boat was glowing brightly, very conspicuous, just to attract those people to kill him. In the end, some life pods still exploded.

A terrifying beam of light flew past the Flying Boat, nearly hitting him!

Thump!

In the distance, a violent explosion was heard. The spaceship had been pierced through, with a large chunk torn off. It was in modular form, and the captain had voluntarily abandoned the left aft compartment.

"Stop attacking the spaceship, that person is on the glowing Flying Boat." In the distance, inside a warship, someone suggested in a trembling voice; those attacks just now were too bloody.

The life pod exploded, the spaceship broke apart, and blood and life were lost in both.

"No rush, let me test just how powerful the weapons of this era really are. Not bad, if you were to hit me, even my physical body couldn't withstand it."

Inside the warship, Dao Blood figure, wrapped in a bone fragment, spoke with utter indifference and ruthlessness, "You are following orders; just cooperate with me!"

More life pods exploded, but more were thrown to the ground and scattered as people escaped.

At this moment, the main body of the spacecraft was attacked and broke apart again. Not everyone escaped to the ground in the escape pods; some people remained stranded.

Wang Xuan was attacked repeatedly, and once he was unable to dodge the attack. The beam grazed the stern of the ship, causing the Super Material there to boil. The ship's light screen expanded, and it withstood the attack.

He discovered that three medium-sized warships were firing at long range, showing no humanity, piercing through the spaceship, destroying four escape pods, and indiscriminately killing innocent people.

"That Flying Boat is extraordinary; it can block the Energy Beam of warships. It is actually a legendary top-tier treasure. If we activate more layers of Flying Boat runes, that thing will become even more miraculous and amazing."

Inside a warship, a spiritual entity spoke, revealing a cold and stern expression, coveting Wang Xuan's dark gold Flying Boat.

"Be gentle, take him down while trying to save the Flying Boat!" someone said.

Beams of light intertwined around Wang Xuan as three small warships relentlessly bombarded him.

Undeterred by the fact that the New Star did not allow the easy use of warships, they acted with impunity, committing atrocities in the air.

"Take care of him quickly to avoid interference or obstruction!" Dao Blood figure spoke from one of the warships, his heart part a piece of real bone, wrapped in many blood vessels.

Wang Xuan's chest heaved as he suppressed his rage. Those people were arrogant and domineering, openly attacking and massacring ordinary people, completely disregarding the Rules of the New Star organization.

Clearly, someone has been watching him closely lately. Even though he used all his connections and changed his identity, his whereabouts were still discovered, preventing him from returning to his Old Earth to revive the Sword Immortal and trying to kill him!

Thump!

Another beam of light flew in, Wang Xuan dodged it by piloting his Flying Boat. He held Small Gourd in his hand and slammed the bottom of the gourd down, instantly unleashing a burst of Super Material brilliance that collided with the Energy Beam, causing a massive explosion in the sky!

With a whoosh, Wang Xuan sped away, catching up with the falling spaceship. A few people were still trapped inside, and there weren't enough life pods left.

He didn't have that much supernatural power, and time didn't allow him to go in and search the entire area. In the instant the Flying Boat rushed past, he pulled the few desperate people he could find from the cabin into the Flying Boat.

The spaceship plummeted, Wang Xuan disappeared into the distance, and three warships pursued and bombarded him.

Furthermore, another warship opened fire on the already crashing spaceship, causing it to explode completely with a bang, turning into a huge ball of energy.

Wang Xuan turned around abruptly, his eyes filled with endless killing intent. These people were insane; they deserved to be torn to pieces. They truly didn't care about human life.

He piloted the Flying Boat, swooping down at high speed, intending to bring the twenty-odd people he had rescued to the ground.

Furthermore, he was quietly preparing to activate some of the weapons that were originally on the Flying Boat, including shields, spears, and flying swords, accompanied by densely packed runes!

Whoosh!

In the sky, a crimson net descended, as if forged from stardust, and enveloped him. The Super Material was so dense that the red net expanded, covering the sky and the earth, trying to trap the Flying Boat.

Holding Small Gourd, Wang Xuan unleashed several terrifying beams of light, shattering the large red net.

"As expected, the Transcendent Immortals are interfering behind the scenes. Have they joined forces with mythology and technology?" Wang Xuan said coldly. Today, things absolutely cannot end well. Even if the other party wants to give up, he will not stop.

The spaceship swooped down, rapidly approaching the ground. In the end, he didn't have the heart to be so ruthless. He had wanted to save some people and draw fire, which is why he was hesitant.

Inside the boat, the little girl trembled, clinging to her parents. The elderly couple from the south held each other's hands, whispering something.

Thump!

The Energy Beam came again and again. Even though Wang Xuan activated the Flying Boat's defenses and its built-in shield, the enormous impact still caused the Flying Boat to roar, vibrate violently, and almost roll over.

If it weren't for the light screen covering them, these people would have fallen off the Flying Boat. Even so, their bodies still slammed against the Flying Boat, and many of them cried out in pain.

Finally, the Flying Boat approached the ground and drew near a city. Wang Xuan quickly sent them off.

However, what I saw was a lot of people with blood on their heads, and the little girl's eyes were full of terror, and her body was trembling.

As for the elderly couple, they were already silent, embracing each other. They were too old to withstand such a turbulence and impact. They had promised to return to their roots, but they could not return to their Old Earth and died here.

With a bang, Wang Xuan shattered the Realistic Human Skin Mask, his face filled with murderous intent. He activated the Flying Boat and prepared to soar into the sky!

"The Immortal Calamity? They have blocked my return to my Old Earth and slaughtered the innocent. Today, I will kill them all!"

I'm trying to break through the cycle of reincarnation again. Don't wait for the late-night chapter; just remember this: three chapters, three reincarnation seals.
