Hua Country had gone to great lengths to select soldiers with simple social ties.
After all, soldiers stationed with the military might go years without seeing their families, but they could still keep in touch. Once they went to the Xuanyuan Star System, that would be much harder. The more complicated their family circumstances, the harder it would be.
They could hardly take their entire families along. Didn't their relatives have jobs? School? Businesses? Complicated social ties? Pulling them straight out of society would create no end of trouble.
So the soldiers selected for the Sixth Heavenly Army had to have relatively simple social ties. That didn't mean they all had to be orphans.
In short, as long as their families weren't constantly looking for them, it would do. The army wasn't going to Ziwei Country forever.
They were going to become Interstellar Citizens, not laborers. Most of the labor would be handled by artificial races such as the Little Grey.
Interstellar Citizens enjoyed plenty of freedom, and Earth was a tourist destination. Once they earned some money, they could take the express route back to the Earth Wild Race Protection Zone, buy a ticket, and visit their families.
Huang Ji and Lin Li did not fly to Kunlun. Instead, they headed straight up. At an altitude of twenty-five thousand meters, they entered the Saint Ship.
Nai Di had already brought the Saint Ship above Hua Country. It was enormous—large enough, in theory, to blot out the sun.
Yet it did not. The Saint Ship could control the weather and activate optical camouflage.
It could even cancel out gravity.
Canceling a gravitational field was one application of antigravity technology, and a highly versatile one, mainly used for concealment.
Halogen's safe house had stood at the edge of the star system
