• Yuan Zhenchuan found that Gaia could receive signals from thirteen civilizations in the Longze Nebula and suggested forming an alliance against the Divine Dragon Empire.

Li Pin studied the Star Martial inheritance Suppressing the Firmament, comparing its stages with Star Refiners and judging his own progress.

• After spending three days absorbing the inheritance, Li Pin took out the Star Core Fragment and began refining it at full speed.

• Yuan Zhenchuan explained that the Divine Dragon Empire had crippled the Jinyao Federation and blockaded the Fire Dragon Empire, while Yan Zun’s strength made the empire a formidable threat.

After half a year of silence from Gaia, Li Pin left Taibai Star and returned to Gaia to learn why the Star Gate had not opened.
