Aboard the Gonggong, in the command room.

"Captain, we've detected signs of large-scale, violent stellar activity in the space near the Heavenly Dao Galaxy!"

"Something's suspicious. According to the intelligence provided by the Federation Strategic Command Center before we left the Milky Way, the Lieyang Civilization is capable of manipulating stellar energy."

"Because of the Anomalous Spacetime Effect, our ship's detection systems have also suffered severe interference. We can't accurately determine the other civilization's strategic intentions..."

"Doesn't matter. Attack directly!" the captain said with a cold snort, his tone resolute.

"Destroy them. Let those alien scum die first!"

The Anomalous Spacetime Effect, along with the inexplicable super-gravitational source accompanying it, was simply too alarming.

If anything went wrong, even their Sky Burning Divine Weapon could be lost in this unfamiliar galaxy.

It was hardly surprising that the captain of the Gonggong had become irritable.

He had only just been promoted to captain of this Sky Burning Divine Weapon, and now he might lead the entire crew to their deaths in this star system.

And now the Lieyang Civilization dared to put on a show in front of them. They were practically asking to die!

Whatever the outcome, those alien scum from the Lieyang Civilization were going to die before they did!

"General, the one thousand transport ships carrying Lieyang citizens have already moved away from the Heavenly Dao Galaxy..."

"But because the Hou Shen Galaxy has been sealed off, these ships can't use Wormhole Jump to quickly leave the Heavenly Dao Galaxy. They can only split into several groups and flee toward other regions of the Hou Shen Galaxy..."

Aboard the Cloud Heaven Court.

Crimson Phoenix Sky Protector Wu Zhao clenched her teeth. Her face looked somewhat haggard, but her gaze was exceptionally resolute.

"To keep these transport ships from being detected, we used the Heavenly Dao Pagoda to manipulate the nearby stars and conceal them, with Lord Di Hongkun's help."

"The Human Federation definitely won't notice..."

Pan Zhen was fully armed, standing on the Cloud Heaven Court as if facing a formidable enemy. The Lieyang Warriors beside him stood in ranks, holding their breath.

More than ten thousand Lieyang warships surrounded the Cloud Heaven Court. This was the entirety of their civilization's strength.

There was no need for further discussion. They knew exactly what they were doing.

From here on, they would live or die alongside the remaining citizens of Lieyang Planet. They would fight the invading Human Federation to the death, buying time for the thousand transport ships carrying the seeds of their civilization to escape.

At this most perilous moment for their civilization, the highest rulers of the Lieyang Civilization, including Pan Zhen, had finally managed to think clearly for once.

Those thousand transport ships carrying the last hope of the Lieyang Civilization were the seeds they wanted to protect at all costs.

They just didn't know whether it would do any good...

Pan Zhen drew a deep breath, his gaze sharp. "Lieyang Fleet, advan—"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Before Pan Zhen could finish issuing the grand command for the entire fleet to attack, the Gonggong once again roared like an enraged ancient deity, unleashing its fearsome fury.

An impossibly fast strike arrived in an instant.

The formation of more than ten thousand Lieyang warships immediately burst apart like an anthill blasted by firecrackers, torn to pieces without mercy!

The once-dense, imposing formation was instantly wracked by a horrific chain of explosions.

In a single exchange, nearly five thousand Lieyang warships of various sizes were struck indiscriminately and destroyed on the spot.

The Gonggong was like an unreasonable giant, crushing its way forward with overwhelming power.

Before it, every Lieyang warship was nothing. Even the so-called celestial warship, the Cloud Heaven Court, was no more than an ant to be crushed underfoot.

"Activate Heavenly Condemnation Bombardment!"

"Rouse the solar winds and provide cover!"

"Power up the Heavenly Dao Pagoda. Draw on the nearby stars' energy and bombard them with continuous solar flares!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In a direct exchange of ship-to-ship firepower, the Lieyang Civilization's warships stood no chance against the Gonggong.

One ship faced ten thousand, and it still seemed to have power to spare.

The Lieyang Civilization had no choice but to use its trump card—

Stellar Energy!

Terrifying solar flares rained down densely and relentlessly, engulfing the entire Gonggong.

They had thought this would severely damage the terrifying vessel, but what happened next sent a chill through them.

Aboard the Cloud Heaven Court, Pan Zhen watched with his own eyes as the Federation's enormous warship endured the terrifying solar flares and continued toward the star at the heart of the Heavenly Dao Galaxy, completely unscathed.

The Lieyang warships along its route had long since been ripped apart by enemy fire and reduced to cosmic dust. But the enemy's shields had risen, and its armor looked as good as new. The earlier solar flares had failed to damage it at all!

Pan Zhen's gaze turned cold. His once-sturdy frame crumpled as he fell to his knees.

How could they keep fighting this war?

The enemy's warship had withstood even such a terrifying solar-flare bombardment. Was there any point in continuing to fight such an enemy?

But as he watched countless Lieyang warships being slaughtered, Pan Zhen's fury ignited completely. He decided to use his final move.

"New novels are first published at..."

"Heavenly Dao Pagoda!"

"Increase the rate of Stellar Energy extraction. Initiate a supernova explosion!"

"Let that enemy ship be buried with our Heavenly Dao Galaxy!"

Boom!

A scarlet superluminal cannon blast struck without warning, and the Cloud Heaven Court immediately shattered into pieces.

From the half of Lieyang Planet that remained, a brilliant radiance surged into the sky as the terrifying energy of the star poured out.

This massive star, which should have had tens of billions of years left, had reached the end of its life. A terrifying supernova explosion was about to erupt.

The Gonggong had almost no chance to evade it.

Aboard the ship, the Gonggong's captain and crew looked on with disdain.

That was it? They'd thought those alien scum might offer them some kind of surprise.

Boom!

The supernova erupted, and terrifying spatial chain reactions rippled outward, bringing destruction to every celestial body in the entire star system.

None of the Lieyang warships, nor Lieyang Planet itself, could escape the blast radius. The Gonggong was caught in it too.

But astonishingly, the supernova explosion—which should have lasted for some time—ended very quickly.

The star rapidly collapsed into a singularity, forming a new black hole that began to absorb the system's remaining matter.

Throughout this entire process, the Gonggong remained completely still and unscathed.

In the instant the supernova erupted, they had also extracted all the Dark Matter in the Heavenly Dao Galaxy. That was why the black hole had formed so quickly.

To them, this was a supply of Dark Matter that had practically delivered itself to them, without their even needing to activate the Star Blaster in their Sky Burning Divine Weapon.

The Lieyang Civilization was destroyed.

But the Gonggong's voyage was not over. It received another Subspace Echo, and this time, they successfully decoded its encrypted message through Psionic communication.

"Bzzzt—"

A familiar communication image flickered onto the screen. The captain frowned, then showed an expression of disbelief he hadn't displayed once throughout the entire battle against the Lieyang Civilization.

"Void Demons, Presolin Zerg?!"
