The developments that followed were just as Lin Feng had expected.
In the Purple Cloud Star System, Ximo personally took action and quickly wiped out all the players there.

But under Ximo's search, there was nowhere left to hide. They were all killed.
Lin Feng didn't intervene to stop Ximo's slaughter.
He knew his limits. As things stood, he was no match for Ximo.
Once all the players in the Purple Cloud Star System had been killed, the Teleportation Arrays on its seven habitable planets stopped working completely. Lin Feng had lost all control of the star system.
Not long after the Purple Cloud Star System fell, the Asura Race crushed the players on the other nine battlefronts, and they were forced into retreat.
Events unfolded exactly as Lin Feng had predicted.
Fortunately, he had prepared in advance.
One by one, ships carrying high-level players departed from different Outpost Planets and flew toward star systems with habitable planets throughout the Youhe Star Sector.
This time, Lin Feng chose his targets without following any pattern. He picked them entirely at random.

After all, the Empire of Stars didn't yet have the technology to build superluminal ships. Every ship lost was one less ship they had.
More importantly, he wanted to keep the ships' control cores from
