Soon, the Imperial Guard ship came to a halt at the outer edge of Origin Star's magnificent, imposing halo of laws.
An invisible scanning beam swept over the ship from the planet, exchanging signals with the ship's own multiple layers of encrypted verification.
Immediately, the layered, multicolored halo ahead, seemingly filled with infinite mysteries, parted as if gently pushed aside by an unseen hand, revealing a passage leading inward.
The passage's inner walls were smooth as mirrors, and a gentle stream of light marked the authorized flight path.
"We've passed the outer identity verification."
Nafeng's voice sounded in the command cabin. "Next, we'll enter Origin Star's atmosphere—or, more accurately, its Source Energy Protection and Regulation Layer. Please take your seats. You may feel slight fluctuations from the Source Energy tides; that's normal."
