Xu Wuyi and his team arrived in the Sirius Fourth Star Realm, measured the plane’s suppression on their abilities, and established a concealed base. Lin Jue’s early readings suggested Sirius priests were heavily suppressed, and the team began preparing to investigate the nearby mining zones.

• Hong Nianyi ordered the team to conduct reconnaissance that night, with Chen Yuan placing the bomb, Lin Jue collecting data, You Sicheng supporting them, and Xu Wuyi and Hong Nianyi standing by.
