On the blue planet, with the help of the space anchor, Chen Yiming appeared at the center of the blue planet.

He waved his hand, and three foundation bases and three world cores appeared in front of him. These were the bodies of the dead star spirits.

“After the star spirits were killed, the three foundation bases were scattered again. I wonder if the five foundation bases can be automatically reformed.”

Chen Yiming glanced at the three foundation bases and quickly turned to the three strange stones that represented the cores of the worlds.

The reason why he did not immediately return to the spaceships in orbit around Mars and settle down the cores of the worlds he had obtained was because he planned to bury a complete world core on the blue planet.

The humans on the old blue planet were still humans.

Perhaps in the future, as the new planet developed, the culture, society, and system of the two sides would go in different directions and gradually become separated.

However, as long as the path of cultivation was not cut off, there was still hope for the humans on the old planet.

For example, for Chen Yiming, if the blue planet couldn’t provide the conditions for cultivation, he would not have been able to rely on the system to reach the level where he could go to the universe up till he died of old age.

Soon, he chose a strange stone at random which had many vortex-like patterns on it.

“It’s you. Regardless of whether a star spirit can be born again, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to barely maintain an environment suitable for cultivation.”

As the body of a star spirit, its power was naturally incomparable to when it was still alive. It was unable to absorb a large amount of essence energy from the mysterious place.

However, it could still slowly absorb and convert the various energies in the air into essence energy. The difference in speed was like the difference between heaven and earth.

On second thought, “It doesn’t seem like a bad thing in the era of low-level martial arts. It’s a sin to have a treasure when you are weak. It’s very difficult for the humans left behind on the blue planet to give birth to enough powerful people in a short period of time.”

“If the humans heading to the new planet can establish themselves in the universe, it won’t be difficult for them to take care of the old blue planet later.”

“If I leave behind something that is too good and has too high a value now, it will harm the people who stay behind instead.”

After thinking it through, Chen Yiming reached out into space. The strange stone he had picked fell into the lava with a splash.

“The female spirit can use the body of the star spirit to create the foundation for the formation, while I can only let it fend for itself.”

There was a sigh.

“In the end, the blue planet is too primitive. The pinnacle of martial arts here was at the martial master realm. There’s not much previous experience to refer to. Otherwise, it could be used better.”

Then, a mutter echoed through the lava.

In the next moment, the figure had already disappeared.

In the orbit around Mars, numerous spaceships were docked at the temporary space port.

Time was tight. After burying a strange stone that was the body of a star spirit, Chen Yiming appeared in the spaceship that was painted with the flag of the Daxia Kingdom.

Soon, the heads of the various countries boarded small transport spaceships and gathered in the Daxia Kingdom’s spaceships. There were also more than 10 aerospace experts.

In the meeting room, Chen Yiming spread out the star map he had obtained on the large round table and explained, “This is the map of the universe that I obtained from the three people related to the black tide.”

The star map had been given to him by the female spirit through the treasure tree. Chen Yiming had no intention of explaining this.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the meeting room, including the aerospace experts, gasped.

The star map was too valuable to humans.

Humans’ understanding of the universe was from a macroscopic view. The actual situation in the distant galaxy was not something that the current methods could detect.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yiming had repelled the black tide’s counterattack and obtained another unimaginable reward.

“That’s great. With the star map, there’s no problem finding a new planet.”

The atmosphere in the meeting room immediately relaxed, and many people became optimistic.

“That’s right. Although we still need to study it carefully, with the real map of the universe, it’s much more accurate than what we have discovered with our current immature technology.”

The voices of agreement rang out continuously.

Although they had yet to confirm its authenticity, no one would deny the value of this star map.

The black tide was definitely the stronger side. The possibility of obtaining a star map from the people related to it was very low.

At this moment, the dozen or so aerospace experts could not be bothered to be polite. Their gazes were fixed on the star map.

This star map looked like it was tailor-made for humans.

The blue planet was located in the lower right corner of the star map. The five worlds on the other side of the space-travel passage were located in the area near the upper right corner.

In the middle were densely packed stars of different sizes. With the naked eye, one could roughly judge that this map of the universe contained at least 10 to 20 galaxies.

“Are those stars marked with green dots representing planets that can support life?”

someone asked, seeming to be in disbelief that there were so many candidate planets.

From the star map, there were at least thousands of such planets, if not tens of thousands of them. Planets that could support life did not seem to be rare in the universe.

Chen Yiming coughed and replied, “We can verify the authenticity of the contents of the star map along the way. There’s no hurry.”

“However, on the other side of the space-travel passage, in a few days, a week, or half a month, new enemies will soon descend.”

“After roughly determining the direction we should go in, it’s time to set off.”

The heads of the countries nodded when they heard this.

That made sense. It was time to set off.

Although they didn’t know who the new enemy Chen Yiming was referring to was, it was fine as long as they knew that it was an enemy.

When the humans obtained treasure from a fallen enemy, they had to be prepared to be chased down and killed for it.

This was inevitable. Conflicts and wars would only be resolved if one side was completely defeated or wiped out.

Soon, everyone’s gazes returned to the star map.

From the star map, humans had three directions to choose from. One was to go to the lower left corner, the second was to go to the upper right corner, and the third was to go to the center.

Among them, the center had the most planets with the highest density, far exceeding the area near the four corners.

“The blue planet is in the lower right corner, and the world on the other side of the space-travel passage is in the upper right corner. It was invaded by the black tide. Could it be that the upper left and lower left corners were also invaded by the black tide?”

In the quiet meeting room, the aerospace experts immediately voiced their opinions.

This opinion was not baseless. From the distribution of the stars in the star map, the number and density of stars near the four corners were about the same.

“If there are many higher-level cultivation worlds in the middle, it’s indeed possible for the black tide to invade from the four weaker corners.”

Soon, an expert raised his opinion.

In the meeting room, many people nodded. This seemed to be correct in theory.

Chen Yiming recalled the three blue-skinned humans who were involved with the black tide and said,

“In the world on the other side of the space-travel passage, the people who had a conflict with me were involved with the black tide. It’s very likely that they came from the middle of the star map.”

“Of course, we can’t rule out the possibility that they came from a galaxy not depicted in this map.”

At that time, because the blockade of the dark forest world still existed, humans could not observe the battle.

Now that Chen Yiming had said it himself, everyone’s hearts tightened.

The planets in the middle were the densest, but it might not be a good place to go. They might barge into the other party’s territory without knowing it.

“How should we choose?”

Some of the heads of the countries were confused.

From the star map and related information, there seemed to be traces of the black tide everywhere. What was the difference between this and staying on the blue planet?

Chen Yiming didn’t reply.

In his heart, he was more inclined to go to the center. No matter how much the black tide had invaded there, he would deal with it after they first made contact with the real universe.

After all, he had formed a grudge with the star alliance, but that did not mean that other humans had formed a grudge with the star alliance.

He could even move around outside as two people. His main body had many enemies, but he also had spatial abilities and could behave as though he was not related to the other humans.

The spiritual figure could take on the role of the strongest human and be in charge of communicating with the outside world and trying to understand more general knowledge about the universe so that they could indirectly integrate into it.

Just as the meeting room fell silent, an expert suddenly exclaimed, “No way. I saw a dragon on the star map!”

Everyone was woken up from their thoughts and turned to look for the dragon on the star map.

“Where?”

“They’re all disorderly stars. Where is the dragon?”

Surprised cries rang out.

The others did not see any dragons on the star map.

Chen Yiming raised an eyebrow as his thoughts raced.

Combining them one after another in his mind, he could really see the figure of a dragon in the star map.

Soon, the expert projected an image of the star map. Then, he used a marker to indicate the positions on the image one by one.

The planets he had indicated were not the largest, but the small- and medium-sized ones.

When these planets were connected, under the emphasis of the marks, the surrounding stars that were interfering with their concealment were dispelled like a fog, revealing a dragon hidden in the star map.

The dragon seemed to be sleeping, as if it was already dead.

“So there’s really a dragon hidden here.”

“With so many stars gathered in the middle, it must be no small matter.”

“I think this is a good opportunity for the humans to join in.”

“That’s right. The four corners of the star map are relatively remote, and there are very few stars. If we go to the middle area where the dragon is hiding, at least we won’t be alone anymore.”

After confirming that there was really a dragon hiding in the star map, the meeting room became noisy. They all expressed their thoughts and brainstormed several ideas.

On the blue planet, whether it was the eastern world or the western world, dragons represented a very powerful legendary creature.

Furthermore, from the other side of the space-travel passage, the three dragons that had reached the level of gods had become subordinates of the humans.

Chen Yiming spoke next.

He felt that the center of the star map was undoubtedly the better choice. At the very least, they could come into contact with the higher-level cultivation world first.

At that time, they could make a choice based on the situation and adjust their direction at any time.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the human spaceships to return.

Spaceships filled with the black substance left behind by the black tide’s war weapon came out of the space-travel passages one after another.

This was the first expedition for the human spaceship fleet since the spaceships were built, and it was an expedition across a very long distance.

The process was very smooth. Other than firing a few cannons for experimental purposes, they were used as transport spaceships the entire time. Most of their work was just transporting and organizing the goods.

In addition, a large group of subsidiary species had returned along with them. This made the humans’ forces stronger than ever.

“Is this still the space plan?”

On the blue planet, someone walked out of his house and was dumbfounded.

In the past, when faced with the threat of the black tide, the humans who had fallen into panic had thought of the space plan. This was an escape route for their race.

However, at this moment, the meaning behind it seemed to have changed.

Such a powerful team did not look like they were escaping at all. They were clearly going to go on an expedition to a new planet to establish a territory more suitable for human development.

The spaceship team did not stop on the blue planet. Instead, they headed straight to Mars.

A new enemy was about to arrive. After the human forces gathered, they would set off on the same day, and they did not have much time to rest.

“So many terrifying creatures!”

Someone saw the huge figures in the air and recalled the figures of the bone beast and the giant on the warhorse. That was a terrifying night when all of humanity was almost sacrificed.

Thinking back on it, it was still vivid in his mind.

It was clear that to humans, terrifying creatures were already very powerful existences.

However, in front of him, a large number of such creatures had appeared. There were not just a few, or dozens of them. There were hundreds of them escorting the human spaceships.

Soon, the humans on the blue planet gathered for a discussion.

The scene in front of them was beyond many people’s expectations. It seemed that the risk of going to the new planet had decreased greatly, and some people were a little shaken.

However, before the discussion could come to a conclusion, a few hours later, the human spaceships had completed their formation and were sailing into the unknown deep space.

Now, there was nothing to feel conflicted about. The human troops were already on their way to the new planet. It was impossible for them to turn around and return for a small number of people.

At the same time. in the space on the other side of the space-travel passage on the blue planet, Chen Yiming sat cross-legged in the air alone.

In his super perceptive state, he sensed the space ripples that were like a radar. The interval between them was much shorter than the last time, which meant that the enemy was now one step closer.

The good news was that it was not easy to use a special stone platform to open up a long-distance space-travel passage like the three blue-skinned humans who were involved with the black tide.

In fact, the enemy related to the star spirits this time might not be able to reach this galaxy before the space-travel passages disappeared.

He could choose to secretly use the coordinates of the space anchor on the figure in his mind to return to the human spaceship fleet, or he could test the waters before leaving.

At the moment, the initiative had shifted to Chen Yiming. He could choose to fight or retreat at any time.

At some point, the spiritual figure sent over the news that the human spaceship fleet had set off.

Chen Yiming’s gaze stopped on the space ripples that were moving forward like waves.

“In the vast space, it’s definitely not easy to locate the team of human spaceships out of nowhere, unless you leave behind a way to locate them in advance.”

“And humans have never interacted with the other party, so it’s impossible for them to determine their location.”

An idea to break out of the passive situation immediately surfaced in his mind.

“If the enemy doesn’t arrive as scheduled before the space-travel passages disappear, we might be able to take the initiative to counterattack along the radar-like spatial ripples emitted by the other party.”

“The special space ability should have been observed by the world’s will in the dark forest world long ago, but the enemy that is about to arrive still dares to use space-related methods to locate it.”

Chen Yiming suspected that either the other party was extremely confident in his strength, or there was a problem with the long-distance communication between the star spirits.

It was not as powerful as his connection with the spiritual figure, which could transmit a large amount of information in real time.

If he had a special spatial ability that was not known to the enemy this time, he would not need to care about anything else.

Time passed day by day.

At a certain moment, the speed at which the space-travel passages on the blue planet automatically closed suddenly increased.

This made the humans left on the blue planet cheer. The sadness and regret they felt when they chose to give up on going to the new planet was immediately mostly washed away.

Some people liked to take risks, some pursued the path of martial arts, and some were willing to lead ordinary and stable lives.

Most of the humans who stayed behind on the blue planet were the third type. They prioritized normalcy and stability.

However, when the human spaceship fleet headed to the new planet, the concept of countries no longer existed on the blue planet. Most of the land was uninhabited.

Some people who cared about power were already secretly gathering people and consolidating their territory. They were just short of openly establishing themselves as a faction.

However, in a short period of time, any turf wars would definitely not be intense.

The main reason was that the population was too small. There were only a few million people in total, and they were from various countries. They were basically scattered around the world according to their hometowns.

However, new countries and a different human civilization would eventually be born on the blue planet.

This process, without the interference of powerful external enemies, might take a few years, decades, or even hundreds of years.

At the same time, the human spaceship fleet had already passed by Pluto.

The three dragon gods and more than 100 terrifying creatures were moving in the same direction as the spaceship fleet. After accelerating to an extremely high speed, they used their inertia to move through space.

Some entered a deep sleep, some entered a cultivation state, and some remained awake.

Two planets on the star map that looked very close together were actually very far apart, and the distance was in light years. The journey was long and boring.

Therefore, before setting off, the dragon gods and the terrifying creatures had discussed it with each other. They would take turns to stay awake and protect the spaceship fleet.

Inside the spaceships, the hibernation technology that humans had developed on their own was also being activated in an orderly manner.

This was to ensure that all the ordinary people who followed them to the new planet could also live to reach the distant new planet in the future and not die of old age along the way.

At this moment, the equipment had already been installed in each household. The robots controlled by the central system instructed each household to follow the instructions and enter a hibernation state in an orderly manner.

The billions of people were divided into 10 batches. Nine batches would enter hibernation, while the remaining 10% would be moving around and working normally in the spaceships.

In the Chen family house, Father Chen, Mother Chen, Chen Yingying, and the pregnant Wu Di were temporarily not among the people who were hibernating. They were part of the batch that could move about freely.

Chen Yiming had specially arranged this. He was confident that the speed at which his family’s cultivation broke through would completely exceed the speed at which they were aging.
