Swallowing the Stars: Analyzing All Things

Dark universe, inside the spaceship's control room.

Outside the bulkhead was an endless ocean of light, with occasional flashes of different lights appearing from afar. The spaceship, like a fish swimming silently in the deep sea, glided through this ocean of light.

The control room was dimly lit, and the space warriors were all relaxed, some with their eyes closed, others chatting quietly.

Lin Yan leaned back in his seat, his gaze wandering aimlessly across the star map. This real-time dynamic star map was one of the conveniences provided by the military system to legion members.

The star map is complex and precise.

Meteorite turbulence zones, energy storm areas, space debris accumulation sites, and several dangerous star regions marked with red dots—each edge is marked with fine text.

Information such as coordinate range, danger level, and recently detected abnormal fluctuations are all recorded synchronously on it.

"drop--"

Suddenly, a crisp notification sound rang out, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

On the command screen, a cold-faced man appeared, his features sharp and angular, his eyes scanning across the screen as if they were directly on everyone.

"Commander Xian!"

Captain Longko stood up abruptly, his back ramrod straight.

Lin Yan and the others immediately put away their casual expressions and stood up from their seats with solemn expressions. On this battlefield outside the region, military orders are as heavy as mountains and cannot tolerate the slightest slackness.

The organization of legions in extraterritorial battlefields differs slightly from that of armies within the universe.

The most basic unit is the combat squad, with about ten people in each squad, led by a captain. Above the captain is the commander, usually a world lord-level powerhouse, who commands ten basic combat squads.

Above the commanders are the immortal military lords.

Commander Xian was the direct superior of Longke's squad, a realm lord who had fought on the Ninth Battlefield for thousands of years.

"Longko".

Commander Xian's voice was deep, "Your squad must immediately proceed to the Fogfall Star Belt and rendezvous with the third and seventh squads."

He spoke succinctly, his gaze sweeping over Lin Yan and the others before he abruptly ended the communication.

"Everyone..."

Longko turned around, his cold and decisive face replacing his gentle expression. He glanced at each team member present and said in a deep voice, "Prepare for battle!"

"yes!"

Inside the control room, the responses were uniform and synchronized.

……

The Fogfall Belt, the edge of the Wind-Departed Starfield.

Before the Fengli Starfield became an extraterrestrial battlefield, it was originally a vast and boundless nebula sea, which was said to span nearly two light-years and contained tens of thousands of star embryos.

The shimmering glow of the sunset drifted endlessly through the depths of the nebula, like a dreamlike realm slumbering in the cradle of the universe.

later……

A team of immortal warriors from the Machine Race arrived.

With almost ruthless efficiency, they deployed twelve star-level splitting matrices at the core of the nebula, while simultaneously detonating tens of thousands of stellar embryos in the late stages of their gestation within the nebula.

The entire nebula was torn apart from the inside.

Countless nebula materials were annihilated into irregular, misty remnants. These remnants were somewhere between solid and semi-fluid, and their surfaces were perpetually shrouded in a strange, milky-white mist.

Since then,

The entire area, nearly two light-years in diameter, is enveloped by countless fog-like debris, some as large as mountains stretching across the land, others as small as drifting dust. Large areas of fog can be encountered almost every fifty million kilometers.

"Foggy meteor belt, atomized debris..."

Lin Yan frowned slightly as he studied the information transmitted from the military system. In many places of the entire Ninth Battlefield, the void was empty, and the enemy could be seen in the distance at a glance.

In this situation, as soon as one realizes that they have encountered someone who is not their match, as long as the gap between the two sides is not too large, they can escape early.

Therefore, many areas are unsuitable for combat.

This foggy meteorite belt is clearly the most suitable place for battle and slaughter.

Those atomized remnants, though seemingly soft as cotton, were in fact incredibly hard. Even if an ordinary realm lord were to unleash their full power in a single strike, they would not be able to completely shatter them.

More importantly, the milky white mist has a strong energy shielding effect. When a detector goes deep into it, the signal is often attenuated by more than half, and the visual range is also compressed.

This means...

Traveling through this star belt, one could run into the enemy at any moment.

……

The silver-white spaceship finally arrived at the Fogfall Belt.

"Buzz~"

With a slight tremor, the spaceship returned to its original universe from the dark universe.

Through the outdoor simulation, the true appearance of the Fogfallen Star Belt slowly unfolds, and Lin Yan and the others can clearly see the distant starry sky—

Countless milky-white, misty debris floated in the void, some as large as mountains stretching across the sky, others as small as dust motes drifting by, their surfaces shrouded in an eerie white mist.

Under the added lighting of the outdoor simulation, these misty remains gleamed with a cold, eerie light, like countless sleeping behemoths crouching and waiting for their prey to arrive.

"The Misty Fallen Star Belt is said to be the place where countless powerful figures have perished. I never expected that our target this time would be this place."

Nanxi chuckled twice, but his tone wasn't relaxed. He turned to Captain Longko, "Captain, has the vanguard team sent any messages yet?"

"Wait a little longer!"

Longko shook his head.

He glanced at the screen on his right wrist brace. His main consciousness was connected to the virtual universe and remained active, but no coordinates of his comrades or allies were displayed within a 10 billion kilometer radius.

Virtual universe network.

Contacting superiors, calculating military merits, and viewing real-time dynamic star charts are all secondary functions.

It has two main functions on the battlefield outside the region. One is to display the coordinates of allies and comrades. Although the range is only 10 billion kilometers, it can call for help in emergencies within a range of tens of billions of kilometers.

The spacecraft continued to move forward.

Outside the porthole, the view of the fog meteorite belt remained unchanged, but the invisible malevolent aura grew stronger, as if it seeped through the outer wall of the spaceship and pressed down on everyone's hearts.

Lin Yan glanced down at the watch screen.

It's empty.

Within a range of one billion kilometers, there was no light, no comrades, no allies, only a cold, undetectable blind spot.

"stop."

Suddenly, as the spaceship reached a relatively open area, Captain Longko's voice rang out inside the cabin.

"Change direction, slow down and head towards Zone B6!"

The spaceship decelerated rapidly, its hull shuddered slightly, and it nimbly changed direction, heading towards Sector B6.

"Captain, has the vanguard team arrived?"

Lin Yan asked, pulling up a detailed star map of area B6, which was a relatively sparsely populated area with complex terrain and a large number of naturally formed shelters and passages.

This area is suitable for concealed gathering.

"They've arrived!" Longko paused, a slight smile playing on his lips. "The main force of the legion is following behind."

The words fell.

The atmosphere in the control room immediately became much more relaxed.

In such a dangerous area, it's much safer to stick with the main legion than to be a lone combat squad.
