All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

Just as Ye Fan hesitated and his doubts deepened, Lin Xi seemed to see through his concerns and spoke first, calmly dispelling his worries: "Don't worry, all humans remaining on the warship will undergo rigorous genetic testing."

"Within the fleet, surveillance is everywhere. Every person's movements and destination are closely monitored and traceable throughout the entire process. This is to prevent alien species from disguising themselves and invading, and to eliminate all potential threats."

These words eased Ye Fan's tense nerves slightly. He knew that the Human Alliance was extremely strict in its defenses against alien species, and genetic verification was a basic procedure that would never be overlooked. If Lin Xi had malicious intentions, she would not be able to bypass the layers of monitoring.

Lin Xi's gaze slowly fell on Ye Lingyun, whose eyes were still red-rimmed. Her tone softened, yet carried a hint of certainty: "I know you have the ability to remember everything you see. This special ability has been gradually awakened in people since the early days of the Great Expedition."

"You should also be an Awakened One, with soul power far exceeding that of ordinary people, which is why you possess the talent of photographic memory." She paused, her gaze lingering on Ye Lingyun for a moment, "Similarly, your sister will most likely awaken some kind of special ability, it just hasn't manifested yet."

"People with special abilities like you are a valuable asset to the Human Alliance. All departments of the fleet are vying to recruit you. This is just an investment I'm making in advance to build up talent reserves for the research institute."

Hearing this, Ye Fan's doubts were finally completely resolved. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face as he secretly rejoiced that he hadn't revealed the truth—his photographic memory wasn't an awakening, but rather a result of soul enhancement brought about by his transmigration.

The identity of this time traveler is too special. If it were to be revealed, the consequences would be unimaginable. At best, he would be studied as an alien; at worst, he might be ostracized by the community, and his sister might even be implicated.

He suppressed his thoughts, bowed slightly to Lin Xi, and said sincerely, "Thank you very much. I will help my sister pack her things now. Please take good care of her."

"No need to be so polite. Recruiting talent is one of my duties." Lin Xi nodded gently, a faint smile on her face. "I'll wait for you at the entrance. Once you're ready, we'll head to the research institute's ship."

Lin Xi turned and walked out of the dormitory. Ye Fan immediately squatted down, looked at Ye Lingyun in front of him, and said in a gentle but solemn tone, "Lingyun, we're going to another ship. It's safe there. You wait for your brother there, okay?"

Although Ye Lingyun was still reluctant, she knew that her brother was doing it for her own good. She reached out her small hands and hugged Ye Fan's neck tightly, nodded vigorously, and said in a soft voice with a slight sob, "Okay, I'll listen to you, brother. I'll wait for you to come back. You must be safe, brother."

"Yes, brother promises you, I will definitely come back safely." Ye Fan gently patted her head, his eyes full of tenderness and determination. He quickly got up and began to pack the few pieces of luggage the two of them had—only a few changes of clothes and that old rag doll, which was his sister's most precious possession.

They packed quickly, and a moment later, Ye Fan, holding Ye Lingyun's hand, walked out of the dormitory. Lin Xi was already waiting at the door. The three of them walked together towards the research institute's ship. Along the way, there were busy soldiers and civilians hastily evacuating. The oppressive atmosphere before the war permeated the entire fleet.

Lin Xi led the two through the genetic verification process and boarded the research institute's ship. Although not as large as a destroyer, the ship was equipped with state-of-the-art defense systems and monitoring equipment. Its pure white hull exuded a sense of technology and security. Inside, the researchers were working diligently and methodically, focusing on their research on alien species to support the frontline battles.

"It's safe here. I'll arrange for someone to look after your sister. You can go to your logistics post without worry." Lin Xi handed Ye Lingyun to an assistant beside her and said to Ye Fan, "Come back and pick her up after the war is over."

Ye Fan thanked her again and gave his sister a few more earnest instructions before turning around and leaving the research institute ship. He quickly returned to the logistics department of the third Titan-class destroyer squadron—he was a soldier in the logistics mechanics group, and there was still a lot of preparatory work to be done before the battle, so he couldn't delay.

At this moment, there was less than an hour left before the fleet's space jump. The entire destroyer was already on high alert, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

The logistics department was even busier, with soldiers shuttling back and forth. Some were inspecting weapons and equipment such as powered armor and pulse laser guns, some were allocating ammunition and maintenance supplies, and some were checking the core components of the ship to ensure that there would be no malfunctions during the battle. Everyone had a solemn expression and dared not slack off in the slightest.

Ye Fan quickly returned to his post and immediately threw himself into his work. With his photographic memory and superb repair skills, he quickly inspected the power armor that was about to be put into battle, skillfully troubleshooting faults, replacing damaged parts, and adjusting energy output. His movements were smooth and precise, more efficient than many of his senior colleagues.

"Ye Fan, there's a problem with the energy cores of a few suits of armor here. Can you come and take a look?" a veteran logistics soldier shouted to him urgently.

"Okay! Coming right away!" Ye Fan responded and quickly walked to the suits of armor. He bent down to inspect them and quickly found the problem—the circuit of the energy core was not making proper contact, which prevented the energy from being delivered normally.

Without hesitation, he took out his tools, quickly disassembled the energy pods of the armor, reconnected the wiring, and reinforced the interfaces. In just over ten minutes, he completed the repair work, and the armors were restored to normal and ready for use.

"Good job, lad!" The veteran exclaimed, looking at the repaired armor. "So young, yet with such superb skills. No wonder he's being treated as a key talent."

Ye Fan smiled, said nothing more, and turned back to his work. He knew that every piece of repaired armor and every weapon that was properly tested could become a lifesaver for the soldiers on the front lines and add strength to the fight against the aliens; he had to give it his all.

Time ticked by, and in the blink of an eye, the three-hour preparation period was completely over.

Inside the ship, the cold, mechanical voice rang out again: "Attention all personnel, the fleet is about to initiate a spatial jump. Target coordinates have been locked. Countdown: ten, nine, eight..."

As the countdown began, Ye Fan could clearly feel the ship start to vibrate slightly, the air around him became turbulent, and a powerful pulling force came through, making him unable to help but steady himself and tightly grip the worktable beside him.

On the ship's hull, the energy shield was fully activated, emitting a faint blue light that enveloped the entire vessel. Countless energy lines lit up, like blue veins, continuously supplying the ship's energy to the warp drive.

"Three, two, one, leap in!"

As the notification sound faded, a dazzling blue light burst forth from the bottom of the ship, and the entire Titan-class Third Destroyer Fleet instantly transformed into a streak of light and disappeared from the spot. The remaining Human Alliance fleets also initiated warp drives and followed closely behind, rapidly traversing towards the designated battle coordinates.

The spatial jump was extremely brief, lasting only a moment. When the ship's vibrations subsided and the traction dissipated, everyone knew they had reached the battle coordinates.

Ye Fan stopped his work, walked quickly to the ship's observation window, and looked outside. The scene before him made him shudder.

All around was a vast, boundless yellow nebula. Within the nebula, dust filled the air, and countless yellow particles floated slowly in the void, blocking out some of the light and making the entire space appear as a dim yellow, eerie and oppressive.

At this moment, the entire Human Alliance fleet had arrived at the coordinates and quickly assumed a battle posture—the Titan-class carrier was in the center, with destroyers and frigates arranged on both sides, forming a solid battle formation. On the hull, energy cannons and missile launchers were all activated, aimed at the nebula, ready to fire at any time.

The two sides stood facing each other, the atmosphere instantly turning to freezing point. The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, and a fierce interstellar war was about to break out.

Just then, the ship's communicator suddenly crackled with static, followed by a hoarse and arrogant voice—a message from the Keloan race: "We are the Keloan race of the Star River Federation! Human Federation fleet, withdraw immediately! Are you going to war with the Star River Federation?"

The voice was full of arrogance and threat, as if it was certain that the Human Federation would not dare to easily start a war with the Star River Federation, and that they could use the name of the Star River Federation to scare away the Human Federation's fleet.

Inside the destroyer, all the soldiers who heard the message showed angry expressions and began to curse—these damned aliens, who were affiliated with the Star River Federation, were slaughtering humans at will, and now they even dared to use the name of the Star River Federation to threaten the Human Federation!

Anger flared up again in Ye Fan's eyes. He clenched his fists tightly and shouted in his heart: So what if there's war? Today, these alien species will pay for their blood debts!

The message was simultaneously transmitted to the command center of the Human Alliance Titan-class carrier. In the center of the command center, a woman dressed in a general's uniform stood quietly. She was tall and straight, with a cold and beautiful face and sharp eyes. She exuded a strong aura of authority and was imposing without being angry. She was none other than the Human Alliance's fleet commander, General Su Lan.

After hearing the message from the Keloyan race, a cold, mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips. A hint of undisguised killing intent flashed in her eyes. Her tone was decisive and ruthless, echoing throughout the command center and transmitted to every human alliance ship via the communicator: "Ignore these damned aliens, open fire!"

Without any unnecessary words or hesitation, General Su Lan's order was the attitude of the Human Alliance—never compromise, never back down, and fight the alien race to the death!

As soon as the order was given, the Human Alliance fleet erupted instantly!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Countless energy cannons and missiles, like raindrops, erupted from the Human Alliance's ships, blasting towards the Shelloan race within the nebula with devastating force. Dazzling light illuminated the dim yellow nebula, and deafening roars echoed throughout the galaxy—an interstellar war sweeping across the galaxy had officially begun!

Looking out the observation window at the sky ablaze with artillery fire and dazzling light, Ye Fan's fighting spirit was ignited. He turned and quickly returned to his post, gripping his tools tightly, his eyes resolute—although he was a logistics soldier and unable to fight on the front lines, he would remain steadfast in his post, performing his duties in the maintenance of weapons and equipment, providing the strongest support to his comrades on the front lines, and contributing his own strength to the victory of mankind.

Within the nebula, the Keloyan race was caught off guard. Many of the aliens were instantly hit by the artillery fire, their bodies blasted into pieces, green blood spraying into the void and emitting a pungent stench. However, their numbers were too vast, and they quickly reacted, launching a frenzied counterattack against the Human Alliance fleet.

Laser beams and artillery fire intertwined, ships and alien fleets crisscrossed, flames soared into the sky amidst the yellow nebula, screams, roars, and explosions mingled together, and the fierce battle officially began.
