The old man said somewhat uncertainly that the giant structure in front of him was too big, looking like a giant jellyfish.

At the edge of the umbrella, some red glands protrude, swaying and looking from a distance like countless "people" holding hands and making wave-like movements.

Measurements using optical sensors indicate that the umbrella-shaped structure has a diameter of at least 5 km and is covered with a thick layer of chitin. Beneath the umbrella-shaped structure are thick and long tentacles, which are curling up and grabbing some sea monsters, stuffing them into their bodies. Faced with the giant tentacles, the sea monsters' resistance is futile.

As if receiving some kind of command, the remaining transport ships and aircraft on the sea surface all moved toward the giant "jellyfish".

After recovering most of the transport ships and aircraft, the giant jellyfish, swaying its tentacles and enduring the artillery fire from the sentry guards, slowly ascended into the sky, ignoring the attacks from the surrounding rabbits...

The remaining transport ships and starfish civilization spacecraft launched a frenzied, suicidal attack on the rabbit.

The battlefield fell into a strange state for a moment. Faced with the rabbit's attack, the starfish civilization showed no intention of retaliating, especially with the 425mm electromagnetic cannon. One shot caused the giant jellyfish to burst, and then red lines appeared on both sides of the breach, sealing the open breach.

Pengkun-1 CIC.

"Commander-in-Chief, should we... launch an attack on the starfish civilization?"

The commander frowned deeply. At this moment, the starfish civilization's reaction was as if they were fleeing for their lives, trying to escape from this planet.

"I need to ask my superiors... to prepare for the launch of the fusion bomb."

"Yes!"

In the vertical launch system of Pengkun-1, several fusion bombs are in launch preparation.

After both preparations were completed, the commander in charge of the battle stepped forward and picked up the red dedicated telephone line.

"This is Pengkun-1. The battlefield situation is getting out of control. We request instructions from higher command!"

On the other end of the phone, several bigwigs from the rabbit group exchanged glances.

The starfish civilization now wants to escape this planet, and the underlying meaning of not retaliating can be interpreted as: please let us go.

The rabbit now has two choices.

One option is to launch a fusion bomb. A 5km-sized jellyfish may seem large, but it would definitely not be able to withstand the intense heat of an artificial sun. The other option is to release the starfish civilization, but doing so might leave behind hidden dangers.

The choice between survival and destruction for the starfish civilization was placed in the hands of the Chinese.

"My opinion is to destroy the Starfish Civilization mothership with a fusion bomb. We've already started a war with them, and completely annihilating them is the right choice. We should deal with enemies like autumn leaves falling in the wind," a bigwig said sharply, looking at the Starfish Civilization mothership that was rising higher and higher.

"My personal opinion is to let them leave..." another powerful figure said after a moment's thought. "...Firstly, we don't have any deep-seated hatred for the Starfish Civilization; secondly, after they leave Mingrui Star, the entire Abyss Sea will belong to us, so there's really no need to exterminate them..."

"...We don't know if the starfish civilization on Mingrui Star is a visitor from another planet. If it is, and it is a civilization from another planet that has mastered interstellar travel technology, we are currently unable to fight against it. Let's leave each other a way out, so we can meet again in the future."

Both ideas have merit, and neither can convince the other.

"How about this, let's vote. There are seven people here, so the minority will obey..."

Before the old man could finish speaking, there was a knock on the conference room door, and an academician walked in carrying a "Bilibili Mini TV".

"Thank goodness... thank goodness I made it in time!"

The academician placed the small television on the table and breathed a sigh of relief.

"what is this?"

"Neutrino communicator!"

--------------------------------------

The Kingdom of Bel.

An hour into the banquet, Corliss gave a slight bow to express her apology, and then followed Queen Estée to the backstage area to rest.

At this point, the royal banquet began to get down to business. The diplomats, who had already been exchanging glances, gathered in small groups and started probing each other.

Zhou Mingrui hid in a corner of the banquet, glanced in the direction of the Abyss Sea, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind... How is the battle on Reach going?

the other side.

Corliss followed behind former Queen Estée into the deepest part of the castle.

Grandma, what are we doing?

"Coris, you are now queen. It's time to tell you some things..."

As they talked, the two arrived at a secret room. Yuri stopped at the door and acted as a loyal guard.

After entering the room, Queen Estée gestured for Corliss to come forward.

Corliss stood in the center of the room, puzzled, when she saw the jewels on the crown light up and a hidden door open.

"grandmother?!"

Corliss looked at the former Queen Estée with some surprise. She had seen this technology in Shangqiu, but how could the Kingdom of Bell have it?

"Don't worry, the answer is inside. Let's go."

After speaking, former Queen Estée led Corliss into the secret door. Corliss then discovered that the secret door led to an elevator, and the writing on the elevator was not in the common language of the continent.

Former Queen Estée pressed a button, and the elevator silently descended to the ground.

"Coris, do you think a planet can accommodate two intelligent races?"

"Hmm..." Although Corliss didn't know why her grandmother asked that, she thought for a moment and replied, "...It should be fine, as long as there's no conflict of interest."

Upon hearing this, Estée affectionately patted Corliss's head.

“We used to think so too, Corliss. Let me tell you a truth: the goddess's people are the outsiders; we come from the stars…”

Corliss stared in shock, her eyes wide. The goddess's people came from the stars! But why were there no records of this in the historical records of the continent?!

Chapter 79 This is not home

The elevator came to a smooth stop at the bottom floor, but Corliss, still in shock, had not yet recovered.

Having received higher education in Shangqiu, she knew very well what the starry sky was, which meant that all the humans on Mingrui Star were immigrants!

"Come on... I'll show you the biggest secret of the royal family."

Corliss followed former Queen Estée out of the elevator, and the two entered a futuristic-themed passageway.

"Grandma...where is this?"

"The Ark of the Goddess, but most of its power supply was destroyed in the war, leaving only some of its most basic functions," the former Queen Estée said softly. "...That war was too long ago."

"War?" Corliss paused, as if she had thought of something: "Demons of the Abyss Sea?"

"Yes, demons... Of course, demons are just a nickname. They are an aquatic civilization that lives on the seabed. Their biotechnology is very advanced. On the contrary, metal smelting can only be done by solidification. The biological weapons left in the ruins are their creations."

"If they are aquatic creatures, why are we at war with them?" Corliss asked, somewhat puzzled.

Former Queen Estée shook her head: "I don't know exactly what happened because it's been so long since then. Fortunately, we won in the end, but it wasn't easy either. The two sides reached a ceasefire agreement, leaving only a treaty that could be considered an agreement."

"protocol?"

"We let them go...they left the planet on their own."

"Wait... Grandma, those people from Shangqiu?" Corliss seemed to have thought of something.

"They...we get along very well, don't we?" former Queen Estée said with a half-smile.

"Mmm." Corliss nodded vigorously, recalling her life in Shangqiu.

As they spoke, the two entered a huge underground space, where a "Goddess's Treasure" was performing void printing, creating one orthogonal engine after another, which was then transported out.

"This is a secret that our royal family has kept for generations, the most important part of the Goddess Treasure: the anti-gravity device and the data core."

Corliss watched as various-sized orbal engines were manufactured and then transported to the warehouse via conveyor belt.

Suddenly I felt somewhat relieved. Yes... the origin of this anti-gravity technology, the Guiding Force Technology, was already very suspicious. It was a technology that even the people of Shangqiu did not possess.

"Grandma, how should we use the treasure?" Corliss felt as if an infant had suddenly found the nuclear button.

Former Queen Estée gently ruffled Corliss's purple hair and said affectionately:

"The goddess's treasure is a complete set of tools. As for how to use them, that's up to you, Corliss."

--------------------------------------

Deep sea area.

The giant jellyfish flew higher and higher, until it became a small black dot.

Using the neutrino communicator, the rabbit still chose to communicate with the starfish civilization before launch, since the two sides had never communicated before.

[Rabbit: Hey! What's your purpose?]

[Starfish Civilization: Leave, this is not home.]

rabbit:???

......

Suddenly, the bigwigs understood. No wonder the starfish civilization was desperately fighting for air superiority over the target sea area; it turned out they were doing it to retreat.

"Leave. This is not home... I don't know if letting the starfish civilization go was the right or wrong thing to do." A bigwig sighed and muttered to himself.

Final vote result: 4:3...

The minority yielded to the majority, halting the launch of their most powerful weapon, the fusion bomb, and instead watched the starfish civilization depart.

In the combat zone, the rabbit's trump card, a 10,000-ton submarine, surfaced. The captain looked at the jellyfish sailing away with frustration and couldn't help but grin. From beginning to end, they hadn't even launched a single torpedo.

Under the rabbit's watchful eye, the giant jellyfish left the atmosphere, then moved its fluorescent tentacles, which provided an unknown thrust, propelling the jellyfish toward the stars.

"They're gone..."

"Operation is over. Let's tally up the losses."

Just as the bigwigs got up to leave the room, the neutrino communicator lit up again, and two lines of text appeared on the LCD screen:

【Thanks】

[Coordinates: XXX.XXX.XXX]

Earth.

Rabbit's burrow.

The elders looked at the report sent back from Mingrui Star and couldn't help but sigh.

The first contact with an extraterrestrial civilization turned out like this... they actually drove the extraterrestrial civilization away?!
