He turned his head, looked at 001, his eyes filled with weariness and confusion, and asked.

"001, do you think there's still a chance for Earth? The universe is so vast, so vast that it's despair-inducing. Can we really find our way home before the other side reaches Earth?"

001 hovered silently, its core processor running frantically, calculating various probabilities. After a moment, it answered in a voice that was almost cruelly rational.

"In the vast sea of ​​stars, it's like finding a needle in a haystack. Based on the current data models, I don't know either."

"The spatial scale of the universe is measured in billions of light-years. Even if we occupy 300,000 galaxies, we are nothing more than a speck of dust in the desert in the face of the entire universe."

"unless……"

001 paused slightly after speaking.

"Unless, in the future, the technology and strength of the player civilization can experience another leap forward."

"Only when one's strength breaks through to the star cluster level and masters the ultimate technology that allows one to directly traverse star clusters and perform space-folding jumps."

"At that time, the scope and speed of our exploration of the universe will definitely see an unprecedented boost."

"Perhaps by then, the probability of finding the blue planet will increase from infinitely close to zero to a value that is visible to the naked eye."

"Star cluster level".

Xu Tian repeated the word to himself.

He knew very well that one must eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.

Stellar-class systems have only recently become commonplace. To force a breakthrough to cluster-class systems in a short period of time, even with a cheat system, you would still need to purchase modules.

This is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

Now, the only option is the most rudimentary yet most effective method: to lay the net as a carpet.

"Okay, I understand."

Xu Tian's eyes narrowed, and he regained his decisiveness as a commander.

"Since conventional sailing speed is too slow, we will use unconventional methods."

Xu Tian turned to 001 and issued a new strategic deployment.

"001, immediately activate the highest frequency mode of the Ender Box Jump Tactics."

"Have all the maid robots in the guild board those newly launched high-speed reconnaissance warships, and use the boundaries we currently control as the origin to launch umbrella-shaped point-radiation advances in all directions to search for Blue Star."

Xu Tian stretched out his finger and drew a spreading model in mid-air.

"Once a warship reaches an unknown star system location, it immediately places an Ender Box in the void, and then teleports the subsequent players and more maids directly there through space folding."

"Then, let those who were teleported over continue to pilot the new warships and explore further outwards."

"Then place the Ender Box, then teleport again, and repeat this process to rapidly advance into the depths of the universe from multiple directions, like cell division."

A chilling killing intent flashed in Xu Tian's eyes.

"In this rapidly expanding network of exploration, if any alien civilization dares to send troops to block our way, we will open fire and annihilate them."

"If we encounter NPCs who are from the same human race branch as us or in human form, we will bring them back and forcibly recruit them into our camp."

A red light flashed in 001's eyes, indicating confirmation, and it immediately nodded and said.

"Understood, the order has been received. The maid legion under the All Heavens Guild has begun boarding the ship."

With Xu Tian's command, a terrifying scene unfolded at the edge of the 300,000 star systems of the All-Heavens Guild, shattering the worldviews of countless native civilizations.

At the very edge of those deep, dark galaxies.

Thousands upon thousands of high-level android maids dressed in black and white maid outfits, their eyes flashing with a cold blue light, appeared in the vacuum like ghosts.

In their hands, each held a miniature warship that looked like a toy model.

The maids simply placed the warship models in their hands gently into the empty space below, their faces expressionless.

"Buzz!"

With a violent distortion of spatial laws, the model, which was originally only the size of a palm, instantly swelled up in the wind.

In less than two seconds, a series of motherships, each tens of thousands of meters long, with hulls shimmering with dark energy and cannons thick enough to fit a small mountain, appeared like behemoths in the cold starry sky.

The maids then used teleportation to board the bridge.

With the roar of engines, the green antimatter tail flames instantly tore through the void, transforming into deadly streaks of light that frantically probed into the more distant and unknown depths of space.

During this process, whenever the warship sails a certain distance, the maids will drop an Ender Box that emits purple particles along the way.

Subsequently, a continuous stream of players and even more warships would gush out of this small box, about half a meter square, like a spring, radiating outwards exponentially.

Chapter 457 The Peak Has Arrived

After deploying this crazy expansion plan, Xu Tian seemed to remember something and turned to 001 to ask.

"By the way, have all the high-end warship wreckage from alien civilizations that we captured on the battlefield over the past ten days, as well as the technological blueprints we extracted from their home planet's servers, been handed over to the China Guild as I instructed?"

001 replied.

"Yes, Brother Tianxia, ​​all the captured technology tree databases, physical samples, and complete scientific research systems from Level 1 to Level 3 civilizations have been transferred to the Huaxia Guild."

Hearing this answer, Xu Tian felt a little more at ease.

Xu Tian had actually thought about this issue a long time ago.

The universe is so vast. If they are unlucky and can't find the coordinates of Earth, who knows how long it will take.

If the aliens had already arrived on Earth before they found them, all their efforts would have been in vain.

If we really can't find the coordinates of Earth to establish a defensive line, then we can only try to forcibly strengthen Earth's homeland's defense capabilities in the real world.

How to strengthen it?

This method is actually very simple and straightforward.

They directly handed over all the technological achievements of tens of thousands of different civilizations that players had captured in space, those cutting-edge technological data that were hundreds or even thousands of years ahead of humankind, to the Chinese Guild, which had an official background.

Xu Tian's idea was very clear.

Even if Earth's industrial base is weak in the real world, and even if we obtain the blueprints, we cannot quickly build those star-level warships that are tens of thousands of meters long.

However, as long as China's top scientists can use the real insights gained from the game to crack even just one percent of the technology in reality and apply it to some basic anti-aircraft weapons and energy shields.

Only in this way, when real aliens come to our doorstep, will humanity on Earth not be slaughtered like natives with spears facing machine guns.

At least they have some ability to protect themselves and can buy themselves some more time.

This is the last trump card that Xu Tian, ​​as a leader, left for human civilization.

It can be said that in this game universe right now, the two most reckless and ruthless players are the Zhutian Guild and the Huaxia Guild, the only two behemoths that know the inside story.

The Huaxia Guild was naturally very anxious as well.

Those core elites were relentlessly attacking the indigenous civilizations in the starry sky, almost day and night.

They were like a pack of hungry wolves with bloodshot eyes, relentlessly searching for the coordinates of Earth in the universe.

At the same time, they are also frantically collecting countless alien technologies. Every day, a large number of scientific research experts are looking at the data transmitted back from the game and carrying out intensive decryption and learning.

And the situation with the All Heavens Guild goes without saying.

Xu Tian had already issued the death order, and Qin Fengxue, as the vice president, was more aggressive than anyone else in implementing this expansion strategy.

She was naturally afraid that before her legs had healed, her body lying in bed in reality would be vaporized by the aliens' orbital cannon.

Therefore, all the instructions she issued through the guild channel these past few days were the strictest, no-holds-barred orders.

Any player who dares to delay the battle or retreat in an encounter will face extremely severe penalties for deducting guild points.

This oppressive rule has led to confusion among many ordinary players within the Zhutian Guild and on the world channel. They don't know what's wrong with them, why they're making an exploration quest seem like the end of the world is coming.

Despite the doubts, under the lure of millions of gold coins and the pressure from the guild, the Fourth Calamity continued to advance at a frenzied pace that sent shivers down the spines of the universe.

After handling a series of complicated internal affairs of the guild.

Xu Tian felt as if his brain was stuffed with a tangled mess, and the continuous high-intensity mental tension made him feel exhausted from the inside out.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Let's go for a walk."

Xu Tian let out a long breath. He had originally planned to use the laws of space to teleport out and walk around in the starry sky to see the magnificent nebulae and relax.

The moment his foot stepped out of the threshold of the main hall.

"Beep beep beep".

A series of urgent private system communication requests suddenly rang in his ears.

Xu Tian was slightly taken aback. He called up the panel and saw that the name on the caller ID was actually the guild leader of the God of Extinction Guild, Peak.

"Why does this peak-level guy want to see me?"

Xu Tian looked at the name, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Come to think of it, it seems like the two haven't been in contact for a long time.

Since players ventured beyond the map of Eshilia and embarked on a grand journey into space, ushering in the interstellar era.

Aside from some collaborations on warships with Blackie's guild, I've gradually lost touch with other top players who were once legendary on the continent.

After all, everyone is now ruling their own territory in the vast sea of ​​stars, with the distance between them infinitely wide. Unless there is a significant overlap in interests, they rarely engage in such private direct communication and usually just chat in the earliest group chats.

Xu Tian didn't think much of it and directly clicked the video call connection button.

The holographic screen unfolded in front of Xu Tian, ​​displaying the face of the slightly haggard but exceptionally sharp-eyed young man, Dian Feng.

His background is the cabin of a warship in motion, with dazzling interstellar dust flashing by outside.

"Peak, long time no see. What brings you here?"

Xu Tian leaned against the door frame and asked in a calm tone.

On the screen, the peak stared into Xu Tian's eyes, took a deep breath, and seemed to be organizing his thoughts. After a moment, he asked in a deep voice.

"Tianxia, ​​actually, the main reason I came to see you this time was to ask about these recent events."

Peak's brows furrowed tightly, his tone revealing an undisguised seriousness.

"The actions of your Zhutian Guild over the past ten days can only be described as outrageous. And that Huaxia Guild that suddenly emerged from the bottom of the rankings, their style of doing things, their legion-level tactical execution, their actions are really too unusual."

"The more I play, the more terrified I feel. This game is becoming less and less understandable to me, or rather..."
