In the deep and dark Cosmos,

the Black Gate opens,

and a dozen figures stream out.

The zero gravity and oxygen-deprived environment makes it extremely hard for the geniuses to adapt. Although they narrowly escape danger, if the oxygen issue isn't resolved, they still cannot survive.

Bang!

The Black Gate closes, the last figure flies out, and in the next instant, countless black metals unfold on him as if alive, transforming into a black battle armor full of oppressive aura in less than half a second.

This is... Stellar Armor!

Everyone looks at Qin Tian's Black Demon Armor, their hearts shock beyond measure.

Did Black Crow anticipate such a situation, bringing Stellar Armor along?

After the shock comes deep envy. With Stellar Armor, at least Black Crow can survive in space for several days, enough to hold out until rescue arrives.

At this moment, the Jie La on Qin Tian's wrist suddenly grows and extends a dozen vine branches.

"Grab it!"

A cold voice rings in everyone's mind.

The geniuses instinctively grab the vines, and then the vines light up with a white glow, condensing into milky energy spheres that envelop each genius.

In an instant, the geniuses feel their bodies lighten as oxygen rushes to their faces.

They are saved!

Their eyes brighten, and they shout joyfully:

"There's oxygen, we can survive now!"

"Black Crow, thank you so much!"

"We owe our survival this time entirely to you. When we get back, I'll give you a great reward."

"Me too!"

No one expected Black Crow's Symbiotic Spirit Plant not only to kill "Ghosts" but also to create a shield in space to fend off cosmic radiation while providing an endless supply of oxygen, giving everyone hope to live on.

This Spirit Plant is too versatile.

"By the way, did you prepare this Stellar Armor beforehand?"

Qin Tian: "No, I stole it a couple of days ago."

Stole... it.

Thinking of Black Crow's previous antics, everyone's mouth twitches, speechless.

Sure enough, it's just like you~

Zhuge Yu opens a smart device, searching for their current location.

"Sagittarius Star Zone, we actually came here."

The Sagittarius Star Zone is at least a week away from Azure Wood Star, and yet they only spent a dozen minutes in spatial turbulence.

"This is the Sagittarius Star Zone? We're at my doorstep!"

At this moment, Wu Ziyan's eyes light up, and she immediately says:

"I'll contact my family right away and send a spaceship as fast as possible to pick us up."

"Great!"

Zhuge Yu nods and says, "Everyone, let's quickly inform our families of our safety."

Hearing this, everyone quickly pulls out their smart devices to contact their families.

At this moment, their families must be worried sick.

...

Sagittarius Star Zone

Mars

In the room, Wu Shouwen paces anxiously, and beside him, a beautiful woman silently weeps, her eyes red.

"Mom, don't worry."

Wu Jianming, Wu Shouwen's eldest son, holds his mother's hand, comforting her:

"The Clan Leader of the Zhuge Clan personally performed a divination, and it's a favorable omen, meaning little sister will return safely."

The beautiful woman says chokingly, "I know, but the Zhuge Clan can only tell us that Ziyan is safe, but they don't know when she'll be back. Is it a day, three days, months, or years later?"

Hearing this, Wu Jianming's face also darkens. The Zhuge Clan can foresee some of the future and judge fortune or misfortune, but they aren't Gods and can't calculate exact times.

"Ziyan."

Wu Shouwen clenches his fists. If anything happens to his precious daughter, he'll fight the Blood Demon Cult to the death, unrelenting.

Beep beep beep

At that moment, the beautiful woman's smart wristwatch suddenly vibrates.

She raises her hand to see, eyes bursting with intense joy, and shouts: "It's Ziyan, it's Ziyan calling!"

What!!!

Wu Shouwen and Wu Jianming rush over, and seeing the name on the smart wristwatch, the two grown men also have tears in their eyes instantly.

"Quick, pick it up!"

Beep~~

The video image projects into the air, and a pretty face appears.

"Dad, mom, brother!!!"

Seeing her parents and brother, Wu Ziyan's previously stable emotions crumble instantly, tears streaming down her face,

"I'm back."

"Ziyan, where are you, where are you now!"

The beautiful woman asks with a trembling voice.

Wu Ziyan: "I'm in the Sagittarius Star Zone, and my coordinates are... We're all floating in space, quickly send a spaceship to pick us up."

"Alright, hang tight, I'll send a ship immediately."

Wu Shouwen quickly makes calls, informing the family to notify all merchant fleets, financial groups, even the military, to see who is closest to Wu Ziyan's coordinates, urgently sending a ship to pick them up.

"Ziyan, I've arranged everything, you all stay put and wait."

Now noticing Wu Ziyan's surroundings, Wu Shouwen hastily asks: "You're in space, how are you managing the oxygen issue, how long can it last?"

Wu Ziyan: "Don't worry about it, someone among us has a Tier Six Symbiotic Spirit Plant that provides us with an Energy Shield against cosmic radiation while supplying oxygen. It'll last a day without issue. By the way, the person is Black Crow, who was an examiner. We owe our survival this time to Zhuge Yu and Black Crow."

Black Crow!

Of course, Wu Shouwen knows this person. Their family watched Wu Ziyan's live broadcast and saw firsthand how Black Crow snatched an elixir from Wu Ziyan, causing her embarrassment in front of billions of viewers.

Back then, the hot-tempered Wu Shouwen cursed Black Crow loudly, who would've thought it would be Black Crow saving his daughter in the end.

"Good, this time we must show our gratitude," Wu Shouwen says seriously.

"Yes, yes, dad, come quickly!"

"Don't worry, I'm making my way there too, I want to personally bring my daughter home."

...

Azure Wood Star

"Elders, those children have news!"

A middle-aged man strides into the Elder Council, shouting loudly.

What!!

The elders of the Dongfang Clan brighten their eyes, hastily asking:

"Where are they now, any casualties?"

Middle-aged man: "In the Sagittarius Star Zone, the Wu Family has already sent a spaceship to retrieve them. Except for Lei Yao, no other casualties."

Hearing this result, the elders also breathe a sigh of relief.

Wonderful

No other casualties, this is tremendous news for the Dongfang Clan

Otherwise, they really don't know how to account for it with those bloodline families and the outside world.

Then, Dongfang Ke, sitting at the head, says gravely:

"Inform the Wu Family to send them back to Azure Wood Star after retrieval, the Genius Battle will continue, proceeding directly to the arena battles."

Hearing this, the elders nod slightly.

Yes, this incident cannot just be lightly brushed over.

The outside world must know that the contestants are safe, and the Genius Battle hasn't been too affected, thus preserving the Dongfang Clan's prestige.

However, since the Dongfang Clan's lax supervision caused this incident, resulting in deaths, the Dongfang Clan must pay a greater price to appease these geniuses and their families.

Of course, for the affluent Dongfang Clan, it's not much.

"Oh yes, they also said that the children's safe escape this time was mainly due to one person turning the tide." The middle-aged man adds.

"Who is it?"

Middle-aged man: "Black Crow!"

Black Crow, it's him!

Hearing this name, the elders' eyes flicker with a peculiar expression.
