After a massive deployment of elite forces to the battlefield, this round of engagement swiftly reached its conclusion.

The Void Insect Race and other void monsters, having already consumed numerous Divine-tier warriors and even Super Divine-tier warriors, took the opportunity to retreat.

Those who didn't leave were soon eliminated by Commander Karl's elite forces.

At this moment, Commander Karl issued another order.

"Resource collection unit, gather Void Crude Oil immediately."

"Elite combat team, ensure their safety."

"Everyone else, remain on guard around the perimeter."

Although many wanted to take down Commander Karl, it was evident that no one could act on that desire right now.

Even though Commander Karl was feeling triumphant, he had simultaneously offended many people.

Sooner or later, when one of these individuals rises to become a true top-tier powerhouse, the death knell for Karl will sound.

Gu Qijue didn't dwell on the matter of Karl any further; he and Si Yi had already begun exploring this Divine Race relic.

Si Yi was rather knowledgeable about this place.

At first glance, it seemed as if they were wandering aimlessly like everyone else.

But in reality, under Si Yi's guidance, their surroundings became increasingly deserted.

There were many who, like them, strayed far from the main group.

Thus, as the three of them began to distance themselves from the main group, no one paid any heed.

After flying a long distance, Si Yi excitedly said, "We're here."

Gu Qijue understood why he was excited.

In this secluded and hidden location lay a void rift.

Behind the void rift, relatively intact Divine Race structures were preserved.

As expected, these preserved structures held valuable items.

However, the area teemed with numerous void monsters.

Although Si Yi and his companion possessed considerable strength, they were at a loss against so many void monsters.

Fortunately, they had anticipated this and had enlisted a combat powerhouse to assist.

Si Yi turned to Gu Qijue and politely said, "Your Excellency Supreme Leader Gu, we'll rely on you."

Gu Qijue casually swung out the Blood Spear and said, "It's a small matter."

With that, he was the first to enter the void rift.

Inside, there were numerous Divine Crystal Ores.

These were useless to Si Yi and Si Yun, and neither of them had any interest.

Though they were of no use to them, Gu Qijue could utilize them.

Thus, Gu Qijue could happily and unreservedly accept all the Divine Crystal Ores.

This was what he intended to do, and Si Yi and Si Yun had no objection.

Though they wanted to advise Gu Qijue to take other valuable items instead of these useless stones,

they had tried before, but Gu Qijue wouldn't listen, and there wasn't much more they could do.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Gu Qijue wielded the Blood Spear, continuously battling the myriad of iridescent void monsters around him.

The appearances of these void monsters were bizarre and grotesque, as ugly as could be.

Although not overwhelmingly powerful, they possessed peculiar abilities that made them difficult opponents.

At that moment, the monster confronting Gu Qijue was a silver centaur.

This centaur wielded two axes, locked in a fierce battle with Gu Qijue.

"Puff!"

Ultimately, Gu Qijue proved superior, disarming the centaur's War Axe with a swing of the Blood Spear.

The sharp and unmatched Blood Spear pierced through the centaur in an instant.

A bizarre scene unfolded then.

The centaur impaled by the Blood Spear seemed to instantly turn into a silvery liquid.

That deadly strike from Gu Qijue didn't deal a fatal blow.

Nonetheless, the silver centaur was startled greatly.

Without hesitation, it bolted to escape.

Gu Qijue didn't pursue the fleeing silver centaur due to the overwhelming number of void monsters around him.

As the silver centaur fled, more void monsters were closing in.

Gu Qijue had to fight while collecting various high-level items nearby.

Under Gu Qijue's protection, Si Yi and Si Yun were relatively safe.

Nevertheless, Si Yi expressed his concern, "Supreme Leader, there are too many monsters here, should we try another location?"

The Divine Race has a long history in the cosmos, with unfathomable depth.

After a certain level of assistance, Si Yi considered giving up.

He believed that there were plenty of relics left by the Divine Race ancestors, so there was no need to risk everything.

But Gu Qijue wasn't ready to leave just yet; he wanted to exhaust the benefits before departing.

He replied immediately, "If you are unable to fight any longer, you can withdraw and wait for me outside."

"Once I gather the benefits here, I'll share 20% with you."

According to the initial agreement among the three of them, whoever acquired the benefits would keep them.

Thus, Gu Qijue offering 20% of his gains to Si Yi and Si Yun was more than generous.

Si Yi shook his head repeatedly upon hearing this.

What Gu Qijue gained in this ruin were largely Divine Crystal Ores.

These were just useless stones to them; what would they do with these stones?

Si Yi and Si Yun chose to withdraw immediately.

They had already gathered some useful items in the relic.

Upon exiting, Si Yi said to Gu Qijue, "Supreme Leader, you could collect some other resources."

"The Divine Crystal Ore is abundant on our planet, and I can send a starship to transport some to your planet later."

Gu Qijue was delighted to hear this: "Thank you."

If there's such a benefit, of course, he wouldn't miss out.

Subsequently, Gu Qijue continued his assault and soon discovered a broken sculpture.

In this relatively intact architectural complex, sculptures were not uncommon.

However, this sculpture differed from all the others.

Embedded within was a staff with a thunderbolt design on its top.

Gu Qijue immediately used the Infinite Engine to scan the item.

[Thunder Moon Divine Staff: F-Class Weapon, a medium connected to the Thunder Moon Divine Hall, possessing the power to control thunder.]

Realizing it was a high-end item, Gu Qijue was overjoyed.

He smashed the sculpture and wielded the Thunder Moon Divine Staff in his hand.

His powerful Spiritual Power began to refine the Thunder Moon Divine Staff.

The item was currently unowned, making its refinement not difficult.

Once Gu Qijue refined the Thunder Moon Divine Staff, he engaged the surrounding void monsters with it in hand.

His figure moved among the extensive complex, gathering resources.

Ultimately, after sweeping through a vast majority of the area, Gu Qijue finally departed.

Reaching the rift's entrance and rejoining Si Yi and Si Yun, he was somewhat surprised.

The two showed little reaction to the Thunder Moon Divine Staff in his hand.
