When numerous F-level cosmic powerhouses came over with their families to seek refuge.

Gu Qijue did not refuse them but put forth a condition.

That was these F-level cosmic powerhouses must follow him into battle.

Outpost Star, Starship Port.

Gu Qijue and all the F-class warriors on Outpost Star had come here.

According to the orders from the upper echelons of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, all F-level and above powerhouses must participate in the combat at this time.

As a viscount of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, Gu Qijue could command an army of millions in battle.

But in this special period, there weren't even a million F-level cosmic powerhouses willing to follow his command.

At present, he couldn't even command one hundred F-level powerhouses, let alone a million.

Others who rose to become first-class viscounts of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, did so over a lengthy period.

During that lengthy period, they had already built their own teams.

Gu Qijue was different; at least, for now, he had nothing.

In such high-level battles, he couldn't bring Super Divine-tier Warriors onto the battlefield.

On the Klein people's side, their ranks consisted entirely of F-level cosmic ranks.

Although they later transformed many other creatures into Klein people,

these transformed Klein people were not as powerful.

But one thing is certain, the Klein people have a combat force of ten billion F-level cosmic ranks.

After repeatedly considering, Gu Qijue decided not to bring warriors below F-level to the battlefield.

After barely assembling a hundred F-level warriors, Gu Qijue led everyone into the battleground.

This time, traveling with Gu Qijue was only one familiar face, and that was An Ning.

The others had only recently sought refuge on Outpost Star.

Although their entire families were at the Outpost Star, their loyalty to Gu Qijue was not very high.

As the Emperor Starship slowly ascended into the cosmic void,

a middle-aged man of the Holy Race approached Gu Qijue not far away.

This middle-aged man of the Holy Race was named Wei Luo.

Wei Luo, at the peak of F-level, was among the strongest on this starship.

He was wearing dark red nanomech armor, his expression quite serious.

Wei Luo walked close to Gu Qijue and then asked: "Your Excellency the Leader, what is your battle plan?"

This question was crucial, concerning the safety of everyone on the starship.

Therefore, after Wei Luo asked, everyone's gaze immediately turned to Gu Qijue.

Choosing to be straightforward, Gu Qijue replied to Wei Luo's question.

"To be honest, I don't have a very good battle plan right now."

"I plan to observe the situation at the edge of the battlefield and act based on circumstances."

Wei Luo was relatively satisfied with Gu Qijue's answer.

Because this was the normal reaction; everyone was experiencing such a sudden event for the first time.

They could only adapt and explore swiftly without relying on past experience and strategy.

Under the requirement of the upper echelons of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, all F-level and above powerhouses must reside in the combat zone.

So now Gu Qijue led the crowd to the combat area without opposition from them.

If they didn't go with Gu Qijue, they'd have to go alone or with other people.

Comparatively, going together with Gu Qijue was evidently safer.

As the starship gradually approached the edge of the battlefield, Gu Qijue stopped the starship.

Then, under his leadership, everyone disembarked from the starship.

At this time, many people suggested: "Your Excellency the Leader, let's find the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster's elite combat force."

In such a dangerous battlefield, it's evident that strong individuals sticking together could increase survival chances.

Otherwise, out of these hundred people, it's unknown how many would return alive.

There were many who wished to seek refuge with the powerful combat units of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.

"Your Excellency the Leader, I have a way to contact the nearby Vermilion Bird Star Cluster elite, and have them accept us."

One by one, people spoke up; though varied in wording, their intent was clear.

That is, to seek refuge with the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster's elite force.

Gu Qijue originally intended to lead everyone together, but seeing they had such intent, he simply said:

"In that case, it's best for everyone to disperse."

"Those who want to join the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster elite force, or have other plans, can now leave."

"For those remaining, we'll continue together."

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly responded.

To Gu Qijue and most others' surprise, only five or six people left.

The rest merely suggested without any actual intention of leaving.

Seeing this, Gu Qijue couldn't help but find it amusing.

He said nothing more, simply led the remaining people onward.

An Ning, who had gone to Outpost Star earlier, now followed Gu Qijue on this mission.

As they advanced, she spoke beside Gu Qijue and Wei Luo:

"We could try to annihilate small groups of Klein forces and seize their technology."

"The Klein are ruthless conquerors; in the past, they destroyed numerous civilizations and seized vast amounts of technology from them."

"There is a significant amount of technological achievements in the hands of the Klein."

"Even if we only manage to eliminate a small number of them, we could reap substantial benefits."

"Moreover, just now, the Silver Flame Supercluster Civilization and over fifty Star Cluster-level Civilizations issued a joint statement."

Gu Qijue was slightly taken aback, having paid no attention to the communication channel.

If An Ning hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have known about this matter.

Since An Ning was aware, he didn't need to look at these joint statements.

Aside from the Klein's statements, other civilizations' statements were long-winded, causing dizziness when read.

So he simply asked An Ning: "What does this joint statement say?"

An Ning smiled and said: "By simply eliminating one Klein, you can receive full resources for a Super Divine-tier Warrior to grow to the F-level cosmic."

Everyone was an F-level cosmic powerhouse and understood clearly.

Just how many resources a Super Divine-tier Warrior requires to grow to the F-level cosmic.

Now, it was simple; just take down one Klein to gain such resources.

These resources, if used correctly, could yield great effects.

One set of resources meant adding another F-level cosmic powerhouse to your own forces.

While many were tempted, Gu Qijue raised his hand to signal everyone to remain alert.

Their spiritual power wasn't as strong as Gu Qijue's, so they hadn't noticed anything yet.

But with his spiritual power, Gu Qijue had already detected a planet almost completely turned to ruins.

All creatures on the planet, including humans, were slaughtered.
