"But what happens after that? We don't have the ability to survive in space right now."

Just after Jia Weixin said this, he suddenly looked at Yang Yuan, his eyes shining, "Mr. Yang Yuan, can you enhance my aircraft? If it can be strengthened to the level of a starship, maybe we can really get out of here."

"And then? How do we solve the problem of food and water?" Yang Yuan asked.

"This..." Jia Weixin was also stumped.

The remaining food was enough to fill the stomachs of those currently alive for a year, and allow them to eat well for three months.

But wandering in space would definitely take more than a year.

And in space, food alone isn't enough, there's also the rumored homesickness syndrome.

Since humans are land creatures, once they leave land and enter the space where they can't stand firmly, they become anxious and uneasy.

Then various symptoms would frequently occur.

To wander in space is not that easy.

Unless the spacecraft can really be transformed into something like a small ecosystem.

Leader Chen stared at a planet in the nearby star system: "That planet is dark green, it's possible it has signs of life. If we could reach it... wait, look, something is flying over from near that planet!"

Suddenly, he exclaimed in shock.

In fact, Yang Yuan and the others also saw it—a streak of light seemed initially to be orbiting that planet.

But at this moment, the light suddenly turned and flew rapidly in this direction.

Yes, it was a streak of light.

The speed was so fast, whether it was due to the angle in space or some other reason, everyone felt that the streak of light was flying toward them.

Leader Chen calculated in his mind and then said in awe, "From such a distance, it's visible moving, and at such speed, emitting light... terrifyingly reaching the speed of light. If that object itself doesn't emit light, it would only shine due to photon collisions. But how is that possible? It doesn't seem to accelerate much, doesn't it need acceleration time? Is it matter or some special light? Can the speed of matter really reach the speed of light?"

He mumbled in shock.

"Quickly look, that light is getting bigger..."

Suddenly, a Superpower User exclaimed.

It not only got bigger, but it was also magnifying rapidly.

Then Yang Yuan and the others stared wide-eyed as the object grew larger in their field of vision.

Finally, they saw clearly—it was a massive sphere.

Specifically, an elliptical sphere with densely packed 'small holes' on it.

Even from such a distance, they could see the small holes on its surface, making one wonder how huge that object was.

"It's slowing down... It's really coming towards us, what should we do?" The Superpower User responsible for keeping the door open looked nervously at the leaders.

"Is it an alien ship?" Leader Chen's eyes were fervent.

At this point, the sphere had already stopped approximately at a distance similar to that between the Earth and the Moon.

Yang Yuan and the others were shocked to find that the thing had a diameter of at least four to five thousand kilometers, at least ten times larger than the Moon.

With such a size and the ability to control speed, it was absolutely impossible to be a meteorite—could it really be a starship from an alien civilization?

Yang Yuan looked at Jia Weixin, "Should we close the door first? This path is too risky."

Jia Weixin frowned, seeing that the alien ship had stopped, and then a large number of black dots flew out from those densely packed small holes, instantly causing him to be as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Now suddenly knowing that within the Ancient Ruins, a Celestial-level Creature might also be sealed, he felt an intense sense of crisis.

He desperately wanted to get out of there, to escape from the Ancient Ruins because it might be the only chance to escape these ruins.

But he was also afraid of the alien ship outside, and the survival issue in space was also a big problem.

'If only the leader were here.' he thought.

Just as this thought fell, suddenly the elderly man who had vanished before appeared out of thin air.

Then, the two looked at each other.

Old Man: "..."

Jia Weixin: "..."

"Leader!" Jia Weixin instantly reacted, then his spirits lifted, excitedly saying, "Your arrival couldn't have been more timely..."

"..."

The old man looked at the excited Jia Weixin, akin to a fifty-year-old child, and felt somewhat itchy on his hands, wanting to violently pin this guy down and stomp on him with his big foot.

Can't the old man have a good sleep?

Summons again, wasn't the previous suffering for nothing?

Although his situation was special, every death still involved pain, alright?

He really wanted to open this guy's head to see what kind of device was installed inside, why it could summon him?

Although Jia Weixin hadn't said anything yet, the old man could sense that not even a whole day (twenty-four hours) had passed since his disappearance.

Not even a day!

Chen Xianzhi and others, upon hearing Jia Weixin's voice, hurriedly turned back.

Seeing the old man's sudden appearance, everyone immediately perked up.

"Leader!"

Everyone hurriedly saluted.

Yang Yuan also followed suit with a salute.

Although up to now he didn't know who this old man exactly was, seeing Jia Weixin and others respect him so much, he knew the man wasn't simple.

Anyway, maintaining basic politeness was right.

The old man looked at Jia Weixin with a complicated expression, sighed deeply, and then squinted his eyes to look at the situation outside the Door of Arbitrariness.

At this time, the gigantic alien spaceship had already dispatched numerous 'small ships,' seemingly setting up defenses.

It seemed that the alien civilization wasn't clear about the situation here and assumed that a civilization capable of opening the Starry Sky Gate was very powerful.

Probably due to this, the other side did not act rashly but defended first.

This was a very cautious alien civilization.

Perhaps due to the relationship with Jia Weixin, or perhaps simply because he was 'omnipotent,' the old man already understood the situation, didn't ask, and directly said, "Alliance Headquarters on the other side has already encountered an alien civilization and does not have spare capacity to handle other matters. We cannot provoke a second alien civilization. Close the Door of Arbitrariness."

"But... this might be our only chance to leave the Ancient Ruins..."

Jia Weixin hesitated a bit.

"As long as you're alive, there's a chance!"

Maybe filled with anger, the old man couldn't help but reprimand, "And have you forgotten what I told you? For all of humankind, when necessary, even you and I can sacrifice. I have only been gone for a short while, and you've already forgotten a soldier's mission? Not only did you forget, but you're also willing to bring disaster to all of humanity just to save yourself!"

"...!!"

Was it really that exaggerated?

Jia Weixin felt some grievance but didn't dare to talk back, quickly saying to the Superpower User at the door, "Close the door... By the way, Mr. Yang Yuan, what do you think?"
