Mu Fan discovers that four years have passed during his temporal displacement. He learns that the Zeg clan has launched a massive invasion, devastating the Aohan Freedom Alliance and other territories he previously traversed. Mu Fan, determined to find his companions, begins his journey through the ravaged galaxy.

May we still be young when we meet again.

Thinking back to the words left for the companions at farewell, still feels like yesterday.

"What about the beacons we left before?" Mu Fan asked softly.

Black's voice was unwavering, "No signal has been received, currently there are two possibilities: one is destruction, the other is being shielded by some special force field. My database calculation leans towards the second possibility, after all, finding and destroying those beacons in space itself is a meaningless action."

However, as Black's words just fell silent, another faintly aged voice rang in his ears, it was none other than the rarely appearing Immortal Divine Race Mohandas.

"The Insect Clan's purpose is extremely strong, all group actions are arranged by the Brain Worm, their ultimate goal is always plundering survival resources. So it must be their force field interfering with the signal reception, I understand them well."

The reason the signal cannot be found is becoming clearer, but it leaves a shadow quietly on Mu Fan's heart.

These four years of time...

To what extent has the Insect Clan expanded!

"We still cannot connect to the Star Network now, but another attempt can be made." After a while, Black spoke cautiously.

"What attempt?"

"Construct a signal base station, turn the warship into a huge signal base station, actively transmitting the Four-element Wave signal across light years. However..."

Hmm? Mu Fan frowned.

"But this will completely expose our location."

Time fell into silence.

"Temporarily remain on Flame Star, begin transformation."

Mu Fan's voice was calm and showed no fluctuation.

"Master."

"Nuonuo, I..." Mu Fan's tone showed an unusual tremor, yet he did not know where to start.

This move is the quickest way to find companions, but it would also bring current companions into a predicament.

The choice is difficult.

The girl's soft hands gently cupped Mu Fan's right hand, as Mu Fan looked back, he saw those clear eyes reflecting his own image.

Nuonuo's eyes were full of determination, "You never hesitated. When I fell on Barbaric Ascension Star, I watched the long night like daytime, one day, two days... one month, two months... even waited until the end of the long night when the stars faded, never saw the sun rise."

"But in my heart, there is faintly a voice telling me that I can see the light breaking through the night, and then I can wait for you."

The girl's eyes were full of enchanting smile, "So now, perhaps they are waiting for you in some corner of the universe."

"So, what are you hesitating for?"

Nuonuo's smile bloomed like a flower.

Numerous hardships weighed on her, yet they only made the girl's spirit purer.

"The Big Barbarian Bear in my heart, has always been the most fearless one!"

The small fist, along with the girl's encouraging expression, made Mu Fan's lips curl up, and the hesitation on his face at this moment disappeared completely.

"I understand."

Mu Fan turned to hold that delicate hand, turning to look at the giant light screen, in his vision was the endless deep space full of splendid colors.

His face has become calm.

"Announce to this world..."

"I am Mu Fan, I am back."

The young man's figure stood tall like a pine, standing on the command platform.

Under his white messy hair, his eyes full of fighting spirit, like flames!

That voice, like thunder.

...

...

Two days later, this voice was transformed into the strongest penetrating Four-element Wave signal in the Luqin Universe, spreading into the deep space!

Four warships with fierce appearance boldly sailed out of Flame Star.

Mu Fan stood with arms crossed on that vast command platform, through that huge floor-to-ceiling window, as if confronting the entire universe alone.

"You are waiting for me, aren't you?"

Calm self-talk, with that innate strong confidence!

...

Five hundred thousand kilometers away, a silent artificial star ring was floating.

From the outside, it appeared dead, with no lights.

But when entering the interior of the star ring, one could see a group of people living in a drunken stupor.

The reckless shouting of heavy metal music unabashedly venting people's emotions.

In the dim space, the metal walls hung with large and small ferocious shells.

A bearded man in a mercenary uniform slammed his beer mug heavily on the counter, his right hand gripping until it creaked.

His eyes were bloodshot, yelling at the old man slowly wiping the glass in front of him, "To break through that damn group of insects and retrieve the energy block, I lost exactly seven brothers, and now you tell me... not willing to give even a bit more."

"Tell me, is our lives worthless!"

The bearded man fiercely lunged forward, his hands directly grabbing the collar of the one-eyed man opposite.

The wiping motion of the glass stopped, the one-eyed man looked up, looked at the bearded man.

There was not a hint of anger in his eyes, only a numbness after seeing much.

"If not retrieved, we all die."

"We are just a lingering existence."

"These coins are merely the hope to let us survive."

The one-eyed man gently took away the bearded man's palms, lowered his eyes looking at the beer mug full of scratches, his voice filled only with a form of passive waiting for death.

"Do you honestly think someone would fly a ship here?"

"Federation, Empire? Or Revolution Army?"

The one-eyed man's words instantly cooled down the nearby atmosphere.

A group of men drinking bad-tasting liquor stared at each other, their eyes turned red.

In more than three years, their numbers as wandering survivors dwindled from one hundred and seventy thousand to twelve thousand.

Death may come in the next second.

Star Network collapsed, credit points no longer circulated, what use are these temporary currencies if there's more?

"I've switched four teams, lost over seventy brothers."

"Alright, congratulations to us for surviving another round."

"When the energy runs out, before everyone freezes to death, blind Jack will make sure you drink to your content, hahaha."

Loud laughter erupted around.

The bearded man weakly released his grip, then collapsed onto the bar and started crying.

Perhaps in the next round, he could go to accompany those brothers.

Crying and laughing, loudly roaring.

A sudden sharp alarm rang out.

The reveling crowd instantly froze.

"Alarm!?"

"Insects?"

The crowd was terrified and turned pale.

"Wait, it's not, this sound isn't an attack alert!" One-eyed Jack's eyebrows furrowed, he spoke decisively.

"Then what is it?" Someone asked nervously.

What is it... What is it...

One-eyed Jack suddenly looked up, eyes full of disbelief.

"Active Four-element Wave!?"

"Who's tired of living! Trying to provoke those insects in the Star Sea."

A dead silence filled the surroundings, everyone's mouth was dry.

How long have they been lonely?

Ships daring to activate active Four-element Wave signal were all torn to pieces by those frenzied insect swarms three years ago.

"With signal stimulation, insects will definitely riot!"

"Then we..."

"Take the chance to dig more energy blocks from the ruins sea, if I'm still alive, Old Jack you owe me ten cups of drinks!" The bearded man breathed heavily.

"Deal!"

Instantly, cheers erupted around.

One-eyed Jack watched everyone's response, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "This is indeed an opportunity, if insects are attracted away, we can consider moving collectively."

The breathing of everyone collectively turned heavy.

[Leave this damn star ring!]

Once the idea takes root, it can no longer be suppressed.

"Now... let's first see what this Four-element Wave signal is saying?"

"Trying to provide us with supplies? Hahaha."

Laughter erupted around.

One-eyed Jack pulled out a broken old model signal receiver from somewhere.

Thankfully it wasn't rusted tight.

The knob turned slightly, and the piercing sound began to smooth out gradually.

"Tsk, this damn signal power is strong, haha, full channel."

"Skinny Dirk, you go check those damn insects..."

The mercenary's words abruptly ceased.

Because, a voice clearly emerged from the metal box.

"I am Mu Fan, I am back."

With calm tone and...

That dominance that once opposed the entire world!
