The Great Genetic Era Chapter 2363: Plan to Destroy Moon

Stationed before the Mars quantum teleportation hub, Du Yue, the mission lead for combat robot maintenance, remained utterly composed despite the sudden emergence of a quantum storm.

Having served on the frontline for two years, Du Yue had endured countless skirmishes. He refrained from immediately notifying the command center of the anomaly; while emergencies were critical, any misidentification could trigger severe disciplinary action under military law.

After five seconds, Du Yue attempted to push a damaged combat robot into the now-chaotic gateway. Before the machine could cross the threshold, the quantum storm shredded half its frame, leaving Du Yue stunned. The sheer potency of the disturbance was unlike anything he had encountered during his two-year tenure.

Setting aside his shock, he forwarded the recorded footage to Combat Command as a high-priority military alert before returning to his post. His duty was clear, and further developments were beyond his jurisdiction.

Inside the Mars Combat Command, the urgent report reached Zhu Lang within a minute. A military quantum teleportation channel had been compromised by a massive quantum storm, with preliminary projections suggesting the signature of a Nine Satellites Planetary realm powerhouse. The central issue remained that no such individual had traversed the Mars sector in days. This raised the unsettling question: where did the source of this storm originate?

Zhu Lang immediately issued a directive for the New Moon to mobilize for war, ordering a sweep of all personnel. Simultaneously, he alerted Xu Tui. Xu Tui’s response was characteristically brief: 'Got it.' Though only two words, his calm efficiency instilled a sense of absolute certainty in Zhu Lang—as if the entire chaotic situation were merely a piece in the commander’s hidden game.

In reality, Xu Tui’s poise was simply a result of his advanced awareness compared to the Command center. By the time Zhu Lang’s report reached him, three minutes had elapsed since the initial incident. Xu Tui, however, had been informed by Shang Long two minutes and fifty seconds earlier: 'An unknown Small Universe cultivator has infiltrated the maintenance drones to access the New Moon. Intentions are unclear.'

Shang Long had used the high-level colonies of the Tri Ling Ding to relay the message instantly. Over the years, Xu Tui had leveraged the Ling Clan, an ancient lifeform, to acquire several such high-level colonies.

As for Shang Long’s presence on the New Moon, it was a result of his merging with the shattered moon during a battle over a year ago. From that moment, Shang Long and the New Moon became one and the same entity.

Later, Xu Tui provided Shang Long with Silver Spirit Boxes, utilizing the mental body clone technique obtained from Qiao An to strengthen his essence. Consequently, when Shang Long achieved the Small Universe realm, the New Moon naturally ascended with him. This effectively ensured that a Small Universe-level entity stood guard over the Blue Star, serving as a vital safety barrier and the bedrock of Xu Tui's confidence.

With Shang Long in place, the Blue Star remained secure. Thus, the intruder hiding among the robots was exposed to Shang Long the instant he arrived. Rather than engaging immediately, Shang Long chose to consult with Xu Tui.

While Shang Long could stall any Small Universe-level threat, the intruder’s motives for using a maintenance robot as a disguise remained suspicious. Xu Tui, along with Cai Shaochu, Zhu Lang, Qu Qingshan, and Shang Long, had already mapped out the most likely tactics for a Great Xi Clan counterattack; an incursion to sabotage the Blue Star’s home world was on the list, though deemed improbable. Yet, the Great Xi Clan had chosen to attempt it regardless.

'No need to rush. Monitor their actions,' Xu Tui ordered. 'Teacher, prepare for a sudden strike.'

Above the New Moon, the damaged robot emitted a surge of terrifying mind power, sweeping across the lunar surface like a plow. The scanner’s reach left every corner of the moon exposed. This surge triggered frantic alarms, and as the local planetary commander roared for reinforcements, a beam of light vaporized him instantly. A ten-meter crater formed where he had stood, and the alarms escalated into a system-wide war alert per Zhu Lang’s protocols.

As the Great Xi Clan operative struck, Shang Long’s fury flared, the very essence of the moon ready to unleash devastation. However, the intruder suddenly ascended, fleeing into outer space. As he cleared the moon's gravity, he felt a momentary unease, yet dismissed it. His scans indicated the moon’s defenses were trivial, limited to mere quasi-planetary strength. Had it not been for the looming threat of the Blue Star’s technological weaponry, he could have finalized his mission without even leaving the lunar orbit.

Seeing the intruder move into deep space, away from the Blue Star, Shang Long held his position, reporting the data to Xu Tui for final disposition. Strategy was not his specialty, so he deferred to his commander.

The intruder’s failure to identify Shang Long’s true power was simple: Shang Long was the planet itself. The attacker searched for an external aura, failing to realize the entire landscape was the consciousness he sought to evade.

'Outer space, then? Maintain observation,' Xu Tui ordered Cai Shaochu, who was stationed at Ceres Star. 'Have the second cosmic combat team relocate to the Blue Star in squads, then advance to the New Moon when appropriate.' 'Acknowledged,' Cai replied.

With the order given, Xu Tui—having finished searching the Great Xi Clan’s Planet Bahat—moved his primary combat team into the Heavenly River Chessboard and transitioned through the quantum channel.

His first stop was Ceres Star, intending to hold the gap left by Cai Shaochu before assessing the situation. Upon arrival, he found that Wen Shao and Miao Huanshan had already departed through the third quantum gate. Lacking the Heavenly River Chessboard, they were forced into a longer transit.

The two cosmic combat teams represented Xu Tui’s strongest assets. With seventeen Small Universe-level powerhouses now available to the Blue Star, along with fighters of equal caliber like Zhao Hailong and Wen Xinglun, Xu Tui remained unflappable. His forces were prepared to face the Great Xi Clan elites head-on.

Xu Tui received the latest intelligence as he reached Ceres Star: the Great Xi Clan operative had activated a quark particle warp device in deep space. The energy fluctuations were so massive they were easily tracked by any sensory array.

Thirty seconds for full transition. Xu Tui realized the final, desperate maneuver of the Great Xi Clan.

'All planets enter war status. Seal all quantum gates except those authorized. Direct the second combat team to immediately transit from the Blue Star to the New Moon,' Xu Tui commanded. He stepped into the pre-activated Ceres channel; thanks to years of development, inter-planetary movement was now seamless.

He avoided routing the second combat team through Ceres to prevent overtaxing the channels; a collapse under heavy load or while mid-transit would be disastrous. Knowing the Great Xi Clan was focusing on the New Moon, the thirty-second countdown provided his window.

Xu Tui arrived on the New Moon just as Cai Shaochu materialized. With the channel limits, only three could teleport at once. As they solidified, Xu Tui, Cai Shaochu, and Erera sensed six distinct, powerful signatures—five of which were foreign and overwhelmingly majestic. One stood out above the rest: Yuan, the Great Xi leader, had arrived.

'Quickly, destroy the moon remotely! The resulting storm will prevent the Blue Star elites from returning, giving us time to—' Yuan paused, his command cut short as he locked eyes with his opponent. 'Found you at last. Now, let’s move!' Xu Tui waved his hand, and his team surged into the sky, ready for battle.
