Deep Space Scavenging, Hand Over Alien Warships at the Beginning

He raised his hand in a military salute that wasn’t quite standard, yet was exceptionally powerful.

”Sun, thanks. You’ve looked after us for so long. When we get stronger, we’ll come back for you.”

gaia, now changed into a sharp naval commander’s uniform, was hopping around the screen. ”Boss, where’s our first stop? Radar shows a bunch of ’ownerless’ resource planets four light-years ahead. Should we collect them on the way?”

”Collect them! Why wouldn’t we?” Lin Yuan grinned. ”The Earth is now an armored RV. Wherever we pass, we dismantle. We’re wandering, not begging for alms.”

Meanwhile.

At the galactic center, beside the giant supermassive black hole known as the ’God’s Horizon’.

A mechanical city composed of countless nested rings floated quietly in the void. There was no light here; all energy was derived from the violent accretion disk of the black hole.

In the deepest part of the city, a white statue slowly turned its head.

It was a half-human, half-machine face. Its originally closed eyes slightly opened, and what flowed inside were not eyeballs, but countless constantly jumping high-dimensional characters.

”Moria is dead... wrath has also disappeared.”

A voice layered with countless echoes rang out in the empty hall.

”A Level 1 civilization actually mastered the laws of the titans? Interesting.”

The statue extended a finger and tapped lightly in the void. An image of Earth escaping the Solar System appeared before him.

”Run then, run into my hunting grounds.”

”I want to see just how much junk that variable named Lin Yuan can pick up before he dares to stand before me.”

In the image, the Mechanical Pope’s indifferent eyes were dead-locked on the blue light speeding through deep space.

And at that moment, several light-years away, Lin Yuan suddenly sneezed.

”gaia, is someone praising my handsomeness behind my back?”

Lin Yuan rubbed his nose and looked toward the deeper, more chaotic boulder field ahead.
