From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

Hearing this intelligence, Lu Heng's eyebrows shot up.

The thing he had most feared had finally happened.

Half a year ago, the Creator Organization had requested biotech data from the Sikes Civilization, and Lu Heng had arranged for a set of data laced with traps through the Xavier Matrix to hand over to them.

From a technology perspective, given the level of human technology, it was impossible to detect the trap within the biotech data.

After all, it was a crushing superiority of Level 2.0 technology over Level 0.8 technology; no amount of human research could uncover the trap.

But the traps that human technology levels couldn't detect, Sikes Civilization could.

This meant that if the Creator Organization could get the complete biotech data from the Sikes Civilization, or if the Creator Organization sent someone with the tech data to the Sikes Civilization to verify its authenticity, the problems could be discovered.

Xie Shi'en continued to add, "I left some safeguards within the Creator Organization, so I intercepted this intelligence. If you really tampered with that biotech data, once it's discovered, you'll be hunted by the Creator Organization as a traitor."

Lu Heng thoughtfully asked, "What is the Creator Organization doing in the Sikes Civilization? Do you know?"

Xie Shi'en answered, "I can't be sure what they're specifically up to, but the intelligence I received shows that the Creator Organization people took the SPA-3 Superpower Potion there."

Lu Heng's expression grew more solemn as he said, "If that's the case, things are a bit tricky."

Xie Shi'en immediately understood, "Is there a problem with SPA-3?"

Lu Heng nodded, "This superpower potion contains a trap marker, originally intended to seek out the bio-pharmaceutical companies controlled by the Creator Organization. We did find them, but the marker also remained in the SPA-3.

"If the Creator Organization takes SPA-3 to the Sikes Civilization, the marker is very likely to be discovered.

"When that happens, the fact that I submitted false data will not be able to stay hidden."

Xie Shi'en said helplessly, "It looks like it's not just me who's defecting; you'll probably have to defect as well."

In fact,

Lu Heng's situation was more serious than Xie Shi'en's. Xie Shi'en's defection was hunted by the Creator Organization, but his identity was not exposed.

The Creator Organization was always hunting 027, without knowing 027's real identity.

Lu Heng was different; his real identity had long been known by the Creator Organization, and once considered a defector by the Creator Organization, it was very likely he would be hunted down.

Lu Heng himself was not afraid, but he had to worry about his parents' safety.

Thus, it would be best to deal with the matter cleanly in advance.

Xie Shi'en checked the time and said, "According to the intelligence I received, the summons from the Sikes Civilization passed twelve hours ago.

"Considering the time flow rate, another day's time, the people of the Creator Organization will return. If the Creator Organization really discovers the secret of the fake data, we need to start thinking about an escape plan now."

Lu Heng thought quickly and raised his hand to ask, "Hold on, are you certain the Creator Organization went to the Sikes Civilization?"

"Yes," Xie Shi'en nodded.

"We might still have a chance," a gleam of light showed in Lu Heng's eyes.

"What opportunity?" Xie Shi'en, not having the same information, couldn't figure out what opportunity Lu Heng was referring to.

"There's no time to explain now."

Lu Heng hurriedly took out his phone and called Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu:

"Mu Yu, an emergency, go find Yuan Yaoyao at once and bring her to Quenching Castle."

"Okay, I'm on it," Su Muyu agreed.

Then Lu Heng called Lin Zeyu:

"Emergency, have someone arrange to send our team's families to Quenching Castle now; we'll discuss what to do later when I get back."

"Okay, I'll handle it right away," Lin Zeyu agreed while heading downstairs.

In Coastal, there was no place safer than Quenching Castle.

Now that Flame Emblem had the background of the Daxia Military, the Flame Emblem Building itself boasted the highest security level.

To target the Flame Emblem Building was tantamount to opening fire on the Daxia Military.

The entrance to Quenching Castle could only be found through Flame Emblem, making it even safer than the headquarters of Flame Emblem.

In the face of an emergency, arranging for family members to take temporary refuge in Quenching Castle was the safest option.

...

All arrangements were made.

Lu Heng and Xie Shi'en immediately set off for the Flame Emblem Building to gather in Quenching Castle.

Yuan Yaoyao, upon hearing that Lu Heng was looking for her, immediately followed Su Muyu over.

"Brother Lu, is there something you need my help with? Hehehe..." Yuan Yaoyao's greatest joy now was being needed by Lu Heng.

It satisfied her small vanity of "I am so powerful."

Lu Heng nodded and answered, "Yes, I need your help this time. How many people can you take to the Sikes Civilization right now?"

Yuan Yaoyao waved her hand and put on an air of a little adult, "Don't ask me how many people, you should ask me how many cars."

Lu Heng raised an eyebrow and said, "Should we start with two cars?"

Yuan Yaoyao widened her eyes, "You really need to bring that many? This costs a lot of energy, you know."

The number of people she could now transport was indeed not small, but the more people she took, and the higher their overall quality, the more energy would be consumed.

And it wasn't just about consuming the Black Feather Spirit's energy, but also that of Xavier's Matrix Space-Time Transmitter.

Using so much energy, the space-time transmitter would quickly become an energy black hole, devouring a vast area of the city's energy.

This could easily expose the position of Xavier's Matrix.

Therefore, Yuan Yaoyao was just boasting, the fewer people she brought, the better.

Lu Heng smiled and asked, "How many people can you bring without difficulty?"

Yuan Yaoyao held up four fingers but retracted one after a thought, "Three would be safer."

Lu Heng's team already had four members, and the operation was urgent. If possible, it would be better for all four to go.

Su Muyu smiled and said, "I'll go alone, you guys can follow Yaoyao."

When she was summoned to the Sikes Civilization, she completed a World Task and chose a Space Anchor Point as her reward.

Thus, she could teleport to the Sikes Civilization alone, without needing Yuan Yaoyao to accompany her.

"Alright, that's the plan, and we're short on time. Let's leave now," Lu Heng decided immediately.

Since time flowed differently between the two worlds, a few hours' delay here could mean several days had already passed there.

Members of the Creator Organization were summoned over, and once their summoning time ended, they would return.

Once this person returned, there would be no chance to stop them.

Yuan Yaoyao, seeing the urgency in Lu Heng's tone, quickly summoned the Black Feather Spirit and began connecting to Sikes Civilization's space-time transmitter.

After half an hour of preparation, the transmission was finally ready.

Lu Heng, Lin Zeyu, and Xie Shi'en, along with the Black Feather Spirit, were all teleported to the Sikes Civilization's Second Gaia Star.

After the three-person team including Su Muyu teleported, they also activated the Space Anchor Point and teleported over.

After more than ten minutes of teleportation, countless lights and shadows flew past their vision.

When their sight returned, they had already appeared in a space laboratory of the Sikes Civilization.

Ze Wei'er stood outside the transmitter, greeting them with a smile, "Welcome back."

Yuan Yaoyao ran out controlling the Black Feather Spirit and said, "Professor, Brother Lu needs your assistance."

"No problem, I'd be happy to help," Ze Wei'er immediately agreed without hesitation.

Yuan Yaoyao came out of the space-time transmitter, and showing her familiarity with the laboratory, she ran out the door saying, "I'll go meet Sister Mu Yu."

Since Su Muyu came through the Space Anchor Point, her arrival location was different.

However, Su Muyu could now fly and soon flew over.

Yuan Yaoyao, wearing the Black Feather Spirit battle armor, waved to the sky from the courtyard.

Lu Heng followed her outside and saw Su Muyu reveal herself in the yard.

She had come invisibly to avoid unnecessary trouble.

The four-member team regrouped to begin the urgent operation.

Lin Zeyu still looked confused, "I still don't know what's going on."

Normally, for operations where there was more time, Lu Heng would gather the team first and discuss the plan of action.

This time was different, due to the difference in time flow between the two worlds.

They couldn't delay too long on Blue Star, or the time for the operation in the Abyss Battlefield might end.

Now that they had teleported here, they were not as pressed for time.

They could start by gathering intelligence and then determine the action plan.

Lu Heng called everyone into the meeting room and began, "First of all, I'd like to thank Professor Ze Wei'er for his assistance. We have a very urgent matter we need to take care of."

"You tell me, and I'll see if I can help," Ze Wei'er responded.

Lu Heng pondered his first question, "A few days ago, there were humans summoned here, does the professor know where these summoned humans might be?"

Ze Wei'er replied, "I'll check."

Obviously, Ze Wei'er wasn't concerned about these details unless the summoned people appeared around him.

However, for the information network of Sikes Civilization, checking this bit of information wouldn't take long.

Seconds later, Ze Wei'er said, "Yes, there was a summoning six days ago, involving humans."

"Where?" Lu Heng pressed.

"Not on Second Gaia, on Queen Star," Ze Wei'er gave a rather tricky answer.

This was the Second Gaia Star of Sikes Civilization, a very bustling planet within the Capital Star Circle.

Initially, Lu Heng had considered that the Abyss Battlefield might not necessarily be on Second Gaia Star.

It turned out to be another planet indeed.

This made things awkward.

Lu Heng was here to prevent a member of the Creator Organization from discovering the secret of the fake data.

That meant he had to go to Queen Star.

In other words, to stop this, they had to travel from Second Gaia Star to Queen Star.

For current human civilization, traveling from one planet to another was almost an impossible mission.

For Sikes Civilization though, it was not difficult.

The problem was, humans did not have official status within Sikes Civilization and couldn't board a spaceship.

Lu Heng took a deep breath and asked, "Professor, is it possible for you to help us get to Queen Star?"
