The subspace connecting the planet to the outside world has been completely locked, and Beigong Zhai and others cannot tear through space to get out.

Although they can tear through space, they cannot stay in subspace for too long.

For various reasons, they have only one path to death.

Gu Qijue and his two companions had relatively better luck, along with the right strategies and formidable strength.

They were not discovered by the main forces of the Qiongqi Star Cluster and even if they were, they had emergency protocols in place.

As a result, they relatively easily held out until the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster's combat forces engaged with those of the Qiongqi Star Cluster.

When they saw cracks continually appearing in the planetary blockade barrier, Gu Qijue smiled.

Tian Li also smiled, because their hope had arrived!

Tian Li hurriedly asked, "How can I get to the Emperor Star Alliance next?"

Gu Qijue retorted, "Can you go to the Emperor Star Alliance alone?"

If they took Tian Li with them, it would be extremely dangerous.

He and Ziling would inevitably have to undergo thorough examinations.

Though Tian Li had a Subspace Manufacturing Workshop, that device required a one-hour cooldown after each use.

Relying solely on that device, Tian Li likely couldn't pass inspection.

After leaving Gu Qijue and Ziling, Tian Li would gain freedom.

But he is neither a combatant nor a cosmic survival expert, and his survival skills in space are not strong.

Tian Li thought for a moment and said, "I can wait for you at a predetermined location if I can't make it to the Emperor Star Alliance by myself."

"I don't have very strong combat abilities, and I could potentially die if I encounter a Super Divine-tier Warrior."

Gu Qijue immediately said, "Okay, then you choose a place, and after we pass the examinations, we'll come to meet you."

Tian Li shook his head: "You shouldn't rush to meet me, but instead find a place to use a Super Long-Distance Space Transmission Device."

"If the Super Long-Distance Space Transmission Device cannot be used, we might need to perform tens of thousands of wormhole jumps to reach the Divine Desolate Continent."

Gu Qijue understood that Tian Li was right.

They not only needed to find a place to use the Super Long-Distance Space Transmission Device, but also to arrange a fake identity for Tian Li to use the Space Transmission Device.

After some contemplation, he said to Tian Li, "I understand, you choose a predetermined location."

"Once we find the right place, we'll arrange a legal identity for you and come to find you again."

Tian Li showed a satisfied expression; this is the advantage of working with smart people, there's no need to explain everything in detail.

Life is limited, and if every common-sense issue needs to be explained in detail, precious life would be quickly consumed.

Next, Gu Qijue took Tian Li and Ziling and headed closer to where they came from.

There, Gu Qijue did not see anyone else.

Not only did he not see Beigong Zhai and others, but he also did not see Vita.

However, Gu Qijue did not linger; he directly took Ziling and Tian Li and continued forward.

The planetary blockade barrier in this direction had already been shattered by the Star Annihilation Cannon.

If their luck wasn't too bad, they could escape smoothly from here.

As facts proved, their luck was quite good.

The three arrived here very smoothly, and after Tian Li gave Gu Qijue a coordinate, they split up.

Gu Qijue and Ziling needed to report to the frontline headquarters of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster, otherwise, they would be considered missing personnel.

If they were to appear elsewhere later on, they would then be regarded as deserters.

Becoming a deserter from the combat forces of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster was a very serious matter.

At the very least, it meant lifetime imprisonment and forced labor reform, and at the worst, immediate execution!

These rules could be clearly seen on the Nanometer Combat Bracelet.

After flying through the void for a period, Gu Qijue and Ziling returned to the rear base.

Just as the two appeared here, they saw someone who strongly resembled Vita.

This person was called Pasteur, an E-Tier Cosmic Warrior.

Pasteur was Vita's elder brother, and he was here specifically to wait for Gu Qijue and Ziling.

Looking at Gu Qijue and Ziling, Pasteur forced a smile and said, "Welcome back, newcomers."

Then he added, "From now on, perhaps we shouldn't call you newcomers anymore; you have already been baptized by the battlefield and transformed into warriors."

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Pasteur."

"I look very much like Vita because I am Vita's elder brother."

"I have to give you some unfortunate news, my foolish brother and all of your team twenty-one members have sacrificed."

Ziling, who had followed Gu Qijue, had not felt the harshness of war.

Only now did she realize that it wasn't that this war wasn't harsh enough, but rather that Gu Qijue had kept the three of them out of harm's way at all times.

Gu Qijue also realized at this time that all twenty-one Divine-tier individuals like Beigong Zhai had perished.

He was quite heartbroken now.

Twenty-one Divine-tier individuals meant more than twenty Divine Spirit Crystal Cores, which could have created so many Divine Spirits?

Compared to Gu Qijue's heartbreak, Ziling felt more sorrowful.

Her relationship with Beigong Zhai and others wasn't particularly close, but they had known each other for a long time.

Originally, she thought that this time, all of them could smoothly return to the Divine Desolate Continent.

In the end, out of the twenty-three who came, only she and Gu Qijue were able to smoothly make it back to the Divine Desolate Continent.

Pasteur continued to say to the two of them, "Now you need to go to the frontline headquarters to report the situation, follow me."

Though Pasteur did not believe that Gu Qijue and Ziling had hidden Tian Li.

According to regulations, everyone who escaped must undergo inspection.

Following Pasteur, Gu Qijue and Ziling soon headed to the frontline headquarters of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster.

Bi Fang Star, Vermilion Bird Star Cluster Frontline Headquarters.

It was the first time that the two of them had come here.

Everything was novel to them.

Many devices and technology weapons were unfamiliar even to Gu Qijue, not to mention Ziling.

Ziling felt like saying that Gu Qijue's previous decisions were very correct.

Because since entering Bi Fang Star, they were constantly being inspected by various devices.

Even a Cosmic Level strong presence followed behind them.

If they had brought Tian Li along in any manner, they would definitely have been discovered.

They easily passed various inspections.

After both completed all inspections, they met with Pasteur again.

Pasteur smiled at the Cosmic Level strong presence following them and said:

"Monroe, I told you earlier, they're just Divine-tier Warriors, there's no need for them to be inspected at the frontline headquarters."

The man, Monroe, ignored Pasteur and turned to leave, as he still had others to inspect.

Something on Tian Li might contain a space device to hide himself.

The massive effort this time was specifically to seize Tian Li from the Qiongqi Star Cluster; they had no intention of returning empty-handed.

After Monroe left, Gu Qijue asked Pasteur:

"Do we have to teleport back to the original place, or can we take a tour of the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster for a while?"
