Most of the fleets coming to the edge regions of the Celestial Essence Star Cluster Civilization are not there to receive refugees.

Aside from places like the Desolate Star System, most star systems have planetary civilizations formed by intelligent life, or even star-level civilizations.

The Desolate Star System is quite special; even after introducing high-level talents like Tian Li, only two civilizations were discovered.

Gu Qijue currently doesn't have time to deal with the Cat Spirit Star Civilization and the Sen Star Civilization.

Those two civilizations, coincidentally, are one planetary civilization and one star-level civilization, which don't require his concern.

After Gu Qijue's fleet arrived, numerous civilian spacecraft started approaching his location.

Gu Qijue also came from the Emperor Flagship, into space.

Soon, many figures emerged from these spacecraft.

Upon seeing Gu Qijue, they spoke with extreme humility.

"Honorable sir, can your fleet receive ordinary refugees?"

"We can do anything for your planet that we are capable of doing."

"We just ask for some food in the beginning and a place to settle."

The refugees seemed to have been rejected many times; when speaking to Gu Qijue about this, they didn't hold much hope.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Although there are a large number of fleets here, almost all require talents, not ordinary people.

Which is normal since talents are rare, while there are plenty of ordinary people.

However, Gu Qijue's response surprised everyone.

"I am Gu Qijue, the Supreme Leader of the Infinite Empire."

"The Infinite Empire is a quasi-star system-level power in the Desolate Star System, where resources are not abundant and intelligent life is very scarce."

"If you are willing to go to the Infinite Empire and abide by its laws, then any of you may orderly board my starships."

After Gu Qijue finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

No one expected there to still be a place like the Desolate Star System!

Their homeland was almost completely destroyed by the previous star cluster-level war.

At this point, they just sought a space where they could live peacefully, not caring about anything else.

Soon, word spread in this area that Gu Qijue was willing to accept ordinary refugees.

A large number of refugees began trying every way possible to get to this place.

Their forlorn eyes once again sparkled with a glimmer of hope.

Not far from here, there is a planet called Green Pearl.

Though the Green Pearl Star is green, it has no plants or any native life forms.

On the Green Pearl Star, there are large quantities of highly radioactive ores.

The purpose of these ores is unknown and extremely dangerous, so no one is interested in the Green Pearl Star.

There are also idle people who tried using a Cluster Star Annihilation Cannon to destroy the Green Pearl Star.

Yet this planet remained resilient, even under bombardment by the Cluster Star Annihilation Cannon, it wasn't significantly damaged.

Of course, no one might imagine it; the Green Pearl Star wasn't a natural planet but an artificial one.

The interior of the Green Pearl Star is one of the bases of Lingmi.

This base not only has the severely injured Lingmi but also the equally gravely injured HyunA.

Lingmi is the lead scientist in space technology for the Celestial Essence Star Cluster Civilization.

HyunA is the lead scientist in weapons for the Celestial Essence Star Cluster Civilization.

Previously, these two women were enemies like water and fire.

But when civilization fell, they could only rely on each other.

In front of HyunA was a virtual screen.

On this virtual screen was the surveillance footage of the edge regions of the Celestial Essence Star Cluster Civilization.

After watching for a moment, HyunA involuntarily exclaimed softly.

Lingmi glanced at her and asked, "What happened?"

HyunA pointed at the virtual screen and said, "People from the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster are taking in ordinary refugees."

"Oh." Lingmi acknowledged lightly.

But she quickly realized something was wrong: "Did you say someone is accepting ordinary refugees?"

HyunA nodded affirmatively: "A number of ordinary refugees have already boarded his starship."

"There is no information about this person in the database, only that he is from the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster."

"What do you think he's taking in ordinary refugees for?"

Lingmi didn't answer directly but said, "I'll let our outside people investigate who this person is."

Both Lingmi and HyunA have subordinates operating outside.

But these subordinates do not know the exact location of Lingmi and HyunA.

After Lingmi gave the orders, her agents outside immediately went to investigate.

The results of the investigation came out quickly.

Once Lingmi received the results, she could answer HyunA's earlier question.

"This person is named Gu Qijue, the Supreme Leader of the Infinite Empire in the Vermilion Bird Star Cluster and Desolate Star System."

"The Desolate Star System severely lacks intelligent life, so he is accepting refugees."

"Should we pretend to be refugees and follow them to take a look?"

HyunA nodded immediately: "I suspect this person's intentions are not pure!"

"Let's follow them and see; if he has other motives, we'll find a chance to deal with him."

"If he is indeed as he says, we will find a way to recover from our injuries in the Desolate Star System."

"Continuing to hide here isn't a long-term solution."

"If those four star cluster-level civilization people find us, we probably won't escape this time."

After listening to HyunA, Lingmi could only nod in agreement.

Without further delay, they began to disguise themselves, and after preparing, they stepped into a spatial teleportation light gate.

The next moment, they appeared inside a battered civilian spacecraft.

It appeared that they were just ordinary refugees.

Of the eleven starships Gu Qijue brought, aside from the flagship, all the other starships were already at capacity.

However, seeing not too few or too many refugees left, he immediately decided to use the flagship to transport some refugees back.

HyunA and Lingmi, mingling among the refugees, naturally seized the opportunity to board Gu Qijue's flagship.

After everyone boarded the flagship, the enormous fleet began to ascend.

These titanic vessels soon penetrated the thin atmosphere of this planet, reaching outer space.

Gu Qijue's voice echoed across all the starships in the fleet.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to proceed to the Infinite Empire."

"Once you arrive in the Infinite Empire, you will become my subjects."

"You can use the intelligent equipment on the starship to access information about the Infinite Empire and the Desolate Star System."

"During starship flight, if anyone encounters a special situation, you may seek help from the surrounding mechanical life."

After speaking, he said no more.

He did not know whether his high-profile acceptance of refugees was noticed by Lingmi.

Accepting refugees was not overly important to him.

His real objective was to catch a big fish.
