Not a trace of life remained, no wailing of remains, not even the faintest tick of an instrument, and even the emergency lights were completely extinguished.

There was only eternal cold, suspended dust, a solidified disaster scene, and a faint, ethereal azure energy pulsation, as if from the depths of Hell.

Everything that happened here seemed to have frozen and forgotten even “death” itself.

“An interstellar war… a destructive collision between advanced civilizations… one side completely annihilated here.”

Zhou Qi’s Mental Perception swept over every inch of space, imprinting all the details he saw and perceived, like a high-precision scanner, deep into his consciousness.

The technology here, even just the remnants, was far more valuable than anything gained from the Iron-Blood World!

He had to take it!

He no longer delayed.

Vast Mental Power, like an invisible giant net, instantly enveloped the massive, broken main structure of the giant ship, along with the valuable large fragments around it, firmly securing them.

At the same time, his Divine Thought stirred.

An evolution origin point was precisely placed in the lunar soil beneath his feet, and a faint azure halo gently spread.

The next moment, space violently twisted and fluctuated!

Zhou Qi’s figure, along with the mountain-like remains of the giant ship, instantly vanished from the lunar surface, as if wiped away by an invisible giant hand!

All that remained was a huge, mirror-smooth crater, and moon dust flying everywhere, lingering in the air.

Iron-Blood World · Zerg Main Base

In the center of the vast steel plaza, space rippled violently like water!

Accompanied by a low hum, as if space itself was groaning, the remains of the giant ship from the moon appeared with a crash!

It heavily slammed onto the specially designed energy buffer platform, letting out a dull thud that caused the entire plaza to tremble!

Cold Universe dust fell from its body with a rustling sound.

Almost simultaneously with the giant ship’s landing, Zhou Qi’s figure reappeared.

This time, his Mental Power, like the hand of a giant god moving a planet, “uprooted” the even larger, half-buried pyramid-shaped main structure from the lunar surface as well!

The tough energy barrier surrounding the pyramid fiercely collided with Zhou Qi’s Mental Power during the spatial transfer, erupting in dazzling azure electrical arcs and emitting a grating sizzling sound.

But ultimately, it could not resist the might of a planetary level!

With a thunderous boom, this black obelisk, emanating an ancient, mysterious, and cold aura, landed steadily beside the giant ship’s remains, its base deeply embedded in the steel platform.

The two ancient relics from the moon, like two silent tombstones, or two sealed treasure vaults, stood under the reddish-brown sky of the Iron-Blood World, emitting vastly different yet equally heart-pounding auras.

The entire Zerg main base was instantly ignited!

The harsh alarm sound was instantly suppressed by Zhou Qi, replaced by cold directives that directly resonated through the Mental Network to the cores of all relevant units:

【Dominator Will】

Objective: Analyze ancient ruins.

Executor: Highest Scientific Research Sequence Units.

Resources: Unlimited Authority.

Time Limit: Unlimited.

Priority: Above All Else!

Uka’s massive Dragon body soared from the distant command tower, letting out an earth-shattering Dragon roar, summoning all engineering units;

Chronos led the most elite Lizardmen engineering team, carrying cutting and scanning equipment glowing with energy, rushing forward;

The Yi Serpent Person technical team commanded by Eris appeared like ghosts at the edge of the ruins, their compound eyes flashing with data analysis lights;

The naturalized engineers of the Iron-Blood World brought their unique tools for perceiving alien Materials;

A team of top scientists composed of Parasite and free people from various groups, carrying precise analysis instruments, quickly arrived at the scene.

The elite of each race instantly began efficient, fervent, yet orderly work around the two ruins.

Giant engineering mechanical arms carefully moved across the surface of the ruins, high-energy cutting beams cautiously attempted to peel off a small piece of ship fragment, and complex scanning beams probed the pyramid’s energy barrier like tentacles…

Zhou Qi hovered high in the sky, watching the scene below, busy like a precise ant colony, as if admiring a piece of art about to be deciphered.

He left clear research direction directives: The giant ship should focus on analyzing its Material composition, power System remnants, weapon traces, and internal biomechanical structure;

The pyramid should focus on fully deciphering its energy barrier, internal structure, and pattern information.

Any abnormality, report immediately!

Without lingering, Zhou Qi’s figure once again disappeared from the Iron-Blood World.

This time, he did not stop, directly soaring into the air, his Mental Power like a radar, scanning the entire surface of the moon.

Soon, he stopped at one location.

Moon · Far Side · Edge of the Aitken Basin

This time, Zhou Qi appeared directly on the far side of the moon, in the desolate area shrouded in eternal darkness.

There was no glow reflected from Earth, only faint starlight and deep space background radiation outlining the jagged contours of the craters.

Planetary-level perception, like an invisible tide, scanned this area, rarely visited even by probes, with unprecedented precision.

He maintained a low-altitude glide, not fast, his Mental Power like the most precise probe, delving deep beneath the lunar soil, analyzing structures, and capturing the most subtle energy ripples.

Silence remained the main theme.

But Zhou Qi knew that the deepest secrets were often hidden beneath the surface calm.

About an hour later, his perception suddenly “touched” an anomalous area!

It was in a huge crater, over three hundred kilometers in diameter, at the edge of the central peak area, a relatively flat region.

The anomaly did not come from the surface, but from deep underground!

An extremely faint, yet unusually stable, deep, and ancient rhythmic energy pulsation penetrated the thick lunar crust and rock layers, reaching Zhou Qi’s perception!

The source of this pulsation was more than ten times stronger than the core of the pyramid barrier he had perceived on the near side!

Moreover, it was not defensive, but more like… the beating of a sleeping heart?

Zhou Qi immediately landed directly above the perceived energy source.

Beneath his feet were thick lunar soil and rock layers.

He concentrated, and his planetary-level Mental Power, like an invisible drill, forcibly “x-rayed” downwards!

Penetrating tens of kilometers of lunar crust Material… the image gradually became clear in his mental vision:

A massive, octagonal base deeply buried within the lunar crust!

Its Material was exactly the same as the pyramid on the near side, covered with faint geometric patterns!

The scale of the base far exceeded the pyramid found on the near side, with an initial estimated side length of over five kilometers!

And at the center of this massive base, a spire-like structure extended upwards, piercing through the lunar crust and into the lunar mantle!

The tip of the spire almost reached the lunar surface!
