The tip of the spire almost reached the surface of the Moon!

Even more shocking was when Zhou Qi's Mental Perception's "wide-angle" view pulled back.

Zhou Qi "saw" that around this massive underground spire, deep within the lunar crust, like satellites, seven other slightly smaller but similarly structured spire ruins were guarding it!

Together, they formed a huge, deeply buried array centered around the main spire!

And at the deepest part of the main spire's base, the source of the energy pulsation—a giant energy core, about one kilometer in diameter, slowly rotating and flowing like liquid gold!

The energy fluctuations it emitted were ancient, vast, and carried an indescribable spatial attribute!

It was precisely the "heart" of the entire array!

Above the surface:

When Zhou Qi's Mental Energy refocused on the surface, the scene before him was equally breathtaking.

The tip of the central spire, which "pierced" the lunar surface, was mostly buried by lunar soil, but the exposed part still rose hundreds of meters, pointing directly into deep space.

And in the relatively flat area around the spire, the density of giant ship wreckage fragments, far exceeding that on the front, was scattered everywhere as if ploughed.

These fragments were more scorched, twisted, and broken, many even deeply embedded into the lunar soil and rock layers by immense force, forming impact points like meteorite craters.

Scorch marks, melted metal, massive penetrating wounds… This was the main battlefield of that ancient interstellar war.

A world-ending war that likely occurred in lunar orbit, where one fleet was utterly defeated, and its wreckage rained down on the far side of the Moon!

The tip of the central spire.

Under Zhou Qi's careful Mental Energy scan, he finally discovered some differences—it was not completely smooth.

Vaguely visible were remnants of some huge, ring-shaped structures similar to "berths" or "docking rings."

As well as interfaces of some already broken, incredibly thick "cables" or "energy conduits" scattered on the edge of the spire's top platform (which was already buried).

"This isn't just a simple tower…"

Zhou Qi stood on the cold lunar soil, gazing up at the silhouette of the spire piercing the darkness, and even his planetary-level will felt a hint of solemnity.

"This is a colossal energy hub buried deep underground… an unimaginably ancient interstellar port core! Those rings… are mooring points for starships!"

The darkness on the far side of the Moon now seemed to transform into a giant maw devouring everything.

The scale and potential danger of the secrets buried here far exceeded those on the front!

Was this deeply buried starport core, possibly connected to an unknown Star Domain, a gateway to an endless Treasure Trove, or a key to awakening some slumbering Universal nightmare?

Zhou Qi stood on the edge of the giant crater on the far side of the Moon, his Mental Perception like an invisible tide, washing over this silent and ancient battlefield beneath his feet again and again.

The giant starport hub buried deep underground, the wreckage of giant ships shattered like the corpses of stars, and the remaining berth interfaces at the tip of the central spire…

All of this far exceeded any vassal war he had experienced before; it was a truly epic chapter spanning the star seas, the ultimate stage where technology and power collided.

His mind was momentarily in a daze.

Accustomed to the dull thud of Zerg ripping through carapaces, the sharp shriek of energy breaths scorching the air, and the tremor of Mental impacts shaking the Soul, this cold, grand, and suffocatingly precise ruin brought a different dimension of impact.

This was not a close-quarters battle, but a cosmic-scale aesthetic of violence, a destructive poem written jointly by time and space.

Those twisted metal remnants silently spoke of past confrontations capable of tearing apart stars, their intensity far exceeding the limits his current vassals could achieve.

"Hoo…"

Zhou Qi took a deep breath of non-existent air, his planetary-level Mental Energy washing over his Sea of Consciousness like an ice spring, forcibly suppressing that hint of unpreparedness when facing the legacy of an unknown advanced civilization.

"Just wreckage! No matter how grand, it's all in the past!"

His planetary-level Mental Energy was like ice water, instantly extinguishing that sense of insignificance when facing the legacy of an advanced civilization.

Zhou Qi's eyes burned with fervent fighting spirit!

Golden Emperor's stellar breath, the Ant Queen's biological force field, Flying Thunder Centipede's destructive thunder storm…

Which of his planetary-level vassals didn't possess the power to tear apart asteroids?

He commanded the resources and wisdom of three Worlds: Blue Star, Earth's Core, and Iron-Blood World!

These ruins were merely stepping stones for the Zerg's next leap!

"It's all mine!"

Zhou Qi let out a low roar, no longer hesitating in the slightest.

His planetary-level Mental Power was unleashed without reservation, surging out like a breached stellar river!

No longer exploring.

But plundering!

Efficient, precise, and brutal!

Buzz—!

Space violently twisted and groaned!

The invisible Mental Power field transformed into billions of invisible giant hands, precisely grabbing all high-value targets within sight—a huge bridge armor plate shimmering with a peculiar cold light and covered in energy circuits;

A twisted and broken section of an engine nozzle, but with internal structures as intricate as artwork, exceeding ten meters in diameter;

A large structural component covered with flowing geometric patterns;

Even fragmented ring-shaped berth pieces with obvious energy interfaces that had fallen from the top of the central spire…

Mental Power acted like the most efficient sieve, stripping substances containing special energy reactions, unique Materials, or complex structures from ordinary lunar rock, powerfully compressing them into one giant "material sphere" after another, enveloped by Mental Power.

The Evolution Space's 1600-meter radius was pushed to its limit; each spatial transfer was accompanied by the disappearance of matter as heavy as mountains.

Ten times…

Fifteen times…

Twenty times…

Zhou Qi's figure flickered rapidly across this vast ruin on the far side of the Moon; each pause created a "vacuum" in an area.

Giant wreckage fragments were erased as if by an invisible eraser, leaving only smooth-edged, dozens of meters deep, huge depressions.

The entire transportation process lasted more than twenty spatial jumps, each time taking away tens of thousands of tons of "Treasure Trove."

When the last fragment of a control panel embedded with a large crystal disappeared into the Evolution Space, Zhou Qi stopped moving.

He hovered above the crater that had just been "cleaned out," his Mental Perception scanning the now empty lunar surface.

The moment the transportation was completed, a cold, bone-chillingly intense tremor, originating from the depths of his Soul, exploded without warning!

It wasn't from Blue Star!

Nor was it from the Moon beneath his feet!

The direction was clear and unmistakable—straight ahead, deep in the Universe, pointing directly at Blue Star!

Zhou Qi suddenly looked up, his planetary-level perception like two sharp swords, instantly piercing tens of thousands of kilometers of the Void Realm!

The next second, his pupils suddenly contracted!

"Damn it!"

A low curse echoed on the Mental plane.

He saw it—a massive, irregular celestial body!
