The blue planet Earth continues along its orbital path, starlight radiating in all directions, illuminating the entire Solar System in a vast, sweeping glow.
This is an extremely remote planetary system; without precise coordinates, Buyuli would have found it almost impossible to locate.
However—
Buyuli managed to reach the Solar System, piloting his milky‑white warp‑transport ship into the gravitational field of the blue life planet, but no matter what he tried, he could not approach it in the slightest.
Because the cyan star‑river severed the ages!
Pure cyan Starlight‑tier power surged forth, blocking the way ahead—vast and boundless, as if its end could not be seen.
“A Starlight‑tier lifeform—my heavens.”
Buyuli held his breath. In his entire life, he had never personally encountered such a noble Starlight‑tier lifeform.
He watched with wide eyes as a point of starlight ignited, its ethereal, majestic aura resembling an eternal star‑river, stretching horizontally between the warp‑transport and the blue planet Earth, dividing the cold, silent expanse of outer space as if cleaving it in two.
Utterly terrifying!
Supremely noble!
Most crucial of all, the cyan starlight soared up in an instant—so grand it was almost overwhelming, as if a single spark of starlight could stir the endless void, conjure wild cosmic waves, and transform silence into a long, surging river.
All was silent, the air thick with the awe‑inspiring majesty of the Starlight Tier.
“Gulp.”
Buyuli quietly swallowed his saliva.
The warp‑transport ship he piloted was milky‑white on the outside, but its interior leaned toward warm colors—after all, interstellar travel exposed one to so much white that it could easily cause mental fatigue.
Just then—
A voice in universal cosmic lingua franca, spoken by Andrew Han, echoed throughout the warm‑toned cabin, using the warp‑transport ship as a conduit.
“Yes, yes—your delivery.”
Buyuli’s eyelids twitched as he instinctively replied.
Inside the cabin, the warm hues seemed so dim before the cyan glow... After some anxious fussing, Buyuli nervously invited Andrew Han aboard the transport ship.
...
At the cabin entrance—
Andrew Han, clad in his Green Mountain Robe, stepped inside as the glass door slid upward.
Buyuli hurried forward and, following standard protocol, bowed slightly: “Honored Starlight‑tier lifeform, I am Buyuli, courier of Comet Express, Chenriver Empire Eastern Division, Sub‑Center No. 697023. I pay my respects.”
“Mm, I am Andrew Han.” Han’s voice was firm and clear, succinct and direct.
Andrew Han’s conduct was always crisp and decisive—he rarely spoke unnecessarily, and when he did, he never rambled.
Hearing such perfectly enunciated, accent‑free cosmic lingua franca, Buyuli was visibly stunned. “Lord Han, please follow me.”
Clearly—
This Starlight‑tier lifeform did not want the warp‑transport ship to land on the blue planet.
“It’s only natural to be cautious during first contact with the cosmos,” Buyuli thought, fully understanding Andrew Han’s vigilance.
“What is this?”
If you don’t understand, ask—Andrew Han, his expression calm, pointed to the nearby cluster of boxes.
The boxes resembled blue gemstones—about nine hundred in total—stacked nearby, each radiating a faint but immense energy from within.
Even the warp‑transport ship had never seen such things... Buyuli grew even more respectful, explaining with utmost deference: “These are our oxygen and food reserves. One box is enough for a single cargo run.”
“Oh?”
Andrew Han, intrigued, brushed the dust from his Green Mountain Robe.
In ancient China, there were legends of the Fasting Pill, said to let one go half a month without food. Could it be that the energy inside these blue gemstone boxes had the same effect?
“I was overthinking it.” Andrew Han probed more closely and quietly sighed in relief. “With such faint energy, even ten or twenty thousand more would be harmless.”
Immediately after, he looked ahead at a passageway.
This was Earth’s first contact with the cosmos—Andrew Han had to ensure absolute safety, allowing no room for mishap. That was why he boarded the warp‑transport ship to inspect the situation firsthand.
Of course—
Bailey had already confirmed there was no danger; that was part of the reason as well.
“Interesting, this passage seems filled with liquid air.” Andrew Han made no attempt to hide his curiosity; his vigilance had eased somewhat.
Meanwhile, Buyuli was trembling with nerves.
He only wanted to deliver the package, but upon arriving at the blue planet, Buyuli had nearly collapsed from fear... The majesty of a Starlight‑tier being was truly terrifying—he didn’t want to admit his legs were shaking.
That vast, mighty star‑river—its colors so vivid, its power so boundless—was burned deep into Buyuli’s memory, impossible to forget.
“I can say with certainty—”
“This Andrew Han, this Starlight‑tier lifeform, has probably never left this star system. Otherwise, how could he not recognize a warp‑transport ship?” The more Buyuli thought about it, the more shocked he became, chills running down his spine.
Fortunately, Andrew Han was human.
Otherwise, Buyuli feared he’d be so weak‑kneed and dizzy he could barely breathe.
After all, the blue planet was so remote; any native Starlight‑tier lifeform must have advanced purely by innate talent, making their temperament almost impossible to predict.
Clack, clack.
Buyuli’s silver shoes rang crisply as he walked.
With utmost respect, Buyuli glanced at Andrew Han and pointed to either side: “This is the diamond‑fusion passageway. It’s filled with liquid to eliminate bacteria and other microorganisms. Along both sides are the warp‑travel energy modules.”
“Mm.” Andrew Han glanced at Buyuli, scanning the surroundings for anything that might threaten Earth. “So this is a faster‑than‑light starship? Such a tiny thing can cross countless light‑years just to deliver my order.”
At least, to Andrew Han, it really wasn’t that big.
Any high‑grade giant beast would dwarf the transport ship... Of course, ‘not big’ was relative—the warp‑transport was actually far larger than any aircraft carrier on Earth.
The vastness of the cosmos meant there were countless powerful beings—not all were so terrifying.
For instance, the young man before him, whose skin was normally pink but flushed red with strong emotion, was at most a high Martial Lord tier.
