Elder Nute of the Noel Clan also wore an extremely grim expression. He unconsciously clenched his fist, muttering under his breath, his tone carrying suppressed wrath.

"Spawns..."

Onboard the ship, the other members of the Noel Clan who traveled with him also showed resentment on their faces.

They had not expected that the spawns would actually choose to go this far.

Leaving absolutely no way out!

After forcefully searching the ship and failing to find any trace of Fang Heng, they had even directly blasted Planet V-29 apart!

Amidst the silence, a staff member who received a communication message from headquarters broke the stillness and whispered, "Captain, the Shadow Clan and the Blue Lizard Clan have finished searching the ship and are waiting outside to request an audience."

"Let them in."

The elder of the Blue Lizard Clan entered the ship, surrounded by his people.

The captain of the Noel Clan looked at them coldly and said, "I heard you have already finished your search. How is it? Did you find any clues?"

A high-ranking leader of the Shadow Clan, who had been authorized by the spawns to take charge of the search mission, stepped forward with a flattering smile, "Of course, we trust the Noel Clan... indeed, we did not find any trace of Fang Heng..."

The captain cut him off coldly and asked, "So we can leave now?"

"Not quite. Although Fang Heng was not aboard the ship, we did detect a high concentration of Black Fog aura and the aura of the Seed of Ouroboros on some of your crew."

"Absurd!" Ronny shouted angrily. "You just saw it yourself, the entire world was filled with the aura of the Black Fog. My crew fought against the Seed of Ouroboros, and in the course of battle, they picked up the aura. Isn't that normal?"

"Haha, indeed, please don't be angry, Captain Ronny," the Shadow Clan leader said with forced laughter. "But how do you explain the Black Fog aura then?"

"What Black Fog? I don't know what you are talking about."

The Shadow Clan leader kept his smile, "To ensure your safety and to prevent the Black Fog aura from leaking out, we need to carry out harmless disposal of some of the ships affected by the Black Fog, and we also need to isolate and investigate the crew members affected..."

Ronny stared at the Shadow Clan coldly, a flicker of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"You want to detain my people?"

The Shadow Clan leader's heart skipped a beat. At once, a chill rose inside him, but he forced himself to stay composed and replied firmly, "This is an order from the spawns. We are merely carrying it out."

"I will remember you, Shadow Clan. You are quite something. I don't know if, after I return, the Noel Clan will completely break with the spawns or even go to war because of this. But I can give you one promise right now, you Shadow Clan will definitely regret this decision."

Faced with the threat from the Noel Clan, cold sweat instantly formed on the Shadow Clan leader's forehead.

The Noel Clan had always appeared outwardly amiable, to the point that people had nearly forgotten—they were also one of the seven dominant forces of the star domain, with an ancient inheritance even older than the spawns.

"Sorry, I..."

Suddenly, the Shadow Clan leader felt his words stick in his throat. At the same time, fine blue markings appeared on his skin.

"Bang!!"

In front of the captain of the Noel Clan, the Shadow Clan leader was abruptly covered in a layer of ice crystals, frozen completely.

Seeing this, the Blue Lizard Clan members immediately surrounded everyone in the main control room.

Ronny swept a cold glance around the room and said icily, "Set sail. Head for star domain V-3382."

The Blue Lizard Clan members exchanged glances, then turned their eyes to their elder.

The elder of the Blue Lizard Clan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head lightly.

In terms of strength alone, they held the absolute advantage.

But...

What the captain of the Noel Clan said was not wrong.

If they truly made a move, whatever happened between the Noel Clan and the spawns in the end, the smaller clans caught between them would undoubtedly be the unluckiest.

If they incurred the Noel Clan's vengeance, would the spawns turn against the Noel Clan to avenge them?

Apart from offending the Noel Clan, if they died, they would die for nothing!

...

In the galaxy.

Because the planet had been completely destroyed, it left behind a field of small shrapnel fragments in space.

A dark vortex condensed.

Wu Yi appeared in the shrapnel domain, collected several suspended cocoons, and then stepped back into the dark vortex, disappearing again.

Five minutes later, Wu Yi returned aboard a small ship.

"These are the things you wanted."

Wu Yi tossed five Seed of Ouroboros cocoons to Fang Heng.

Fang Heng caught them with one hand, and a black fissure quickly appeared in his palm, completely devouring the cocoons.

A cold force swiftly flowed into his body through his palm.

A game hint appeared.

[Hint: The player absorbed Seed of Ouroboros*5. The player's Seed of Ouroboros skill level increased.]

[Hint: The player may choose to absorb Seed of Ouroboros (high-tier complete). Detected that the player has unlocked the creep worm branch and the wormhole branch. The player may choose to consume the cocoon to obtain the modification option-Insect Pouch, or may choose to obtain Seed of Ouroboros experience points.]

Skill: Insect Pouch.

Description: Limited to the creep worm branch for modification. After modification, the creep worm's underside grew a 10x10 storage space, capable of carrying ores, supplies, special materials, etc. (Some special items and living organisms could not be stored inside the pouch).

Description: The creep worm could carry the insect pouch and its contents through wormholes.

Insect Pouch.

An interesting branch skill.

It looked more like an advancement of the creep worm and wormhole branches, allowing creep worms to carry a portion of supplies.

Most importantly, it could pass through wormholes.

It was not outstanding in combat, but as an auxiliary ability, it might have a special effect—for example, transporting ores?

Fang Heng considered for a moment and chose to acquire the Insect Pouch modification.

[Hint: The player obtained special mutation modification-Insect Pouch, consuming 3 mutation slots.]

[Hint: The player's current Seed of Ouroboros level increased to Level 39.]

Fang Heng raised his head and asked, "You only found these?"

"Yes, only these were found in the ruins."

What Wu Yi had collected were all relatively lower-tier cocoons, so after absorbing them all, the Seed of Ouroboros level only rose to level 39.

Fumo's strength was very great, and no cocoon of corresponding power was found among those Wu Yi collected.

It seemed Fumo had not perished in the planetary explosion.

He should, like the Evil Clan, also be able to roam the galaxy.

"It's fine, we can depart now."

"Alright."

Wu Yi nodded and signaled the staff to start the voyage, "Set sail, head for the research institute."

"Understood."

After a brief pause, the ship immediately entered spatial transmission mode, heading for the spawns' secret research institute.

...

In the vast galaxy.

A light transport ship maintained a concealed state, moving slowly through space.

Inside the cabin, Fang Heng paused his cultivation, lifted his head, and looked toward Wu Yi, who had just entered the room, and asked, "How is it? Was the situation outside still stable?"
