Visibly beneath her paper-white skin, golden veins emerged and flowed like living creatures! In wounds deep enough to see the bone, flesh and blood wriggled, grew, and healed at an incredible speed! Broken bones were enveloped and reshaped by golden energy! Even the long-extinguished emerald mark between her brows was stained by this pure gold, transforming into a brand burning with blazing golden flames!

The dormant plant network within her body, infused with this planet's source energy, was instantly strengthened and expanded a billion-fold! Her consciousness was no longer confined to herself, but extended and encompassed the golden root network that spread madly deep within the earth's core at the speed of light!

She "saw" it!

"See" deep in the center of the earth, the core roots that stand tall like a giant golden tree, flowing with surging life energy!

I saw a network of roots like golden veins, spreading upward, connecting the entire planet's earth veins! Inside dormant volcanoes, the magma was stained a warm golden color; at the bottom of deep ocean trenches, ocean currents carried golden light; at the core of ancient mountain ranges, golden vitality flowed through the veins of the rocks...

"Seeing" the planet's surface! Beneath the dead, withered earth, covered in mycelium, countless plant roots, long presumed dead, seemed to be infused with a miraculous power the moment the golden vein's energy arrived! The withered roots frantically sprouted new shoots, piercing the decaying mycelium at a speed visible to the naked eye, piercing the hard crust, and striving to grow towards the long-lost sky and sunlight...! Faint, yet tenacious, patches of new green, like sparks of fire, broke through the earth's devastated surface across Gaia!

She even... vaguely "saw" outside the planet!

That cold, metallic fleet! That ferocious flagship, its belly gleaming with a destructive, dark blue light! And... suspended in the chaotic storm ahead of the flagship, that familiar yet unfamiliar figure, clutching its head and trembling violently, locked in countless deadly beams...!

Pei Du!

He's still alive! But he's in crisis!

An indescribable mixture of ecstasy, heartache, and devastating rage erupted like a tsunami within Xu Shuangyao's reshaped consciousness! This emotion resonated throughout the entire planet's golden vein network! At this moment, Gaia's planetary will was completely synchronized with her guardian!

"Gravekeeper!!!"

A roar that is not emitted by the vocal cords, but is composed of the vibration of the entire planet's earth veins and the swaying of billions of new plants. It is filled with endless rage and protective will, and it faintly echoes in the depths of the earth, on the surface of the planet, and even in the cold void of the universe!

Gravekeeper Fleet, bridge of the main ship "Ring of Judgment".

The countdown to destruction has reached zero! [00:00:00]

"Light of purification! Fire!" The commander's cold voice fell like the blade of a guillotine!

The high-level executor pressed the scarlet button hard with his armored fingers!

Buzz——!!!!

A torrent of dark blue energy, its terror indescribable, erupted from the massive port on the belly of the "Ring of Judgment" main ship, like a spear of judgment hurled by a giant cosmic god! The beam, tens of kilometers thick, forcibly ripped and distorted space wherever it passed, leaving behind dark scars that would last forever! The devastating energy surge shook every Gravekeeper ship on the battlefield! Its target was the geocentric coordinates of Gaia!

This blow will completely penetrate the planet, destroying the newly rekindled fire deep in the earth's core, the guardian, and the future of the entire planet... all at once!

At the same moment when the destructive beam exploded!

Pei Du, forcibly suppressed by the Sentinel data stream and caught in a violent conflict of consciousness, suddenly exploded an unprecedented alarm from within the planet in the scarlet data waterfall in his right eye:

[Warning! An extraordinary life energy reaction has been detected in Gaia's core! Energy level: Stellar!]

[Feature Match: Gaia's Seed! The Core Will of the Planet!]

[Status: Fully awake! Guardian's vital signs... rapidly rising! Verdict: Life link complete! Incarnation of the planet's will!]

[Threat Source: Gravekeeper Main Cannon Attack! Energy Track Locked! Threat Level: Extinction Level!]

Xu Shuangyao! Alive! And... fused with the planet's will?!

This sudden and subversive information, like the most violent lightning, fiercely split the cold and suppressive shackles of the sentinel logic in Pei Du's consciousness!

“Get out of here—!!!”

Deep within the dark vortex of his left eye, that icy light of stardust order, mixed with Pei Du's suppressed rage and his ecstasy at Xu Shuangyao's safety, erupted with a bang! Like a supernova, it instantly shattered the data chains of the right eye's sentinel logic!

The restraints were lifted! The power returned! Even... under the resonance of the planet's will, it became more violent than ever!

Pei Du suddenly looked up! The dark vortex in his left eye spun wildly, locked onto the destructive beam that had just left the launch port and was tearing through space towards Gaia! The scarlet data stream in his right eye instantly provided an interception path accurate to the millisecond!

"You...don't even think about it!!!"

A roar mixed with the majesty of stardust and the rage of humanity exploded!

Pei Du's figure disappeared instantly!

It wasn't a space jump, but a pure speed that surpassed the limits of physics! The Void's right arm, covered with dark green spatial patterns, slashed fiercely in front!

Hiss——!

A long and narrow space crack with a dark aura of annihilation burning on its edge was instantly formed!

His figure disappeared into the crack like a ghost, and one thousandth of a second later, he tore through space and stepped out from in front of the torrent of destructive light beams - less than a kilometer away - with incredible precision!
