931 – Arrival At The Star
TL: BluVerse

Lan Xuanyu and his team had already retrieved the coordinates of the star. Based on its location, the nearest cosmic fleet would need about seven days to reach it. Therefore, as long as Lan Xuanyu and the god-level powerhouses could arrive within those seven days, they could begin the rescue operation immediately.

Undoubtedly, this was the best possible scenario, with almost no time lost.

After receiving this good news, Lan Xuanyu felt rejuvenated. He immediately shared the news with his companions and with Tang Le.

When he went to Ying Luohong’s office again, she was already waiting for him and shared the same news. She also informed him that Pavilion Master Wang had returned.

This time, Elder Yi and Pavilion Master Wang would accompany him from the academy. Due to his weakened life force and the harsh environment of the star, Elder Shu, who had plant attributes, would not be able to join them.

From the Tang Sect, Lan Xuanyu received a notification from Tang Miao. The Hall Master of the Douluo Hall, Meng Fei, and Tang Miao himself would accompany him on the rescue mission.

There was no need for Lan Xuanyu to plead individually; Shrek Academy and Tang Sect had given him their fullest support.

It is said that true feelings are revealed in times of adversity. When trouble arises, you learn who truly cares for you. Despite his ongoing anxiety over Nana, Lan Xuanyu felt a warm sense of support.

He silently vowed to remember these kindnesses.

In the future, he aimed to become stronger and to be someone who could help others. This world was warm to him, so he wished to contribute his own warmth to the world.

The rescue team decided to travel on a warship belonging to the War God Temple. The War God Temple’s War God Seventeen warship would take them to their destination, departing in one day.

The students of the Star Wars Experimental Class expressed their desire to join the mission, but Lan Xuanyu refused. They had just completed their graduation exams and were exhausted, needing rest while waiting for their final results. Additionally, their current strength would not be of much help. Lan Xuanyu’s participation was crucial due to his connection with Nana, which would aid in the search.

Thus, it was decided that Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu would accompany the god-level powerhouses.

The god-level powerhouses on this rescue mission included Tang Le, Elder Yi, Yu Mucheng, Meng Fei, and the great god-level powerhouse Wang Tianyu.

This lineup represented nearly half of the true god-level powerhouses in the Federation. Even if they encountered the leader of the Dragon Horse Galaxy, Tianlong, they would stand a fighting chance. Of course, Tang Le was not officially listed among the Federation’s god-level powerhouses.

Such a formidable team filled Lan Xuanyu with confidence. He was certain that Teacher Nana was still alive, and they would definitely rescue her.

There wasn’t much to prepare, so Lan Xuanyu rested for a full day. The next day, at the appointed time, they gathered at the Shrek City Space Center and boarded the War God Seventeen for departure!

The War God Seventeen was a Meteor-class assault warship, exceptionally well-equipped. As a vessel belonging to the War God Temple, it was armed to the teeth with the Federation’s highest technology, sparing no expense.

The warship had ample space inside, including a dedicated rest area.

The six god-level powerhouses sat in the front, with Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu sitting behind them. Given the ship’s speed, it would only take them four and a half days to reach their destination.

Among the six god-level powerhouses, Tang Le sat on the edge, drawing the most attention from the other five. Over the past two days, information about him had naturally made its way to the War God Temple.

When Yu Mucheng discovered that Tang Le was the Federation’s top celebrity, his jaw nearly hit the floor.

Since when were celebrities also true gods? It was beyond unbelievable.

Tang Sect’s two god-level powerhouses felt similarly astounded. Only those from Shrek Academy were already aware of this situation.

Yu Mucheng was most curious about Tang Le’s origins. A true god-level powerhouse couldn’t just appear out of thin air, yet there was no record of Tang Le. Investigations revealed only that Le Qingling had found him in the sea. He had lost his memory when found, and under Le Qingling’s suggestion, he had become a celebrity, rising to fame unexpectedly.

Tang Le seemed unfazed by the attention, sitting quietly with his eyes closed, resting.

Since meeting Nana, he had felt hints of his memory returning. After a few bouts of severe headaches, he vaguely sensed something.

After meeting that mysterious woman, the feeling grew stronger. Although he didn’t understand why the woman in black claimed to have loved him for ten thousand years—whether it was an exaggeration or held some deeper meaning—he felt that rescuing Nana might help him uncover this mystery and perhaps restore his memory.

Initially, he hadn’t been concerned about his lost memories, as his current life was good. But after meeting Nana, he genuinely wanted to regain his memory, especially those involving her.

The six god-level powerhouses remained silent. For individuals of their cultivation level, meditating for several days was perfectly normal.

Wang Tianyu didn’t look well. Although his injuries had mostly healed, the blow he took that day was considerable. He had faced the opponent’s full-force attack head-on. Since becoming a god-level powerhouse, he had never been so battered, not even by other true gods. This experience reignited his competitive spirit, which he couldn’t accept.

His respect for Nana’s strength grew. He couldn’t withstand even one strike from their opponent, yet Nana not only blocked the attack but also saved all the members of Thirty-Three Sky Wings and the entire Star Wars Experimental Class. Even among true gods, her abilities must be considered top-tier.

Bai Xiuxiu nestled close to Lan Xuanyu, holding his hand. This incident was undoubtedly a severe blow to them, but it also deepened their bond, forged in shared adversity. At least in front of others, Bai Xiuxiu no longer felt shy about showing her affection for Lan Xuanyu.

She wanted to ask Lan Xuanyu about what Nana had said that day—why did she suggest she might be his mother? After all, Bai Xiuxiu had met Lan Xuanyu’s parents. However, she couldn’t bring herself to ask until Nana was safely rescued.

With Bai Xiuxiu by his side, Lan Xuanyu felt much more composed. He began to mentally plan the rescue mission.

Time passed in relative silence. Four and a half days later, they saw the distant star appear once more in their view.

As Lan Xuanyu looked out the porthole and saw the star again, he immediately stood up, his fists clenched tightly.

Beside him, Bai Xiuxiu instinctively grasped the necklace with the silver scale Nana had given her.

After all the effort they had put in, they had finally reached this point. No matter what it took from now on, Lan Xuanyu was determined. During the journey, he was filled with anticipation. But now, standing near the star, seeing the massive fireball floating in space, his heart began to race.

A persistent question lingered in his mind: Was Teacher Nana really still alive?
