The news that the Flickering World was about to open in the fourth exploration phase swept across the world like a hurricane.
The entire universe had been waiting for this day for far too long. Every Star Field was bustling with activity, and the civilizations and organizations in the various regions were all recruiting.
Apart from the organizations, countless galactic residents were also on the move, eager to travel to the new Star Field. Many people wanted to try their luck and find opportunities to make a fortune or choose a place to settle down.
Countless troops and resources were mobilized, and the dynasty had only confirmed the time. Before the Flickering World was truly opened, so many people and resources would be waiting in the Shattered Star Ring. It was obvious that the Shattered Star Ring would quickly become saturated and bustling.
The birth of a new Star Field would share the population and resources of the entire explored universe. Even the original structure of the various Star Fields would be affected.
A massive wave of immigrants gradually took shape, swarming toward the Flickering World from all directions. Like a new gold rush, the tide of the era swept the living beings forward one after another.
…
The surface of the reddish-brown ore planet was filled with excavation wells. Transport vehicles passed through the collection factories, and prisoners wearing the prison's special miner armor were excavating ores in the ore veins. Streams of industrial waste rose from the various refineries like fingers pointing to the sky.
A deep and gloomy ring-shaped prison sat in a ring-shaped mountain range. The deep galaxy in the sky cast a cold glow on the iron gray walls of the prison.
"Congratulations, you're out of prison."
Stepping out of the line between freedom and imprisonment, even the air filled with industrial waste seemed to have become fresh and sweet. Seeing the usually strict prison guard smile at him, Evans felt as if a lifetime had passed.
The heavy, stuffy, and stinky prison miner armor finally left him. He was only wearing simple clothes and carrying a light suitcase. He could not remember how long it had been since he was so relaxed.
Not far away, a hovering vehicle was parked. This was the prison's shuttle, responsible for transporting prisoners to the spaceport outside the atmosphere. At this time, a man in military uniform was standing beside the vehicle, waving toward this direction with joy on his face.
Although they had not seen each other for many years, Evans could still recognize at a glance that the man in military uniform waiting for him was his childhood friend.
He could not help but laugh. He quickly stepped forward and hugged the other party. Their thick chest muscles collided, making a dull sound.
"I'm here to pick you up. How have you been in prison all these years?"
"Work, eat, and sleep. Every day is the same."
Reuniting after so many years, the two of them were very excited and had almost endless things to talk about.
Evans grabbed his childhood friend's arm and looked him up and down. He sighed and said, "Time really flies. Before I went to prison, you were still a thin and weak kid running around behind me with snot bubbles coming out of your nose. I didn't expect you to become a soldier now."
"You've changed a lot too. Let's not just stand there. Get in the car."
The two of them took a shuttle to the spaceport and took a directional flight. It took them dozens of minutes to arrive at a nearby colonial planet. They walked all the way and chatted happily.
This prison was located on an ore planet that was built around colonial planets. All kinds of prisoners were gathered there, and they all worked as laborers on the ore planet.
When he returned to the bustling city, his childhood friend had already booked a room in a famous hotel. He was treating them to a meal to welcome Evans back.
After being in prison for so many years, Evans had not eaten anything other than nutrition cream for a long time. He wolfed down 80% of the food until he was full.
Holding his bulging stomach, Evans let out a sigh of relief.
This time, his childhood friend took out a box and opened it on the table. Inside was a galactic communicator, translator, and other necessary items. There was also a folded mechanical suit.
"I've prepared everything for you. I've even opened an account for you with 15000 Enas in it."
"I'll take the other things. You can take the Enas back. I don't need them. Working in prison also gives me a small salary. I've saved some money too." Evans waved his hands.
"How can I do that? You saved my life in the past. If not for you, how could I have the life I have now? Please accept my repayment," his childhood friend said loudly.
He had always been grateful to Evans. Back then, in order to protect him, Evans had killed a Super who was doing evil and went to prison because of that.
Superhuman abilities would magnify the dark side of some people. Some people enjoyed the privileges and convenience of Supers but turned around to seek a sense of superiority from ordinary people. They took pleasure in abusing, humiliating, and mocking ordinary people, using their abilities to do evil.
The two of them had once met such a Super, and their lives were threatened. Evans was only an ordinary person, but he managed to find a way to kill that Grade E villain.
His childhood friend had already become a sergeant and had also tested for Super genes, awakening as a Super. However, Evans had tested that he did not have any Super genes and would be an ordinary person for the rest of his life. He had always felt sorry for Evans.
With Evans' abilities, if he also had the talent to become a Super, he would definitely be much stronger than him in the future.
Sigh, this is fate.
"Haha, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't want your money. If we're brothers, don't think about using material things to repay me." Evans smiled and said with a firm attitude.
"If you're willing, you can stay at my house." His childhood friend did not give up.
"You're already married, so I won't disturb you."
"If you want to be a soldier, I can find someone to get rid of your criminal record."
"No need. I'm just an ordinary person. I'll be cannon fodder even if I'm a soldier." Evans knew that he would never become a Super, but he did not care.
He did not have the bad habit of lamenting about the unfairness of fate. The way he saw it, if he had the time to lament, he might as well do more things.
"Then, what do you plan to do in the future?" His childhood friend was helpless.
"Hmm, let's find a job first. We'll talk about the rest later."
Evans picked up his communicator, opened the online channel, and browsed through the recent recruitment information. He was shocked.
The recruitment information was densely packed. No matter which organization it was, the first core requirement was exactly the same.
Job location: Flickering World!
As long as this requirement is met, as long as you are not a wanted criminal, no matter what you do, we want you!
His childhood friend took a look, shook his head, and said, "Some time ago, the Red Empire finally confirmed the opening of the Flickering World to the outside world. The organizations in various regions are wantonly recruiting people willing to go to the Flickering World. The entire universe is bustling."
Evans pursed his lips. In his impression, the concept of the Flickering World was still stuck at the Crimson Tide period. During his time in prison, he had been isolated from the outside world, and the outside world had changed greatly.
Evans looked down at the screen full of recruitment messages and nodded slowly.
"Flickering World … let's go take a look."
…
"It's finally opening."
Star Pupil Protoss, Sisko, stood in front of the window, looking at the night view of the city outside with his seven eyes.
After the Planet Lighthouse incident, he had been keeping a low profile and resting quietly.
After more than a decade, the negative impact of being forced by Han Xiao to hand over the ownership of the Evolution Cube had basically disappeared. He was still a great leader in the eyes of most people.
Although he was very close, because he was an Ethereal person, he could only watch as Black Star and the Tyrant took the initiative in the Flickering World. Sisko was both envious and impatient. He had been waiting for this day for a very long time, and he also wanted to have a share of the pie.
The way he saw it, the Flickering World was also an opportunity for the Star Pupil Protoss. They were restricted everywhere in the Shattered Star Ring, and this situation would only worsen with the expansion of Black Star and the Tyrant. He had no choice but to open up a new path for the Star Pupil Protoss.
This way, the Arcane Church would have an excuse to intervene and support him, obtaining more benefits in the Flickering World. The Star Pupil Protoss would also benefit greatly.
Thinking of the past, Han Xiao's figure could not help but appear in Sisko's mind.
"Black Star … he has also been silent for more than a decade. It seems like after reaching the peak of the Beyond Grade A level, he also stopped moving forward …"
