Rice wife, outlying island.

"Boss, boss, I bought them! Steambird Newspaper arranged for a lot of people to sell Teacher Xiaoxiao's new work. This time, A-Shou and I bought three copies. You and Sister Ren can each read one, and the rest of us can read one by ourselves."

Genta waved several brand-new copies of "Wandering Blue Star" in his hand and ran towards the "headquarters" of the Ara-Taki faction that Ichidou had built.

"What? Genta, where did you get so much money? I remember that each of your novels is quite expensive."

When Ichidou saw the several copies of "Wandering Blue Star" handed to him by Genta, he was a little confused.

As everyone knows, the Huanglong Sect is notoriously poor. Although it appears to be a gang, the Beggars' Sect is actually richer than them.

Even the props needed for a celebration require the entire gang to pool their money to buy them, and a large portion of that money comes from Hisagi Shinobu.

"Boss, this novel is very cheap, only three thousand Mora, so it only cost nine thousand Mora in total."

Ashou stepped forward and explained.

"Oh, I see. I thought you guys spent my Mora. That was my money for the insect fighting tournament." Ichidou wiped his sweat and let out a long sigh of relief.

“Boss, we used that Mora pen…” Ashou said.

“Yeah, boss, you forgot? When you told us to go buy it, you gave us the last of our funds from the Wilderness Sect. We counted it, and it’s exactly nine thousand Mora,” Genta said.

Ichidou's expression changed instantly, and his voice suddenly rose eight octaves, filled with shock and disbelief: "Wh-what?!"

But seeing the expectant and excited looks in Genta and Ashou's eyes, his heart softened. He sighed deeply and waved his hand, "Never mind, since it's 'Xiaoxiao' teacher's work, this Mora flower isn't wronged. Go and find Sister Ren, let's watch it together."

Genta and Mamoru immediately ran to find Hisaki Shinobu, who was studying hard for her certification exam.

Soon, all the members of the Ara-Taki faction gathered at Ichidou's "headquarters," which was built from broken wooden planks. They sat together and began reading "The Wandering Blue Star."

As we stepped out of the Blue Star engine control room, the scene before us was breathtaking. We were embarking on our next adventure—a journey to the ocean. This marked the beginning of a new era, the end of the age of navigational braking; our thrusters had already caused irreversible damage to Blue Star.

Most cities in the Northern Hemisphere have been swallowed by the tides, and global heatwaves have melted polar glaciers, causing widespread flooding. Standing on the deck, we can even see the tops of sunken skyscrapers.

After two days of traveling west, we finally faced the most terrifying moment—the sunrise.

Humanity's fear of the sun has a long history, dating back to astrophysical predictions three centuries ago.

At the time, scientists predicted that the sun would undergo a helium flash explosion within the next 400 years, transforming into a giant, dim red giant. This catastrophe would evaporate the blue planet and engulf all habitable planets in the solar system.

Seeing this, Coral Palace Heart Sea rested her chin on one hand, pondering and whispering, "I never imagined that the humans in this world were so clever, actually coming up with the idea of ​​moving their entire planet away."

"However, this planet called Blue Star has truly suffered many disasters."

"It's either an invasion by an alien civilization or the impending explosion of the sun on which the galaxy depends, forcing us to flee with our planet."

Mount Sumeru, the path becomes a forest.

Sitting on a tree branch, swaying her long, white legs, Cole was staring intently at the book in her hands.

This book was brought back to her by her master, Tinari, when he went to the market in Sumeru City. He said it was one of the most popular science fiction novels recently, and it was the latest one.

Tinari wanted to teach Corleto, who had been staying in the forest, some knowledge, and this kind of interesting science fiction novel was the perfect book to open the door to his interest in learning. So he bought two books, one for him and one for Corleto.

Cole had only just begun reading when his brain's CPU was already nearly overloaded; he felt like he would explode if he looked at the book in his hands again.

Although the subject matter of the book was novel and eye-catching, the specialized terminology and various settings left Cole, who had never read a science fiction novel before, somewhat bewildered.

"I can't take it anymore, I've reached my limit..."

"The contents of this book are too complicated; I simply can't understand them."

Tina, who was sitting on another tree branch keeping Cole company while he read, looked up at Cole and said, "Cole, be patient. Although the knowledge in this book is different from that in the Church, it's still very interesting, isn't it?"

"Okay, alright, I'll continue reading."

Cole nodded, then turned his gaze back to the book in his hands.

In order to survive, humanity must flee on Earth, and the Federation has devised a five-phase escape plan:

Phase One: The Braking Era. This was an unprecedented feat. Humanity, using massive engines, defied the laws of nature and forcibly halted the ancient rhythm of Earth's rotation. In that instant, night and day lost their meaning of alternation, and every inch of Earth was immersed in an eternal stillness.

Phase Two: The Era of Escape. Filled with fear of the unknown and a desperate desire for survival, humanity single-mindedly unleashed the full potential of its engines. The immense propulsion propelled Earth like a wild horse, breaking free of the solar system's constraints and hurtling towards the vast depths of space. At that moment, countless tears and prayers accompanied the planet's trajectory, streaking across the night sky.

Phase Three: The Pre-Wandering Era. In the boundless universe, Blue Star continued to accelerate, like a lonely shooting star, hurtling towards Pegasus. During this phase, humanity began to adapt to life in the endless void, gazing at the stars with hearts full of longing for a new home.

Phase Four: The Post-Wandering Era. As Earth approaches its target star system, it begins to slow down. This is a long and arduous adjustment period, requiring humanity to restart the planet's rotation, restore day and night cycles, and prepare for reaching their new home.

Phase Five: The New Solar Era. Finally, Blue Star settled firmly in its orbit around the star Pegasus. This once blue home planet now became a satellite of the new star. In this new world, humanity would begin its second civilization, continuing its journey into the unknown future.

These five stages represent not only the physical journey of Earth from the solar system to Pegasus, but also a great leap forward for human civilization and a brand new beginning full of challenges and opportunities.
