Chapter 200

Her heartbeat resonated with the stars, and every step stepped out with determination for the future.

"Finally, the distance between us is no longer far."

Xiang Xingluo murmured in her heart; her voice was light, but filled with unshakable power.

She knew well that the purpose of this trip was not just to expose the truth, but to protect the peace and tranquility of this universe.

The headquarters of the unknown force was hidden on the back of a seemingly ordinary planet; huge metal buildings loomed in the darkness, as if they were an isolated island in the universe.

Xiang Xingluo used her superior infiltration skills to pass through layers of guards silently and arrived before the leader's secret room.

"Hmph, did you think you could escape my control?"

A low and cold voice suddenly sounded; the leader of the unknown force appeared in the center of the secret room, their figure shrouded in a layer of faint black mist, appearing exceptionally gloomy and terrifying.

Xiang Xingluo did not retreat; she looked directly into the leader's eyes and said without fear: "I never thought of escaping; I came here to expose your true face and stop your conspiracy."

The leader sneered and said slowly:

"Oh? Your so-called conspiracy is nothing more than the delusions of the weak. What I pursue is the ultimate order of the universe, a dictatorship realized through the artifact. And you, are just a speck of dust in my plan."

"No, you are wrong."

Xiang Xingluo's voice was firm and powerful,

"True order is not established through violence and dictatorship, but requires the joint efforts and mutual respect of all races. Your actions will only bring disaster and destruction to the universe."

·· ··Begging for flowers·· 0

The leader was clearly angered by Xiang Xingluo's words; they waved their hand violently, and a powerful energy fluctuation struck toward Xiang Xingluo.

However, Xiang Xingluo was well-prepared; she dodged quickly while using the special device in her hand to interfere with the leader's energy field.

"Did you think you could defeat me like this?"

.... 0...

The leader roared, preparing to launch a more fierce attack.

But just at this moment, Xiang Xingluo's voice sounded again, her voice filled with wisdom and courage.

"I never thought of defeating you; I just want to expose your conspiracy and let everyone see your true face clearly.

Moreover, I believe that the power of justice will eventually triumph over evil."

As Xiang Xingluo spoke, she activated the device in her hand, and segments of image data about the leader's conspiracy began to play in the secret room.

These image materials clearly showed how the leader used the artifact to control various races in the universe, as well as the various crimes they committed to realize their dictatorship.

As the images played, the atmosphere in the secret room became increasingly tense; the members of the unknown force began to whisper, and some even showed expressions of shock and anger.

225. 【Is this true?】

"This... is this true?" a member asked, trembling.

"Impossible! How could the leader do such a thing?" another member shook their head in disbelief.

However, the facts were before them, and they had no choice but to believe.

As the images continued to play, more and more members began to waver; they began to reflect on their own actions, and some even decided to turn against their own side to support Zhou Xuan and Xiang Xingluo.

"Enough!"

The leader finally could not bear this situation; they roared and prepared to launch the final attack.

But just at this moment, Zhou Xuan led the team and rushed into the secret room; they engaged in a fierce battle with the members of the unknown force.

"For the peace and stability of the universe, we must never retreat!"

Zhou Xuan's voice rang through the entire secret room, his eyes filled with firmness and determination.

Under his leadership, the team members fought forward bravely, engaging in a life-and-death struggle with the unknown force.

In the battle, Zhou Xuan displayed his excellent leadership talent and combat skills.

He cleverly commanded the team members to cooperate, using their respective specialties and advantages to approach the leader step by step.

And Xiang Xingluo assisted from the side; she used her wisdom and courage to constantly interfere with the leader's actions, creating opportunities for the team.

After a fierce battle, Zhou Xuan finally found the leader's flaw; he struck hard and knocked the leader to the ground.

With the leader's fall, the members of the unknown force laid down their weapons one after another and surrendered.

"We won!"

The team members cheered; they finally successfully exposed the conspiracy of the unknown force and defeated the leader.

At this moment, they felt incomparably proud and satisfied.

However, although the battle was over, the challenges were far from stopping.

With the collapse of the unknown force, the secret of the artifact was also made public.

Various races in the universe began to realize the importance of the artifact and joined the ranks of maintaining peace and stability in the universe one after another.

Zhou Xuan and Xiang Xingluo stood on the Astral Express, looking at the brilliant stars in the distance; their hearts were filled with hope and longing.

They knew the road ahead was still long, but they believed that as long as they joined hands, they would surely be able to overcome all difficulties and challenges.

"Xiang Xingluo, thank you." Zhou Xuan suddenly turned around and looked at Xiang Xingluo affectionately.

"Thank you for what?" Xiang Xingluo smiled slightly, her eyes flickering with gentle light.

"Thank you for always being by my side and facing all of this with me."

Zhou Xuan said, gently holding Xiang Xingluo's hand, "Without you, I might not have been able to walk to this step today."

Xiang Xingluo felt Zhou Xuan's affection and warmth; she held Zhou Xuan's hand tightly and said: "Me too, Zhou Xuan.... No matter what happens in the future, I will always be by your side and protect this universe with you."

Just then, a new challenge quietly appeared.

An unknown star body suddenly appeared at the end of the Astral Express; it emitted a dazzling light, as if a new threat was approaching.

"It seems our battle is not over yet."

Zhou Xuan gazed at that unknown star body, his eyes flickering with firm light.

"Yes, but we are ready."

Xiang Xingluo smiled and said, "No matter what challenges we encounter in the future, as long as we join hands, we will surely be able to defeat them."

Thus, Zhou Xuan and Xiang Xingluo set off on their journey again; they knew more unknowns and dangers were waiting for them ahead.

But they also believed that as long as there was love, faith, and courage in their hearts, they would surely be able to create a more beautiful future.

The tranquility of the Astral Express was torn by sudden shadows, as if the darkness in the depths of the universe had been awakened by an invisible force, spreading to every corner.

Zhou Xuan and Xiang Xingluo, this couple who had fought side by side in countless battles, were standing on the viewing platform of their spaceship "Star Trail," enjoying the rare tranquility.

The starry sky was like a weave, with stars dotted about, but this tranquility did not last long.

226. 【Seems like I've seen it somewhere?】

"Zhou Xuan, can you feel it?"

Xiang Xingluo's voice carried a hint of imperceptible tension; she looked at the unusual dark area in the distance, where an unprecedented energy fluctuation was brewing.

Zhou Xuan nodded gently, his eyes becoming sharp: "Yes, that power... is no small matter. It carries the aura of destruction, yet it seems to be searching for something."

The two looked at each other; there was no need for words, their hearts were already clear.

As well-known guardians of the universe, they knew well that whenever such a moment arrived, it was time for them to step forward and protect this starry sky.

"We have to go and see."

Zhou Xuan turned and walked toward the control room, every step appearing firm and resolute.

Xiang Xingluo followed closely, her eyes flickering with the same determination.

22 As "Star Trail" crossed the stars, they gradually approached that dark area.

The scene before them was shocking—a huge fleet was floating quietly there, with eerie light flickering on the hulls; that was the symbol of the "Shadow of Chaos."

Their appearance was like a tumor in the universe, quickly triggering panic and unease among all races.

"This is the 'Shadow of Chaos'?"

Xiang Xingluo frowned; she had never seen such a huge and threatening enemy.

"Even trickier than imagined."

Zhou Xuan said in a deep voice, "Their technology far exceeds any civilization we know, and... they seem to have a strong interest in the artifact."

The artifact, the most ancient and mysterious existence in the universe, possessed the power to change the rules of the universe.

Zhou Xuan and Xiang Xingluo had brushed past the artifact many times and knew well the complexity and danger behind it.

"If the 'Shadow of Chaos' is really searching for the artifact..."

Xiang Xingluo's voice revealed worry, "Then their goal is not just about power."

Zhou Xuan nodded, a flash of resolve in his eyes: "No matter what their goal is, we cannot let them succeed. We must find the artifact parts they want and stop their conspiracy."

Thus, a contest of time, wisdom, and courage quietly unfolded.
