A shattered moon—a scene grand, magnificent, and dazzling, like a cluster of icy fireworks in the cosmic landscape.

The hearts of all beings on Sky Blue Star were shaken; those fortunate enough to witness this moment would remember it for the rest of their lives.

But the most shocked of all was Brian Carter.

A few minutes earlier.

In that "virtual online game," he had apparently posted a mission to "take out one of Sky Blue Star's moons."

Brian Carter had originally treated this as a joke.

But now.

A moon outside Sky Blue Star was splitting apart right before his eyes, the spectacle so breathtaking.

If this was a coincidence, it was far too bizarre, too perfect.

Even though the technology of this world was highly advanced,

To directly destroy a moon—who would go to such trouble for no reward?

"Could it be that the mysterious organization in that space is real?"

Brian Carter took a deep breath.

If such an organization truly existed, the power and influence it wielded would be terrifying!

Suddenly.

A hurricane-like shockwave swept over, the ground trembling faintly, as if an earthquake had struck.

Brian Carter staggered, nearly blown over.

"This is bad! Some meteorites are heading toward Sky Blue Star."

Grace Miller's face turned pale.

She bit her lip and quickly pulled Brian Carter with her, huddling together in a corner.

Brian Carter gazed at the starry sky.

Most of the fragments from the shattered moon flew off into outer space or orbited around Sky Blue Star.

A small portion, however, turned into meteoric streams, entering the atmosphere.

These meteorite fragments ranged from just over a dozen meters to several hundred meters in diameter, with the largest spanning several kilometers.

If they crashed to the surface, they would bring catastrophic destruction to Sky Blue Star.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Beams of light shot up from the surface of Sky Blue Star, intercepting the vast majority of meteorite fragments.

In the end, only a very few small meteorites reached the ground, at least avoiding mass casualties.

Whew! Whew!

Brian Carter let out a long sigh of relief. In just a few minutes, he felt as if he had survived a great disaster.

At the same time.

In the most prosperous city of Sky Blue Star—Tiandu City.

Inside the Federal Administrative Center, in a conference room.

A dozen or so of the most powerful figures on Sky Blue Star couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, sweat still beading on their foreheads.

"God bless! Sky Blue Star is safe."

"Thanks to Deputy Star Officer Rock, who made the perfect decision at the fastest speed."

"That's right! To have survived this calamity, Deputy Star Officer Rock deserves great credit."

The military and political bigwigs present looked with gratitude at a blond, white man.

The blond man was in his thirties, exuding the aura of a leader.

His name was Rock, Deputy Star Officer of Sky Blue Star, essentially the planet's second-in-command.

"Deputy Star Officer Rock, how did you foresee this disaster in advance?"

The Star Officer looked puzzled, speaking in a deep voice.

"Your Excellency Star Officer, I received the information through a certain channel, but I'm sorry—I cannot disclose the specific source."

Rock replied apologetically.

The Star Officer nodded slightly and did not press further.

The military and political leaders present seemed thoughtful.

Rock was not a native of Sky Blue Star, but had been parachuted in, reportedly from a powerful interstellar family.

For Rock to have received advance warning, it must have come from his family.

Rock smiled but did not explain.

The source of the information was not his family.

It was that mysterious, ancient, and transcendent organization!

That's right.

Rock was the "trainee Star Officer," the NPC passerby Brian Carter had encountered in the mysterious space.

"It's not that I intend to hide the truth."

"This is one of the organization's ironclad rules: never mention any information about the organization to outsiders. Even mentioning its name would mean instant erasure for me!"

Rock felt deep reverence.

He was a candidate member of the organization, still striving for full membership.

……

At the entrance of a hotel in Linjiang City.

"It should be fine now! With interstellar law in place, even advanced civilizations can't attack a civilized planet without cause."

Grace Miller regained her composure, gently smoothing her messy hair.

She looked at the young man: "What do you decide about our relationship?"

"Why do I have to answer your multiple-choice question?"

Brian Carter smiled.

Because of the mysterious organization, he felt a bit more confident.

Hmm?

Grace Miller was a little surprised, noticing that Brian Carter at this moment was somewhat different from the obedient boy of a few minutes ago.

"What do you mean?" Grace Miller's beautiful eyes narrowed.

Brian Carter wanted to reply boldly.

But on second thought, he still couldn't beat Grace Miller.

"Let's leave everything to fate in the future, shall we?"

Brian Carter decided to be a bit gentler—one should always leave some room and not hurt others too deeply.

To be honest.

Grace Miller was the pure campus belle type, and also had the persona of a super heroine—quite to Brian Carter's taste.

But still, you can't treat me as your backup, can you?

Wait for you for seven years?

Brian Carter was not like the original owner of this body, who had grown up with Grace Miller for over a decade and shared deep feelings.

Most importantly—

How could you give up an entire forest for a single sapling?

"I understand."

A mist of tears clouded Grace Miller's eyes as she struggled to hold back her sobs.

"Little Brian, I didn't leave you just because I became a superhuman..."
