[S6 Season New Content]
New Main Story - Journey to the East
After the battle on Mars, Earth enjoyed a long-awaited peace. To better prepare for unknown cosmic risks, the Regular Army decided to take the initiative and seek out more space civilizations. With combined efforts, Andrew Town was transformed into a true spaceship. Led by Marco and the team, they set off once again into the starry ocean. However, humanity's first attempt at space diplomacy did not go smoothly. During the voyage, they encountered a black hole and fell into an otherworldly space filled with classical Eastern charm, losing all contact with Earth...
