In the year 4 AD, the universe was Peaceful and Clear, filled with songs and dances.
The root cause of the chaos that had disrupted the order of the entire universe, Huankezhao and its master Shangguan Wangyu, had withered away in the garden of the cosmos.
However, alongside their demise, many renowned young talents also faded. It was they who had sacrificed their lives to restore harmony to the universe, laying the foundation for the current prosperity and flourishing with their fearless spirit.
The Magellanic Star remained as intricate as ever, while the Universal Building still stood tall. This was one of the most controversial matters since the dawn of this new era.
Most people believed that the Universal Building, as a symbol of evil and violence, would inspire those who harbored such intentions as long as it remained standing. It needed to be torn down for a true new beginning of this epoch-making chapter.
Ultimately, it was due to the former United Nations Secretary-General Ganwen, who, against all odds, delivered a stirring speech that swayed many members of parliament.
The speech covered a wide range of topics—family, love, justice, and courage—encompassing everything and delivered brilliantly. Many could recite it by heart; it became an essential lesson in early childhood education throughout the entire Cosmos.
One particularly powerful line from that speech was:
“In ancient Huaguo, there was a brave king who could move mountains and overshadow the world. He ultimately defeated his enemies. When he stormed into the enemy's capital, he burned their palace to the ground. However, that palace was one of the most significant buildings of its time, making it impossible for later generations to find more information about that period.”
“What we do today is not merely to satisfy our own preferences; we must think more about future generations. Just like when your family is unhappy and you feel sad, it is your children who suffer the most.”
“For them, let us leave behind this testament.”
Later on, due to this matter, Ganwen resigned from his position, passing it on to Zhan Xingzi, who had made outstanding contributions in the fight against Shangguan Wangyu.
Zhan Xingzi was a young prodigy who quickly took office and demonstrated exceptional political skills, leading the entire Cosmos toward prosperity.
...
Huankezhao became a tourist attraction, and not far from it stood the freshly inaugurated United Nations headquarters.
Zhan Xingzi, dressed in a tailored suit, stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing down at the sprawling cityscape. He turned to the person behind him and asked, "Do you know why I am taking the risk of activating you?"
The person standing behind him kept his head bowed low, unable to meet the gaze of the young man, despite having been accustomed to standing in his shadow.
Tony's hands trembled uncontrollably. It was a miracle that he was still alive, and he cherished his life more than ever. Therefore, he weighed his words carefully.
"It is because Secretary General is magnanimous and forgiving."
Zhan Xingzi suddenly laughed and replied to Tony, "Acting is just one aspect; more importantly, keeping you by my side serves as a constant reminder for me not to tread that path."
Zhan Xingzi's words were incomplete; which path was he referring to?
But Tony understood all too well.
"Secretary General must be the wisest leader. Just look at how high the voices of support are among the people; your future is certainly bright."
Tony thought to himself that he wasn't particularly good at flattering others and wondered what exactly Zhan Xingzi preferred to hear.
Zhan Xingzi showed neither joy nor annoyance; it seemed he was contemplating something else.
After a moment, he asked, "Do you think Shangguan Wangyu is dead?"
Tony was taken aback, filled with panic.
"The explosion killed everyone; there were no survivors. Your army was on-site at the time; how could he possibly still be alive?"
Tony couldn't believe it. If Shangguan Wangyu had survived such a devastating explosion, it would be utterly astonishing! And his own fate would have been dire in comparison.
He couldn't help but shiver.
Zhan Xingzi seemed not to hear his words, lost in her own murmurs. "Jufeng, oh Jufeng, why did you choose this way to leave this murky water? Where should I go to find you?"
...
Near Earth Star, the brand-new central planet of the Magellan Star System. Although the reconstruction of Magellan Star was in full swing, most people preferred to go with the flow, not wanting to live under the shadow of Magellan Star, so they settled down comfortably on Near Earth Star.
Zongheng Express and Jinhai Industries jointly established a technology manufacturing company that absorbed all remaining industries of Huankezhao. With integrated resources, Zongheng Express quickly became the leader of the entire Cosmos.
However, due to multiple operations, it avoided a monopoly. Civilization was the current CEO, and Jiang Xue was the top researcher.
At this moment, they were exchanging glances in the office.
"Min, if you have time recently, shouldn't we go visit Feng and the others?"
Upon hearing Jiang Xue's suggestion, Civilization quickly checked the phone receiver to confirm it was not off-hook before replying, "Xue, that's not good. It's easy to say something wrong in front of outsiders."
Since the pacification of the Cosmos, Jiang Xue's personality had become much brighter. Perhaps without the pressure weighing on her, she had also broken records in her research.
Jiang Xue casually said, "It's fine; it's just us here. No one will hear us. But I'll be more careful in the future."
Civilization gently nudged Jiang Xue's nose and smiled. "Let's wait until we have a rough understanding of the situation in the Xia Yixing System. If the information we gather is accurate, our living space may very well double. That would be a blessing for the entire Cosmos."
Jiang Xue affectionately leaned on Civilization's shoulder, nodded, and enjoyed their brief moment together.
...
Star, a peaceful planet. Yanhuang City, a city known for its simplicity and clarity.
The sacrifices known throughout the planet were now enjoying a carefree life deep within this city's mountains and rivers.
This is the Central City of Yanhuang, now under the domain of Jufeng.
Yin Mo is playing with Chuyang and Liu Xing. More accurately, Yin Mo is being played with by Chuyang. Having grown a few years older, Yin Mo has become even cuter, resembling a young boy from Earth hundreds of years ago.
Further away, three women are sitting side by side on lounge chairs, as it has become quite difficult for them to sit upright.
Flower Snow Moon, Claudia, and Ikeda Masahiro, three expectant mothers, are already showing noticeable baby bumps. Before long, they will be adding three new lives to this place.
Of course, there is also the possibility of more.
Vera and Mu Shu are nearby; Vera is chatting happily, mostly asking about pregnancy experiences, while Mu Shu appears somewhat shy but listens more attentively than anyone else.
Zhu Yao stands a little farther away and suddenly looks up to see Politeness's teasing gaze. Her face flushes with embarrassment, and a chill runs through her.
In the distance, sounds of sparring can be heard; Tong Bailong is training with some elites from Azure Wind Antelope.
Five and Chen Tan Hua have entered the woods to hunt for some game, while Tian Feng approaches with a man not far off.
It is none other than the most sought-after figure in the military right now, Ikeda Kenji.
"Sorry for taking so long to come see you," he says.
Jufeng waves his hand dismissively and gestures for Ikeda Kenji to sit down. "There's no need to apologize! I should be the one apologizing for leaving you with such a mess."
Ikeda Kenji recalls that scene from back then and feels a pang of anxiety. "If it weren't for Jiang Xue developing an emergency escape device beforehand, allowing you all to float in a half-meter sphere in space during that crisis, I wouldn't be seeing you now."
Jufeng smiles but does not respond. The truth is, it was indeed perilous; he just can't dwell on it too much.
Ikeda Kenji discusses some current affairs with Jufeng before mentioning that someone from Earth has sent word hoping to come here to see him.
Jufeng sighed, saying, "Back then, we were so close to Earth, yet I had no chance to see everyone. Now, I truly miss them. Once you let go of things on Earth, come here; I will be waiting for him."
Ikeda Kenji nodded, his expression turning serious as he asked, "You know the situation back then; there were fragments everywhere, and it was impossible to find anyone. I don't even know if Shangguan Wangyu is still alive."
In fact, this question that Ikeda Kenji posed was one that Jufeng had been grappling with as well. After a moment of silence, he said, "Since we are alive, he must have survived too."
This reasoning seemed illogical at first glance, yet it held the most truth.
Ikeda Kenji furrowed his brow at those words, but upon seeing Jufeng's calm expression, he understood. Then he smiled happily.
"Someone who stands against the entire world will ultimately fail."
Jufeng added, "It's not about standing against the world; it's about wanting to conquer it, which is impossible."
"That makes sense!"
"Of course it does."
After seeing Ikeda Kenji off, Tian Feng was strolling by the woods when he casually asked, "How are things with Eldest Sister now?"
Wen Yun's feelings for Tian Feng arose from a heroic rescue, much like the relationship between Jufeng and Lu Qijia.
Tian Feng's face flushed slightly as he replied, "They are preparing for the Cosmos tour. I plan to go accompany her soon."
Jufeng patted Tian Feng on the shoulder and smiled encouragingly. "You should. Make sure it goes well; don't leave any regrets behind."
"Really, don't leave any regrets."
In a deeper part of the Galaxy System, there was a desolate planet, uninhabited yet suitable for human survival. It was a pity that at the beginning of the Interstellar Era, everyone was striving to reach other planets, neglecting the small piece of land right next to them, which might hold treasures.
Near a water source in the forest, a disheveled young man was eating a piece of roasted wild boar meat. Beside him lay the remains of a massive wild boar.
His eyes lacked luster as he gazed at his reflection in the lake, and suddenly he began to laugh.
It was a sad laugh, one that sent chills down the spine.
"Alive, dead; alive, dead..."
(THE END)
