The Stargate Base was an important residential planet for the distant ancient civilization more than one hundred thousand years ago. Its initial conditions were excellent, and its modification was thorough. After the recovery of the human civilization, this planet was one of the first to be restored. Corresponding to its status in the Federation of the Milky Way, the living conditions on this planet were among the top five. It had four seasons and a beautiful and harmless weather.
However, this was only applicable to the upper-class society on the surface of the planet and in Shou 'er City; it had nothing to do with the communities on the underground levels.
If the inhabitants of the Mingshen Neighborhood were born and died here, they would have never seen rain or snow in their entire lives.
As the dripping sound rang out outside the window, Zong Lizi knew that it was not the sound of the raindrops, but a leak in a pipeline in the sky.
She felt a bit relieved after having these messy thoughts. She took a deep breath and looked at the short-haired girl sitting on the other side of the chair. "Are you Zhao Layue?" she asked after comparing her appearance with the one in the books and the game.
Zong Lizi tried her best to behave as calmly as possible, or at least like a host; but she couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice.
The long-haired white cat had jumped onto Zhao Layue's shoulder and crouched on it lazily. He turned his head slowly and looked around curiously and disdainfully. The short-haired girl asked nonchalantly, "Has he mentioned me to you?"
The white cat who was complaining about the shabby manor cave and the status of the Immortal Jingyang was none other than the Master White Ghost, the Principal Guard of Aoyama, whose nickname was Liu Ada.
This girl with a picturesque countenance and messy short hair, as if she hadn't taken a bath for many days was none other than the master of Shenmo Peak, Zhao Layue.
After hundreds of years of diligent Cultivation, she had finally become the first ascendant among the Cultivation practitioners of her generation.
It was because Peng Lang didn't want her to leave first because of his wife.
After leaving Chaotian, she found the bamboo chair like Jian Xilai and the others had done. She sat on it for a while and made a fairy book. Then, she headed in a certain direction as instructed by Jing Jiu.
Since she was chosen by the Immortal Jingyang in her mother's womb, she had a very good fate. She didn't encounter any monsters of the Sea of Dark Matter along the way, nor did she encounter tens of thousands of burning flying swords. She bumped into a pirate ship.
Of course, this was not to say that Jing Jiu's life force was too bad. He was also chosen by Dao Yuan Zhenren when he was still in his mother's womb. It could only be said that his life force was better than Jing Jiu's. Moreover, Xue Gie had arrogantly killed monsters along the way and attracted that big monster …
That pirate ship became Zhao Layue's first contact with this interstellar civilization, which directly caused her style to be completely different from the previous generation of ascenders. She directly declared her ownership of the pirate ship and ordered the pirate-turned-teachers to teach her about all aspects of the world.
Her life as a pirate didn't last too long. It was because she saw the book and the game on the interplanetary network through the computer. In the next moment, she saw a scene in the news, in which she saw Jing Jiu wearing a blue hoodie on the gangway of the Scorching-Sun Battleship.
Now that she had seen Jing Jiu, the pirate ship changed its course. However, before the ship arrived on the Main Planet, she saw another inconspicuous piece of news: a young woman named Zong Lizi had returned to the Stargate Base.
She knew without thinking that something had happened to Jing Jiu, so she ordered the pirate ship to head for the Stargate Base.
The Stargate Base was located on the edge of the Federation, but it was very important. It had a complete defense system and was usually guarded by a fleet. No pirate spaceship had ever dared approach that part of the planet, to say nothing of breaking through it.
However, life consisted not only of the distant battleships and the dazzling laser beams, but also of the short-haired young woman and the blood-red sword. The pirates didn't dare disobey her.
As expected, the pirate ship without authorization triggered the defense system of the Federation of the Milky Way when it was ten million kilometers away from the Stargate Base, and it was chased by a battleship.
As the pirates turned to look at the young woman in an attempt to get her next command, they found that the seat of the commander was empty.
Zhao Layue had left the moment she was discovered by the defense system. She jumped into the dark and bottomless space with the thrusters on her back.
She didn't care whether the pirate ship would be destroyed or captured by the battleship. It was because she had paid her private tutor that those scoundrels whose hands were stained with blood could live for a few more days.
…
…
Nobody knew how long Zhao Layue had drifted in the dark and cold space, but it was not dangerous. It was because she was an ascended fairy woman, and she had many magic treasures and a white cat with her.
Liu Ada, who had ascended with her, still retained the style he had when he was in Aoyama; he wanted to take a bite of the starlight as soon as he saw it.
As soon as he took a bite of the starlight, he knew that he had truly come to the fairy realm.
No matter what this universe meant to the human ascendants, it was indeed the fairy realm for him.
He and the Round Turtle had fed on the starlight when they were in Chaotian. Nobody could convert the starlight more efficiently than the two of them.
This real universe was full of stars, and each star was like a piece of bread made of fairy energy. It was truly wonderful.
In a short time, Ada's Cultivation state had improved again, and his efficiency in converting the light of the fixed star was equivalent to that of a super-tiny nuclear power furnace. As such, Zhao Layue had no reason to be afraid of him while holding him.
…
…
Zhao Layue landed on the surface of the Stargate that day.
She saw the praying hall in the distance, but she didn't go there. She jumped to the underground according to the information she had found on the Star Zone Network and came to this apartment.
She had flown in the space for a long time and made two jumps as fast as the shooting stars, so her clothes were dusty and her messy hair was obviously dusty, but she didn't notice it at all.
Zong Lizi didn't notice it either, because she was as beautiful as a painting, and her temperament was as otherworldly as described in the novels. She remarked sentimentally, "You are indeed his favorite female disciple."
Zhao Layue said, "I'm of the same generation as Jing Jiu, so the Shenmo Peak is ours."
Though she seemed calm, she actually had a hidden meaning, a hint of wariness.
She had boarded the pirate ship after leaving Chaotian, and arrived here after disembarking from the ship. Everything here was still unfamiliar to her.
She and Jing Jiu had discussed it in Chaotian. They believed that the world after their ascension was not the fairy realm, but they didn't expect it to be such a place.
Zong Lizi was still nervous. She poured a cup of tea for Zhao Layue at a loss. Seeing the white cat in her arms, she thought of her identity and asked in a low voice, "Are … are you Ada? Do you want to have a cup of tea? The dried fish at home have expired, so I've thrown them away. "
Zong Lizi kept the food bowl and the cat food for a long time after the yellow cat left, and didn't throw them away until they expired.
Thinking of the yellow cat in the painting, Ada understood what was going on. He meowed casually to indicate that he didn't need to do so. He looked at Zong Lizi's chest again and decided not to jump up. He lay back in Zhao Layue's arms comfortably.
"What happened?" asked Zhao Layue.
Zong Lizi had thought about it for a long time. Hearing Zhao Layue's question, she told her the speculation.
"… So we went to the Main Planet … After General Li finished talking to him, he left the Main Planet. Logically speaking, he should have chosen the military side, but if he was the one who broke off relations with the military, the College of Priests would have protected me instead of chasing me away, so it must be that …"
Zhao Layue paused in stroking the cat's hair. "You've mentioned that person a few times. Who is that person?" she asked Zong Lizi expressionlessly.
Zong Lizi didn't know what to say. "That person is that person … she is the female priest of the Main Planet in name, but her status is much higher than that," she said.
Zhao Layue didn't pay any more attention to this question, saying, "It looks like we asked him to choose a side, but both sides have problems."
"That's my guess, but I don't have any proof. My Teacher doesn't know the reason either." This was what Zong Lizi meant; otherwise, she couldn't explain what had happened later. She suddenly thought of something and said uneasily, "You shouldn't have come here directly. Many people must be watching me right now."
Ada turned his head to look at the outside of the window and meowed once.
The pipes in the sky should have been repaired, so it wasn't raining anymore. A few glowing specks could be seen in the dark and gloomy street.
Zhao Layue uttered "hmm" to indicate that she knew what he meant.
There were indeed a lot of people watching the apartment. One unit of the opposite apartment building had even been cleared out. Many Special Zhong soldiers wearing light armor occupied the high ground. There were 13 long-range weapons aimed at this window, ready to attack at any time. What was even more shocking was that there were two more synchronous satellites in space, continuously monitoring this place.
Ah Da continued to lie in her arms lazily.
Zhao Layue stood up while holding Ada in her arms. She looked around and asked the closed bedroom door, "Has he lived here before?"
She didn't expect Zhao Layue and that devil cat to care so much about it. She thought that they were the same kind of people as Jing Jiu. She got up and introduced the apartment to Zhao Layue with a self-mocking smile, "This is my bedroom, and he lives here … but he doesn't sleep much. He spends most of his time sitting on the soft chair, reading the news and watching the computer."
Zhao Layue was taken aback. She didn't expect him to change so much. He didn't close his eyes while lying on the chair, but read the news and watch the computer.
Her gaze moved back and forth between the study room and the soft chair. She felt a strong sense of longing for him again, sighing, "I haven't seen him for many days. I wonder how he is doing right now."
Zhao Layue came to the window and fell silent while looking at this strange world. "I haven't seen him for five hundred years," she said.
…
…
There was a building on the opposite side of the apartment building. It was not a high building, and the rooms inside had been leveled and turned into a temporary command center.
A dozen military officers were busy working at the workbenches in silence. Dozens of elite soldiers in armor sat silently by the wall, waiting for orders.
"The target has appeared!"
As a shout rang out in the communication system, the people looked at the light screen and saw the short-haired girl by the window.
The short-haired girl lifted her head and looked at them. Pah!!!
Pah!!! Countless cracking sounds rang out.
The surveillance equipment aimed at the apartment building had all broken into pieces.
