That day in the galaxy beyond the fog, General Li was severely wounded by Jian Xilai's "Death Shadow" and was killed by Jing Jiu using his own body as a cannon.
His last words were to preserve his remains and the All-In-One that remained in it. Normally, his remains should be in the laboratory of the Science Academy of the Federation or in the military laboratory that he was familiar with. Unexpectedly, he was brought by Chen Ya.
The fairy remains of General Li had an unimaginable value and a symbolic meaning beyond its value. It was unclear why Chen Ya did it, and whether those ascendants would object to it. But, why did he take out the fairy remains of General Li at this moment?
Cao Yuan of course knew who the Immortal Chunyang was, but he didn't expect this legendary fairy man to be dead the first time he met him.
Looking at the remains of General Li in the coffin, Chen Ya said expressionlessly, "According to the time in Chaotian, I've ascended nine thousand years ago. He was my junior, but in fact, I've always regarded him as my teacher, or in other words, my spiritual leader. I even thought that he would never make a mistake and would never die."
Cao Yuan understood what he intended to say, and uttered a Buddhist mantra.
"Since he is dead, why can't Jing Jiu die?" Chen Ya continued expressionlessly while looking at Cao Yuan, "Even though he is still alive, he is no different from being dead."
Cao Yuan said, "I don't agree with this opinion. In my opinion, Jing Yang won't die even if all of us are dead. But it's not important. What do you want to tell me?"
Pointing to General Li in the coffin, Chen Ya continued, "Do you know how he died? Do you know what he said before he died? "
…
…
The Cultivation practitioners of the same generation as Jing Jiu and his juniors in Chaotian had an inexplicable confidence in him.
He would still be alive even if heaven and earth were destroyed, to say nothing of living as long as heaven and earth.
It was a marvelous thing to say, but it was easy to understand. They had seen too many legendary deeds of his, but they had never seen him defeated once, and they all knew how much he cherished his life.
Cao Yuan had guarded the wind and snow all by himself for many years, so he knew better than anybody else how powerful the Snow Girl was. Yet, if he had to judge whether the Snow Girl or Jing Jiu would survive in the end, he would choose the latter; it was because Jing Jiu would regard the former as an advantage for his survival.
He didn't believe that Jing Jiu would die, and neither did Zhao Layue. She didn't even seem to think about it.
She placed the logbook into the storage box, turned on the projected screen, searched for a few signals, and connected automatically. Then, she saw herself on the news screen. More accurately, she saw the Thunder God mecha on the news screen.
In the dark background of the universe, the surface of the Thor's mech was covered with a thin layer of frost, as if it was shining with starlight. It was very beautiful, and also had an extremely threatening aura. That was not real frost, but the coating of particle bombardment after passing through the warp tunnel.
The Thunder God mecha was now in front of the Haiyin Nebula. After passing through a few more warp spatial passages, it would arrive at the star sector where the main star was. For some reason, the military didn't block the news about the Thunder God mecha. The TV stations in all the star sectors of the Federation of the Milky Way were paying close attention to this huge mecha, broadcasting the related news incessantly.
In the beginning, the news media thought it was a conspiracy by terrorists to hijack the mecha. However, it was puzzling that the battleships of the military didn't launch an attack, either near the Stargate Base or in the star sectors where the Thunder God mecha had passed. All they did was keep an eye on the mecha.
As time went by and the Thunder God mecha got closer to the Main Star, the news media reported in a calmer tone; but the populace who paid close attention to this conspiracy grew more and more shocked, and more and more speculated. Was it possible that an important figure on the huge mecha had been taken hostage? Or, was there nobody on the mecha? Did the mecha have an artificial intelligence? On many forums on the interplanetary network, many users began to write articles based on this story. Their imaginations were even more bizarre than the real situation. The whole series of stories was named "The Rebellion of the Huge Mecha".

…
It was quiet in the cockpit, save for the deep and low electromagnetic buzzing and the deeper snores of a cat. It wasn't until Zong Lizi's voice broke out.
"The wreckage in front of us … was left behind from that incident."
Zhao Layue looked at the space outside the window and saw the wreckage of the battleship. She seemed to have seen the scene where countless nuclear bombs had exploded and Jing Jiu had rushed over as a sword light.
The traces of the battle had disappeared in the space a long time ago, but Ran Handong had made a simulated scene for her.
Zong Lizi pulled back her gaze and read two more news reports, and then continued to study a star chart.
There was a special star in the star chart. It had a high mass companion, which created a long tail behind the star.
There was a famous holiday star in this galaxy. A violent explosion had taken place on it many days ago.
According to the information provided by Ran Handong, Jing Jiu had been with a person named Shen Yunmai at the time, and the person named Shen Yunmai had disappeared after the explosion.
Zhao Layue wanted to find Shen Yunmai, but it seemed to be a difficult task.
As long as the black battleship was cut off from the outside world, it would become a black coffin drifting in the space.
The universe was so vast that neither a divine animal like Ada nor the seemingly omnipresent surveillance network could find it.
By the same logic, if the Mecha of the Thunder God was cut off from the outside world, it would disappear in the vast space. Doing so would increase the risk, but it would also reduce the risk on the other side. Yet, Zhao Layue didn't do anything. The Thunder God was under constant surveillance by the other side. A few battleships were following the Thunder God in the distant space, and it was unclear when they would launch an attack. Even if they didn't launch an attack right now, it was unlikely that the other side would let the Thunder God arrive on the Main Planet under the watch of the whole world.
Zong Lizi didn't know what was on Zhao Layue's mind, feeling worried.
The snoring suddenly grew louder. Ada was comforting her: "Don't worry. Even if this junk is destroyed, I can still take you to travel around."
Zong Lizi recalled many scenes in the novel, thinking that Jing Jiu had basically never attacked and would be defeated once he did. She couldn't help but feel worried.
…
…
Tens of billions of people in the Federation of the Milky Way were watching the huge Mecha called the Thunder God on the TV screens.
As the Thunder God got closer to the Main Planet, the populace in many parts of the universe became more and more excited to watch the show; but the populace on the Main Planet grew more and more nervous. The Management Committee and the administrative authorities had received many inquiries. In addition to the usual concerns, most of the inquiries were about when the battleships built with their taxes would fire.
The populace with some common sense knew that the Mecha of the Thunder God couldn't possibly cause a devastating attack on the Main Planet. The problem was that the military and the government didn't give any response. The eerie quietness was truly frightening. It was like watching the setting sun and the shadow of the dark night engulfing everything. When would the street lamps be turned on?
Ran Handong had no idea what the young woman named Zhao Layue intended to do and why she came to the Main Planet so openly. Looking at the Thunder God on the TV screen and listening to the heated discussion between the presenter and the two so-called military experts, Zong Lizi felt bored. She turned off the TV screen and was about to go to bed.
It was then that the door of the room burst out with a loud bang. Dozens of soldiers in light armor rushed in and surrounded her bed, the leader of whom was her brother.
Ran Handong said to him earnestly, "If I can't sleep tonight, you won't be able to sleep for the rest of your life."
Seeing her with a terrible expression, Young General Ran pressed, "Have you been in contact with the Thunder God all this time?"
Ran Handong said expressionlessly, "The people on the Thunder God are Jing Jiu's men. If I remember correctly, our family and Jing Jiu are allies."
After the turmoil of the Scorpion Tail Nebula, the important figures in the upper class of the Federation of the Milky Way had learned the truth even though they didn't know the truth. This world had been ruled by the cocoon breakers, and they had to rely on the priests to maintain their current status. As a result, the aristocratic clans led by the Ran family and the important figures in the political circle were more loyal to Jing Jiu, so they weren't purged. As a result, some of the former allies had become enemies.
Young General Ran said while staring into his younger sister's eyes, "He's dead."
"I didn't see the will, so I'm still his secretary."
Ran Handong got up and put on the military uniform, buttoning it up meticulously.
She was fully aware that she would be arrested and tried in secret. For the aristocratic clans, the future and even the life and death of their children were not as important as the fate of their clan.
When she died, her father might shed some appropriate tears, but that was all.
It was then that Young General Ran suddenly received a message. He felt both shocked and relieved. "Someone wants you to pick her up," he said to his younger sister.
…
…
It was impossible for the Federation of the Milky Way to allow the huge Mecha of the Thunder God to arrive on the Main Planet; otherwise, the populace would be scared to death by the dark night.
The military base was located through the space passage of the Haiyin Nebula.
The weapon systems of dozens of black battleships had been activated, locking onto the Mecha of the Thunder God. They watched the huge Mecha of the Thunder God enter the base cautiously and nervously.
Along with the sound of splashing air, the door of the cockpit was opened. Zong Lizi walked out from the cockpit with a black backpack on her back.
Ran Handong came before her and looked at her with a faint smile, saying nothing.
Zong Lizi shrugged and said with an innocent expression, "Sorry, I'm back."
Ran Handong looked behind her and asked, "You're alone?"
There was no one in the cockpit.
And no cat.
…
…
Of the nine swords of Aoyama, the Lone Sword was the fastest, and the Thoughtless Sword was the fastest.
Everybody was well aware of the difference between the two swords.
How fast was the Thoughtless Sword?
After Zhao Layue ascended and became a fairy lady, even the most advanced surveillance satellite couldn't detect its trace. All that could be seen in the atmosphere was a flash of red light.
The flash of red light expanded as the speed of the sword slowed down, merging with the morning sunlight in the sky. It was hard to tell them apart from each other.
The front gate of the ancient castle opened slowly, welcoming the people in the morning sunlight.
The sunflowers in the painting were awakened by the morning sunlight, as if they had become more energetic.
Zhao Layue stood in front of the painting and looked at it intently while holding the white cat, wondering what Jing Jiu liked.
Extremely rhythmic and steady footsteps that were beyond mechanical rang out. The young woman came to her side and said while looking at the sunflowers in the painting, "This is a replica. The original painting was hung in a banker's house. The little kid was about the same age as you when she copied it."
She was not by the hot spring that day, so she was still wearing the bathrobe with floral patterns.
She turned her head to look at Zhao Layue, and added, "I meant the appearance."
"Are you the computer left by the distant ancient civilization?" asked Zhao Layue.
The young woman was taken aback. Over the years, even if someone had guessed her identity, they would show her a great deal of respect, not daring to ask her directly. Even Jing Jiu had only talked in riddles with her. No one had ever been as straightforward as Zhao Layue.
"You're indeed different. I've seen some female cocoon breakers, but I've rarely seen someone as reckless or domineering as you. Where does your confidence come from? "
"I have a cat. Do you have one?" asked Zhao Layue.
The young woman looked at the white cat in her arms and said with a faint smile, "It's nothing but a modified animal."
