75: Chapter 75 Time Traveler

Inside a sealed room on the "divine might" flagship, Wei Wei stood beneath the enormous "Globe" and dripped Solia's golden blood onto the gene collector.

Xiliu blinked her eyes: "Let's call this device the Time Retrospection Device from now on; it seems it can only return to a certain point in the past."

After Chu Xingyang nodded in agreement, he dove back into the base box.

Yu Lan and a few others walked over: "Great God, are you really going to enter the past of that gaimu woman?"

"Yes. There will inevitably be a great war between us and the Gaimu People, so gathering some information is never a mistake. Plus, this, this Time Retrospection Device needs to be explored as well."

Gaimu Star, Gaimu Star Nation.

When Chu Xingyang opened his eyes again, he was momentarily stunned by the scenery in the sky.

Above the massive ecological dome, over a dozen suns of various sizes hung in the sky.

The Three-Spiral System, the Milky Way Galaxy, and other star systems all followed the same pattern: the closer to the center, the denser the stars, while planets became extremely scarce.

The concept of a star system also became blurred or even non-existent; often, a small area would be packed with hundreds or thousands of stars, interspersed with a few, or even fewer, planets orbiting the galactic center.

This was still Gaimu Star, which was 7,000 light-years away from the galactic center; if one went any further in, the density of the stars would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, among the dozen or so suns, some were massive red giants, which, while bright, did not have high temperatures.

Otherwise, even the most heat-resistant ecological dome would be instantly melted.

Chu Xingyang thought to himself that the reason intelligent beings were intelligent was perhaps because no matter how harsh the environment, they could always change it and survive within it.

Walking on the glittering golden avenue of the Gaimu Star Nation, not far away stood a massive manor, which was the home of Soya, the administrator of the Star Nation.

He wasn't paying attention and bumped into a fat man.

The fat man immediately roared at the top of his lungs: "Are you blind? And what kind of strange clothes are you wearing? It's truly a disgrace!"

Without a word, Chu Xingyang snatched his clothes and then kicked him into a corner by the side of the road.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do; he would just put on this fat man's coat to blend in.

Soon, a Little Girl walked over, exposing two small fangs as she opened her mouth: "Hello, judging by your clothes, you must be Mr. Yang, the tutor Mom just hired, right?"

Chu Xingyang glanced at the fat man lying unconscious in the corner.

He then nodded and said: "That I am!"

He thus settled down in the manor and became the tutor for the Little Girl, Solia.

Although she was playful as a child, she was very polite. She was completely unlike the person she would later become, who was full of "barbarians, suburban lowlifes."

Seeing that her tutor, "Mr. Yang," didn't pay her any mind at all, she simply began an unrestrained childhood.

She often ran around happily in the manor's woods by herself.

The gardener's son in the manor would always gaze at her figure running in the sunlight, then lose himself in a daze.

When Solia noticed the gaze and looked back, he would immediately lower his head in panic.

Until one day, the Little Girl who could no longer stand it walked up to him: "Ying Tuo, what have you been secretly looking at?"

The little boy named Ying Tuo continued hoeing the grass without a word.

"Speak up! What are you looking at?" Solia's voice rose several notches.

Ying Tuo looked up, his face full of tears: "Looking at you, you are free and beautiful."

The Little Girl was stunned, and after a moment, she turned around with a blushing face: "Am I... beautiful?"

"Yes, very beautiful!"

"Oh... alright. No one has ever told me I was beautiful before. Mom and Dad don't really pay attention to me, and Mr. Yang doesn't like to talk to me either; he seems to be busy with his own things."

From then on, the two innocent children gradually became close.

Solia ran to the garden to find the little boy who was always busy: "This is the dessert from Mom's afternoon tea; it's very sweet."

Ying Tuo accepted it with trepidation, his face carrying a faint sadness and shyness: "I... I can't give you anything, let me weave a flower wreath for you."

"Okay! I want a pink one."

Solia's mother, having heard some rumors, specifically ran to the garden to drag her away: "You are not allowed to mingle with the Selieu lowlifes. Without us providing jobs, these Selieu would have starved to death long ago!"

The gardener bowed and nodded desperately: "Madam, it is my son's fault; I will discipline him properly!"

"Hmph! Pay more attention to your status!" The noblewoman pulled her little daughter away, holding her head high.

But the young Solia completely ignored all this and still often came to find the boy to play in secret.

Thus, the two children gradually grew up.

Until one day, Ying Tuo accidentally saw dozens of tiny red dots suddenly appear on the girl's arm.

He immediately asked with concern: "What is going on?"

Solia wiped her tears, feeling wronged: "Dad's scientists developed the Symbiotic Armor; they didn't want outsiders to get it, but they didn't want my brother to suffer, so they had to use me for experiments."

"Does it hurt?"

"It hurts a lot, but Dad says it will get more and more painful before it succeeds! I don't know if I can make it through."

Ying Tuo looked at the girl crying with such heartbreak and, after thinking for a moment, said firmly: "Let me take the experiment for you."

"But, it really hurts a lot."

"It's okay, my skin is thick, I'm not afraid."

At Ying Tuo's insistence, those black nano-worms, many times smaller than ants, were transferred to his body.

In the later stages, the bone-corroding, heart-piercing pain made him roll on the ground, and the sweat and blood seeping out soaked a large patch of the garden soil.

Solia sat on the ground nearby, crying her heart out in distress: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you suffer for me."

Ying Tuo gasped for air, gritting his teeth and shivering: "Actually... it doesn't hurt that much. Thinking about those delicious snacks you gave me, it doesn't hurt as much."

The cruel experiment lasted for two years, just as it was nearing completion.

Solia suddenly made up her mind: "Take me away. Mom and Dad don't love me at all; I heard them chatting in secret. In the future, they will marry me off to those old and smelly noble men for the sake of political alliances. Then I will completely lose my freedom!"

"I don't want to stay in that house for another moment!"

After thinking for a moment, Ying Tuo revealed a firm gaze: "Three days. In three days, wait for me under that Cloud-Light Tree in the garden, and I will take you away!"

That afternoon, he found the tutor "Mr. Yang" and handed him a letter with both hands: "I am going out for a while. If I don't return, please trouble yourself to give this letter to the young miss. Please!"

Chu Xingyang took it, thinking to himself that he had been busy collecting intelligence for years. This young man must have truly existed in Solia's past life.

The Time Retrospection Device would not create a person to help with interactions.

Late that night, the only Selieu rebellion in history broke out in the Gaimu Star Nation.

Although they possessed the most cutting-edge weapon, the Symbiotic Armor, it was still extinguished just as they were nearing success.

Kept in the dark, Solia had been suppressing the excitement in her heart about escaping her cage for these past few days; even her shoulders trembled with excitement while she ate.

Even in her sleep, she was thinking about the scene of running toward freedom with Ying Tuo.

Three days later, she ran to the Cloud-Light Tree in the garden as promised to wait.

She waited and waited, but the person never came, yet she refused to give up.

She could only keep waiting persistently.

It wasn't until three months later that she collapsed and wept loudly in front of the tutor, Mr. Yang: "Mom said Ying Tuo stole money from the house and ran away. He even made me wait foolishly; these lowlifes are truly untrustworthy."

Just as Chu Xingyang was about to take out the letter, the entire world became blurry again.

He returned to the "divine might."

This time-travel, he had actually stayed at that point in time for several years.

But it was precisely because of this that he had fully understood the Gaimu Star Nation.

Chu Xingyang walked into the interrogation room.

Solia's gaze changed from dazed to astonished: "You... I remember now. You, a bishop of the Xingyang Civilization, actually served as my tutor! Mr. Yang!"

The bishop didn't speak but tossed an envelope over.

After opening it, it was naturally Ying Tuo's final letter.

"I'm sorry, Solia, I couldn't take you away. After you told me today that you would marry an old man in the future and lose your freedom, I decided to join the Selieu rebel army."

"I didn't want to join before because I felt this world wasn't that bad. Although I didn't have freedom, you did, and I could still see you often."

"When you said you would also lose your freedom, I had no choice but to join. The whole world is under the nose of your father; if we don't break this world, we will be found no matter where we run."

"If you are reading this letter, it means I failed. I'm sorry. But don't be sad for me; please continue to run freely and beautifully."

Solia's tears completely soaked the letter paper.
