86: Chapter 86 The Eight Planets

The massive body of the red giant was slowly shrinking.

A few days later, it finally vanished.

Because Chu Xingyang's stellar core had devoured the old sun, its diameter had grown from the original 1.4 million kilometers to the current 1.5 million kilometers.

He precisely controlled his flight angle, parking his own stellar body at the original position of the red giant.

Then, utilizing gravity, he rearranged the orbital paths of the outermost planets: Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

On White Star, the Liz People were astonished to discover that the ice giant they inhabited was no longer the outermost planet in the Solar System.

On the outer orbits, three new planets had appeared out of nowhere; the one closest to them was a gas giant with beautiful rings.

It was a size larger than White Star, which had a diameter of 50,000 kilometers!

Yu Lan excitedly broadcast to everyone in the Solar System via communication channels: "Our Solar System now has eight major planets. Let's welcome our new members: Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune!"

The Blue Star people and the Liz People were once again plunged into jubilation.

The mining company under the Divine Feather banner had already dispatched spacecraft to conduct surveys.

Meanwhile, the Liz People's tourist spacecraft were planning new travel routes.

The addition of these new members brought fresh vitality to this birthplace of the Xingyang Civilization.

Inside the "divine might", Chu Xingyang had a new thought, wondering if his transformation into a sun had a deeper purpose: to replace the Solar System that had already turned into a red giant in the Milky Way Galaxy?

However, things had changed, and people were no longer the same.

Aside from the possibility that those three outer planets might still bear the imprints of the old sun and perhaps still remember the glory of the Earth Humans.

But the old sun was dead; dead things could not be resurrected.

The old sun was not rising from the ashes.

Rather, he, the new sun, had occupied this place; he was the only sun!

However, some uninformed planets and civilizations clearly did not think so.

At this moment, on the Wandering Earth, an observer looking back at their homeland reported this massive change.

Elisa clutched the image, running toward Chu Yuhang, stumbling and weeping uncontrollably.

"Emperor, our Solar System has returned! It's back to how it was before; we can finally go home!"

Her tears gushed out uncontrollably.

Humanity had wandered for so many years, and having finally found a suitable sun, they had been defeated and suffered great humiliation.

But no matter how comfortable a golden nest or silver nest might be, it is not as good as one's own straw nest.

Now that the red giant had changed back into a young and vibrant sun, the Earth Humans could finally return to their homeland and end the long years of drifting through the universe.

Several high-ranking officials also walked over at this time, passing around the star chart to examine it.

While happy, some naturally raised questions about this strange phenomenon.

"How could a red giant reverse into a main-sequence star? And this sun looks a bit larger than the original one."

Everyone looked at each other, all wanting to get a convincing answer from one another.

Xiao Tonghe reminded the Emperor: "I don't think things are that simple. Look, this star system still has eight planets, just as before. But several were clearly devoured earlier, and we even had to flee!"

"So how could there still be eight? And what is going on with the third planet occupying the Habitable Zone?"

Elisa wiped away her tears and said with lingering fear: "Who cares? As long as it's not that annoying Blue Star, it's fine. I never want to see the people on it again."

Having suffered a setback and taken a huge fall on Blue Star last time, she felt like she had almost lost her life there.

Therefore, now that she had finally been released and escaped, she naturally never wanted to have contact with the Blue Star people again.

After thinking for a long time, Chu Yuhang finally made a decision: "Then let's go back and take a look! Return to the Milky Way Galaxy! Return to our birthplace!"

The people around them immediately burst into cheers.

Besides the Wandering Earth, civilizations located in the Milky Way Galaxy could see this heaven-shaking change even more intuitively.

Hundreds of civilizations immediately dispatched their faster-than-light spacecraft to investigate the truth.

On Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Solar System, the Trisolarans, whose survival was severely threatened by the chaotic three-sun system, finally saw Hope for their continued existence.

Countless observers reported this shocking piece of good news to their Leader.

"Several eras ago, we wanted to occupy the Solar System, but the sun's unexplained helium flash forced us to abandon the plan."

"But now, for some reason, it has suddenly returned to how it was before. Except for the sun being larger, brighter, and more stable, nothing has changed!"

The Trisolarans, salivating over a stable single star, immediately assembled a massive space fleet and promptly released three Sophons to scout for information.

However, what felt eerie was that as soon as these Sophons entered the Oort Cloud, they lost all contact, like a kite with a broken string.

Although they knew that Sophons, being the crystallization of Trisolaran high technology, would not suffer such low-level malfunctions, there must be some incredible secret behind this.

But the Trisolarans, unable to suppress their burning curiosity, set all their warships in motion and headed toward the Solar System.

When they passed through the Oort Cloud with excitement mixed with trepidation and arrived in the orbit of Blue Star.

They were astonished to find that all 11 Blue Star warships were leisurely docked in the space shipyards.

They didn't take their arrival seriously at all.

This made the Trisolaran Leader very angry. He cursed through the communicator: "What are you Earthlings? Pretending to be calm here? I'll give you three days to run away, or I will annihilate all of you!"

Yu Lan replied: "This is not Earth, and we are not Earth Humans. We are Blue Star people; you don't even know who we are? Why don't we just negotiate and discuss this first?"

A few days later, the Trisolaran Leader, having pondered for a while, brought tens of thousands of people to the surface of Blue Star.

Chu Xingyang, acting as the bishop, stared at them and asked indifferently: "You want to seize our Solar System that much?"

"Yes, we are tired of dehydrating and rehydrating. For a civilization to develop to be stronger, it must have a stable sun."

Tens of thousands of Trisolarans let out waves of sound to support their Leader.

Chu Xingyang widened his eyes: "Then why are you still dehydrating now that you are here?"

The Leader looked puzzled: "I'm not dehydrating; this is my normal form."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body was compressed into a shriveled state by an invisible pressure, and he sprayed a large amount of body fluid in all directions.

The surrounding Trisolarans wailed: "That's not how we dehydrate! Leader, you died so miserably, our beloved Leader!"

Chu Xingyang walked over expressionlessly, rolled up the Leader, and handed him to Yu Lan: "Use him as a seat cushion."

Since it was given by a god, Yu Lan naturally couldn't refuse. She could only take it with both hands and look at Xiliu, who was standing to the side: "In the future, I'll let you sit on my vice captain's chair; it will be very soft."
