Chapter 1745 The Big Picture (First Update)
Different times and spaces in the same location.

At this moment, Xia Chujian was watching as Tantai Lin ascended the throne as the Empress's only male consort, from the perspective of an invisible bystander.

She floated above the palace hall, reflecting on what she had seen there during this time.

Time flies by in a flash, enough for her to realize that what is a moment to her is already a lifetime for these people here.

Having witnessed so many ups and downs, she realized that although Empress Qi Sha was a bit love-struck, this empire was one she had truly built up.

At this time, the three dukes of the empire, the Su, Quan, and Zong clans, were still loyal to her.

If Tantai Lin wants to take the stage, he can't bypass these three families.

Later, Tantai Lin also promised many benefits, including fully solidifying the empire's aristocratic system.

Thus, from this time onward, the noble titles in the Beichen Empire became fixed.

If no nobles are stripped of their titles, there will be no available positions for noble titles, and therefore no new noble families can become nobles.

Moreover, the number of nobles was basically fixed.

Only direct relatives within five generations of the heir to a noble title are eligible to have such a title.

Relatives beyond the fifth generation no longer enjoy noble titles and are downgraded to citizens.

The three dukes were legally guaranteed that they would never be stripped of their titles or implicated in any association with others.

Even if there were traitors among the three dukes, only the ringleaders would be executed.

Only after making concessions to this extent did the three dukes finally agree to allow Tantai Lin to ascend the throne.

This happened three years after Qi Sha and Po Jun passed away.

Today, Tantai Lin has finally cleared all obstacles and officially ascended the throne, beginning the process of changing the history and memory of this empire.

At the very moment Tantai Lin was performing the sacrificial ceremony, Xia Chujian clearly saw a wisp of bloody flesh silently emerge from the place where he was offering his sacrifice, and then quickly merge into the depths of the palace.

Sensing that familiar aura, Xia Chujian gasped.

That is... the primordial flesh and blood of Ursus!
Who would have thought that there would be such a lump of flesh beneath the imperial palace on Beichen Star?!

So, did she actually wipe out all of Ursus?!

……

Huo Yushen also appeared in the same place.

However, he, Xia Chujian, and Empress Tantai Zijun all lived in different times and spaces.

The timeline where Huo Yushen lived was when Empress Qi Sha was about to give birth.

Empress Qi Sha's male consort, Lin Pojun, was rushing to the delivery room.

However, he suddenly stopped when he was about to reach the palace where Empress Qisha was giving birth.

He looked at Huo Yushen standing by the wall and asked in confusion, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Huo Yushen was surprised that he could see him. After thinking for a moment, he made up an excuse and said, "I came here from the future to remind you that Tantai Lin is about to launch a coup."

"He wants to kill Qi Sha and your child so he can seize the throne himself."

Po Jun's face immediately turned ashen, and he said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Somebody come!"

Two guards walked up behind him.

Po Jun pointed to the spot where Huo Yushen was standing by the wall and said, "Arrest him!"

His guards looked at each other, then said in unison, "Your Highness, there is no one here!"

Po Jun was greatly surprised.

He glanced at Huo Yushen, then at his guards, and asked tentatively, "You really didn't see anyone here?!"

The two guards shook their heads together and called over more guards.

Sure enough, none of them saw Huo Yushen standing by the wall.

Seeing this, Po Jun quickly patted his forehead and said, "I was too anxious. I didn't sleep at all last night. I was probably hallucinating."

"let's go!"

As he walked, he glanced back at Huo Yushen by the wall.

Clearly, he didn't completely believe Huo Yushen's words, but he didn't completely disbelieve them either.

Then, Huo Yushen saw that he had made some preparations.

For example, she secretly brought Tantai Lin's child with his mistress into the palace and replaced her own newborn child with Qi Sha.

However, his response was still too narrow-minded.

He only spared the lives of himself and Qi Sha's child, but did not have time to save his own and Qi Sha's lives.

Of course, the more important reason was that Huo Yushen arrived just hours before Tantai Lin's coup.

In such a short time, the fact that he could think of leaving a way out for his child is already an extraordinary achievement.

Huo Yushen was watching this scene with emotion when he suddenly felt dizzy and then everything went black. He found himself as if he had been "squeezed" out of the entire space-time.

When he fell from the sky as if weightless, he found himself back on the lawn of the Xia family manor.

The starry sky above was gradually turning light.

At this moment, She Zhuyin was also killing the last piece of "Primordial Flesh and Blood" of Ursus in the sky.

……

At the same time, Xia Chujian, who was watching Tantai Lin ascend the throne, also felt uneasy.

She suddenly realized that the filthy, blood-red energy of the "primordial flesh and blood" that had just sunk to the bottom of the palace was gradually dissipating before her eyes.

Then, everything in front of her went black, like a black curtain falling from the sky and covering her head.

Like a paper doll, she was propelled from this point in time by a powerful force, floating lightly to another place. ...

Opening my eyes, I saw an extremely silent sky, deep and dark, as black as ink since time immemorial.

The stars here have no light, only a deathly silence, like tiny black dots scattered across the sky.

Xia Chujian suddenly felt that the scene here was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

She couldn't help but ask, "Qi Lu, do you know where this is?"

Qi Lu's youthful voice exclaimed excitedly, "Master! This place is actually recorded in Qi Lu's database!"

"This place is called the Death Star Domain!"

"It is said that a very brilliant civilization once existed here millions of years ago."

"Later, for some unknown reason, this place suddenly fell into disrepair, and civilization disappeared!"

Xia Chujian: "..."

"Was it originally called the Death Star Domain?"

Qilu said, "It shouldn't have been called this before. It was only after life ceased to exist that it was called the Death Star Domain."

"It is said that the most powerful thing here is not what is obvious, but its dark side."

Xia Chujian asked, puzzled, "...What does 'dark side' mean?"

Qi Lu said, "I don't know the specifics. My database only says that the dark side of the Death Star is the most terrifying place in the entire universe."

Xia Chujian: "..."

Her gaze was fixed ahead.

The vast starry sky was utterly silent.

The dead stars seem to remain frozen in a silent abyss; only death can make them eternal.

However, in this suffocating, almost perfect, eternal silence, the void suddenly trembled, like ripples spreading across a lake.

Immediately afterwards, the ripples grew larger and faster, shaking the entire starry sky as if a phantom image appeared.

Then, with a loud bang, space itself cracked open.

The deafening roar seemed to explode deep within the soul, as if the very foundation of the universe had been brutally torn apart.

As Xia Chujian looked out over the center of the star field, the smooth structure of the starry sky suddenly twisted like a convex lens, as if it had been violently pierced by an invisible giant fist.

The shattered fragments of spacetime scattered silently, each carrying a silvery-white light, only to be completely swallowed up by the newly born darkness in an instant.

As fragments of spacetime rippled and spread, wisps of clouds rolled in, forming a giant funnel before her eyes.

Then, at the center of the cloud funnel, an ancient stone tablet slowly emerged from the shattered void.

It silently revealed itself, and in the blink of an eye, it stood tall in this desolate starry sky.

Xia Chujian was dumbfounded.

What a huge stone tablet it was!
Its monument is probably tens of thousands of kilometers high.

Looking up, you can't see the horizon at all.

Suspended in the starry sky, not connected to any celestial bodies, it seems to stand steadily at the intersection of four-dimensional space.

No matter how gravitational storms or dark matter tides pass by, they cannot shake it in the slightest.

Its outline appears as if it were carved by a knife and axe, with rough edges and no trace of postmodern high technology, yet it is perfectly natural, possessing a breathtaking geometric perfection.

So vast that it made the entire starry sky crawl and tremble.

Its soaring silhouette seemed poised to burst through the edge of the starry sky visible in early summer.

Its monument is shrouded in a misty chaos, like solidified starlight, or a door to a subspace world.

The chaotic mist continued to expand, making the entire dark and silent starry sky seem to light up again.

The surface of the monument is extremely rough, as if it had been scratched by countless cosmic rays, or as if it had been forcibly compressed and forged by the ashes left after countless stars had perished.

Upon closer inspection, the surface of the tall monument is inscribed with ancient characters and depicts many winding lines.

It seems to have come from ancient times, carrying secrets that the world has yet to unravel.

Xia Chujian couldn't help but ask, "Qi Lu, is this... a monument?"

"How can it be so big!"

Qi Lu's youthful voice carried a hint of uncertainty and confusion as he asked, "Master, can you tell that it's a monument?"

Xia Chujian said, "Yes, isn't it obvious?"

Such a huge thing standing there, how could Qi Lu not see it?!
That's strange!

Qi Lu said, "...Master, this thing is very peculiar."

"My detection instruments show that it does not belong to any civilization, nor does it exist in my database."

"Moreover, this thing is made of neither gold nor stone; it is not any kind of rock, wood, or metal that I am familiar with."

"Most importantly, my detection system cannot fully observe the entire object."

“It loses contact with me once every 0.1 seconds.”

"It seems that its very existence is a negation of the act of observation."

"This phenomenon is very similar to an important theory in quantum physics."

Xia Chujian became even more curious: "Qi Lu can't observe this thing completely? What kind of quantum physics theory is that?"

 There will be a new update at 12:05 PM.
