Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1757 Unwavering Love (First Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Su Buyan didn't know how to answer, and subconsciously looked at Zong Ruoning.

Zong Ruoning gritted her teeth and said resolutely, "I won't hide it from Lieutenant General Xia, there is indeed danger."

"Moreover, there is absolutely a risk to their lives!"

"But I have to go!"

Xia Chujian asked curiously, "What place is it? Is Young Master Zong really determined to go there?"

Zong Ruoning said, "I'm showing Lieutenant General Xia a message."

As he spoke, a message from the quantum optical brain wristwatch appeared on the virtual display screen.

[Zong Weiping]: Shuangluo, I'm back. I don't know how the Southern Cross became like this. I might not be able to go home.

Xia Chujian didn't realize who "Zong Weiping" was at first.

She simply frowned and said, "Southern Cross, now it's the Zerg's domain."

"This relative of yours...is he really your relative? I think his surname is Zong...did he accidentally get trapped in the Southern Cross?"

"As far as I know, the Southern Cross Starfield sealed off all wormholes connecting to the Northern Star System two years ago."

"Now even the last wormhole leading to the front line on Shaofu Star has been destroyed. How did you, my dear family member, manage to get through it?"

"So, you want me to go with you to the Southern Cross to save your loved one?"

Xia Chujian was unhappy at this moment.

She wanted to go because she was interested in seeing what the Zerg were up to at the Southern Cross.

But I don't want to rescue those nobles who are forbidden from going and yet create conditions to go and cause trouble for others.

"Going to that place at a time like this is purely asking for trouble... Sorry, please forgive my bluntness."

"Let me be clear from the start: I cannot guarantee that I can save this person."

Xia Chujian finished speaking in one breath, and seeing that Zong Ruoning looked a little embarrassed, she quickly apologized.

Zong Ruoning gave a wry smile and said, "This person is my father, my biological father."

Xia Chujian's eyes widened suddenly, and she finally realized who this "Zong Weiping" was!
Zong Weiping, the Imperial Marshal and Chief of the General Staff, one of the five chiefs of staff, thirty-one years ago!

The most powerful person in the military!
It can be said that they were the only authoritative representatives of the four noble families in the high-ranking military.

After Zong Weiping, the four noble families disappeared from the high ranks of the military.

Back then, in an interstellar war with the Principality of Southern Cross, Zong Weiping's interstellar fleet won a great victory, but on the way back, they encountered a spatial rift and became trapped inside it.

His wife, Su Shuangluo, was the twin sister of the high priest Su Yanxing!

Su Yanxing, of course, is Su Buyan's father.

Su Buyan and Zong Ruoning are definitely cousins.

No wonder he sought my help through Su Buyan...

Xia Chujian was even more surprised.

"Young Master Zong, your father was trapped in a spatial rift thirty-one years ago. Could it be that he has emerged from the spatial rift again?"

"Is there any historical record of this?"

Su Buyan then said, "Such a thing has been recorded in history before."

“A thousand years ago, a member of the Tantai royal family went missing, supposedly trapped in a spatial rift.”

"But ten years after he was trapped in the spatial rift, he returned."

He died peacefully in the capital.

Xia Chujian listened with curiosity and said, "...Is that so? I don't think this person is mentioned in the history books?"

Su Buyan looked at her and said, "Given your current position, you can also find out about this."

"That member of the royal family actually went to Green Star and got lost in a spacetime rift there."

"But the history of the empire only records that he disappeared there, but does not record that he later returned."

Xia Chujian was greatly surprised.

Then I remembered the nineteen humanoid sculptures I had seen on Green Star!

Those are all human-shaped sculptures formed by casting special raw materials on the outside of real people as skeletons.

Moreover, she remembered that a total of twenty people had gone missing on Green Star.

However, there were only nineteen sculptures there, one person was missing.

At the time, she was still guessing whether the missing person was a member of the royal family from a thousand years ago, or the illegitimate son of that emperor from nineteen years ago...

In retrospect, the missing person was that member of the royal family from a thousand years ago.

Because he wasn't in the other dimension of Green Star at all; he had already gone back.

Xia Chujian seemed to be deep in thought, and said, "So, that member of the royal family a thousand years ago didn't die on Green Star, but in the capital of Beichen Star?"

Su Buyan sighed, nodded, and said, "You only know one side of the story, not the other."

"Actually, that person is not an ordinary member of the royal family."

"He is the emperor who suddenly disappeared a thousand years ago."

"He didn't die suddenly; he just went to Green Star and got trapped there."

"Because of his disappearance, the Tantai royal family was leaderless for a time, and the army was also in chaos for a period of time." "This led to the three governors, Wenren, Nansi and Zuolun, holding their own armies and rebelling against the Tantai royal family, splitting the Beichen Empire and establishing three countries: the Eastern Tianyuan Divine Kingdom, the Southern Cross Star Principality and the Western Manelli Federation."

"Seeing the situation was not good, the Tantai royal family stopped searching for the missing emperor and directly announced his sudden death. They then urgently enthroned the crown prince and regained control of the army."

"Ten years later, the missing emperor returned."

"However, he was already seriously injured and had no ability left. After returning, he made his final arrangements to the crown prince, who had already ascended the throne, and then passed away."

"Before he passed away, he brought back a major piece of news: the existence of Green Star and its coordinates in the sky."

"For this reason, the Tantai royal family cannot completely erase his existence and contributions."

"In historical records, it is said that he was just a member of the Tantai royal family, and that he discovered a new habitable planet, Green Star, while traveling abroad."

"But the existence of this green star is very strange."

"Because a thousand years have passed since then, and no one has been able to find the existence of that planet."

Even if there are specific star coordinates.

"Until twenty years ago, it reappeared in the world."

"But this time, the Tantai royal family has lost another member."

Xia Chujian nodded.

She knew it was the legendary illegitimate son of the emperor.

That was a prince who was even older than the legitimate eldest prince.

Because he was an illegitimate child, he did not have the right to inherit the throne, nor did he have the formal status of a member of the royal family.

However, all his supplies and treatment were in accordance with those of a prince.

Su Buyan knows more about these things than anyone else does.

Although he was not a member of the Tantai royal family, his Su clan had been the high priests of the Beichen Empire for generations.

They probably know more about the dirty dealings within the royal family than many members of the royal family do.

Xia Chujian clicked her tongue: "So the emperor who returned was trapped on Green Star, how can you say it's a spatial rift?"

Su Buyan said, "To be precise, it is a spatial rift on Green Star."

Xia Chujian's eyes flickered slightly, and she said "Oh". She thought to herself, if this can be considered a spatial rift, then she is also a survivor from a "spatial rift", along with Qin Wanglan and the other eight people.

However, she certainly wouldn't mention her own experience, but asked curiously, "Did he say how he escaped from the spatial rift?"

Su Bu said, "The records of the royal family are not very detailed."

"It's just that he fell into a spatial rift on Green Star."

"It's filled with chaotic cosmic rays, making it difficult for anyone to survive."

"He experienced many unexpected encounters, and finally found a weak point in the spatial rift. When it overlapped with the boundary wall on the Green Star side, he took the opportunity to escape."

Xia Chujian didn't believe it: "...That simple?"

Su Buyan shook his head and said, "I don't believe it either."

"Because if it were that simple, then spatial rifts wouldn't be so terrifying."

"Do you know how many of our soldiers were trapped in spatial rifts during the interstellar war?"

"And how many people escaped the spatial rift?"

Xia Chujian shook her head: "...I don't know."

Su Buyan said, "Over the past ten thousand years, there are specific records of 45,000 starships and a total of six million people that have been trapped in spatial rifts."

"And not a single one of them escaped back."

"Therefore, I have never really believed the historical records of the Tantai royal family in this regard, especially the content concerning the emperor who went missing on Green Star."

Xia Chujian said, "It's obvious that they are either lying or only telling one side of the truth."

Su Buyan said, "So, this time, when Zong Ruoning said that his father sent a message saying that he had actually escaped from the spatial rift, I was skeptical, but more curious than anything else."

"I also really want to know if all of this is true."

Zong Ruoning said, "My mother believed it without a doubt and immediately sent a message to my father."

“My father also replied with two messages.”

As he spoke, he projected two new messages onto the virtual display screen.

[Zong Weiping]: Shuangluo, that's me. I'm not dead, I'm still alive. It's just that the experiences of these past years are hard to explain in a few words.

[Zong Weiping]: The spatial rift I fell into was very strange, as if it were a constantly looping spacetime. Over and over again, I witnessed a history that I had never experienced before.

Xia Chujian's heart skipped a beat when she saw this.

This is no ordinary spatial rift.

This might not even be a real spatial rift!

Rather... it's the Ursus timeline!
Xia Chujian quickly deduced that the so-called loss of Zong Weiping in the spatial rift of the star battlefield was not the truth.

The truth is, he was captured by Ursus at a specific point in time!
I just don't know exactly which point in time...

Furthermore, why did Ursus capture Zong Weiping and throw him into His timeline?
