Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1768 Time Loop (Second Update)

Xia Chujian nodded: "I will make my own judgment."

She suspected that what Zong Weiping fell into was actually a timeline in Ursus, not a spatial rift in a broader sense.

If his account aligns with her understanding of the "Ursus timeline," then it must be true.

Conversely, we need to reassess the world he entered, whether it was a spatial rift or a time node.

In this regard, no one is more authoritative than Xia Chujian.

She composed herself and listened attentively to Zong Weiping's story.

Zong Weiping said, "I survived thanks to the high-grade nutrient solution I carried with me."

"You may not believe it, but in your eyes, it has been thirty years, but in my memory, I only stayed in that place for three years."

"When we go on expeditions, we usually carry five years' worth of high-grade nutrient solution."

Xia Chujian was surprised, but then thought it was normal.

After all, Zong Weiping didn't go to a spatial rift, but to Ursus's timeline.

Since it's a time point, it's normal for some time-related anomalies to occur.

Xia Chujian nodded: "I believe you."

Zong Weiping gave her a strange look and found that she didn't seem to be faking it or just being perfunctory, but genuinely believed it.

Zong Weiping relaxed slightly and continued, "At that time, when I fell into that spatial rift, everything went black before my eyes, and then I lost all sense of time and space."

"When I first went in, I was thinking of opening my eyes wide to see clearly what was going on."

"But once I fell in, my thoughts seemed to stop."

"Unable to see anything, hear anything, or even think."

"I don't know what state I'm in."

"I don't know how long I stayed in that state."

"In short, when my five senses returned and my consciousness returned to normal, I found myself in an unfamiliar place."

"The time there should be different from the time in reality."

"I watched it like it was happening on fast forward, over and over again."

"A thousand years or ten thousand years is just a blink of an eye to me."

"I watched over and over again some strange, large creatures that looked like lizards walking from the seabed to the shore."

"Watching them mate with humans and give birth to a humanoid offspring."

"But these humanoid descendants cannot maintain their human form indefinitely."

"They will have to disappear from the land and return to the seabed after they are about thirty-five years old."

"Because they will turn into giant toads."

"Even with human genes, their human form cannot be maintained for long."

"However, these creatures can live forever."

When Xia Chujian first saw it, she was still guessing what it was.

It wasn't until Zong Weiping said that those guys could live forever that she suddenly realized what was going on.

Haidagon!
And it looks like a giant toad!
It really is Haidagon!

Summer's arrival in early summer invigorated me.

So the timing of Zong Weiping's visit was actually related to a historical event involving Haidagon...

She asked excitedly, "And then what? You just watch... the history of these monsters repeat itself over and over again?"

Zong Weiping paused for a moment and said, "It's not a cycle."

“I saw the history of those monsters repeat many times, and then one of the monsters received ‘divine revelation’ and learned how to maintain its human form forever.”

"It passed this method down."

Xia Chujian asked curiously, "Is that amazing? What method is it? Do you know it?"

Zong Weiping said, "I saw it, but I don't know much about it."

"Because the monster that received the 'divine revelation' seems to have accidentally entered a spatial rift."

"After it came out, it claimed that it had received 'divine revelation'."

"It painted a picture."

"That's a picture of the starry sky."

"They say there's a way to keep them in human form forever on a certain planet in that star chart."

"Once this method is found, they won't have to leave humans and return to live on the seabed before they reach the age of thirty-five."

Xia Chujian asked, "What kind of star chart? Do you remember it?"

Zong Weiping smiled and pointed to his head: "If Lieutenant General Xia can give me a rest, I can still remember."

"But right now, my mind is filled with too much recurring junk information, and I need to clear it out."

Xia Chujian knew that it wasn't very proper of her to rush Zong Weiping to ask about his past.

However, she worried that the Ursus timeline would have an irreversible impact on Zong Weiping's memory.

For example, she discovered that the information in her memory about the Ursus timeline had begun to fade.

I can't remember some of the details.

Fortunately, she had already recorded all those things on the quantum optical computer.

This way, even if you forget something, you can still look back at your records.

She also recorded what Zong Weiping had just said.

This way, even if Zong Weiping forgets, she still has a backup.

She has now obtained very valuable first-hand information.

Xia Chujian pushed Zong Weiping's wheelchair out.

As soon as she opened the ward door, she saw Zong Ruoning pushing a very high-end-looking wheelchair, waiting in front of the ward door.

Su Shuangluo stood beside him. Zong Weiping was taken aback.

His gaze was completely drawn to Zong Ruoning.

Su Shuangluo walked to his side, smiled and took the wheelchair from Xia Chujian's hands, pushing it out as she said, "Ruoning, this is your father."

“Weiping, this is our son, Ruoning, Zong Ruoning.”

"You weren't there at the time, I gave birth to him all by myself..."

Zong Weiping's eyes widened.

He never expected that after being away for thirty years, he would have such a grown son!

When Su Shuangluo came in just now, the couple didn't even have time to pour out their hearts to each other, let alone mention the child...

He only realized what was happening when he saw a man who looked very much like him.

He looked at Zong Ruoning with surprise and said, "Ruoning? Yes, that's the name I discussed with your mother."

"We've said before that this name can be used by both boys and girls!"

"Ruoning, my child..."

He was sitting in a wheelchair, but he reached out his hand to Zong Ruoning.

Zong Ruoning could no longer suppress her excitement.

He walked over from behind the wheelchair, knelt on one knee on Zong Weiping's face, and pressed his cheek into Zong Weiping's palm.

"Father...Father...You're back..."

“Father…my father, I have a father too…”

Even in front of so many people, Zong Ruoning still burst into tears.

Although it is said that men do not easily shed tears, there is another saying: "It's only because the time for heartbreak has not yet come."

He is currently experiencing extreme emotional fluctuations.

At this time, crying is the best thing to do.

Similarly, everyone remained silent, watching the family of three huddle together and cry.

Grandpa Zong looked at his son, whom he had lost and then found again, and his eyes were filled with tears.

However, he managed to hold back his tears.

Both Su Buyan and Su Buyu were quite moved, and without prior arrangement, they both raised their hands to wipe away the tears from the corners of their eyes.

Ying Chenbi collapsed into tears on Su Yanxing's shoulder.

Seeing Zong Weiping reminded her of her elder brother and the more than three hundred lives lost by the Ying family.

Although the culprit has been brought to justice, the dead can never return.

In the dead of night, she would think of her family home.

Now that she sees Zong Weiping back, she is filled with mixed emotions.

Xia Yuanfang performed the duties of a doctor, monitoring Zong Weiping's physical condition.

The wheelchair where Zong Weiping is sitting has such a health monitoring system.

She was relieved that the data didn't fluctuate much.

After the family of three had finished crying, Xia Chujian clapped her hands and said, "Today is a happy day."

"If you'd like, I'll treat you all to dinner."

Grandpa Zong was somewhat dismissive and was about to say "No need," when Su Buyan suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "That's wonderful! Thank you for our first meeting!"

He turned to his parents and sister and said, "The food at General Xia's house is absolutely amazing!"

"You'll know once you've tried it!"

Zong Ruoning also came to her senses and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to have made Lieutenant General Xia laugh at me."

"However, I also really hope to eat at General Xia's home."

"Especially for my parents. They have been separated for thirty years and have just been reunited today. The best gift for them is the food from General Xia's family."

Xia Chujian: "..."

With all these compliments, they've practically placed her on a pedestal!

However, Xia Chujian is generally not affected by this kind of "stimulation," except when it comes to cooking.

Huo Yushen was a little displeased, but when he caught a glimpse of Xia Chujian's expression out of the corner of his eye, he knew that she wasn't unwilling, so he didn't say anything.

Su Buyan said, "I have some freshly delivered seafood from my estate. Does General Xia need any of this?"

Xia Chujian said, "As for seafood, it's fine to cook a whole table of it."

"If you eat it with other dishes, it will affect the taste of each other, so it is not recommended to eat them at the same time."

Su Buyan immediately said, "Then forget it! Actually, any home-cooked food from your family is fine! I'm not picky!"

Su Yanxing, Ying Chenbi, and Su Buyu stared at Su Buyan in disbelief.

They were all thinking, "Is this the same son/elder brother who was such a picky eater since he was little, almost to the point of starving himself to the point of stunted growth?!"

They all became curious as well.

Is the food at Xia Chujian's house really that delicious?

Xia Chujian had already decided on the dishes in her mind.

Fresh wild rhinoceros meat, which is now extinct in the market, is definitely something I have to show off.

Braised, steamed, stir-fried, or used in soup—we want them all.

There are at least three different ways to eat beef horn.

Then there's the phoenix-tailed luan bird, which is excellent for making soup, and its meat is also very tender and nutritious.

Adding a little bit of their family's special seasonings, such as mulberry leaves, should be very beneficial to Zong Weiping's recovery.

Xia Chujian was overjoyed to have received such a generous gift from the Zong family, and to have also taken the opportunity to kill the insect race's last hope—the insect queen.

　There will be a new update at 12:05 AM!
