Super Seminary: The opening exposes the Cyber ​​Heaven Civilization

When Tirena returned to Lieyang Star, General Pan Zhen was standing on the edge of the star that had been cut in half. The setting sun cast a long shadow of blood on him.

“Queen, you shouldn’t have gone to Cyber ​​Heaven.” Pan Zhen didn’t turn around, his voice low and weary. “You shouldn’t have asked for the method either.”

Tirena walked over and stood beside him. Before them lay a sheer, precipitous section of the star, its core exposed, magma solidified into jagged scars, like a sun with a bite taken out of it. Her heart clenched again.

“The General already knew how to repair it,” Tirena said softly, not as a question, but simply as a statement.

Pan Zhen remained silent for a long time.

“That method isn’t worth it.” He finally turned to look at the young queen. There was no anger in her eyes, only a firmness he had never seen before—something that could only be possessed after experiencing loss.

“Whether it’s worth it or not is for me to decide.” Tirena raised her head and looked directly at him. “The General has kept this from me for so long to protect me. But I am the Queen of Lieyang Star, and I should bear every wound on this planet.”

Pan Zhen bent his knees and knelt down heavily.

“Your Majesty, the Celestial Venerable is right. It will take thousands of years to repair the Sun Star with solar energy. During these thousands of years, your power will continue to diminish, and your life force will gradually weaken. In the end… you may become one with the Sun Star and no longer be able to exist in human form.” His voice trembled slightly. “I, Pan Zhen, will serve the Sun Star royal family with all my heart. I would rather this planet remain forever incomplete than see Your Majesty walk down that path.”

Tirena bent down and reached out to support his arms.

"General, you have toiled for me for too long and worked hard for the blazing sun for too long. Now, it is my turn."

Her tone was as calm as if she were talking about something completely ordinary. Pan Zhen looked up and saw a slight smile on her lips, a smile that contained relief, resolve, and a power that moved even this veteran who had seen countless life and death.

"Rise, General," said Tirena. "From today onward, I will be in seclusion to stabilize the sun's energy. I will need you to continue to share the burden of all matters, large and small, on Lieyang Star."

Pan Zhen slowly stood up, his lips moved a few times, and finally he only said one sentence: "Yes, sir."

For the next hundred years, Tirena never left the planet Lieyang.

She secluded herself in the deepest part of the star's core, taming the raging solar energy within her day after day. It was a silent war, without an enemy, yet more dangerous than any other battle. The solar energy was like a runaway horse; the slightest misstep could backfire and burn her to ashes.

Every day, the Great General would stand outside the secluded cultivation room for fifteen minutes, silent and still. Sometimes, Nezha would deliver some pills to stabilize the primordial spirit on the orders of the Heavenly Venerable. Although Su Mu said he didn't want to get involved with the universe, he ultimately didn't completely stand idly by.

For the first fifty years, Tyrena could barely control the leakage of energy. When she emerged from seclusion, the entire planet Lieyang felt that warm aura, like parched land receiving its first rain.

In her first hundred years, she began attempting to inject solar energy into the wounds of a star. It felt like watering a dying tree with her own blood; each delivery was accompanied by excruciating pain, but she persevered.

In the third hundred years, the first ray of light appeared on the half of the planet that had been shaved off. It was not fire, not magma, but pure, warm light that belonged to the planet Lieyang itself.

In the fifth hundred years, white hair began to appear at Tirena's temples.

Her body was aging at a visible rate, but her eyes grew brighter and brighter, like two small suns. The general saw this and his heart ached, but he never uttered a word of dissuasion. For he knew this was the Queen's path, and her glory.

Seven hundred years later, the planet Lieyang had largely recovered. Its once-exposed core was now covered by a new layer of star matter, and golden flames reignited on its charred scars. Tirena's power was reduced to a mere tenth, but her will remained as firm as a rock.

Nine hundred years later, Nezha from the Cyber ​​Heavenly Court visited again. He saw Tirena standing on the repaired Lieyang Star, her figure much thinner than before, but her back ramrod straight.

"Sister Tirena, the Heavenly Venerable asked me to ask you a question: can you still hold on?" Little Nezha was unusually serious, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

Tirena smiled slightly, a smile like the last ray of warm sunshine in winter.

"Tell the Heavenly Venerable that we can hold on. There are only a hundred years left."

The first millennium. On this day, all living beings on the planet Lieyang felt an unprecedented warmth. Golden light surged from the depths of the star's core, rushing forward along every vein, filling the final crack. The half that had been cut away was finally whole again.

The blazing sun has been restored to its original state.

Tirena stood at the highest point of the planet, looking down upon this reborn world. Her body was almost transparent, as if she might turn into a ray of light at any moment and vanish into the world. Her long hair was completely white, like it was covered with a layer of frost.

General Pan Zhen and all the Lieyang warriors knelt before her, the tough men with tears streaming down their faces.

"Your Majesty, it's done... Lieyang Star is done!"

Tirena nodded gently, her voice very soft, like the wind blowing through the embers of a setting sun.

"General, from now on, the Star of Blazing Sun is yours."

Pan Zhen suddenly looked up: "Your Majesty, you—"

“I’m still here,” Tirena said with a smile, “but from now on, I might exist in a different way. You see—”

She stretched out her hand, palm open, and a warm, golden sphere of light floated within. The sphere of light slowly rose into the air, merging into the atmosphere of the planet Lieyang, transforming into a new mini-sun, gently illuminating the entire planet.

Tirena's body gradually faded in the light, but her voice echoed clearly in the ears of every citizen of the blazing sun.

"I will always be here, watching over the blazing sun, forever."

On that day, everyone on Lieyang Star saw the same sight: their queen transformed into a small sun, forever hanging in the sky above Lieyang Star. The light was gentle and calm, neither violent nor blinding, warming every inch of the land just right.

In the Cyber ​​Heavenly Court, Nezha stood behind Su Mu, gazing at the distant Lieyang Star, his eyes red-rimmed.

"Heavenly Venerable One, Sister Tirena, she..."

Su Mu glanced up and said calmly, "She has found her own path."

"But she can never turn back." Little Nezha sniffed.

Su Mu remained silent for a moment, then a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

"Who says she can't turn back? Once she truly merges with the Sun Star, a thousand years later, when the Sun Star's energy is powerful enough, she will naturally re-form. At that time, she will no longer be just a queen who relies on the Sun's energy—she herself will be a sun."

Little Nezha's eyes widened: "Heavenly Venerable, you knew this would happen all along?"

Su Mu did not answer, but stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the newborn light on the horizon.

The thousand-year promise has finally come to fruition.

And that young queen, who once desperately sought any treatment, used her entire life to illuminate her planet with eternal light.

The story spread throughout the myriad realms, evoking sighs, admiration, and bewilderment. But every citizen of the Blazing Sun Star remembered the Queen's last words before her disappearance—

"To be a king, one must be both the shield and the flame of the stars."

The sky over Lieyang Star never darkened again. [The End of Book] (End of Chapter)
