It still works.

Liu Sheng put it away first.

The most urgent task is still the first test flight of the Xianzhou spacecraft.

Emerging from the high-dimensional analysis, the countdown had exactly 22 seconds remaining.

But there are still many things to deal with.

The first thing to do is upgrade the Immortal Ship.

It is evolving towards becoming a "flagship industrial ship" based on blueprints collected from the Instant Wind Transport Space Station.

The structure of this ship is the most advanced that Liu Sheng has ever seen.

Whether it's the "Golden Crow Civilization," which was just a simple ship enveloping a star, or the imaginative but somewhat crude model of the early Celestial Ships, or the spaceships left on this planet by the Federal Empire to maintain a semblance of grandeur, none of them can compare.

As for Professor Tang's even more insane spaceship...

Ahem, that's outside the scope of evaluation.

Not only is the technology quite mature, but it also includes the stargate jump technology that Liu Sheng has been longing for.

Therefore, the most important aspect of the transformation is the propulsion and power system.

The main engine has been decided, which is the "Golden Crow Engine" that Liu Sheng originally used, which uses controlled nuclear fusion as its core power source; the auxiliary engine is the "Class B Jump Engine" that can perform stargate crossings.

"Rank B? So, there are also Rank A and Rank S?"

Liu Sheng's heart stirred slightly.

The world rolled its eyes silently.

Alright, stop being so greedy.

Subsequently, Liu Sheng isolated a fuel tank within his body using a threshold space, placed the stellar-level "Golden Crow Fire Seed" inside, and generated inscriptions to connect it to the entire engine circuit.

From now on, the celestial vessel will possess propulsion capabilities approaching the speed of light and will be able to achieve interstellar travel via stargates.

Other modifications are closer to structural improvements.

For example, the energy system, defense system, living and life support modules, industrial area, research area, planting area and cargo hold, etc., will be iterated again to meet the industrial standards of rapid wind transport.

The second thing is the navigation system.

Import the memorized star map into the current navigation system and connect it to "Tian'er Lake" to attempt to scan the nearby star field to generate a panoramic navigation module.

Unfortunately, the area was still shrouded in the abyss, and all the probe beams sent out were almost instantly annihilated, making it impossible to obtain any effective echoes.

This is also why we haven't been able to launch the Heavenly Sword for exploration recently. Liu Sheng has good reason to suspect that even if the Immortal Ship breaks through the nearby dark zone, it will definitely be lost for a period of time. Therefore, having a star map for guidance is still very necessary.

The third thing is the travel agreement.

When Liu Sheng finally saw the relevant information about the "passage protocol" in the database, he was naturally pleasantly surprised.

But disappointment followed, because she discovered that this access protocol wasn't something she could just use right away.

This agreement originally belonged to "Shunfeng Express Holdings Group" and was registered with the StarNet official navigation certification system. The agreement detailed all licensed ships—even down to their serial numbers.

However, she later learned that the passage protocol would automatically generate a number the moment the spaceship successfully entered space.

From then on, one can use this number to pass through stargates, enter other star systems, and land on all planets under this authentication system.

So the numbering isn't the problem; the problem is the protocol.

If she rashly uses the agreement with Shunfeng Express, on the one hand, she doesn't know whether the other party's registered ships have reached the quota limit, and on the other hand, she will be directly exposed to the other party's regulatory system.

She had offended Shunfeng Suyun and didn't want her presence to be discovered, and then be chased down from afar.

When two waves of aliens arrive, that will be truly spectacular.

Therefore, she needs to reapply.

Therefore, before leaving the high-dimensional analysis, the "world" was instructed to quickly apply for a pass protocol according to the authentication system's URL.

However, it was soon discovered that the application needed to be made in the name of a company, and just then, "New World Group"—full name "New World Holdings Limited"—came in handy.

Since the Special Bureau had lost its power and a new regime had been established, the people and land now belonged to the "New World Group," therefore, according to the assessment:
With a sufficient population, extensive jurisdiction, and adequate technological capabilities, all indicators are very healthy.

A "passing agreement" was issued.

This is the exclusive agreement of the New World Group.

However, this is only a trial version. To upgrade to the full version, it will require sufficient flight mileage, more powerful ships, a larger territory and population, and will undergo on-site evaluation and assessment.

However, the trial version allows registration of three ships.

It can also pass through a hundred stargates.

That should be enough for now... right?

……

It sounds like a lot of things, but in reality, Liu Sheng's "world" is operating at an extremely fast pace.

While the Immortal Ship is evolving, quickly generate a report on the plan adjustments and send it to Nangong Wan, who is still at the Snow Mountain training conference.

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

The world below was just beginning to brighten.

The countdown stopped at 21 seconds.

There is still nearly half an hour before the test flight.

With speeches from leaders at various levels preceding the launch and the engine warm-up for the Xianzhou spacecraft, there was ample time.

With her mind at ease, Liu Sheng looked up and saw Qiao Yu, Ling Xiaoshu, and Wang Qingguang sitting together, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

He went over and sat down.

But they found everyone silent, just drinking their tea in silence.

He drank several cups in a row, as if it were some kind of celestial nectar.

She tentatively took a sip.

He frowned.

Hmm, it still tastes like the "world's" signature pre-made tea.

"What's wrong with you all? You all look so listless."

"Sister, are you done with your work?" Ling Xiaoshu raised her eyes listlessly, even the leaves on her head drooped down.

Liu Sheng nodded: "Yes, now it's up to Senior Sister Nangong and the others from Snow Mountain."

Ling Xiaoshu then said, "We were just reviewing this high-dimensional analysis instance with Sister Qiao Yu... and then we finally figured it out."

Wang Qingguang was resting her head on Ling Xiaoshu's shoulder.

It seems like they've gotten used to it.

Now, hearing it makes me so sad that I bury my face in it.

Ling Xiaoshu gently patted her, saying with a mixture of helplessness and sorrow:
"Sister, you knew all along, didn't you? I can hear what's in your heart."

Liu Sheng's face stiffened.

Qiao Yu was still scratching her short hair, looking completely bewildered. "I still don't understand what you're talking about..."

"I thought... we could really stop Grandma Lu from being heartbroken." Ling Xiaoshu lowered her head, her voice somber.

Liu Sheng patted her head, tugged at the leaves on her hair, and comforted her:

"At least in the timeline you experienced, she wasn't sad, and she even became this... Black Hole Man."

“Yes…” Wang Qingguang nodded silently, a tear glistening in her eyes, “Grandma Lu became incredibly brave later on, striking fear into everyone… but…”

"You child, are you saying you're terrified of anything? Is that a compliment?"

An old voice rang out, tinged with amusement.

The container containing the strange object trembled slightly, and "Black Hole Hero" Lu Shaoping slowly stepped out.

Her appearance remained the same, with three holes hanging down her face, but her temperament was no longer violent, but calm and gentle, even faintly revealing the black holes in her mouth.

This time it must be Lu Shaoping from Old Zhang's memory.

The hand, riddled with holes, caressed the unseen Wang Qingguang, gently and kindly embracing her.

It's like hugging a wisp of air.

“Grandma Lu…” Wang Qingguang said in a low voice, her voice choked with emotion.

Lu Shaoping is now lucid and her emotions are very stable.

She already knew everything, and bowed deeply to everyone.

"Thank you... for giving this old woman such a wonderful memory."

Qiao Yu scratched her head, still looking confused: "So... why did you say we failed?"

“Because, as you just mentioned, the reason you were able to access the database is because you used the name ‘Liu Sheng’…” Ling Xiaoshu began.

“Yes, I find it strange too.” Qiao Yu frowned. “This is supposed to be something from the future, so why does ‘deliveryman Liu Sheng’ actually exist?”

Liu Sheng silently shook his head.

Ling Xiaoshu lowered her eyes, and Wang Qingguang looked stunned.

Lu Shaoping, however, sighed.

"Because... all of this is just a memory of mine..."

"Huh?" Qiao Yu was full of questions.

"The main plot is to explore the sadness of Grandma Lu Shaoping. According to the progress, there should be five times she is sad. The fact that we can calculate this number means that everything was predetermined from the beginning," Liu Sheng explained slowly.

Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment.

Ling Xiaoshu swung back and forth, hugging his own legs, his expression utterly gloomy, and even the giant tree beside him seemed to shed patches of dark yellow.

"That's why our completion rate is 40%..."

Qiao Yu suddenly realized: "Because we've already experienced the real first time."

"That's right..."

Lu Shaoping wore a gloomy expression.

Three dark, gaping holes drooped down.

"The last time—or what you call the first time—was when I thought the old man was gone. That utter despair completely overwhelmed me. I... just like you said, I became a monster."

Liu Sheng looked at Qiao Yu: "Back then, you and I were both in that time and space. I was already a courier for Shunfeng Express, which is why I was able to log into the system and even submit my promotion application."

Qiao Yu's doubts were finally cleared up.

Now it was Ling Xiaoshu's turn to feel confused.

"Grandma Lu, why... even though Grandpa Zhang is about to kill you... are you still saddened by his disappearance?"

She clearly cannot yet comprehend the complex emotional logic of humans.

"I don't blame him for wanting to kill me."

Lu Shaoping's dark lips curled into a small corner.

"Because, having fallen to this state, I also wish I could kill myself, but at that time, I was rarely sober, so I couldn't do it."

"I originally thought he could do it..."

"But in the end, he couldn't bear it..."

A charred liquid welled up in her eyes, then turned into specks and dissipated into the air.

"Alright, Grandma Lu, don't think about these sad things anymore. Through cultivation, you have gradually recovered from your bizarre state. Now that you're here, start a new life with Qingguang."

Liu Sheng said this.

"Can we... really do this?"

The two black hole eye sockets suddenly opened, and a slight suction force emerged, causing Wang Qingguang, whom he was holding, to sit up involuntarily.

"of course."

Liu Sheng smiled and nodded.

"But... even though I'm clear-headed now, I'm afraid that one day I might... harm someone again." Lu Shaoping still had concerns.

"Don't worry," Liu Sheng said earnestly. "There are many people in your situation, and there will be special measures to take care of you and prevent anything bad from happening."

Immediately, Liu Sheng raised his hand, and two tentacles extended, binding the two of them and gently sending them down to the lower realm.

As soon as Lu Shaoping and Wang Qingguang entered the Great Wall, Soma was summoned to come and guide them. With a gentle smile, she arranged accommodations for them and took them on a tour of the Great Wall.

The grandfather and grandson looked flattered and surprised.

There was also some unease.

But at the same time, seeing countless strange figures like them in various shapes throughout the city, they couldn't help but gradually relax.

Get ready to embrace a new life.

……

Over here, Qiao Yu was still deep in thought, slowly counting on her fingers:

"The third to last time I was heartbroken... was when Grandma devoured us, right?"

“That’s right.” Liu Sheng nodded slightly.

"What about the next time?"

This time, Ling Xiaoshu spoke in a low voice: "I know... it's the time when Mom died in the birthing factory."

She couldn't help but think of Zhang Lu.

That vibrant, energetic woman.

A rare moment of time spent together between mother and daughter.

This applies to both her and Wang Qingguang, as well as Lu Shaoping.

However, once they arrived here, neither Lu Shaoping nor Wang Qingguang mentioned it again. It wasn't that they forgot, but rather that they deliberately avoided mentioning it.

Because if everything is Lu Shaoping's memory.

Then Zhang Lu was already dead.

“But I don’t know the first time.” Ling Xiaoshu shook his head.

“I know,” Qiao Yu said.

Ling Xiaoshu looked at Qiao Yu curiously.

Qiao Yu looked at Liu Sheng and said, "It should be related to the logs you saw in the database, Sheng Sheng."

Liu Sheng's expression hardened, and he nodded.

The earliest system log she saw in the database flashed through her mind—

That was the starting point for the establishment of the entire Swiftwind 1444 colony space station, and the origin of all the plans.

[Log Index] SYSTEM-START-1444#001
【记录时间】7668/07/15T00:00:01.003Z
[Access Institution] Shunfeng Express Holding Group (Unified Credit Code: YS1110000SPCYG27X)

[Execution Command] INIT_ABYSS-PARASITE (Status: Activated)
[Target]: Federal Empire Colony Planet 1444 (Codename SP-CYG-2748-DSR)

[Executive Personnel] Zhang Jianbin (ID: 114514 / Position: Interstellar Courier)

[Carrier Deployment] Target Delivery Protocol Activated (Influence Level: SS)
From these vaguely worded diaries, Liu Sheng understood one thing—

At that time, it was Zhang Jianbin who transported a mysterious object with an influence level of S to colony planet 1444.

This marked the beginning of the parasitic plan of the colorful race.

“…Old Zhang must have realized it, so he painfully chose to forget…” Liu Sheng said slowly, “But Lu Shaoping did not forget.”

"In fact, Lu Shaoping was the first person to be infected."

"She kept this world-destroying secret hidden, suffering and grieving alone."

For a moment, the two people and the tree remained silent.

Only the sound of the giant tree swaying in the wind could be heard.
