Chapter 1693: Chapter 665: Farewell to the Source Sun

Tai Hong curiously said, "But this time a true variable has emerged among humans, Ren Zhong, right? He has already mastered true free warp travel. If he wanted to escape, he could do so now."

The City Lord smiled slightly, "Yes. We have already left behind a spark."

Young Lady: "But that’s not enough. When Zhe Luo was able to bring humanity from the Milky Way to the Ancient Disk Galaxy, it proved that Zhe Luo also had terrifying super long-distance navigation capabilities. Just warp subspace flight at ten times the speed of light isn’t safe enough."

City Lord: "Of course, what I just mentioned is the baseline. Who knows what exactly Ren Zhong can achieve? We’ve only sown the seeds."

...

So far, Ren Zhong hasn’t been able to foresee the future described by the City Lord.

He can only analyze the general direction based on known information and make judgments before taking targeted actions.

This time is no different.

He already knows that the Mechanical Empire has welcomed the true Chosen One, but he doesn’t know who it is, where they are, or what they are doing.

Ren Zhong has two choices before him.

First, he could change course and head to the Nanxiang Star Cluster, and then go straight to the Empire Core through the Star Gate. Of course, he would need to change his ride, disguise his face, and use a concealed identity to try and find out who the Chosen One is through his own abilities.

Second, continue the original plan, and figure out why time in the frozen storage of the Source Star System has been frozen, and what exactly the possible Absolute Stationary Subspace is.

While Ren Zhong was still undecided, the situation naturally changed.

Jin Shi, who seemed somewhat idle in the Far Border Star Domain, was unexpectedly summoned by the Empire Core to go to the Central Star Domain for a new appointment.

Jin Shi shares many similarities with Ren Zhong, but the biggest difference is that she is a native of the Ancient Disk Star Domain, whose brain is also under the interference control of the icosahedron electron cloud.

She has many unchangeable obsessions, including loyalty to the Empire.

So, Jin Shi immediately awoke from her frozen slumber and appointed Bourbon Louis as the Acting Governor to hold down the Far Border Star Domain while she packed up and headed to the Empire Core.

Of course, she still carried with her the auxiliary computing device that Ren Zhong had given her, which contained Sun Ai’s auxiliary brain.

Sun Ai told Ren Zhong that she now possessed the computing power of two Planet Level Wise Men, and she had been absorbing the ultra-redundant algorithms held by these Wise Men all the while. If her auxiliary brain could be brought into the Empire Core by Jin Shi, then she would have every chance to quietly lurk and gradually infiltrate the Mechanical Empire’s intelligence network.

When the time was right, she would naturally be able to find out who the Chosen One really was.

Ren Zhong was finally at ease.

Finally, after more than seven hundred years, Ren Zhong’s Starry Sky Red Blade Armor returned to the planetary system that hung alone at the edge of the Ancient Disk Galaxy.

Ren Zhong stood at the top of the ship’s bridge, his gaze piercing through the force field barrier, staring into the distance.

In the distance, the orange-yellowish-blue star was still vividly visible.

But this planetary system had long changed beyond recognition.

Not only was the Source Star gone, but the other large planets had disappeared too, and the inner and outer asteroid belts in the system had become sparse and scant.

The scanning device of the Starry Sky Red Blade Armor showed that only piles and piles of debris and waste were left in this planetary system.

The remaining substances were discarded metals whose recycling times had long exceeded the Empire’s average recycling standard, the kind that the current unlimited resource recycling technology mastered by the Red Blade Army could still make use of.

This utterly dead planetary system was constantly telling Ren Zhong one thing.

Although the Source Star remnants never complained or spoke about their hardships after reuniting with him, he could directly feel the extent of their past struggles through the wreckage and ruins they left behind, by which they managed to burst out from a dead space beyond the Constant Star System.

Even though the Source Star remnants could receive help from Sun Ai’s auxiliary brain, with virtually no technical bottlenecks, the condition of extreme resource scarcity pushed them into a dire predicament, longing to split a single iron atom in two.

In this situation, the Source Star remnants still completed the development of the first generation of free warp travel technology.

Moreover, Ren Zhong also discovered something.

It was undoubtedly a good thing for the Source Star Ship to reunite with the main force, but after the reunion, that batch of Source Star remnants seemed to be forced into shedding their mystery, gradually becoming ordinary.

In recent years, the Red Blade Army still had a constant emergence of talents, but the people on the Source Star Ship rarely rose to prominence.

This phenomenon was also one of the reasons Ren Zhong was curious about what secrets might be hidden in this space.

Following his memory, Ren Zhong’s Starry Sky Red Blade Armor gradually approached the orbital path of the Source Star from back then.

He recalled the calendar and time when he awoke in his mind, then directed the Starry Sky Red Blade Armor toward a specific region on the orbit.

The space detector on the Red Blade Armor had long been operating at full power, sensitively detecting even the slightest anomaly in this small portion of the starry sky.

This space detector was quite special. Only this one existed in the entire Ancient Disk Star Domain.

This was the first lab-grade prototype manufactured by the Red Blade Science Academy after touching the complete Fourth Level God’s Particle technology, representing the highest precision across the entire Ancient Disk Galaxy.

About half a month passed with no alerts from the space detector.

Ren Zhong was not in a hurry, only shifting the position of the Starry Sky Red Blade Armor little by little, manually adjusting the angle of this massive machine to ensure the space detector slid strictly along the spatial coordinates of the dense forest in Starfire Town as he remembered.

Finally, this day, Ren Zhong still stood beside the detector, turning back to see the evening sunset.

His gaze fell on the Source Sun, then instinctively looked over his shoulder to search for the large silver moon and the slightly smaller moon at three o’clock height.

The sun’s angle and position were correct, but the moons were gone, which was reasonable.

Ren Zhong heard the beeping of an alarm in his ears.

He immediately redirected his gaze to the display console of the space detector, seeing this line of text.

"Anomaly detected. No space fluctuation, no information flow surges, no background electromagnetic radiation here. Suspected to be a massive interference source locking onto this small portion of space."

He found it.

Ren Zhong smiled slightly, baring his teeth.

The secret of time was finally about to surface.

Who could have thought, after being away for thousands of years, he would ultimately return here to find the greatest mystery in his heart?

Ren Zhong sat cross-legged, turning the space detector’s power to the maximum before instructing Sun Ai’s auxiliary brain to start assembling a lab on-site.

He himself retrieved a notebook, beginning to review and organize Yang Misi’s Theory and space-time theory on paper, and constructing a space model.
