Chapter 66 Deceiving All of Humanity with a Live Broadcast from Above: The Audience is the Actor +...

"What good would it do you go?" Seeing her leader's dismayed expression, Xie Qing said patiently, "Lifespan is only a few decades, and you can't have a soul-transfer surgery. Ever since you saw your performance in the live stream, no civilization in interstellar space wants to contact you. Did you go to outer space just to become invisible people that no one pays attention to?"

Despite speaking in a calm tone devoid of any malice, every word pierced the heart.

"Furthermore, your situation does not meet the entry standards, so we will not take you away."

How can someone carrying a virus come into contact with a healthy person? That would be incredibly irresponsible.

Because of this, the leader finally remembered Xie Qing's earlier statement: "If it weren't for these people, your Earth would have been sealed off and become a cosmic prison."

This is exactly the same dream that Chu Feng and the others mentioned at the beginning.

For a moment, the leader, blinded by jealousy, even wanted to confront Chu Feng and the others in front of Xie Qing, asking if they had foreseen this all along, and why they had pretended to be kind in front of the cameras in order to secure a trip to outer space.

Otherwise, how could that be possible?

How could anyone truly be willing to uphold the rights of victims in such a situation, and to become an enemy of the entire world for complete strangers?

They must have known Xie Qing and the others' judgment criteria to deliberately put on an act.

"How did you determine that they were spiritually sound and qualified to go?" The leader, barely suppressing his anger, asked the question that everyone in the world wanted to ask.

Xie Qing answered without the slightest hesitation: "Didn't they foresee the future?"

The leader's pupils constricted. He wondered how these aliens knew about these things. Was it also because of the live broadcast?

But the live broadcast from the sky clearly didn't show it—

Xie Qing: "They bear the marks of time."

What time? This is inexplicable; it's common knowledge that aliens exist. The leader, suppressing his temper, asked, "Traces of time?"

"'Time' is a special race that can travel through time and space," Xie Qing explained with a smile. "Their race is small in number and rarely appears, but they are naturally attracted to beautiful souls. If they sense that these souls are about to perish, it is only natural for them to step forward and give a warning."

There have been many such cases in interstellar history, which have averted numerous disasters.

The only puzzling thing is that Earth must have had some incredible stroke of luck to have so many people discovered by "Time" all at once, it's such a coincidence that it seems like it was all orchestrated...

Perhaps only beings of Nuwa's caliber could accomplish such a thing?

That's incredible.

Xie Qing sighed repeatedly, while the leader's face twitched, his surging jealousy almost uncontrollably showing on his expression. "Is that so..."

Therefore, because he assessed the situation and acted in the best interests of the world, his soul was corrupted, and he deserved to be cast on Earth and lose the right to immortality.

But he simply made a more rational choice!

What's wrong with sacrificing a minority for the sake of the majority?

"Do you think you're a god who can control everything?" Noticing the other person's emotions, Xie Qing asked in confusion, "Do you get to decide whether others live or die?"

That's incredibly arrogant and shows a complete disregard for other people's lives.

The leader's lips were pursed tightly.

"It's nothing but self-interest," Xie Qing, a vanguard who had seen too many similar things in her life, said casually, "You're doing it to treat your cancer, aren't you?"

Ask the leader if he would be willing to sacrifice his own life to ensure the safety of the Si family of three. He would surely give another reason in response.

For example, their respective statuses, the difference in importance between them, or the contributions they can make... He always has a reason to live that he is more worthy of living than others.

But human life should not be measured in this way, especially when the other party has not made any mistakes.

Xie Qing stopped talking to the person in front of her and turned to look at Si Qi and his group, who had just arrived by car in the distance.

The smile in his eyes instantly became genuine.

"Finally, I've met you," Xie Qing said, extending her hand to Si Qi in a traditional Earthly greeting. "I've never met anyone like you who could see through the Dark Star conspiracy so quickly and contact us in time."

Si Qi's reaction was remarkably quick; he deliberately waited until the next day to start his live stream, perhaps in order to wait for the authorities to find him and provide him with a safe place to stream.

Otherwise, the speed could be even faster.

She was a little curious: "You and your family all bear the marks of time. Is it because you saw something in the premonition?"

Si Qi feigned a blank expression, and Chu Feng's eyes flickered slightly as he offered an explanation for Si Qi: "He doesn't have any specific memories."

Xie Qing was puzzled.

Chu Feng: "In the dream we foresaw, their family's fate was very bad."

Xie Qing recalled the role played by the Si family in this incident and suddenly understood.

Their future is certainly extremely bleak. So bleak that even just having a precognitive dream would bring them a terrible experience that would pollute their souls.

Therefore, Si Qi, who has almost no memory of the future, can only convey information through this primitive method (painting).

This further illustrates that the true nature of the Earthlings is... even worse than what was shown in the live stream.

Xie Qing's eyes were deep, but she kindly didn't probe further.

"Excuse me..." Chu Feng's superior stepped forward and asked, "Besides us, who else is capable of going to interstellar space?"

She spoke sincerely: "Actually, there are many people like us who firmly stand on the Si family's side and oppose surrendering to the Dark Star forces. Mr. Si's friends have been actively helping to clarify the situation, and those who went to Mr. Si's hometown to investigate the truth also insist that the Si family has been wronged. In addition, some international organizations have been actively helping to mediate conflicts everywhere since the incident..."

Just like the saying goes, the world is broken and dilapidated, but there are always people trying to fix it.

The Earthlings weren't as bad as they appeared in the live stream; it was just that the bait was too tempting, and the internet amplified people's hostility.

Xie Qing smiled: "Of course, I know it's definitely not just you guys."

Regardless of the original future, after discovering that the Earthlings were not all evil like the Dark Stars, the Interstellar Alliance could not simply eliminate Earth.

Her words, "It certainly won't just be you," rekindled hope in countless Earthlings who were on the verge of despair, their eyes fixed intently on the sky.

Xie Qing: "Just as you just said, those who insist on rational judgment, are not swayed by public opinion, and have investigated the truth on the ground are likely to meet the standards."

A senior executive nearby became anxious: "Too few people are capable of doing this; not everyone has the opportunity to conduct on-site investigations..."

People all over the world echoed, "Yes! We're abroad, how could we possibly cross oceans for something like this?"

"Judging right and wrong based on information from the internet is the norm in our time," a senior official said. "Our technology is not yet advanced enough to justify demanding that of everyone."

Xie Qing nodded: "Yes, so didn't your Ye Kingdom provide a lot of information that Mu Zi is lying and the Si family is innocent? This is enough to help everyone make a judgment."

Because Ye Guo had released investigation results that were completely contrary to Mu Zi's, many people used this as leverage to attack Ye Guo, believing that Ye Guo "stood" on the side of the Si family.

This shows that netizens are not lacking in information; they simply chose the outcome they were more willing to believe.

"Our only request is 'not to collude with Dark Star,' and not to harbor 'malice' towards our compatriots and want them dead because of public opinion or interests. This is not difficult."

“This is difficult,” the senior executive said anxiously. These days, netizens read online news very casually, without the rigorous research required for an experiment. Everyone thinks about issues from their own perspective, which made the senior executive argue, “Besides, they’re just talking!”

“It’s not just talk. If the opportunity is presented to them and they don’t have to bear the consequences, they will do it,” Xie Qing shook her head. “When they say it, they have an ulterior motive. You know perfectly well what that motive is.”

If Ye Guo had softened his stance even slightly and hadn't been so protective of the Si family, the Si family would have been skinned alive and hanged long ago.

This is how the Si family of three met their end in the "dream".

This high-ranking official, who had heard Chu Feng and others mention precognitive dreams, was speechless.

The senior executive, looking conflicted, said, "We have to give everyone a chance."

"Haven't opportunities always been in front of you?" Xie Qing said, puzzled. "Is it really that hard to refuse to go along with the corrupt practices and not expect your compatriots to die? You could do it by just closing your eyes and taking a few naps."

Recalling the "spectacular" scene in the live broadcast room, the higher-ups were speechless.

That is indeed quite difficult.

“That’s why I said that you Earthlings generally don’t meet the standards,” Xie Qing said subtly.

The senior executive took a deep breath and suddenly felt powerless.

The opportunity to ascend to heaven was right in front of them, but at the very last moment, they were seduced by the devil and broke their moral bottom line.

No wonder everyone on Dark Star hates them; this damned race has indeed caused a lot of harm.

"Aren't you afraid that knowing we have no hope of immortality will generate more negative emotions towards Dark Star?" the higher-ups couldn't help but ask.

“What can we do? We can’t just kill you for this, that would be too inhumane,” Xie Qing said. “Even if you become Dark Star’s breeding grounds, we must respect your right to live. After all, you are just existing; it is Dark Star that is truly doing evil.”

"..." The higher-ups were completely speechless.

He believed the other person's words were sincere, knowing that lying could corrupt the soul.

But it was precisely because he spoke from the heart that he became increasingly aware of the irreversibility of the situation.

People's thoughts and beliefs cannot be changed at will, and their souls cannot be made pure overnight.

Unless correct values ​​are instilled from childhood, and people genuinely respect and cherish the existence of others, just as modern people have the concept of equality for all ingrained in their bones and cannot accept the ancient practice of slave burial.

The Earthlings (Interstellar People) before us have been raised with this idea of ​​"equality for all" since childhood. They cannot accept the act of "sacrificing the few to help the many" and naturally will not participate in cyberbullying.

They certainly wouldn't find this request difficult.

Realizing this, the higher-ups fell silent. The leader who had cancer and had tried to lead Si Qi's family to their arrest, after realizing there was no hope ahead, loudly questioned Xie Qing about whether he could go to interstellar space. She answered crisply, "No," and was so shocked that she fainted.

The scene was chaotic. Under the sky, the Earthlings, realizing that these aliens were completely illogical, began to roar angrily at the sky, even firing shots at it, saying they would kill the aliens and steal their spaceship.

Xie Qing didn't care about these people's clamor at all. Just like when the spaceship landed, the vanguard only took away Si Qi's family. This time, they also only took away the group of people who had used their own flesh and blood to block Si's family time and time again during the live broadcast.

The number was not large, but there were still several hundred, including those who sacrificed their lives in the process.

The high-ranking officials of various countries on Earth knew that Xie Qing and her group were not leaving and never coming back, so they did not take any extreme actions to stop them—mainly because they couldn't stop them anyway.

However, at the strong request of the leaders, Chu Feng and others kept the entire interstellar voyage live – the live streaming technology was kindly provided by Xie Qing – so that the Earthlings could learn about interstellar travel earlier.

Patriots like Chu Feng naturally accepted the mission without any objection.

Unlike the usual hostile atmosphere in the live stream, this time the live stream was filled with voices of longing and envy.

The camera focused on the spaceship's furnishings, structure, and the aliens.

Everyone was initially marveling at the wonder of these new things, finding it all so incredible. But then they discovered that even in a different livestream room, the main character was still Si Qi.

Why are all those aliens circling around Si Qi?

The reason is simple.

Because Si Qi was originally the main character in the Dark Star livestream, he was already familiar to many aliens. His bravery and wit in the livestream, as well as his natural "beautiful, strong, and tragic" attributes, earned him the favor of various interstellar civilizations from the very beginning.

The alien had been staring at Si Qi in the live stream for over ten days. Now that he had finally seen the real person he liked across the screen, it was only natural for him to take the initiative to make contact.

The Earthlings quickly witnessed how Si Qi, who was once universally hated on Earth, was warmly received by people from all interstellar regions, receiving kindness that countless people envied. They also saw how all sorts of spatial rings, smart products, and millennium-old spiritual fruits were piled up like small mountains and delivered to Si Qi's arms.

Under the spotlight, Si Qi showed none of the nervousness or shyness often seen in young people. Just like when he was live-streaming his drawing, he remained calm and composed in the face of everything. He quickly adapted to interstellar life and even became friends with the interstellar people who seemed strange and unpredictable to Earthlings.

Many viewers, as they watched, had to admit that Si Qi truly possessed a lovable charm. Confident, brave, and intelligent, he was an exceptionally outstanding person.

And this person, who was only a teenager and did nothing wrong, was almost labeled as "deserving to die" and almost lost his life to his fellow countrymen.

For the first time, a self-reflective apology was heard in the live stream.

As for the others who had almost made a habit of cursing Si Qi, because of the revelation of the truth and because the aliens were still watching, even though they knew there was no hope of leaving Earth, they dared not openly provoke the aliens and finally chose to shut up.

Clearly, people who act in accordance with their own interests will always do what is most appropriate at the moment due to changes in those interests.

Si Qi ignored what these people were thinking. Since arriving in this world, he hadn't read a single comment. He only helped the truly innocent Earthlings, asking the interstellar civilization, "What do we need to do after arriving at the Alliance?"

Xie Qing treated Si Qi very well, carefully explaining to him: "You will first register with the Alliance and become one of us. Afterwards, the Alliance will provide you with basic living supplies, as well as a monthly Alliance Coin subsidy, so you can buy the items you like."

"You are free to move around as you please, and you can also receive basic education from the Alliance."

"Education is a fifty-year system, covering most subjects, and you can choose your own courses." Considering the age of most people present, Xie Qing added, "Don't worry about lifespan. Although longevity potions are not popular, it is still easy to produce a batch for you."

Si Qi nodded: "Then, can we bring this 'basic' knowledge back to Earth?"

It's easy to guess that the so-called "basic" education of the Interstellar Alliance consists of some exaggeratedly advanced knowledge.

Xie Qing understood Si Qi's meaning and realized that the first thing this boy, who had almost been persecuted by his compatriots, did after entering interstellar space was still to consider his compatriots. Her eyes were gentle and her tone was exceptionally kind: "Of course, if you want to bring this knowledge back to Earth, that's perfectly fine. There are no restrictions."

Upon hearing this, the Earthlings in the live stream were first stunned, then cheers, praises, and belated apologies filled the entire screen in an instant.

"There's one more thing I forgot to mention." Looking at Chu Feng and the others, Xie Qing said, "Given the original situation of the live broadcast room, the Silver Creek system where Earth is located should have been sealed off to prevent Earthlings from entering space and polluting more civilizations."

"But because of your existence, it proves that Earthlings also meet the standards for joining the Alliance, and Earth has been able to reverse this outcome." Xie Qing said earnestly, "This is an opportunity that you have earned for Earth through your actions."

She was well aware of the infamy that Chu Feng and his ilk had suffered before, and she deliberately recounted it earnestly in front of the live broadcast: "Earth should be proud of you."

Chu Feng and the other soldiers instinctively straightened their backs and gave a subtle smile under the camera's lens.

Si Qi understood Xie Qing's underlying meaning and cooperated by saying, "In other words, because of Chu Feng and the others' actions, Earth has obtained the qualification to enter interstellar space. In the future, the new generation born on Earth will still have the right to freely enter interstellar space."

“That’s right,” Xie Qing said with a smile, amidst the surprised and delighted gazes of countless Earth spectators. “Your descendants, as long as they meet the criteria, are fully capable of entering interstellar space.”

Upon hearing this, the person who had been filled with various emotions, who was so jealous of Chu Feng and the others that he wanted to drag the good people around him down with him, suddenly calmed down from his extreme negative emotions.

This is not only because the existence of "stubborn" people like Chu Feng, and the "idiotic" behaviors they once committed that were so hateful they were nauseating, reversed the future of Earth and gave them a glimmer of hope.

Furthermore, after Si Qi and the others leave, they can bring back interstellar technology, indirectly benefiting them. Even if those benefits, like expecting Mu Zi's charity, depend on her mood and are pitifully small compared to what they could originally receive.

Even worse, they are destined not to enjoy better treatment such as immortality, and are destined to regret their actions for the rest of their lives—but at least they did not implicate their descendants.

Future Earthlings will have the opportunity to enter interstellar space.

Why give up and wallow in self-pity? Hurry up and shower them with compliments so Chu Feng and the others can work even harder to bring back more good stuff to their home planet!

In just one hour, the public opinion in the Sky Screen live broadcast room underwent a dramatic change.

Soon, the "long" day-long space voyage came to an end, and the group arrived at the Alliance Central Galaxy through the wormhole.

With a new partner added to the alliance, not only have various civilizations turned their attention here, but Nuwa, one of the permanent council members, has taken the initiative to receive them because Earthlings look most similar to the aliens.

During their exchange, Si Qi, being an "ordinary" child, did not participate in much of the discussion. But strangely, Nuwa's gaze lingered on Si Qi more than once.

Everyone thought this was Nuwa showing compassion for the young victims.

Only she herself knew that the moment she saw Si Qi, this being whose lifespan was almost as long as the history of the universe, she noticed that Si Qi was different from others.

Even though she could only see from his soul and his physical condition that he was an ordinary young man who had once been favored by the Time Clan.

She still relied on her intuition to be certain that this was an extremely special person.

No one knows what she discussed with Si Qi in private.

All people know is that, with the help of Earthlings, this group of Earthlings quickly displayed their cultural charm and, with their rich emotional art, secured a place in this brilliant interstellar era.

In the decades that followed, Chu Feng and his group, who were regarded as the hope of the entire planet Earth, traveled back and forth between the central star system of the universe and Earth several times, bringing countless cutting-edge technologies to the Earthlings and becoming a recognized hero of mankind, worshipped by billions of people.

Unlike the original timeline where he was universally reviled for helping the Si family, and subsequently suffered a mental breakdown and committed suicide, he found himself in a completely different situation.

Even the foul language that everyone endured during those ten days was recorded in textbooks by the Earthlings and written into later history, becoming evidence that great people remained untainted by the mud, endured humiliation and went against the tide in times of crisis, and ultimately carved out a path to survival for Earth.

Those "older generation" who are still living on Earth and have not been qualified to enter interstellar space, those who personally experienced the Sky Curtain Incident, are used as negative examples and are forever nailed to the pillar of shame—in fact, the textbooks they wrote were written by themselves.

Some of the admonitions that children should never follow were actually said to them by the children themselves.

Only they themselves know how humiliating and shameful it was.

And they are destined to only be able to watch Chu Feng and others, who are the same age as them but look as young as they did back then, and who have long since become leaders of Earth, through the live broadcast room, and spend every day of the rest of their lives regretting the mistakes they made.

Especially those privileged tycoons who participated in terrorist attacks, provided powerful assistance to the persecution of the Si family in the original timeline, and then continued to live a life of luxury on Earth, cursing the injustice of fate as if nothing had happened.

They not only lost their original advantages and status on Earth, but were also held accountable for the many evil deeds they had committed. Because of the defilement of their souls and the ideological education passed down from their families, it was even more difficult for them to change their mindset and enter the interstellar age than many "commoners".

They are destined to be among those left behind.

Even though the outcome is already irreversible, these older generation Earthlings, who will never be able to enter the universe, will still tirelessly try to approach the standards of the star system. This is not only to gain the opportunity to achieve immortality, but also to teach the next generation through their actions and create a positive environment of truth, goodness, and beauty for the new generation.

Even when these children grow up, they will, through education, clearly realize how shameless, how vicious, how hated by the people of the interstellar world, and how much "trash" they are not accepted by the world.

They will also bear an indelible stain on their lives, admitting to their children how wrong their actions were, and trying to "atone" through their actions.

They even had to thank Si Qi and Chu Feng for helping Earth escape its prison and avoid being completely dragged down by their past actions.

Time passed. Just as this group of people were generally over eighty years old, witnessing the new generation receiving basic interstellar education from a young age and easily traveling to other star systems in spaceships, while they were still trapped on Earth waiting to die.

A news story spread across the universe overnight with overwhelming force, almost like a viral sensation, and caught the attention of people across the galaxy.

Earthling Si Qi grabbed Dark Starman Mu Zi, who had almost killed him, and broadcast live how he brutally destroyed this energy being, who should have been immortal, until it vanished into nothingness.

This is the first case in interstellar history where dark star life has been truly killed.

The significance behind it is enough to make the entire universe cheer.

Overnight, the life forms of the Dark Star went into flight mode, no longer daring to conduct their previous "humanity live streams" so openly. They all retreated to the corners of the universe, fearing discovery by Si Qi. Si Qi, on the other hand, became an idol worshipped throughout the entire universe overnight, his name appearing before the eyes of various civilizations once again after many years.

Nuwa then nominated Si Qi to become the sixth permanent council member of the alliance, responsible for dealing with Dark Star, the greatest evil force in the universe. This position was extremely important and should have been repeatedly considered by countless civilizations and carefully weighed by other council members, but the final result was unexpectedly a unanimous vote.

It was at this time that everyone from different civilizations, who had a close relationship with Si Qi for various reasons, suddenly realized that in just a few decades, this once naive boy had unknowingly become the honorary president of many associations in the alliance, an important cultural exchange partner in various fields, and had a close relationship with each of the five permanent council members.

Even the established civilizations within the alliance were astonished by this, and the Earthlings, who were new to interstellar travel and still in the exploration phase, were naturally even more bewildered.

You know, that's a permanent member of the Security Council!

In the tens of thousands of years since the alliance was established, only five people in total have been qualified.

How did Si Qi, who is not even a hundred years old, manage to do that?!

Unable to reach Si Qi, who was constantly wandering around the universe, the Earthlings, filled with questions, sought out Chu Feng, who had become the greatest leader of Earth.

Chu Feng and Si Qi have maintained a close relationship ever since the Sky Curtain incident. After entering the universe to receive basic education, Si Qi, who was from the same hometown and was very good at it, enthusiastically helped Chu Feng, who was clueless about it.

As a result, the two had more and more opportunities to interact, and Chu Feng's feelings for Si Qi also changed imperceptibly.

The scene when they confirmed their relationship was very dramatic—because Si Qi was so popular on the alien planet that an alien prince fell in love with him at first sight and waited outside Si Qi's dormitory with flowers to confess his love.

Chu Feng, who had just returned to Earth, suddenly learned of this. Because the two were too far apart, he couldn't rush back. Chu Feng was also afraid that he would miss the opportunity and lose Si Qi completely. So, disregarding that he was listening to a live online class at the time, he grabbed the microphone and loudly confessed to Si Qi, who was also listening to the class on the other side of the screen. He said many things in a panic that he was too ashamed to recall. He said "I love you" more than three times with great sincerity.

This content, spanning countless alien star systems from Earth, was witnessed by all the students who were attending the live broadcast at the time, and they "maliciously" recorded it.

After being surprised by the sudden confession, Si Qi nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Applause and cheers filled the live stream. More and more viewers flocked in to join the fun, making this surprise confession a minor trending topic on the StarNet.

The two dated for only a few months before returning to Earth and getting married in a whirlwind romance. The wedding photos are still posted on Earth's internet to this day. Incidentally, the alien prince also attended the wedding, tearfully presenting his bouquet in a different way.

Therefore, if Earthlings want to know anything about Si Qi, they should definitely ask Chu Feng.

Chu Feng answered crisply, "Dark Star set a trap for us back then, almost causing Xiao Qi's death. He has always remembered this, and now it's just revenge."

It sounds simple, but everyone knows how difficult it is to accomplish this.

Today, the members of Earth's official institutions are mostly new-generation Earthlings. They are very clear about what happened back then and understand the power gap between the two sides.

Having grown up surrounded by the legends of Si Qi and others, they felt nothing but admiration for him and had none of the shame that their elders felt. Their eyes sparkled as they asked, "We've heard that the major civilizations in the Alliance have been searching for a way to exterminate the life forms on the Dark Star, but have never succeeded. How did Mr. Si manage to do it?"

Chu Feng answered frankly, "I don't quite understand the technology he's been working on, but Nuwa and the others do. It's said that it can be used multiple times."

"Hiss—doesn't that mean Dark Star will no longer be at the top of our food chain? We have a means of checks and balances!" The officials' expressions immediately became even more excited: "This is an epoch-making turning point that could change the cosmic landscape!"

"Our planet will even be recorded in history and remembered forever by all civilizations because of this!"

"That's why Mr. Si was elected as a permanent member of the council, which has indeed changed the future of the entire interstellar space!"

"The guillotine hanging over the heads of all new civilizations can finally disappear."

"As a fellow human being from Earth, I am so proud to have Mr. Si as my kin!"

As everyone grew more and more excited, Chu Feng, who had grown accustomed to seeing such scenes in different galaxies over the years, quietly withdrew from the crowd and made a video call to Si Qi.

The screen popped up, revealing a young man whose features hadn't changed much since his youth. Upon seeing Chu Feng, he smiled brightly and said, "I was just about to call you! I missed you so much after a long day out~ Are you hungry? What are we eating tonight? Out or at home~"

Chu Feng looked at the new board member badge pinned to Si Qi's chest, a hint of pride creeping onto his face: "Let's eat at home. I'll prepare a big meal, including your favorite pudding!"

"Wow~" Si Qi exclaimed eagerly, "I'm going home right away."

Dealing with Dark Star was important, but in Si Qi's eyes, it was just a routine matter proceeding steadily according to plan.

"Taking revenge" on the Earth's humans, killing the culprit Mu Zi, becoming a member of the Alliance Council, and cracking down on the Dark Star forces... It sounds like a lot, but it only filled the leisure time that Si Qi spent on his honeymoon with Chu Feng in this world.

All he wants now is to enjoy a lovely candlelight dinner with his loved one. Then, he wants to leave their footprints, little by little, on every planet in the universe!

...

...

Having spent over three thousand years with Chu Feng in this world, visiting countless planets and seeing all over China, the two ultimately decided to "fake death."

The two bodies were placed into Si Qi's consciousness space for storage, and with Xiu Xiu's help, Si Qi went to the next world.

As the darkness receded, when Si Qi opened his eyes again, he saw a rat dart past his feet.

The rat was very bold and not afraid of people at all. It openly lay on the broken porcelain bowl and stole food.

Si Qi glanced at it twice, then looked away and observed his surroundings.

This was probably a dungeon, with a small skylight in the wall letting in only a tiny bit of light. By the dim light, Si Qi could see the scene inside the cell: filthy, cold, and cramped.

He was sitting on damp, moldy straw, his body throbbing with pain. Smelling the stench around him and hearing the faint sobs outside the cell, Si Qi felt the resentment and bitterness left in the original owner's chest, as if everything around him was oppressively bitter.

He closed his eyes again, receiving the world timeline of this world.

In the original timeline, the original owner was a talented scholar from a poor family. He studied diligently for ten years and finally passed the imperial examination, entering the court as the top scholar.

Because of his exceptional talent, he was promoted to prime minister by the emperor who valued merit over the next few decades. During this time, he worked diligently for the country and its people, eventually becoming a famous wise minister in the history of the Great Qi Dynasty, and he is still praised by many people in later generations.

Of course, the original owner's rise to power was not as smooth as later generations imagined. The fact that a commoner scholar could rise to a high position greatly displeased many nobles in the court.

The more people from humble backgrounds or upright officials like the original owner are valued, the more powerful and noble families who obtained their titles through ancestral influence will be marginalized.

A nobleman's son, known for his arrogance and domineering nature, disliked the original owner of the body. After the original owner entered the court, he targeted her at every turn, using various methods of framing and slander, which greatly troubled the original owner, whose power base was still shallow at the time.

Fortunately, the methods this person used were not sophisticated, and the original owner managed to evade them each time without serious harm. The original owner even turned the tables on the noble son, causing him to suffer the consequences and be publicly humiliated several times, which led to his being disliked by the emperor.

Instead of learning his lesson after being wronged, the noble sons of the noble family thought the original owner was ungrateful and harbored even more resentment towards him. Finally, after sending someone to assassinate the original owner, who had become the prime minister, their evil deeds were exposed. The emperor, who could no longer tolerate them, ordered their execution. Before dying, they still cursed the original owner loudly on the execution ground, saying that they would haunt him even as ghosts.

But by sheer coincidence, a spatial fluctuation caused the souls of the prisoner and the nobleman from twenty years ago to momentarily overlap. This resulted in the nobleman from twenty years ago unexpectedly learning about the future.

At that time, the original owner had just become the top scholar in the imperial examination and was just a nobody in the court. But he was a noble young master from a wealthy family, with his uncles and elders all holding high positions. They could easily crush the original owner and make him wish he were dead.

Drawing on his memories of repeated failed attempts to frame and harm the original owner, the noble scion devised a meticulous and elaborate conspiracy for him.

When the original chief examiner returned home in glory after becoming the top scholar, he brought his family to the capital to take up his post, ready to make a name for himself and realize his ambitions. However, he stepped into a trap that his sons had carefully prepared for him.

The various pieces of evidence caught the original owner off guard. Faced with a group of judges sent by his own sons, the original owner was speechless and had nowhere to seek justice, thus becoming a prisoner.

The original owner's family was also implicated because of him. They had suffered all their lives and finally managed to raise a top scholar, but they never got to enjoy a single good day with him and were now being dragged down to this state.

The original owner was imprisoned, filled with resentment, and couldn't understand why he had suffered such a fate. He was grieving that his family had been implicated and met with a bad end because of him, and blamed himself for all the mistakes.

The whole family was eventually sentenced to exile.

A meritorious official who should have dedicated his life to serving the country and its people died young, just as his potential was beginning to emerge. His parents died of exhaustion before his eyes during their exile, and his younger siblings suffered humiliation at the hands of prison guards because of him. He suffered a mental breakdown and roared at the injustice of heaven, only to die the next second at the hands of assassins sent by his own sons. His fine head was brutally severed and sent back to the capital to be desecrated by his sons.

Having killed his future enemy, the young master became increasingly reckless. Knowing the memories of the next twenty years, he understood that the emperor disliked noble families like his own and would continue to promote those from humble backgrounds while suppressing the powerful. Therefore, he disguised himself as a loyal and capable minister, using the original owner's poetry from his previous life to quickly gain fame. He had his father deliver many of the original owner's essays and policy proposals to the emperor, and unsurprisingly, he received the emperor's praise, instantly becoming a rare talent among the noble sons and earning the emperor's favor.

On the surface, he appeared to be a loyal and capable minister, but in reality, he constantly formed cliques and protected other nobles and officials, secretly poisoning the emperor and the crown prince. Over several years, he successively murdered two wise rulers, and finally supported the three-year-old prince to ascend the throne as regent, completely seizing control of the country.

He was incompetent and greedy, ravaging the people and wreaking havoc on the court, committing countless atrocities and quickly plunging the entire government into chaos. A neighboring state, long coveting Qi, knowing that Qi lacked any capable ministers, led its army to attack Qi, massacring countless Qi citizens. Ultimately, Qi was destroyed, and its people were enslaved, living a life worse than death. A dynasty that should have flourished for centuries veered from one extreme to another, and the resulting butterfly effect had far-reaching consequences…

It can be said that the son of a noble family single-handedly destroyed a prosperous dynasty, and deprived many future great men who should have been born in a good social environment and had enough time to grow up and benefit the people of the world of their learning opportunities. They were lost in the dust of history in the chaos of the world.

The world consciousness detected the change in the world line and reported it to the Quick Transmigration Bureau. Si Qi, who received the mission, arrived here with the help of Xiu Xiu.

At this point in time, Si Qi had already transmigrated to the moment when the original owner had been thrown into the dungeon, awaiting his sentence and being sent to exile. The low sobbing was coming from his younger sister. The girl was fifteen years old and of marriageable age. The original owner had promised to find her a good marriage in the capital, but instead, she was imprisoned in the prime of her life and even had her face touched and verbally humiliated by the jailer. In her grief and anger, she couldn't control her emotions.

Si Qi could clearly sense the original owner's grief at this moment. Taking all the blame upon himself, he only wanted to prevent his family from suffering such pain again.

This made Si Qi sigh softly, pondering how to deal with the situation as soon as possible and fulfill the original owner's wish to reduce the suffering of his family.

Come to think of it, his experiences on Earth in his previous life could be put to good use.

I called Xiuxiu over in the consciousness space. The little guy was holding the controller with his two short paws and playing a game, making a lot of noise.

[Shushu, help me edit a video] Si Qi thought to himself: [I want to use it on the celestial screen.]

Finally, it was Pai Xiu Xiu's turn! Xiu Xiu immediately pressed the pause button, her eyes sparkling as she looked up eagerly: "Master, what video do you want?"

Si Qi: [Let me briefly explain how the original owner was wrongly accused.]

People in ancient times were quite superstitious and held great reverence for celestial phenomena and legends of immortals. It was perfectly natural for Si Qi to use his own (the chief god's) banner to seek justice for himself.

Moreover, modern people in the past could believe Mu Zi's lies after seeing the Sky Curtain. In this life, Si Qi uses the Sky Curtain to tell the truth. How could superstitious ancient people not believe him?

When imprisoned and without any connections, the most swift and decisive way to exonerate oneself and eliminate powerful enemies is through this method of overwhelming force.

Using any other method, no matter what, would at least delay things for several days or even months. This would be a considerable mental ordeal for the original owner's family.

As for why the deities would stand up for the original owner, wouldn't that make the original owner's existence seem too out of place...? We can easily fool them by playing some other content on the sky screen later, such as a gossip roundup of historical figures, or a list of the top spendthrift sons...

After listening, Xiu Xiu rubbed her hands together, patted her little chest confidently, and said, "No problem! I've got it covered!"

He excitedly changed into work clothes, put on a tie, and dressed up as an office worker. He sat at his computer desk in his cubicle and started typing away on the keyboard.

Si Qi: [...]

It's quite a ritualistic thing to do.

Si Qi, charmed by Xiu Xiu, silently raised his camera and took a few photos, storing them in his consciousness space. Xiu Xiu saw them but pretended not to, only puffing out her little chest even more.

Si Qi couldn't help but laugh, but the laughter caused a sharp pain in his chest, forcing him to return to reality. He lowered his eyes to observe the original owner's injuries, managed to put the dislocated arm back in place, and then used a wooden board and prison clothes to bind the fractured lower leg.

This body has suffered a lot of physical pain due to excessive worry, and he needs to recuperate properly.

【Master, Master, just explaining the injustices suffered by the original owner seems a bit too monotonous. Should we add something else?】 Xiu Xiu, who was working, raised her little dragon head: 【Just a little bit!】

Si Qi yawned, leaned against the wall, and closed his eyes to rest: [Yeah, just do your best.]

【Okay!】

So, an hour later.

As dawn broke, a ray of sunlight shone down from above into the dimly lit dungeon.

Si Qi, after waking up, stared at the extremely long video in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Xiu Xiu covered her face, feigning shyness: 【Hehe~】

Si Qi: [...]

Where's the promised short film that exonerates the original owner? This thing could be a TV series or documentary!

I wanted to complain, but looking at the amazing videos produced by Xiuxiu's amazing editing skills—she acts as Siqi's number one die-hard fan in different worlds, showering him with compliments and posting videos to attract fans, honing her supreme directing skills—it's hard to find any fault with Siqi except for the length.

Even the seemingly exaggerated, menu-reciting flattery wasn't fake or unfounded; it was all excerpted from Si Qi's own achievements in other ancient worlds, ensuring that every single one was genuine.

This left Si Qi speechless, unsure where to even begin to complain.

Especially since, through sheer accidental inadvertence, everything Xiu Xiu wrote was beneficial to this ancient world. As a result, Si Qi wanted Xiu Xiu to tone it down, but Xiu Xiu hit the nail on the head with the point that "releasing the video would definitely be very helpful to the people of this world," making it impossible for him to refuse.

"Sigh... whatever, let's leave it at that," Si Qi said helplessly.

Knowing full well that Xiu Xiu was being opportunistic, using work as a pretext to indulge her fangirling fantasies, Si Qi couldn't bring himself to say anything to her. He reluctantly agreed, half-laughing, half-crying: "Just post this video."

【Yay! ! !】Shoo-hoo was especially happy. The little dragon claw rubbed its hands together and brought the super long video to the world consciousness here, and the two sides negotiated.

So, not long after, a video was projected onto the sky above the territory of the Great Qi.

At this moment, the streets were bustling with people, and court officials arrived one after another at the main hall, kneeling and shouting "Long live the Emperor!" to the emperor on the dragon throne.

The clear sky was suddenly covered by a curtain, and everything visible to the naked eye turned pitch black, before slowly becoming bright again.

People screamed in fright at the sudden turn of events, some even believing it was the end of the world. Then, a clear sound rang out from the horizon, and the melodious and graceful sounds of traditional Chinese string and wind instruments (background music) drew the attention of the people below.

The soldiers stationed outside the main hall rushed in, exclaiming to the emperor on his high throne, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! A miracle has occurred in the sky!!"

The court was immediately filled with noise, and occasionally one could hear phrases like "the heavenly dog ​​is eating the sun."

The emperor rose and walked out of the palace, and his courtiers hurriedly followed.

The moment they stepped outside and saw the situation clearly, everyone was shocked to see the sky changing like a painting, and they couldn't help but gasp in horror, their minds blank with astonishment at the sight.

Then, a line of large characters slowly appeared in the sky, reading: "From being exiled after his family's property was confiscated to assisting the new emperor in unifying the country, why did the renowned prime minister Si Qi become everyone's white moonlight?"

The emperor stared at the text for two seconds, then suddenly remembered that he was familiar with the name Si Qi. Wasn't he the newly appointed top scholar, the one who had committed a grave error and should have had his entire family executed?

The word "exile" in the sky stirred something in the emperor's heart. Originally, Si Qi's crime should have been punishable by death, but the crown prince felt that the crime was too serious and pleaded for him. So, after the emperor's consideration, the death penalty was changed to exile while still guilty.

He had just drafted the decree last night and hadn't had time to announce it yet. Logically, no one, including the Crown Prince, should know about it.

With his mind preoccupied with secrets unknown to others, the emperor became increasingly attentive to the contents of the sky.

He didn't notice that among the noisy courtiers beside him, there was a newly promoted minister who had recently gained his great trust, whose expression was strange, a mixture of anger and fear, the change was particularly obvious.

As the sky slowly changed under everyone's gaze, the clear, youthful voice that had appeared once before rang out again, filled with barely concealed excitement, addressing the audience "in front of the screen": "Hello everyone! I'm Xiuxiu. Today we're going to talk about a figure that I'm sure you all know! He was a poor scholar born during the Kangwen era of the Qi Dynasty, a legendary talent who was brought down from his humble beginnings just as his life was beginning to rise; a legendary prime minister who endured countless hardships and devoted himself to the common people; a compassionate saint who, amidst the flames of war, tirelessly saved the people of a fallen nation, repaying evil with good; a great legend who was misunderstood by the emperor and his ministers, whose ambitions were only known to people centuries later!"

"..." The ministers listened blankly, not knowing what the celestial being in the sky was talking about. However, they did hear the words "during the reign of Emperor Kangwen of the Qi Dynasty," "war-torn lands," and "the people of a fallen nation." They looked at the emperor standing to the side in fear, sensing that something major was about to happen.

The emperor's expression was cold and solemn as he stared intently at the sky above. Fearing he might not remember everything, he summoned the civil officials beside him and ordered them to write down the words spoken by the gods, ensuring not a single word was missed. At the same time, his mind raced, wondering if this was a prophecy from heaven, foretelling a great crisis that the Qi Dynasty was about to face.

"As we all know, our famous prime minister suffered a setback right after his debut. He was framed by the regent Zhao Ren and committed a grave error after only a month in office, almost resulting in the execution of his entire family. Therefore, there is often a saying in the market: if the famous prime minister Si Qi had not been framed, would the Qi Dynasty have still been destroyed?"

A gasp of surprise rang out outside the main hall. The courtiers looked at Zhao Ren in disbelief and instinctively took two steps away from him, terrified by the words "Regent" and "destruction of the country."

Si Qi (black lines on his forehead): Isn't your description a bit too long?

Xiuxiu (proudly puffing out her chest): When it comes to showering others with compliments, we're the professionals!

#Short is not enough to express Xiuxiu's deep love (just kidding)#

——

The previous world was too short, so there wasn't much opportunity for romance. This world will have more couples being affectionate, hehehe. [shy]
