The handsome man, whose temples were already streaked with gray, froze, then his eyes filled with tears. "Zhixing?"
"It's me. How many years have passed on Earth?" Xiao Zhixing asked, calming his surging emotions.
Hua Zhen wiped away his tears and said in a hoarse voice to the void, "Forty years have passed. How are you now?"
Xiao Zhixing spoke casually, "No wonder you've gotten so old. I'm fine. Let me tell you all, I've found the culprit and taken care of it. From now on, Earth will receive a positive feedback from its fortunes and things will only get better—"
Hua Zhen asked anxiously, "What about you? Will you come back?"
Xiao Zhixing smiled, "I probably can't go back. They still need me here. My body... I should be cremated."
Two thousand years are still to go. Since she promised the gods, she has to keep her word. After the Qian Yuan Continent, she estimates she will continue to travel between worlds to collect fortune and merit.
She has no control over which world she ends up in.
Hua Zhen choked up, "Xiao Zhixing!"
Hearing his sorrowful cry, Xiao Zhixing wiped his face and tears, "Tell Xiao Xuan, and the brothers, I'm doing very well..."
The door behind Hua Zhen was suddenly kicked open, and a middle-aged man who looked four parts like Xiao Zhixing rushed in, shouting, "Hua Zhen, it's a success! The baby is born!!"
He was followed by many men and women, all with excited and joyful eyes.
Hua Zhen burst into tears.
Xiao Zhixing smiled and said, "With the birth of new life, Earth has hope, and humanity will be reborn. Everyone..."
Xiao Xuan suddenly looked up, “…Sister?!”
Xiao Zhixing sensed that Deyunyi was about to give up, and finally said, "Farewell, everyone. May the earth prosper and be free from calamities."
Xiao Xuan was going crazy. It was the voice he knew best, "Sister? Sister!!!"
Hua Zhen embraced Xiao Xuan, who was frantically pounding on the wall, and sobbed uncontrollably, "She's gone, she succeeded. From now on, we will walk the path for her and help her protect her home..."
Xiao Xuan broke down, "She'll come back, won't she? Sister, sister, you'll come back, won't you? Sister! Xiao Zhixing, come back—"
Xiao Zhixing exited the channel.
Sitting in the darkness, I let the tears fall.
She didn't wipe it away. Let her cry. Over two hundred years of journey, so much heartache and hardship, no one can tell.
It's good to let it all out.
Tomorrow, she will once again be the omnipotent Xiao Zhixing, ruling the world.
Bai Feng and Hei Hu appeared out of nowhere, standing quietly not far away.
Xiao Zhixing seemed to be talking to himself, "I've never told you guys about the past, have I?"
"My home planet, Earth, is a very beautiful planet. One day, this so-called Emperor System bound itself to a host. They developed some new gene drugs, claiming they could evolve humans, but in the end, disaster struck..."
The Emperor System realized the situation was dire and beyond saving, so it fled, stealing Earth's fortune before leaving, nearly causing the extinction of humanity.
Five people were chosen to participate in the hunt, but in the end, only she survived in space.
Her voice was soft and flat, without the slightest fluctuation.
Bai Feng couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. "Isn't it all better now? The better the Qian Yuan Continent becomes, the more fortune Earth will have."
"Yes, everything will be alright."
As fortune continues and Earth gradually recovers, they will know that she is connected to them in the distant universe.
The sun rises.
As the new year begins, Yuansheng's year arrives amidst prosperity and flourishing.
Some people and events have gradually come to an end.
Luo Mangong volunteered to guard the tomb, saying, "This old servant only wishes to accompany the princess and the two emperors."
The resentful eunuch seemed like a phantom, or perhaps it was his true feeling at some point.
He said to her, "Your name, Zhixing, was chosen by the late emperor. It was a name bestowed upon the princess's future child, regardless of gender."
"Yuansheng is the name His Majesty gave to his future child. On the day you were born, His Majesty was very happy, but he could not show it. He could only laugh a few times because of Zhang Xiu's pregnancy."
Luo Mangong left quietly, accompanied by the people of Xiaoyan Village and Baixiong Village. They planned to spend their remaining years together at the imperial mausoleum.
Xiao Yuanshan still kept his long beard, saying that this way he could deceive himself and wait for the princess to return.
Wu Xu continued to travel the world, and was later sent by her to open up the Western Regions.
Not long after, the Li family reported that Qi Mengshu had passed away. It is unknown whether he had any regrets before his death.
Xiao Zhixing sent someone to return the maid and the monster son to Li Jun, and Li Jun went to the palace the next day to kowtow and thank the emperor for his grace.
The gentlemen of the Imperial Academy and the officials of the Northern State have become the new force in the court. They are gradually replacing the elders and following the young empress in ruling the country.
In the second year of Yuansheng, the struggle for the throne among the Nanfan people came to an end. Wei Wen emerged victorious and became the new emperor of Nanfan. At the end of the year, the new emperor led Nanfan to submit to Dasheng, and Wei Wen was enfeoffed as the Prince of Dingnan, a hereditary title.
In the third year of Yuansheng, Dasheng launched a four-pronged attack, taking half a year to subdue the Southern Barbarians, and the vast lands of the South were incorporated into Dasheng.
In the early part of the third year of Yuansheng, the Empress Dowager of the Western Barbarians was killed by Xiao Bao. Enraged, the Western Barbarians annexed the Southern Barbarians. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Great Sheng invaded the grasslands and joined forces with the Western Barbarians to divide the Southern Barbarians, leading to the destruction of the Southern Barbarians.
In early 44, the Western Barbarians and the Eastern Barbarians went to war. The Dasheng army continued to advance northward. The two barbarians fought a bloody battle. Xiao Long was no match for them. In order to destroy the Western Barbarians, Xiao Long submitted to Dasheng. Later, he committed suicide against the Western Barbarians alone, seriously injuring Xiao Chi. He died in Xiao Chi's arms. The Eastern Barbarians were furious. After they retrieved Xiao Long's body, they fought the Eastern Barbarians to the death.
In the early part of the fifth year of Yuansheng, Shi Erbao launched a surprise attack from the coast in coordination with the main army, destroying the Western Barbarians and eliminating the Northern Barbarians.
The Great Sheng Dynasty unified the world.
In autumn, after a grand military parade, the Empress performed the Fengshan ceremony at Dongshan Mountain.
"I am the Emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty. I now command Heaven, Earth, Man, Ghosts, and Gods. All that is illuminated by the sun and moon is my territory. Anyone who dares to invade my land will be punished within a thousand miles. No one is allowed to descend upon my territory. I hereby summon immortals, gods, ghosts, and demons to bear witness!"
