As time passed, the seven crystals on the star disk grew brighter and brighter, until six were already lit! Su Li's longing for her had also accumulated to an astonishing concentration, forming a small, slowly rotating, dreamy, light blue nebula in the groove.
finally!
On a moonlit night with few stars, Dabao Su Chen's abacus suddenly burst into a dazzling golden light! All the beads froze instantly!
"Now!" Dabao's voice was filled with unprecedented excitement. "Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang! The seven stars are locked in position! Energy resonance has reached its peak! Countdown to the seven-star alignment: ten breaths!"
"Yu'er! Calibrate!"
"Qibao! Maximum power output! Steady the passage!"
"Hengbao! Stop playing! Stay away!"
"Ashina! Roar! Roar the last two lines of 'The Song of the Wandering Son' with your life!"
The entire observatory instantly entered the highest state of combat readiness!
The light from the third treasure, Su Yu, was as blazing as a searchlight, fixed its gaze fixed on the seven stars in the sky that were slowly connecting into a straight line! The fourth treasure, Su Qi, blushed crimson, and her strawberry birthmark erupted with an unprecedented golden light, illuminating the star map like a small sun! Xiao Jue's Tai Chi Dao rhythm transformed into a tangible transparent light shield, enveloping the observatory! Ashina Golden Wolf, straining his neck from the audience, howled with all his acting skills and lung capacity, "Who said! An inch of grass! My heart—! I can repay! Three springs! Hui—! Awooo!" (The last sound was a broken voice)
Su Li pressed his hands tightly on the star disk, and pushed the light blue nebula of "Homesickness" that had accumulated in the groove for countless days and nights, along with all his mind and thoughts, towards the core point of the seven-star conjunction pointed by the observation instrument!
"Star tracks! Show me the way home! Go—!"
Buzz——!!!
The seventh crystal on the star disk suddenly lit up! The seven crystals connected, transforming into an incredibly condensed, colorful beam that shot up into the sky! It precisely pierced the core of the Seven Stars!
It was like a stone dropped into the mirror lake of the universe.
Above the sky, the light of the seven stars in a row suddenly twisted! Where the beam of light hit, space seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand. An extremely tiny spatial crack, flickering with unstable colorful light, was forcibly stretched open!
On the other side of the gap wasn't the pitch-black darkness of deep space, but a blurry, distorted scene that instantly brought tears to Su Li's eyes—**A bustling street! Flashing neon signs! And an incredibly familiar residential building, the one where she lived!** Although the image trembled like mosaics, and only for a fraction of a second, it was enough!
"Dad! Mom! I'm fine! I'm a general! I have four cubs! There's another one in my belly! I love you--!!!" Su Li used all her soul power to send this thought full of information, mixed with a wisp of her own purest life breath (with a little medicinal fragrance and... morning sickness?), and "shouted" fiercely along the gap that was about to close!
At the last moment when the gap is about to disappear!
* An extremely faint, confused and shocked middle-aged female voice (Su Li's mother?) seemed to pass through the gap and faintly transmit back: "...Xiao Li? General? Cub...?"
At the same time, a small, half-eaten piece of scallion pancake (Su Li's mother's specialty) flew out from the other side, as if pulled by the suction of the closing gap, and fell to the floor of the observatory with a plop! It was still emitting faint steam!
The gap completely disappeared. The seven stars returned to their original positions, as if nothing had happened.
The observatory was completely silent, with only the heavy breathing of the crowd.
Su Li collapsed to the ground, tears of ecstasy streaming down her face! She had done it! She had truly sent the message back! Her parents had heard it! They were still alive! And still baking!
Sibao Su Qi curiously picked up the small, golden pancake on the ground, which exuded the tempting aroma of green onions and the familiar (to Su Li) aroma of oil: "Mom...what is this? It smells so good!"
Su Li looked at the half-piece of pancake in her daughter's hand, which was from her hometown and had the taste of her mother. She hugged her in her arms, crying and laughing: "This is... Grandma gave Mom... the money for the trip home..."
**Section 3: Scallion Pancakes and a Peaceful Home**
That half piece of scallion pancake from the 21st century became Su Li's most precious treasure. She placed it in a jade box and carefully stored it away, occasionally taking it out to smell it, as if she could draw endless strength and comfort from it. Her parents' faint "Xiao Li?" became the strongest anchor in her heart that supported her to continue moving forward in this world.
The cute babies’ yearning for the “big steel box” has been temporarily replaced by the “fragrant grandma’s cake”.
"Mommy, mommy! Is grandma's cake more delicious than candied sweet potato?" Erbao Su Heng hugged Su Li's legs, his saliva almost dripping onto the golden abacus (clone).
"Qiqi also wants to eat grandma's cake..." Sibao Su Qi looked at the jade box eagerly.
Sanbao Su Yu used his dragon horn to repeatedly scan the half pancake, trying to analyze its ingredients. He projected countless virtual scallion pancakes dancing in the air: "Yu Yu... I have to learn... how to make this for my mother!"
Even Dabao Su Chen showed a rare interest in "vulgar things." He sniffed the fragrance escaping from the cracks in the jade box with his little nose, and said seriously, "This item contains the special 'law of homesickness' and 'energy of maternal love.' The molecular structure of its fragrance is extremely stable. It is recommended to store it in a vacuum."
Su Li was amused by the children, and the last bit of homesickness in her heart was dispelled by a deep warmth. She looked at the four babies surrounding her, felt the vitality of the little life in her belly, and then looked at Xiao Jue, who was standing beside her with gentle eyes and a breath as deep as the sea.
