Final Chapter
In the endless and mysterious universe, stars large and small twinkle with their own unique brilliance. Within a vast star field lies a belt of meteorites constantly burning, colliding, and exploding. A glance at it without goggles could easily bring tears to one's eyes from the blazing light.
No ship was willing to approach it, and would rather take a long detour than pass by it.
This is the Star-Ending Meteor Belt, a meteor belt with a five-star danger rating.
But now, at the entrance to the Star-End Meteor Belt, which was originally extremely silent, there are countless spaceships with detectors patrolling. They go back and forth around the entrance tirelessly, guarding from morning to night, changing shifts, and then continuing to guard.
Of course, there were also some news media ships that tried to interview these stubborn patrollers.
"Hello, which unit do you serve in?" The reporter finally caught an officer who had just finished his shift.
"T73 Corps." the officer replied.
"Your military rank seems to be not low. If you return to your hometown, you will definitely receive very good treatment. Why don't you go home? The war has lasted for so long. Don't you miss your family?" the reporter asked again.
The officer had a dark face, but tenderness in his eyes. "I miss my wife very much. She sent me a message the day before yesterday saying that our daughter has learned to speak!" The officer's face was filled with pride. "Once we find the general, I will rush home to see them!"
The reporter's expression froze. He hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "I don't mean to attack you, but..."
"That's the Star-Ending Meteor Belt. General Yu Sheng can't possibly be alive." At the United Interstellar Headquarters, Council Speaker Enbi said the same thing as the reporter. Sitting across from Enbi, Frey's face remained expressionless. He simply said, "I'm sorry, but I won't accept the position of Council Speaker until Yu Sheng is found."
"..." Embi was really helpless. He felt very sad and regretful about Yu Sheng's sacrifice, but the promising emperor in front of him seemed to be possessed by a demon. He firmly believed that Yu Sheng, who had entered the Star-Ending Meteorite Belt, could come back alive. He still refused to take over the position of Chairman of the United Interstellar Council. You know, ever since one of the three chairmen of the council became vacant, the rulers of many prosperous planets have been fighting openly and secretly for the position. Now that he has taken the initiative to extend an olive branch, why does Frey refuse to accept it?
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, if you're still holding out hope for General Yu Sheng because he once crossed a five-star meteorite belt during the Interstellar Network's mecha competition, you'd better give up." Enbi tried to soften his tone.
"The Interstellar Network is ultimately just a virtual network. The organizers set the asteroid belt at 500 million meters and provided a fixed, correct route, which allowed General Yu Sheng to successfully pass through it. In reality, no one knows how many meters the Star-Ending Asteroid Belt is, nor does anyone know if there's a correct route to escape."
Frey said a faint "hmm" and repeated his previous words, "I will not accept the position of Council President unless Yu Sheng returns."
Enbi sighed heavily in his heart, knowing that the emperor in front of him would not compromise, and the two parted unhappily.
After leaving the headquarters of the United Interstellar, Frey rushed back to the entrance of the Star-End Meteor Belt. Not far from here, Frey sent people to build a star station as a residence, waiting for Yu Sheng to come back.
He couldn't abandon the affairs of the Wenxue Empire and had to travel frequently back and forth between Wenxing and the Star Station. To save time, Frey took the fastest interstellar transportation. This transportation method was generally not suitable for transporting living things and would cause damage to living organisms, but Frey insisted on taking it.
The station had no extra facilities, save for a bed, a desk, and a refrigerator filled with nutrient solution. Frey opened his personal terminal and found a news item in his notification bar. The title read: "General Yu Sheng's Charm and the Soldiers' Determination: Let Us Hope for Miracles."
Frey clicked on the news. It was an interview video. In the video, a rugged-looking, dark-skinned officer said seriously to the camera, "General Yu Sheng won't die so easily. A small meteorite belt is nothing! We will definitely wait for him to come out!"
Under this news, not a single comment mocked or thought that these soldiers had mental problems, because they understood that it was General Yu Sheng who stood up in the time of interstellar crisis and led the interstellar coalition to eliminate the greatest enemy of the interstellar space - the Zerg. No one wanted to believe that he died like this, but the bloody reality was before them.
These patrolling soldiers can hold out for one day, ten days, one month, or ten months, but no matter how long they hold out, General Yu Sheng probably won't come back.
The two most legendary and great generals in the interstellar world, Hilton and Yu Sheng, both ended up with such a sad ending.
The United Interstellar was actually about to issue a martyr's notice and memorial day for General Yu Sheng, but Frey sent people to negotiate many times, asking them to change the martyr's notice and change Yu Sheng's personal status to missing.
The United Interstellar had no choice but to declare Yu Sheng missing as Frey said, and injected hundreds of millions of gold coins to build military academies named after the "Sheng" in Yu Sheng's name on various planets to commemorate this hero.
One month later, Wenxing Palace.
In front of the research institute's breeding chamber, Haydn was happily playing the "fist bump" game with the little guy separated by a barrier. As this little life grew, the emotions he showed became richer and more active, and his appearance became more lovely and delicate.
At first glance, the little guy looks like Frey, but if you look closely at his facial features, his black pupils and delicate nose are exactly like Yu Sheng's. I don't know whose personality he will take after, but judging by his liveliness, it's definitely not Frey.
"The little one will be born in two weeks, right?" Haydn asked Caesar beside him, "Won't His Majesty come back to greet his little son?"
"He's on his way and will be arriving at Wenxing within a week." Caesar said, and he extended his hand to "fist-bump" the little guy, saying softly, "Little guy, do you miss your daddy?"
The baby in the incubator seemed to react to the word "Dad". He wiggled his butt, stretched out his legs, and kicked the barrier with a bang. Then he punched it again. Haydn was amazed. "How much does this guy dislike his dad? All these punches and kicks..."
Both of them tacitly did not mention the little guy's other father. It was not that they had given up hope, but when the hope was too slim, it was better to bury it deep in their hearts and lock it up tightly.
One day later, Frey, who was packing his bags at the star station, suddenly shuddered. He looked out the window at the meteorite belt filled with flames, and seemed to have some feeling.
Two weeks later, the fully grown little one in the nursery was finally about to be born.
"Has His Majesty not arrived yet?" Haydn was so anxious that he kept staring at the small window of the operating room and then looking out the corridor. "If he doesn't come back soon, he won't be able to see the newborn baby first!"
"Don't worry." Caesar didn't know why Frey was delayed, and he didn't reply to the message. "It should be soon."
When a cry representing a new life came from the operating room, all the people guarding outside couldn't help but have tears in their eyes. A series of footsteps sounded from the corridor behind them. Everyone instinctively turned around and was about to greet His Majesty, but suddenly they all froze.
The familiar person who made them worry about him lay on Frey's broad back and smiled at them:
"Luckily I caught up. My son's crying was so loud."
