[ABRIWMTHM] – Extra 4: Epilogue IV

A week later, the galactic conference surrounding Blue Star resumed.

Through the deliberate guidance of the Elders' Council on the Imperial Star Network, many citizens who initially checked in daily to urge the Imperial wedding had their attention shifted to the aftermath of Blue Star.

And all of this was handled by Chi Yao.

The postponement of the wedding, the shift in public attention, and all the negotiations with the elders regarding the postponement, Shi Xing remained completely uninvolved; Chi Yao handled everything flawlessly, leaving no room for error.

"The wedding is easy to arrange; it's just a ceremony, announcing it to the entire star system and going through the motions."

"But the matter of changing residence can't be delayed any longer. The elders have decided to take advantage of the postponement of the wedding to build a new residence during this period. You need to choose a location in the palace and see where you want to live in the future."

There are currently too many people living in the current residence.

Xu Jin had mentioned this matter briefly when he first visited the palace. For security reasons and various confidentiality factors involving the Blue Star people, the palace had not undertaken any major construction to build a new residence for Chi Yao's wedding. Shi Xing then stayed with him in the original place.

But now that they've passed the mature stage, and are officially partners, considering all factors, they still need to move.

They will live in one building, while the accompanying officials, officers, and clerks will live in another building. This is better for everyone, and they won't have to worry about privacy by keeping the energy shield on all the time.

Shi Xing: "The place we’re living in now..."

Chi Yao knew what he wanted to ask and continued, "It won't be a waste. Bi Zhou has always lived here, and he's about to come of age. This house can be left to him. It can accommodate his attendants, officers, and civilian staff, and it can even provide for him until he gets married."

  "oh."

That's true.

By that logic, they’re living too close together.

Bi Zhou has far too little private space.

After agreeing, the elders wisely avoided bothering Shi Xing about the wedding. Whenever they had free time, the two would take out the palace blueprints, and Chi Yao would explain the history and environment of each area to Shi Xing, and the two would discuss and choose together.

The intergalactic conference has been going on for half a month. The Empire isn't in a hurry; it has a mother tree. It's the other planets that are anxious.

Everyone wants Blue Star to recover quickly, and for the star system to produce more healers to fill the current large-scale medical gap. As a result, planets started competing with each other, all wanting to contribute more and do Blue Star a favor so that they could have a say in medical matters and negotiate terms with Blue Star when it recovers in the future.

After half a month of commotion, the leader of the incident was finally decided, and naturally, it was still the Empire.

The reason is that the Empire already has a mother tree, possessing all the medical professionals in the current star system. Only the Empire's leadership can guarantee relative fairness to all other planets, preventing the future medical resources of Earth from being monopolized by a single planet.

Another month passed before I embarked on my journey to Earth once more.

During this time, Erya returned to the Empire to help Shi Xing, and also wanted to witness the return of Blue Star.

Shi Ran finally passed through the maturation period, which lasted a total of 2 years, a very normal length of time.

This time, the mothership brought more medics to ensure the fleet could smoothly enter and leave Blue Star.

With Bi Zhou in charge of domestic affairs, Chi Yao and Shi Xing’s journey was exceptionally easy this time.

Upon reaching the outer star system, the scenes once teeming with celestial beasts were nowhere to be seen. Stars shone brightly, planets lay silent, and Blue Star lay peacefully in the energy turbulence zone, like all lifeless star systems, where deathly silence was the only dominant theme.

On Blue Star, they studied the Blue Star civilization to replicate the energy changes that caused Blue Stars displacement.

Shi Xing and Chi Yao stayed there for half a year.

In six months, Chi Yao and Shi Xing found the main educational location on Blue Star, deconstructed and learned all the knowledge of Blue Star, and then unlocked the key AI left behind by the Blue Star people.

The moment the human projection generated by the AI ​​appeared, they completed the most important part of the reconstruction of Blue Star.

"Guardian, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The virtual image opened its eyes, and the AI ​​spoke to Shi Xing.

The energy fluctuations from that year were preserved by the AI. However, the AI ​​was a central intelligence composed of several instruments. The Star Beasts roamed Blue Star for many years, and the components of the AI ​​were damaged to varying degrees. After the mainframes of the AI ​​were turned on, the Twin Star System sent two batches of technicians to Blue Star to repair the other components of the AI.

"To prevent data corruption, all data is stored in duplicate on different hosts."

"Once the last mainframe is repaired, I will be able to process the data and begin replicating the energy changes that occurred during the Blue star's shift."

The projection generated by the main brain followed Chi Yao and Shi Xing as they walked through the rebuilt city, talking and laughing as they went.

"Were you here when Blue Star existed?"

Chi Yao asked curiously.

Mastermind: "It depends."

"When Blue Star is functioning normally, I can run in the background without anyone noticing, and I won't project any virtual images."

"When Blue Star enters a special state, it will activate my personality and leave some data on me for future use."

"For example, in this situation, without previous data, it would be very difficult to completely recreate the living conditions of everyone back then based solely on books and all that has been preserved."

Chi Yao: "You're right."

They traveled to their birthplace.

The mainframes of the brain are not far from the mother tree group, and its projection can move in all areas of the birthplace to examine the mother trees.

The mother trees have awakened and are no longer dormant, but they have not yet started to bear blue fruit; the branches are currently full of empty fruit.

Because Blue Star needs to return to its original position, and it's unclear whether the energy impact will affect the Mother Tree, after discussing with the main brain, the two decided against the Mother Trees starting to bear fruit now. The Mother Trees understood their meaning and agreed.

In the vast forest of mother trees, each mother tree has been pruned to their liking.

There are machines on Earth specifically designed to repair the Mother Trees.

Ironically, when they repaired the pruning machine, it still contained the preference data for each mother tree, and records of all the pruning styles that the mother trees in their birthplace had ever undergone.

The mainframe checked and confirmed that more than twenty mother trees had withered and died during the process of Blue Star moving away from the galaxy, but new mother trees were growing at the same time, filling the gaps left by the missing mother trees.

Life is a cycle, repeating itself endlessly.

Six months later, the changes in energy were finally calculated.

The twin galaxy has begun attempting to open a wormhole.

The small wormhole was opened a month later.

It took another month to stabilize the wormhole passage.

But this was just the beginning. To completely pull Blue Star back from the outer star system and create an energy explosion similar to that of that time, much more time will be needed.

The first attempt was made ten months after the galactic conference.

It wasn't successful, but they gained a lot of experience.

The intervention of Daixing Technology provided them with ample computing power and tremendous assistance.

During the ten months of Blue Star's revival, neither the main brain nor the mother trees were idle. The maintenance robots on Blue Star were repaired by technology. Taking advantage of Blue Star's energy-rich environment, many robots, after being debugged, could work on their own under the main brain's settings. Recharging only required collecting energy from the air while stationary. Unless damaged, no extra help was needed.

Ten months later, with the powerful computing capabilities of AI, another component of the mainframe in the main city was also repaired. After repairing the residence in the birthplace, the mainframe began to repair the buildings in the main city.

Days passed, and after Shi Xing and Chi Yao briefly traveled back and forth through the wormhole twice, returning to the capital, the experiment to open the large wormhole was finally successful.

The official Blue Star REcalling Project was launched a year after its inception, in the early spring of the empire.

Everyone held no particular expectations..

Even though the alliance also enlisted the help of two neighboring star systems, and the technology within the star system has greatly improved through these exchanges…

However, the size of a planet requires extremely demanding energy fluctuations, and no one dared to have too high hopes for its success rate.

But this time, it succeeded.

When Blue Star reappeared in the twin star system, the surrounding energy turbulence changed again. Influenced by Blue Star, it began to intensify and return to the threshold detected by various planets a hundred years ago. Everyone was still stunned and unable to recover from the shock of reality.

When Shi Xing and Er Ya, along with staff from the Empire and various planets, once again set foot on the surface of Blue Star, Shi Xing sensed subtle changes in energy.

Yes, it's the energy fluctuation that the entire planet Blue Star should have when it's in a twin star system.

This time, it was exactly the kind of energy fluctuation that Shi Xing had sensed within the flow of time.

Strange and familiar. Yet comforting.

After Blue Star returned, the changes in the energy field allowed the mainframe to finally appear in various parts, completely initiating the reconstruction of Blue Star.

"The remaining robots and equipment are all usable. I have been programmed into the reconstruction plan, and it can now officially begin."

"Other planets don't need to do anything for me except help repair equipment and replace parts."

"I will take good care of the mother trees on Blue Star. Blue Star wants to reclaim the mother tree on the Empire. I have a mainframe that replicates the mindset of the priests and the leaders of Blue star at that time. I will conduct further negotiations with the Empire on this matter."

After returning, to prevent the planet from shifting again and disrupting or altering the energy field of that galaxy, it took a month.

The process of replicating the personality data of the Blue Star's mainframe and negotiating with the Empire took another half month.

The agreement was finally reached: the Mother Tree returned, but the contract remained in effect. To compensate and thank the Empire, medical practitioners who came of age on Blue Star would come to serve in the Empire's military in batches over the next hundred years. However, whether or not they married would no longer be interfered with by Blue Star or the Empire; it would be entirely up to the serving Blue Star Humans and Imperials.

In other words, the match was canceled.

However, the Empire, while having military medics, did not have to bear the high cost of hunting star beasts.

It's a win-win situation.

On the day the mother tree was transplanted, all the medical staff who could spare the time came.

The mother tree from which they were born was transplanted to its original location, where they reunited with their old friends who were still alive. Once again, in the place of their birth, they received a natural and abundant supply of energy. Every branch and leaf of the mother tree stretched out and swayed happily in the breeze for a long time.

After several applications from the tree nest administrators, the staff who were willing to stay, along with the mother tree and several batches of Blue Star people still growing in the tree nest, were transferred to Blue Star.

The administrator will then continue his work for the Empire on Blue Star..

Even those Blue Star people who haven't reached maturity will grow better in their native environment.

The administrator has managed the Tree Nest for over a hundred years and has many questions about Blue Star. Similarly, many of the Tree Nest's staff will have their questions answered by the mainframe on Blue Star.

With the return of Blue Star, the mother tree needed to adapt to the changes in the energy field, and most of them chose to enter a period of dormancy once again.

During the dormant period, many of the mother trees underwent metabolic replacement of their branches and leaves.

All the empty fruits on the branches naturally fell off on the first day back in the Twin Star system.

As summer draws to a close, the mother trees began to revive, sprouting new leaves and branches.

As autumn arrived, on a busy day preparing for his wedding, Chi Yao suddenly suggested going back to Blue Star for a visit.

There's nothing wrong with Shi Xing.

Upon arriving on Blue Styar, they docked at a rebuilt port. Robots moved about in an orderly fashion, and spaceships transported them back to their birthplace.

A second tree nest was built next to the birthplace.

This time, however, there was no mother tree in the tree nest, but the surrounding mother tree community was several times larger than the tree nest.

After greeting the busy mastermind, the two stepped into the mother tree forest, where most of the mother trees had already awoken.

Not knowing how deep they had gone into the woods or what they had seen, Chi Yao gently tugged at Shi Xing's sleeve.

He raised his hand, "Xingxing, look."

Following Chi Yao's pointed finger, Shi Xing saw the first blue fruit that had appeared in the mother forest sometime earlier.

It wasn’t empty..

It was a full and vibrant blue fruit.

At that moment, Shi Xing was filled with countless thoughts. After gazing at the fruit for a while, all his emotions slowly settled, his heart becoming at peace.

Shi Xing looked at Chi Yao and couldn't help but smile at him.

He received the same smile in response.

"It seems that new life will soon be born on Blue Star."

Leaning against Chi Yao, Shi Xing smiled and said.

“Yes.”

Chi Yao's eyes softened: "Soon."


That's it for the "Epilogue". There is a Wedding Extra, but first there is a Past Life Extra! There will probably be no update until Feburary, Bachelor Thesis calls XD

Pls leave a comment if you like, I'd love to hear from y'all! It motivates me too ≽^•⩊•^≼ (Pls also let me know if there is something wrong!)
