Chapter 145: Interstellar ABO (Grand Finale)
Three months had passed since the military tribunal that shocked the entire Alliance. The Blue Star Alliance’s military court had always prized speed, precision, and severity. In less than three days, the numerous articles of evidence against Admiral Derian were laid bare before the court, meticulously arranged by the Military under the supervision of the entire Alliance’s populace. An insider from the Military even revealed that the time-stamped video Admiral Derian had presented at his last press conference was actually created by a soldier. Admiral Derian had held the soldier’s family hostage, forcing him to pilot a high-fidelity replica of the Divine Eagle Mecha into a swarm of Zerg. The poor soldier thus became a victim of politics and personal gain.
Once this was exposed, along with the contract the soldier had signed with Admiral Derian, the fury of the Blue Star Alliance’s people reached its peak.
On the Main Star, radical youths even organized teams to hold protests and demonstrations. The people of the Blue Star Alliance strongly demanded that the Alliance Parliament and the military court judges reinstate the punishment of interstellar exile, which had been abolished for several hundred years.
The so-called punishment of interstellar exile was reserved for those whose crimes were unforgivable and utterly heinous. They would be ejected into the depths of space in an escape pod with no manual controls. The pod contained enough supplies to sustain the criminal for three years. During the few years they had left to live, they could only watch as the escape pod drifted deeper and deeper into the cosmos.
This would continue until the pod’s last bit of energy was depleted, plunging it into total darkness and a complete lack of oxygen, leading to the final outcome of death.
The Blue Star Alliance had no death penalty; interstellar exile was the most solemn and severe punishment people could conceive. It forced the criminal to reflect on their wretched life in the boundless depths of the starry sea, to repent in endless solitude, and finally, to offer solace to all those they had deeply harmed through a painful death.
As expected, when the court convened on the third day, it took less than half an hour. Admiral Derian, his son Nim Derian, and Yi Wen, who had betrayed the Yi Family and committed unconscionable acts, were all sentenced to interstellar exile. To ensure the three would not be eliminated by the Zerg before their exile was complete, the Blue Star Alliance specifically chose three safe routes for them.
A month later, amidst a chorus of curses, the three dejected figures were escorted by military personnel and loaded into their exile pods. It was an unprecedentedly grand live broadcast. The indignant people of the Blue Star Alliance witnessed this historic moment with their own eyes. After a brief two-minute launch preparation, the three exile pods were fired into the sky on different trajectories. This interstellar exile would be recorded in the annals of the Blue Star Alliance’s history.
A month after the interstellar exile, Admiral Chi arrived at the main Yi Family residence with great fanfare, bringing with her the entire fortune she had amassed over the past decade. She proposed to the Yi Family heiress, Yi Shuhan, and successfully secured the marriage arrangement before Yi Shuhan’s parents.
This was a public proposal, a public declaration of marriage. Chi Junluo had already obtained the consent of the Yi elders beforehand, which was why she confidently invited the media to film the entire process. Only after the verdicts for the Derians and Yi Wen were handed down did Yi Shuhan and Chi Junluo have time to meet alone. Judging from Chi Chi’s final confession during the live broadcast, Yi Shuhan wasn’t sure if Chi Chi remembered everything, but she understood that her Chi Chi now knew her true identity. Thinking back on how she had hidden her identity and pretended to be her own love rival, Yi Shuhan’s face burned with embarrassment.
She, the dignified heiress of the Yi Family, the young mistress of the main household, had actually done something so childish. The past was too embarrassing to recall. Chi Junluo stated frankly that she hadn’t recovered her memories, but she could feel a different kind of emotion for Yi Shuhan. Chi Junluo said that from the moment she woke up this time until today, although she had lost some important memories, her body was honest. It had its own memories. She could feel just how important Yi Shuhan was to her, irrespective of any other people or matters.
Although the current Yi Shuhan couldn’t quite understand the meaning behind some of Chi Junluo’s words, it didn’t stop her from hearing the key point: she was an important existence in Chi Chi’s heart. That was enough.
Yi Shuhan’s parents in this world doted on her immensely. To this day, they still felt that no one was worthy of their outstanding daughter.
Despite their numerous dissatisfactions with Chi Junluo, they couldn’t fight the fact that their daughter was in love with her. After a rather lengthy standoff, the Yi elders finally sighed and agreed to the marriage. They even chose an auspicious date on the spot, setting the time for the middle of next month.
The media departed, satisfied with their material. Yi Jun huffed in a way that suggested his disappointment in his daughter, then flicked his sleeves and left. Yi Shuhan’s mother, Madam Shu, smiled and nodded at the two young women. With a helpless sigh, she went after her husband to comfort him. After all, in Yi Jun’s eyes, wasn’t this a case of his precious cabbage being rooted up by a pig? The Yi Family’s attendants, showing great tact, also withdrew, leaving the main hall to the young fiancées.
A tradition in the Yi Family dictated that a young couple could not meet for a month before their wedding. During this time, Chi Junluo grew accustomed to life in this world, gradually beginning to see herself as a part of it. She had a premonition that the so-called Heavenly Dao would not be appearing anytime soon.
Perhaps she really should take this time in this world to sort out her heart and see her own true feelings clearly. Chi Junluo was certain she had arrived in this world 23 years ago, and that it was her past self who had fallen in love with the heroine. In her subconscious, the heroine’s weight in her heart had grown heavier and heavier along this journey. Chi Junluo thought, I must be in love with the heroine, right?
Perhaps love had already, without them noticing, quietly arrived.
The month passed quickly. The wedding of the Blue Star Alliance’s most popular admiral, Admiral Chi, and the heiress of the Alliance’s sole top-tier noble family, Yi Shuhan, was held on schedule. It was an unprecedentedly grand wedding. The entire population of the Blue Star Alliance was watching. No accidents occurred during the ceremony; there was only the head of the Yi Family, who huffily placed his daughter’s hand in Admiral Chi’s, wearing a sour expression until the wedding concluded.
The invited media and the noble families of the Main Star mingled cheerfully at the wedding. The latter half of Chi Junluo and Yi Shuhan’s wedding effectively turned into a cocktail party filled with exchanges of interests. Naturally, the greatest beneficiary was the host, the Yi Family. As for the other three great families of the Military, the Derian Family was already on a downward slope after losing Admiral Derian, its past glory gone, and had even become a family reviled by all. The Kimura and Oschalavsky families, though not severely punished for their involvement in the incident, could not set foot in this top-tier reception without an invitation from the Yi Family. Among all the noble families of the Blue Star Alliance, the Yi Family’s sole dominance was gradually becoming a settled fact.
After a reception where countless interests were exchanged, the Yi Family was already on its way to becoming a super-family. But the people, lost in the intoxicating haze of mutual benefit, failed to notice that the protagonists of this wedding, the newlywed wives, had quietly slipped away from the venue hand in hand after everyone’s attention had shifted.
On a wonderful day like their wedding day, Chi Junluo and Yi Shuhan were unwilling to waste a single precious second on false pleasantries.
Such a happy day should be spent doing happy adult things~
Life after marriage was, needless to say, blissful and happy. With Yi Shuhan’s help, Chi Junluo relearned her piloting and combat skills for the Divine Eagle Mecha, as well as the use of her mental power. As for the Power of the Heavenly Dao that had been nearly depleted, it was replenished after certain harmonious activities. But this was, after all, something that belonged to the Heavenly Dao. Chi Junluo felt a bit embarrassed to waste it too much. Meanwhile, the strange power within her own body was too conspicuous to be used openly. Thus, mastering her mental power became extremely important. Using the snippets from the Seal app and the memories Yi Shuhan recounted, Chi Junluo tried to find the memories she had lost.
Because Yi Shuhan and Chi Junluo were an Omega and an Alpha with excellent constitutions, Yi Shuhan successfully gave birth to their first child at the end of 1326. It was a baby girl, an Alpha. Regarding the surname, Chi Junluo wanted the child to take Yi Shuhan’s. She was named Yi Xinchi. In fact, Chi Junluo had initially wanted Yi Shuhan to pick her favorite name. Unexpectedly, upon hearing “your favorite,” Yi Shuhan blurted out, “Then let’s call her Yi Mecha!” This formidable name shocked Chi Junluo so much her head nearly flew off. Naming a child was truly difficult. The two of them discussed it for a full month without coming up with a suitable name. In the end, they could only choose a compromise. Chi Junluo wanted the child to have Yi Shuhan’s surname. Yi Shuhan, in turn, wanted the child’s name to contain the character “Chi,” and since this child was a new life, they simply decided to call her Yi Xinchi.
They had even already thought of a name for their second child. Following the same logic, the child would take Chi Junluo’s surname, so it was decided: Chi Xinyi!
Yi Shuhan and Chi Junluo looked at each other and smiled. As expected of them, so clever!
Chi Junluo lived in this world with her heroine for 133 years. This was the first time Chi Junluo had accompanied the heroine through her entire life in a world. The strange power in her body gave Chi Junluo the ability to see the world’s true nature. This time, she clearly saw how the heroine’s soul fragment was contracted. Several golden chains flew from a distance, wrapping around the heroine’s soul fragment again and again before finally dissipating into the air. Before her, only the heroine’s lifeless shell remained. Chi Junluo lay down beside the heroine, closed her eyes, and a smile touched her lips. Her life, too, had finally reached its end.
Gradually, she lost control of her body and fell into a deep sleep.
I wonder about that unreliable Heavenly Dao.
Will it still appear?
It has to appear…
She could hardly wait to meet the heroine of the next world.
