Chapter 146 – Interstellar Plane 1.23

It was only after sending Lei Yao away that Bai Lixin called upon 1000 dimensional points to restore his body.

When he could finally move his body a little, he stood up and stumbled into the bathroom.

After washing off and scraping his body clean, he stepped out of the shower feeling fresh.

He was standing in the bathroom and towelling off his waist-length hair when he inadvertently glanced at the mirror.

The sweeping glance did not bother him at first. But as an afterthought, he realized that something was wrong, and he quickly looked at the mirror once more.

The person in the mirror had beautiful features. There was even a teardrop at the corner of his eye.

This face was familiar yet unfamiliar to Bai Lixin. It was familiar because it was his original face and unfamiliar. After all, he could not remember how many centuries it had been since he had seen this face.

He moved closer to the mirror and stretched out his hand to caress the face in it tentatively.

This was his original appearance prince of the Snow Kingdom. So many centuries had passed and he had changed into so many faces that his own had long since been blurred in his mind. He even thought that if someone walked with his face, he would only treat that person as a stranger.

However, only now did he realize how wrong his thoughts had been.

Even if his face had become a blur in his mind, he would be able to recognize this familiar and unfamiliar face at a glance.

[S419M] Bai Lixin placed his hand on the tear mole at the corner to the bottom of his eye and asked [Do you know why I have become like this?]

[ Lord Host, the physical body will follow the soul change. Let’s say, no matter how many worlds you cross and how many people you become, your soul has never changed. Suppose we enter a world full of souls, your soul will show what you originally looked like. The body is only a carrier to the soul, so when your body was remodelled, it was affected by the ripples of your soul and naturally became what you were originally]

He was only eighteen years old when he died. He was still young even though he had come of age. On the other hand, the young man in the mirror had traces of him in all his features but looked a few years older than his original appearance. He looked to be in his twenties.

The facial features were still the same, but he had grown older. His original pupils and hair were black, but because of Mo Ye’s phoenix attribute, they became fiery red.

His original beautiful appearance, set against the red pupils and long golden-red hair, was unspeakably gorgeous. Together with the tear mole under the corner of his eyes, the youth in the mirror was a rose that had blossomed to its fullest extent.

This was his appearance, yet it was not his appearance. It was a brand new appearance that had been combined after softening Mo Ye’s and his attributes.

With emotion in his heart, Bai Lixin sighed at the mirror and said, “Thank you, Mo Ye.” If it wasn’t for your special beast body, I’m afraid the real me would have died long ago. This is the gift you left me, and I will cherish it.

Bai Lixin looked for a while longer, before blow-drying his hair and returning to bed.

After a few more moments of sleep, he heard a slam before slowly waking up.

The air was filled with a rich fragrance and Bai Lixin was instantly hooked with craving.

Lei Yao smiled and pushed the cart in with a smile, “Come and eat, greedy cat.”

Bai Lixin hadn’t eaten for three days and was already hungry, so when he saw the food on the trolley, he immediately got up from the bed with a carp roll and gobbled it up.

Lei Yao explained his identity while Bai Lixin was devouring the food. HE just laughed and never asked any more questions.

He didn’t care what Lei Yao’s identity was. So what if he was the emperor? So what if he was a prince? So what if he was a traitor?

After lunch, Lei Yao took another nap with Bai Lixin in his arms. Then he got up without haste and took Bai Lixin to the central control room to meet the mysterious group of staff.

When Li Sidan saw Bai Lixin, an excited expression appeared in his eyes, and he rushed over to surround him with excitement, constantly looking him up and down. He was holding the instrument and making tests and moved to go to touch Bai Lixin.

Chi Chuan was watching the action when he saw what Li Sidan was going to do. He hurriedly pulled Li Sidan and saluted: “Greetings, General Lei Yao!”

Lei Yao nodded and said meaningfully, “The spirit of scientific research is rare and valuable, but it must also be based on the premise of environmental impact, Colonel Li Sidan.”

Li Sidan grinned and nodded, “I just shouldn’t touch him, right General?”

Lei Yao looked to Bai Lixin and saw him nod. Li Sidan’s eyes lit up and his gaze burned into Lei Yao.

Lei Yao paused for a long time before rolling his throat and letting out a forced “mmm.”

Li Sidan let out a shout at Lei Yao’s agreement and gave a military salute to Bai Lixin, “It’s good to see you, sentinel Mo Ye. Would you please let me do a few tests on you?” He paused and added emphatically, “There will be no physical contact.”

Bai Lixin smiled, “Contact is fine. You are free to examine. I would also like to see what has happened to my body.”

Without delay, Li Sidan rushed to perform tests on him.

Mo Ye’s previous ability test from the Sentinel Academy showed D rank. So, Li Sidan’s first test was on the level of his ability.

He had purposely created a tester with a higher limit this time, to prevent it from bursting again.

The first test was on mental power, and when Bai Lixin used his power, Li Sidan saw the meter climbing upwards before it stopped at one-fifth of the meter.

Li Sidan clapped his hands in amazement, “S-rank ability! Going straight from D-rank to S-rank, that’s awesome.”

Bai Lixin smiled, “What’s the next test?”

Li Sidan hesitated for a moment and said excitedly, “Can I ask you to transform? I want to test your beast body’s attributes.”

With an “En”, Bai Lixin turned into a flaming phoenix.

He used his power on the tester and saw that the red line that had stopped halfway began to climb upwards until it reached four-fifths of the tester.

When Li y saw the result, he frowned slightly, “4S? How can it be only 4S? On the day of the battle, it had already broken through 4S, so 5S would have been expected.”

Bai Lixin scratched his head in embarrassment, “I burned my life force that day so that I could defeat the mother zerg. I’m very weak, and the limited energy can only be used once. The next time I do it again, I’m afraid I’ll die.”

No way.

Li Sidan was a science freak, he had to get to the bottom of anything he was curious about. If he found out that he was reborn and his powers had become 3S and his beast form had become 5S, he would never have peace again.

It’s always good to have a way out for yourself.

These results were enough for Li Sidan to study.

As soon as he heard Bai Lixin’s “tragedy”, he was slightly stunned and said, “I’m sorry, I… I didn’t know you were……”

Lei Yao also made a sad face at the right time, and the conversation was over.

The news of the mother zerg’s death was passed on to the Imperial army and the Imperial family on Diyang that afternoon. Before anyone could break free from that ecstasy, they were swept up in even greater fear.

Aside from that mother zerg, there might be a new, more powerful mother zerg?

Only a few high ranking members of the military and the royal family knew about this, and they chose to suppress the news in order not to cause panic among the people on the planet Diyang.

Five days later, the emperor of the Diyang Star Empire summoned Lei Yao, Bai Lixin, Chi Chuan and Yang Fei, who had made outstanding contributions in the battle. He gave Bai Lixin the rank of Major General on the spot, making him an icon of the empire.

In the end, Bai Lixin gave up many comforts as he chose to return to the base on R18 with Lei Yao again to prepare for the next battle.

However, ten years later, Diyang star was never threatened by the Zerg even once.

The arrogant and ferocious zerg seemed to have completely disappeared with the death of the mother zerg.

There were many high-level meetings of the Imperial army, and more and more people thought that Lei Yao’s claim of a “new mother zerg” was just nonsense. He had no definitive proof at all but had only made a wild guess.

Perhaps the mother zerg had escaped because of a crisis on the planet where they were stationed.

Perhaps it had developed an infectious terminal disease, and most of the zerg had died from it; perhaps the planet had become polluted because of their unrestrained presence, thus causing the zerg population to die out.

These were all possible reasons why the mother zerg flew against all odds to Diyang with a mere 50,000 zerg.

The mother zerg was already fearfully powerful, and just fighting this old queen had taken the humans hundreds of years of light.

They dared not imagine that there could be a new, younger female that was twice or even several times stronger.

Perhaps this new mother zerg was just an alarmist remark made by Lei Yao?

In the space of ten years, Diyang had easily returned to the peaceful glory of its ancestors a hundred years ago. It was difficult to go from luxury to frugality but easy to go from frugality to luxury.

They had already spent ten years living in comfort and were no longer willing to enter that period of high tension at times again.
