Chapter 342 Walking Together

Sometimes Pei Zhiyi would think that forgetting her more than ten years in interstellar space might not be a bad thing.

It was through sheer recklessness and unexpected twists of fate that he found his way in this interstellar age.

The more people know, the more they tend to be wary.

It's like something called growth, something invisible and intangible, pushing her forward.

The road ahead was one that no one had ever traveled before, and she herself had to walk the path ahead.

Today, she continues to wander on a path where she has no experience whatsoever.

She was even less capable than Feng Quandao; she only thought of herself from the beginning.

Feng Quandao, however, carried all the Betas on his back.

He achieved what he has today through his own efforts, along with the countless people who follow him.

"I'm the one who should be worried," Pei Zhiyi said softly, hugging Shi Min. "What will I do without you guys supporting me?"

She wasn't the kind of person in cultivation novels who could cultivate the ruthless path.

She yearns for the simplest forms of parental love and family affection.

"Will you always be with me? No matter what I do?" Even she herself couldn't be sure what decisions she would make in the future.

Shi Min slowly stroked her back and said, "Yes."

Pei Zhiyi's lips curled up: "You worry that I will abandon you, and I worry that you will abandon me. It seems like we've entered a vicious cycle."

They had already declared their love, yet they were still trapped inside.

Shi Min's gaze fell on the bed: "We are just ordinary people."

Pei Zhiyi laughed: "Having done so much, you still consider yourself an ordinary person?"

Ordinary people are probably like her in her previous life, struggling every day to survive and racking their brains to live a slightly better life.

What they are probably carrying is the expectant gaze of their family members.

Shi Min sensed Pei Zhiyi's nervousness. Her hands were tightly wrapped around her neck, but in this position, he couldn't see her facial expression and could only guess from her body language.

Shi Min, I don't know if I can bear so much.

“After I was released from the prison, Representative Haraka came to see me.”

Pei Zhiyi kept this matter a secret from everyone.

"We are now facing an unprecedented upheaval, with the landscape of Alpha, Omega, and Beta being reshaped."

Previously, Alpha was independent, but due to Feng Quandao's unpredictable actions, Beta was brought to the table for the first time.

When Alpha and Beta stand at the table, the Omega, who has always been hidden behind Alpha, either settles down as Alpha's vassal or stands up like the Beta.

Standing up is easier said than done.

But then Pei Zhiyi appeared.

He broke through the encirclement single-handedly.

Even though it was officially confirmed that Yuan Xiang had no real relationship with Feng Quandao, she had been involved in politics for so many years and keenly sensed that the path for Omega had narrowed.

Moreover, although they claim to have no real relationship, their interactions over the years have affected far more than just actual transactions.

It's not about what the brain thinks.

If Feng Quandao was able to take such a desperate gamble, what gave Yuan Xiang the confidence to do so?

But she was so unwilling to just step back like that.

There have been signs of this for years; most Omegas ultimately choose to follow in the footsteps of Alphas, becoming a comforting mascot.

In some ways, they, the Omegas, are actually inferior to the Betas.

Over 90% of Omegas can become comforters, or at the very least, after marriage, they can comfort their husbands.

However, because Betas have no one to rely on, they are involved in many jobs.

Even without Alphas, they can still get a lot of work done. Ultimately, Omegas have no other way out.

Who can say that Pei Zhiyi wasn't involved in the military's Omega training?

If it weren't for Pei Zhiyi, what would be the point of all this time-consuming and laborious training? We could simply follow the old calendar.

"I didn't think it would be that fast. Feng Quandao only said that a month ago."

Even if she had a vague feeling before, even if Feng Quandao had put it to this extent, it was not as clear as Yuan Xiang directly tearing away all the pretense.

"I'm afraid I can't handle it," Pei Zhiyi sighed softly.

She only dared to say these things to Shi Min and the others.

"No rush. Since she has this idea, she won't just leave it to you alone," Shi Min said softly as he listened quietly.

Pei Zhiyi looked at the tightly sealed wallpaper with its exquisite and beautiful pattern: "I know, I'm just a little confused."

"Director Qin is also helping me; the military also has similar plans."

The pressure felt like a mountain was quietly weighing on her back, and she smiled bitterly, "Right now, I don't even think I'm doing as well as Feng Quandao."

At least in terms of cunning, Pei Zhiyi wasn't as shrewd as him.

It's all scheming and plotting, and in the end, it can even lead to your own demise.

He has already reached the pinnacle of the Beta level, so the effect of his words is naturally different from that of ordinary people.

"You've done very well," Shi Min said, patting him gently. "How old are you?"

A colonel in his early twenties—who wouldn't call him a promising young talent?

"There's still over a hundred years to go, don't rush it."

“We were interested in you from the beginning, not some Omega organization.”

Pei Zhiyi listened to Shi Min's words and almost laughed: "Shi Min, you're suddenly being so willful."

There's a kind of beauty in it that doesn't care about the lives or deaths of others.

Shi Min: "A leap forward like Feng Quandao's requires human lives to pay for it."

"You've accomplished something he couldn't, so just listen to what he taught you and forget about it."

Even if those words were true, Shi Min didn't want Pei Zhiyi to care so much right now.

"Omegas have changed so much because of you, they no longer need to do it secretly, but openly and honestly, right?"

The changes in military academies and the military headquarters are happening much faster than the regulations that the Betas are about to establish.

“There are paths even under the sun, my dear.” Shi Min’s fingers twirled a strand of her hair. “You saved yourself, and you also paved a path for others.”

She has grown herself into someone she cannot easily abandon.

It grew into a towering tree, sheltering the people beneath it from some of the wind and rain.

"I don't know how serious the situation will be with the upcoming beast tide," Shi Min said. "The changes that will bring the Federation and the Empire together will be a protracted war."

"We will overcome this together again, like a joint entrance exam, or a friendly match." It will be like every single time in the past.

Even if we may not face it together, it won't change.

"We will still be under the same starry sky."

Shi Min's comfort was like a gentle breeze and a light drizzle.

It's hard to believe that his initial impression of him was that he was serious and aloof.

The two hugged tightly, and then Shi Min said, "After this marking, we won't mark you for a while, sweetie."

Pei Zhiyi was slightly taken aback, then realized that what Teacher Jiang and Director Qin had said still had an impact.

“You might have to work even harder then,” Shi Min said.

Pei Zhiyi looked up at him, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes.
