I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

On the white jade bridge in Yuxu, Wang Wei and Qi stood side by side.

In the starry sky beneath the bridge, the frozen planet floats silently.

After Wang Wei asked about "Ancient Tang", Qi remained silent for a long time.

Wang Wei did not urge her.

Qi's gaze remained fixed on the planet beneath the bridge, never wavering.

After a long silence, Qi took a deep breath and said three words: "I don't know."

Wang Wei frowned slightly.

"I don't know much about the ancient Tang Dynasty either," Qi added.

Her voice was a little lower than before, "These sixteen characters should have been recorded by our dynasty based on some scattered clues. It's not the original, it's a copy. The person who copied it probably didn't even know what they were copying."

"The ancient Tang and the Yu dynasties were two adjacent dynasties that changed hands. How could you not know that?" Wang Wei pressed.

Qi remained silent for a moment, then shook his head.

She didn't look at Wang Wei; her gaze remained fixed on the planet beneath the bridge.

Wang Wei's gaze sharpened.

He had a feeling that Qi knew something, but she was hesitant to say it.

He turned to the planet beneath the bridge. "What's going on with it?"

Qi shook his head again: "I don't know."

Wang Wei paused for a moment, then said, "You seemed very flustered just now."

Qi's fingertips lingered on the bridge railing for a moment, then relaxed again.

The movement was so subtle that it was almost invisible.

"The original plan was to let the remaining descendants leave, but it has clearly failed."

"Should we send it away again?" Wang Wei asked.

"It's no use." Qi's voice was calmer than before. "Since it can return once, it can naturally return a second time. Until we find the reason, sending it any number of times is a waste of time."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wei stopped asking questions.

Since Qi doesn't intend to say it outright, asking directly won't yield any results.

The safe house domain expanded, enveloping the entire small world and its galaxy.

The entire starry sky in the main film is within Wang Wei's domain.

However, Wang Wei got nothing.

Starlight flowed, the void trembled, and the entire vast starry sky within sight fell into Wang Wei's domain control.

The power of the domain permeated every inch of the void, every star, and every wisp of starlight, leaving no trace of the slightest movement unnoticed.

In the end, however, nothing was gained.

The entire galaxy operates smoothly, with regular trajectories and orderly cycles, without any disorder, distortion, or abnormal fluctuations, exuding ultimate naturalness and normalcy.

But there was nothing unusual; on the contrary, it was the biggest anomaly.

Why did this planet return on its own?

Wang Wei's eyes were fixed on the planet below.

Glaciers on the planet's surface are melting rapidly, exposing the buildings of the six major cities, and the landscape is beginning to recover quickly.

Wang Wei pondered for a moment, then disappeared from the white jade bridge.

The next second, he appeared in the underground world's control room.

When the six speakers saw him, their expressions changed simultaneously.

First I was stunned, then relieved, then eager.

Wang Wei raised his hand, signaling them not to speak.

He asked first, "What happened? How did you get back?"

The Speaker of the Jiangnan City Council quickly spoke, his tone urgent: "I don't know. It turned around on its own, like—it decided to come back."

Wang Wei's gaze swept over everyone: "Tell me what happened."

The Speaker of Jiangnan City quickly recounted the process of the planet slowing down, stopping, and returning on its own.

The other speakers nodded in agreement, but no one added any new information.

Wang Wei paused for a moment, then asked, "Did anything unusual happen during this time?"

"No." The speaker of Jiangnan City shook his head.

The others also shook their heads. They genuinely didn't know what was going on.

The chief engineer suddenly spoke up, as if remembering something: "Oh, right. The planet trembled before it returned."

"It trembled?" Wang Wei's attention fell on him.

"Yes," the chief engineer explained, "before returning to Earth, the planet seemed to move on its own."

He paused, then continued, "The whole planet shook. Like it had been nudged by a hand."

After he finished speaking, the control room fell silent.

No one responded.

Everyone was looking at Wang Wei.

After a moment, Wang Wei said softly, "Go out. Have someone prepare to return to the surface."

"Huh?" The Speaker of the Jiangnan City Council was stunned. "We're not leaving?"

"It can't leave anymore." Wang Wei's voice was neither loud nor soft. "If we try again, it will most likely come back."

Everyone looked at each other.

"What exactly is going on?" the Speaker of Jiangnan City couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know," Wang Wei said, "but it should be soon."

No one asked any further questions.

The planetary migration plan was thus scrapped.

Subsequently, a message was released in the underground world, and everyone returned to the surface in batches.

"Not leaving?"

"It seems... the planet has returned on its own."

"What do you mean? You mean it went home?"

"What? That's so mysterious?"

"........."

Their planet returned to its original position.

The murmurs echoed throughout the Hive Corridor of the entire underground world.

The first group to emerge were council members with superpowers.

They looked at the long-lost earth and the long-lost sunshine and breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, coming back is better than wandering in the dark universe.

Wang Wei did not stay in the control room.

He left the underground world and stood on the surface.

The buildings emerged from the ice, their surfaces still covered with wet streaks.

He looked down at his feet; the soil was thawing, and he sank slightly when he stepped on it.

The planet is recovering too quickly.

It seems illogical, but it's right there in front of us.

There was no external intervention; it was as if it were meant to be this way.

If it weren't for the traces still remaining on the ground, he would have even doubted that it had ever left.

Wang Wei withdrew his gaze and returned to the Jade Bridge in Yuxu.

Qi remained standing in the same spot.

Wang Wei looked at Qi and said, "You don't seem to know much about it."

Qi was taken aback, and said softly, "Our dynasty has been isolated from the world for ten thousand years, perhaps something has happened."

Wang Wei smiled.

This explanation is somewhat weak and unconvincing.

"Insight into the ancient Tang Dynasty," Wang Wei murmured to himself.

This is one of the few times Wang Wei has proactively used the safe house simulation.

The anomalies of the ancient Tang dynasty and the planet forced Wang Wei to take the initiative to intervene.

however,

A voice rang out: "Insufficient safe points."

Wang Wei was taken aback.

His current safe point has become a planetary unit, yet it's insufficient?

"To find out why the planet returned," Wang Wei tried again.

The phrase "insufficient safety points" remains the same.

Wang Wei frowned.

Wang Wei's third deduction of "Insight into the Yu Dynasty".

"Insufficient safety points" is still the same five words.

Wang Wei frowned.

The water was deeper than I had imagined.

Wang Wei pondered for a moment, and suddenly an idea came to him.

"Are Qi and I from the same world?"

"Insight requires 10000 planetary unit safety points. Use now?"

"Use," Wang Wei responded decisively.

Now is not the time to worry about safety.

A sound rang out:

"no"

One word.

Wang Wei's gaze sharpened, and he turned to look at Qi.
