From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

For the twelve agents of the Sui Beast Sui Pian, who are long-lived and powerful, their only major concern is the Sui Beast's true form, which is gradually reviving due to an accident.

No one knows whether they, as pieces of the Year Beast, will be completely recovered or will be able to retain consciousness when the Year Beast fully awakens. Among Nian's sisters, the one who is eleven years old has not slept for a thousand years because of this fear.

And now, according to Si Ye, Nian was indeed dead, and his soul and authority began to return to the body of the Sui beast, but was easily stopped by Si Ye. This was like giving a panacea to a terminally ill patient, and Nian became more energetic.

“It should be possible, but…”

Si Ye was very clear about Nian's situation. She was actually in a stuck state. She was indeed dead. Her soul and authority began to return to the body of the Sui beast according to instinct, but Si Ye saved Nian's body and used his spiritual power to forcibly press her soul into her body.

So in fact, Nian is still alive, but the Sui beast itself senses that a piece of Sui has died, and the body spontaneously keeps pulling. Once Si Ye withdraws his spiritual power, there is a high probability that Nian's soul will be summoned away by the Sui beast itself.

The only way is for Si Ye to spend some effort to deal with the body of the Sui Beast, and then direct the Sui Beast's connection to the Sui Pian family to himself. Si Ye does not need the souls of these Sui Pians, so the troubles of the Sui Pian family will naturally be solved.

But the only drawback of this solution is that it takes time. It is impossible for Yan State to let Si Ye deal with the corpse of the Sui Beast based on his one-sided statement. Whether it is suppressed by force or following the procedures, it will take a lot of time. According to the information Si Ye collected from the surroundings, the current time on Ark Terra is 1094.

The year 1094 was a delicate one, the year with the most foreshadowing before the main storyline began. In this year, the Doctor, who was severely tormented by the problems of the previous and current civilizations, chose to be assassinated by Theresa. At the same time, his memory was erased by Theresa and he lay back in the sarcophagus. The Tower of Babel was disbanded, Amiya was crowned the Demon King, and Tallulah, who was far away in the tundra, began to recruit the infected to establish the Integration Movement.

Si Ye intends to take over the world of Arknights as the Emperor's direct world, but if he doesn't want to go through the trouble of personally dealing with Hai Si and the Originium everywhere, he'd better find the Doctor before the Tower of Babel plot unfolds and complete the task of recruiting the former civilization.

Compared to the doctor who can transform from the evil spirit of the Tower of Babel into a stone-slinging goblin at any time, the problems of the Suipian family are not so urgent.

"But...what? Don't just say half the words!"

Stopping talking halfway can drive people crazy. Nian looked at Si Ye, who had said half a sentence and then stopped talking, and he was so anxious that he spoke in dialect.

"One good news and one bad news. Which one do you want to hear first, Miss Nian?"

"Why are you keeping me in suspense? Tell me the good news first."

"The good news is that I can solve the problems of your family, the Sui Beast's agent. Whether it's the Sui Beast itself or the agent who died and returned to the Sui Beast itself, I can solve them all."

Shrugging his shoulders, Si Ye continued

"The bad news is that I don't have time right now. I need to go to Kazdel first. There's something very important waiting for me there."

"Kazdel, isn't there still a civil war going on there..."

Nian couldn't understand why Si Ye was going to Kazdel, but the opportunity to save her family was right in front of her. Nian couldn't help but wonder if this was her only chance in her life. She didn't dare let Si Ye escape, so she spoke quickly.

"Then I want to follow you."

"You can't help but follow me."

Si Ye raised his hand, and the spiritual energy in Nian's body was withdrawn little by little. She immediately felt the force coming from afar that was constantly pulling at her soul.

"In your current state, once the spiritual energy I release into you is exhausted, you will be sucked away by the Sui Beast's true form. If you want to live in peace, you must follow me until I have time to deal with the Sui Beast."

"Hey, help, help, it's coming out..."

The spiritual energy was replenished, and the constant pulling feeling was suppressed again. Nian hurriedly nodded in agreement. She didn't want to experience this weird feeling of the soul leaving the body again.

"Oh my god, today was really exciting..."

The young woman let out a long sigh, finally getting rid of the dizziness caused by her soul being pulled. She turned her head to look at Si Ye.

"Even though you've made me like this, I still want to thank you for solving our biggest problem. How about I treat you and let's go have hot pot to celebrate?"

"Where are you going to eat hot pot?"

Only then did Nian notice that outside the car window was not the mountains of Shangshu, but a wilderness. A few brave Originium insects were crawling through the bumpy pile of rubble, looking towards this side.

"Have you left Shangshu?"

As if he thought of something, Nian clapped his arms.

"Oh, you made such a big noise, I'm afraid all the Heavenly Masters in Shangshu will be alarmed. It's right to leave."

Most of the wastelands outside the mobile city are the same. The land ravaged by natural disasters is dark brown, and apart from some Originium creatures, there is no sign of life.

"If I want to get to Kazdel, what's the fastest way?"

After answering the questions and solving the problems, Si Ye reached a consensus with Nian. He began to check the various parameters of the shuttle. There was still one small problem: he didn't know the way.

"Ok?"

Nian looked at Si Ye with some confusion.

"So you said you had to go to Kazdel urgently, but you didn't know the way?"

If Si Ye used his psychic power to expand his perception range, perhaps he could directly determine Kazdel's location and teleport there. However, based on the feeling of using psychic power after coming to Terra and the settings in his memory, this land also has a subspace. If Si Ye used his psychic power to the fullest, he might open a hole directly to the subspace inside the continent, and the subspace demons would be sprayed everywhere, which would be a disaster.

Without satellites and maps, Si Ye naturally had no way of knowing where Kazdel was. If Nian couldn't come up with an idea, Si Ye would have to consider randomly catching lucky people and reading their minds until he got the location.

"Then you must know which direction of Shangshu we are now."

"It's west of Shangshu. To prevent the city's celestial masters from finding it, I teleported it in the opposite direction of the mobile city."

"East, south, west, north, then drive this way,"

Year pointed in a direction,

"There should be a road over there. If we get on it and follow the outer road, we should find a road that leads directly to the Dragon Gate. Once we get to the Dragon Gate, we can get a map or a guide and then we can go to Kazdel."

Si Ye had no objection. The nano-metal on the surface of the shuttle was camouflaged. Although it still looked very sci-fi, in Terra, a place with isolated information, it would at most be mistaken for a private transport vehicle of a large company.

Along with the chirping of the frightened Originium worms, the vehicle vibrated slightly, and the tires made of molecular materials crushed the gravel, and the vehicle began to move in the direction pointed by Nian.

Chapter 3 Lively Dragon Gate

Due to natural disasters, there are a large number of uninhabited areas and lawless areas on the Terra continent. Refugees and villains gather in these uninhabited areas, forming gangs and dens of thieves. These people make a living by robbing caravans on the road, and Si Ye's large dump trucks are a big piece of fat in the eyes of these people whose brains may be burned by mineral sickness.

In a hilly area without a road, the car's AI automatically slowed down due to the rugged rocks. This gave the bandits lurking there an opportunity. They set up simple barricades and used an explosive Originium technique as an opening to stop Si Ye.

The onboard AI showed that there seemed to be quite a few man-made car traps around, but for a shuttle that was disguised as a truck but could actually be used as an interstellar spacecraft, it was actually nothing. The reason it stopped was because Si Ye was in a playful mood because he got a new toy.

"I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to pass by, stay..."

The leading gangster said some lines that were nothing new.

"Miss Nian, let me show you something fun."

As Nian's eyes changed from confusion to amazement, Si Ye pretended to gesture with his finger.

"The sky has a furnace, the earth produces five metals..."

As Si Ye spoke, first the crude weapons in the hands of the bandits, then the iron sand sifted from the ground, were gathered into the air by an invisible force, forming an abstract monster with bared fangs and claws.

Seeing this, the bandits knew they had run into a tough opponent, and they began to flee separately in tacit understanding. However, the monster transformed from swords and iron sand had already begun its hunt, and its huge claws easily slammed the bandits into the ground.

The bandit leader, who was skilled in blasting, tried to resist, but only left a tiny hole in the iron sand, which was quickly filled up as the iron sand flowed, and then he was pressed into the ground like his subordinates.

"Is this my power?"

Of course her power year wouldn't be wrong, she asked in surprise.

"Your ability simulates my power? No, this is my power. How did you do it?"

Although the usage was crude, Nian was still certain that Si Ye was using the power she wielded.

This was also Si Ye's sudden inspiration. The psychic energy gathered from the faith of the people of the empire was powerful, but in the empire, this huge amount of psychic energy was mostly used to crush the stars of alien species when there were not enough Burning Heaven Divine Soldiers to handle it, or to clean the surface of habitable planets. The key to using it was to use a lot of force to make bricks fly.

This resulted in Si Ye's control over the output of psychic energy not being so precise. In a world below the surface like Arknights, Si Ye always felt restrained when using psychic energy, fearing that he would accidentally create a hole between the subspace and reality.

Nian has Si Ye's spiritual power in his body. Through this connection, Si Ye can easily borrow Nian's power. Si Ye can use this native ability freely.

In response to Nian's question, Si Ye did not say anything, but took the initiative to strengthen the psychic connection between the two.

"So, you can borrow my abilities directly through this link."

"That's right, Miss Nian's abilities are quite useful. Are you interested in working for me? The salary is negotiable."

The power of the year lies in shape. The weapons of the bandits were quickly melted under the high temperature, and the impurities were smelted away. Finally, what flew into Si Ye's hands was an irregular metal ingot. Following Si Ye's thoughts, the metal ingot changed shape rapidly and turned into lifelike animal models.

It is said that Nian also contributed to the construction of Dayan's mobile city. This ability can be used to build such a huge thing as a mobile city, and it can also be used to build a spaceship. It is an ability that civil engineers dream of. If those Imperial Construction Departments who are almost crazy about building giant structures see it, Nian will at least be made a director.

"Ah...it's not impossible."

So Nian just scratched his face and answered vaguely. The two had only known each other for less than a few hours. Although the giant beast, which was free by nature, did not like to be restrained, if Si Ye really solved the Sui beast, their family would owe him a great favor. In Yan Country, this was a life-saving grace, and it was nothing more than a pledge of one's life in return.

Si Ye didn't notice Nian's sudden awkwardness and continued to start the car.

"Then think about it carefully. Don't rush to give me an answer. This invitation is valid forever."

...

The highwaymen were just an interlude. With AI driving, Si Ye and Nian chatted occasionally to pass the time. Thanks to the extraordinary performance, the journey from Shangshu to Longmen, which takes more than a day, was a journey that took more than a day. By dusk, Si Ye could already see the huge mobile city appearing at the end of the horizon.

"We're almost at Longmen. Should we just drive in?"

Si Ye poked Nian, who was sleeping soundly in the passenger seat.

"Um, ah? Oh."

Nian wiped her saliva in a very ungraceful manner. To be honest, this was the most comforting sleep she had ever had. The power called psychic energy was like a warm sun, dispelling all the fear and haze brought by the Sui beasts before. This kind of spiritual comfort was unprecedented.

"Your car is too conspicuous. It'll be hard to get into Longmen without proper documentation. If all else fails, you can wait for me outside Longmen. I'll sneak in, get the map, and come back."

"Don't bother,"

The two stopped a few kilometers away from Longmen. Si Ye shook his head and then signaled Nian to get out of the car.

With some imperceptible sounds of metal friction, the huge truck collapsed and turned into silver sand, forming a spectacular ribbon that flowed into Si Ye's cuffs.

"Wow, the world is hidden in his sleeve."

Nian couldn't help but sigh.

Although the behemoth could also use some creations or authority to achieve similar storage or concealment, the sight of this different system of things in front of her still made Nian feel extremely novel.

"In that case, why don't we have a meal at Longmen before continuing on our journey? Although the hot pot at Longmen is a little less spicy, it still tastes good."

As they gradually became familiar with each other, Nian showed the enthusiasm of a Sichuan girl.

"Kazdel's matter is urgent, but not that urgent. There's still time to experience the local customs and people in Longmen."

Longmen, a gateway city located in the northwesternmost part of Yan State, has become a more important commercial center among the countries on the mainland with its open and inclusive business model. The widely circulated Longmen currency originated from this.

Although the performance of its city lord Wei Yanwu in the plot has received mixed reviews, and his way of doing things is hard to describe, this does not affect the unique charm of the city of Longmen.

Longmen's main urban area is divided into two urban areas, the inner and outer urban areas. As an open city, it has a large number of foreign populations. A large number of poor people and infected people gather in the outer urban area to form slums, which is in sharp contrast to the prosperous scene in the inner urban area.

Eating fish balls just bought from a roadside stall, oh, in this land they should be called scale balls.

While eating scale pills, Si Ye and Nian were walking on a very busy commercial street. Nian looked at the colorful movie advertisements of the street cinema and complained dissatisfiedly.
