Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1350 - 511: Living Advertisement

As time slowly passed, Ren Zhong, whose lifespan differed from ordinary people, gradually showed differences from those around him.

He truly did not want to end up in the tragic situation of seeing black-haired people send off white-haired ones, so he began to artificially intervene in others’ frozen time.

On the other hand, the group of Yujin Wenlei, Chen Hanyu, and others who stayed on the Source Star gave him peace of mind. These people still hoped to openly appear beside Ren Zhong one day in the future, so they cherished their biological lifespan, never daring to waste a single second.

These loyalists still adhered to the concept Ren Zhong left behind, silently cultivating the small Source Star, gathering technology and population, accumulating talent and strength, like a young tiger deep in the dark jungle, growing and growing, waiting for the day when the tiger’s roar would reverberate through the mountains and forests.

They lived in the interstellar era, but due to the institutional threats present in the external environment, they had to hide their brilliance, daring only to secretly perceive the blood-splattered yet prosperous starry sky through the telepathic resonance established by Sun Ai using the information flow between her virtual avatar and her body, and entrusted everything to Ren Zhong, the sole leader, transforming into shadow people who propel civilization forward from the dark, dedicating their strength and looking forward to the star-filled sea that has not yet arrived.

Yet compared to the returnees who left the Source Star, the loyalists were extremely fortunate.

They knew more truths and saw that Ren Zhong had been misunderstood for hundreds of years for keeping their secrets, yet he had no complaints.

When Ren Zhong renamed South Nine C to Red Peak, officially establishing the race as the Red Blade Clan, those who were truly most ecstatic were not the residents on South Nine C but, seven light-years away, the still obscure but never stopped providing technical support to Red Blade Star residents of the Source Star.

The so-called Red Peak, "Red" could refer to Ren Zhong’s innocent heart, could refer to the countless bloody skirmishes over the skies along the way, and could also refer to the fiery spirit that had been suppressed for a millennium in the hearts of the Source Star humans once seen only as tools.

As for "Blade," it can be understood in the ancient saying "The sharp edge of a treasured sword comes from honing," or can be understood as this race currently hiding its edge in a sheath, but when the sword is drawn, it will undoubtedly shake the entire universe.

Thus, through the more information obtained by Sun Ai’s virtual network from the many factions of the Empire, the confidence of the Red Blade Clan in their own future became more abundant.

They recognized their unique distinctions.

They also saw the tragedy of the Nanxiang Star Cluster Empire civilians, whose genes were altered by Liu An.

The Source Star humans, who originated from the most humble randomly combined frozen embryos, after a thousand years and dozens of generations of natural iteration, instead acquired a substantial species advantage within this corner of the Nanxiang Star Cluster.

What was once the most humble lineage source, instead became the greatest advantage of the Red Blade Clan.

"We are humble, but stubbornly resilient, and full of creativity. We absorbed and digested in less than a hundred years the knowledge that hundreds of billions of Empire people need a thousand years to digest – this is the best evidence. We have no name, are scorned by the Empire, forgotten by the universe, but it does not matter, those we care about will remember our names. Because we know how to sacrifice for others. We respect individual choices, yet each one has truly integrated into the group. This is the truth ’The Long Journey’ has taught me. But from the Source Star to Red Blade Star is only the first step of this journey."

On the Source Star, a male, once a seasoned stock analyst and now a writer named Huang, said this when releasing a new book.

His new book is titled "Characteristics of Civilization." In this book, he more clearly and understandably summarized the cultural symbols that Ren Zhong attempted to instill into the Red Blade Clan.

Now possessing a theoretical lifespan of one hundred ninety-two years, Ren Zhong decided to send everyone else into frozen slumber, but ironically, he, who most deserved to wash his hands of everything, planned instead to continue secretly holding the fort long-term. With the potential of Source Star humans gradually unleashed, increasingly advanced high-level technological achievements, difficult for Sun Ai to subtly inspire the scholars on Red Blade Star, could only be spread through his omnipotent leader’s hand, using a more reasonable and efficient way.

Yes, in the past he was a mover around the seams of time, and now he has become a mover across spatial distances.

After more than ten days of maneuvering, Ren Zhong sent the older generation with substantial physical age consumption and replaceable positions among the many high-ranking officials on Red Blade Star into frozen storage.
