The Last Commander of the Red Alert-Chapter 776: Farewell to Big White Rabbit (4)
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed since Libra arrived here.
During this time, Libra had established strong connections within the entire research facility, and the Qiluo Civilization had officially recognized her as a researcher, making her a new deputy director of the institute.
She wasn't just confined to the institute; she had also visited Yan Yun Star, or more accurately, the Yan Yun Star of the past.
At this moment, Yan Yun Star showed no traces of any intelligent life activity on its surface. It was filled with natural beauty everywhere. Libra documented all these beautiful scenes, intending to share them with Commander, as she remembered Commander's fondness for such vistas.
During one unexpected surveying expedition, she even encountered the Cosmic Behemoth known as Big White Rabbit that lived on Yan Yun Star!
The existence of this Cosmic Behemoth seemed to have gone unnoticed by the institute for the time being, and Libra's encounter with it was purely accidental.
Although Big White Rabbit couldn't speak, Libra could communicate with it through psychic power. At this time, Big White Rabbit appeared to be at its peak, with strength reaching the level of a Large Galaxy.
She remembered vividly how the institute discovered Big White Rabbit, attempted to capture it, engaged in a fierce battle with it, and eventually severely injured it. This forced Big White Rabbit to retreat into the depths of a planet to recover, a process that would take countless years.
Cosmic Behemoths had long lifespans, and even their injuries were not easy to heal. In general, Cosmic Behemoths rarely engaged in combat unless absolutely necessary.
Libra knew the future fate of Big White Rabbit, and she couldn't change it; all she could do was chat with it.
Later, the institute did indeed discover the existence of Big White Rabbit. After testing its strength, they submitted an application to Mother Star to send a Large Galaxy-level powerhouse to capture it. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
The results were apparent; they failed.
The powerhouse left, as he had many other matters to attend to. During this period, there were too few Large Galaxy-level powerhouses in the Qiluo Civilization, and one person had to do the work of ten due to the rapid expansion, which ultimately led to this situation.
If the Qiluo Civilization had had a sufficient number of Large Galaxy-level powerhouses from the beginning, perhaps they could have held their ground.
As Libra knew, Big White Rabbit disappeared, most likely burrowing into the interior of a planet. With the assistance of the institute, the Ghost Clan had begun to multiply and thrive. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the Ghost Clan became the Yan Yun Star Master.
One day, Libra suddenly recalled something – the time when she became a witch in the Yan Yun Star Underworld.
In those abandoned former Ghost Clan tribes, she had seen some things that seemed to connect with her own past. At that time, she hadn't thought much of it, but now, she couldn't help but wonder if those things were left behind by her.
Only she would know her own appearance and when she would go to that place. Having experienced these events, she was like a prophet with foresight.
"If Commander were to know the truth, I wonder how he would react?" Libra thought, a faint smile forming on her lips.
What Libra didn't know was that Su Chen was in a state of panic after losing contact with her.
He had ordered all the warships heading to the other side of the Milky Way to return, and both Dolphin and Giant Squid were searching tirelessly, desperately trying to find any trace of Libra.
After two weeks of searching, they located the Stellar Spacecraft Carrier Libra had been on. According to Alice's information, Libra had left the warship alone and hadn't returned.
"Search, find her at all costs. Scatter and search, centered around the Stellar Spacecraft Carrier!" Su Chen's face remained expressionless.
Libra's disappearance had the greatest impact not on Su Chen, but on Yun Ru.
In recent times, Yun Ru had lost her focus on research, constantly gazing towards the Milky Way, hoping for Libra's return.
She believed that Libra's disappearance was her fault. If she hadn't asked Libra to capture the Milky Way creatures, Libra wouldn't have gone missing.
Leng Yuwei had been consoling Yun Ru, but if Libra didn't return, Yun Ru would likely continue to suffer.
Su Chen's gaze was icy. Libra had suddenly disappeared in the Milky Way, most likely while pursuing Milky Way creatures and losing her way.
Initially, the System had informed him that Libra had entered a space-time chaotic zone, which he thought might be a peculiar place somewhere in the Milky Way. He hadn't considered that Libra had actually traveled back in time.
Su Chen took a deep breath and asked the System, "Is there any way to bring Libra back?"
"With Libra's current situation, ordinary means won't bring her back here. There's only one thing that can work."
"What is it?"
"A time machine."
Su Chen's mouth twitched. Was the System kidding him?
He was looking for Libra, and it suggested a time machine. Could it be that Libra had really time-traveled? Why else would the System mention a time machine?
Suddenly, Su Chen's expression froze. He thought of a possibility. Could it be that Libra had actually time-traveled? Otherwise, why would the System mention a time machine?
"System, why do we need a time machine?"
"Because Libra is not in this time frame. Only by using a time machine can she be brought back."
Su Chen covered his face. He had considered many possibilities, but he had never thought that Libra had time-traveled. This situation was completely unexpected.
"Even if we have a time machine, how can we locate Libra? It's useless."
"Based on the information Master currently possesses, the System believes that Libra is currently on Yan Yun Star. If Master uses a time machine, there's a possibility of bringing her back."
Su Chen's expression became distant. After System's explanation, he remembered something strange – the prophecies he had seen about Libra in the Yan Yun Star Underworld. Could it be that Libra's time travel had been destined all along?
The problem was, even if he knew that Libra was in the past Yan Yun Star, without a time machine, how could he bring her back?
"System can issue a specific task. After Master completes it, you will receive a one-time use time machine. Do you accept the task?"
"I accept."
To bring back Libra, he was willing to accept any task, no matter how challenging.
"Activate the specific task. The task requires Master to gain control of the Rota Empire within one year. Upon completion, the reward is a one-time use time machine, with no penalty for failure."
Su Chen felt the urgency of the situation. This task required him to gain control of an empire within a year, which was a daunting challenge.
"It's just one year's time; what's the big deal!"
Su Chen entered Yun Ru's room. Yun Ru was completely different from before, her face blank, sitting on the bed with her legs hugged to her chest. Leng Yuwei stood helplessly by her side.
"Yun Ru, do you want to save Libra?"
When she heard the name Libra, Yun Ru finally reacted. She slowly raised her head and looked at Su Chen.
"As long as we can control the Milky Way within a year, Libra can come back!"
"Is that true, Commander?" Yun Ru's voice trembled.
"When have I ever lied to you, Yun Ru? You and Leng Yuwei are both my right-hand men."
