Sneer......

A giant battleship with a length of more than 20,000 meters, shuttling through the vast and boundless universe, powered by gray crystals, can easily cross millions of star systems in one jump, this is a battleship from the top ninth-level civilization, with the most advanced and powerful technology among all advanced civilizations.

However, there were only two people in this battleship that could carry millions of people.

Qin Yan stood in the main control room of the battleship, looking at the light curtain without focus, while Alice stood beside him, neither of them spoke.

Alice knew he was thinking, knowing that he was full of worry and anxiety, and she chose to remain silent with her understanding.

It's been five years.

Isn't it strange that the intelligence network of the Rainbow Hunters, which is more powerful than the Nine Great Empires, has not even the slightest bit of information?

If Qin Yan is looking for a person, the universe is indeed like looking for a needle in a haystack, but what he is looking for is a large group of people: from the time he came to the advanced civilization, he first joined the Tianqin Empire, and then became involved with the Tyrannosaurus Pirate Group and the Hank Empire, and he has made countless friends along the way.

Due to the threat from the ninth-level civilization of the Kamikaze Empire, all those who had friendly relations with him had to leave in order to avoid becoming targets of the Kamikaze Empire.

How many people are this?

How could such a large crowd not get any wind for five years after the threat of the demise of the kamikaze empire did not exist?

Once they learned that the threat of the destruction of the kamikaze empire had been eliminated, how could they not show their faces?

So......

With the intelligence network of the Rainbow Hunters, as long as these people show their heads slightly, there will be no news so far, so it is certain that something is going on.

Await?

No!

After hearing the news from Alice, Qin Yan couldn't wait any longer, he had to investigate in person, and time allowed.

For the first time, the nine empires joined forces to enter the axis of the universe, and more than 100 masters from the other eight countries were all killed, but because the axis of the universe could not communicate with the outside world, and each country only entered 15 people every year, the eight empires would not know that these elites had died until a year later.

So, even if you just learned the news here, you will immediately organize a second entry, and there will be a year in between, right?

However, from entering the Axis of the Universe to killing the masters of the Eight Kingdoms, and then to Qin Yan entering the 9th Degree Core Danger Zone, and finally returning to the empire with top-level scientific and technological materials, physical objects and massive resources, it only took about a month, so there were at least 11 months left.

What's more, even if the eight countries knew that the first operation failed, they had to get in touch again, and the nine empires would discuss countermeasures together, so it would be impossible to re-enter immediately without any gaps, right?

went to Rainbow Star to see Alice, and after getting this very bad news, Qin Yan did not return to the Heavenly Power Empire, but told Peony about the situation and left.

Peony, of course, will not stop him.

She was the only one in the entire Tianquan clan who knew Qin Yan who knew his true identity and all his past.

She knows all his past experiences, knows how much he cares about the people around him, and it is precisely because he is this kind of man who can give everything for his relatives and friends around him that she will always have a deep love for him, and she will have that strong sense of happiness when she is with him.

Because she knew very well that he was the same to himself.

If she encounters any danger, he will also risk his life to save her, just like those old friends who have lost contact with him, how can he ignore them?

Not only the friends he had made in the higher civilizations, but also through these people, he had to connect with his homeland - she couldn't stop him from giving up his homeland and his relatives.

Originally, Qin Yan planned to investigate alone.

After all, his past can't be known to the rest of the Tianquan Empire, even to the secret service team, the same team of comrades must be kept secret - even if he wants to find a helper, only Peony can participate in this matter in the Tianquan Empire, and she can't be away for a long time as the king of a country.

As a result, Alice volunteered to go with him, and her reasons could not be denied by Qin Yan - the first stop of the trip was the Lyra Empire, which was her hometown.

Of course, deep in her heart, she didn't have any feelings for the Lyra Empire at all, and she said this just to find a reason.

On the one hand, because she has not been in the Lyra Empire for a long time, on the other hand, the people closest to her have died in the Lyra Empire, under the dark and corrupt forces of the government.

There was Eller's intervention in the matter back then, although she was compensated in the follow-up processing, but this only allowed her not to hate the Lyra Empire, but she definitely couldn't love it, otherwise with her current power, status, and ability, how could she not give her motherland all kinds of benefits?

Her attitude towards the Lyra Empire is: Neither a friend nor an enemy, you take your sunshine path and I will cross my single-plank bridge, whether the Lyra Empire is prosperous or declining, it has nothing to do with her.

The battleship that the two of them took was not from the Tianquan Empire, but the warship of the Rainbow Hunter Group, and the reason why they took the battleship of Rainbow had two benefits.

One.

The appearance of the warships of the Tianquan Empire, the relative periphery of the Tianqin Empire, is easy to make people have bad associations.

Second.

One of the great benefits of being a hunter organization is that no one will cause trouble wherever you go.

To put it bluntly, the hunter organization is a killer, doing the business of taking money to kill people, and many individuals or forces have time to ask them to do things, and at the same time, there is no one who has the strength to provoke the hunter group that is willing to provoke the elusive and has a strong intelligence network, even if there is a hunter organization, there are very few conflicts between them.

Traveling long distances in the vast universe and encountering a pirate group is very likely, Qin Yan is naturally not afraid of pirates, but he doesn't want to waste time on these trivial matters.

Wherever the warships of the Rainbow passed, even the most powerful pirate regiments did not dare to rob, and no one thought that they could resist the assassination that would appear at any time.

The battleship stopped at a distance from the Lyra Empire, such a powerful battleship was too eye-catching, and the two of them switched to a very ordinary merchant ship.

Although the original threat of the Kamikaze Empire made the high-level officials of the Tianqin Empire, who had a relationship with Qin Yan at the beginning, have to flee the country en masse, it does not mean that the Tianqin Empire no longer exists.

Merely......

Of course, the top echelons of the empire led by Caesar have already left here, as the ruling class of the Qin Empire has all changed today.

Qin Yan changed his appearance again, and became the same as when he was in the Tianqin Empire, and his name was naturally the same as when he was in the Tianqin Empire.

On the way to tens of billions of light-years, warships are jumping in wormholes between galaxies, and the wormholes between galaxies are unguarded, and even the chance of encountering a living person is very small, but once you enter the interior of the galaxy, you will definitely encounter the army stationed in the wormhole to be checked.

As soon as the commercial ship completed a jump and entered a stellar wormhole in the territory of the Lyra Empire, the sound of a shouting order to stop the ship and inspect it was heard.

A large number of warships, warplanes, mechs, and military personnel are stationed around the wormholes of this star system, and any ship that enters it is to be thoroughly inspected to prevent hostile people from entering, to prevent things that pose a threat to the empire from being brought in—as every higher civilization does.

Squeak......

The hatch of the merchant ship opened, and Qin Yan and Alice walked out.

Alice is from the Tianqin clan, and Qin Yan is another face, and the two of them didn't attract attention when they first walked out of the cabin, but soon someone was eyeing Qin Yan.

Who is Qin Yan?

He was a man of the year in the Lyra Empire, and after Caesar's proposal was passed, he became the youngest marquis in the history of the empire, with the rank of five-star general, and was even enthroned as a fief, with a second-class family named after him.

He performed great feats in the Expeditionary Force, and his name spread throughout the Lyra Imperial Army, and the people of the Second Base of the Expeditionary Force idolized him.

Even, the younger generation of the empire has him as their goal!

Since he left the Tianqin Empire, although some years have passed, the people of the higher civilization have cultivated martial arts, and their lifespan is far longer than that of ordinary humans.

Therefore, although the years he has been away for a long time, they are not enough for people to completely forget about him.

"Are you...... Marquis of Qin Yan? General! Is it really you?! The officer in charge of guarding this wormhole looked at Qin Yan with excitement on his face.

"It's me." Qin Yan smiled slightly.

After so many years of absence, there are still people who remember, of course, it is a happy thing.

Moreover, the Tianqin Empire is the first country that Qin Yan left the earth and went to, he has been in this country for many years, and the closest group of brothers and friends also met in this country, so he has a special affinity for the Tianqin Empire.

It was as if it was his second home, making him feel at home, a feeling that did not exist in other countries, including the Celestial Empire.

"Wait a minute!"

The officer hurriedly turned on the personal communication device and said with excitement on his face: "I will contact the imperial capital, and the emperor will be very happy to hear that you are back!" ”

His trip is to investigate the whereabouts of his former friends, although it is certain that it is impossible to get a definite answer, but even a little clue is good, and the Lyra Empire is the first stop to find clues, if you can get the cooperation of the empire's high-level management, it is naturally a good thing.

What's more, he was originally a member of the Tianqin Empire before, although due to the leakage of his identity in the middle, Caesar designated him as a spy at his request, but it was all to deceive the enemy, and as the problem was solved later, Qin Yan's 'spy identity' was also rehabilitated by Caesar himself.

Hearing that the officer said that he wanted to contact the emperor, Qin Yan smiled and nodded, and simply waited here for news from the imperial capital.

Soon, the officer reported the situation to the imperial capital, and his face was full of excitement and admiration, and he invited Qin Yan to rest in the battleship not far away.

Qin Yan could see that not only the officer in charge of the wormhole, but also most of the people in this small army knew about his great achievements back then and worshipped himself as an idol.

I have to admit that it feels good to be adored.
