The formation of the Tantalus Asteroid Belt in Itong undoubtedly originated from a huge intraplanet that was torn apart by the gravitational pull of stars billions of years ago due to its low density and massive mass, resulting in a large number of bursts of debris crushing and colliding with each other within the galaxy. This led directly to the birth of the sister planets of Falkus and Kratos, while the remaining remnants continued to spread and split, and were captured by the star Huras before escaping the galaxy, thus becoming what it is today.

Unlike the asteroid belts of other galaxies, these meteorites are sometimes sparsely arranged, sometimes fine, less than fifteen light hours deep at their thickest point, but they are so close to each other that they appear to be extremely long, they are relatively evenly distributed at the outermost edge of the system, and almost the entire star is circled.

Under the influence of the Tolstein effect, the state of the Tantalus asteroid belt has always remained stable, and the stellar gravity can only pull a very small number of meteorites back into the inner circle orbit, which is not enough to have a significant impact on the feathering of Forkus. In these huge numbers of asteroids and the other two planets, the mineral resources that can be used are extremely scarce, so the Geological Survey Bureau of the Colonial Administration has added the Itong series to the list of "extremely resource-poor" galaxies many years ago. The Chase government recognises the fundamental reasons for the federation and independence.

As a migration camp for hundreds of years, the Tantalus asteroid belt hides an unknown number of hidden settlements dug by successive generations of boat people, digging large meteorites into hollow spaces, and then enclosing the space with artificial force fields, its living environment is extremely harsh, and there have been countless accidents and man-made tragedies over the years, so in addition to the influence of the possible strategic terrain, we still do not fully understand why the boat people chose this place as a resting place for long-distance migration......

……

Her heart fluctuated, her outward appearance showed no emotion, her arms swinging endlessly at her sides, reminding her of the pendulum clock in her cabin when she was a child, the ticking of which warned of the passage of time, followed by an undisturbing roar at the hour.

Wow~

Wow~

The bells of the past echoed in her heart.

Wow~

Her feet were fast, her gestures staggering to match the rhythm of the auditory hallucination.

On this damn long, transparent corridor, as when she left resolutely, Ying Fengxiao took a big stride and moved forward quickly.

The starry sky above was still brilliant, but the metal plates under his feet rattled, and the arched transparent quartz shield had taken on a faint yellow hue from disrepair. After years of smoky fire, the once admirable 'Rainbow Bridge' of Tantalus has lost its former charm, and is as ordinary as the portholes of smokers' boats, and like many increasingly obsolete dwelling ships, it is still alive under the haze of lack of materials and poor maintenance.

In this corner that has been almost forgotten by the world, those dreams full of beauty once supported the survival of the ancestors; Living for nothing, like a rat in a desperate situation but deceiving himself.

'Boat people', once a term for human beings with freedom and faith, is now almost synonymous with smokers, garbage guys, half-dead, and walking dead.

Breaking the shackles of her ancestors, completely changing and reversing her fate, she had witnessed her mother and two brothers' home ship become a grave in a vacuum due to a gas leak, and she had also read the fate of the boat people from the numb faces at the funeral.

She made a vow in her lonely weeping, and every day after that she marched towards the goal in her heart, and in order to exercise her mind and knowledge, she begged her father to allow her to marry the respected 'wise man' Colin. The reed warbler learns.

Aware of Ying Fengxiao's intelligence and intentions, Lu Ying is determined to assist the next generation of boat queens, and he will pass on all the knowledge he has at his disposal, including some excerpts from the history of the previous generation from the starship, without reservation.

She was guarded by her father because of her growing reputation, and reluctantly ordered her to build her own branch under the huge clamor of the people at the bottom, and took a small group of supporters away from Tantalus, which can be regarded as solving a problem of the king of boat people.

Regardless of the past ten years, Tantalus seems to have forgotten her by the gradual development and growth of this branch, and today, her father Ying Jiake has sent the warriors of the Guan Gong Temple to 'invite' her back to the palace of kings, nominally for the death of her mother and two brothers, but in fact he personally wants to hold her accountable. Ying Fengxiao understands that this is an internal trial about destroying the traditions of the boat people, violating the ancestral teachings, and hijacking the Yinmeng luxury cruise ship without the main line of the clan.

Outside the corridor, the starry sky is extremely clear, but the ubiquitous black curtain appears slightly yellowed under the reflection of the stellar light, and outside the transparent corridor, countless giant meteorites of various sizes show a thousand strange shapes, they are suspended in the air, but completely still, like an exotic fairyland that breaks all the laws of mechanics, and it seems to be an illusory and real oil painting.

The top secret location, the hidden location, where they are is a major gathering place hidden in the asteroid belt by the Homecoming Sect, far away from the earthy yellow Falkus planet, the array composed of huge meteorite dense forests is like a labyrinth, providing a natural defense for the deepest part of the star belt, without the extremely detailed star map and the navigation of the boatmen who are familiar with the route, ordinary ships may never be able to find the true location of the Homecoming Base.

Ten adjacent mountain-sized boulders are hollowed out and connected by a nine-curved rainbow bridge, in which all the boat people of the main line of the tribe live. The huge space inside the monolith can accommodate a large number of people, at the peak of the Returnees' population, Tantalus's multiple settlements totaled 3 million people, a hundred years ago this number plummeted to half, and now excluding the two branches of Ying Jiabin and Win Fengxiao, there are less than 500,000 people left in the main lineage of the Returnees.

"If you want to avoid this human tragedy, it's not too late, and you should understand that taking out these few unpopular diners is a piece of cake for me." As Ying Fengxiao strode forward, no matter how fast the other party walked, the tall Han Sanzu could keep up, he scraped the newly grown stubble with his fingers, and made suggestions softly, but the corner of his eye glanced at the four Guan Gong Ancestral Hall martial artists not far behind him.

"You don't talk nonsense." Ying Fengxiao told him coldly.

"It seems that you can't hide this time, your father hates you for breaking the ancestral teachings, and you want to follow them, for the sake of the leadership of the clan's main line, which has long been worthless......" Han Sanzu snorted as if sighing. If I had a big-picture mind, I'm afraid you would think that you were deliberately trying to get things to this point from the beginning. ”

Han Sanzu's words seemed to cause dissatisfaction with the object of his allegiance, and Ying Fengxiao's pace suddenly slowed down, glancing at him out of the corner of his eye, which made the other party hurriedly raise his hands.

"So what I'm saying is that if a martial artist will only fight with strength, the master asked me to go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot, and I will go back, but I must dismantle the knife and pour out the boiling oil...... That's all my cleverness. Han Sanjiao explained.

"Say a lot of things and do less, your toy sea life has made you weak now, let's save your effort, three-legged, if you don't care about your mouth, I'll let the spoon chicken sew it for you." Ying Fengxiao pointed to the ugly-faced woman beside Han Sanzu, and her personal attendant showed an untidy mouth of molars.

"Willing to help, Phoenix Chick." Her eyebrows were squeezed together, and she smiled intimidatingly at Han Sanjiao.

The superficial openness can't hide the turmoil in the heart, maybe as this kid said, a reckless return is indeed a not very clever idea, but if you openly disobey the main line of the clan at this extremely critical time, all this plot will be overshadowed by this.

Thinking of this, Ying Fengxiao frowned and walked forward again, but Han Sanzu caught up with her a second later.

"I've always been like this, it's not that you don't know, if you do too much, you won't move, if you say less, you'll stutter, that unlucky fake sea hasn't changed anything, it's you who really change these days, Feng Xiao." Han Sanzu tried to remind Ying Fengxiao, but before he could say the next admonition, he was silenced by the other party's words.

"Oh? Really? "Win the phoenix." And what is that kid you let go? Suddenly turned sexually compassionate? Or maybe it's an inexplicable discovery of conscience? As the former chief of the Guan Gong Ancestral Hall, I thought you hated these things that showed weakness the most. ”

"It's just another stupid guy with a bit of ability." Seeing that Han Sanzu was no longer silent, Spoon Chicken couldn't help but proudly help Win Feng Chick on the side, but the latter didn't seem to encourage her actions, she ignored Spoon Chicken, and continued: "I really don't know what you were thinking at the time, you don't understand how important that child is to us at all." ”

"I don't need to understand." Han Sanzu told her. "And if I had to do it again, I don't think there would be another answer."

"Yes, unrestrained, imaginative, blindly causing trouble and making trouble, never intending to be restrained in any way, you think you are a real boat people, and in your eyes everyone else is nothing more than a wretched creature who obeys orders." Although she had always known the temper of this subordinate, Han Sanzu's answer still made her angry.

"I don't know why I want you to come along." She concluded.
