As soon as he opened his eyes, Wan Jie felt an incomparably dazzling light.

He turned his head away and looked out the window.

In the center of the galaxy, a blazing white ball of light is emitting dazzling light.

The entire cabin was shone through the window, as if someone was holding a high-powered flashlight outside the window and shining it on themselves.

Wan Jie frowned slightly and closed the curtains.

At this time, he saw Ji Qianxing sitting on the sofa opposite the cabin.

"Finally... It's back. ”

The blonde girl sat on the sofa in a luxurious velvet dress of the past.

The girl's gaze looked at the familiar huge ball of light in the distance in a daze, and a trace of excitement flashed in her eyes.

For a month, she thought about her kingdom every day and every night.

Now, after navigating several hyperspace passages, she has finally reached the territory of the Empire.

Not only that, but she also carries the hope of the empire.

New colonized planets.

and the means to be able to travel freely within the star field!

[Found the tachyon communication signal, master, is it connected?] 】

[Imperial communications detected, Empress, please instruct.] 】

At this moment, two AI voices rang out in the cabin at the same time.

In addition to the male electronic voice pronounced by the duck mother, there is also another female electronic voice.

This is the AI motherboard that originally belonged to Ji Qianxing's scientific research ship, and its name is "Mi Nai".

"It looks like probes from within the empire have spotted our destroyers."

Ji Qianxing stood up suddenly, a touch of majesty appeared in his eyes, "Mi Nai, connect the communication." ”

[Understood.] 】

As Mi Nai's words sounded, the duck mother stayed aside very interestingly and did not speak.

The next second, another newly moved computer started to work.

A sharp voice suddenly appeared in the cabin.

"Alien ships, report your identity."

"You've been suspected of trespassing."

"Please stop your progress now!"

The voice sounded a little flustered, but it quickly turned into a sharp warning.

At the same time, many energy reaction fluctuations suddenly appeared on the detector.

Wan Jie unleashed his psionic energy and entered the void.

It turned out to be a medium-sized fleet, with about thirty frigates, five destroyers, and a few cruisers, judging by the energy response.

"I'm the Empress."

Seeing this, Ji Qianxing stood up unhurriedly, and the lotus step moved lightly and came to the front of the computer.

The girl's expression is indifferent, and her proud figure stands in front of the computer, giving people a condescending sense of oppression.

"Tell everyone I'm back!" She spoke lightly.

With this majestic proclamation being forwarded by Minai.

In the next second, the other party was extremely surprised.

"Empress?!"

"Didn't the Empress be pronounced dead a few months ago?!"

"The ships are not the same, no, who are you?!"

“？”

Hearing this, the expressions of the three people in the cabin changed.

Wan Jie glanced at Ji Qianxing, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

This good and dignified living person is still here, has there been news of the Empress's death within the empire?

"Bold!"

At this moment, Nina on the side suddenly stood up and said in an extremely angry tone, "The Empress is standing here, you dare to be disrespectful to the Empress!" ”

In the laws of the Immortal Empire, the empress represents the supreme authority.

Dare to casually say that the empress is dead, this is in the past, but it will be sentenced to a heavy sentence!

But at this moment, the other party did not mean to be frightened in the communication, but said very calmly.

"Despicable outsiders, your tricks are too childish, how can a single ship come to this place?!"

"The Empress's ship reaction disappeared months ago, and a solemn funeral was held within the Empire."

"Could it be that you are the 'Noah' of the artificial intelligence civilization?!"

By the end of the communication, the other party's tone had already begun to show panic.

Obviously, his reaction was the same as when Ji Qianxing first saw Wan Jie's destroyer.

At the level of an ordinary civilization ship, it is impossible for a single ship to cross the star system with many psionic entities and go deep into the interior of this exiled star field.

And outsiders cannot directly know the language of their immortal empire.

Then there is only one remaining possibility.

That is, in the past, under the same culture as them, the AI civilization called 'Noah' has crossed the defense line of psionic entities!

Buzz——!

Buzz——!

At this moment, an alarm sounded inside the destroyer.

[A large number of high-energy reactions have been detected ahead.] Good brother, don't you hurry up and explain? The other side seems to be in a hurry. 】

Mother Duck's voice began to report.

In the stellar gravity well, a large number of ships moored on the stellar star harbor began to start.

At one time, dozens of targets appeared on the gravity sensor!

A sense of crisis locked by something terrible suddenly surged into Wan Jie's heart.

Wan Jie's expression sank, but at this moment, without waiting for him to speak, Ji Qianxing was the first to stand up.

"Turn on the camera and transmit the picture data to all the ships on the opposite side." The blonde girl said calmly.

[Yes, Her Majesty. 】

Mina replied calmly and began to execute the order.

In the next second, with the transmission of the picture, the high-energy reaction from the ships in the distance suddenly disappeared.

"Calm down, I'm here, won't ten years pass, your voice, my appearance, you won't recognize me, right?"

Ji Qianxing stood in front of the computer, looking directly at the camera,

In his eyes, there was not the slightest anger, but an expected look.

Ten years ago, the moment he was forced to step on the scientific research ship in desperation, Ji Qianxing already knew the inside of the empire, and many people were already ready to move.

After all, at that time, in addition to her, there were other scientists who were enough to take on the task of exploration, and the situation did not reach the point where she, the empress, had to go out to explore.

However, in order to consolidate the hearts of the people at that time, and to grasp the absolute success of the task, Ji Qianxing still obeyed the vote of the Imperial Council, and resolutely left this star field with his scientific research team.

After sending out her distress signal for a month and no one responded, she already knew in her heart the current attitude of the Imperial Council towards her.

So, now that she is back, she is already ready to face the unexpected.

Soon, there were many responses on the computer.

"It's really the Empress!"

"Even after ten years, I will never forget this face!"

"The Empress... Your Majesty, you really aren't dead, and sure enough, those councils are talking nonsense!"

"Sensui-sama, you're still alive... That's great!"

A lot of communication converged at this moment, and Minai did not intercept the questions very tacitly, but let them echo in this cabin.

At this moment, many figures suddenly appeared on the screen in front of Ji Qianxing.

These people were all commanders from various ships, and one of them was an old man in a black military uniform with three black stars on his shoulder, who was looking at Ji Qianxing's figure with tears in his eyes.

Although the people arranged by the star base do not have to go through the hands of her, the empress.

However, in the Immortal Empire, the commanders on these ships are all Ji Qianxing's henchmen.

Many of them are descendants of the followers of the previous empress Ji Xuanyuan.
