Wei Lanshan smiled, "You've already memorized a lot. Digest it first. I'll put this on a chip, and you can look at it slowly when we're safe."

What a curious child, she thought. This experimental subject is unexpectedly interesting.

Wei Lanshan felt that her escape with 99 would be a happy one.

99 said, "I can still memorize more. This world is so beautiful and so interesting."

Wei Lanshan replied, "Mm. This star domain is vast, magnificent, and full of danger."

99 knew that these dangers likely referred to the interstellar wars Wei Lanshan hadn't mentioned yet.

After a day of questions and answers, 99 rested by the window of the airship, gazing at the blackness outside, deep and still like a motionless ancient well.

Giant celestial bodies occasionally flashed before her eyes, as well as meteors that zipped past their airship.

Wu Yuan was an excellent pilot; he could instantly dodge incoming meteors. Because of this, 99 decided to no longer hold a prejudice against his cold demeanor!

99 looked at the boundless scenery outside the window, thinking about what Wei Lanshan had told her.

The space-time she was currently in was infinitely vast, so large that it contained many alliances and thousands of star systems, yet there was no mention of Earth, no term for the Sun, and no galaxy named the Milky Way.

When Wei Lanshan explained the structure of the Alliance, she listened carefully. There was no solar system, and no Milky Way.

She didn't know if it was because her home was too far away for its signal to reach, or if she and her home were in different universes.

There was no time for sadness; her origin was already lost.

99 sighed deeply in her heart.

From the moment she was born as an infant, that world had already become a thing of the past.

In this life, she would still have to go on alone.

Wei Lanshan had become her first teacher and her savior.

Although Wei Lanshan had kept her confined in the laboratory for four years, all to develop a drug formula to cure someone else, she was also able to come to this world because of her.

What kind of karma this was, 99 no longer wanted to delve into.

The important thing was that she was still alive, and alive and well. As for the suffering she endured during those four years, she would consider it the price of being reborn.

Wei Lanshan took 99, with Wu Yuan piloting the airship. They traveled rapidly through deep space for five days. To mislead Tang Yongyu and Ye Yunhan, the airship made numerous course changes.

During these five days, Wei Lanshan continuously imparted knowledge to 99. She knew her time with 99 wouldn't last long; she would leave after taking 99 to a safe place.

Therefore, she seized every opportunity to teach her, explaining various aspects of the Alliance.

After five days, the airship, having taken a long detour, landed at Wei Er, on Tianning Star.

They disembarked from the airship at the spaceport and took a hovercar to the ground.

99 had no idea what identity Wei Lanshan used to achieve a smooth landing.

Before disembarking, Wei Lanshan set a different destination for the airship's course and programmed it for automatic detonation.

This way, the airship would vanish without a trace before reaching its destination, buying them some buffer time.

99 stared in astonishment at Tianning Star's Wei Er. She already knew that Q68, where she was born, was merely an unnamed, unnumbered subordinate star in the Tianning Star System.

A moon of Tianning Star was this prosperous. Tianning Star itself ranked outside the top thousand in the Alliance, so 99 couldn't imagine what the Alliance stars would be like.

In this vast world, she would live here from now on.
