The empty white clouds rolled in, and suddenly, the clear sky echoed with the sound of thunder, yet not a single raindrop fell. The update came quickly. People were startled by the sudden change in weather, and those who were curious rushed outside to see what was happening.
In a certain place, a ragged figure laughed loudly, "Hahaha, we did it! We really did it!"
"My lord, they will never find us now," an excited companion said beside him.
"Yes, Shadow Leader, we can recreate the six Shadow Mech Soldiers that were destroyed during the crossing process in due time," Nai replied to Shadow Leader. Shadow Leader nodded in agreement but remained silent.
"You all should change your appearance to look human; don’t expose yourselves," Nai instructed. Shortly after his words, the Shadow Legion transformed into human forms.
"Let’s go and familiarize ourselves with this place," Nai said, and everyone followed closely behind. Suddenly, a loud voice came from around the corner, "If you want to leave, you’d better leave your money behind."
"Hmm?" Nai frowned but quickly relaxed as he saw the armed individuals stepping out from around the corner. He felt a rush of excitement; he had come to the right place. He signaled to Shadow Leader, who made a gesture, and the Shadow Legion charged out, leaving only afterimages behind. Before long, a group of fully armed men fell before Nai. Shadow Leader directly brought their heads before Nai.
"Are you looking for money?" Nai asked with a sinister smile.
"No, no! Please let me go!" the man hurriedly replied.
"What’s your name?"
"I... I’m Koru."
"Good. From now on, follow me. I will be your leader, and with me, you can have whatever you desire," Nai said, staring intently at Koru.
Koru was somewhat dazed, staring blankly at Nai. However, he was soon thrown far away by Shadow Leader. Nai ignored Koru and walked off in one direction. Watching Nai and his companions gradually disappear into the distance, Koru finally snapped back to reality and hurriedly called his subordinates to chase after them.
Koru had no idea what was happening today, but he still urged his men to follow. For some reason, he felt that what that person said was true.
"Markett the Sage, what about you?" Aitak asked when he noticed Markett had not spoken. At that moment, all eyes turned toward Markett—some were indifferent, some admiring, and others filled with anticipation...
"Ha ha, I've been researching time machines all these years, and now I think I can also improve this Time Reversal Device," Markett said, glancing at Sima Chuan.
"Great, that's wonderful!" Aitak exclaimed joyfully. However, he quickly changed the subject, "Markett the Sage, shouldn't you share the technological achievements you've hidden away all these years so we can take a good look at them?"
Markett shook his head helplessly. He knew Aitak was still thinking about his technological advancements. But considering it, he had completed what needed to be done, and it was time to return to a more ordinary life. "Alright, I'll organize the data in a few days and let you all take a good look. But remember to call that guy Sade over too."
"Sure."
"Absolutely."
"We'll be waiting."
...
Upon hearing Markett's response, the several Sages immediately broke into smiles.
"Okay, let's head back for now," Aitak interrupted their conversation and began to lead them back.
Before leaving, Aitak glanced back at the Time Reversal Device, his brow furrowing.
They returned to Starlight City, where the Mechanical Recycling Station was still under martial law. Not only that, but the entire planet had begun to bolster its military presence and increase vigilance. Mechanical Guards were everywhere, searching for Nai, Paswo, and any signs of the Shadow Legion. Meanwhile, Sima Chuan had also instructed the Noel Battleship to scan for these individuals to see if they could find anything.
After sending everyone off, Aitak and Markett returned to Star Maiden Palace with three others.
In the following days, Sima Chuan found himself surrounded by Luo Mengqi and two other women; it was impossible for him to enjoy himself. Aitak was busy handling various affairs of the planet and rarely came back. Markett went to the Mechanical Recycling Station to repair and improve the Time Reversal Device, while Qiong and Yiling followed Kathy and Aigasha around for leisure activities, essentially having nothing much to do.
After some time passed, everything gradually returned to normal. The election for the next Star Empress was underway, and everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion. However, the atmosphere in the Council Hall felt anything but ordinary; on the contrary, it was quite tense.
“Mechanical Guard Captain, report your situation,” Aitak said with a sigh.
“Yes, Star Master.” The Mechanical Guard Captain stood up. “We have searched the entire planet and found no trace of Nai.”
“Jessica,” the Mechanical Guard Captain sat down, and Aitak continued.
“Here, Star Master.” Jessica stood up. “We also found no trace of Nai.”
“Lalbin.”
“Here, Star Master.” Lalbin stood up, lowering his head. “We are the same.”
“Loki.”
“Here, Star Master.” Loki also stood up, looking helpless. “There are no developments.”
“Could it be that Nai really returned to the past?” An elderly man to Aitak's right furrowed his brow and asked.
No one answered. Aitak then called out another name—“Markett the Sage.”
“Here, Star Master.” Markett stood up seriously and presented some data collected while searching for the Time Reversal Device. “These are some findings we discovered while repairing and improving the Time Reversal Device. According to the information, it has indeed been used, and based on the amount of energy applied, we calculated that one person was sent through the Time Reversal Device.”
“So many?” The people present gasped in surprise, and Markett nodded earnestly.
“What we need now is to figure out how to resolve this situation,” Aitak said, tapping his head as he looked at everyone.
“Can we confirm what Nai answered about the past?” It was still the elderly man to Aitak's right who spoke.
Aitak nodded firmly and said, "It has been confirmed."
"Then let's discuss how to handle this," the elder on Aitak's left spoke.
Both elders were the highest Stewards of Planet DR-5. The elder on Aitak's right was primarily responsible for handling various major, urgent, and special events on DR-5, while the elder on Aitak's left was in charge of significant judicial matters.
"We could also send someone back to the past to find Nai," Jessica suggested without hesitation. The others present frowned at her words, but Jessica appeared unconcerned. "Regardless, Nai is too reckless. He must have returned to that chaotic period, intending to establish his empire there. I believe he can achieve that. If we hesitate, Star History will be rewritten from that moment."
Jessica's casual remarks were grounded in reality. If they wanted to put an end to Nai's madness, they first needed to locate him; otherwise, it would all be in vain.
After a moment of silence, Aitak finally spoke. "Then let's send someone back, but they must be in good health and take proper precautions during the journey."
"I'll go. I promise to catch Nai," Jessica volunteered eagerly.
"I should go instead; my body is mechanical, and it's easy to repair if damaged," the Mechanical Guard Captain also stood up.
"I'll go; this time I want to capture Nai completely," Lalbin expressed great confidence.
"No." Aitak suddenly stood up and shouted, "What do you all want? Are you looking to resign? Let me tell you, you absolutely cannot go. We will select the personnel for the journey. Everyone here needs to stay put and not think of excuses to leave." As soon as Aitak finished speaking, those who had wanted to volunteer fell silent.
