Alliance 6 years, April 13 (Ai re-estimated date)

The Alliance fleet that travels without purpose, the flagship "Imperial Expedition"

Three years have passed.

For Zheng Qi, for the soldiers of the alliance, it was a long and helpless three years - they dispatched fleets to search for dozens of galaxies from different directions. They spent all their time on exploration and discovery, but the results were not satisfactory.

They were lost in the vast universe.

Just like a group of lonely ghosts, they were driving hundreds of warships, and they could only explore aimlessly in the vast void, searching one after another, disappointed again and again, and they were even numb by the process.

"Reported that there is a planet with life ahead."

This sentence is very familiar, and has been mentioned at least five or six times in Zheng Qi's memory.

But they did not give up their hope. When they discovered the planet, warships near other galaxies gathered together, and then with the flagship as the center point, the huge fleet began to operate. After rectification, the "Imperial Expedition" has a body that is nearly two thousand meters long, loaded with the technology of the Jedi, the technology of the Zerg, the technology of the wandering aliens, and those alien technologies that don't know their names.

A powerful cruiser, well-deserved Alliance flagship. It leads the fleet to the next stop, the next planet to be explored.

As usual, they fired detectors and then confirmed the surrounding environment. They were always ready for battle, provided that there was a racial conflict. However, they had encountered this situation. As before, they landed on the surface and established a base station to declare that it became the territory of the Empire. The Imperial Expeditionary Force was the first to occupy the place, but no one applauded them.

Zerg warriors, Tiger Regiment and more than 300 civilians who followed the army came out.

They stay here for a short time and supplement important things such as food and resources. Although many people rest in the low-temperature dormant compartment and their physiological age keeps them young, the years still leave marks on their clothes and the tools they carry.

This is another terrestrial planet. The environment and resources are average, but at least it can inhabit humans and the Zerg that is not picky about the environment. During the journey, the Zerg spreads the female laying eggs to every planet that can survive. The Queen gave Zheng Qi the title of "overlord", and the empire is truly in its name.

But this overlord is lonely.

He stood on the grassland of the planet, looking at the snow in the distant mountains and the dazzling redness in the sky, and the thin atmosphere made some humans unable to withstand the radiation of the star light during a certain period of time, but the plants here still thrived. An environment creates a kind of life.

"Maybe, this is the end of our journey." Zheng Qi said. He felt tired. Endless searches and disappointments seemed to be extremely slim for the colonies or the earth. He led so many people and carried so much hope, but he was every disappointment. He didn't know whether to continue or stop completely. But now, he had made up his mind.

"Did you really give up on finding?" He Ximei asked. She changed her armor, wore a casual skirt, and stepped on the soft grass barefoot. Compared with Zheng Qi, she was more open-minded and could be satisfied with being able to stay with her lover and friends.

"Is there any meaning to continue searching?" he asked, but asked himself again.

They walked through planets, living, living, living, and unable to survive... They all left their marks and set the direction for future navigation. But they did not stop because he could not find any familiar feeling.

The removal of Ianti's memory bank made their beacon disappear. The search for the home when they came really turned into a slim, even impossible thing. But after just being silent, he was unwilling to give up. He gained everything, but lost everything.

"This is a good place," said Zheng Qi, comforting himself. "We all can live until decades later, we all turn into bones, and humble lives will eventually disappear completely under the erosion of time, and become tiny dust in the universe that can be ignored at any time."

"They call me the Supreme God, but now it seems that I am just a poor, small creature. Eternity does not exist to me; God is even more a sarcasm."

"I will be with you." He Ximei hugged him and comforted him with gentle words, "Think in another direction. Nightingale, Song Yayu, boss, handsome guy... We will all stay together, and the queen will always accompany you until eternity. You are not lonely."

"Yes, there are you." Zheng Qi grabbed her hand, looked up at the sky, and whispered, "Fortunately you are still there!"

They finally decided to stay, and slowly consumed their lives on this beautiful planet. But is time really the last witness of the overlord? Perhaps as he said, he got everything, but when he died, he was still empty-handed and could not take a trace of it. In the end, he could only turn into dust between heaven and earth and into fertilizer for other life.

Song Yayu sat on the low slope, beside him was a wandering engineer. His tentacles grabbed a pen and handed it to her. She smiled at him, then lowered her head, and wrote in the draft of "From Man to God - Emperor Eungao": Our journey seems to have reached the end, and everything we are waiting for is always slim and disappointed. The overlord once said that this is an endless wandering, the earth and colonial stars are extremely far away for us. Yes, this is such a far distance, we have taken the interstellar footsteps, and we have conquered other civilizations. But only we cannot conquer ourselves! The footsteps of the empire have reached the end; the footsteps of God will also stop.

"It's the end?" Zheng Qi walked over and sat aside.

"Well, this is the end of the journey." Song Yayu nodded, "It's a pity that Brother Peter can't see all this, and no one else can see it."

"Did you miss your family?" Zheng Qi really felt sorry for her. If she hadn't brought her back, maybe she should have lived a free and happy life on the earth now, rather than staying in this world where people are inhabited and always cut off communication with the outside world.

She did not deny it. She missed her mother, her father... but since it was everything she chose, it was destined that she should bear all of this.

"At the same time, it also indicates loss." Song Yayu said, but she would not regret it, "Doesn't it? At least I cherish all this now. At least we are all still alive, and since we are alive, we can be happy."

Zheng Qi gently hugged her. She leaned against his chest. She liked to feel the heartbeat. This was different from the warmth brought to her by her parents. Although things were not perfect, she would not be picky.

He Ximei and the nightingale also came over, and they sat around. And further away, by the lake under the hillside, there were a group of active Zergs, soldiers taking off their armor, and floating engineers... They were barbecuing with the civilians, and some people were turning on the frozen beer and taking out their treasured inventory. There was never a lack of joy between them... The Zerg queen was slowly moving on the grass, and Zheng Qi felt that she was very happy and liked it very much. When she came to the lake, her claws touched the water surface, and ripples appeared.

She invited Zheng Qi to play with her. Zheng Qi waved his hand at her with a smile, saying that he is not a child now, but he will not play with her!

She smiled, although she couldn't see her expression, she did.

Zheng Qi also smiled, and he grabbed their hands together. He felt the warmth from the hands of different sizes. They leaned against each other, bathed in the sun, felt the peaceful and quiet scene in front of him, chatted about their yearning for the future, and told about their current wishes.

This is life, perhaps the best ending.

...

He ran in a dark underground, and the whole world seemed to be spinning. From time to time, there were noisy sounds and dazzling light swept through his eyes. Blood was oozing out of his right arm because it was scratched by a sharp stone, and his clothes were already wet.

He felt his breathing become rapid and his stomach was very uncomfortable. Everything around him was twisted. He couldn't see anything clearly, and the underground seemed to be endless. He couldn't walk out. His front, back, left and right were dead, circles, and he was always in circles.

He couldn't remember why he came here and when he came here. It seemed like it was a day ago? three days ago? Or hadn't been here before?

He was trapped here. He tried to contact others, but he had no communication tools on his body, and he called Ianti, and she did not respond. He stopped running, and the gravel under his feet made his bare feet hurt, and now it was bloody.

Why am I here?

He grabbed his head, and the memory seemed to have broken down here, and he could not recall anything familiar.

He felt dizzy. He sat down, closed his eyes, and tried to recall.

The surrounding environment changed again, familiar streets, dim street lights, pedestrians coming and going, pedestrians chasing buses, shouting: "Wait! Wait!". The scene was so familiar that he suddenly opened his eyes and found himself staying on the bed, with a narrow and hard bed board, the white T-shirt beside him emitted a smell of sweat, the old yellow bed board on his head, and the bed frame with silver paint sprayed with scarlet rust.

He turned his head and looked out. A fan was turning his head weakly, and making regular "da da da da" noise.

This damn fan, why didn’t the school mechanic come yet?

He thought to himself, overcoming the drowsy feeling, he got up from the bed. He sat beside the bed, rubbing his head, thinking that he had gone out to drink and play with his roommates last night, and he remembered nothing when he came back. He picked up his phone and saw that it was four o'clock the next afternoon.

He rubbed his eyes and walked to the bathroom with shaking steps. He brushed his teeth and washed his face, then looked in the mirror, with a messy head of hair that had not been cut for a long time, his beard was scattered, and his face turned yellow. It seemed that he had vomited last night, and when he thought of this, he suddenly felt a little hungry.

He took out his pocket and took out his wallet. There was still the last red ticket left in it. There was still half a month left. How should he survive? Could it be that he would eat instant noodles every day? It would be great if I was a rich man. He drove a sports car, took a foreign girl, teased the department flower and the school beauty. After getting on, he kicked her away and let all these wealth-worshiping women go to hell! Hahaha!

He couldn't help laughing, didn't I be quite rich before?

This happened to him.

"You used to be quite rich?" Wang Nan, wearing a pair of big shorts, walked in and took a glass of water. "Hehe... Is it quite rich when I dreamed last night?"

"Dream?" he said strangely, as if he didn't think it wasn't a dream.

"Not to say, your dreams were so interesting last night." Wang Nan said vaguely while rinsing his mouth, "We listened all night, such as cute little sister, wild female general, and the royal guard... In the end, you even had a world war, haha... I admire you, admire you, it's true that you are a military fan, your imagination is invincible!"

"There is still a paragraph behind!" Guo Shouren's voice came from the dormitory, "You guys fell asleep behind, and I continued to listen to some of them. He actually flew to space and encountered aliens. Hahaha... This is the most awesome. I recorded the audio and the power was out of stock in my mobile phone. It was definitely a classic. You can write novels!"

He shook his head and was still a little groggy. Could it be that he really had a dream he had drunk too much last night?

"No, you haven't woken up yet?" Wang Nan reached out and shook his hand in front of him, "It's time to wake up, just a little drink, what kind of heroes are you doing? You're making a fool of yourself. Last night, Guo Shouren planned to introduce you to a girl, but...oh, you've lost all the face of our dormitory!"

He thought about it and actually vomited a girl last night. Damn it! It was really embarrassing. Thinking of this, his face became hot. I really hope that the dream would continue. If I were a general, it would be great, at least much better than the poor students now.

He walked out, and there was a strange smell of smoke in the dormitory that had been precipitated for a long time. It was really unbearable. He needed to go out for some breath now.

Like ordinary people, he has many fantasies about life, and these are often something he cannot realize in normal times. He fantasizes about a goddess, one day he will bow down under his jeans; he fantasizes about becoming a rich second generation and owning billions of property; he fantasizes about his extremely powerful force, and wherever he goes...

I opened my eyes again and it was time to wake up. This was the last day of college. The teacher on the stage was talking about some extracurricular topics in the big sip. It was nothing more than how smooth and awesome he had graduated from college. Then he used this group of students who were free in class as a counterexample and severely attacked them to forge his sense of pride.

This is reality. There is not so much hegemony, nor has it become a rampant overlord like I am in my dream!

After graduating from college, he entered society. He was in a monotonous life, with a miserable employee, and he received a pitiful salary every month. Then the first thing he did was to have a full meal. I guess he hadn't had a good meal for three days. The second was to pay off the money in the card. The only thing he could see was the only few red tickets left in his hand, and the hard days!

When I'm fine, I can only stay at home and surf the Internet and stare at the computer.

Maybe you should write down what you dream about?

He thought, and then he created a character, an ordinary but destined extraordinary character, and gave him a name, Zhang San. But when the name was too ugly, he simply used his own name. No one knew anyone else. The names of other characters... After taking a keyboard, he would use his friend's name. Well, that guy Wang Nan is good, give him a character to play with, and Guo Shouren is also fine.

Life goes on like this, a life that is even more ordinary.

Sometimes he really feels lonely. He looks forward to that dream, the days that lasted in the dream for several years, and he missed those characters who could not be named in the dream. Although he was still lonely in the dream in the end, at least things still had a beginning and an end.

Slowly! He suddenly raised his head from the keyboard and took out his ID card from his wallet. Judging from his age, he was almost thirty. Although he was still full of charm, things seemed to be a little strange. He is still alone now? It is hard to imagine how the mother at home would deal with him.

But when he studied it carefully, he felt something was wrong. There were too many similarities in his dream and his world. More importantly, his concept of life here seemed to have been generally passed, and many details could not be recalled at all. Instead, the world in his dream, what he did, the strategies he used were so clear.

What's going on?

He took out the place in his head where he had the first memory and then compared it with the dream. Scenes flashed by, and the scenes of the two worlds continued to overlap and gathered. The frequency of his brain worked beyond imagination, and every scene was handled carefully by him.

He seemed to hear the sound of shattering, as if some change could not keep up with the frequency of his changing thinking.

He wondered why he was so fast.

But the next moment, he suddenly stood up, his face full of incredibleness, because his thinking did exceed the speed of the scene in his memory. Although it was only a few milliseconds, he felt it. This proved that he had undergone brain surgery and had the same thinking pattern as the Zerg Queen.

All of this is fake!

From the beginning of his recognition of the falsehood, the outside world finally collapsed. He turned his head and saw the disappearing buildings outside, and was stunned. Then a sense came to his mind, a sense that almost made him scream - the Zerg Queen was calling him, she was trying hard to find him, but she didn't know where he was.

He shouted, but did not respond.

He ran to the roof, faced the whole world, and shouted.

She heard it and told him that if he wanted to leave, he had to die.

Death is always fearful, but he does it one by one. It is absolute trust.

He walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked at the world where he had lived for almost seven years, the overlapping memories and the feelings he had developed, but he knew that all this was fake, all these years were fake, and this was not his destination. He jumped down and he was the real overlord.

But he is still the lonely overlord.

He opened his eyes and saw everything familiar in front of him, and those who cared about him - He Ximei, Song Yayu, Nightingale, handsome boss, etc., all surrounded him and looked at him with concern. The queen in the distance also gave him a sense of blessing.

This is probably the real world.
