Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Sitting opposite the sofa, the white-haired old man was the current Chief Commander of Star City Military.

This was not the first time Feng Qi had seen him.

There was an essay in the history textbook called “Light of the Dead Star.”

It was about the experience of the old man in front of him when he created the Death Star combat team when he was young.

Feng Qi had also heard about his identity from the head of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.

His name was Li Huanian, and he had graduated from the Victory Academy’s commander major.

During his time in the academy, he had displayed outstanding command talent. He had led his commander class to win the commander’s martial arts competition jointly organized by the various academies four times and received the Medal of Outstanding Contribution from the Alliance Military.

He was publicly acknowledged as the strongest commanding freshman in Victory Academy at that time.

After graduation, Li Huanian opted to join the Red Lotus Combat Team, responding to both the military’s invitation and an opportunity to be part of one of the top 10 combat teams at the time. He embarked on a frontline career that spanned over 20 years.

During this period, Li Huanian’s performance was outstanding and he quickly advanced in the Red Lotus Combat Team.

In just three years, he became the deputy commander of the Red Lotus Number

5 Combat Team.

In many joint operations, he relied on outstanding command to perfectly complete the mission of exploring and attacking the domain fields.

In his seventh year on the front line, Li Huanian chose to leave the Red Lotus Combat Team and established the Dead Star Combat Team.

That was what Feng Qi had seen in history textbooks when he was studying.

Feng Qi was not unfamiliar with this combat team.

In the previous timeline, “Wang Yi”, who was parasitized by the owner of the fog, was the commander of the Death Star Number Three Combat Team.

The Death Star Combat Team was also successfully promoted to the top 10 combat teams under Li Huanian’s lead.

When he was 48 years old, Li Huanian handed over the position of the Chief Commander to the deputy commander at that time. Then, he chose to retire from the front line and return to Star City Military. He joined Star City Military and became a middle-ranking officer.

There were many speculations about why he did this.

Some said that Li Huanian’s dream was to become a commander of the military. His years on the front line were just to sharpen his commanding skills.

It was also said that Li Huanian had been fighting in the domain field all year round and had a serious illness. He could not continue to run around and could only choose to retire from the front line.

At this moment, the Star City Military sent an invitation to Li Huanian, hoping that he could join the headquarters and continue to contribute to the construction of the Star City Military.

At that time, Li Huanian agreed without hesitation.

No matter the reason why Li Huanian retired from the front line and joined the military, there was no doubt that Li Huanian’s life was filled with legends.

When he was 67 years old, he obtained 92% of the support votes of the military and became the current Chief Commander.

This was a warrior who had spent his life opening the way for the future of mankind.

Today, he was almost 80 years old.

Facing this legendary figure recorded in history textbooks, Feng Qi’s attitude was respectful.

However, when he heard Li Huanian ask him if the explosion at the Starlight Lake was related to him, he was stunned.

“It seems to be related to you.” A smile appeared on Li Huanian’s wrinkled face. “It does have something to do with us, but I want to know how you judged it.” Feng Qi did not deny it. Instead, he asked curiously.

No news of his contact with the higher-ups of the domain alliance was leaked.

The military’s investigation at the Starlight Lake did not make any progress. However, Li Huanian was stationed at the headquarters, so how could he have guessed the truth out of thin air? Feng Qi was quite perplexed.

Faced with the question, Li Huanian cast his gaze at Mu Qing.

“It’s because of her… Mu Qing!”

“You know my name?” Mu Qing, who had been sitting quietly at the side and listening to their conversation, suddenly asked in surprise.

“Of course, you’re one of the most dangerous people in Star City.”

Amid Feng Qi and Mu Qing’s doubts, Li Huanian quickly explained.

It turned out that Li Huanian had also understood the progress of the rune modification experiment.

He felt that if the rune modification experiment could succeed, he could mass-produce powerful warriors for the army.

At that time, he often went to the Scarlet Research Institute to understand the situation.

During this period, he had seen the young Mu Qing, who was following Wei Wei, many times.

He also learned from Wei Wei that Mu Qing would be the next challenger for the scarlet rune crystal.

However, at that time, Mu Qing was still young and did not have any memories of Li Huanian.

From Li Huanian’s explanation, Feng Qi also learned that his initial encounter with Mu Qing was not in the Scarlet Research Institute, but outside Star City.

At that time, a scavenger migration team was attacked by domain transcendent creatures on the main road outside Star City.

The Star City Military had made an emergency move.

At that time, Li Huanian, who had yet to become the Chief Commander, was fully in charge of this operation. He successfully rescued a large number of scavengers who had migrated and placed them in Star City, including Mu Qing’s family.

As for why he had a deep impression of Mu Qing…

It was because, at that time, Mu Qing’s parents were poisoned and could not move. They could only be carried back to Star City by the soldiers. Mu Qing, who was following by the side, cried the entire time. During this period, she fainted several times from crying. Every time she woke up, she would cry again.

Therefore, Li Huanian had a deep impression of her.

The next time they met was in the Scarlet Research Institute.

During that period, Mu Qing had grown a bit taller. She enjoyed tugging at the corner of Wei Wei’s clothes and trailing behind her, always with different kinds of food in her mouth.

At this point, Li Huanian paused for a moment before continuing..
