Ophelia Federation.
Central Star Realm.
Gun Star.
This is a habitable planet near the core area of the Star Realm, adjacent to the Divine Athena Star.
Its size is more than ten tis that of Blue Star in the Solar System of the past.
Half a month ago, it was still called Planet AF-9.
Now, however, it has a new na—Gun Star.
The lord of this planet is none other than Cao Fang.
And this planet was also the welcoming gift that Athena, on behalf of the Ophelia Clan, gave Cao Fang after bringing her here with the Athena fleet to the Central Star Realm.
This welcoming gift included but was not limited to—
Gun Star and three other attached habitable planets around it.
All the resources, subordinates, population, and even ard forces on Gun Star and the three planets.
Although according to Federation law, habitable planets in the Central Star Realm are not allowed to be equipped with private ard forces.
But...
As the makers of the rules, the Ophelia Clan clearly do not fall under this restriction.
The Gun Star Athena gifted Cao Fang is the sa.
Boom—
Rumble—!
Just like right now.
On the planetary orbits around Gun Star, several massive interstellar war fortresses could be seen roaring as they circled.
Near the fortresses, there were also Interstellar Fleets patrolling in an orderly fashion.
Besides that.
Trade spaceships from various rchant guilds hailing from other planets and even other Star Realms were constantly docking at or taking off from this planet.
Gun Star, Gunzhou City.
This is the most prosperous and also the largest city on the planet.
Its na likewise ca from Cao Fang’s naming.
At this mont.
In the center of Gunzhou City, within the residence of the planet’s highest Governor.
Cao Fang welcod a guest who was anything but unfamiliar.
"Auntie!"
The visitor had long golden hair and an air of noble divinity; it was the Federal Heiress, Athena.
"Xiao Ya."
Cao Fang spoke softly, a kind smile on her face.
This form of address, naturally, was sothing Athena had proposed herself.
After all, this was Yu Jin’s mother; if she still had her call her "Miss Athena" or even "Lady Athena" like everyone else, that would be far too presumptuous.
"Are you getting used to staying on this planet?"
"Is there anything you need?"
"Auntie, just say the word. As long as Xiao Ya can do it, I’ll have it arranged for you right away!"
Athena’s tone carried warmth, and also a hint of respect.
Such an attitude left the maids following behind her montarily stunned.
They knew this "Auntie" was no ordinary person and that she was related to that "Yu Jin."
But...
Their lady was the Federal Heiress!
Let alone ordinary people, she had never shown such warm enthusiasm even toward the scions or power holders of other great clans.
"No need, no need!"
"Everything here is very good, very good..."
Athena’s attitude made the smile on Cao Fang’s face all the more gentle and kind.
She waved her hand as she spoke.
Then.
Cao Fang finally asked the question she had been holding in for over half a month.
"Xiao Ya..."
"My son, Xiaojin, is there any news of him?"
To Cao Fang.
Gun Star, glory and wealth, status and position—none of that mattered.
The reason she had chosen to co with Athena to the High-Dinsional Federation in the first place was essentially to find Yu Jin, Yu Chen, and Old Yu’s family as soon as possible.
Over the past half month.
Cao Fang had experienced the lofty status of a "Planet Lord," and had also experienced a life of luxury.
But...
The more it was like this, the more she missed her husband and child.
"Auntie..."
Cao Fang’s question made the smile on Athena’s delicate face pause slightly.
"Still nothing..."
Athena answered softly, a trace of disappointnt in her tone.
In fact.
After bringing Cao Fang back, she had never stopped searching for Yu Jin’s whereabouts.
Especially—
After confirming that Yu Jin was very likely in the Low-dinsional Star System Wasteland Server.
Athena’s father, Arthur Ophelia, mobilized a considerable portion of the clan’s manpower and resources to form over a hundred Interstellar Fleets, deploying them to the Low-dinsional Star System Wasteland Server to search for Yu Jin’s trail within the server.
Compared to Athena’s previous lone search, the efficiency was improved a hundredfold.
But...
More than half a month passed.
The Ophelia Clan’s fleets had practically landed on half of the Star System Wasteland Servers, yet they still hadn’t found the slightest trace of Yu Jin.
In the residence.
After listening to Athena’s account, Cao Fang let out a soft sigh.
"It’s okay, it’s okay."
She said so, but the disappointnt on her face was impossible to hide.
On the other side.
Seeing this, Athena felt the pressure in her heart grow a little heavier for no reason.
She knew...
The Cosmic Genius War was about to begin, and there wasn’t much ti left.
Not long ago.
She had still been thrilled and excited to have found Yu Jin’s mother, Cao Fang.
But once her emotions cald, she belatedly realized—
This might not have any substantive effect.
Cao Fang’s existence might ensure that Yu Jin would one day inevitably co to the Federation Central Star Realm.
But...
If that so-called "one day" happened to be after the Cosmic Genius War had already begun, then it would be far, far too late.
"Xiao Ya."
"Auntie has sothing she’s actually been wanting to ask you for a while."
Cao Fang stayed silent for a long ti, then suddenly spoke.
At these words.
Athena was stunned. She first dismissed the maids to the side, then waved her hand, setting up an Energy Barrier within the residence to block any probing.
Only then did she look at Cao Fang, her expression earnest, and say:
"Auntie, please go ahead."
Hearing this, Cao Fang nodded, then said faintly:
"You told before..."
"You wanted to find Xiaojin because you hoped he could help you, and represent the Federation in the Cosmic Genius War?"
"Cosmic Genius War... that’s what it’s called, right?"
