When Qiao Hongyu woke up early in the morning, she felt that Gu Shun was in a surprisingly good spirit today.

After breakfast, Gu Shun said to Qiao Hongyu: "Call everyone here, let's go to visit grandma's grave together. I haven't seen her for years."

Many of the subordinates who started their business with Gu Shun from the city have passed away.

Although everyone's legs and feet were not as good as before, he still came to him with a staggering pace when he heard Gu Shun's summoning.

Xiaopeng was paralyzed from the lower body due to illness a few years ago and could not stand up completely. Gu Shun told him that he could recuperate at home and not have to attend the event.

But Xiaopeng still insisted on coming. He felt that his health was getting worse day by day, and there were few opportunities to see Gu Shun.

"His Majesty"

"His Majesty"

Gu Shun waved his hand, "Forget it, forgot, I've been calling for so many years, and it's time to change his words. There is no distinction between a monarch and a minister today. We are all a family. Let's go see grandma together."

"Yes," everyone nodded in response very old, with tears in their eyes.

A bunch of old people with candles and dews, hunched shoulders and backs, were wearing plain clothes, walking with crutches, or being supported by others, stumbled to the cemetery of Maita City.

After many expansions, the scale of the cemetery is no longer the same as before.

Coincidentally, this cemetery was once a landfill in the Lower City. Gu Shun was born here more than 70 years ago.

At the entrance of the cemetery, several children holding models of spacecraft were playing and chasing them.

The children don’t know what kind of prominent identities these passing old people are in the empire.

These old people were already working in the city at their age with Gu Shun.

Qiao Hongyu supported Gu Shun, and the two of them walked through half a century of ups and downs, and their love was just as before.

When they arrived at grandma's grave, everyone worshiped, Gu Shunping stepped back and sat alone in front of grandma's grave. He used his brown spots to fold a paper flower for grandma and hung it in front of the tombstone.

In front of him, the Sims prompts appeared again:

[At the age of 77, your body has gone out of oil due to overwork. Your life is about to end, and the simulation is about to end]

[Please say goodbye to the caring human beings, there is not much time left for you]

"It seems that I really can't hold on this time." Gu Shun murmured in a low voice, as if saying it for himself or grandma.

"Grandma, this may be the last time my grandson has come to see you. If you miss your grandson, just look at this paper flower."

In the distance, Qiao Hongyu looked at Gu Shun, who was sitting in front of the grave, and unconsciously recalled the boy who cried alone on a rainy night in his mind many years ago.

That time, Qiao Hongyu felt that Gu Shun was really a child.

And this time, she realized that before she knew it, the omnipotent husband was really old.

She quietly wiped the hot tears at the corners of her eyes with her wrinkled hands. She had to be stronger for the rest of her life, but when she saw this scene, she was still very sad and her tears couldn't help falling.

After leaving the cemetery, Gu Shun asked Qiao Hongyu to support him and wandered around the already earth-shaking Lower City.

They came to a park on the corner of the street, and Gu Shun pointed to a sculpture and recalled:

"This place used to be full of houses built in containers. Grandma and I lived here at the beginning. Although the days were miserable at that time, I still felt full of emotion when I think about it."

Xiaopeng sat in a wheelchair and recalled: "Yes, I still remember that I accompanied His Majesty here to accompany him, and grandma pointed everywhere and told His Majesty about the past..."

As he spoke, Xiaopeng could no longer speak, leaving only a more swallowing cry.

The hero is still remembering the past, probably this is the feeling.

Gu Shun suddenly lowered his head and saw a tender green seedling shaking leaves in the grass in front of the statue, as if calling to an old friend.

[Potatoes, unimproved varieties, extremely low yield, identified as garbage]

The scavenger talent was activated again, giving the name and attributes of the plant.

Gu Feng

After countless generations of improvement by imperial agronomists, potatoes have long been different from the varieties grown by Gu Shun.

However, the plant in front of Gu Shun is an original variety.

In the hearts of the inhabitants of the Maita Empire, potatoes are closely related to the rise of this country.

That young man who came down from the city rose up in the dark and created legend after legend. In these familiar stories of every empire, you can always see potatoes.

Seeing Gu Shun staring at the potato for a long time, Qiao Hongyu bent down and said, "Why take it back and plant it at home."

"No need, let it grow here. I didn't expect to see potatoes here, which is a perfection." Gu Shun stood up straight, as if saying goodbye to his old friend.

The group of people wandered around the Xiacheng District and Shangcheng District again before taking a bus back to the villa.

On the way back to the villa, Gu Shun leaned in Qiao Hongyu's arms and said exhausted:

"When I die, send my ashes to space, I will turn into stardust and watch over the Maita Empire and countless brave explorers."

Qiao Hongyu gently patted Gu Shun's back with her hands, "Then I will go to space after I die, and we will definitely be able to reunite in the universe in the future."

Gu Shun held Qiao Hongyu's hand and said, "Hongyu, thank you for your hard work over the years, it's great to have you with you.

After I die, you must guard the Maita Empire and cannot accompany you anymore. I'm sorry."

"What nonsense? You are only in your seventies this year, and you will definitely be able to live a hundred years old. We still have a lot of days." Qiao Hongyu said hurriedly.

But she waited for a long time but didn't wait for Gu Shun's reply. Gu Shun seemed to be lying in her arms and fell asleep.

Qiao Hongyu felt something was wrong. She hurriedly tried Gu Shun's breath with her other hand, and Gu Shun had stopped breathing.

Qiao Hongyu couldn't believe it was true, "Gu Shun, Gu Shun, wake up, don't scare me, I know this is not true, you must be lying to me, right? You won't die. If you assassinate so many times, how could you die..."

Her voice gradually changed from begging to heart-wrenching crying. She hoped Gu Shun could open her eyes and tell her that this was just what he pretended, just his plan, just tired, just...

Gu Shun, who had devoted his life to the Maita Empire, closed his eyes forever.

When the news reached the Prime Minister's Mansion of Maita Empire, all the imperial officials were stunned in disbelief, and many people collapsed and cried bitterly.

In the end, the Prime Minister of the Empire announced the obituary of Gu Shun's death with an extremely painful mood.

When people from the entire Maita Empire and countless space bases in the universe heard the bad news, they instantly felt that the sky had collapsed.

The largest state funeral ever held in Maita City, the capital of the Maita Empire.

In this place where history is frequently created, tens of millions of people came from all over the empire, just to offer a wreath of mourning and white chrysanthemums to their monarch, and to look at him for the last glance.

Wreaths of various colors and elegy couplets were stacked layer by layer, filling the entire mourning square.

Among the people who offer flowers, there are old people with gray hair, young people who are determined to be young, and young children who learn to speak.

People of different ages and backgrounds are here just to commemorate and mourn their emperors.

Heart-wrenching howling sounds resounded from the square throughout the empire, and countless flowers and elegiac couplets were placed next to Gu Shun's statues everywhere in the empire.

Today's sky is spotless and the sun is particularly bright. Gu Shun's huge rays shine brightly in the sun. This person who seems to be from the sun finally leaves with the sun.

All the astronauts of Infinite Exploration and Natural Selection, heading towards the boundless universe, looked in tears, saluted in the direction they came from, and expressed their highest respect and memorial to Gu Shun with the highest etiquette.

In front of grandma's grave, paper flowers swayed in the wind. The wind seemed to turn into grandma's hand, fiddling with paper flowers, and Gu Shun's tender giggle faintly came.

Ten days later, according to Gu Shun's will, Qiao Hongyu and Gu Shun's three children placed a container filled with Gu Shun's ashes on a spaceship that would never return under the gaze of countless red and swollen circles.

Xiaopeng's ashes were also placed on them. He fulfilled his original promise and was with Gu Shun forever.

Accompanied by the fire, the spaceship rose into the air, carrying Gu Shun's expectations for the exploration of the universe and encouragement for all brave people, and never returned.

Gu Shun opened the era of interstellar navigation. Behind him, countless latecomers will follow his footsteps and keep moving forward.
