He's a minor cannon fodder character who transmigrates into a novel and cultivates immortality,

After Holland left, Xiao Xuan turned to look at Hawthorne and Hoggezi, "Second Uncle, Gezi, I'm leaving for a bit."

Hawthorne instinctively refused, saying, "No."

"Big brother is very capable, don't worry," Hogezi quickly reassured him.

Xiao Xuan smiled faintly and shook his head slightly.

He spoke up only to inform the two of them, without seeking their consent.

Xiao Xuan nodded to Huo Sang and Huo Gezhi, then stepped into the space-time teleportation channel behind him.

Hawthorne: "..."

Hoggia: "..."

"As expected of Lant's soul beast, its unwavering nature is exactly the same as Lant's."

"He seems like such a well-behaved child most of the time, so why does he become so disobedient at crucial moments?" Hawthorne said, half sighing and half helplessly.

Hogezi: "Father, should we send a message to my eldest brother to inform him of this?"

Hawthorne: "..."

After hesitating for a long time, Hawthorne gritted his teeth and said, "Let's keep it a secret for now."

“There must be a reason why Lant didn’t take us with him this time. We can’t let Lant have any worries.”

"Xiao Xuan probably meant the same thing, otherwise he wouldn't have waited until Lant left before setting off."

"He must have his reasons for not telling Lant. We can't help them, so let's not cause them any trouble."

Hoggia: "..."

What did his father mean by that?

They made it sound like Hoggin was some kind of dragging things down and causing trouble.

That's absolutely heartbreaking.

"Let's go back, what are you standing there for?" Hawthorne patted Hoggia's shoulder and muttered.

"Gezi, do you think we should go out for a trip after Lant brings the starship back?"

Hoggia: "Didn't you say you'd never go out again?"

Hawthorne was speechless upon hearing this. "Isn't it rather boring that there are only a few of us on Flowing Cloud Star?"

"Besides, if we bring more people back, we can expand our orchard and vegetable garden."

Hogezi: "We can't finish it all."

Hawthorne: "Can't it be sold?"

Hoggia: "You need interstellar currency?"

Hawthorne: "..."

“This son is no longer a good son; he wants to beat him.”

Seeing that his father was about to get angry, Huo Gezhi quickly softened his stance, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

"I'll go after my brother comes back and bring back a starship for you to be your underling."

"You brat!" Hawthorne couldn't help but laugh and scold as he watched Hoggzi's retreating figure.

Three days later, Xiao Xuan emerged from the time tunnel and appeared on a planet that was essentially an ice field.

冰星

Inside a cave at the foot of a snow-capped mountain.

A haggard-looking middle-aged man rubbed his temples. "Lieutenant Du, how long can the nutrients in the spatial zipper last?"

Du Yang: "Reporting to the Marshal, we can hold out for at most another month."

Upon hearing this, a fleeting look of guilt crossed Huo Yu's eyes: "Deputy Officer Du, you've worked hard all these years."

Du Yang: "Marshal."

Huo Yu: "Deputy Commander Du, I want to go to 'Purgatory' again tonight. If I'm not back by dawn tomorrow morning..."

"Don't wait for me, and don't risk coming to me. Find a way to leave."

"Take this news back to the Empire."

"Yes, Marshal," Du Yang replied solemnly.

Even though he knew in his heart that with the quantum computer destroyed and food and energy running out, he wouldn't be able to survive until he left the Ice Star.

Unable to complete the marshal's mission.

However, to put the marshal at ease, he would not give up trying as long as he had a breath left.

Because there are thousands of his brothers who have shared life and death with him for many years, living a life worse than death in the "purgatory" of the "Curse" organization.
