In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.

"Meow~" Ha Ge let out a miserable cry, and with a flash, he disappeared without a trace.

Ha Ge: Oh no, that stupid woman has gone crazy! I kindly helped her wash her face, and she stabbed me with an ice pick! Waaah, I'm so sad, I'm running away from home.

"Phew... Brother Ha, why are you running around like that? You scared me!" Hong Tang spoke weakly, feeling as if her throat was stuck with a razor blade, and she was also thirsty and hungry.

It was just a nightmare! It scared the hell out of me!

Oh dear, I just remembered, I forgot to eat dinner last night.

With a thought, a bottle of water appeared in my hand. I unscrewed the cap and gulped down a few mouthfuls before I felt a little better.

But why do I feel so weak? Could it be that I got heatstroke or heat exhaustion yesterday?

Hongtang was so frightened by her own words that she broke out in a cold sweat and quickly found some medicine to take.

[Host, you've finally woken up, tsk tsk~] My little sister's soft, sweet voice rang in my ears, her tone carrying a hint of excitement and a touch of grievance.

"Don't worry, little sister, I won't die. My heatstroke isn't serious. I just took some preventative medicine, so I'll be fine soon..." Hongtang thought her sister was worried about her, so she quickly explained.

My sister is so thoughtful, unlike my brother, who's practically invisible. But why do I feel even hungrier now that I'm talking?

Sister: Host, have you misunderstood something? You've been asleep for three days, and something very serious has happened during that time!

[Host, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear?]

"Hmm? Let's hear the good news first."

Hongtang didn't take it seriously and set out a table full of food, including sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried beef, dry-pot cauliflower, black chicken and yam soup, a bowl of rice, and a serving of fruit.

She wants to have a good meal!

[Host, you have now fully integrated with the space energy stone. You may be able to unlock new space-related skills.]

Hongtang was drinking chicken soup when she was shocked by her sister's words. "Cough cough cough, really? You're not lying to me?" She was incredulous and almost choked on her chicken soup.

So never talk about important things while eating.

"Of course it's true," the younger sister said seriously. "If you don't believe me, look at the inside of your left and right elbows. There's a space energy stone and a stargate symbol on each."

Hongtang raised her hand and sure enough, she saw a mark about the size of a fingernail on the inside of her left elbow. It looked a bit like a tattoo, but who would get a fingernail tattooed?

On the inside of my right elbow, there's an incomplete circle of stars. But why are there only 20? I remember there were 24 before.

"Sister, what's the bad news?" Hongtang guessed that the missing four stars might be the bad news, and sure enough, they were.

[The Overlord has closed the four stargates between the Seventh and Sixth Interstellar Civilizations, therefore the host's imprint is missing four stars.]

My sister mentioned this before: the first to seventh Stargates are arranged in a clockwise direction, with 12 o'clock being the starting and ending point.

"That's not necessarily bad news. We might not even be able to reach the Seventh Interstellar Civilization in the future." She hasn't even left Earth yet.

No, she's never even left China. With constant armed conflicts in other countries, it's safer and more reassuring to stay in China.

[How can this not be bad news? My sister will be unable to level up anymore due to the impact, and will no longer be able to provide the host with more information and assistance. My sister is really useless, tsk tsk~] My sister's emotions were somewhat unstable, with a mix of disappointment and apprehension.

"It's okay, no matter what level you are, I will always love you. And you're perfect as you are now." Looking at her sister's figure in a tank top and briefs, Hongtang revealed a wolf-like smile.

Hongtang: Little sister, your little skirt is gone, and there's nothing I can do about it, host. But you still look very cute right now.

[Host, your sister believes in you, so please don't let her down.]

Sister: I absolutely cannot reveal to the host that I have been disconnected and abandoned by the 'main system'. Abandoned subsystem hosts can actively unbind themselves, but once unbound, they will be destroyed, sob sob.

"Don't worry, little sister."

"By the way, has the ice energy on the spatial energy stone merged with me yet?"

[Of course, the host just unintentionally swung an ice spike, which chased Ha Ge away.]

Hongtang: Brother Ha, I didn't mean to hit you. I'll give you two big chicken legs as compensation later.

Brother Ha: There's no need for that! I'm self-sufficient. Aren't the shrimp and fish I catch and eat right away delicious?

Hongtang had no idea that her fishpond had been taken over by Brother Ha. Even if she did know, she wouldn't care too much; those little cuties were multiplying too quickly in the space, and she couldn't possibly eat much of them herself.

"Also, how exactly did I fuse with the space energy stone?"

This space energy stone, which in principle could only be used by the Interstellar Overlord, had completely fused with him, but the conditions that triggered the fusion were baffling and left no clue whatsoever.

"Does that mean we need to sleep for three days and three nights?" the younger sister asked uncertainly.

Hongtang: That's it? Why doesn't she believe it?

Regardless of the truth, the fact that the space energy stone has now been fully integrated is something to celebrate.

It was only then that Hongtang realized that she had slept for three days and three nights, or more accurately, had been unconscious for three days and three nights.

The first time I activated the spatial energy stone, I was unconscious for three days and three nights.

No wonder my sister guessed that way; maybe she's right?

Perhaps it is a mysterious force beyond human comprehension.

I'm not going to think about it anymore; it's too much of a brain drain. I'll just keep eating.

After feeding herself, Hongtang finally remembered Ha Ge. She had slept for three days and didn't know how Ha Ge had survived; he must be starving.

After adding two large bowls of cat food and two large chicken legs, and opening five cans of cat food, Hongtang called out to the window, "Brother Ha, come back inside for dinner."

Lying on its back in the passageway between the two fishponds, Ha Ge, belly up and licking its paws, murmured, "..."

Not seeing Ha Ge, Hong Tang moved with a thought and appeared in the open space outside. Within this space, she could teleport using her mental power.

"Brother Ha, don't be angry, come out quickly. I didn't mean to hurt you just now. Huh, is that a spring?" Hongtang was a little uncertain and teleported closer.

"Ah, it really is a spring! Could this be the legendary spiritual spring that can cleanse the marrow and refine the essence?!" Hongtang was overjoyed. She scooped up a handful of spring water with both hands, brought it to her nose and smelled it. There was no strange smell, but she still didn't dare to drink it.

What if it's not a sacred spring but poisonous water?

[Host, this isn't some kind of spiritual spring water you mentioned.] The younger sister was full of questions. What was spiritual spring water? [This is energy water. It can increase your life energy level and improve your physical strength. It's enough for you until the destruction of the galaxy. You can try it; perhaps it will produce unexpected effects.]

Even with so many younger sisters, it's impossible to say for sure. It's because it was inexplicably abandoned by the "main system," resulting in incomplete information about itself.

"Since it's energy water, it should be able to increase my energy level, right?" Hongtang drank the energy water in her hand in one gulp. It was sweet and quite delicious.

After drinking the energy water, Hongtang discovered that the large bump on her forehead had miraculously disappeared.

Can it also heal external injuries? Hongtang is unsure and requires further verification.

[No, because the energy within the host's body is currently fused with the Overlord's, although it's only one-tenth, it's already at the highest level and cannot be increased further. However, if the host could awaken it on their own, that would be possible.]

"Oh, I see. Then Brother Ha should be able to improve, right? Brother Ha, come here quickly~"

Hongtang shouted, thinking of Ha Ge's "lightning ability", and felt a little happy. It can already electrocute fish and chickens and ducks. After upgrading, will it be able to electrocute cattle and sheep?

Fishpond? Brother Ha?

I have a bad feeling about this!
