Ultimate Series, Past Lives Revealed

ThisExtraction range: Gold Time Dimension

Selected Character: Hao Jiaqi of Class One in the Gold Time Dimension

Hao Jiaqi’s previous life was in an Interstellar World full of fantasy, where technology was highly developed, and humans could easily reach any planet with advanced technology.

In this world, people not only awakened powerful Mental Energy but also possessed strong physiques and long lifespans. However, all of this came at a cost: an extremely low birth rate became a major problem in this world.

Hao Jiaqi’s experiences in her previous life gave her a special longing for family and kinship. As an adult, she harbored an urgent wish—to have a child of her own.

The Interstellar Empire had clear regulations: even if women did not marry, they had to go to a specialized institution to donate eggs. This regulation was a measure taken to alleviate the population problem.

Thanks to the progress of interstellar technology, the emergence of Gestation Pods completely changed traditional methods of childbirth. Women no longer needed to endure the hardship of ten months of pregnancy; they only needed to provide eggs, and they could conceive their own children with the help of Gestation Pods.

Hao Jiaqi yearned for family companionship and craved that intimate kinship. Although a partner was also an option she had considered, she never met anyone who truly moved her. Unwilling to settle, she turned her attention to having a child, hoping to fill the void in her heart through a child.

On this special day, Hao Jiaqi piloted her starship, shimmering with starlight, through the vast Universe, speeding towards Central Star. Her heart was filled with anticipation and unease, as this journey held extraordinary significance for her.

Central Star, as one of the most prosperous planets in the Universe, boasts the most advanced technology and the most complete facilities. Hao Jiaqi knew that only in such a place could she ensure her child would receive the best care and growth environment. She longed to witness her child’s gradual growth in the Gestation Pod and feel the miracle of life.

Hao Jiaqi herself grew up in an orphanage, which made her particularly concerned about her child’s future. In Interstellar Society, children like her who grew up in orphanages were not uncommon. In fact, most interstellar children spent their childhoods in orphanages.

The Interstellar Main Brain once considered solving the population problem through forced matching and marriage, but the policy’s implementation a thousand years ago was unsatisfactory. It led to the emergence of countless resentful couples; genetically matched partners who should have been attracted to each other instead produced adverse effects for some unknown reason.

Perhaps it was the influence of Mental Energy that made these seemingly perfect matches no longer harmonious. People began to question whether this gene-based pairing method was truly viable.

Therefore, at some point later, the Main Brain made a major decision—to abolish the gene matching system. This move allowed people to freely choose their romantic partners, no longer restricted by genetic matching. Consequently, various forms of relationships emerged; whether male-male, female-female, or male-female, none were constrained anymore.

A direct consequence of this change was that people had more options for reproduction. Thanks to advanced Gestation Pod technology, having children no longer required personally experiencing pregnancy and childbirth. As long as both parties provided sperm and eggs, or in the case of female-female and male-male couples, only sperm and blood were needed, they could cultivate their own biological children.

However, it should be noted that the success rate of this method of cultivating children through technological means is relatively low. Nevertheless, due to the long lifespans of the Interstellar people, their desire for offspring was not as strong as other races. Therefore, for a long time, the population did not significantly decline due to this low probability.

But as time passed, the situation changed. The Interstellar population gradually decreased, and the rate of decline accelerated. Faced with this grim reality, the Main Brain had to take more decisive measures. Thus, an ironclad rule came into being: regardless of gender, once an adult, one must conceive at least one child.

Xia Mei of the Iron Time Dimension: I thought it was our Iron Time Dimension’s turn, but it’s still the Gold Time Dimension!

Ma Chao of the Silver Time Dimension: Perhaps it’s because Hao Jiaqi and Ding Xiaoyu are a couple?

Tong Era Xiong Ya: Didn’t you notice? Hao Jiaqi’s name in her past life was still Hao Jiaqi?

Jiu Wu of the Iron Time Dimension: The points you’re focusing on are strange; shouldn’t we be focusing on the Interstellar World? It’s amazing, like a sci-fi novel!

Wang Dadong of the Gold Time Dimension: Jiaqi, your past life’s world is so amazing, I want to go see it. The starship is so cool!

Arthur Wang: Narcissist, Jiaqi doesn’t remember her past life. Instead of talking nonsense, you should just watch the heavenly screen!

Wang Dadong of the Gold Time Dimension: Narcissist, I’m just sighing. The Interstellar World is really cool and awesome!

At this moment, Hao Jiaqi and Ding Xiaoyu were sitting on the sofa at home, watching the heavenly screen together. The scene on the heavenly screen was Hao Jiaqi’s ”past life.”

Looking at herself on the screen, Hao Jiaqi felt an indescribable sense of emotion.

Since leaving that world and coming here, Hao Jiaqi had experienced many unexpected things.

And what made her feel most fortunate was meeting Ding Xiaoyu—the love of her life.

Ding Xiaoyu quietly watched Jiaqi, a thought suddenly flashing through his mind.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn’t help but ask, ”Jiaqi, you wouldn’t still remember, would you?”

Hao Jiaqi was stunned by his words, momentarily unsure how to answer.

Her lips parted slightly, but no sound came out, only a vague ”I...”

Seeing this, Ding Xiaoyu grew even more anxious. He quickly embraced Hao Jiaqi, as if afraid she would suddenly disappear.

His voice trembled slightly as he asked again, ”Will you leave me?”

Hao Jiaqi quickly shook her head and said firmly, ”No, you are my beloved. Even if I leave, I’ll take you with me!”

Hearing these words, Ding Xiaoyu’s unease eased slightly.

He stared intently into Jiaqi’s eyes, wanting to confirm if she truly felt that way.

Hao Jiaqi felt Ding Xiaoyu’s gaze. She smiled slightly and leaned in to kiss Ding Xiaoyu’s lips.

The kiss was gentle and brief, yet full of love.

Ding Xiaoyu’s body trembled slightly; he could feel Jiaqi’s sincerity.

He smiled and softly said, ”Jiaqi, I love you!”

Hao Jiaqi returned his smile, also saying gently, ”I love you too!”

The atmosphere between them gradually heated up at this moment, and their breaths became somewhat hurried.

Unbeknownst to them, the surrounding environment quietly changed; the living room had transformed into the large bed in the bedroom.

Ding Xiaoyu and Hao Jiaqi’s bodies seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, instantly rolling together.

Their bodies intertwined, their skin touching, conveying each other’s body temperature.

At this moment, they needed no words; the physical contact was enough to express their love.
