Vivian was in the kitchen, cooking for everyone when she heard the din in the living room. She ran out. Upon learning the truth of the star chart, she as well as Hao Ren fell into thoughts.

Everything seemed to make sense now.

Hao Ren stared at the two charts that matched perfectly, the first thing that came to mind was not the value of this star chart, but how all the pieces had finally come together.

The star chart had two parts. One part was stored deep in Vivian’s soul with the red crystal in her consciousness and the Crimson Moon in the real world as the carrier. Bu no matter what form of storage it was, there was no question that it was part of Vivian’s own memory. The other part of the star chart was in planet Inferno, first discovered to be hidden in the pyramid of the Sun Dynasty.

Since the other half of the star chart was found in the ruins of the Sun Dynasty, it somehow led everyone into a false impression that the star chart was the legacy of the Sun Dynasty, a material left behind by the previous civilization on Inferno. But the truth was that the star chart did not belong to the people of the Sun Dynasty.

It was Vivian’s twin, the demon-god that left the star chart in Inferno.

During the collision of the two worlds 10,000 years ago, the Goddess of Creation threw a divine avatar to the surface world. This divine avatar landed on the planet Inferno and began its first division. Half of her turned into a demon, stranded on the planet Inferno. This half had helped the survivors of the planet lived through the dramatic changes of the planet before it fell into dormancy, was eventually corrupted and annihilated by Hao Ren. The other half fell to the earth, becoming Vivian of today. It was easy to figure that Vivian and the demon god each bore the power and memory of the first divine avatar. So, everything was explainable. Both of them had inherited part of the star chart.

Vivian had also realized this. Her facial expression was complicated. “It was the Malevolence on the planet Inferno who kept the other half of the chart. We had been thinking all along that it belonged to the Sun Dynasty.”

“It seems that she did it while she was still sober.” Hao Ren sighed. “She was eventually festered. But before she lost her mind, she had done everything she could. She gave the star chart to the Sun Dynasty so that they could preserve it. She built a seal for herself to ensure that she would not lose control for 10,000 years. She destroyed the nervous center of the First Born and saved the last batch of lives on the planet. I am beginning to admire her.”

Vivian sighed. “One-half… I could have gone the way of the Malevolence too if not for the splitting. I do not know how, but I think the uncontrolled division has somehow slowed down my decay. I think I am actually lucky.”

Lily looked at Vivian as if she was a ghost (Lily was not entirely wrong, though). “I guess this is the first time in your life that you feel fortunate!”

“At least I am much luckier than the other half in Inferno.” Vivian looked at Lily with a provocative look. “I knew my collection of amulets helped! See what you have to say this time!”

“I do not think so. But it is not important. What is more crucial is that we have the complete star chart now and we have restored the data. Should we go to the place on the map to check it out ourselves?” Hao Ren asked.

Vivian looked at Hao Ren with a smile. “Since you say this, does it not mean that you have already made up your mind?”

Hao Ren scratched his head. “I just feel that we should take a look since there is such an apparent lead before us.”

Lily nodded her head in agreement.

Soon, everyone in the family had learned about the news that the star chart was now complete. How did they know? Because Lily had sent a group message. Y’zaks, his daughter, and Nangong siblings, who were eating in the Nangong’s restaurant, ran back. He could not read the start chart, but the new adventure seemed like an exciting proposition.

Everyone in this house was mischief-maker. Even the Nangong siblings had traveled around the world for a dozen times. For people like them who had been used to wandering around outside, settling down for a peaceful life was something unthinkable.

But it was always good to have a home to fall back on especially after coming back from an adventure.

The MDT was placed on the TV cabinet projecting a giant hologram in the living room. The hologram was so enormous that it filled one-third of the living room space. Everyone was watching from the other end of the living hall. There were not enough seats for them when everyone was present. Some had taken a few benches as if a bunch of old folks listening to health talk. Hao Ren, who stood beside the hologram, was apparently the ‘health speaker.’

With the Gungnir as the pointer, Hao Ren pointed at the coordinates on the start chart. He looked around and found a few uninvited guests among his audience. Lil Pea lay on the head of Nangong Wuyue waving at him, curious and excited. Noobie had also come out of her mouse hole, standing and watching from far away, but God knows what was in her mind. There were no signs that indicated she would fire her ‘biubiubiu.’ And there was this cat, Rollie, who had found a bench and her enthusiasm to join the crowd, squatting on the bench and listening attentively like others.

Hao Ren shook his head. He could not fathom what these three little guys were up to except that they were just curious. But simply because the three most hyperactive guys could finally sit down quietly, Hao Ren would just let sleeping dogs lie. He continued to point the Gungnir at the figures on the star chart. “First, let’s look at the approximate location indicated on the star chart. I have already confirmed it with the drone cluster; it is a galaxy which the expedition probes have yet explored. Even with the use of superluminal observation, we could only vaguely find a few galaxies roughly consistent with the star chart. In other words, this region of space is outside the area of control of the drone cluster and is very far from the universe that we know.”
