Despite all the preparations and the "secret" provided by Raven 12345, Hao Ren still fainted after reading the "Bible". But this time, the duration of his slumber was shorter: he woke up just before dinner time.
As soon as he woke up, he saw Vivian beside him. She seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and Lil Pea was lying on his chest. The baby fish had fallen asleep, curled up into a cute little ball, and occasionally patted his chest with her tail. She seemed to be dreaming.
"You're awake?" Vivian saw Hao Ren open his eyes and immediately smiled softly. "If I hadn't experienced it once, I would have been shocked again. Wuyue has checked your body. You've used up a lot of your mental strength, but it's much better than the last time. Do you feel any discomfort? "
"… I think I may have believed in a fake God, taken a fake artifact, and read a fake oracle …" Hao Ren rubbed his head. "Damn it, the reason I fainted this time is only half because of mental strength exhaustion, and the other half is probably because of anger …"
Vivian looked at Hao Ren curiously. "What did you see in the Bible?"
And to think that this girl still called that damned black tome a "Holy Bible" with such reverence.
"Nothing." Hao Ren thought for a moment and decided to tell her what he saw. After all, he was a pope who dared to curse at God, why should he worry about his little buddy losing his faith? Besides, Vivian did not believe in any god at all. "It says that if the Goddess of Creation is really completely eroded by the Mad Lord, and we happen to meet her, we should take out the Bible and knock her on the head until she wakes up …"
"… Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Vivian said.
"… I'm awake," Hao Ren said.
"Alright, it seems like you're not joking." Vivian did not know whether to laugh or cry. "I've spent so much effort just to hear this sentence. It's a huge loss to let you go this time."
"You can't say that. Apart from this ridiculous' oracle ', I've gained something else." Hao Ren shook his head and turned to look at the black book lying quietly on the bedside table. He had fainted in the living room, but it seemed like Vivian had moved him to the bedroom and brought the book along. "I've passed the test of this artifact. Now … I should be able to use part of its power."
As his voice fell, the black-covered book also emitted a slight sound as if it was summoned. The black chain on the spine of the book, which looked like a fiend, also began to shake, filled with a raging battle intent.
Hao Ren: "…"
Speaking of which, as a holy book, if it was summoned, even if it didn't open a scripture, it should at least emit some holy light! What the hell was with the rattling of the chain? So, the setting of this thing was really just a meteor hammer?
Feeling the faint connection between the holy book and his spiritual world, Hao Ren decisively put it back into his Dimensional Pocket. At the same time, he covered half of his face with his hand. "I've decided that unless it's necessary, I'll never touch this thing again. Communicating with this book is worse than arguing with Raven 12345."
As he moved and spoke, Lil Pea, who was sleeping on his chest, finally woke up. When the little mermaid saw that Hao Ren was fine, she immediately let out a happy cry and jumped over with her tail. She smacked the whole fish on Hao Ren's face. "Daddy, you're awake! Daddy, are you okay? "
A fish flopping on one's face would definitely make anyone flustered, even Hao Ren was no exception. He tossed and turned for a long time before he finally grabbed Lil Pea's slippery tail and lifted the little mermaid upside down. "How many times have I told you not to jump on other people's faces? Do you know how many people are traumatized by the facehugger?"
The little mermaid twisted in the air. "But Lil Pea is a fish!"
"… The facehugger is the same." Hao Ren sat up and handed the little mermaid to Vivian next to him. "This child grows up too fast. How can a three-year-old be so logical and meticulous?"
"That's not right. I went to Purgatory to save the world two hours after I was born. Genius children don't care about age …"
Hao Ren: "…"
He had a feeling that Vivian was getting more and more cheerful after she got rid of those psychological burdens. Was it an illusion?
When Hao Ren returned to the living room, he saw Rollie lying on the sofa, holding a ball of wool and gnawing on it. Lily was squatting in front of the TV, switching channels. The others were nowhere to be found: they had probably gone to the Nangong couple's restaurant for a free meal. Looking at the time, Vivian probably did not have time to cook because she was taking care of him. The starving people at home would naturally go out to find food when they had no food to eat. Only Lily and Rollie, who were not only greedy but also pretentious, were probably waiting for Vivian to cook.
Sure enough, as soon as Vivian appeared, Lily jumped over and shouted exaggeratedly, "Battie, Battie! Hurry up and cook! Hurry up and cook! I'm starving to death! "
"You're still so loud when you're starving to death," Vivian glared at the husky maiden and muttered as she walked to the kitchen, "Don't you know to find something to eat first? Eating ribs all day has really made you a picky eater."
Lily made a face at Vivian's back and said, "Rua —"
Then she turned to Hao Ren and giggled. "I knew you'd be fine. You're as strong as me. By the way, did you see the revelation? "
The corner of Hao Ren's mouth twitched. He really did not want to recall what he had seen again …
After dinner, Hao Ren took out the MDT and began to continue to study the messy historical data. At the same time, he was ready to understand the intelligence from the various monitoring stations in the Plane of Dreams.
While browsing the observation records that were marked as key points, he asked casually, "You've seen the star chart projected by the Crimson Moon, haven't you?"
"Of course, I've saved the star chart. But as you know, the star chart is missing too many things. Even with my performance, it's impossible to complete it out of thin air. So don't even think about using that incomplete star chart to forcibly open the map in the Plane of Dreams. You don't know how many interstellar street racers who don't look at the star chart crash every year …"
"I know, I'm not stupid," Hao Ren waved his hand. "I just want you to compare the star chart with the various star charts we have collected so far. Maybe you can find a slight overlap, so at least we can determine which galaxy the star chart in Vivian's memory is pointing to."
The MDT shook its body up and down. "Oh, that's not a problem. But to be honest, I don't think it makes any sense. Star charts are different from ordinary maps. They not only describe the three-dimensional space, but also the trajectory of the three-dimensional space under the time ruler. Without knowing how to change the guidance data, it's almost impossible to have two star charts overlap … Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep?! "
Hao Ren was startled by the MDT's sudden strange sound. "What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly become the voice of an 80s sci-fi movie? "
"… I found an overlap …"
Hao Ren blinked. Two seconds later, he realized what the MDT meant. "What the f * ck?"
"You asked me to look for it. Now that I've found it, why are you more surprised than me?"
"Aren't you too fast in finding him? You just threw out a bunch of theories saying that it's impossible to find overlapping star charts. I haven't even finished talking and you've found one! What the hell is this! " Hao Ren looked at the MDT as if he had seen a ghost. "Could it be that you've found it all along and just wanted to scare me?"
The MDT shook its body disdainfully and changed the image on the holographic projection. "See for yourself. I have nothing better to do than to make fun of you."
Two star charts immediately appeared in front of Hao Ren.
With his Level-5 Navigation, Level-5 Introduction to Starships, and Level-99 + Random Guessing skills, Hao Ren could tell that there was at least a third of the overlap between the two star charts … No, not just overlap.
One-third of them overlapped, and the rest … actually complemented each other!
Together, they formed a complete star chart!
"… Where did the other star chart come from?" Hao Ren looked at this incredible scene and could not help but mutter to himself. "How could it be such a coincidence …"
"You still remember Inferno. When we were looking for the entrance to the First Born's cave, we found the ruins of the Sun Dynasty." The MDT's memory was much better than Hao Ren's. "In the ruins of the Sun Dynasty, we activated the seal of the Great Pyramid. During the operation of the pyramid, a star chart was projected in the sky. We always thought that the star chart indicated the original coordinates of Inferno in the Plane of Dreams. You also sent a drone group to the depths of the universe to find the corresponding position of the star chart … But until now, not even a hair has been found. "
Hao Ren looked incredulous. "That star chart is …"
"Yes, that star chart is the second missing part. It and the star chart projected by the Crimson Moon can complement each other. After recombining the two star charts, I have completed the restoration of the original star chart … "
As the voice of the MDT trailed off, the holographic projection in mid-air began to change again. The two star charts merged together, and all the star paths and navigation marks began to shine on various nodes.
Hao Ren was still a little confused. "Wait a minute, this is not right. The star chart we saw on Inferno was not incomplete. It looked quite complete. Otherwise, I would not have sent the drone group to find the coordinates on the star chart. How could it be a remnant of another star chart? "
"This is because part of it is hidden," the MDT said as it continued to change the holographic projection. "The missing part of the star chart is folded and hidden in a bunch of meaningless coordinates and transformation rules. At first, we thought that it was a garbled code produced by the Sun Dynasty in the process of preserving or making star charts due to lack of technology. However, in the process of comparing the two star charts, I found a way to unfold these 'garbled codes', and the result is like this."
The two star charts merged into one, indicating a mysterious place deep in the universe of the Plane of Dreams.
