Vivian, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard the commotion in the living room and came out to check on the situation. After learning the truth about the two star maps, she and Hao Ren looked at the combined star map and fell into deep thought.
Everything seemed to make sense.
Looking at the combined star map, the first thing that came to Hao Ren's mind was not the value of the star map itself, but the cause and effect of all this in an instant.
The star map was composed of two parts. One part was stored in the depths of Vivian's soul, using the red crystal in the realm of consciousness and the crimson moon in the real world as the carrier. No matter how it was stored, it was undoubtedly a part of Vivian's memory. The other part was on Inferno, first discovered in the pyramid ruins of the Sun Dynasty on Inferno.
Since the second part of the star map was found in the ruins of the Sun Dynasty, everyone had fallen into a certain misunderstanding. Everyone thought that the star map was the legacy of the Sun Dynasty, a database left behind by the previous civilization on Inferno. But in fact, the star map was probably not left by the people of the Sun Dynasty.
It was left behind by Vivian's twin, the demonic goddess Vivian, who stayed on Inferno.
During the collision of worlds 10,000 years ago, the goddess of creation sent a divine avatar to the surface world. This divine avatar landed on Inferno and had its first split. Half of her became a demonic goddess, stayed on Inferno, and helped the survivors on the planet survive the great changes. She then fell into a deep sleep, completely corrupted, and was finally destroyed by Hao Ren. The other half fell to Earth and became today's Vivian. From this, it was easy to figure out that Vivian and the demonic goddess Malevolence each carried half of the power and memory of the original divine avatar. So everything was explained: they each inherited half of the star map.
As Hao Ren thought of this, Vivian immediately thought of the same thing. She had a complicated expression on her face. "The Malevolence on Inferno … She was the one who kept the second star map. We always thought the Star Map was left by the Sun Dynasty. "
"It seems that she did these things while she was still sane on Inferno." Hao Ren sighed. "Although she was completely corrupted in the end, she did everything she could before she lost her mind. She gave the star map to the Sun Dynasty and asked them to preserve it. She built a seal for herself so that she would not lose control for 10,000 years. She destroyed the nerve center of the First Born and saved the last group of lives on the planet. Tsk … I can't help but be impressed. "
Vivian heaved a sigh of relief. "Half? Maybe I was almost on the same path as the Malevolence. I don't know what happened to me, but I kept splitting myself to slow down the rate of erosion. Now that I think about it, I'm actually quite lucky. "
Lily looked at Vivian as if she had seen a ghost. "This is the first time in your life that you feel so lucky!"
"At least I'm much luckier than the 'half' on Inferno." Vivian gave Lily a provocative look. "I knew it. The amulets I collected are effective! Let's see what else you have to say this time! "
Hao Ren said, "No, I don't think it's because of this. Forget it, this is not important. What's important is that now we have the star map, and the transformation guidance data has been restored. Should we go and take a look at the place on the star map?"
Vivian looked at Hao Ren with a grin. "Doesn't it mean that you've already made up your mind when you said that?"
Hao Ren ran his hand through his hair. "The main thing is that such a big clue is right in front of me. If I don't go and take a look, I will be scratching my head."
Lily nodded. She seemed to have the same feeling.
Soon, everyone in the house knew that the star map had been assembled. How did they know? Lily had sent a group of text messages. Y 'zaks and his daughter, along with the Nangong siblings, who were freeloading in the Nangong Tavern, quickly came back. They did not understand the data on the star map, but they seemed to be very interested in a new adventure.
After all, the people living in this house were basically all people who could cause trouble. Even Nangong Sanba and Nangong Wuyue, who were weak in combat, were people who had traveled around the world dozens of times. For them, who had been traveling since they were young, it was almost unimaginable for them to stay in a safe and stable home for the rest of their lives.
Of course, it was good to have a safe and stable home — especially after adventuring outside.
The MDT was placed on the TV cabinet in the living room. The large holographic projection covered almost a third of the living room. Everyone gathered at the other end of the living room to watch. There were obviously not enough sofas, so they brought out a few small stools. It looked like a group of retired old people listening to a health care expert. And Hao Ren, who was standing next to the holographic projection, was obviously the 'health care expert'.
Hao Ren held the Gungnir in his hand as a pointer to point out the coordinates on the star map. He looked around the 'audience' in the living room and suddenly found a few uninvited guests among them. Lil Pea was lying on Nangong Wuyue's head, waving at him, looking excited and curious. Noobie had also come out of the mouse hole, but no one knew what was on her mind. She just stood at the farthest place and stared at him. She did not seem to have any intention of 'biubiubiu'. Finally, there was Rollie. The cat girl must have seen everyone and joined in the fun. She found a small stool in the house and squatted on it. She looked like she was ready to listen to a lecture …
Hao Ren shook his head, thinking that the three of them had absolutely no idea what was going on and were just here to make up the numbers. But it was rare for the three of them to sit quietly for a while, and he did not want to disperse them. He continued to use the Gungnir to point at some parameters on the star map. "First, the approximate location indicated by this star map. I have confirmed with the drone cluster that it is a star area that the expedition probes have not explored so far. Even with superluminal observation, we can only vaguely see a few galaxies that roughly match the star map. In other words, this area is outside the drone cluster's control area, far away from the areas that we have explored. "
Y 'zaks nodded. "Outside the control area means it is risky."
"That's right. So the first step is to send a few exploration drones over to check out the situation." Hao Ren nodded. "It is very far, but the rapid exploration drones are equipped with powerful warp engines that can quickly travel across the entire universe … By the way, Y 'zaks, why do you have to squat on the ground?"
"I'm sitting on a stool."
"… Why don't you switch with your daughter? You sit on the sofa and let her sit on the stool. How old is she? Don't spoil your child like this. You're so big, sitting on the stool looks like you're squatting."
Y 'zaks scratched his big bald head. "Hey, it's okay. I'm not uncomfortable."
"I'm mainly worried about my stool. Its four legs are almost nailed into the floor by you."
At this time, Lily raised her hand. "Mr. Landlord, can the place that the drone cluster has not yet explored directly using the warp engine?"
This was really a question befitting of a top student. Hao Ren nodded. "It should be no problem. The star map comes with a few navigation parameters that are used to guide the jump. I have asked Nolan to simulate it and found that it can be translated into coordinates that can be recognized by the drone cluster. As long as the jump takes off within the universe of the Plane of Dreams, it will work. Of course, there should be a big deviation after the jump. After all, there is a slight error in the star map translation process. Secondly, the star map's transformation guidance data can only provide a conclusion of celestial bodies under ideal conditions. There is a deviation from the real operation of the universe. The longer the time, the greater the deviation. This star map has not been calibrated for ten thousand years. "
He then added, "Of course, even if there's a deviation in the jump, it won't affect us much. Anyway, we'll definitely be able to reach the key coordinates on this star map. At most, we'll let the drone slowly climb to the correct coordinates. With the hyperdrive, it'll only take a few hours or a few days."
There were some unsatisfactory aspects, but it was already a pretty good situation. Using a warp engine made under another technological tree, referring to a star map that had not been calibrated for ten thousand years, to warp to an unknown galaxy that was extremely difficult to observe, and still be able to make sure that they would be near the target after the jump, Hao Ren felt that it was as miraculous as finding two identical faces in a population of ten million. Of course, if you were looking for it in Korea, it would instantly become a beginner's mission …
At this time, Nangong Wuyue raised her hand and asked another question. "I have a question. Now that we know that the goddess of creation was corrupted by the Mad Lord and even split into two, how can we be sure that this star map is left behind by the goddess of creation? What if this is the star map left behind by the corrupted personality of the goddess? Could it be a trap? "
"I have thought about this." Hao Ren nodded. "The conclusion is that no matter what, we have to go take a look. No matter what we find there, we cannot ignore the location on the star map. Whether it is the goddess of creation or the goddess of annihilation, she would not have spent so much effort to leave behind a star map just to mess with us. "
"And I think that no matter how powerful the goddess of creation was, she would not have known what would happen to us ten thousand years later. Similarly, the goddess of annihilation that she split off would not have set any trap for us, unless this trap was used against me." Vivian pointed at herself. "Because if I did not split off, then I would be the only one who could use the star map in the end, so why would she want to trap me?"
Lily's mind began to wander. "Maybe she wanted to trap the original goddess of creation. Let's say that you are the key to the resurrection of the original goddess of creation, and the pirated one could not stop your birth, so she could only tamper with your soul and set a trap for you to die or something … "
Hao Ren saw that the topic was going to go on endlessly, so he quickly waved his hand and interrupted. "These things are not going to get us anywhere. Only by finding the coordinates on the star map and going there to find out what it means. I have decided to let the drone cluster send out the probe. If the probe arrives safely, we will go and have a look. Does everyone agree? "
Lily said, "I have no objections. The drone cluster is yours anyway, and I think what you said makes sense."
The Nangong siblings exchanged a look. "Us too."
Everyone agreed, and only Rollie raised her hand and waved. "I have a question, meow. Big Boss Cat, you have been talking for so long, why haven't you mentioned the dried fish?"
Hao Ren said, "… Okay, looks like everyone agrees."
"Meow meow meow?"
Rollie's words were ignored by everyone. That evening, the drone cluster in the Plane of Dreams received a hyperspace command from Hao Ren. Three specially enhanced probe drones left the cluster and began to warp towards the mysterious coordinates on the star map.
Two days later, two of the drones arrived at the predetermined coordinates. They were safe all the way, but they sent back an incredible picture.
