Chapter 478 Is this really just a dream?
Weasley thought for a moment, consulted with Melina, and retrieved the publicly available records of the Blue Star Civilization Trial Grounds before replying.

[Your oracle activation and control password is: Your Majesty, Creator Beyond the Stars, please respond.]

Qiu Xiaomei's eyebrows twitched. She needed to return to Blue Star to verify this information.

Weasley patiently explained: "The Oracle was something we deliberately left behind before we left Kyushu. At the time, we had to leave for some reasons, and we always hoped to one day meet Kyushu again, so we left behind a star system-wide broadcast communicator. We don't call it the Oracle, we call it 'Return of the Son.'"

The operators in charge carved many pictures on the sub-wall. I remember one of them was a panoramic view of the Nine Provinces Star. On the Nine Provinces Star, there is a divine tree, towering into the clouds and piercing the sky. We built a spaceport on its enormous canopy, resembling a celestial palace.

Qiu Xiaomei's eyes sparkled.

She had seen this picture when she listened to Professor Chen's lecture.

In peacetime, scientists interpret this image as a manifestation of the creator's imaginative, naive veneration of giant plants—a beautiful vision rather than reality.

After entering the Era of Ruins, many scholars, including Professor Chen, changed their views, believing that the picture was more realistic. After all, a civilization that could leave behind so many advanced weapons could easily have recreated the scene depicted in the picture.

Weasley suddenly dropped another bombshell.

Before leaving Kyushu, we left behind a gene bank containing the genetic sequences of our various races.

Ok? !

Qiu Xiaomei has lost her composure.

So, the person on the other side is actually my great-great-great-great-great-great-ancestor?
This is too exaggerated.

He simply wanted the other party to prove that they and the humans of Blue Star shared the same home planet.

The other party, however, wanted to be his ancestor.

Is this even acceptable?!
Weasley reassured him, "Don't worry too much. As it stands, you don't have much of my genetic information in your body. You might be from some other race."

Qiu Xiaomei remained expressionless. Wouldn't this situation make people even more worried?

Besides this, what other evidence can you provide?

Wesley frowned.

The hardest thing in the world is to prove yourself.

During negotiations, the worst thing you can do is to go along with what the other party is saying to prove your own point.

However, this is not a negotiation.

Weasley couldn't afford to be too lenient or too harsh on Qiu Xiaomei in front of him.

He irritably touched the Xinghe Party emblem on his chest.

This was a habit he developed after leaving the Interstellar Federation. Whenever he was irritable, angry, or faced with difficulties, he would touch the party emblem and draw endless courage from it.

Qiu Xiaomei subtly observed Weasley's every move.

Her gaze followed Weasley's finger to the familiar party emblem, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

She's seen this before!
Principal Lin wore a white t-shirt with this pattern on the left chest during her public teaching session.

As a die-hard fan of Principal Lin, Qiu Xiaomei has practically worn out all of Principal Lin's teaching videos; there's absolutely no way she could mistake this pattern!

【What's this? 】

Weasley paused for a moment, then recognized the two words in the pattern inside the white bubble and understood what Qiu Xiaomei was asking.

He stood even straighter than before, and his expression was more solemn.

[It's the party emblem. The emblem of the Xinghe Party. Our party leader is Lin Xiaohe.]

After reading this sentence, Qiu Xiaomei's fingers curled up and trembled slightly.

There's a 99% chance they're telling the truth.

Why did you leave Kyushu Star in the first place? And why are you coming back now?

Weasley: [Back then, our star system was on the verge of collapse, so we had to flee Kyushu. Now, we've come to find the Lord.]

Who is the Venerable One?

Lin Xiaohe.

Qiu Xiaomei suddenly understood; it was exactly what she expected, an answer that wasn't surprising at all. [Since you've encountered a world-ending crisis, why did Principal Lin stay on Kyushu Star? Did you betray her?]

"How is this possible?!" Weasley felt a surge of violence, but after seeing Qiu Xiaomei's fear, he forcibly suppressed it.

Weasley warned: "No one may question our loyalty to the Lord! The Starwrights are forever loyal to the Lord!"

He disliked others questioning his loyalty to the Lord, and didn't even want to hear any discussion: "The Lord was forced to remain on Kyushu Star to give us a chance to survive."

Weasley believed that when the primordial black hole collapsed, the Lord must have returned to the Nine Provinces, which led to the current situation.

The thought of the Lord alone on Kyushu for billions of years broke Weasley's heart.

How desperate must it be for a person to watch as the humans on Earth, who possess the genetic information of their ancestors, have progressed from the primitive era of making fire by friction to a level 0.7 civilization!
Oh, my Lord, you have suffered so much.

The descendants are disappointing; after so many years, they still haven't become celestial beings.

You must be so disappointed.

Qiu Xiaomei received a look of disappointment from the other party and looked completely bewildered.

What's wrong?
Your incompetence has caused Principal Lin great trouble. What does it have to do with Qiu Xiaomei?

In an instant, the previously harmonious atmosphere between Weasley and Qiu Xiaomei was replaced by mutual dislike.

Qiu Xiaomei felt a huge pulling force from behind, causing her to fall backward.

"Wait, I haven't finished asking yet!"

She was like a piece of paper being sucked up by a vacuum cleaner, spinning wildly.

Then I woke up.

Qiu Xiaomei opened her eyes and found herself still sitting on the futon, with a lush, emerald-green vine in front of her, and Luna, Rossi, and Alian sitting beside her.

Luna: "You're awake. Were you asleep just now? I could hear you talking in your sleep."

"Huh?" Qiu Xiaomei was a little disappointed. Was it all just a dream?
"What did I just say?"

Luna: "I can't hear very well, but it seems like she's chatting with someone."

Ugh.

Okay, it really was just a dream.

Qiu Xiaomei stood up, twisted her neck, and stretched her back.

She glanced at her smartwatch and realized that only two hours had passed.

Those two hours were incredibly exciting.

She had never had such a vivid dream before. Even when she did dream, she would forget the details as soon as she woke up.

But this time, she could clearly remember every detail of the Arbiter, as well as Weasley's appearance and even some of his little gestures.

This dream bothered her a lot.

Unable to sit down and meditate any longer, Qiu Xiaomei turned and walked quietly to the other side of the exhibition room.

This display shows Principal Lin's personal belongings, collected by the Guixu government.

The milk tea cup I used to use, my old desk, and some doodles I did when I was bored.

These small items are all perfectly protected in a transparent glass case.

Qiu Xiaomei slowed down and looked at them one by one.

Principal Lin's graffiti is bold and has the style of an abstract painter.

In layman's terms, nobody can understand what she's drawing; it's very abstract.

Amidst a jumble of messy lines, a line of small characters caught Qiu Xiaomei's eye.

A flower is a world, a tree is a Bodhi tree.

The handwriting was flamboyant and casual, but Qiu Xiaomei was inexplicably bothered by it.
