Chapter 678 Complete Star Map
Chapter 678 Complete Star Map
As this thought arose in my mind, the power of the stellar bloodline within me, along with the completely transformed Star Sea Divine Authority, surged once again.
My perception and control over this planet's underground energy networks, ocean tides, and the Gaia consciousness network covering the entire globe all jumped to a whole new level.
I could even vaguely establish real mental connections through the Gaia consciousness network with those guardians scattered across the world.
This was a harvest beyond my wildest dreams.
If I could fully master this ability, the coordination between us Blue Star Guardians, and our chances of dealing with The Lord of Cracks and the Association's conspiracy, would greatly increase.
Just as I was immersed in the joy of this power increase, an extremely faint mental fluctuation suddenly flashed by from a hidden corner of the Gaia consciousness network.
That mental fluctuation quickly disappeared, but I clearly caught a trace of familiar aura filled with malice.
It was the Guide.
No, wait. That's not right.
This aura, though somewhat similar to the Guide's, was purer and darker.
It was more like the true mastermind behind the Guide, the one really controlling the Association's conservative faction and playing an even bigger game.
My heart sank to the bottom.
Could it be that while we were fighting to the death with The Lord of Cracks and the Association's radical faction, there was another, even more dangerous force watching everything from the shadows, ready to pick up the pieces?
In this world, what role do we so-called guardians really play in the eyes of those true chess masters?
Can we really control our own destiny, or is everything we do just making wedding clothes for others, ultimately becoming pawns that can be sacrificed at will by more powerful beings?
After experiencing deep resonance with the Heart of Gaia and the planet's source consciousness, both my power and realm had improved significantly.
My control over the Star Sea Divine Authority became more skilled, and my stellar bloodline seemed to have awakened even more ancient potential.
Deep in my soul, the seven-colored light sphere formed by the fusion of the Heart of the Tide, Cradle Heart, and the miniature Gaia heart energy imprint had changed again after resonating with the entire planet's Gaia consciousness.
It was no longer just an energy core—it began actively absorbing and completing a grander cosmic map from the Stellar Trident in my hand and the star chart information I'd obtained from Atlantis.
Eventually, a complete cosmic star map was etched onto my soul, appearing crystal clear in my sea of consciousness.
On that star map, there wasn't just our familiar solar system and Milky Way galaxy—there were countless distant galaxies and mysterious nebulae we'd never heard of, glowing with various lights, and spatial wormholes and energy channels connecting different dimensions and universes.
This was basically an ultimate navigation map containing the entire known universe, and even parts of the unknown universe.
In the deepest part of this vast cosmic star map, a distant star region completely different from our solar system shone like the brightest morning star in the night sky, drawing all my attention.
What shocked me even more was that from the direction of that distant star region came a vast but faint mental signal, crossing billions of light-years, penetrating space and time, transmitted clearly into the depths of my soul.
That mental signal wasn't any language or text we knew, but something closer to the resonance and calling of the soul's origin.
It was calling to the awakened stellar bloodline in my body and the Stellar Trident in my hand that carried the will of ancient ancestors.
It seemed to be telling me that in that distant star region lay the true origin of the stellar bloodline, the ultimate answer to how to eradicate threats from higher-dimensional beings, and a stellar civilization with countless connections to Atlantean civilization.
This discovery, and the mysterious call from the distant star sea, completely unsettled my heart.
I fell into deep confusion and indescribable excitement.
The crisis on Mist Island had eased due to The Lord of Cracks' temporary retreat and the failure of the Association's Ark Plan, and the whole world had temporarily returned to peace.
But I knew this was all just surface appearance.
The Lord of Cracks was just one of countless beings trying to invade our universe—its threat hadn't truly been lifted.
Once it recovered from its severe injuries, or if other more terrifying dimensional harvesters discovered us as prey, what awaited us was still a fate of destruction.
Though the Association had changed leadership internally and the conservatives temporarily had the upper hand, no one could guarantee that those ambitious schemers and lunatics hiding behind the scenes wouldn't cause trouble again and restart conspiracies similar to the Ark Plan.
Defense alone would never bring true peace.
We had to become stronger—strong enough to deal with threats that might appear in the future.
That call from the distant star sea, and the secrets it might contain, might be our only chance to find the ultimate answer and powerful strength.
I shared this discovery and my deeper concerns about the future with Olivia and all my companions, as well as representatives from guardian organizations around the globe.
After hearing what I said, everyone was shocked into silence, falling into a long quiet.
Like me, they all clearly knew that although the crisis on Mist Island was temporarily resolved and the world had returned to peace, this absolutely didn't mean things were over.
That call from the distant star sea was like a door of destiny full of temptation, placed before them.
Should they choose to stay on familiar Blue Star and continue guarding our homeland, or respond to that call from the depths of the star sea, taking some core forces on a brand new journey to the unknown universe to pursue that possible ultimate answer?
This was a difficult choice that concerned the future destiny of our entire civilization.
"Matthew, whatever decision you make, we'll support you," Olivia looked at me seriously.
Since completing the Stellar Soul Reforging at the Fallen Star Altar and mastering Chaos Star Power, Olivia's understanding and perception of the universe's fundamental laws had also reached a whole new height.
She too vaguely felt some wonderful resonance related to her power from that distant star sea's call.
Wendy tightly held my hand, her eyes full of dependence.
Though she didn't quite understand the profound topics we were discussing, she could feel the longing and responsibility in my heart.
"Wherever daddy goes, Wendy goes too!" She spoke the most touching words in her tender voice.
Finn and Gulama, these two men who had fought alongside me from the beginning and experienced countless life-and-death situations, showed no hesitation at all.
They directly patted their chests and promised, "Matthew, no matter how dangerous it is, we'll brave it with you! Whatever The Lord of Cracks, whatever higher dimensions! As long as you're here, we're not afraid of anything!"
