"Saya, you don't actually believe that weird woman, do you?"
Tang Dun glanced back at the house behind him and added, "I checked. Her martial arts strength is only a mere level 10."
At that moment, the two had already stepped out of the Everything House. Saya shook his head at his question. To be honest, he didn't know whether he should believe her. But given his current situation, he seemed to have no other choice.
The title veteran who returned from the Interdimensional Battlefield with supreme honor was as fragile as a piece of paper to the Lyresas family. It was evident from the fact that the Death Ray Cannon had directly targeted him.
Those people didn't care about his identity at all. Everything he had envisioned before returning had become a joke. Even his trustworthy fiancée had resolutely betrayed him. One second she would kiss him, the next she could try to kill him. She was so different from the memory he had of her, like a completely different person.
He had no one to rely on, no direction, no goal, no idea what to do…
Saya stared blankly at the city lights, utterly lost and unsure of where to go. Finally, he clutched the slip of paper in his hand tightly.
"Then, I will obey the guidance of fate," Saya whispered to himself.
After all, this wasn't the first time he had obeyed. Saya unfolded the slip of paper again and read its words aloud.
"See the first person you met, go back to where it all began, reclaim what is rightfully yours. The one reigning upon the stars has prepared everything for you."
Saya started pondering the meaning of the first sentence.
"See the first person I met? The first person I met..."
Saya's face showed a look of reminiscence. "My first friend? My childhood playmate? Is that what you call the first..."
"Ha!"
At this moment, Tang Dun beside him suddenly exclaimed in surprise. He seemed to want to say something to Saya, but Saya appeared deep in thought, muttering to himself. Tang Dun thought for a moment and then closed his mouth.
"I've got it!" Saya suddenly exclaimed softly, a gleam of surprise flashing in his eyes, but his expression quickly became hesitant.
"Could it really be her?"
At this moment, Tang Dun finally spoke. "Her, who?"
Saya handed the note to him, pointing to the first sentence and explaining, "The first instruction is to see the first person I met. After thinking about it, I think 'the first person I met' probably refers to my sister, because we knew each other in the womb; no one could have known me earlier than her."
"It sounds like a good interpretation. I see no issue with it," Tang Dun nodded in agreement. "Then all you need to do now is go see her."
Saya couldn't help but smile bitterly, "But the problem is, my sister was taken away and raised by my mother's family when she was young. Forget finding her, I don't even know her name or what she looks like. We've only met a few times..."
Saya hadn't finished speaking. Suddenly, a luxurious and enormous silver-gray spaceship appeared in the deep blue sky above. With Saya's keen eyesight, he recognized it at a glance. This was the highest-grade private spaceship currently available for purchase in the Polo star region. Even he, the former eldest son of the Lyresas family, had never possessed such a thing. It's easy to imagine the status and position of the person inside this spaceship. At the very least, their lineage is no less powerful than that of the Lyresas family.
The appearance of this spaceship undoubtedly caused a sensation in the city below. Countless people looked up, gasping in amazement. The entire city's patrol force sprang into action, swarming towards the spaceship like bees.
Seemingly unconcerned about the commotion it caused, the massive ship headed straight towards Saya and Tang Dun. Before Saya could react, it had already landed in front of him. The shell-like hatch slowly opened, and a girl with sky-blue hair like Saya stepped out. With a flash, she appeared before Saya.
He was stunned. Looking at the girl before him, who was also quietly gazing at him, he felt a surge of emotion, a connection as strong as blood ties, welling up within him. As if possessed, Saya blurted out,
"Heyer!"
Upon hearing this call, the girl opposite him, whose hair and eyes were identical in color to his, couldn't help but chuckle softly. She looked at Saya with a charming smile and said gently, "I didn't expect you to remember my name. My long-lost brother."
At this moment, Saya felt it. He truly seemed to have received guidance from the goddess of fate.

The spaceship continued to shake. Lu Sheng didn't return to his room, but stayed with Haiji Dao and Anon Turing. The three sat in the central lounge of the spaceship, silent, each lost in their own thoughts.
Sheng wasn't worried about any unforeseen events. Since Chief Star ElderMokodo had offered to send him to the Celestial Academy at the center of the Celestial Serpent galaxy, he was naturally confident she could accomplish this, being a level 14 powerhouse. Even if the spaceship was destroyed, Lu Sheng believed Mokodo would have other backup plans.
He focused most of his energy and attention on improving his own strength. His time was limited, every minute precious, so he never stopped cultivating. With his body strengthened, he focused all his energy on drawing energy from his storage container, continuously increasing the power within his body and the number of immortal cells.
With a portion of his mind, he was engaged in battles within the Dream Space universe, progressing gradually. This increased his martial arts foundation and, incidentally, allowed him to acquire more Universe Source power.
The level 13 powerhouse, Haiji Dao, also showed no unusual emotional fluctuations. As the one among the three who had the most contact with Chief Star Elder Mokodo, he presumably trusted her strength the most. He probably never even considered that any unexpected events might occur during this trip.
On the other hand, Anon Turing, sitting beside Lu Sheng, appeared calm, but his mental energy was fluctuating. It was clear he was very nervous.
Lu Sheng didn't offer any comfort, simply continuing with his own tasks. However, after several fruitless mental probes, Anon Turing took the initiative to speak to him.
"Lu Sheng, your Extraordinary Blood should be at the Monarch level, right?"
Anon Turing was truly a skilled conversationalist. With just one sentence, he piqued Lu Sheng's interest. Sheng didn't stop absorbing energy crystals and asked, "Monarch level? Are there such levels of Extraordinary Physiques?"
Anon Turing, having heard Lu Sheng's response, sat up slightly and nodded, "Yes. Higher than the Immortal-level Extraordinary Physique is the Monarch level. It's said that above the Monarch level, there are even higher existences. But I don't know what they are."
At this moment, the previously silent Haiji Dao suddenly spoke, 'Monarch, Sovereign, Eternity. These are the Extraordinary Physique levels above Immortal."

Heyer aka Heya, Pei'er, Pearl
佩兒, pèi er [pronounced heyaa]: 佩 respect 儿 child person
Should I call her Heya like Saya since they're twins? Maybe I should. (Saya - 撒亚 (trad. 撒亞), sā yà: 撒 drop 亚 second) Should I start her name with a P though the pronuncation is closer to an H? I'll think about it.
"the first person I met", "my sister", "we knew each other in the womb", "my sister was taken away and raised by my mother's family when she was young. Forget finding her, I don't even know her name or what she looks like. We've only met a few times", a girl with sky-blue hair, Heyer, "I didn't expect you to remember my name. My long-lost brother."

The former eldest son of the Lyresas family
Interesting way to phrase it. Technically, Saya still is the eldest son, but there are schemes to get rid of him and make Wells the next family head.

veteran who returned from the Interdimensional Battlefield with supreme honor
Well, it's a one time thing. This phrase won't come back, supreme honor 至高榮耀 appears only once, in this chapter, and even honor 榮耀 only appear twice in chapters 500-646: once in this chapter and once in chapter #608 where someone swears "on the honor of the Star Spirit Flower Flower family".
