Must Keep Moving Forward

The result made all the decision-makers aboard the Lyra frown.

"Did Tianhe Light make a mistake in the match?"

"Could it be a coincidence?"

"Th-This is too much of a coincidence!"

For a moment, everyone aboard the Lyra voiced their incredulous astonishment. Of all places it could have matched, it had to be the target star region of humanity's journey.

Judging from the star chart retrieved and matched by Tianhe Light, it did not completely overlap with the chart humanity had obtained from the Precursor's Rhomboid Crystal. But if the defined range of the star region was expanded somewhat, they were one and the same region.

The star chart given to humanity by the Rhomboid Crystal contained five stars, while the region shown on the Numeral Star Chart had seven, three of which overlapped.

And the star system whose internal details had been displayed was one of those three stars.

That was precisely why everyone had cried out about the coincidence.

Yue Yuan also paced back and forth through the hall where the scientists had gathered, his brow furrowed as he repeatedly muttered to himself, This was completely unexpected!

Indeed, humanity had been extremely cautious all along the way, afraid of being discovered by other civilizations and having their exploration of the Small Universe left behind by the Precursor disrupted. Yet they had never expected another civilization to already be there.

The feeling was deeply unpleasant. It was as if all their caution along the way had been wasted.

"Director, based on the range of Tachyon Detection, as long as we do not head directly for the star system they marked, we may not be discovered. We can search the nearby star systems first. They are within the range shown on the Precursor's star chart anyway," a military officer said
