He had bid farewell to his familiar home. Ahead lay an unknown sea of stars.
The journey would span millions of light-years, with countless dangers lying in wait.
But to protect everything he cherished.
To awaken Ace.
To bring peace to the entire universe.
Lin Ye resolutely embarked on this lonely, perilous path.
The Star Shuttle hurtled through the void.
Through the viewport, Lin Ye saw countless unfamiliar galaxies.
Some shone brilliantly; others were dim and lightless.

After several days of spacetime jumps, the Star Shuttle finally reached the Andromeda Galaxy.
The sight beyond the viewport stunned Lin Ye.
Unlike the spiral-arm structure of the Milky Way, this place was filled with unusual binary star systems.
Pairs of stars circled one another, radiating dazzling light.
Nebulae spiraled like enormous whirlpools in the universe.
"So this is the Andromeda Galaxy..." Lin Ye marveled.
He took out the star chart and checked the Aries Mark's location.
The chart showed that the mark was sealed in the "Flame Starfield."
Aries, the Aries Guardian, had guarded it there for tens of thousands of years.
The shuttle changed course and flew toward the Flame Starfield.
As it drew closer, the temperature began to rise sharply.
An enormous fiery nebula surrounded the entire region, its temperature reaching tens of thousands of degrees.
Ordinary life forms could not even approach it.
"This heat..." Lin
