"So this is the true meaning of 'the impossible.' So, you sent out invitations under the name of ' The Watchmaker ' to find the faction that can resolve the Stellaron crisis and lure them to Penacony to discover the truth?" Himeko asked.

"Moreover, what I'd like to see even more is the constant fighting among the various factions over the inheritance. Coupled with the ' Watchmaker's ' first public statement in over a decade, the 'traitor' within the Family is bound to be exposed."

"They probably never imagined that the traitor they called the Dream Master was actually the Dream Master himself, and that he had even betrayed ' Propagation '..." Hanxing hesitated, wondering whether he should tell the Astral Express Crew about these things. He then glanced at Firefly, who had been silent all along, and gave her a look that told him to keep it a secret. He then continued to listen.

"So, the 'legacy' is really just a facade..." For some reason, March 7th's voice revealed a hint of regret. "If you want to treat the Stellaron as an inheritance, I have no objection," Gallagher joked.

"So, where is that Stellaron now?" Himeko asked again. "That's a question for that winged brat. The Stellaron has always been under the control of the Family, and he's the head of the Oak Family, so he must know perfectly well," Gallagher replied, pointing the finger at Sunday.

"But speaking of which..." Welt's gaze turned to Hanxing: "You were the one who first told us that the legacy was Stellaron, could it be... that you possess some secret information?"

"How could that be..." Hanxing laughed awkwardly, "This was just a lie I told you to lure you in. I didn't even know what the inheritance was, really."

"Alright, let's ask the people who have a clearer answer..." Gallagher sighed, then turned to the two people on Sunday: "Have you two finished talking? So, are you willing to tell us where that ' Stellaron ' is?"

"Hoo..." Sunday took a deep breath and slowly said, "It... is the Penacony Grand Theater itself." "Just as I thought, the embodiment of the Family, the building that first appeared in my dreams... it is the culprit that made Penacony what it is now." Robin sighed, wondering why she hadn't thought of this possibility sooner.

"And the person who used the Stellaron to accomplish all this... is probably Mr. Gopher Wood, who is now the ' Dream Master.'" Hearing Sunday's words, Hanxing was somewhat surprised, thinking to herself, "He guessed the mastermind so quickly, this guy is not simple... Hmm, wait, wasn't Robin there? How could I forget about her?"

"Oh, it went even more smoothly than I expected, identifying the suspect so quickly. Or did you do a thorough investigation beforehand?" Gallagher's voice held a hint of approval, but Sunday continued, "You're right. When tracking down the 'murderer' who killed my sister, besides you... he was my second most suspected person."

"It seems your decision to confront me first was quite correct." Gallagher smiled helplessly, but spoke again on Sunday: "I had no other choice. The Dream Master is always elusive, even the heads of the families rarely get to see him. Besides... Mr. Gopher Wood has been kind to my sister and me, and I really don't want to face this outcome."

"What do you mean?" Himeko asked curiously. "To be honest, my brother and I are also victims of the Cancer of All Worlds. We were orphans from a young age and were raised by the Family that came to our aid. Mr. Gopher Wood saw that we were capable, so he brought my brother and me to Penacony." The Robin paused, then made up her mind to continue:

"But we cannot stand by and watch Mr. Gopher Wood walk towards the opposite of ' Harmony,' and I certainly cannot use my singing to praise a sinful cause—no matter who the traitor in the Family is, no matter what orders he gives me, I will not go on stage to sing. We absolutely cannot turn the Charmony Festival into a ritual to Destruction ' Harmony '..."

"For our ideal paradise." As the Robin's final cry faded, Sunday responded somewhat casually, "Hmm... for our ideal paradise." He paused briefly, then continued, "As the head of the Oak Family, it is my duty to ensure a bright future for Penacony. The Robin and I will immediately head to Dreamland and try to confront the Dream Master. If the Family has truly strayed from ' Harmony '..."

Sunday's voice paused again, as if to declare his resolve, "I will stand with you all, end the Charmony Festival, and personally repay the blood debt owed by Mr. Gopher Wood."

Gallagher sounded somewhat worried upon hearing this, and then offered a suggestion. "The enemies you are about to face, or rather, your enemies, are not as easy to bully as this old dog of mine, who will fall apart at the slightest provocation... Since you all share a common goal, why not work together? Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope for success."

"We came here following in the footsteps of our predecessor, the Nameless, and there's no reason not to continue following in his footsteps." Himeko spoke first, followed closely by March 7th: "Yes, the Nameless wasn't the kind of person who would back down at the first sign of trouble! Sora, don't you think so?" "There's nothing to be afraid of anymore..."

For some reason, Qiong's words seemed to have a deeper meaning. "Hmm, you saying lines like that makes me a little flustered..." March 7th said with a hint of teasing. " The Astral Express Crew won't stand idly by in this matter. Mr. Sunday, Robin, I'm willing to represent the Astral Express and accompany you. With a third party present, negotiations should go more smoothly. If there's any danger... having one more person is always a good thing." With Welt's final statement, the Astral Express had confirmed that it was on Sunday's side.

"Then Mr. Welt will take care of things." "Thank you very much, everyone." With Sunday and Robin expressing their gratitude, the planned operation was finally about to begin. " The Charmony Festival is about to open, time is running out, everyone—we must set off."

" Hanxing, come over here!" Firefly gestured for Hanxing to come over and pulled Hanxing aside. "What's wrong?" Hanxing asked. "I feel like that Sunday... something's not quite right."

"Why do you think that?" Hanxing also vaguely sensed something, but didn't dare to say it outright. "There's a... strange aura about him." Firefly's intuition was always very accurate. "Speaking of which, can't you use the power of ' Harmony ' to investigate Path? Why don't you take a look now?"

"Alright." Hanxing's left eye, accompanied by blue-purple patterns as he glared at Sunday: "A large amount of ' Harmony,' a portion of ' Order,' and... a kind of Path energy I've never seen before: what's it called, 'rule'?"

"As expected, this guy is not simple." Firefly looked at Sunday with a hint of wariness.
