Old Zhao, take a look at this!
Lingling suddenly exclaimed.
Zhao Manyan was still lost in his thoughts. He quickly went up to Lingling when he heard her yelling.
There was a diagram of celestial bodies on Lingling’s laptop. Lingling had processed the diagram and discovered that the distribution of the ancient celestial bodies matched the geographical distribution of the pyramids!

Celestial bodies and the pyramids, this article was proven to be valid. Every pyramid in Egypt corresponds to a star in the galaxy. These stars are constantly moving, but they will return to their initial position on a certain day, and the position corresponds to the location of an ancient pyramid. They are called the Star Coordinates,
Lingling said.

Holy crap, how could I possibly understand something so complicated? There are so many stars in the sky! Wouldn’t a random latrine pit that those Egyptians built in the past correspond to the coordinates of a star, too? It’s too vague of a statement,
Zhao Manyan protested.

No no no, someone did deduce the distribution graph of the pyramids… give me a second, I’ll verify it now,
Lingling quickly typed on the laptop. She was switching between images at such an insane speed that Zhao Manyan’s eyes were dazed.
A moment later, Lingling came up with a set of Star Coordinates. If Mo Fan was looking at them, he would just assume them to be normal latitude and longitude coordinates, but the well-educated Zhao Manyan still knew the difference between mundane geography and Star Coordinates.

Isn’t this place the Qiqige Tribe’s town?
Zhao Manyan noticed that the coordinates were located in the town the Qiqige Tribe resided in.

Didn’t the old herdsman mention he saw a pyramid? Let’s verify if the Star Coordinates correspond to the location of a pyramid in Egypt,
Lingling said.

…
Zhao Manyan rolled his eyes. How were they supposed to verify it? The calculations involved already sounded extremely complicated.
Most importantly, if the stars were constantly moving, how was it possible for the land of Egypt to correspond to the same Star Coordinates as the land of China?

These are the Star Coordinates of every pyramid in Egypt. Luckily, General Fenna included them in the information she provided. I believe it’s part of their military secrets,
Lingling nattered on.
Here is the formula to calculate the orbit of a star…

Zhao Manyan’s head was spinning. How could they possibly know which star they should be looking at?
To his surprise, Lingling quickly entered the Qiqige Tribe’s coordinates. The laptop immediately filtered out the stars that would appear in the sky above the coordinates throughout every season.
The old herdsman kept mentioning how the pyramid had shown up where the statue of Qiqige was located, allowing Lingling to get the precise coordinates for it. There were quite a number of stars that directly corresponded to it throughout the year. The filtered results had more than ten pages.
A lot of the names were in English. Zhao Manyan did not have any interest in astronomy. He had no clue what the stars were.

Alright, we’ve filtered out the stars that would pass by the coordinates of the statue,
Lingling’s eyes were glittering. She was in an extremely focused state.

What’s next, little fairy?
Zhao Manyan prodded her.

It’s simple; we just need to match them with the stars that correspond to the coordinates of every pyramid in Egypt!
Lingling said.
Zhao Manyan found it extremely difficult to believe. First, there were so many stars that would pass by the coordinates of Qiqige’s statue. The filtered results did not really mean anything. Second, they were not sure if the pyramids actually corresponded to the stars. Even if they were, how were the two even related?

Found it! It’s a star called Unas,
Lingling looked excited. She pointed at the star that matched the criteria.

The Pyramid of Unas?
Zhao Manyan scrolled down the information and was surprised to see there was actually a pyramid called Unas!

We’re pretty lucky. It happens to be a pyramid that is named after the star, which also means everything the old herdsman said is the truth,
Lingling stated.

Holy crap, Lingling, you’re unbelievable!
Zhao Manyan was utterly impressed by Lingling’s intelligence.
Anyone would have a headache reading the ancient records, yet Lingling was able to find out which pyramid had appeared at the town of Qiqige Tribe.
It was unlikely that everything was just a mere coincidence. Lingling had filtered out the orbits of the stars and found a match through them. In terms of probability, the number of stars that the pyramids in Egypt corresponded to were around a hundred, and among the countless stars, only one had matched the criteria. The only explanation was, the theory behind the relation between the pyramids and the stars was right!

I’ll ask General Fenna right away!
Zhao Manyan quickly contacted Fenna after learning the name of the pyramid.

General Fenna immediately sent her men to investigate the Pyramid of Unas in Egypt.
The area within a hundred kilometers from a pyramid was forbidden, thus no one would know if a pyramid had disappeared. However, someone among the Hunters in the area might have noticed something unusual.
As they thought, someone from Egypt’s Hunter Union said there was indeed a strange glow coming from the territory of the undead around the Pyramid of Unas. When the glow appeared, the undead close to the pyramid went under the ground and disappeared. The pyramid’s outline became faint for some time too, but the others assumed it was pure nonsense.
However, it suddenly become the most convincing proof!
The Pyramid of Unas did disappear for a moment. The Hunter had also seen the undead disappearing into the ground. Meanwhile, undead had shown up at Qiqige Town and the old herdsman had seen a pyramid at the corresponding Star Coordinates. It clearly hinted that the Pyramid of Unas did appear in their country!

Unbelievable…
Zhao Manyan took a deep breath.
He still could not believe it had really happened. He wanted to think that the people of the Black Vatican had only found a way to open a rift to the Realm of the Undead, allowing the creatures of the Underworld to stir some trouble in their world. The appearance of the pyramid sounded impossible, and yet he had started to believe it now.
It was not just a mirage, it was the real pyramid!
They were only up against an illusion of the pyramid during the battle in Egypt. The undead they faced were only those that were living in the outer area of the pyramid. The whole army was on the brink of being wiped out because a Dark Swordmaster had accidentally shown up…
But now, it was hard to tell if the Triangle Dimensional Mirror could only produce the mirage of a pyramid, or if it could actually move the real pyramid to their country. After all, the Underworld Monarch Frogs would not just follow the mirages around, since their job was to move a real pyramid!

Was the Underworld Monarch Frog we killed moving the Pyramid of Unas?
Zhao Manyan asked.
Lingling shook her head and said,
The Pyramid of Unas is just a small pyramid. A single Underworld Monarch Frog is enough to move it.


Then…then what exactly is the pyramid we are about to face?
Zhao Manyan asked.

Assuming the theory of the Star Coordinates is right, I can list the stars corresponding to the pyramids in Egypt that will pass by the North Valley soon. There are around a hundred stars corresponding to the pyramids in Egypt. I believe the odds of them passing by our country are extremely low. Unas is already one of them, and it happened to be right above Qiqige Town at night half a month ago. If any stars passing by our country around this time correspond to a pyramid in Egypt, it’s most likely the pyramid that the Underworld Monarch Frog’s chains were tied to!
Lingling declared.

Mmm, go ahead,
Zhao Manyan nodded.

General Bin Wei and Ye Hong came inside while they were busy finding out the truth. They were extremely tired. As the commanders of the Northguard Fortress, they were usually the last people to get some rest.
They only came after settling everything in the Northguard Fortress. They were not simple-minded people, and they wanted to know what exactly was going on, too.
Zhao Manyan explained their discoveries to them while Lingling was busy with the calculations.
General Bin Wei and Ye Hong were completely dumbfounded after listening to Zhao Manyan. They were lost for words for a long time.
A pyramid!
An undead ruler’s palace in Egypt actually appeared in their country! It was unbelievable!

We’ve contacted Egypt and verified that the Pyramid of Unas did behave unusually,
Zhao Manyan stated.

It’s so difficult to believe it, but after everything that happened, I would rather believe that it actually happened,
Ye Hong said.

Mmm, the appearance of the Underworld Monarch Frog is enough to prove how serious the situation is,
General Bin Wei agreed.

You’ve done the right thing, asking the cities behind us to be evacuated. If a pyramid does appear, all the Northguard Fortress can do is to buy some time,
Ye Hong said.

Unfortunately, it’s not that easy to execute the order. I wonder if a week is enough for the people to be evacuated to Feihuang City,
Bin Wei sighed.
The people were unaware of the danger involved. Even if everything was exactly as they had deduced, they still lacked the evidence to prove it. The people were likely reluctant to understand and follow the evacuation order…
The problem was… would they still have time to run when they saw an army of undead charging at them?
Smash! Lingling’s laptop suddenly fell from the table and smashed on the ground.
The loud crash gave the other three a great fright as they were discussing the terrifying truth. They quickly turned around, noticing that Lingling did not even care to pick up the laptop. Her face was extremely pale, while her eyes were filled with disbelief and fear!

Lingling?
Zhao Manyan’s heart skipped a beat when he saw Lingling’s face.
‘Is there really a star corresponding to a pyramid that is passing by our country soon?
General Bin Wei asked quietly.
Lingling nodded.

What star is it?
Ye Hong asked, even more softly.

Orion…
Lingling lifted her eyes. Her pupils were unfocused. She stared at Ye Hong, Zhao Manyan, and General Bin Wei silently for a moment before saying, even she was struggling to believe it,
The pyramid that Orion corresponds to is… Giza!

When Lingling mentioned the name
Giza
, it felt like a ferocious tide was suddenly coming down at them from the icy night sky… making their souls shiver in fright!
