According to the surveillance records, the warship was taking part in a battle before it was abandoned. The whole control hall was busy. Hundreds of officers and commanders at all levels commanded the fleet in the hall in an orderly and tense atmosphere.
Then, without warning, the three beams of light in the center of the hall seemed to be disturbed by something and suddenly became blurred. A large number of interference waves also appeared on the monitoring screen. When these footages stabilized, Hao Ren saw a mass of thick liquid substance suddenly appear in the center of the footage.
He could not see how the liquid appeared in the hall due to intense interference, but he guessed that it might be teleported there. The liquid was not fixed in shape, floating and constantly twisting in the air like a living slime. It caused total chaos in the hall as soon as it appeared.
Hao Ren saw the commanders noticing the intruder in the hall and all of them immediately appeared panicked. The operators jumped from the seats and rushed to the nearest exit while several officers began shouting, trying to control the situation. A lot of the soldiers ran in. They rushed to the liquid under the orders of the commander, but no one dared to get close to the weird stuff. The orderly control center turned chaotic in just a few seconds, and everybody was shouting and yelling. Hao Ren could only roughly understand some words from those chaotic cries.
“It found us!”
“Abandon the spaceship! Run!”
“Everybody calm down! It’s just debris!”
“Don’t forget why we’re here! Get it out of here and keep fighting!”
And everyone in the control hall was in a panic. The floating liquid did not do anything at all. It was just quietly floating in the middle of three beams of light, seemed to be pondering something and twisting slowly. After the chaos lasted for a while, it started to move again and drifted slowly toward the exit of the hall. But it still ignored everyone around.
The liquid was moving to a corner. As it drifted slowly towards the door, a terrified officer suddenly jumped. The officer seemed to think that the liquid was directed at him, and his first reaction in the great panic was to attack it. Hao Ren saw him suddenly pulled out a wand, summoning a dazzling lightning ball and throwing it at the liquid.
The lightning ball collided with the red liquid but the lightning ball was annihilated before it could cause the slightest ripple. Then, a red light burst out of the liquid and hit the officer. The officer trembled violently as if he was struck by thunder. The wand in his hand turned to ashes instantly, and his whole body was rapidly suffused with a layer of faint red mist. The mist was actually the boiling blood that was transpired from each pore. The blood in his body began to boil, leaving the body and floating toward the red liquid in the air, and his skin was turning pale and withered. In just a few seconds, the handsome officer had turned into a corpse. He fell to the ground with great horror, losing a lot of blood and his skin shriveled and pale like a zombie.
Right where they found the body.
“This is not an ordinary fragment! This could be a soul fragment! Don’t attack! Don’t attack!” the guards immediately shouted.
A senior officer, who looked like a captain, appeared in the footage. After realizing that the situation was out of control, he finally shouted, “Notifying all crew, abandon the ship and escape! Leave the bridge, all of you! Stay focused, don’t attack!”
All the crew in the control center fled the place in a panic. A moment later, Hao Ren heard a broadcast coming from the footage, “The flagship No.3 is watched by the gods! Please abandon the ship!”
“So this is how they evacuated,” Lily blinked and said, “that thing looks like lifeblood. And those treacherous children looked pretty scared of it.”
Hao Ren did not respond. He was still staring at the surveillance footage because it was not finished yet.

After all the officers in the hall were evacuated, the liquid was still floating silently in the air. It stopped moving after the attack as if it was startled. It did not pursue and attack those treacherous children, nor did it destroy the equipment on the spaceship. Although they saw it as a scourge, it seemed to have no tendency to attack any of them. It was just floating there quietly and a few minutes later, it trembled as if it were waking from a dream, and then drifting towards the door.
Then, a communicator in the hall suddenly lit up and a woman appeared on the holographic projection. The moment Hao Ren saw the holographic projection, he felt that the woman on the projection looked familiar.
“Flagship No.3, report your situation… Flagship No.3… What’s this?”
The woman appearing on the communicator did not seem to know what happened to the flagship No.3 and kept calling for responses. Then, she stopped abruptly. She froze when she saw the red liquid floating in the air.
The red liquid was also startled by the holographic projection that suddenly popped up. It then immediately leaned towards it with great interest and then twisting itself before the projection. At first, Hao Ren did not know what it wanted to do, but soon he saw that there were other colors and things appearing in the liquid. It slowly elongated, ‘growing’ hands and feet and clothes, simulating the skin color and fabric texture. It created long hair for itself, but it was not satisfied and kept adjusting the hair. Hao Ren finally realized what the liquid was doing: It was imitating the woman who appeared on the communicator.
The woman on the holographic projection finally realized what she was looking at. She screamed and then cut off the line directly.
The liquid had transformed into a human. The newly formed woman was startled by the scream. She had not had time to fully adjust her appearance to look exactly the same as the one appearing on the holographic projection, so she was a little annoyed. She was not looked exactly the same as the woman she was trying to copy, but now she looked exactly the same as the one Hao Ren knew: Vivian.
‘Vivian’ was only frustrated for a while and soon forgot about it. She looked at the clothes she was wearing with a look of satisfaction on her face, and then she imitated the voice she had just heard and shouted to the empty hall, “Flagship No.3, FlagshipNo.3…”
No one answered, so she clapped her hands and opened a teleportation portal in the air, striding in and muttering, “What is this… What is this…”
And the surveillance footage ended here.
Hao Ren, Lily, and Y’zaks were totally stunned. After a while, Lily suddenly jumped up as if someone had stepped on her tail and exclaimed, “That’s battie! That’s battie, right?”
“You think so?” Hao Ren asked, then pinched his face and it hurt. “WTF! I thought I was wrong… That’s Vivian!”
Lily was jumping up and down for a moment and then suddenly jumped to Hao Ren, grabbing his sleeve and said, “Landlord, I want to call battie! Give her a call now! I have something important to tell her!”
Hao Ren handed the data terminal to her and said, “Connect the home landline.”
Lily waited for a while, and Vivian finally answered the phone, “Hello?”
“Battie!” Data terminal was startled by Lily’s shriek. “I just witnessed how you were born!”
“Doggie, you’re crazy! You called me across the universe just to say this?” yelled Vivian and hung up the phone.
Hao Ren also thought that Lily was crazy, but he could understand her feeling now as he himself was not really able to remain calm either. When Lily finally calmed down, he touched his chin and muttered, “If it’s true, what we just saw is how Vivian was born, and we finally found the evidence.”
