Muru's encounter had Hao Ren come to grips with the unusualness of the incident. The Umbral Realm he had been searching for all this time finally surfaced.
Muru received the distress signal from other guardians in meditation. However, this signal came from a place where it had theoretically fallen into the Umbral Realm with the Star of Creation. If the message was not forged, there was only one answer: the Umbral Realm and the main universe was connected again.
"I'm sure the signal is genuine," said Muru, dismissing Hao Ren's last bit of doubt. "Guardians have a special telepathic ability, designed by our mother. Unless another god was faking it, otherwise I was unlikely to have received a false signal."
Hao Ren looked serious. "Can you determine the coordinates of the source of the signal? Is the Gate of Solenne still in its place?"
