After observation and calculation, the distance from Mars to Earth is approximately 70 million kilometers. The Kairou Command Ship travels through space at a speed of 70,000 kilometers per hour, close to the fourth cosmic velocity. At this speed, it would take over forty days to reach Earth.
After three days of preparation, Kairuoka and his group were ready to depart.
Early in the morning, Kairou Marie and her entourage waited anxiously for half a day at the docking bay next to Kairo Chief's residence, but they did not see Kairou Command Ship come to pick them up.
Kai Ruo Yu Qi understood that Kairuoka could not take these servants along with him. His elopement with Fair Connie was, after all, a scandal, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
In her capacity as leader, she contacted Kairuoka through military channels—just as she suspected, Kairuoka had already piloted the ship out of Mars and was now flying at high speed in space. It was absolutely impossible for him to turn back. The couple exchanged a few words filled with unspoken understanding, their pleasantries and blessings tinged with a subtle sadness.
Putting down the communicator, the strong Kai Ruo Yu Qi couldn't help but let tears well up in her eyes. She could only swallow her feelings—she knew that the matter between Kairuoka and Fair Connie could only be quietly resolved on Earth. If it became public, Kairuoka would be ruined; not only would he lose his position as leader, but all their current wealth and glory would vanish... Letting Kairuoka go was now the best choice, even if it broke her heart.

The Kairuoka's Command Ship flew through space for over forty days until a blue planet combining land and sea came into view; they had finally arrived above the Earth they had longed for.
The Command Ship passed through Earth's atmosphere like a massive fireball heading straight for a tropical jungle in Central America. With a loud "boom," the battleship landed in a clearing within the jungle and immediately transformed into a Giant Robot. Thirty-two blades extended from its body, cutting down surrounding trees one by one. After clearing a large area, the battleship transformed into a tower-like structure.
The series of phenomena caused by the battleship's descent startled the local Indigenous People, who believed they had angered the gods and that the end of the world was approaching...
As the battleship transformed into a tower and gradually calmed down, these Indigenous People began to approach slowly. Some brave individuals even stepped forward to touch it out of curiosity, marveling at this strange structure before them.
Kairuoka intended to land in a desolate wilderness, but was surrounded by these Indigenous People from the tribe. Although it wasn't the most ideal situation, he had no reservations about it.
Kairuoka opened the cabin door and walked down the Spiral Staircase. Before him, he saw a group of Indigenous People kneeling, bowing to him in worship, murmuring something he couldn't understand.
At that moment, the tall and sturdy leader among them stepped forward, gesturing with his hands while speaking to Kairuoka. Kairuoka guessed that this must be the Chieftain. From their respectful demeanor, it was clear that these Indigenous People regarded him as a deity and welcomed his arrival warmly.
"Thank you," Kairuoka said politely, joining his palms and nodding.
Once everything was confirmed safe, Fair Connie also stepped out slowly. She politely bowed to everyone, which caused a stir among the Indigenous People; they had never seen a beautiful woman with golden hair and blue eyes dressed in a splendid gown. To them, Fair Connie appeared as a noble celestial being.
To show goodwill, Kairuoka took out some molecular compressed food from the warship and distributed it to the surrounding Indigenous People.
The Indigenous People had never seen such well-packaged and exquisitely made food. They didn't know what it was and were hesitant to refuse it. Eventually, they held it in their hands like hot potatoes, staring at Kairuoka with bewildered expressions, unsure of what he wanted them to do.
Kairuoka demonstrated by opening one of the food packages and eating it himself. Although the Indigenous People's cognitive abilities were not highly developed, they were quick to imitate him and began to eat as well. For these Indigenous People who were still accustomed to raw meat and blood, this was undoubtedly a delicacy. As soon as they tasted the strange food, expressions of ecstasy appeared on their faces, gradually easing the earlier tension.
After watching the Indigenous People eat while singing and dancing for a while, Kairuoka finally waved his hand for everyone to stop and listen to him: "We come from far away Mars and hope to find a place to settle here. Please do us a favor and leave us a quiet area to live in; we would be very grateful."
The Indigenous People perked up their ears to listen but had no idea what Kairuoka was saying. Kairuoka gestured for a long time, but the Indigenous People continued shaking their heads, indicating they did not understand.
Kairuoka had no choice but to slow down his movements while gesturing slowly and saying: "We are Martians. Do you understand? Martians." He elongated his words slowly: "Mar—s—..."
Before he could finish saying "people," the Indigenous People heard that the pronunciation of "Martians" sounded similar to "Maya," and they began shouting excitedly, "Maya! Maya!..."
Due to the poor communication, Kairuoka could only watch helplessly as these Indigenous People jumped and shouted "Maya!"
From then on, Kairuoka became synonymous with Maya on Earth...
