Chapter 499: Hao Ren’s Long Term Omen

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Regardless of the tragic and terrible disaster that took place here 10,000 years ago, no matter what kind of chaotic power the planet was once shrouded in, it had now become an eternal place of serenity—at least it was the case for the life on this planet.

After resetting the entire ecosystem, the First Born seemed to have withered after completed its mission. Hao Ren did not know whether this 'whithering' process was a predetermined setting, he needed to find a third planet which was consumed by the First Born in order to determine it. But at least in Tannagost, the First Born had become a wreckage that spread throughout the planet. It fed the third season ecosystem with its body which was filled with nutrition and primitive energy. Its powerful soul energy whithered and vanished with the body. Hao Ren observed the sky with the spiritual vision he had just acquired and found the spiritual residual of the First Born.

The electromagnetic wave of the vengeful spirit was the only thing floating on this devastated and slowly-recovering planet. The ancient souls who had lost themselves only occasionally remembered the glory of Tannaean Civilization in their flapdoodles. The vengeful spirits would only become frantic when aliens invaded the planet, or they themselves were transmitted through the ancient spatial fissure into the real world. However, as long as no one disturbed them, they were actually incredibly calm.

"The vengeful spirit is a mixture, an error, and an electromagnetic wave that records a large amount of data. If we could build enough 'broadcast' towers on this planet, it's possible to re-direct this turbulent energy," Hao Ren led everyone out of the rubble of the city hall. He stood on a mound nearby as he looked at the distant mountains. "Then let's solve the problem of the vengeful spirit from the root. Do you have any similar devices, MDT?"

"Looks like the basic work has been done very well lately and you start to think on your own." The MDT rarely complimented Hao Ren directly. "There is no directly available equipment, but the R&D host computer of the Petrachelys should be able to design such energy tower. The energy tower requires only a few ultra-high-power filter coils and a suitable computing device. The spacecraft's synthesis plant and autonomous robots could handle the production and installation jobs."

Lily wagged her tail and said, "Then will these vengeful spirits be restored back to their original Tannaean selves?"

"No, the Tannaeans have gone extinct. We could only let those vengeful spirits turn into an harmless energy back to the world it belongs." Hao Ren shook his head and then turned and instructed the MDT. "Go and arrange the necessary manufacturing and installation equipment. You are in charge of the onboard plant this time around."

The MDT took a shot on Hao Ren's shoulder. "Just like you used to command."

Hao Ren replied, "...Not that I can be serious every time. Couldn't you jsut let me?"

"I still can't figure out how the spatial fissure connects to Earth." A thought suddenly crossed Vivian's mind. "Judging from the technological capability of the Tannaeans, they didn't have the ability to cross the Wall of Reality."

"That kind of dimensinal door is originally a short-distance teleporting gatewat used on the surface of the planets. It's power output is very low," Hao Ren nodded. "The activity of the First Born might have caused changes to the portals, but anyway, the portals are still under the control of the resonance stone. Anyway, if there's any unexplained question, we could always attribute it to the First Born."

Becky took a look at Hao Ren and then Vivian, making sure that they had finished their dicussion before she raised her hand slowly. "Can I say something?"

Hao Ren and Vivian spoke in unison, "Yes, please!"

"As the works of tomb-raiding and saving the world have come to an end, is it time to discuss the question of sending me home?" Becky rubbed her hands, and her eyes glowed in gold. "Oh... You guys have promised to send me home once a stable door is found! Now are we not in The Plane of Dreams? We don't have to worry about temporary residence permit which is only valid for half a month anymore! Please quickly think of a way to send me home. There is still a large piece of menor waiting for me to claim."

Then only Hao Ren realised the issue about Becky. He smacked his forehead and looked at the mercenary girl with a weird expression. "I really didn't realise that I could send you back so soon. It's so surreal."

"Don't covet my beauty until you're not willing to send me back." Becky became nervous and deadpan when she saw Hao Ren's expression. "You promised to pay for all transportation..."

Hao Ren glared at her and said, "Am I a man who doesn't keep his word? MDT, check how far away Holletta is from here."

He did not make the decision to send Becky back on a whim. Instead, he realized that all the origins of The First Born—the secret of the goddess of creation must be revealed quickly, and no doubt that The Disciples of Glory of Holletta must have possessed some clues. Plus he still had to deal with the two sleeping First Borns, he must go and take this opportunity to get everything done once and for all.

"Well," suddenly the MDT spoke. "Let's just wait for a moment, the coordinates I set in Holetta was disturbed by the information of the Surface World. It's not the same as the current state The Plane of Dreams is in now. I need to run some calculations to convert the two's mapping relationships. Please wait."

Becky was bouncing off the walls when she thought of her noble manor estate which was already at her fingertips. But anyway, after all the experience of the city of gold, she was more restrained as she only whispered to herself.

Hao Ren looked at her, from beside her. Looks like Becky would have to re-adapt for a few days more before she could actually go home. Look at her—does she even have a bit of bumpkinness in her like she used to be? The way she spoke the earth's vocabulary—headline news, paid-for ticket, temporary residence permit—it wasn't entirely improbable that she would be deemed as someone who was suffered from brain damage after exploring the relics, and sent to mental hospital when she returned to Holletta.

The MDT had completed the conversion, figuring out the real, relative position between Becky's hometown and the plane of Tannagost. It flew ove Hao Ren's head. "Are we teleporting or flying over? We could still catch some sceneries if we fly in spacecraft while finding out other planets along the way. But teleportation will save you time."

Hao Ren gestured with his mouth telling the MDT to look at Becky who was becoming impatient. "If we go by spacecraft, I'm afraid she would wreck the whole control console."

"Well, then teleport..."

"Wait a second," something suddenly crossed Hao Ren's mind as he stopped the MDT. "I need to prepare for the future."

Hao Ren led his clueless partners to the entrance where they had come from, the spatial fissure beneath Andrea Castle. He glanced at the empty square around him and then took out a set of teleportation equipment from his dimensional pocket—the same type which he used in his own basement. He then summoned several autonomous robots to install the equipment next to the spatial fissure, and set up a simple protective layer around it with a beam barrier so that the entire spatial fissure and teleportation equipment were shrouded in it. No wild life would be able to trespass—if there were any.

"This is a simple base." Hao Ren clapped his hands in satisfaction. He then scanned the square. "I will renovate the square and turn it into a base next time... at least transforming it into a small station. This is the key entrance to The Plane of Dreams from the real world. It should be built up nicely."

"Are you addicted with building stuff? You've even said you wanted to build an ice town on the snowfield," Vivian said. "It sounds awesome, though. Where is the teleportation equipment? Are we going home?"

'No, it's still a bit dangerous to use the teleportation equipment to travel directly between the real world and The Plane of Dreams. This teleportation equipment is an escape route in The Plane of Dreams," Hao Ren said of his plan. "I'm going to place the first node in Hollerta. We can expect we will traverse frequently in The Plane of Dreams, leaving a node for each new location will make travel much easier. After all, it's less efficient and not very comfortable to teleport using the MDT."

Vivian seemed to have guessed Hao Ren's long-term plan. She looked at Hao Ren curiously. "You are planning for the future?"

"I have a hunch," Hao Ren smiled. "Just be prepared. We might need it... There may be times when we couldn't depend on the ad hoc setups. And to be honest, it's interesting to build houses.."

After leaving behind the teleportation equipment, Hao Ren patted the MDT and said, "Let's go and surprise Marshal Opra."
