But before Roland could further experience the perception that had been amplified by tens of thousands of times, there was a new change outside the Bottomless Land.
Through his perception that had been amplified by tens of thousands of times, he immediately 'saw' a cylindrical object with two perfectly round ends rising from the bottom of the sea, rapidly rising towards the surface.
Soon, the object traversed over a thousand meters of seawater and peeked its head out of the sea. Its size was the size of dozens of islands, and its length was even more astonishing. Due to its massive size, its emergence caused the seawater to surge, forming a whirlpool with a radius of a hundred kilometers in the north of the Bottomless Land.
And its movement did not stop there.
As though it was weightless, the cylindrical object rose from the surface of the sea into the air without any delay. It maintained a constant acceleration as it flew faster and faster, and soon, it surpassed the height of Eleanor Floating Island. Everyone on the island noticed this incredible scene. The towering cylinder had no flames around it, nor was there any rumbling sound from its thrusters. Its ascent could be said to be silent, but at this moment, the silence served to accentuate its extraordinariness.
Roland realized that it was the core of the Custodian.
A few minutes later, the cylindrical object made contact with the Cradle's barrier. Roland witnessed the entire process of it leaving the planet from multiple angles. It wasn't a collision, nor was it an opening in the barrier for it to pass through. Instead, the latter was like a soft membrane that covered the cylindrical object, and as it rose, it extended upwards, perfectly filling in every gap.
When the two separated, the barrier returned to its original state.
And after the cylindrical object entered space, it adjusted its direction slightly and suddenly accelerated. For a split second, its body seemed to be elongated, like a thin belt of light. The next moment, it vanished without a trace, as though it had never existed.
Roland could not help but shake his head.
He did not even say goodbye. Was this the style of a pure Logic entity?
Not long ago, it had insisted on rebooting the entire world, and now that it had made the decision, it ran towards the crack without any reluctance. Just this decisiveness and action alone was probably something few lifeforms could compare to.
The most severe crisis that humanity had ever faced had finally been resolved.
However, this did not mean that he could relax. There were still many problems that needed to be solved, such as his promise to Tilly and the agreement with the demons.
Not only did the number of things he had to consider not decrease, it had instead increased.
After all, he had previously only cared about the gains and losses of humanity, but now, he had to consider the future of the only life in the universe.
While adapting to this new "body," Roland initiated several search processes. He used them to investigate the regulations related to the Battle of Divine Will, the ripple records in the Realm of Mind, and the general situation of the living species in the Cradle.
The first thing he needed to do was to turn off the function of the legacy shard.
In this way, the Battle of Divine Will could finally be considered to have come to an end.
As for the demons, Roland planned to separate a continent for them to live on as long as he had the resources to do so. The distance between the two continents wouldn't be too far, but it wouldn't be too close either. It might be a good idea to have a double star system similar to the Earth and the Moon.
While searching the Cradle, Roland made another unexpected discovery. A mutated creature similar to a Nest Mother had actually escaped the Custodian's orders. It was curled up in the mud at the bottom of the sea in fear, only revealing a few eyes to look around. Very quickly, he traced back history and found that it was the monster that had once visited the western region of Graycastle.
It seemed that even if it was a life created according to his own will, it would still head in an unpredictable direction due to small changes over a long period of time. After some thought, he finally decided to leave it behind. Once the demons left, humans would have a long period of time to live in a stable world. However, he did not want the Cradle to become a complete greenhouse. Some competition might not be a bad thing.
The Custodian had already proven that relying purely on bloody battles of life and death was not an effective way for a civilization to grow. The path he wanted to take next required careful planning.
In addition, he needed to review the past events of the civilization that existed in his Memory Core. Be it to increase his knowledge or draw inspiration, it would definitely be of great help.
He also needed to adjust the Realm of Mind to maintain the balance between the growth of the witches and the Dream World. Fortunately, abolishing the core after the Battle of Divine Will would free up a lot of space, so he did not need to face this thorny problem now.
Just as Roland was overwhelmed by the large amount of information, a scene caused him to instantly stop what he was doing.
It was a scene that came from the interior of the Cradle.
In the corridor outside the core of the Cradle, two women and a demon seemed to be waiting for something.
Roland immediately felt an indescribable warmth surge in his heart. He enlarged the scene and slowly "reached out" his hand to wipe the two's cheeks.
… So they were the ones who had sent him here.
From the first day he arrived in this world, he had formed an indissoluble bond with the two. After interacting for a long period of time, he had already gotten used to their existence. Previously, when he fused with his consciousness and became the Cradle, he had always felt that something was missing. Only after seeing this scene did Roland realize what he was missing.
Indeed, in the next hundred million years, he would probably be unable to leave the Cradle. Perhaps, as the Custodian had said, it would be a long period of despair, but he was not afraid.
The greatest difference between him and the Custodian was that no matter how long the future was, he would not spend it alone.
…
…
…
Five years later.
Graycastle, City of Neverwinter, Shallow Water Harbor.
As the heart of the human kingdom, it was undoubtedly the world's busiest harbor, with tens of thousands of people entering and leaving daily. To ensure that the harbor would not be clogged, other than continuing to expand along the coastline, the Administrative Office had also established a large-scale public transportation system.
Tang En was one of them.
He was once a merchant from the City of Evernight and had helped the First Army deal with the Moya Coalition. He did not expect the Administrative Office to record this merit and find him after the war. After knowing that he could get a house in the Royal City of Graycastle, he had eagerly brought his wife and children over. Everyone knew that Neverwinter was good, but the cost of settling down was too high. Since he had such an opportunity, how could he miss it?
As for the small business that could only earn him a little, Tang En could not be bothered to manage it. Instead, he turned to the Administrative Office for employment training and became a taxi driver.
That's right, even though he had interacted with the people of Neverwinter long ago, he did not expect them to be so advanced. A taxi was essentially similar to a carriage, but the latter could only be owned by extremely wealthy nobles. In the Royal City, a taxi was a part of public transportation. Public transportation!
In other words, as long as they paid, anyone could experience such a grand and luxurious enjoyment.
Of course, there were also much cheaper large buses that could fit close to a hundred people at a time. However, compared to a taxi that left immediately after boarding, the buses that left at a fixed time and did not even have a seat seemed a little shabby.
After the taxi in front had boarded, it was finally Tang En's turn. Other than his fixed salary, he also received a large sum of money as a reward for sending off customers. Hence, it was always a good thing to be able to wait for customers as soon as possible.
"Click." The car door was pulled open skillfully. A tall woman first threw her luggage into the back seat, then bent over and entered the car.
Tang En looked through the rearview mirror and saw that the other party was wearing an avant-garde jacket and canvas pants. She even wore a cap and sunglasses. It was obvious that she was a loyal customer of the Rainbow Stones. However, what was slightly strange was that he did not see the Rainbow Stones logo on her clothes.
"Excuse me, where are you going? The bag in the back seat contains a city map and prices. "
"I think the King's Castle in Neverwinter hasn't been demolished yet, right? If it's still there, I'll go there, "the woman replied in a capable and straightforward voice.
