The divine blockade that had shrouded Collow for tens of millions of years was finally lifted.
Layers of ripples suddenly appeared in the vast material vacuum zone, and translucent illusory ripples spread out in every inch of space, as if the entire material vacuum zone had become a boundless ocean, and as these translucent illusory ripples filled the entire area and gradually showed a high degree of synchronization, all kinds of hidden celestial bodies and structures slowly emerged from it.
The first to emerge was a shining star, followed by mysterious and complex patterns and lines around the star. These lines wrapped the sun in layers, rippling with golden light that was very similar to the corona. They were part of the divine system left behind by the goddess of creation. Then, a dark red planet appeared near the sun. There were various abandoned ancient facilities on the planet, which were the telemetry stations used to monitor Collow. Then, in the outermost orbit, a group of fragmented space continents gradually emerged.
This group of space continents was divided into five parts, each with a different shape. Some were shrouded in shadow, some were eternally frozen, some were verdant and full of life, and some were radiant. Four of the continents revolved around the central continent. A layer of hazy light shrouded the five continents, and there seemed to be countless symbols and patterns flowing in the light, showing obvious signs of human interference. Supernatural forces ruled this group of space floating islands, maintaining its ecological environment and physical structure, which allowed this huge structure that did not conform to the laws of nature to exist in space for a long time.
In the dark space around the five space continents, there was another phantom-like 'world'. The huge phantom-like phantom seemed to have a wider land, but it was lifeless and barren.
That was the old world, which used to be the physical body of Collow. But with Lockmarton's first escape, it became a semi-illusory space and time. Now it was attached to the main world of Collow and could only be reached through the Realm of Reflections.
A silver light flashed in space, and the figure of the Petrachelys emerged from the darkness. Hao Ren looked at the changes in space from the bridge. Although the images were not completely stable, the overall structure was clear. Outside the solar system of Collow, all kinds of small celestial bodies and stray planets were vaguely visible. In some corners, there were space debris that looked like temples and towers. Those should be the automatic monitoring stations left by the goddess of creation. Unfortunately, as time passed and the divine power of the goddess of creation faded, all of them had become waste.
But as a research object, those abandoned facilities were still very valuable. Under Nolan's command, a group of autonomous robots and drone swarms flew toward the space facilities, ready to analyze and study them.
Hao Ren looked at Collow. Now the latter had become a group of space floating islands in space, which made him curious about how this wonderful civilization would develop in such a special environment in the future. About one astronomical unit away from the floating islands was the location of the "gate."
The silver-white space railguns, outposts, fortresses, monitoring towers, and other facilities formed a huge three-dimensional structure. The layers of defense and control system could only be seen in the distant space. In the center of these facilities, there was a "gate" that twisted like a vortex. The vortex was bound by a giant silver metal ring. The giant ring seemed to be in an unstable state of space and time, sometimes condensing, and sometimes disintegrating into mist as if it had become part of the vortex. After the crystal was activated, it became this strange appearance. Perhaps only the author, Raven 12345, knew how it worked.
The Gate of the Universe had a powerful law. Under its disturbance, Collow and all the celestial bodies around it were bound to a safe orbit. No matter how they orbited, they would not interfere with the operation of the Gate of the Universe, nor would they go far away. Hao Ren had placed some of the monitoring facilities of the Gate of the Universe on the Ansu continent and the Frozen Continent in Collow, which was equivalent to tying the two together. This was consistent with the corresponding structure of the planet Inferno and the Gate of the Universe in the surface world.
Lil Pea jumped onto the console and stretched out her hands toward the constantly fluctuating deep space in the holographic projection. She flapped her tail happily. She probably thought that there was endless seawater there, but it would not take long for the ripples to dissipate.
"With the plans and automated factories you left behind, this place should be on the right track soon," Vivian said. "But why do you seem to have a lot on your mind?"
"How can I not have a lot on my mind after hearing so much explosive information?" Hao Ren sighed. "And the reconstruction of Collow may not be as smooth as we think. The situation in this world is too unique. The motivation and goal of the various races is to fight against the tide of Chaos. Their technology tree, cultural system, and concept of survival are more or less crooked. Now that the tide of Chaos is gone, I really don't know how this' fighting race 'that grew up in the smoke of war will adapt. There are also the monitoring stations and giant computing centers used to monitor the Gate of the Universe. I don't know if there will be any problems if they are built directly on the continent. After all, Collow is different from Inferno. The population here is denser, and the social development is several levels higher. "
"They won't tear down the factories and monitoring stations you left on the continent." Vivian smiled. "Didn't the leaders of various countries say that as long as the monitoring stations are only used to monitor space as agreed and do not affect the normal life and social order of their people, they will fully support your projects. You've just saved all of their lives. At the very least, this generation will be grateful to you. As for the next few generations … By then, they'll probably be used to the alien machines that can be seen everywhere in the world, just like the Purgatory people. "
Hao Ren nodded and looked into the distant space as if he wanted to look beyond the stars and space clouds to see the silent darkness in the depths of space.
At the same time, in the ruins of Fidelinopolis in the Sanctum of Collow, Calaxus I and the surviving bishops were leading the believers to worship the sacred crystal mountain of Asurmen for the last time.
The Crystal Sacred Mountain emitted a soft and bright light, and the sound of wind chimes reverberated in the hearts of everyone who participated in the ceremony. The wind chimes seemed to be saying goodbye, and also seemed to be exhorting. However, if one listened carefully, it would disappear like an illusion.
Calaxus I looked up at the sky. The Gate of the Universe in space was so huge that the silver lines and the vague shape of the vortex could be vaguely seen on the surface.
He retracted his gaze and looked at the sacred crystal mountain.
"Sacred mountain and guardians, thank you for your protection of this world for thousands of years," the new pope said in a low voice. "Please go with our prayers and fulfill the will of the goddess. Just like a nestling will eventually grow up, we mortals will survive in this world on our own and live up to the grace of creation of the goddess. "
The sacred crystal mountain seemed to have heard these words. It emitted a brighter light, and then the whole 'mountain' shook gently. With a low roar, Asurmen gradually rose, left the ground, accelerated toward the sky, and turned into a white light and disappeared from everyone's sight.
The Petrachelys waited in space for a few hours before Asurmen finally appeared in the agreed airspace.
The 'sacred crystal mountain' turned back into an interstellar spacecraft and quietly came to the Petrachelys like a crystal asteroid. It was dozens of times the size of the Petrachelys, and the layers of crystal shell reflected the scene of Nolan and the countless space stations behind her.
After the communication was connected, a holographic image of Asurmen appeared in front of Hao Ren. "I've been delayed a little. I have to say goodbye to the humans."
"It's okay," Hao Ren nodded understandingly. "After all, we have lived together for so long."
The image of the Lord of Lords, Loken, also appeared in the projection. He and the other wardens were now on the Asurmen. "The warden team has assembled. What's your next plan?"
The goddess of creation had fallen. Even if there was a possibility of resurrection, it would be a matter for the future. Now that the warden team was leaderless, Hao Ren, who was more or less the representative of the true gods, became the leader. Muru had told Loken about Hao Ren's efforts to find the whereabouts of the goddess of creation and the revival of the goddess' system. So the wardens and Asurmen agreed to work with Hao Ren for the next period of time.
"I want to hear about the situation of the Mad Lord's prison first." Hao Ren looked at Asurmen. "How long do you think the prison can last?"
"The Mad Lord is located in the Dark Abyss, the deepest part of the universe. It is extremely quiet and dark. Except for the sentinels of the Denizens of the Stars who have been guarding there since ancient times, there is no breath of life. The divine blockade left by the goddess of creation in the darkness is a hundred times stronger than that of Collow. No one can open it or pass through it except the goddess herself. Even my people stationed in the Dark Abyss can only rely on fixed outposts." Asurmen explained in detail what it knew. But because it was assigned to guard Lockmarton in Collow from the beginning, its understanding of the Dark Abyss was limited. "According to the current state of the stars in the universe, it can be determined that the power of the Mad Lord has not begun to leak. Its interference in the deicidal war should be the limit. I speculate that the Mad Lord is taking advantage of the fall of the goddess of creation to seek freedom, but it will take a long time for it to completely break free. "
Hao Ren thought for a moment and suppressed the idea of setting out immediately to find the Dark Abyss and then blast it with 20,000 Planetary Destroyer Cannons. It was a beautiful idea, but he was not an impulsive person. After facing Lockmarton, he knew that now was not a good time to challenge the Mad Lord. He had not accumulated enough power in the Plane of Dreams, and he did not know enough about the supernatural forces in the Plane of Dreams. His own preparation was far from enough. The various strange actions of the goddess of creation before her fall had made him speculate and alert. All these made him suppress the idea of acting rashly.
He definitely had to go to the Dark Abyss Cage, but not now.
The wardens and Asurmen must have known this, so they did not urge Hao Ren to hurry up and avenge the goddess of creation.
"We must first find the whereabouts of the goddess of creation. Whether it is the sleeping goddess or the remnant fragments and thoughts after her fall, only by finding these can we safely and smoothly open the Dark Abyss Cage. It would be better if the goddess of creation could be resurrected, so that we would have a greater chance of success against the Mad Lord." Hao Ren revealed his plan. "I have been assembling the Creation's Engine according to the blueprint left by the goddess. At the same time, the search of the divine realm of the goddess is continuing. At the same time, we are also restoring some ecosystems and excavating relics. I hope that you can follow Muru to Tannagost, where you can see my work. Then, I hope that you can cooperate with my research. I hope to analyze the divine characteristics of the goddess of creation from the wardens. This will help the droid swarm in the exploration of the universe. At the same time, I hope that you can contact your people. It's best if you can find the sentinels who are guarding the Abyssal Prison. We urgently need to know what's going on inside the prison. Also, I need your cooperation in the research of the crystal disc and other divine artifacts. "
Although Muru and the other guardian giants also had the divine characteristics of the goddess of creation, they were "mass-produced individuals" born from the Crimson Sea of the Star of Creation. Unlike the Lord of Lords, Loken and the others, each of them was a "handmade product" of the goddess of creation. So the guardian giants were obviously more suitable as the "source of identity code" for the drone cluster to search the divine realm.
Hao Ren's arrangement was reasonable and well-organized. Asurmen and the wardens had no objections and naturally agreed.
