The vast universe was empty and lonely, and the only companion was the distant starlight that came from an unknown number of light-years away. This lonely and empty environment would be unbearable for most creatures living on the surface, but for Nolan, she had long been accustomed to it and even enjoyed it.
She enjoyed the feeling of flying freely among the stars. The boundless space did not bring her loneliness and loneliness, but complete freedom and relaxation. She could not explain why she was like this. Perhaps the millenniums of being trapped in the dream world had shaped her personality. She was tired of the cramped and limited space, and the vast, infinite universe filled with the unknown made her happy.
Just like now, flying freely in space, enjoying the comfort of the starlight. If not for the mission, Nolan would have flown for a few more hours.
"I have reached outer space beyond the star's gravitational circle," she replied. "There is no blockade or attack. I have just detected a very weak energy fluctuation. It should be the divine blockade network performing a scan, but it seems that I have passed the test. "
Hao Ren's voice came through the command link. "Very well, then come back first. Don't take too much risk."
Nolan reluctantly adjusted the sensor to look at the starlight in the distance, and then turned the ship toward the planetary system and entered superluminal mode.
Soon, she returned to the outpost base on the surface of the Executor's home planet.
"What's the situation outside?" As soon as Nolan's holographic image appeared, Lily could not wait to jump up. "Are you sure there is no attack? And nothing jumped out to ask you to pay for the passage? "
"Where did you get the passage money from?" Hao Ren pulled the husky maiden aside and looked at Nolan with a slight nod. "As long as everything goes well. Looks like it is just as we had guessed. The problem is not with the ship, but with us, the 'passengers'. "
"Who wants to be the first to go for the test?" Vivian crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking like the hostess of the house. "Everyone has to take turns anyway, it doesn't matter who goes first."
Before Vivian's voice trailed off, Nangong Sanba came up with a piece of paper in his hand. "Let's draw lots! That will save us some trouble! "
Hao Ren could tell at a glance that the pile of paper was actually Letta rune cards. He was shocked. "You painted the rune cards that you worked so hard to enchant and used them to draw lots?"
"Cough cough, they are all useless cards." Nangong Sanba scratched his head awkwardly. "I drank too much when I was creating the cards two days ago. Half a liter of vodka was mixed into the magic potion …"
Is this some sort of magic potion mixed in with vodka?
Hao Ren's hand, which was about to draw lots, stopped halfway. "Wait a minute, did you feed these cards to Lil Pea?"
Nangong Sanba: "How did you know?"
"Nonsense! Lil Pea was drunk for two hours last night. Her burps filled my room with water. No wonder the little rascal's burps reeked of alcohol! "Hao Ren glared at Nangong Sanba." Do you know what you're talking about? Doudou is only three years old! "
In the end, Nangong Sanba was the first to be thrown into the spaceship to participate in the next round of tests. The others were still decided by drawing lots.
As a result, Nangong Sanba and Nolan had just reached the gravitational boundary of the planetary system when they were violently intercepted by the divine energy.
In the subsequent tests, almost everyone who boarded the spaceship could not leave the planetary system. When they were about to leave the gravitational boundary of the planet, they were scanned and intercepted by the divine energy network. Even Rollie triggered the alarm. There was a small interlude here. The cat maiden thought she was going to be thrown out, but she made a big fuss. In the end, Hao Ren had no choice but to stuff every pocket of the dumb cat with dried fish to make her listen. But in the end, they were still blocked on the last step to outer space.
Looking at the cat maiden's sly smile when she came back, Hao Ren suddenly felt that the cat was not stupid at all …
But not everyone was intercepted. In the end, three people successfully broke through the 'boundary' of the planetary system with Nolan — Hao Ren, Vivian, and Lil Pea …
When the three of them (fishbat) returned to the surface, they looked at each other … well, it was only Hao Ren and Vivian who looked at each other. Lil Pea was lying on Hao Ren's arm, looking around curiously. The baby mermaid had no idea what was going on. She just listened to her daddy and took the spaceship for a spin. When she came back, everyone had this strange look on their faces. The little mermaid was baffled.
"How do you sum up the pattern?" Hao Ren held the baby mermaid in his arms, confused. "Vivian is a creation of the goddess of creation, I'm a pope of the Surface World, and Lil Pea is a descendant of life from another world … Can anyone help me sum up the common point?"
Hao Ren and Vivian were not the only ones who were confused. In fact, everyone else was confused. Lily looked up at the sky and pondered for a long time before finally coming up with a conclusion. "… All three of you look like the protagonists. Does that count as a common point?"
"Nonsense. Look at all of us who don't look like the protagonists." Hao Ren waved his hand. "Even you are a reincarnated heroine template. It's just that you've been living like a dog, so you look like a masochist."
Hao Ren was joking, but Nangong Sanba replied seriously, "I don't look like a protagonist. Look at how flat I am …"
"Scram!" Lily and Vivian said in unison. "Do you think we don't know about idol dramas?"
The cat girl, who was munching on dried fish outside the circle, heard the commotion and came over. "Someone's calling me? Is it mealtime? "
"It's none of your business." Hao Ren shooed away the dumb cat, who was useless except for eating and sleeping. He shook his head and sighed. "I can only boldly assume one thing … The divine network that locked down Star Cluster X should be using a composite scanning and judgment mode to execute its program. That's why we can't simply sum up its pattern. First, it should be detecting high-level life signatures. That's why ships and drones without high-level life signatures can pass the inspection. Secondly, it will determine the characteristics of divinity in those with life signatures. Lil Pea aside, both Vivian and I have a considerable amount of divinity. That might be the reason why we passed the test. "
Lily heard Hao Ren's analysis and raised her hand. "But we all have more or less divinity in us. Mr. Landlord, we've eaten the food you brought back from the goddess. I've even cultivated the Divine Aura … What's that again …"
She really did come up with this name out of the blue! She had forgotten about it in the blink of an eye!
"The level of divinity is different," Hao Ren explained. "I'm the pope of Raven 12345, and Vivian is a direct creation of the goddess of creation. We get divinity directly from the 'source', but you guys get divinity indirectly through a medium (to put it bluntly, the year-end bonus, fruits, vegetables, flour, oil, and snacks from the divine kingdom). Maybe the divine network in outer space doesn't recognize such an identity card."
"What? A temporary residence permit is not a certificate? This is blatant discrimination." Wuyue wagged her tail in dissatisfaction. "And even if you're right, how do you explain Lil Pea? She's just a mermaid who transmigrated from another world. The divinity in her body was obtained by freeloading from the Goddess. How could she pass the scan of the blockade? "
Lily rubbed her chin. "Maybe children under 1.2 meters are free …"
Hao Ren and Vivian said at the same time, "That's enough!"
"Anyway, we've found a team that can pass the blockade." Vivian looked at Hao Ren and Lil Pea, who was in Hao Ren's arms. "Me, Hao Ren, and Lil Pea … This is the first time we've teamed up. I wonder if the little one can be considered a full combat force."
The little mermaid heard Vivian's words and immediately waved her little fist. "Lil Pea, you're awesome!"
"What's your plan?" Y 'zaks looked at Hao Ren, wanting to hear his plan.
Hao Ren nodded. "Now that we've found three people who can pass the blockade, it's better than all of us being trapped here. I'm guessing that the 'security system' that shrouds this sector must have something like a control center. Now that the three of us can move freely in Star Cluster X, I'm going to find the control center and find a way to shut down the blockade. Or at least open an opening for you guys to go out. "
This was the only way they could think of at the moment, so they naturally had no objections. Just as Hao Ren was about to plan the first step of the exploration, Nolan suddenly sent a message. "Boss! News from CARS: Asurmen knows the origin of the glowing structures! "
Asurmen, a crystal starship from the world of Collow, was a Denizen of the Stars who had fought alongside the goddess of creation in ancient times.
Who would have thought that the Denizen of the Stars could recognize something that even a guardian giant like Muru could not! Could it be that the glowing disc-like space structures were not the creation of the goddess of creation?
Hao Ren and the rest immediately rushed to the communication center of the outpost base. Asurmen was already waiting on the comms channel. The image of the ancient Denizen of the Stars on the comms device was a hazy ball of light, and within the ball of light was like a cluster of stars. When he saw Hao Ren, he did not waste any time and said, "Those things you see are the dormant battleships of the Denizens of the Stars."
"The spaceships of the Denizens of the Stars?!" Hao Ren had made many guesses about the glowing discs, but this was something that he had never thought of. He had seen the spaceships of the Denizens of the Stars with his own eyes, the so-called "Crystal Mountain Asurmen". The glowing disc-like clouds in space were so different from Asurmen that he did not even associate the two together. "The Denizens of the Stars who can transform into spaceships like you? So that's what you look like when you're dormant?! "
"The spaceships of the Denizens of the Stars are built with spiritual power as the skeleton, and when we enter a special dormant mode, these spiritual power skeletons will transform into a cloud form. This is an alert mode under the premise of conserving energy," Asurmen explained with its unique emotionless voice. "As for those you see … I've read their information. They're much bigger than me, and they're probably more inclined to fight head-on. There were many battleships of the Denizens of the Stars in the ancient war, but they're rare now."
