Sure enough, as soon as Hao Ren mentioned the Orb, Big Beardy and the other three ascetics became nervous. It seemed like this was an extremely sensitive topic.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your treasure. Have you forgotten that this Orb is only a treasure in your world? No one on my side knows what it does. "Hao Ren quickly waved his hand. At the same time, he came up with a good excuse." It's like this. Your teleportation to this planet should be partly influenced by the Orb. I need to use it to analyze the teleportation process. This is a necessary step to send you back. "
Big Beardy looked at Hao Ren suspiciously. The Orb of the Holy Synod was the most important treasure to the four of them. When the little green men wanted to see it, they almost broke into a fight. However, Hao Ren's favorability was obviously higher than the little green men. Moreover, Hao Ren had said something that he agreed with the most: The Orb was a treasure from The Plane of Dreams. They were already in another world, the otherworldly people really did not need to have any improper thoughts about the Orb. So, Big Beardy thought for a long time and reluctantly nodded. "I can let you see it, but you are not allowed to touch it. I will only allow you to touch it after you show us that you really have the ability to open a dimensional door. This is a sacred item, you must understand this. "
The ascetics were very firm on the Orb of the Holy Synod. Hao Ren expressed his understanding. Big Beardy then carefully opened a thick cloth bag that he carried with him. It turned out that he carried the Orb with him.
When the cloth bag was opened, a shimmering golden orb was taken out.
It was a metal orb the size of a soccer ball. Hao Ren could not tell what material it was made of, but it was constantly emitting a faint glow. There were complex and delicate lines on its surface. The lines were straight, concave and convex. At first glance, it looked like some kind of hieroglyph. Upon closer inspection, all the lines were connected and covered the entire surface of the orb. Hao Ren looked at the Orb curiously, wondering how he could use this thing to communicate with the "Goddess" like in the legends. However, after observing for a while, he could not see any connection between this thing and the Goddess. Instead, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.
It was true that he had never seen the orb before, but the uneven patterns on the orb … reminded him of something.
"These patterns …" Hao Ren muttered to himself, "Why do I have an impression of them? And the size of this bead … "
Vivian furrowed her brows and stared at it for a long time. Her memory, which had never been reliable in the past ten thousand years, was now working exceptionally well. She suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, right! Was there a hole of the same size on the Sacred Relic of Origins? I remember there were similar patterns in the round hole! "
With Vivian's reminder, Hao Ren immediately realized what was going on. He was shocked and confused. "That's right! There is indeed such a hole in the Sacred Relic of Origins... How can there be such a coincidence? "
At this time, the MDT suddenly said, "Scan complete. The external match is 100%. To prevent damage to its function, the internal structure is temporarily unknown."
Hao Ren and the rest were stunned. The young female ascetic looked curiously at the MDT lying on Hao Ren's shoulder and asked, "Did your shoulder pad talk?"
After the brick, coaster and merry-go-round, the MDT had a new identity. This made it suddenly angry. "Ignorant! Open your eyes wide and see if there is such a small shoulder pad! I am the Data Brick made by the Empire... No, the MDT! "
Big Beardy ignored the talking "alchemy item". He just held the Orb in his hand and looked at Hao Ren cautiously. "What were you talking about? Have you seen something similar to the Orb of the Holy Synod? "
He suddenly thought of many things. Since he could be thrown out of The Plane of Dreams, something similar might have happened in the past. Perhaps other treasures of the Goddess had also wandered into this different world. Big Beardy was a quick-witted person. As the elder of the four, he thought things through very quickly and carefully.
Hao Ren thought for a while and nodded half-truthfully. "We did find something in the desert that might be related to the Orb in your hand. But it's not the Orb, it's a piece of equipment. The equipment is missing a part. It should be the Orb of the Holy Synod. But I have to put the two things together to confirm it. "
Big Beardy saw that Hao Ren did not look like he was lying, but he still put the Orb in his pocket. He gritted his teeth and said, "You have to let me see the equipment you're talking about. If it's really a sacred relic left by the Goddess, I can study it with you. You look like a scholar, you should have the necessary tools. But no matter what, the Orb must not leave my sight. And if that equipment is really the sacred relic of the Goddess, I want to take it with me. "
Big Beardy's words sounded a little unreasonable. Hao Ren nodded, thinking that he finally saw the tough side of an ascetic. As he agreed, he told the MDT in his mind, "Make a copy of the Sacred Relic of Origins …"
The structure of the Sacred Relic of Origins was not complicated for the MDT. The materials used to make up the Sacred Relic were also very simple and could be synthesized in the shipboard factory. The MDT had made a few copies of the Sacred Relic's innards during the experiment. Now, it would not be a problem for it to synthesize a complete set. The MDT readily agreed. "I'll be done in an hour."
At this time, they walked out of the ecological park. Except for Lily, who was humming a song the whole time, everyone seemed to be preoccupied. Hao Ren was speculating about the connection between the Orb and the Sacred Relic of Origins, as well as their real functions. Becky was homesick, Nangong Wuyue and Y 'zaks were worried about Hao Ren, and the four ascetics were immersed in the mind-boggling sacred knowledge of the Otherworld and the ancient relic. Vivian was thinking about what to do that night, and Lil Pea was thinking about what to eat that night.
Anyway, everyone had something on their minds — except for Husky.
Tamula and a group of little green men did not dare to go too far. When they saw the group coming out of the park, they immediately surrounded them. Hao Ren saw a bunch of identical green heads swaying in front of him, like mung bean cake demons having a meeting. He did not know where to look until Tamula called out to him. He nodded to Tamula and said, "It's done. I'm taking these people away."
Tamula pulled Hao Ren enthusiastically and said, "Don't you want to stay for a meal? I heard it's popular on Earth … "
Although Hao Ren was very interested in extraterrestrial food, he subconsciously said politely, "No, no, we have to go back to work …"
Tamula immediately nodded and said, "Then you guys go. I have to deal with something here. I'll return to Kuiper Station tomorrow."
The second half of Hao Ren's sentence, "But since you're so enthusiastic, it would be impolite to refuse", was choked in his throat. He only had one thought in his mind: Why are these little green men so honest?
The group bid farewell to the little green men and headed to the spaceship landing site. This was the first time in months that the four ascetics could leave the steel facility in a completely free state. Big Beardy looked back at the little green men who were still waving goodbye at the door and said, "Actually, these green creatures are quite friendly."
Another young male ascetic nodded and said, "But they look too much like monsters."
The young female ascetic added, "We thought we were in hell, and the goddess was testing us with monsters."
Finally, the older female ascetic concluded, "Fortunately, the goddess's wisdom allowed us to give up fighting at the critical moment. Otherwise, the misunderstanding would have deepened."
Hao Ren asked Big Beardy curiously, "How did you resolve the misunderstanding with the little green men?"
Big Beardy said solemnly, "I found that I couldn't beat their machines."
Hao Ren was speechless.
Nangong Wuyue could not help but say, "Master, aren't you being too honest?"
Big Beardy nodded nonchalantly and said, "I'm just admitting the truth. We have a mission. We have to live to protect the Orb. Of course, in order to survive, we can do anything. It's just surrender. "
Big Beardy's words were plain, but Hao Ren suddenly felt an inexplicable fanaticism in them. He seemed to suddenly understand what was going on with the ascetics' worldview.
They returned to the Petrachelys, and the spaceship quickly lifted off and left the planet. Before accelerating into hyperspace, Hao Ren let the external monitor look in the direction of the planet. The four ascetics saw the planet gradually moving away from them, and then looked at the huge spaceship they were in and expressed their disbelief. Big Beardy also remembered something from the legends. "Before the end of the world, humans in our world also had the ability to fly into space. It was said that there were cities on the moon … But I think this spaceship is more powerful."
Hao Ren immediately transferred the evaluation of "more powerful" to himself. He nodded in satisfaction and activated the spaceship's autopilot.
The image from the external monitor was distorted, and the spaceship had entered hyperspace.
