They had found a lot of clues in The Plane of Dreams, but the more clues there were, the more confusing the whole thing became. Questions came one after another. Although there were countless guesses to answer these questions, Hao Ren did not know which one was more reliable.
"According to the message in the cave, when the First Born woke up, a group of aliens should have gone to help, but I didn't see any aliens until I shot them down. Did something happen to them?"
Nangong Wuyue frowned. "Perhaps the aliens reneged on their promise after ten thousand years, or perhaps they forgot about the agreement. After all, ten thousand years is a long time. It's hard to say which race would keep their word to that extent."
Hao Ren shook his head. "I think, since the ancient mage-emperors dared to sign this agreement with the aliens, and the Pope of Glory also dared to declare that the aliens would come three thousand years ago, they must have considered this. No one is a fool. If they were not sure of the sincerity of the aliens, would they put the future of their entire planet in the hands of a group of outsiders? I'm inclined to think that something happened to the aliens. "
"There's another possibility," Vivian, who was passing by, interrupted after hearing the discussion between Hao Ren and Wuyue. "We woke up the First Born ahead of time... It's not us, it should be the little green men. Their spaceship smashed a hole under the sacred lake and created a big whirlpool, which indirectly caused the Divine Sarcophagus to be destroyed ahead of time. Maybe that's the reason."
"But the stone men of Dragonspine Ridge have nothing to do with the Divine Sarcophagus," Hao Ren spread out his hands. "They operate strictly according to the timetable left behind 10,000 years ago. Before the Divine Sarcophagus was destroyed ahead of time, they had already begun to move. This means that the exact date of the First Born's awakening was at that time, at most a few days apart. The aliens couldn't have been waiting for the day of the agreement, right? They must be prepared for unexpected situations. Anyway, if I were those aliens, I'd definitely go there two months earlier to guard the place than to go there to collect the corpse on time … "
"That's true … Something might have happened to them." Vivian nodded in agreement. "By the way, what are we having for lunch?"
Hao Ren was stunned. Vivian's sudden change of topic caught him off guard. After a few seconds, he remembered that he had plans for the day. "I'll leave it to you guys at noon. I have to go look for Raven 12345. I won't be back until I have enough time."
Vivian nodded. Then, she thought of something and said, "The Goddess doesn't provide meals."
The corner of Hao Ren's mouth twitched. He thought to himself that Raven 12345, as the God of this universe, had left the deepest impression on people that she did not provide meals. He wondered how the Goddess felt about this...
Vivian went back to do her chores. Nangong Wuyue had already understood what Hao Ren meant. "I understand. You think that many of the unusual creatures on Earth are not from Becky's home planet. So many races, including the sirens, have transmigrated to Earth at the same time. Moreover, the whereabouts of the 'allies in the stars' mentioned in the prophecy are also unknown. So, you're worried that many races in The Plane of Dreams are in trouble. So, you want to find the home of the sirens to confirm?"
"It's just a plan for the time being," Hao Ren nodded. "Having a goal is better than having no goal. Try your best to find some clues. After all, you're a siren. You should know something about your own kind... At least you'll have a say in it. "
"Actually, I've been wandering the world for so many years and I've never had any contact with my own kind. The sirens that come ashore are all mysterious. I'm not interested in them." Nangong Wuyue stuck out her tongue but still nodded in agreement. "I do have some clues. I'll try my best."
"Then I'll leave it to you." Hao Ren smiled and nodded. He got up and walked towards the back door. "I'll go talk to the four ascetics. After that, I'll go straight to Raven 12345's place. I won't be back in the afternoon."
Big Beardy and the other three were 'meditating' in the wasteland behind the house. The four of them were 'meditating' around a bonfire that was about to go out. It looked like a scene from Man vs. Wild. When Hao Ren went over, he found that Lily was there too. The maiden was holding a small book and squatting beside Big Beardy. She had a serious look on her face as she asked a question. He thought it was fun so he went over and patted Lily's head. "What are you doing?"
Lily raised her head and bared her fangs at Hao Ren. "Don't touch my head! I find that you're becoming more and more disrespectful to scholarly girls … "
Hao Ren was tongue-tied. He could not believe that Lily had the cheek to say that she was a scholarly girl. Then, he saw something on Lily's little book. A line of words blinded his eyes: "Returning to Nature in the Modern City — Health Care in the Wilderness". He asked in a daze, "What are you doing? Studying sociology? "
"Submitting a paper," Lily said with a serious face. "This topic is very popular now. The richer the city people are, the more pretentious they are. When they were digging for food in the ravine, they yearned for high-rise buildings. Now that they're living upstairs, they've begun to pursue a life of eating wild vegetables. This kind of health care article is very popular. Just write something that looks like returning to nature, and then add a few foreign chicken feather experts' names.
This kind of health care article is very popular. Just write something that looks like returning to nature, and then add the names of two foreign chicken feather experts. It's worth at least two hundred yuan per thousand words … "Hao Ren thought for a moment and pointed to the bonfire in front of Big Beardy.
"It's just an appropriate literary exaggeration," Lily said with a serious face. "I intend to make Big Beardy into an otherworldly master, or a health care expert, or the orthodox heir of Wutai Mountain …"
Hao Ren squinted at the husky and said, "Take it easy. Don't call the CCTV reporters over when the article becomes popular."
Lily glared at Hao Ren and took her little book back to the house to polish it. Hao Ren sat down next to Big Beardy and said casually, "Actually, you can go to a place called India. After that, your behavior will be inconspicuous."
Big Beardy's face suddenly lit up. "Does that place also follow the teachings of the goddess?"
"No, it's a magical country, especially suitable for you to challenge the limits of survival." Hao Ren looked at Big Beardy's wide robe with big sleeves. The more he looked at them, the more he felt that the four of them could be thrown into the streets of India. "There are people everywhere who challenge the limits of survival like you. They are also called ascetics, and the local people live their lives through performance art …"
"I'll think about it." Big Beardy nodded solemnly and thanked Hao Ren. "But we have to solve the problem of knowledge first. The most important thing is the language barrier."
"That's okay. My boss is in charge of this. In two days, you will naturally be able to understand the language and writing of the people on Earth," Hao Ren said with a little sigh. "You newcomers are really lucky. At first, I had to lie in a coffin cabin and undergo a transformation to understand foreign languages. But it's automatic here."
At this time, the young nun saw that Hao Ren had something on his mind. "What's the matter?"
Hao Ren smiled a little awkwardly. "Actually, it's not a big deal … Do you have the scriptures of the Disciples of Glory with you?"
Big Beardy took out a thick old book from his robe. "Of course, we carry it with us. Are you interested in the teachings of the goddess? "
Hao Ren laughed dryly. "Not really — if I want to join another religion, my boss will kill me. I just want to understand the history and culture of the Disciples of Glory, and the legends of your world. As long as it's related to 10,000 years ago, I need it. "
After such a long period of interaction, Hao Ren had a rough idea of the temperament of Big Beardy and the others. These devout believers were not like the fanatics of other religions who would force everyone to believe in their goddess. They believed in natural reform and conversion — through their own words and deeds, they preached the creed of the Disciples of Glory and let the non-believers make their own choice. That was why Hao Ren could so casually discuss the issue of belief with them.
"We only have the Holy Scriptures with us." Big Beardy handed the big book to Hao Ren. "It's always good to look at it. Although we don't have the other scriptures with us, they're all in our heads. I can write some down for you. "
"Don't bother. This book is enough to study first. The next time we go to The Plane of Dreams, we'll collect a batch. We still have to go in a month anyway." Hao Ren stood up. "Then you guys continue to have an epiphany. I have to report to my boss …"
Just as Hao Ren was about to leave, Big Beardy also stood up. "We heard that the 'boss' you mentioned is another goddess, right?"
Hao Ren immediately did not know how to continue. "Uh …"
"We'll go with you to see her," Big Beardy said seriously.
This development was a little beyond Hao Ren's expectations.
