Y 'zaks' hometown was located in one of the most remote areas of the Empire. In fact, due to a major expansion ten thousand years ago, the Empire's barren 'reserve lands', which had not been built upon, occupied more than half of the territory. These 'reserve lands' only had the most basic sovereign facilities and surveillance outposts, and Y 'zaks' hometown did not even have a World Gate.
Hao Ren's planned journey was a one-way teleportation, and a return voyage. That was to 'launch' through the World Gate of this universe upon departure, and then use the void engine of the Petrachelys to slowly fly back. This was the best solution he had found after studying the activation rules of the World Gate, and it could save a lot of time on the way.
The spacecraft soon arrived at the magnificent portal in the depths of the universe. It was as magnificent and awe-inspiring as ever, and the fleet of civilizations shuttling back and forth near the World Gate seemed to be always busy. Only in this place could one experience the incredible vitality and the splendid and diverse civilizations that were hidden in the seemingly empty and dead space. It was Lanina's first time seeing the World Gate, and she was shocked speechless by the incredible structure that was larger than a planet. As the spacecraft slowly approached the hazy light curtain, the succubus' tail subconsciously knotted into a knot: it was a sign of nervousness.
"Ten thousand years ago, the World Gate did not have a one-way 'launch' function," the MDT explained as it jammed on the console. "At that time, the World Gates had to be built in pairs, each serving as the launching and receiving end. But later on, a one-way launch function was developed, and the World Gate could be used as a 'dispatch slingshot'. I have already sent the coordinates to the World Gate's management host, and it will launch us directly to the destination. Of course, the return journey will have to be a normal voyage. "
Hao Ren thought for a moment. "Won't that be a problem? What if a civilian ship without a void engine accidentally enters the one-way launch window? Won't we not be able to come back? "
"What do you think the sovereign hub of each world does?" The MDT seemed to think that the question was naive. "The sovereign hub has a function to monitor the entry and exit of each world, just like the World Management Terminal used by the Protoss, to prevent people from crossing the border. Anyone crossing the World Barrier will be scanned, and illegal entry will be directly sent back. Of course, there are very rare cases of missed detection, but those are very small data packets, which is the size of a human's data. That's basically the case for your so-called 'Transmigrators'. "
Lanina did not listen to the strange knowledge that she did not understand at all. She just stared at the brilliant light curtain that was getting closer and closer and was so huge that she could not see its edge. She finally believed that Raven 12345 and Hao Ren were reliable. At this time, the succubus could not help but ask. "Did your goddess make this door too?!"
Her voice was trembling.
Hao Ren checked the status of the spacecraft and answered without turning his head. "She didn't make it, but it's under her control."
Lanina took a deep breath. "Since she's so powerful … why doesn't she renovate her own house?"
Hao Ren suddenly did not understand. He turned to look at Y 'zaks. "Y' zaks, is there something wrong with your teaching method? Why is this girl so fixated on the renovation of the house? "
Y 'zaks facepalmed. "Alright, get back to your work. If you were a normal person looking at your house and this door, they would have the same thought."
Hao Ren shrugged and looked at the holographic projection one last time. "Hold on tight, we've arrived. This is a one-way launch, and I heard there will be a little vibration!"
As his voice trailed off, the Petrachelys plunged into the endless brilliant light curtain with an indomitable momentum, leaving only a little ripple in the space that gradually dissipated.
After some time, everything finally stabilized. Lily climbed out from under the chair and pulled Hao Ren's pants. "Mr. Landlord, you said there will be a little vibration? You call this a little vibration?! "
Hao Ren dizzily propped himself up. After confirming that the spacecraft had arrived at the station safely, he reached out and pulled Lily up. He found that basically everyone around him had gotten up from the ground, except for Y 'zaks: the guy was so big that he was almost stuck in the chair. The vibration did not shake him out.
Hao Ren slapped the MDT. "What's with the noise? One-way launch, that's it? "
"Nonsense, do you think one-way launch is a tour group's privilege?" The MDT buzzed on the console. "Only the military or imperial civil servants like you can use the one-way transmission function. Ordinary races can't use it. And those who can afford the imperial standard equipment, the biggest feature is that they are tough, who cares about comfort … Come help me, I'm stuck …"
Hao Ren took out a chopstick and pried the MDT out of the slot. He looked at the holographic projection and asked, "Are we here?"
The spacecraft was now suspended in a chaotic dark red gas cloud. This gas cloud looked like a cloud of red smoke that would never dissipate. It was filled with a dim light, and it was hard to tell where the source of the light was. Hao Ren used the external camera to take a picture of the spacecraft's surroundings. There was no sun or any similar bright celestial bodies, but there was a vague mountain-like landscape in the red cloud.
Y 'zaks looked around and quickly made a judgment. "We may be inside the Helms Smoke Column. This is indeed a safe entry point. No one would open a dimensional door in this place. "
Then he pointed in a direction in the red smoke and said, "Fly that way."
Hao Ren confirmed that there was no unusual reaction around the Petrachelys and let the MDT drive the spacecraft out of the smoke zone.
The turbid, thick red smoke pressed down like it was solid, but it soon thinned out. The spaceship passed through a large patch of clouds and finally left the area known as' Helm's Smoke Pillar '. The view in front of them suddenly widened.
An ominous dark red land spread out in front of them, as if it was soaked in blood. It was unnerving. No green vegetation could be seen on the dark red land. What grew on the rugged, primitive landscape were strangely shaped plants from the Other World that no one dared to identify as plants. Mountains and rivers could be seen on the distant horizon, but whether it was mountains or plains, they all had the same monotonous and unpleasant colour.
There were some bright winding lines on the mountains in the distance. Hao Ren zoomed in and found that it was actually a lava waterfall!
Above this land, the chaotic sky was also suffused with an oppressive red color. Thick clouds rolled in the sky, as if there was an endless sea of fire burning behind the clouds. From time to time, flashes of light flashed across the sky in the distance, like thunder, or like falling meteorites igniting the atmosphere.
"What the heck …" Hao Ren looked at the hellish landscape in front of him. "The living environment in your hometown is really challenging."
Y 'zaks looked at the scene and nodded with some nostalgia. "Hey, I finally see the scenery of my hometown again …"
Hao Ren said, "I should have thrown you on Mars for a few days, enough for you to experience life."
Y 'zaks retorted with a straight face. "No, Mars is too cold, not as warm as my hometown …"
Hao Ren let the spacecraft look for a suitable landing site on the vast plain, and at the same time, he turned the external monitor to the back of the spacecraft to see what the Helms Smoke Plume was. What he saw was a magnificent wall of smoke hanging from the sky like a cliff. Endless dust and mist spread out, and he could not see the full picture of the "smoke plume". He let the spacecraft fly for a few hundred kilometers before he finally saw the smoke column clearly. It was a gas column rising from an inestimable crater on the ground. It rose straight into the sky in a strange way, and there was no sign of it spreading. It really was like a smooth giant pillar that supported the sky.
This spectacular scene left everyone dumbfounded!
Hao Ren finally understood one thing: he was standing on the demon's territory, and he had to be careful. A creature that could be alive and kicking in this extreme environment and still have the leisure to play world war all day was definitely not a vegetarian!
