To be honest, Hao Ren was not surprised by the First Born's ability to fight in space.
This powerful primitive creature had shown a small part of its combat ability. It could control gravity, generate shields, distort space, and use anti-aircraft fire to destroy the target in the face of a meteorite attack. All these signs showed that the First Born knew what space was from the beginning — at least it knew what an "air battle" was. Plus, it had destroyed the city on the moon of the Magic Empire in ancient times, so it was natural that this monster could fight in space.
It was just that Hao Ren did not expect that the "spaceship" it created would be so brilliant.
After confirming that the "seed" was completely dead, Lily used her claws to cut open the skin of the thing, revealing the withered organs underneath. The shape of the organs was between animal and plant. Although they looked like internal organs, the material was similar to wood fiber. Hao Ren also saw the ring-shaped tissue at the core of the seed. It had a metallic luster and seemed to contain a lot of minerals. Hao Ren reached out to grab it and felt that it was dead heavy in his hand: its weight on the moon was surprising. He did not know what it was made of.
"A complete weapon," Vivian scratched her chin. "It seems to be specially designed to attack other planets."
Vivian reminded Hao Ren. He suddenly realized that when the First Born hatched from the Seed of Origin, it was not a weapon. It was just a plant responsible for shaping the initial ecosystem. Although powerful, it should not be such a sophisticated combat weapon. The seed in front of him was a weapon that had obviously been carefully designed. It should not have come from the original blueprint of the Seed of Origin.
There was no doubt that the First Born had designed this thing — in a state of complete madness, it still had the ability to design such a weapon. Or perhaps there was still some sort of logic in its madness? Was it enough to support it to complete this wonderful work of destruction?
Hao Ren told them what he thought. Some were horrified, and some were deep in thought. Lily wagged her tail and thought for a long time. Suddenly, she poked Hao Ren in the stomach and said, "It seems that all civilizations in this universe have been destroyed, including those that can fly into space."
Before Lily could finish her sentence, Hao Ren jumped back more than two meters with cold sweat on his forehead. "Don't stab me with your claws! Aren't you afraid of someone dying? "
Nangong Wuyue poked at the remains of the 'seed' and stuck out her tongue. "It's really dangerous to be targeted by this thing. But is there really no survivors in this universe? The universe is so big. It can't be that there isn't anyone who can fight, right? "
The survivors that Wuyue was talking about were not the unlucky ones like Holletta whose civilization had regressed, but a powerful race that had successfully preserved the fruits of civilization and even solved the First Born crisis themselves.
"The entire universe is dead. All the channels are only our own echoes — or broadcasts from the Imperial Data Link," the MDT said, shaking its body. "I don't think there are any living interstellar civilizations here. The difference in strength between the Second Born and the First Born is too obvious, and the latter has a decisive advantage in terms of life form. Unless a race had migrated to other galaxies and completely cut off contact with the mother planet before the First Born went crazy, and did not bring anything related to the First Born — not even a single cell — with them, otherwise, they would definitely be caught and killed. "
Vivian crossed her arms and interrupted. "There's another possibility. There are survivors, but they're hiding and dare not respond to any sound."
Seeing Hao Ren's inquisitive gaze, Vivian shrugged. "Don't forget how the otherworldlings on Earth survived the demon hunters: hiding in the shelter, not making any sound, and not responding to any contact. The First Born is more terrifying than the demon hunters, so the survivors will hide even more than the otherworldlings. But there must be a civilization still alive. Just like Wuyue said, the universe is so big, it's impossible that there isn't anyone who can fight. "
Hao Ren sensed something and looked up at the twinkling stars in the dark night sky. The planet of Holletta hung in the middle of the night sky, surrounded by endless brilliant galaxies. An inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart. He thought that there might be a few pairs of frightened eyes hidden in those silent, cold stars. They were the survivors of the apocalypse, and they had a complete historical record of 10,000 years ago. They might have dismantled their communication equipment (the First Born was obviously able to track these signals) and locked themselves in a place that could completely isolate the breath of life. But these survivors must have left some kind of window outside. Unless they wanted to stay in the shelter until the end of the universe, they would always leave a way to sense the outside world.
Just like the dove that Noah released.
Hao Ren wanted to leave a broadcast tower and broadcast the news that the apocalypse had ended to the universe to lure out the survivors. But he soon realized that it was risky because he was not sure if the apocalypse was really over!
The First Born went crazy at the same time, but not necessarily died at the same time. At least the First Born of Holletta was just in a deep sleep. Perhaps there were other First Borns that were still active in this universe. He could not rashly attract the attention of those ancient creatures.
So in the end, he could only shake his head. "Leave a proliferative passive radar station, keep an eye on this universe, and catch any communication signal. Also, launch the radar station a little further away to prevent luring the First Born to Holletta. "
The MDT whistled and said, "Roger that!"
The upper half of the Petrachelys opened a gate, and a silver-white cuboid device several meters long rose from the garage, then turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the vast space. Next, it would monitor this galaxy for a long time, and continue to replicate itself, setting up radar stations in more and more distant galaxies until the entire universe was under surveillance. Hao Ren did not know how effective this thing was because he did not read the manual. But he felt that this thing looked very advanced and should work.
He ordered the autonomous robots to send the seed to the spacecraft's research institute, and after collecting some samples of tentacles and wreckage on the surface of the moon, he led the team away from this place.
They returned to the Alamanda teleportation point in Tannagost. Hao Ren kept the spacecraft, but before he left, he left an autonomous robot behind. He asked the little robot to collect materials here to build a series of protective walls, at least to block off the square, and if possible, to strengthen the place into a fortress. The next time he came, he would bring some weapons to further protect the Alamanda teleportation square.
The light purple membrane connecting the Plane of Dreams and the Surface World was still emitting a regular glow, and the spatial rift had completely stabilized. They passed through the light membrane and immediately felt a cold wind blowing in their faces.
In front of them was the dark and vast snowfield, and when they turned around, they were back in Andrea Castle.
"I didn't expect to encounter so many things this time," Lily tucked her ears and tail back into her human form, jumping happily on the spot. "I thought I was just going to check out the situation, but I ended up wandering around for more than a week."
Hao Ren also looked at the vast snowfield in front of him with some emotion. Returning to the Surface World from the Plane of Dreams had always brought him an inexplicable sense of separation, and this time, traveling through the spatial rift between the two worlds did not reduce the illusion.
Nangong Wuyue took the lead and jumped off the stone platform. "Let's go up and scare Andrea and his family."
Hao Ren was speechless.
He did not know if Nangong Wuyue's jinx worked, but when Hao Ren and the rest pushed open the iron door of the crypt, they actually met Igor. The old man was probably cleaning up the old family portraits in the basement when he suddenly heard a clang from the iron door behind him. At that time, he thought the evil spirit had come back to fight him, but when he turned around, it was the witches and masters who had been "missing" for a week. At that time, he was pleasantly surprised and clapped his hands. "Hey —"
Then, as expected, he passed out again.
The butler was watching over him. The loyal butler seemed to be familiar with this kind of rhythm. He lifted his master up with ease, pinched his acupuncture points, inhaled the incense, and administered the quick-effect (this time the stroke was more serious). He calmly brought the old man back to life. Igor opened his eyes and stared blankly at Hao Ren and the rest. "You guys have been missing for a week... I thought something had happened!"
"We went somewhere far away," Vivian smiled. "It's magic, don't dwell on the details."
