The next day, Hao Ren called everyone to the living room and told them about his experience yesterday and the series of tests that night.
"This planet called Zorm is in a very strange state. I still can't determine where it is in the Plane of Dreams. I can only confirm that it is in a region of the universe that we have never explored before. I haven't had time to observe the starry sky over there, but there will be interference and delay when contacting CARS, so the physical distance should not be close." Hao Ren sat on the sofa and explained his findings one by one. "In addition to the unknown location, there is also an anomaly in its mapping relationship with the Surface World. Things from there cannot be brought to the Surface World, but things from the Surface World can be used. Activities in Zorm cannot affect the Surface World. It seems that the information flow is one-way. Teleportation from Zorm to other planets in the Plane of Dreams will fail because the precise coordinates cannot be found. And most importantly, the MDT will become a corpse when it goes there. "
"The connection between the Plane of Dreams and the Surface World is normal, and the parameters of the universe do not seem to have changed," the MDT added. "We can rule out the possibility of a sudden change in the Wall of Reality. Now it seems that all the abnormalities should be concentrated in the planet itself, or in the space around it. "
Wuyue hugged her tail and curled up next to the coffee table. After Hao Ren and the MDT finished talking, she shook her body and said, "Who knows what you two are talking about …"
Hao Ren waved his hand and said, "I just called you over for a meeting to make it look serious. At least it looks like there is progress."
Sure enough, this guy still admitted it shamelessly.
"Compared to analyzing these things, I'd rather do something simple and crude," Lily said as she lay on the coffee table. "For example, where to kill and how many people to kill … Do you need my help with any fighting?"
"There are probably a lot of situations that need fighting, but it is a war of firearms. There are no otherworldlings and magic in the world. You probably won't be able to use your skills there," Hao Ren shook his head. "Of course, if you want to cause panic or become a celebrity, that's great. The humans over there have never seen anyone who can transform into a five-meter-tall husky. You will be the center of attention if you transform."
Lily thought for a moment and continued to lie on the table. "Then I won't go, it's boring."
"The abnormal space in the Plane of Dreams is most likely related to the Goddess," Y 'zaks guessed, scratching his chin. "Could it be that the planet of Zorm is next to the deicidal battlefield? Or … was simply swept into some kind of 'turbulence' during the deicidal incident? "
Hao Ren's brows knit together. "You mean the impact of the fall of the goddess had sealed the space around Zorm and changed the laws of the universe there?"
Y 'zaks nodded slightly. Despite his rugged appearance, the great demon was more scientific than anyone else. He was knowledgeable about the universe. "According to the guardians, when the Star of Creation exploded, it pushed the entire battlefield into a place called the Umbral Realm. We speculate that the Umbral Realm is an abnormal spatial structure, unpredictable, discontinuous, and incompatible in the normal universe. While no one has really seen what the Umbral Realm looks like, isn't it similar to the situation on Zorm? "Maybe the place you are going to is next to the place where the Goddess fell!"
Hao Ren was excited when he heard this. There was an irrepressible sense of anticipation in his heart, but he quickly calmed down. He instinctively felt that the "Umbral Realm" or the "Fallen Land of the Gods" was not an easy place to reach. If a person on Earth fell into the place where the Goddess fell in a dream, then the explosion of the Star of Creation ten thousand years ago would be a joke.
But Y 'zaks' guess was reasonable. At least, Hao Ren was willing to believe that the state of the planet of Zorm had something to do with the fall of the Goddess. He remembered the information he found on the internet. "There is a legend about the Goddess of Creation on the planet of Zorm. Until the war, there was a religion that worshipped the Goddess. After the development of technology, they turned the Goddess into a pure spiritual object to worship, but the belief system was still preserved. But for some reason, after the fall of the Goddess, the planet of Zorm escaped all ecological disasters. The First Born didn't bother them, and the guardian giants didn't come after them. I've checked their information, and there's not even an entry for 'underground tentacles' on the human network of Zorm. "
Y 'zaks murmured, "The Hollettans didn't know there was a First Born on their planet before we went there."
"But the Hollettans at least knew that there was a catastrophe 10,000 years ago. As long as there were survivors, there would be records of such a big event." Hao Ren had long thought about this question. "And the technological strength of the planet of Zorm was obviously higher than the Hollettans before the war. Their industrial system needed a lot of minerals, and a lot of minerals meant that they had to dig deep underground. Could it be that they had been digging for 10,000 years, and had always avoided every tentacle of the First Born?"
There was no answer to this question. Everyone looked at each other.
Finally, it was Vivian who sighed and broke the silence. "We've found too few samples of civilization in the Plane of Dreams. It's not enough compared to the whole universe. We can't find any pattern in those samples, so no matter what happens, we shouldn't be surprised. To put it bluntly, we haven't reached the point where we can have a fixed mindset. "
The MDT chimed in. "As an inspector, you can't have a fixed mindset in your life."
Hao Ren bit his nails and thought for a moment. Suddenly, he brought up another matter. "About the disappearance of the innate hostility of the otherworldlings here, Vivian, do you think there will be a big movement in the near future?"
Vivian crossed her arms and leaned back on the sofa. "There won't be a war in ten days or half a month. Even if it drags on for a year and a half, it won't be a problem. I've sent the news to my old friends. With a bunch of old guys, the little brats can't do anything. And the demon hunters are not fools."
She then muttered, "And most of the otherworldling families are so weak that they're starving to death. Even if they want to fight, they'll have to fatten up first."
"Now we have to thank the demon hunters for beating up the otherworldlings." Hao Ren grinned. "Since the mess on Earth is not going to happen for the time being, I'm going to focus on Zorm for the time being."
After the discussion, Hao Ren and the MDT went back to the basement. He connected the MDT to the hibernation pod that he tested yesterday and connected the Petrachelys' navigation system at the same time. He hoped to extract his mental navigation information on Zorm and convert it into the real physical coordinates of the universe of the Plane of Dreams. With these coordinates, he could enter the Plane of Dreams in his body through the Tannagost rift and then drive the Petrachelys directly to Zorm. By then, he would be able to see any spatial anomalies there.
But, as he expected, things were not going so smoothly.
"Conversion failed. Unable to locate this place," the MDT reported. That was all it said.
Hao Ren's eyes widened. "No location found? It's not that the coordinates are vague, but it's impossible to find? "
The MDT projected complex data and charts on the holographic screen. They were the 'tracks' that Hao Ren left when he entered the Plane of Dreams through the dream yesterday. "Conversion of a ridiculous coordinate. Theoretically, it can't be located at any point in the physical world. Sailing according to this coordinate will only bump into the void."
"That means … there's no way to go through the Tannagost rift." Hao Ren felt a headache coming on. "Is the planet not in the Plane of Dreams?"
"It must have something to do with the 'mental trajectory'. The process of reaching Zorm through the dream is interfered with, so I can't calculate the real coordinates of the planet," the MDT reported. This time, it showed a little bit of reliability. "Since this doesn't work, I have a suggestion: the next time you enter Zorm, put a beacon transmitter there and use the navigation signal to guide the Petrachelys there. If the guidance still fails, it means that the planet of Zorm is in an encrypted space that you and I can't crack, and we can apply for more advanced technical support. "
Hao Ren blinked. "There's advanced technical support?"
"Of course, the Empire provides abundant technical support to the inspectors. But usually, the technical support sent by the Empire is a variety of explosives, and occasionally, it's engineers who are good at assembling explosives."
Hao Ren said, "… So, in the eyes of the Xi Ling Celestials, explosion is the only way to solve the problem?"
The MDT's expression did not change. Of course, its panel could not change its color. "Blowing up the problem itself is indeed an effective way to solve the problem."
"Forget it, I'd better not count on the technical support of the Empire." Hao Ren put his hand on his forehead and sighed. "And speaking of which … I have a lot of backup plans."
