Muru's report made Hao Ren realize that the incident was unusual. The "Umbral Realm" he had been looking for for a long time seemed to have finally surfaced.
Muru received a distress signal from other guardians in his meditation, but the signal came from a place that theoretically fell into the Umbral Realm along with the Star of Creation. If the signal was not fake, then there was only one answer: the Umbral Realm and the main universe were reconnected.
"I can confirm the authenticity of the signal," Muru dispelled Hao Ren's last doubt about the news. "We guardians have a special telepathy, which was specially designed by our mother. Unless there is another god faking it, I am unlikely to receive a fake signal."
Hao Ren looked serious. "Can you determine the coordinates of the source of the signal? Is the Gate of Solenne still in its original position? "
"The location has changed. It's in a place that I don't know," Muru said as he took out a black metal device from his pocket. "Maybe the big bang moved the Gate of Solenne to another location in the universe, or maybe the galaxy is orbiting on its own in a mysterious trajectory. The source of the signal is very unusual. I analyzed the keyword 'Solenne' from a ciphertext that only the guardians can read. This is the information I recorded, but I don't know if your device can convert it into a navigation signal. "
"My device can convert anything, it will take a little time at most." Hao Ren nodded and motioned Lily to take the recording device that Muru handed over.
The recording device was used by the giants. For Muru, it was equivalent to the size of a palm, but if thrown to an earthling, it would be the size of a whole person. Lily obediently took the recording device and held it above her head. From afar, it looked like a coffin with legs …
This husky was really obedient.
Hao Ren and Lily sent the recording device to CARS, and after connecting it to the space station mainframe, they began to analyze the data inside. He found that the coordinates recorded by Muru were very vague and had a strange mathematical structure. On the one hand, this was because there was bound to be error in converting mental signals into mathematical coordinates that could be read by machines, and on the other hand, these giants used a very unique coding method. The space station mainframe could process the data, it just needed a little time.
As the device began to process the data, Hao Ren returned to Muru's side. They stood on a hill on the west side of Alamanda, overlooking the land. Lily, like an agile little monkey, darted to the top of Muru's staff and looked into the distance with her hands cupping her eyes. "Wow — it's all grown up. I remember the last time I came here, this side of the mountain was still a wasteland. "
Hao Ren didn't hear what Lily was yelling. There was only one question lingering in his mind. "The dog has already escaped from the tree. How can the cat survive?"
Lily stood on top of the staff for a while. Finally, she could not stand the height anymore. She flipped over and slid down again. She tugged at Hao Ren's sleeve and said, "Mr. Landlord! I see a city on the other side of the lake! The architecture doesn't look like it belongs to Tannagost! "
"That's a settlement built by the Zorm people. It's not a city yet, but it's growing fast," Muru's voice rumbled from above. "There are many new towns like this around Alamanda. People are recovering from the blood pool of the town every day. Do you want to go and have a look? "
Before Hao Ren said anything, Y 'lisabet had already jumped up. "Let's go and have a look. Right, Uncle Ren?"
"Let's go and have a look," Hao Ren smiled and nodded. "I wonder if we can meet any acquaintances."
Under Muru's lead, they came to the new town near the 'fountain of life.' Muru chose to stay outside the town due to his huge body size. Hao Ren and the rest of them walked into the town on their own. They saw simple houses arranged in a large open space. Some of these houses were made from the surrounding natural environment, and some were like industrialized simple houses. As the entire settlement was still expanding rapidly, there were no walls or obvious boundaries around the town, but there was a watchtower-like platform at regular intervals, on which there were people on duty.
All the roads and ground in the city were just flat mud, and only a few places were paved with synthetic materials like plastic boards. There were no more advanced urban facilities. The road signs were hand-painted wooden boards, the street lamps were wooden stakes with oil cans hanging on them, and the water supply facilities were man-made wells and open ditches. Everything looked primitive and crude, but it was systematically designed with modern planning methods. This settlement gave people a strange sense of incongruity between civilization and primitive, and the mix of industrial simple houses and stone and wood huts magnified this sense of incongruity. Hao Ren felt as if he had walked into a disordered stage play, but he thought that maybe this was the situation of the recovery of civilization under certain circumstances.
A highly civilized group with advanced technology returned to a primitive society to rebuild everything.
But the people of Zorm still had some lucky spots, at least they could get the initial supply of supplies: the simple industrial products in the town. Hao Ren could recognize that some of them were produced in the factory he left on this planet, and many of them may have come from the nearby ruins of Tannagost. He saw a pale gold synthetic sheet on the outer wall of a residential house, which was a unique material of the ruins of Tannagost.
The residents in the town soon noticed that there were visitors, and Hao Ren saw a few men in rough overalls coming to greet him. When they were still far away, Hao Ren suddenly sighed. "To be honest, this is really the first time I see the people of Zorm — in reality."
Then he took the MDT out of his pocket, and after a few switches, he transferred Nolan's holographic projection from the spaceship to here. Nolan's figure was floating above the MDT, only about the height of 1.5 Lil Peas. She did not know why Hao Ren suddenly called her over. "Hao Ren? What's up? I'm doing maintenance on my engine. "
"Nolan, come and see your compatriots. This is the new town of Zorm, and they have entered the real world in large numbers."
Nolan looked around the town through the eyes of the MDT. After a long while, she replied as if it had nothing to do with her, "I don't feel anything. I'm just an AI, and I have never lived in the real world from the beginning. Can I be their compatriot?"
The MDT snorted. "Still thinking about this?"
At this time, the men in overalls had come before Hao Ren. They first looked at Y 'zaks' height and the projection device next to Hao Ren in amazement, and then tried to guess the identity of the group of visitors. "Could it be … the feudal lords?"
Tannagost Zorm was Hao Ren's stronghold, and the people of Zorm who rebuilt their home on this planet were, of course, the people here. Now that the old social order had completely collapsed and all human beings were scattered and reorganized, the earliest of these people who woke up decided to accept the authority of the owner of this planet. This was not only their own decision, but also the will of Zorm, the First Born, conveyed to everyone through the mental broadcast.
Since Zorm, the First Born, had a great influence on this civilization, its will of course carried a lot of weight.
The people of Zorm, who had just woken up from the dream in the virtual world, already knew what had happened to their home planet. They still could not understand and accept the disaster, but the reality was in front of them. As a pragmatic and proactive race, they did not complain in this situation, but chose the safest and most stable way to actively rebuild their society. Hao Ren's authority on this planet had been recognized by most people, although he did not seem to pay much attention to the progress in this regard, because everything was handled by the AI of CARS, the MDT, and the two guardians here.
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment before he remembered what to say. He quickly nodded and tried to sound reliable. "Oh, it's me. I'm here to check on the situation."
As he said, he was thinking about what he should say to these people of Zorm. Apart from giving a few remote instructions to the AI here at the beginning, he did not pay much attention to the reconstruction of planet Tannagost. His degree of involvement here was even less than that in Aerym.
He was probably the lord of the planet with the least sense of existence in the world. If he were a company boss, he would be the kind of person who no one knew where he went, and would be thrown out by the security guards because he forgot to bring his badge.
But Hao Ren's embarrassment did not last long. An unexpected voice suddenly came from the side. "Hao Ren?"
Then the voice called again. "… Nolan?"
