This was a planet full of vitality, and it had already developed a rather advanced civilization.
I discovered this when I flew to the planet from space. There were many small and medium-sized man-made facilities in space. They looked like space stations or large satellites. These facilities had a uniform shape. They were basically spherical polyhedrons with sizes ranging from tens of meters to hundreds of meters. Regardless of the size, they all had a similar shape. Occasionally, I could see a combination of many polyhedrons stacked on top of each other. However, the connecting beams between the buildings were obviously movable. It was obvious that this combination was also temporary and could be disassembled at any time. These polyhedron space stations were mainly grayish-white in color. Their outer shells were decorated with sky blue or light green paint. Some of the outer shells of the space facilities had unknown words on them. Sometimes, there would be one or two parallel sets of slender "metal needles" that were probably antennas or something like that. Apart from that, these space facilities also had primitive electromagnetic shields that were used to defend against high-energy particles and other random radiation in space.
All the space facilities were powered by electricity. A portion of the energy came from solar panels. However, I could also sense that there was something similar to a fusion furnace inside them. The latter might be the main source of energy.
I had come into contact with many different civilizations over the years. Based on the energy used by these space facilities and the way they changed their orbit, it was easy to determine that their builders were more advanced than Earth's, at least in terms of space technology and energy technology.
"This thing is quite beautiful." I approached the nearest small space station. I examined the space facility that was relatively primitive compared to the technology of the Empire while I was invisible. I muttered to myself as I searched for any entrance. In the end, I couldn't find any entrance after looking around. Moreover, there didn't seem to be any signs of life inside. "Could it be an unmanned station?"
I checked the surrounding space stations and found that they were all unmanned stations. Only one of the larger polyhedron space stations had living quarters for people. However, it was obviously a manned space station that was on duty on a regular basis. There was currently no one inside.
However, just as I was about to head to the surface to check on the situation, there was a sudden movement in my spirit sea. Then, I suddenly remembered something … It seemed that I wasn't alone either! There were two girls who were bound to me!
I hurriedly ran to a relatively spacious area and set up all sorts of concealment devices to prevent the natives from seeing me. Then, I rummaged through my mind as hard as I could. A moment later, a ray of white light descended from the sky and slowly formed into the form of the angel sister. Alaya looked around with a confused expression. As long as I didn't take the initiative to greet him, he would stay in someone else's mind until the end of time. The first thing that came out of his mouth was, "Brother Monarch, is the fight over?"
As soon as the angel sister finished speaking, another small figure appeared in front of me in a flash of white light. It was a little girl who was not even a meter tall. However, this little girl was much more lively than the silly cat angel. She looked around and realized that she was in an unfamiliar place. The first thing she did was to run to a distant space station. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and pulled her back.
"It's over long ago." I didn't have the slightest bit of temper with this idiot Alaya. I thought to myself, "Even if the sky falls and the earth shatters, you will not be shaken." Then, I carried Xiao Jing and placed her on my shoulder as I explained the situation in front of me. "It seems that when the engine exploded, it blew us quite far away. Right now, our communication with our family is intermittent. However, the situation has basically calmed down … "
I immediately told Alaya what I knew and also told him about Sandora's current situation. The Ulysses Imperial Power was sleeping in space two light years away. Sandora could only obediently be a glowing celestial body for the time being.
"Oh —" Alaya dragged out his voice and nodded. Then, he blinked his eyes and looked around. "Are we going to the planet below?"
"Yes, let's go invisible." I nodded. Just as I was about to turn around, I felt Doll Girl No. 2 on my shoulder strangling my neck. A familiar feeling spread through my entire body along my spine. "… Speaking of which, why did this child learn from her sister to pull out people's heads!"
I was in a flurry before I managed to calm the girl on my shoulder. I thought to myself, "As expected, late born children are prone to neurosis. It's one thing for her to run around in the spiritual world, but when she runs out into the real world, she's as playful and playful as any of the naughty children at home." I gave Xiao Jing a bunch of shiny toys and told her to busy herself with them. Alaya and I quickly descended to the surface of the planet below.
Speaking of which, I would usually bring Alaya along when I was exploring or traveling to another world (After all, she was a more reliable binding equipment than Jingle). However, other than her, I would definitely bring other people with me. It was rare for me to have only the silly cat angel by my side like today. Normally, I wouldn't bring Alaya to a foreign place to wander around — — there was no other reason than that I was too silly.
Look at me, I was already confused and my head was covered in mosquito coils when I arrived at a foreign place in the middle of nowhere. If I were to bring along a naturally silly girl who was always confused even when she was at home, wouldn't I be thinking that my intelligence was too high? I would rather bring Bear Grylls' cookbook than her!
However, Sandora was currently sleeping soundly, and I didn't know where the others were, so I couldn't contact them. Xing Chen and Hilla had probably been blown to a place even further than me. If I didn't want to die of boredom during the journey, I could only make do with this silly girl and team up with her.
I turned my head to look at the spiritual girl on my shoulder who was excitedly looking around … It seemed that even if Alaya wasn't present, this journey wouldn't be boring.
We randomly chose a seemingly desolate place to land. It was a vast grassland that stretched as far as the eye could see.
The sky was clear and there were almost no clouds. However, the atmosphere here was clearly different from that of Earth. Not only was the atmosphere denser, the sky was also a very light blue-green color. Perhaps it was due to some sort of photochemical reaction at high altitudes, we could occasionally see spots that resembled small auroras flashing across the sky. Although it was very bizarre, it was also very beautiful.
Beneath our feet was a layer of velvet grass that was only a few centimeters tall. The leaves of these plants were also blue-green in color, which was obviously different from the plants on Earth. Furthermore, these plants were extremely tough. Even though they were only a few centimeters tall, stepping on them felt as though one was walking on a thick carpet. The velvet grass extended to the far end of the horizon. The terrain in sight was very flat, with only a few small hills rising in the distance. The grassland was dotted with some colorful wildflowers and low shrubs, but there were no large animals, and no birds in the sky.
This seemed to be a planet with a different ecological environment from Earth, but overall, it was still a planet that fit my aesthetic standards. If that was the case, our luck wasn't bad. At the very least, we didn't end up in a strange place where the insectoids ruled the world — it wasn't that I was biased against the insectoids. After all, there were friendly civilizations like the Toberu insectoids within the borders of the Empire that were easy to interact with. It was just that most insectoid civilizations' aesthetic standards were rather unconventional, and the environment of the planet that they dominated would also affect one's appetite … Er, let's not talk too much about it.
The temperature here should be a little too cold for Earthlings, and the gravity seemed to be a little too high. However, Alaya and I naturally wouldn't have any problems. The two of us first took a deep breath and then laughed foolishly — it was indeed much more comfortable to return to the atmosphere from outer space.
I took out the probe from my dimensional pocket and directed it to a group of man-made buildings that we had discovered before we landed. "Let's see what the natives here look like. Er, let's hope that the Star Domain Protoss's information disturbance can also spread to this place. Then, we won't have to disguise ourselves anymore."
Alaya didn't say anything. She was already squatting on the ground and studying the weeds … This girl is really childish, but is there a need to compete with your own daughter to see who finds the strongest straw?!
Looking at this silly angel playing with little Xijing in the blink of an eye, I felt as though I had brought a child on a field trip — and two children at that.
However, there was also good news: The probe soon transmitted images from afar. I was pleasantly surprised but not surprised to see that the natives of this world were almost the same as Earthlings!
"Looks like we don't have to disguise ourselves anymore." I saw that the images transmitted by the probe were actually quite similar to the cities on Earth, just that the buildings were more technologically advanced, and the people were dressed more strangely. This made me quite happy, but when I turned around and saw Alaya lowering her head to comb her feathers, I instantly couldn't bring myself to be happy. There was still someone here that needed to disguise themselves …
Alaya couldn't retract her wings, but if she just wanted to go out, she could use optical techniques to disguise herself as a normal person. However, we all knew that this silly angel's brain wasn't very good — her disguise would always have some problems every now and then.
But soon, I knew that I didn't have to worry about that, because the probe sent back images of a new area. On the images, there was … an angel with wings on her back!?
My first thought was to quickly confirm if there was a problem with the probe, and if it had recorded and broadcasted the scenes I had captured in the City of Shadows. But soon, I realized that the probe was working normally. The holographic image before me was indeed showing the streets of a local city dozens of kilometers away. On the bustling streets of the city, I could occasionally see angels dressed in elegant white robes or long skirts strolling leisurely in the courtyard. They were different from Alaya's silver hair and golden eyes. Most of them had blonde or brown hair, but other than that, they looked exactly the same as the Xi Ling Angels. The locals seemed to be very familiar with these angels strolling on the streets. They would either walk together or stop to chat. Everything was a peaceful and natural scene of daily life.
Were there 'angels' that coexisted with humans in this world?
I could only interpret it this way. Although I had never seen such a place before (except for the City of Shadows), the scene before me was undeniable. This was probably one of the results of the information disturbance in the Star Region.
This time, Alaya and I didn't need to disguise ourselves. We just needed to adjust our clothes a little and we would be able to blend into the local city. I recalled Little Xijing back into the Spiritual World (In any case, this child didn't have much interest in the outside world. She was already tired of playing). Then, I led the silly cat angel to the local city dozens of kilometers away.
"Oh — — Brother Monarch, this is a very peaceful place. The atmosphere is great." Alaya looked at the people and buildings around her with a curious and happy expression. She didn't even need to change her clothes here. She usually wore a gold-threaded white muslin dress, which was almost identical to the clothes of the angels on the streets. The same clothes, the same 'race', and the same temperament. All of these made Alaya have a good impression of this place. After strolling around for a while, she excitedly ran over to chat with an angel who was taking a stroll. And it seemed that … the two of them seemed to be quite agreeable?
I didn't expect that silly cat to have such a friendly side. So it turned out that her talent in interacting with strangers was all because of her own race? But no matter what, this place … was indeed quite peaceful.
At the very least, it was so based on the scene before me.
This city was extremely large, comparable to the various mega-cities on Earth. Tall and majestic modern and even ultra-modern buildings could be seen everywhere in the city. On the wide and clean streets, low-altitude vehicles similar to cars could be seen moving swiftly and gracefully. In mid-air, oval-shaped civilian aircrafts could be seen flying along the 'air paths' marked by light beams. Even higher up in the city, larger airships could be seen slowly drifting by. This sort of three-dimensional transportation network was very common in the City of Shadows. Although the transportation network in front of me wasn't as flourishing and advanced as the one in the City of Shadows, it was still very orderly. This city gave off a feeling of 'Earth's near future'. It was like a scene from a sci-fi movie. It was wonderful, but it didn't exceed one's imagination.
There were many residents here, and the level of prosperity was commensurate with the city's size. Alaya and I were probably in a downtown area, which was why we could see densely packed yet orderly pedestrians everywhere. The residents of this city had all sorts of skin colors, and even their facial features were slightly different. This meant that they came from different races. But no matter what race they came from, they all seemed to have an incredibly harmonious atmosphere. Most of the people on the streets had satisfied and happy smiles. No matter what I saw or what the probes could see from the other parts of the city, there were no signs of fighting or arguing. Everyone seemed to be living together peacefully, giving off the impression that this place was a paradise.
Perhaps this had something to do with the "angels" that could be seen everywhere on the streets?
I noticed that the angel residents here had a similar "aura" and "aura effect" to Alaya. No matter if they were male or female, they all had a calming power about them. Just being close to them would make one feel relaxed. The locals seemed to have an equal relationship with the angels. However, the locals were obviously respectful of the angels. This was probably related to the angels' "social purifier" effect.
At this moment, Alaya had already finished chatting with someone. She floated over briskly with a silly … er, smile on her face.
"This city is called Ryan City. It is a city where humans and angels work together to communicate. It is also the largest settlement in the vicinity." The angel sister seemed to have found out quite a lot of things, and it seemed that she really liked this place. "If you start from the road north of here and follow the road for a few dozen kilometers, there will be another city. It is the Pure City that was built by the angels. To the south is the metropolis' New View City 'that was built by the humans. Brother Monarch, this is a great place. The people here seem to be quite friendly. "
"Yeah, I noticed that too." I nodded cheerfully. Then, I looked at Alaya with slight surprise. "Speaking of which, I didn't expect you to really be able to find out so much. You usually stumble when talking to strangers."
"Because we are of the same race!" Alaya floated in midair with a proud expression. "At least we look alike!"
I went forward and patted Alaya's wings. "Alright, alright. It's good that you know that there aren't any racial issues here. It will probably take a few more days before Sandora wakes up. Let's just treat this place as a vacation."
Actually, I had experienced a lot of traveling in the outside world, especially fighting battles all day long. I had seen too much of the smoke of war and the end of the world. Now, my requirements for the environment of a foreign world had already been lowered to the minimum standard. Basically, as long as a world war didn't break out on the spot, it would be considered a peaceful and prosperous world. Occasionally, I would randomly travel to the macro world and randomly transmigrate to a battlefield. As long as the battlefield wasn't in outer space, I was willing to do so. This was the training of one's mentality.
Of course, one could also say that the more one trained one's nerves, the thicker they would become. In any case, for Alaya and me, as long as this universe didn't react to the Chaos Abyss, and as long as there weren't any lunatic species that wanted to bring about the end of the world, and this place didn't have any "historical issues" left behind by the old Empire, this was a great place for a vacation. Even though we had just fought to the death on the battlefield for the rights and interests of all the species in the Void, it was a little strange for us to go on a vacation here and there. But it wasn't like we had anything to do.
So, I calmly dragged Alaya along as we strolled the streets. After all, the angels on this planet didn't seem to be a rare species, so we didn't have to worry about being surrounded by people. However, since we weren't familiar with the people and the place, the angel sister and I would occasionally run into locals who came up to us to ask about the situation. Basically, it was people who saw that we were confused, so they were eager to help us. I was more than happy to make things easier for them, so I simply told them that Alaya and I were from another city. This could be considered an all-purpose excuse. It was more or less enough for the two of us to learn about the local customs and customs of this place.
Just like that, we strolled around and asked around. Unknowingly, we arrived at a relatively quiet area in the south of the city.
Perhaps it was because Alaya naturally liked the quiet, and I didn't like to join in on the fun. The two of us continued to walk towards a place where no one would go.
This area seemed to have existed for a long time. The surrounding buildings were obviously not as new as the downtown area, and they didn't have much of a high-tech feel to them. Although the style was a little strange, the glass walls and reinforced concrete buildings gave off a feeling similar to Earth. However, it wasn't much to look like Earth. There were countless worlds in the Void, and there were countless planets in every universe. I had seen many worlds similar to Earth in my daily life.
But for some reason … I felt a sense of familiarity with the streets of this alien planet.
Even though I had never seen any of the buildings before, even though the street lamps and the vehicles on the road weren't products of Earth, I still felt that this place was familiar. The length of the street, the position of each alley, the order of the buildings on both sides, and the difference in height …
Alaya and I stopped at the intersection of two streets. There was a very large house here.
It had a plain and unadorned three-storey building. The top floor seemed to be a small attic. It could be said to be a villa, but it was really plain. The simple square layout made it look more like a warehouse. It could be said to be a simple residence, but it occupied such a large area of the city, and it even had a rather spacious courtyard around it.
There was a fountain in the middle of the courtyard. No matter how I looked at it, it didn't fit in with the surroundings.
