Mounting was a rather complicated process, and even the Ravens who were in charge of it did not know the principle behind it. Perhaps only Jingle, who was in charge of controlling the Basilica of the World Tree, and Tawil and Bubble, who designed the whole plan, could explain everything. Anyway, our mission was to stay in the protective field of the shuttle, to prevent any accidents from happening: not accidents that could threaten us, but Artemis and the others.
Before the entire process was over, they would not be able to leave this world or even hide in the shuttles. Therefore, during the three-hour world fusion, these fragile information 'ghosts' that were even more vulnerable than humans would be forced to stay on the world fragment that was suffering a huge impact. The only thing protecting them was a newly modified transparent shield that had not even been tested in real life. Even if the shield was theoretically self-stabilizing against the information storm, we did not dare to let our guard down.
And as the ones being protected, Artemis and her companions obviously didn't know how dangerous their current situation was. Whether they were safe or not, it all depended on the two-dimensional plane that had no thickness at all. This made me anxious just thinking about it.
Ryuyin was a shy girl, but she was as curious and resilient as Qian Qian. (Could this attribute, which was synonymous with being carefree, really be considered an advantage?) Now that she had gotten over her initial state of unease, she began to curiously observe the hexagonal mechanical structure that was emitting a faint light in the sky. It was the force field generator at the stern of the shuttle. As the shuttle was now standing upright in the air, from the ground, there was only this mechanical disc with a diameter of tens of meters in the sky. From this angle, it really did fit the characteristics of a UFO in a cliché science fiction story.
"I suggest you don't stare at the force field generator," Lin Xue glanced at Ringing Yin, who had already taken out her phone to take a picture of the shuttle's ass. "When the second attitude changes, the light emitted by this thing will burn your brain to eighty percent."
"Whoa!" Ringing Yin exclaimed without stuttering this time, and then hurriedly hugged her head and squatted on the ground. Huwen shrugged at us innocently.
"Does anyone play cards?"
Shallow Shallow, who was bored out of her mind, suddenly came up with an idea. She took out a gigantic table from her Dimensional Pocket, and a flurry of cards rained down from the sky, covering the entire table.
"Ah Jun, Ah Jun! Anyway, he had nothing to do now! Let's play together!! "
Err, Shallow Shallow, it's not bad that you're trying to get rid of your depression, but don't you think it's too weird to play a game of cards with 20 people, where you have to make a cup of tea before it's your turn again, and the people on the other side of the table have to climb on top of the table to see the cards thrown by the other side?
"Information link established, transmitting to the broodmother … Preparing to implant the World Tree vines …"
And look, it's not like there's nothing going on. We can still watch a movie!
As the gentle female voice that came out of nowhere rang out again, the surrounding scenery clearly changed. The buildings, the streets, the trees, everything that came into view slowly underwent some kind of indiscernible transformation, they were gradually losing their sense of reality.
It was like a 3D model that was originally very realistic, but at this moment, the quality of the materials kept decreasing. Those things that looked incomparably real were now gradually becoming fake. The colors on their surface were becoming monotonous, and the transition of colors was becoming more and more abrupt. Light and reflection effects were slowly disappearing, and after a minute, they looked like rough 3D models that had just been modeled and painted. The surface was filled with a dull average color, and under the completely uniform glow, it gave off a cold feeling.
And then there was the lack of detail in these "models." The number of their surfaces was decreasing, and the originally soft curved transition was gradually becoming a combination of sharp trapezoids. A pale ghost student passed not far in front of us. When he first appeared in front of us, he was still a complete person, but when he was about to turn the corner of the flower bed, he had already turned into a ridiculous doll made of a bunch of rectangles, cylinders, and spheres.
And the so-called flower bed in front of us was now a pile of white blocks of different heights and a large gray rectangular block.
Artemis and her companions held their breath as they watched the world they were familiar with gradually turning into a bizarre and crude model. These students tightly grasped the hands of the people around them, and then huddled together in horror. At this moment, no one had the idea of leaving the transparent shield to take a look, especially when they saw a humanoid figure walking in from the distance suddenly turn into a paper man in midair, and then collapse to the ground as a moving script.
"This … this is the first impact?!"
Artemis managed to keep her cool for once. She swallowed hard, then cautiously came closer and asked in a low voice.
"No, this is just a preparation." I shook my head, and then pointed ahead. "When there is a flash of light, that is the first impact."
Almost as soon as I finished speaking, the impact alarm sounded. "Inserting the Shadow City Adaptation Law. Activation password: Fight for the Glory of the Empire. Attention, the first impact is coming. Host Hive, please prepare for impact."
Three seconds later, a blue flash suddenly exploded from the direction of the gymnasium. The flash was not strong, but it cleared everything in an instant.
The surrounding scenery that had turned into paper and scribbles quickly disintegrated with the blue flash as the center, like a beach being flattened by the waves without any resistance. When the blue light faded, everything that Artemis was familiar with disappeared. Darkness, silence, emptiness.
The ground turned into a flat, smooth mirror like a black crystal. On it, blue light grids were distributed at intervals of two meters, like a well-checked drawing. And above us, it was still the same blue honeycomb-shaped sky. Other than the shuttle and a small group of people below, the world had turned into the simplest state, like a blank piece of paper waiting to be filled.
And in this incredibly simple world, there was only one place that attracted the most attention.
That was where the blue flash first appeared, in the direction of the gymnasium. There, a strong beam of light rose into the air like a tower to heaven, illuminating everything around it. The square light grids on the ground appeared to distort around it, and gradually concentrated at the bottom of the beam of light. We could already faintly see that something was growing there.
"The first impact has ended. Connecting to the Basilica of the World Tree. Activation password: Jingle is really amazing. Attention, the second impact is coming. Host Hive, please prepare for impact with the defense system."
… This password … must have been Jingle's idea, right?
Just as I exclaimed, the second impact from the Basilica of the World Tree swept across the world with an even more miraculous and ferocious momentum than the first impact!
Mountains, rivers, forests, plains, boulders, unknown beasts …
I was truly unable to describe all of this. A world exploded in front of me. The black grids under my feet instantly transformed into an endless grassland. Ancient trees that were thousands of years old pierced through the ground with loud explosions, covering the sky. The flat land rapidly grew and distorted, forming all sorts of landforms. The sunken areas were quickly filled with water, forming rivers and lakes. Dazzling spots of light danced in the wind, transforming into beautiful and elegant exotic beasts. These beasts crouched down and drank from the spring water at the beginning of the world, or they curiously jumped in front of us, looking at us in amazement as we were protected by a transparent barrier.
Alright, at this moment, my impression of Dingdang changed a little. It seems like she does have a little bit of ability in creating things …
Even if this world was only a hundred kilometers long at most.
"Boss! Everything's going well! "
Liliana's voice sounded in the distance. I first ordered the shuttle above us to deactivate the protective barrier, and then looked in the direction of her voice. I saw a beautiful little girl with elven pointy ears and waist-length green hair riding a unicorn towards us. She was wearing a lake green dress, had elven pointy ears, and had waist-length green hair.
For just a moment, I felt like I was seeing a little fairy pouncing towards me. Liliana's current holy and beautiful appearance had astonishing destructive power. In fact, it was even possible to temporarily forget about her usual lack of moral integrity.
What a stunning wild loli!
Liliana easily stopped in front of us as she ran over on her unicorn. Her natural talent of being able to communicate with any animal without any barriers allowed her to easily control this stubborn creature that had previously caused trouble for Sicarro from the south to the north of the shadow city. That's right, these exotic beasts weren't naturally born in this world. They were all species that Jingle had previously researched out of boredom. Now, I was going to tearfully announce that I finally had a place to settle these beasts that constantly disturbed the security of the shadow city …
"Thank you …"
Liliana jumped down from her unicorn and lightly hugged its neck. She rubbed her little face against its smooth, white fur, and the unicorn let out a strange "gu gu" sound. This caused our elf Liliana to frown slightly.
"This won't do! It's too much! "
"Gu gu …" The unicorn, who was learning some unknown language, continued to coo resolutely.
"Two pieces, no more than that! I don't have many left! "
"Gu gu!!" The unicorn continued to stubbornly protest. We watched on in bewilderment.
In the end, Liliana couldn't win against this abnormally stubborn fellow. She angrily kicked the unicorn's hind leg, and then casually took out a large bag of biscuits and hung it on its single horn. "You glutton! Next time, I'm going to make you carry Sicarro on your back and parade him on the streets! "
… Farewell forever, the few precious childhood memories I had left. A holy unicorn and forest elf turned into a greedy glutton and a violent girl …
"Boss, how is it? This world is pretty, isn't it? "
After the beautiful elf violently kicked away the holy unicorn, she bounced in front of me. The only thing missing from her shaking head was a sign with the words "Come and praise me" written on it.
Tsk, it's as if you created this place.
Just as this thought flashed in my mind, I suddenly felt the space beside me fluctuate slightly. A small green figure flew out from a palm-sized space door with a swoosh. Then … it went straight through the gap between the crowd and rushed towards the stream not far away like a cannonball, leaving behind only shouts along the way.
"Wah wah wah wah wah!! Water! Water! It's so bitter so bitter!! "
Under my stupefied gaze, the goddess who had just created this world almost completely submerged herself in the stream. She didn't even raise her head for an entire minute!
After a long time, the almost bloated Jingle finally solved her urgent problem. She held onto her slightly bulging stomach and swayed as she floated over. Then, she habitually laid on top of my head and let out a long breath. "Phew … Jingle finally came back to life. I thought I was going to die from the bitterness …"
Who told you to think of such an idiotic idea to use a shadow clone to eat candy! Don't you know that eating too much of that thing is bitter?
I fiercely ridiculed this stupid little goddess in my heart. I stretched out my hand, intending to take off the little thing. Having a tiny little thing on my head in front of a bunch of people was too terrible. Unfortunately, just as I stretched out my hand, Jingle saw through my intentions and immediately shouted in panic, "Ah, no! I drank too much water just now! If Ah Jun grabs it, I will definitely spit it out! "
In my mind, a strange scene of me holding Jingle's watering can and watering the flowers and plants under my feet appeared.
"Little bean, I'll teach you a method. You can put a space tunnel in your stomach and then throw all the water into the space …"
As soon as I said that, Dingdang, who was on top of my head, stopped rolling around to aid digestion. Then, I felt a very subtle gaze of disdain sweep over my head.
"Who came up with this idea? Even Jingle didn't come up with something so senseless! "
Ha! You're being looked down upon. Lin Xue, you're being looked down upon by a three inch tall little fellow!
"Ah Jun, you should worry about the current serious matter." My elder sister's voice suddenly sounded in my mind, interrupting my happy interaction with my pet. Only then did I notice the changes in the situation around me.
After the initial shock, Artemis and the "Awakeners" had now recovered one by one. They looked at the fairyland-like new world around them in amazement, and at the same time, they kept casting exploratory glances at them.
And all the girls' gazes were unsurprisingly focused on a certain little animal who was still in a daze and happily looking around on top of its owner's head.
Liliana, who had long green hair and long elven pointy ears due to the Divine Art state, and whose appearance and temperament had changed greatly, also attracted the attention of many people. The unicorn from earlier might not have been noticed because they were all in a state of shock, but the elf Liliana and the tiny Jingle definitely attracted the attention of the residents of this new world.
"This is God." I grinned and pointed at the tiny one on top of my head. The latter was startled and then habitually rushed over to hug the finger in front of her. So when I pointed at Liliana, a small and exquisite Goddess of Life hung on my finger. "This is the Pope."
Finally, I pointed at myself. "I'm their owner."
"Wow! Lina discovered that she had also been classified as a feed, and immediately cried out in alarm. Dingdang, on the other hand, started nodding her head without a care in the world.
Was this little thing proud of its identity as a pet?!
"I should be awake now …" Artemis pinched her face in disbelief. "Aren't you guys some Empire from another world? God? Immortals? "
"It's quite complicated to explain. Let's talk as we walk."
I smiled and led the group in a certain direction. It was where the 'gymnasium' used to be, but that building had become an echo of the past along with the old world. Now, a brand new Sanctuary occupied that place. The reason why the fifty Ravens didn't come with Liliana was because they were preparing the last few steps to activate the Sanctuary.
It wasn't easy to explain everything about the Xiling Empire, the multiverse, the system of the Gods and so on to these lucky souls who had been reborn. There were too many things involved and too complicated. Even if I explained it concisely, it would probably take three days and three nights to finish explaining everything. Thus, we directly activated the mental chain and sent all the publicly available information to Artemis and the others through the Information Sharing System. When the latter discovered that a large amount of information was suddenly gushing out of their brains, they were shocked at first, but then vaguely understood something. They all fell silent and obediently accepted the local download.
This should have been something that could be completed in an instant, but unfortunately, the physique of ordinary humans was quite fragile, and processing such a large amount of information at the same time exceeded their processing limit. It took more than ten minutes for the information to be uploaded. After that, I couldn't help but sigh: Sure enough, using USB still requires high speed!
"That's all."
After completing the exchange of information, my words woke Artemis and the others who were still intoxicated by the massive amount of information. The latter rubbed their foreheads and looked at me with eyes full of surprise and awe.
Well, there's no need to be in awe. Anyway, it won't be long before all of you will be led into the gutter by the veterans here and the unreliable higher-ups of the Empire …
"This is a new world, a new territory of the Empire." At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in front of us, attracting everyone's attention. I looked in the direction of the voice, and it turned out that Sandora was already waiting for us in front of us surrounded by a group of Empire generals. "You have accepted the rescue of the Empire, so it should also be your duty to become a glorious citizen of the Empire. From today onwards, you will be under the rule of the Xiling Empire. Work hard, live proudly, and obey the laws of the Empire. And I, will bring you peace."
This girl even secretly sent me a message. "Ah Jun! Hurry up and settle these refugees so that we can go home and eat! "
With just this sentence, the glorious image of Sandora in front of me collapsed in my mind for the nth time.
