Chapter 499 (1/2)
Regardless of the tragic and terrible disaster that took place here 10,000 years ago, no matter what kind of chaotic power the planet was once shrouded in, it had now become an eternal place of serenity—at least it was the case for the life on this planet.
After resetting the entire ecosystem, the First Born seemed to have withered after completed its mission. Hao Ren did not know whether this ‘whithering’ process was a predetermined setting, he needed to find a third planet which was consumed by the First Born in order to determine it. But at least in Tannagost, the First Born had become a wreckage that spread throughout the planet. It fed the third season ecosystem with its body which was filled with nutrition and primitive energy. Its powerful soul energy whithered and vanished with the body. Hao Ren observed the sky with the spiritual vision he had just acquired and found the spiritual residual of the First Born.
The electromagnetic wave of the vengeful spirit was the only thing floating on this devastated and slowly-recovering planet. The ancient souls who had lost themselves only occasionally remembered the glory of Tannaean Civilization in their flapdoodles. The vengeful spirits would only become frantic when aliens invaded the planet, or they themselves were transmitted through the ancient spatial fissure into the real world. However, as long as no one disturbed them, they were actually incredibly calm.
“The vengeful spirit is a mixture, an error, and an electromagnetic wave that records a large amount of data. If we could build enough ‘broadcast’ towers on this planet, it’s possible to re-direct this turbulent energy,” Hao Ren led everyone out of the rubble of the city hall. He stood on a mound nearby as he looked at the distant mountains. “Then let’s solve the problem of the vengeful spirit from the root. Do you have any similar devices, MDT?”
“Looks like the basic work has been done very well lately and you start to think on your own.” The MDT rarely complimented Hao Ren directly. “There is no directly available equipment, but the R&D host computer of the Petrachelys should be able to design such energy tower. The energy tower requires only a few ultra-high-power filter coils and a suitable computing device. The spacecraft’s synthesis plant and autonomous robots could handle the production and installation jobs.”
Lily wagged her tail and said, “Then will these vengeful spirits be restored back to their original Tannaean selves?”
“No, the Tannaeans have gone extinct. We could only let those vengeful spirits turn into an harmless energy back to the world it belongs.” Hao Ren shook his head and then turned and instructed the MDT. “Go and arrange the necessary manufacturing and installation equipment. You are in charge of the onboard plant this time around.”
The MDT took a shot on Hao Ren’s shoulder. “Just like you used to command.”
Hao Ren replied, “…Not that I can be serious every time. Couldn’t you jsut let me?”
“I still can’t figure out how the spatial fissure connects to Earth.” A thought suddenly crossed Vivian’s mind. “Judging from the technological capability of the Tannaeans, they didn’t have the ability to cross the Wall of Reality.”
“That kind of dimensinal door is originally a short-distance teleporting gatewat used on the surface of the planets. It’s power output is very low,” Hao Ren nodded. “The activity of the First Born might have caused changes to the portals, but anyway, the portals are still under the control of the resonance stone. Anyway, if there’s any unexplained question, we could always attribute it to the First Born.”
Becky took a look at Hao Ren and then Vivian, making sure that they had finished their dicussion before she raised her hand slowly. “Can I say something?”
Hao Ren and Vivian spoke in unison, “Yes, please!”
“As the works of tomb-raiding and saving the world have come to an end, is it time to discuss the question of sending me home?” Becky rubbed her hands, and her eyes glowed in gold. “Oh… You guys have promised to send me home once a stable door is found! Now are we not in The Plane of Dreams? We don’t have to worry about temporary residence permit which is only valid for half a month anymore! Please quickly think of a way to send me home. There is still a large piece of menor waiting for me to claim.”
Then only Hao Ren realised the issue about Becky. He smacked his forehead and looked at the mercenary girl with a weird expression. “I really didn’t realise that I could send you back so soon. It’s so surreal.”
“Don’t covet my beauty until you’re not willing to send me back.” Becky became nervous and deadpan when she saw Hao Ren’s expression. “You promised to pay for all transportation…”
