Chapter 959 (2/2)
The ‘data signals’ jumping between the discs were beyond human comprehension, and it could not even be transcribed. So the testing instruments could only simulate the data transfer as jumping lights strobes on the holographic projection. Hao Ren was looking at the signals from the control dais and was immediately overwhelmed by it. Almost as if he was witnesssing an insane fireworks show.
“Just by adding one more, the resonance model had gone to hell…” amazement was apparent in the MDT’s voice. “I do not dare to think how many are there, and what will happen if they were all reassembled again. I dare say thisi thing may actually live up to its namesake, and as soon as all pieces are brought together, the data explosion is akin to a birth of a new world.”
“That’s why they are called the ‘World Engine.” Hao Ren smiled before looking at the guardian giants beside him. “How’s that? I told you I’d bring the Goddess’ relics back. I’m a man of my word.”
Muru, Lemendusa and Heve immediately rushed over as soon as they heard that third gilded disc was found. They were on Tannagost checking out the status of the plantlife in the woods there, and they did not even bother grooming themselves when they got back. Muru and Lemendusa had branches and leaves all over their clothes, and two tiny sprouts actually jutted out from Heve’s long hair. That’s right, two sprouts. For a ten meter tall giant, surely it was not weird to have two meter-long sprouts jutting out of your hair right? That said, Hao Ren had a hard time imagining how did the lady giant got the sprouts into her hair in the first place…
Muru dusted off his clothes as he smiled. “I of course believe you. Your actions have already gained the respect of the guardians. Your actions have already proven that you are on our side.”
Hao Ren leapt about as he tried to avoid the falling rocks and branches that was dusted off by Muru. “Well, aren’t you lot considerate. This is a proper science facility, can’t you guys clean up before coming? Say… were you guys actually inspecting the ecosystem or did you went on a survival trip in the wilds? Why are you guys in such a sorry state?”
“Zom was trying out a new way to simulate life and something went wrong. A forest experienced a massive growth and we had to go ‘trim the garden’. Heve spoke gently. “It is still not familiar with the equipment that you have designed for him after all.”
“Oh, so it does need help from experienced ‘gardeners’ like you.” Hao Ren replied casually before looking at Muru. “Actually, I have something to ask. I’m not sure if you have any idea what the ‘Denizens of the Stars’ are?”
“Denizens of the Stars?” Muru turned towards Lemendusa by reflect. “Is this their official title?”
“Oh right, the Denizens of the Stars is the name given to them by the mortal races. You may call them by other names.” Hao Ren slapped his forehead before getting the MDT to display the holographic projection of the denizens. The images were not necessarily accurate, as they were 3D models that was composed by Hao Ren based on a few ancient information that he have managed to collect, there is bound to be difference with realit. But if the guardian giants have seen them before, then it is very possible that they might recognise it. “Just like that, their outer form is a shapeless cloud of light, there’s energy points within them, no fixed form either, and height wise, they could probably be as tall as you guys.”
There was a slight change in Muru’s eyes as he saw the flickering light. Lemendusa and Heve too closed in by reflex. A moment later, Muru spoke. “I’m not sure if its them… Have I told you about the Eternals?”
Hao Ren immediately perked to attention. The guardians do have some information regarding the Denizens of the Stars. “You’ve mentioned them once, but there was no time for details then. And I was too busy that I forgot to follow up. So, these Denizens of the Stars are the Eternals?”
“No, these denizens may be one of the Eternals.” Muru’s expression was stern. “The Eternals are not a race.”
