Chapter 1332 - How the Earlier Plan Worked (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lockmarton’s threat to the world had finally been removed.
But for Hao Ren, his work had just begun.
The experience in Collow was the most special one. The mysteries, clues, and relics he found were more than any previous adventure, and their importance was significantly higher than what he discovered in the past. With Lockmarton’s demise, Hao Ren had to start working on follow-up actions. The reconstruction of Collow was just a small part of it.
“Because of the tremendous damage caused by the Tide of Chaos this time and the collapse of the strength of the kingdoms of Order, everyone in Collow should no longer act in isolation but work together in the reconstruction efforts. As the Sanctum has the most complete collection of classic cultural works and technical materials, the Sanctum shall lead in the construction effort. Specifically, Calaxus I will be the person in charge.
“The storm of Chaos over the mainland of Kanaan has dissipated. The Sanctum will set up a joint expedition team with other kingdoms to explore Kanaan. The ancient continent is the common heritage left behind by the ancestors of all intelligent races. No one kingdom should unilaterally take control of the continent.
“Since Lockmarton is dead, the ancient seal of Collow will be removed, and the various sanctions by the goddess of creation will also be lifted at once. When that happens, there will be significant changes in the sky. Astral casters and observers need not panic. We will distribute the changed star chart and astrological table to you.
“As the goddess of creation is temporarily away, Goddess Raven 12345 will provide protection to Collow. Calaxus has mentioned it earlier, but Hao Ren has a few points to add. Unlike humans, there is no conflict of faith among the true goddesses. So the believers in this world do not need to worry about being forced to change their religion, blamed for their faith, and taking action to defend their faith. The goddess of creation is still the supreme god of Collow, and that will not change.
“We will build a series of monitoring stations and control towers on the continents in Collow. These facilities function as…”
To avoid confusion and panic after the coming down of the divine barrier, and also for the smooth operation of many follow-up works, things had to be set straight from the beginning. That was Hao Ren’s concern. However, as for how the rulers of the earthly kingdoms would interpret these guidelines and tell the world about them, he had passed the responsibility to Calaxus. Hao Ren believed that he would be able to handle the job well given his tenacity and capability.
In a crystal chamber in Mount Asurmen, everyone was waiting for Lady Gloom to complete the system diagnosis. Hao Ren glanced at the crystal curtain wall, where data are continuous updated, and sighed softly. “This spaceship has completed its historic mission.”
“All the creations in Collow have accomplished their missions in history.” The Lord of the Lords, Loken, and the Lord of the Mountains, Gordon were at the scene. Loken nodded when hearing what Hao Ren said. “Our purpose of existence is to guard Lockmarton. Before this, I never thought about who could kill the monster. Today, our mission is over. It will be the era of the mortals from now on.”
Hao Ren nodded and looked at the Lord of the Mountains. “Gordon, are the injuries of you all okay?”
He was referring to the 10 wardens who, along with the Lord of the Mountains, fought against Lockmarton and suffered a backlash when they harnessed the power of Raven 12345.
“It’s no big deal,” Gordon replied in a rumble. “The divine power of foreign goddess didn’t attack us. Most of the internal injuries we suffered were caused by power overloading. After detaching from the divine power, the injury will heal slowly.”
Hao Ren nodded and said no more.
He was revisiting the earlier plan in his mind.
Since he got his hands on the Tablet of Commandments, Hao Ren had learned some truths about Lockmarton. Nonetheless, he could not fully decode the message on the tablet. Perhaps Lockmarton was the most memorable thing for the goddess of creation, and the fact was so apparent that there was no need for further decoding. He knew Lockmarton had a core with divine protection, including some of the divine powers that the goddess of creation gave him. With this core, Lockmarton was almost invincible, especially in the Plane of Dreams.
For the goddess of creation had said, “Nothing in the world could kill my child.”
Over time, the power of this divine commandment had been distorted. Also because of Lockmarton’s will, it was strengthened and expanded. Lockmarton had since become an invincible existence in the Plane of Dreams. You could weaken, attack, and take him apart, but as long as he was in the Plane of Dreams, and using weapons created in the Plane of Dreams, you would never kill Lockmarton.
