Chapter 1369 - Seeing the Starry Sky for the First Time (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This was the first time Hao Ren had appeared before White Flame and Hessiana in such a way. They were used to Hao Ren’s usual way of doing things, but they were a little confused when they saw Hao Ren appearing with a group of elven guards. But still, the two of them were calm in comparison to the others who were there.
Hessiana also pursed her lips and muttered, “Whoa, keep faking it… Who doesn’t know what you usually look like…”
For those who saw Hao Ren that day for the first time, the man in front was worth watching and speculating. He had the ability to open a large number of teleportation portals all over the world at the same time. He had such an incredible “base” there. He also apparently had an “army”… Even for those in the Shadow Council, the journey started a little beyond expectation. Their cognitive range was somewhat inadequate to cope with the current situation.
The situation was a little out of control. Most people thought this way—all the plans and methods they had prepared were now useless.
And this was exactly what Hao Ren wanted. His plan was to start the journey at a pace that was completely beyond the knowledge of anyone in the team of 100 participants as they were easier to control when the situation was beyond their control. After all, these participants were inherently hostile to each other.
It was not enough to depend on White Flame, Hessiana and Hesperides to maintain order.
The alloy gate in the hall slid silently, revealing the wide pathway behind it. The Aerymian Royal Guards turned neatly and stood in two rows on both sides of the path and the silvery white plasma lance tilted slightly to form a pathway.
Under such a strange atmosphere, this team, whose personnel structure and historical background were rather peculiar, set foot on the first step of ‘homecoming’.
“I don’t know if any of you have read the proposal that was sent to you. It has a more detailed description of the trip, but some basic concepts are difficult to describe directly using the written word, so I’ll give more details on the road slowly,” Hao Ren led the way, patiently introducing and explaining to the selected participants. “I’m sure all of you who are standing here have experienced the Day of Return prophecy. In that prophecy, the otherworldlings will return to their homeland, find lost strength and civilization, and find glory and prosperity again. The prediction turned out to be a farce, but there’s one point that’s correct. Among the supernatural races on earth, whether otherworldlings or demon hunters, you do have a home. And this home has your origins and your civilization. It’s not on earth, it’s not even in this galaxy, this universe, it’s farther away from the world than you think. If you had believed the prophecy, you would never have reached your hometown. But fortunately, it’s not too far away for me.”
The corridor was wide and bright, but few people move about. The most common scene was a variety of mysterious high-tech machinery crisscrossing here and there. They darted back and forth along the bright white lines above the corridor, oblivious to the unusual creatures that were marching through it. There were also a handful of crew members in space station uniforms. These crew members had been informed of the news, so they did not take much notice of the ‘weirdos’ who suddenly appeared in the outpost of the imperial frontier. These crew members just paused and saluted respectfully when passing by Hao Ren, greeting him, “Good day to you, Lord Hao.”
“Long live the Bomberman.”
Fortunately, they were not speaking any earth languages and Hao Ren had not unlocked the public translation channel. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to explain the cultural differences in the sea of stars…
The delegates walked along the long corridor, listening to Hao Ren’s explanations and looking curiously at the “strange place.” Most ordinary otherworldlings had few clear ideas about space stations, artificial intelligence, alien life and the like, so now they were absorbing a dizzying amount of information. Fortunately, most of these people had sharp minds and were receptive. They were slowly adjusting to the environment.
