Almost at the moment the hundred-strong tour group arrived in the Hollettan ecosystem, the drone cluster detected a divine-power burst in deep space. The timing of the burst appeared just right, so perfect that Hao Ren could not help but wonder if it was true. It was not possible for the thousands of monitoring stations in deep space to make a mistake at the same time. With multiple stations carrying out the monitoring of a divine power burst, the detection was undoubtedly real.

“The source of the burst is very close to the monitoring stations. Some drones have gone to check out the source. But the feedback from remote sensing signals indicates that there’s nothing worth investigating. It is only an ordinary star,” the drone cluster reported. “We have been receiving various signals from the dark universe since a while ago. Most of the signals are indistinguishable, but they all have a certain degree of resemblance with the divine power burst.”

“That should have been the reverberation following the fall of the goddess of creation.” Hao Ren had thought of it earlier. “We have been exploring this form of reverberation for a long time, and now we can finally excite it and observe its existence in the background of the universe.”

“What is your next instruction?”

“Keep monitoring. I want field investigation by the drones for every burst with intensity exceeding Category D. Even if there is nothing there, you must build a beacon. I need you to chart a map, labeling all the areas where the reaction takes place.”

The patrol frigate Petrachelys was gradually approaching. On a hillock, the welcoming delegation representing the Kingdom of Holletta had lined up neatly, watching as the incredible steel chariot descended from the sky. It was an extraordinary visit. The kingdom’s ruler and religious leaders had spent a lot of time exploring how to arrange the event. They even complained about why the foreigner who saved the world always came up with such a crazy idea. But those who complained still decided on a moderate program itinerary in response to Hao Ren’s proposal.

They decided not to publicize the event, because they could not make the public understand how complicated and profound the historical background of the ‘diasporas’ who traveled across space and time. But the necessary etiquette and ceremony were a must. At the very least, next to the landing field, all the most powerful marshal and diplomatic ministers were in the welcoming delegation.

The spacecraft finally landed silently on the ground as if the large metal body was weightless like a ghost. The side hatch popped open. For the first time, the earthly aliens stepped on this foreign planet for the first time.

Well, not all of them though. A few had been here many times.

Ophra saw a large group of strange people walking down the spacecraft. They wore fancy costumes that were absolutely not of Holletta, weird ornaments, and out-of-this-world hairstyles. Like colonial crew who lost their ways and ended up in a new world, they were ‘hurried’ down the light ramp. She remembered the famous explorer Dechenek had once described the image of such a sight in his book The New World: They came down in rows from the ship, pushed by those from behind, they embarked on this strange land and began to look around in confusion. Though most of them were respected figures, they dazzled in the scenery of the New World.”

It was just like these people here.

The earthlings had noticed the welcoming delegation on the high ground. They seemed to be surprised and talked with each other in a low voice. Ophra saw that the oddly-dressed people, who came down from the spacecraft, were apparently divided into many small groups. These groups kept a subtle distance from each other, and people only talked with those in the same group. Some of them seemed like people of position. They looked a little with status. Although they first appeared at sea stepping into the new world, Ophra could still sense a different aura in them.

“Are those our people living in exile in another world?” The female marshal thought to herself as the first impression of those people formed in the female marshal’s mind.

Hao Ren was the first to come out of the spaceship. A few dozens Aerymian Royal Guards and his team were maintaining the order of the tour group. Hao Ren came before Ophra and the welcoming delegation, putting up a smile on his face. “They’re finally here. So how do you feel seeing your people for the first time?”

“It’s a little different from what I have imagined,” Ophra replied and smiled. She then turned to the ‘tour group,’ of which the atmosphere was a bit strange. “Welcome to Holletta, everyone. You’re now in your motherland.”

“It is the homeworld of some of you.” Hao Ren added.
