Had Hao Ren known what his two seniors posted on the forum, he would have left. But the solemnness on their faces had conned him. Immersing himself in the solemnness of the end of an era, he thought that Galazur and Anthony Alfonso were just taking in the imagery.

By the time he realized it, it was a few days later.

Now, he was just with everyone else, watching as the magnificent black s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p slowly rose from the ruins of Twilight Capital. Wrapped in a huge smoke column that seemed to cover the entire sky, the s.p.a.cecraft, with its two rows of red lights, were peeking through the smoke and dust like the eyes of a monster. With the wave of his hand, Anthony Alfonso summoned a gust of wind and blow the smoke away. Hao Ren could now see the scale of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.

This vast ancient s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was parked vertically in the underground cave. When it rose, it was as if a volcano swelled out of the ground. The s.p.a.cecraft had a multi-segmented rectangular hull, just like the Guardian Wars.h.i.+p wreck found in the Plane of Dreams. Black crystalline panels lined on the middle segment with bright electro-optical lights dancing between the crystalline panels. The MDT managed to repair and restart a part of the s.p.a.cecraft system in a short time, and energy still leaked through the damaged parts. To avoid the leaked power from damaging the vital engine compartment and data center, the MDT routed the power to the wastegate, which was the black crystalline panels on the outside.

Meanwhile, Twilight Capital had completely reduced into ruins, and only the outer zone of the city survived the explosion. When the runes lost their effects, the ma.s.s built up for the last thousands of years wholly crushed the crisscrossing support structure of the city. This was exacerbated by the departure of Ymir’s s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. This once important sanctuary caved in and became a pile of debris at the bottom of the cave in an instance.

Perhaps many years later, this crater would become a holy place for the new country on the Midgard continent, a commemoration of its protection and cradle of human civilization. People might open a dozen entrances around this holy place, turning it into a tourist attraction, and selling tickets to tourists in the square inland front of Twilight Capital all year round. This could be happening many years later.

The ancient s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p left its own lair, slowly leveled itself in the air before landing on the wilderness outside Twilight Capital. Yggdrasil had specially built this landing strip for s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps. He had reinforced the nearby rock formations and summoned his own tentacles in specific places. These tentacles helped the s.p.a.cecraft to land smoothly. After all, the MDT had not really mastered the control of the s.p.a.cecraft. Without reliable external a.s.sistance, the s.p.a.cecraft might crash.

At last, the ground shook as the s.p.a.cecraft landed successfully.

The MDT sounded in Hao Ren’s mind. “The s.p.a.cecraft is running well, its data center has just gone through a self-diagnosis, but it needs a higher level of ciphertext authorization. I haven’t cracked it yet, but it is only a matter of time. You will be able to access it soon when you come in.”

“Good job!” Hao Ren said, giving his rare praise to the MDT. “But why you didn’t come out of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p? Hasn’t it landed?”

“Because it feels just too awesome to be the host computer of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p!”

Rolling his eyes, Hao Ren hung up on the MDT. “This crazy son of a b.i.t.c.h.”

A bright light slowly descended from the sky. In the bright light was a vague shadow. The shadow circled around the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p before it came back up with a sigh. “Oh, this s.h.i.+p… I knew it a long time ago. It went through the Wall of Reality with everyone.”

Hao Ren switched on the comm., and the image of Ymir appeared in the air. He pointed to the enormous s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p not far away and said to the old giant, “Look at your s.h.i.+p, is this, right?”

“That’s it.” Ymir blinked hard. “Unfortunately, I can’t help anything… I don’t know how to pilot this s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. My memory fails me.”

“It’s simple. We will go in and figure it out ourselves.” Hao Ren patted his chest confidently and walked down the hill. “Inspectors are born investigators. a.n.a.lyzing historical relics is as easy as ABC to us. Whitey, come with us. I’m sure you know about the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. You may also want to explain to us what the G.o.ddess of Creation did ten thousand years ago. Now that the relocation of Twilight Capital is done and the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p has been found, you should have time to talk.”

“Of course.” Whitey followed Hao Ren down the hill. “But before that, I want to take you to see the inside of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. You will understand the grand plan of our mother when you get inside. Ymir and this s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p both play an important role.”

Hao Ren’s heart was beating faster and faster. He forced himself to calm down before striding towards the black s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.

The s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p of the guardian giant was huge. Built according to their body proportion, this s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was a fantastic giant kingdom. Though this was not the first time Hao Ren entering the guardian s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, he still could not help himself. He had a strange and depressing feeling. The wrench that was as tall as a person, huge doorposts that even two persons could not wrap their arms around, and the several-story consoles that gave the illusion that they were tiny ants. A sense of dizziness. .h.i.t as they looked at these things. As the dizziness became unbearable, Lily swallowed two mouthfuls of Spicy Sticks and shapes.h.i.+fted into a giant dog, regaining her sense of balance. At five meters tall, the husky now found that those equipment in the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p were just right in sizes.

Everyone climbed onto the back of the giant husky, riding on the comfortable soft hair.

A group of demiG.o.ds and super creatures riding on a huge husky to explore the ancient s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. You are not going to see this anywhere else.

The MDT had unlocked the controlled gates in most part of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p so that they could explore unimpeded. As they ventured deeper into the s.p.a.cecraft, Hao Ren noticed one thing:

It seemed that Ymir was the only crew onboard the s.p.a.cecraft.

Despite its size, the interior of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was obviously not designed for multi occupants. In the compartment, they had so far explored, all equipment and tools were meant for a single person’s use, and the cabin s.p.a.ce was quite limited. From the entrance in the front, all the way to the deeper part of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, few cabins were found. The several-kilometer-long s.p.a.cecraft was a single-seater plane.

Ma.s.sive armored walls sealed the internal of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, which probably housed part of the “great plan” Whitey was talking about.

As for Whitey, the spare soul of Yggdrasil floating silently in front had not said a word since entering the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p.

Hao Ren was sure that Whitey knew all the secrets of this s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p. Whitey was a spare soul Blackie made. The two of them were the same, having the same memory and mission. Except for the different personalities, the two of “them” were one.

Whatever the original version of Yggdrasil knew, Whitey and Blackie knew.

Soon, everyone came to the central control room of the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p with the MDT leading the way.

Relatively tiny compared to the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, this cabin was still larger than a typical ballroom back home in the eyes of Hao Ren and the others. Other than a series of holographic equipment and unknown machines along the walls, the square central control room had only one chair and a highly integrated console. As the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was in idling state, most holographic images were on standby mode.

On the side of the control room facing the door, a large, high-strength isolation door was emanating with energy halo.

With its small body size and excellent hacking ability, the MDT had been able to gain access to the central control room earlier. When Hao Ren came in, it flew out of an opening under the console and circled around Hao Ren. “Oh, buddy! Look, this s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p is pretty cool! It may not look as good as the Pattianne, but it is definitely more high-tech.”

Hao Ren grabbed the MDT and handed it to Lil Pea in his pocket. He then turned to look at Whitey. “What is behind the door?” he asked.

“Look a look at it yourself.”

Whitey then flew up to the isolation door.

Armed with an exclusive access right of Yggdrasil, Whitey emitted a series of complex mind-frequency resonating with the door.

When the door opened, Hao Ren’s eyes were out on stalks.

Behind the door was an infinite s.p.a.ce where blood-red fiber bundles grew abundantly in a crisscrossing manner. In between the fiber bundles, many coc.o.o.n-like spherical crystal containers scattered randomly.

There was something in each container, but most of the contents were rotten. The few remaining containers contained various creatures:

Werewolves, vampires, night demons, dwarves, humans of the Otherworld, shadelings, etc.

It was like a complete collection of living beings.
