Chapter 128 The First Push

It's easy to understand that the three views of the group of mentally unstable creatures around Hao Ren are somewhat different from those of normal people, but it's really baffling when even a PDA has a problem with its three views. To this day, no one knows which part of the production line went wrong when this brick came off the line, but it firmly believes that it can grow into a battleship mainframe—the problem is, even if you plug it into the spaceship console for ten thousand years, it's still a PDA.

However, looking at the data terminal's resolute defense of its precious slot, Hao Ren was also quite embarrassed. He could only cheekily discuss it with Nolan: "Well, why don't you just bear with it? Just pretend you're wearing a pendant…"

Nolan glanced sideways at Hao Ren: "How would you feel if you plugged a brick into your head and went out for a stroll?"

Hao Ren thought about it and felt that he really couldn't understand Nolan's perspective as a ship now.

"Anyway, you two negotiate," Hao Ren spread his hands. "The power struggle between a spaceship and a computer is already beyond my comprehension."

Hesperide stared with confused eyes as Hao Ren argued with his ship and his PDA, muttering to herself: "I feel like there's nothing in your world that I can understand."

Amidst the clamor of the data terminal and Nolan, the Tortoise Rock Platform ascended, passing through the turbid, heavy atmosphere and entering the luminous cloud-top region. Finally, it punched a hole in the cloud top and arrived near the near-earth orbit of the Purgatory Planet.

This was already the limit that the spaceship could reach—any further, and they would fall out of this space shard and into the main universe.

Apart from the Purgatory Planet, which emitted a soft white light, the entire space was barren, without any sun, moon, or stars, or even a bit of celestial debris. However, an extremely thin layer of gas filled the space: the atmospheric material that the Purgatory Planet had slowly leaked out over ten thousand years. Hao Ren had Nolan hover near the critical point of space and then opened the cargo bay projection hatch of the Tortoise Rock Platform.

A large group of slender, miniature shuttle-like unmanned aerial vehicles rushed out of the hatch, flew towards the cloud top of the Purgatory Planet, and stopped some distance away from the atmosphere.

These things would physically locate the planet, outlining the planetary contours that needed to be preserved. Next, all that remained was to wait for Raven 12345's notification.

The spaceship stayed at the critical point for a day and a night before Raven 12345 finally sent a message: "I've adjusted the star parameters and the surrounding celestial environment. I'll open the door in ten minutes."

Hao Ren, who had been dozing off on the bridge, immediately perked up, turned on the ship's intercom to announce the news, and then waited for the moment the space gate opened.

He wanted to know how a true god transferred an entire planet from outside the universe to inside the universe.

Soon, everyone gathered noisily on the bridge. Nolan turned on the external monitors and panoramic projection devices, making the entire bridge appear transparent, displaying a 360° view of the universe. Then, she controlled the "calibrators" released a day earlier to send out navigation signals.

For the first few seconds, nothing happened, but soon, an unusual light appeared in the surrounding space. The light had no source, no shape. From the moment it appeared, it directly enveloped the entire Purgatory Planet, including the Tortoise Rock Platform hovering in the planet's orbit. The "huge door" that Hao Ren had imagined did not appear, because he saw countless spots of light emerging directly from the ubiquitous light.

After a slight daze, he realized that it was starlight from the normal universe.

Transferring a space to another space does not involve the kind of "door" that ordinary people understand. The connection between two three-dimensional spaces is completed in a higher dimension. Therefore, being in this three-dimensional space, what Hao Ren could see was not himself passing through a door, but the entire universe suddenly appearing before him!

That ubiquitous light was just the halo produced by the distortion and refraction of starlight from the entire universe at the moment of spatial connection.

The vast halo slowly dimmed, and countless stars and nebulae gradually emerged from the light, as if the narrow space where the Purgatory Planet was located was rapidly expanding into an entire universe. In the originally chaotic darkness, the stars appeared, the clouds of gas appeared, and celestial bodies lit up the entire universe one after another. And in the place closest to the Purgatory Planet, Hao Ren saw a star shining brightly.

It seemed that the entire space shard had been successfully "placed" into the surface world, but soon Hao Ren discovered that the process was not over yet: the Purgatory Planet was stationary after entering this universe. It was stationary around its new sun. Without an initial driving force to make it run, it would directly fall into the sun.

Raven 12345 must have thought of this, so soon everyone saw a layer of light blue film appearing around the Purgatory Planet. This layer of light film had the power to freeze time and space, completely fixing the state of the planet inside the film.

And after the internal state of the planet was frozen, an astounding sight appeared: an unprecedentedly huge goddess figure emerged in space.

A silver-haired, powerful goddess appeared directly next to the planet, as if she were a natural truth. Her figure was even larger than several planets, and her aura even overwhelmed the nearby sun. Raven 12345 appeared in this form for the first time in front of Hao Ren. She first bent down to make a face at the Tortoise Rock Platform to say hello, then turned her head, aimed at the Purgatory Planet, took two steps back, and delivered a whip kick.

The entire star system echoed with Her Majesty the Goddess's blessing to this planet: "Go!"

Then the Purgatory Planet started running!

Hao Ren didn't know how long he had been stunned, but after finally closing his mouth, only one phrase echoed in his mind: first driving force, first driving force…

Screw the first driving force. How was he going to explain to the people of Purgatory Planet in the future that their world had been put on the right track by a goddess's whip kick?!

Vivian poked Hao Ren's arm: "Landlord, do you still think my demon form is too big?"

Hao Ren looked up at Raven 12345 in a daze—in fact, he couldn't see what Raven 12345 looked like now with the naked eye. He could only see a white expanse, which was part of the goddess's arm. The whole thing had been relayed by probes further away, from a third-person perspective. It took him a long time to remember to connect to Raven 12345's communication: "Well, is this how you guys start planetary systems? What about the promised high technology? Math engines, gravitational corrections, kinetic energy endowment, and so on..."

"Oh, that stuff does exist, but I'm not used to using it. Anyway, it's just as effective to be simple and crude. Just add some protection to the planet in advance."

Cold sweat dripped down Hao Ren's forehead one after another: "But isn't what you're doing a little unscientific?"

Raven 12345 chuckled dryly: "It's okay, anyway, this place is uninhabited, and no one saw it."

Hao Ren turned to look at the Hesperide trio and found that the three vampires were still stunned. He could only cough twice to bring them back to their senses: "Ahem, what did you guys see just now?"

Duncan came back to his senses with a jolt. As a vampire, he actually drew a cross on his chest: "That whip kick just now was the legendary first driving force? So God is a woman?"

Hao Ren grabbed his hair: "Just pretend you three didn't see anything. It's too much trouble to explain."

He really didn't know how to make these three understand why the god who manages this universe is a nutcase! He couldn't very well say that their universe is a sanatorium for disabled gods, could he?

At this time, the "frozen divine art" on the Purgatory Planet had disappeared, but an extra layer of protection remained outside the atmosphere. The purpose of this protection was to slow down the sun's influence on the planet—after all, this planet had been running in a cold and lonely place for ten thousand years, and heating it up rashly now would only be another disaster. And after Raven 12345 had done this intimate little treatment, she switched shapes and appeared next to Hao Ren with a flash of light.

"Yo, how does it feel?" The goddess clapped Hao Ren's shoulder in a boisterous manner.

Hao Ren grimaced and covered his arm: "Pretty spectacular, pretty spectacular…"

"It's so convenient in the surface world. I can personally help you," Raven 12345 laughed loudly. "Speaking of which, just moving this planet over isn't enough. It's a delicate job to get a planet running in a new environment. Do you have any follow-up plans?"

Hao Ren immediately told her about his arrangements, including building a new ecosystem by controlling the First Born and hiring Philyri Allied Mining to handle the excess crust. Raven 12345 nodded as she listened, a look of gratification on her face: "Well, much more mature than the hothead you were at the beginning. I was originally thinking that if you were clueless, I'd help you a little more and transform the planet in one step."

Hearing this, Hao Ren immediately remembered this and looked at the other party with expectant eyes.

Raven 12345 smiled: "But since you already have a plan, I won't interfere."

Hao Ren: "…"
