Chapter 921 The Observer of All Realms
Two years can teach a person many things, and they learn even faster when thrown into life-threatening situations. Hao Ren believed that if he, from two years ago, had encountered such a complicated situation, he would have been completely bewildered. When facing the head of a clan, he probably wouldn't even know how to organize his thoughts. But now, he could calmly tell Vogus about the matter of Tanagus, and he was confident that he could keep the topic under his control.
He didn't reveal everything but only said what should be said—those things that Vogus, as a descendant of the Tana people, had the right to know. He talked about the ecological disaster that occurred in the Dream Plane, and he roughly explained the cause and process of the disaster. He also presented himself as a professional who specialized in handling such events. When talking about the current state of Tanagus, he succinctly told the old clan leader: "The ecological environment of that planet can be said to have been completely reshaped. Although it was your homeland ten thousand years ago, the difficulty for you to return to live there now is no less than that of your ancestors when they first came to Earth."
"There are now a group of new intelligent races living there?" Vogus asked, his voice much calmer than Hao Ren had expected.
Hao Ren had just roughly told the other party about the great migration of the Zolm civilization. He nodded and said, "According to some kind of certification rule, your civilization has been registered as extinct, and your planet has also been marked as an unclaimed planet. Although I am very sorry, after all, no one has lived there for ten thousand years, and the Zolm people are in dire need of a place to settle down. They are also victims of the ecological disaster. If no new planet accepts them, their civilization will also be destroyed."
Vogus was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Sounds like the best choice."
"It was also the only choice at the time. If you want, I can show you the information of the Zolm civilization. You have to know that what happened in the Dream Plane is more terrible than any disaster you can imagine. All the doomsday disasters in the myths and legends of this planet (Earth) are just some trivial fragments of that great extinction in the Dream Plane, so I can only save one when I encounter one. Your planet now has a new master, and I must state that they cannot be moved."
Vogus stared into Hao Ren's eyes: "Then first I want to confirm that what you said is true. To be honest, what you told me is a bit too Arabian Nights."
"Do I need to lie to you about this?" Hao Ren spread his hands, "Is there any benefit to coaxing you? Of course, if you really don't believe it, I can show you my spaceship later. I can take you to any corner of the universe, and you will know that I have the ability to go to various places, including the Dream Plane."
At this time, Hasson interjected: "His words should be trustworthy, I have just seen some evidence."
Vogus fell silent, and a low, peculiar resonance sounded in his throat, which was probably some kind of habit of the Tana people. Then he looked at Hao Ren curiously: "What exactly do you do?"
"I am the spokesperson of a powerful force, you can regard this force as a god, I can only say so much," Hao Ren shrugged, "My mission is to observe and feedback, and a certain degree of executive power. I patrol among many worlds, and every civilization is my observation target, but unless I encounter something like the end of the world, I will hardly interfere with them. This is basically my job content."
"A surveyor of the realms?" Vogus said cautiously, "No wonder you are so special..."
Hao Ren was stunned, and for the first time realized that his job as a cop could have such an awesome title...
Vogus then pondered for several seconds, and he finally broke the silence: "I can understand everything you said, but that planet is ultimately our homeland, and we must go back, there is no doubt about it."
Hao Ren asked curiously: "You have lived on this planet (Earth) for ten thousand years, and you still want to go back?"
"You're right, we have indeed lived here for ten thousand years—we can even regard this place as another home," Vogus said slowly, "Those who have personally seen the world of their homeland have become history, but we still want to go back and see it. After all, that is the place where we originated, and Earth... do you think it is possible for us to live and multiply on this planet in a fair and honest manner? You have already seen that we have no future here at all, and lingering in the shelter is not 'development'. Staying here, unless this planet changes hands, we will never have the opportunity to leave the shelter."
Hao Ren understood the old clan leader's thoughts, and he also realized that the current Tana people's yearning for their homeland might not be as strong as their ancestors, but even in order to fight for greater development space for the race, they still wanted to leave Earth. So he nodded: "Then there are a few questions. First, what do you think of those Zolm people? I declare in advance that their right to live on the Tanagus planet is protected. Your civilization has been cut off, and the planet has been vacant for as long as ten thousand years. It is already an unclaimed state. Therefore, I can only express my understanding and sympathy for your encounters in my personal capacity. I can only express my sympathy to you."
Lily perked up her ears and listened not far away, while poking Vivian's arm: "The landlord's official tone is getting smoother and smoother."
"Shh, don't mess around," Vivian slapped Lily away, her face full of excitement, "It's so interesting to hear people arguing!"
These two girls were extremely bored, and finally slipped into the abyss of gossip.
Vogus also heard Vivian and Lily's words, but he didn't care: "The interaction between the two races is indeed a problem, they may not welcome us—even if we were once the masters of that planet. But I personally I hope to coexist peacefully with those people—after all, we have the same experience, I believe that after experiencing this kind of thing, the competition for interests and species differences will become secondary factors, and the continuation of the race is the top priority. And you also see... the Ankartero family is now only left with these hundreds of people, do you think I can have any other ideas?"
What Vogus said was very upright, but it is still unknown how the Zolm people and the Tana people will live together. However, with the previous experience of letting the Demon King's City settle down in the country of the Ayreem elves, Hao Ren felt that it seemed not impossible to let these two races coexist.
Of course, there is also the possibility that they will fight.
However, to be honest... when two species get together, whether it is peaceful development or a dog-eat-dog fight is actually a normal process of civilization evolution. War and integration are also a kind of integration. As an inspector, he can only observe and feedback. The details of the friction between the two symbiotic civilizations cannot be worried about.
Therefore, he soon stopped thinking about these future details, but raised his second finger: "Then there is a second question: you have to wait."
"Wait?" Vogus was stunned.
"At present, there is already a blockade between the Dream Plane and this universe, because the barrier separating the two worlds has become very fragile, so before we find a way to repair the barrier, the two worlds are highly traffic controlled, especially it is strictly forbidden for alien races crossing to Earth to return to their hometowns in large quantities," Hao Ren said very seriously, "Since you have the idea of peaceful coexistence with the Zolm people, I will also contact the Zolm people about this—this should be no problem, because I am considered their honorary 'lord' at the moment, but when you can return to your planet... you better be prepared, now the sirens are also queuing to go home, they have more population than you, and their encounters in the Great Extinction were much worse than yours."
"To be honest, I have no concept of many of the things you said, which is beyond my scope of knowledge," Vogus told frankly, "Just tell me, how long will we have to wait?"
Hao Ren thought for a while: "A few years at least, a few hundred years at most, and maybe more—you can't let me predict the operating rules of the entire universe, and even if I know this operating rule from some channels, I can't tell you."
Vogus: "..."
At this time, Izhaks reminded from the side: "He is not arguing with you, he really has this broken mouth."
Hao Ren blinked: "I have already said it very euphemistically."
I don't know whether it was Hao Ren's frightening identity as a "Realm Surveyor" that was working, or Vogus had other plans. In short, he calmly accepted Hao Ren's statement. The old clan leader nodded: "Then we will wait patiently, anyway, we have already waited for ten thousand years."
"It's not just you who are waiting." Hao Ren glanced at Hasson meaningfully as he said, "There are too many outsiders on this planet who don't belong to this world. Do you know how much my head hurts every time I think about this mess on Earth?"
Hasson slightly imagined the problems that Hao Ren might have to deal with, and couldn't help but smile: "You really have a lot of trouble to face."
After this disaster, Vogus had many things to deal with. He had to organize the survivors, complete the reconstruction of the territory, at least to the point where they could survive, and he also had to weigh how to tell his people about the news of their homeland world—Hao Ren suggested that he tell the other survivors about the news of their homeland in a limited and appropriately rhetorical way, so as to encourage the morale of the Tana people and help them survive the most difficult time. At the same time, Hao Ren also reminded him not to reveal too much of the real news about their homeland world, so as to prevent the situation from getting out of control.
As the leader of a large family, Vogus would definitely be able to handle these things himself, so Hao Ren only needed to say this much.
After Hasson and Hesperides returned, they also had many things to deal with: Now the shadows of chaos in the Ankartero territory have naturally disappeared with the sealing of the Golden Disc, but there are probably still many shadows that have escaped around the world, so the follow-up cleanup work will keep the demon hunters and aliens busy for a while.
Hao Ren also had a lot of things to worry about. In addition to the suddenly emerging Tana survivors, he also had to seize the time to study the newly acquired Golden Disc and many things he saw in the illusion.
So after briefly exchanging their respective follow-up plans, the various people who had gathered together by chance also prepared to leave.
