The habits of abnormal creatures are always beyond your imagination. Unless you see it with your own eyes, you can never understand what strange talents these guys will suddenly come up with—just like Lily turning into something else after eating spicy sticks, and Nangong Wuyue getting excited after drinking detergent! Hao Ren can swear to the statue of Corvus 12345 that he never thought that this timid-to-the-extreme siren would have such a high-spirited moment. This girl, who is softer than soft, rolled up her sleeves (although that's a bit of an exaggeration) and said that she needed to move around after getting drunk. Hao Ren felt like he was seeing Vivian pick up money outside...

It's understandable if you get high on other things, but how can you get high on detergent?

Nangong Wuyue decided to join the group, and her brother thought about it and decided to participate in this mission as well. Although Nangong Sanba's combat power has always been maintained at the level of a basic unit of measurement, it is undeniable that this guy's observation skills and survival ability in unfamiliar environments are better than anyone else's. As the saying goes, a jack-of-all-trades has his own way of surviving. Hao Ren felt that if he was going to explore an alien space that had been out of contact with the main material world for more than two thousand years, Nangong Sanba would still be very useful.

As for Izhaks, the old demon king naturally had no objection: since the Corpus incident, he and Elizabeth had been completely immersed in the business of collecting old appliances for nearly two months. In addition to their previous busy work, the old appliance industry in the entire southern suburbs has basically been swept by the two of them. In such a sparsely populated place with a super slow pace of life, old men and women rarely have old appliances to deal with, so Izhaks and his daughter have long been idle and bored.

If Hao Ren didn't find them something to do, Izhaks was planning to simply transfer to the urban area.

In the end, besides Nangong's parents who were taking care of the store, "Gun" who was taking care of the fish at home, and Doudou who was being taken care of, Hao Ren took everyone else with him. The large group set off in a mighty manner, taking the Petrified Tortoise to the depths of the galaxy to meet with Galador.

Of course, before setting off, they didn't forget to bring an important figure: Mimir... 's head.

This time, they had to rely on this old giant to mediate in order to establish communication with Yggdrasil smoothly.

"To be honest, Landlord, I always feel that our rhythm is not right," Lily muttered to Hao Ren, leaning on the back of the chair in the Petrified Tortoise's bridge. "Do you think it's okay for us to bring Mimir to find Yggdrasil like this?"

Hao Ren was reading the information about the Chandell civilization circle at this time, and without raising his head, he said, "What's the problem?"

Lily counted on her fingers: "Yggdrasil and Mimir are brothers, right?"

"That's right."

"And Yggdrasil is currently under high mental stress and may have paranoid symptoms, right?"

"That's right."

"Then we're going to negotiate with people while carrying the head of their big brother. Do you think that World Tree will go crazy?"

Hao Ren: "... Damn it, Nolan, stop the ship!"

Lily's whimsical analysis immediately made everyone on the bridge break out in a cold sweat. Although everyone generally thought that this husky was a bit of an idiot, they had to admit that this guy had noticed a key aspect that everyone had overlooked. However, just as a group of people were noisily discussing how to make the matter of "coming with someone's head" seem more friendly (is that even possible?), Mimir's voice suddenly sounded in everyone's mind: "Ah, you don't have to worry about this problem. I can just use my consciousness to communicate with Yggdrasil. I can explain clearly before he discovers my abnormal state."

Mimir's head is staying on the bridge now. Compared to his gigantic brothers, his current form has one advantage: he doesn't have to stay in the warehouse when he hitches a ride with Hao Ren. Although his head and base are still much taller than a person, he can at least be put in the control room.

So he overheard Lily's whimsical views and the whole process of everyone else's lively discussion.

Hao Ren glanced at Mimir, and felt that what he said made sense, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, Nolan, continue flying..."

Nolan muttered, "... Don't be so jumpy when flying the spaceship. Frequent emergency braking is bad for my engine."

Hao Ren chuckled dryly, thinking that he should complain about this to Lily, and then he lowered his head and continued to study the information about the Chandell star cluster.

The Chandell star cluster, or rather, the "Chandell pan-civilization circle," is the largest and oldest civilization region in this civilization-dense and administratively complex galaxy. A veteran inspector has been watching over this place for thousands of years.

Chandell is different from other places in that it does not have a unified overall civilization circle, but rather a community composed of hundreds of loosely connected civilization groups—these dozens of loosely connected civilization groups originally had a common origin. Tens of thousands of years ago, before the Xiling Divine System paid attention to this world, a powerful humanoid civilization once ruled thousands of star systems in the Chandell airspace. However, like most mortal civilizations, this civilization disintegrated after developing to a certain stage. The once-powerful empire fell into thousands of fiefdoms, and the thousands of fiefdoms were transformed into hundreds of primitive kingdoms through thousands and thousands of years of continuous decline and loss.

After thousands of years of complete isolation, these primitive kingdoms have completely embarked on different paths of development. The historical process of civilization is so elusive: now some of these primitive kingdoms have re-entered the space age, while others are still fighting with swords and bows and crossbows. Some kingdoms have mastered completely different magical powers in the new environment, while others have completely transformed their planets into huge steam-age factories. Some of these kingdoms have re-established fragile connections. In wars and friction, they have discovered the secrets hidden in the history of their ancestors, and are beginning to rebuild that glorious ancient civilization (or are trying to kill other heirs), but there are still some kingdoms that believe that they are the only oasis of life in the universe.

This is Chandell, a chaotic, ancient, divided, and turbulent star cluster, but with endless charm in the details. Here you can find isolated continents of swords and magic, and you can also find space empires with outposts all over space. And the people who created all of this can now only prove their kinship in ancient times with traces of DNA.

The name "Chandell" comes from its former civilization. This ancient civilization, which has disappeared in the long river of history, called its home planet "Chandell," and after they entered space, they continued to name their sun with this name to mark the way home. However, after their primitive civilization disintegrated, no astronauts needed to use this star to guide them home anymore: only a dying planetary kingdom remains around the Chandell star. This kingdom calls itself the "Forgotten Descendants." They are the only "orthodox heirs" who have preserved ancient history and traditions. Their planet has Chandell's last civilization database. And not long ago, even these last descendants left their ancient sun.

Because the Chandell star went out.

As far as Hao Ren knew, the local inspector intervened in this incident in the end, and successfully evacuated all life on the entire planet before a large-scale civilization extinction occurred. Although no extinction-level event occurred, it meant that the last trace of an ancient civilization had completely disappeared from their homeland: no matter what kind of new country the native creatures in the Chandell region reorganize from now on, this country will hardly have any connection with its ancestors.

A sigh-worthy story, spanning forty-six thousand years, containing thousands of kingdom rises and falls and countless heroic epics. There are a total of seven hundred and twenty-eight similar events in this universe that can be verified.

This does not include those that had completely disappeared without a trace before the Xiling Divine System accepted this universe.

Hao Ren put aside the historical data of the Chandell star cluster and began to pay attention to the intelligence about the local inspector.

Although there are hundreds of independent civilizations within the scope of this star cluster, they are still classified as a civilization circle according to the usual practice of this universe due to their common historical origin. Its person in charge is Anthony J. Alfonso, known as the "Great Sage." This powerful arcane master was originally a court mage in a magical world within Chandell. After the goddess had an unprecedented serious binge, Anthony was gloriously promoted to inspector. And because the Chandell star cluster is adjacent to Santu Suiv, the inspector of Santu Su, Galador, and Anthony have a close personal relationship. The two inspectors often assist each other in dealing with some problems at the junction of their jurisdictions. The "Galactic Mobilization Order" issued by Hao Ren this time belongs to this type of problem.

This is also why Yggdrasil stopped in the Chandell area, but the message was sent by Galador.

Moreover, among a group of inspector colleagues, Hao Ren is most familiar with that Dragon Queen, and it is obviously easier to communicate with acquaintances.

When Hao Ren turned to the end of this pile of information, the Petrified Tortoise gradually arrived at its destination.
