Chapter 1 Temporary Guests

After a simple arrangement, Loken, the King of Kings, and the twenty-one wardens he led became temporary tenants of the Tanagrus star, while the Asueman became a satellite station of the crystal nucleus research station, docked in the gravitational field around the space station.

As "sentinels" created by the Goddess of Creation specifically to guard the prison, the wardens had no requirements for their living environment and almost no additional personal requirements. After taking a turn in the ecological restoration area of Tanagrus, they fell in love with the place and showed great curiosity about Zhuom—they were isolated in Colo in the last era. At that time, the Goddess of Creation had not yet created creatures like the eldest son, nor had she put her heart into sowing life. Instead, she devoted almost all her energy to the war with the Lord of Mad Howls. Therefore, the wardens born during this period were particularly interested in all the goddess creations that appeared in the next era.

After all, even if they could learn about what was happening in the outside world through various information channels, it was far from as real as seeing it with their own eyes.

And Zhuom also expressed great welcome to the arrival of new friends. His personality was lively, and he naturally liked to meet more friends.

The Asueman, on the other hand, had experienced a long sleep, and had continued to operate overloaded as the control center of the "Old World" for as long as ten thousand years. Many components inside the ship were overwhelmed and had varying degrees of damage and hidden dangers. These damages were also reflected in Asueman himself, who was the "main brain" of the ship, so he needed a period of rest.

With Hao Ren's instruction, the crystal nucleus research station began to analyze the structure and operating principle of the Asueman and prepared to carry out a major overhaul. This overhaul would probably take a long time, but it could also be used to complete other tasks.

"My drone swarm is expanding to the depths of the universe," Hao Ren told Asueman about the overhaul plan, and also told him about another thing. "After the calculation of the swarm consciousness, it can now be determined that the direction of advancement of a pioneer team is the 'Dark Abyss'."

"Don't continue forward!" Asueman warned immediately, "You are completely unprepared. Rashly contacting the power of the Lord of Mad Howls without deciphering the divine power blockade there and confirming the situation in the prison is likely to cause that monster to find a springboard to leak out."

"...Although I don't think the high-security network of the drone swarm is so easily polluted by a native god-like being, your warning is also what I'm considering," Hao Ren affirmed Asueman's warning and said his real arrangement, "I have ordered the drone swarm to adjust the task of that pioneer team, let them continue to advance for a distance and then stop, and then build a base on the spot, and start a super-large communication antenna. You may be able to use it to contact the sentinels in the Dark Abyss."

Although there was a certain talent-based communication channel between the Starry Sky People, the Dark Abyss prison where the Lord of Mad Howls was held had a huge interference with it. In fact, since the fall of the Goddess of Creation, some unknown changes had taken place in that prison. The guards in the prison had almost cut off contact with the outside world. I am afraid that even the Starry Sky People living in the Tomb of Stars could not contact their compatriots in the prison, let alone Asueman, a "lone wolf" who had been "imprisoned" in Colo a long time ago.

So, in order to investigate the situation of that prison, Hao Ren arranged two plans. One plan was to let Asueman find a way to contact the Starry Sky People who were living in seclusion and avoiding the world in various parts of the universe, and learn from these "remnants" the changes in the prison in the past ten thousand years. The other plan was to let the drone swarm get as close as possible to the absolute defense layer of the prison, and then use a high-power amplified antenna to "shout from a distance" to find a way for Asueman to contact his compatriots on the other side of the defense layer. The second plan was tentatively named "Communication Basically Relies on Roaring"...

Asueman expressed some concern about Hao Ren's plan: "Although I very much hope to contact my compatriots as soon as possible, directly launching and receiving signals to the Dark Abyss is really disturbing. The Lord of Mad Howls can use almost any channel to pollute outward, especially the transmission of information and various thinking activities. Can you ensure that your antenna system is safe and will not become a springboard for the Lord of Mad Howls?"

Hao Ren smiled and looked at the holographic projection on the side.

This was the "hub of will" of the Asueman. In addition to displaying the state of the ship itself, the holographic projection suspended in the hall also showed the scene in space outside. The arc-shaped earth of Tanagrus, mixed with light gold and blue-green, extended to both sides in the darkness, and above the atmosphere, you could see the glittering crystal nucleus research station. The sunlight was shining from the side, stimulating a strong brilliance on the crystal nucleus research station.

"That antenna system was not made by the drone swarm itself, but a set of spare antennas removed from the crystal nucleus research station."

"Is there anything special about that?" Asueman was a little puzzled by this.

"In short, you only need to know that its safety factor is quite high," Hao Ren said with a confident face, "It was made by my boss himself."

"Your boss..." Asueman was first at a loss, but then he immediately reacted, "Ah, the Outer God... Then I'm relieved."

"So the communication security of the Dark Abyss cage can be guaranteed. The only thing we need to worry about is whether the situation inside the prison has deteriorated to an unmanageable level," Hao Ren nodded. "Well, leave it to the drone swarm for the time being. I now hope that you can contact your people through other channels as soon as possible—in the depths of the universe, I believe there must still be Starry Sky People living in seclusion. I have discovered several 'doomsday civilizations' that have been in contact with them. Although the salvation efforts of those Starry Sky People were destroyed by the crazy eldest son, they should still be able to protect themselves if they hide."

"Since the God-Slaying War ten thousand years ago, it has been difficult for me to contact my compatriots again," Asueman's voice was still flat and indifferent, and there was no change even when talking about this kind of thing. It seemed that all emotions could not be expressed in his tone, "The divine power of the Goddess of Creation is declining in the entire universe, which makes it difficult for us to contact each other—we have followed the goddess for too long, so that we ourselves have been transformed by divine power and are deeply affected by divine power."

The God-Slaying War led to the scattering of the Starry Sky People. Except for the sentinels in the Dark Abyss cage who could not collapse, the Starry Sky People in the entire universe had probably entered a seclusion mode. In this case, Hao Ren did not expect to be able to quickly gather these former goddess dependents. Finding an Asueman was already an unexpected surprise.

"In short, just do your best," Hao Ren nodded to Asueman, "I hope to get more help from the Starry Sky People."

After explaining the matter here, Hao Ren returned to the rest area of the crystal nucleus research station and found a group of tenants waiting here.

"Have you finished explaining everything?" Vivian was the first to greet him with a smile on her face.

"Well, there's nothing to do for the time being," Hao Ren nodded, then looked around curiously, "Where's Lily?"

Everyone in the family was waiting in the hall, but the husky girl, who usually had a high sense of existence, was nowhere to be seen. And after a closer look, Hao Ren found that Dou Dou was also missing—usually that little one would teleport over as soon as she saw him.

Vivian's face suddenly showed a subtle expression: "Her? She and Dou Dou are doing experiments next door."

Hao Ren was stunned: "Experiments?"

"You'll know when you go and see."

Hao Ren came to the small room next door with inexplicable and full curiosity. As a result, as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Lily and Dou Dou lying side by side next to the table. The "two" looked serious, which was really bluffing, and on the table between the two were a large basin of cold water.

Hao Ren didn't know what the two were doing, so he didn't say anything and watched from the side. Then he saw Dou Dou first lean on the edge of the basin and took a big gulp of water, then twisted her neck, puff—

Oh, this was the mermaid's signature skill, mermaid water spray—she usually did this to spray water everywhere when she had nothing to do.

But what was puzzling was that Lily also leaned over and took a sip of water, puffing up her cheeks like Dou Dou: puff—

The husky girl sprayed even farther than Dou Dou...

Hao Ren was dumbfounded watching from the side. Even if he had a big brain, he didn't understand what the two were doing. He watched Lily and Dou Dou take turns spraying water like a competition. In about half a minute, most of the basin of water was ruined by the two of them. When he looked up again, most of the ground on the other half of the room was already full of puddles. He didn't know how long the two had been playing...

After watching for so long, Hao Ren suddenly moved his mind and vaguely guessed what the husky was doing, and suddenly showed a dumbfounded expression: "Ahem... Lily, I don't think you can spit out a dog cannon by tossing like this. If you want to master this new skill, you still have to analyze it scientifically..."

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lily puff up her cheeks, and in addition to the splashing water, streaks of white light formed in her mouth. The next second, an dazzling and hot beam shot out from her mouth, accompanied by the booming sound of violent air vibrations. A dog cannon... Okay, Divine Power Roaring Sun Ripping Heaven Strike just hit the wall opposite the room, leaving a huge black spot, and alarm bells ringing throughout the corridor...

Hao Ren looked blankly at Lily, whose mouth was full of golden light, and his mind was full of one sentence: This tm also works?

Does the husky this kind of creature still talk about logic!
