A series of discoveries of the Solenne Gateway was of great significance to Hao Ren. He saw those treacherous children attacking the kingdom of G.o.ds and the various phenomena that followed after the Star of Creation exploded. More importantly, he also saw the bizarre birth of Vivian. He must go back and sort out all these things. So after arranging a place for the captive, he went to say goodbye to the three guardian giants and Zorm.
Lemendusa just learned about this place from Zorm and he looked a little bit confused. When heard that Hao Ren was about to leave, he did not get it. "Go back? Where? This isn"t your house?"
"I"ve told you that I"m from another universe. It"s time for me to go back and report the progress here. So how are you and Heve feeling now? Can you adapt to this place?"
"I"m afraid it will take some time for me to adapt," Lemendusa answered honestly, "I"ve just heard about the changes in the universe over the past 10000 years from Zorm and Muru. The world is totally different now... But anyway, this place is better than the battlefield."
The giant warrior"s voice was a little shaky for the first time. He felt overwhelmed when facing a world that had been out of his comprehension. Hao Ren could understand how Lemendusa felt. The guardian had missed 10000 years on that 10-hour battlefield and now the universe was full of chaos he once dared not imagine: the divine power of the G.o.ddess of Creation had faded; the guardians were devoured by hatred and turned into monsters who knew nothing but destruction; almost all the kingdoms in the universe were extinguished. It was a real situation that one waking up to the end of the world. It"s not a description, it"s a statement.
Muru had spent 10000 years pondering and accepting these facts, but Lemendusa and Heve did not have the time.
Speaking of Heve, the quiet female giant was standing next to Lemendusa. She was looking at the local plants that Muru planted. Each guardian warrior was also a gardener, and she had decided to help Muru to take care of some areas of the southern hemisphere of Tannagost. Heve"s fingers brushed through the crown of a broad-leaved tree, and then said with soft eyes, "Everything will be fine. Mother said that the power of life lies in the endless succession. As long as there is a spark, there will always be a fire. The universe will recover from chaos and flourish again. And I believe that the mother will come back one day. Until then, I will greet her with a beautiful garden."
"Heve is always more optimistic than I am," Lemendusa said and smiled reluctantly, and Heve responded sharply, "That"s because you"re always more stubborn than me."
Hao Ren smiled while looking at the two guardian giants and said, "Well, this place is yours. Muru will tell you about the open area of the station and what you can use. If you have any problem, come to the crystal cl.u.s.ter, the station host can contact me."
A few minutes later, they had been redirected back to home on Earth through several teleportation portals.
A s.p.a.ce crack opened in the living room. Lily happily jumped out from the s.p.a.ce crack, followed by Y"lisabet and Lil Pea, and Hao Ren and Y"zaks walked in the last. Seeing everything in the house was good as usual, Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It"s so good to be back, the Earth is really safe and stable."
After that, he lay on the couch and stretched. Meanwhile, Lily was looking around as soon as she entered the room, and then she shouted, "Battie! Come out! I have something important to tell you!"
Suddenly, they heard a burst of noise in the kitchen and the kitchen door was then burst open. Rollie was running out and then running around the living room crazily. When she saw Hao Ren on the couch, she immediately jumped onto him without hesitation and yelled, "Help! Someone is abusing a cat!!"
Hao Ren was about to enjoy lying on the sofa at home but was interrupted. He saw Vivian running out of the kitchen with a rolling pin and shouted, "Stand there! You really think you have nine lives, don"t you?"
"Meow!" Rollie started running and jumping up and down again around the living room while Vivian was holding a rolling pin chasing the cat. "Welcome back... I have to educate this b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"
Hao Ren had no idea what was going on. All he saw was Vivian chasing the cat all over the house. A few seconds later, he finally could not stand it and roared, "Stop!!"
Vivian was holding her rolling pin and suddenly braked to a halt, and so did Rollie, in front of the trash can, and knocked it over. The garbage was strewn all over the floor like confetti and half a piece of orange peel fell directly on Y"zaks" face.
A plastic bag also fell on Hao Ren"s head. He looked at Vivian with a confused face and asked, "What are you doing? Why do you suddenly hit Rollie?"
He did not ask the cat because he knew what a strange answer he would get from that cat.
"Huh?"
Hao Ren pointed to the cat girl who was squatting on the ground picking up rubbish and asked, "What has she done again?"
Vivian immediately flew into a rage and yelled, "She went to the kitchen to make a stew without me! She said she wanted to make you a nutritious meal!"
Hao Ren was surprised. Then, he looked at the cat girl pleasantly and praised her, "That"s a good thing. She has improved!"
Vivian pinched the rolling pin, laughed grimly and said, "She stewed it with rats, cat food and fish bones picked up from trash cans. You wanna try?"
Hao Ren, "…"
"That"s a new pot!" Vivian finally revealed why she was so upset. That really hurt a poor, thrifty housekeeper like her. "You guys decide, is that pot still usable?"
Hao Ren gnashed his teeth and glared at the direction of Rollie, but the stupid cat was already gone. The silly cat was quite smart. She quickly fled when she noticed something was wrong.
"Forget it, the pot... Any suggestion?" Hao Ren had no idea what to do, so he turned to Lily and Y"zaks.
"I don"t have a problem with it. I"ve eaten mice before, it"s delicious, and many places also turned it into a dish," said Lily.
Vivian stared at her and said, "Mind your own business."
"Let"s not discuss this now." As soon as Hao Ren saw that Vivian and Lily were about to quarrel again, he immediately interrupted. "Vivian, put down the rolling pin. I have something to tell you."
Looking at Hao Ren"s serious expression, Vivian thought they encountered some problems during the trip. She immediately put down the weapon in her hand and asked, "What happened?"
"We went to a place called the Solenne Gateway. It was the border part of the kingdom of the G.o.ddess of Creation, but somehow it detached from the Umbral Realm," Hao Ren explained slowly, "and we had a very big discovery. Not only did we find the surviving guardians, but we also found… something to do with you."
Vivian knew her origin was inextricably linked with the G.o.ddess of Creation, so she tensed up and asked, "What did you see?"
Before Hao Ren answered, Lily"s head emerged from behind his back and said, "Battie, I tell you, we saw it with our own eyes. You were just liquid at that time!"
Vivian thought for a moment, and then picked up the rolling pin silently and said, "Doggie, are you crazy? Did I just annoy you?"
Hao Ren hurriedly stood in between them and said, "Calm down. Lily, you are too brief. And Vivian, Lily is right. You were really liquid, I saw…"
"Oh my, what did I just say!" Hao Ren slapped his forehead, quickly stayed away from Lily and said, "Lily, don"t get too close to me. I don"t want to be as stupid as you."
Vivian was confused. She looked at the last man whom she could trust and asked, "What"s wrong with them?"
"It"s real. I saw it, too," Y"zaks responded with a smile
Vivian, "…"
