Chapter 404: Demon Plane
The universe in which Itzax's home is located is one of the most remote areas within the Empire, and in fact, due to a major expansion 10,000 years ago, this largely unbuilt barren "reserved land" in the Empire occupies more than half of the territory. These "reserved lands" only have the most basic sovereign facilities and monitoring posts, and there is not even a world gate in Itzax's hometown.
Hao Ren's planned itinerary is a one-way transmission, sailing back. That is, when he departed, he "launched" from the World Gate of this universe, and when he returned, he slowly flew back with the Giant Turtle Rock's Void Engine, which was the best solution he found after studying the activation rules of the World Gate, which could save a lot of time when setting off.
The ship soon arrived at the magnificent portal in the depths of the universe, which was as magnificent and astounding as ever, and the fleets of civilizations that shuttled around the World Gate seemed to be always busy. Only here can we appreciate the incredible vitality and splendid and diverse civilization hidden in the seemingly empty and dead space. La Nina saw the door of the world for the first time, and was immediately speechless by this incredible building larger than the scale of the planet, watching the spaceship slowly lean into the hazy light curtain, the tail of the succubus girl subconsciously tied into a knot: this is the expression of tension.
"10,000 years ago, the gate of the world did not have a one-way 'launch' function," the number of terminals was stuck on the control platform, while giving everyone popular science, "At that time, the gate of the world had to be built in pairs, with each other being the transmitter and receiver, but later the function of one-way throwing was developed, and the gate of the world could be used as a 'dispatch slingshot'." The machine has submitted the coordinates to the Worldgate management host. It's going to launch us straight to the destination. Of course, when you return, you have to use the normal way of sailing. β
Hao Ren thought for a moment: "This can't be a problem?" What if a civilian ship without a Void Engine accidentally enters the one-way launch window? Won't you come back? β
"What do you think the sovereign hubs of each world are for," the number of terminals seems to think that the question is naΓ―ve. "One of the functions of the Sovereign Hub is to monitor the number of entries and exits in each world, just like the world management terminal used by the Protoss. It is to prevent people from crossing the border, and anyone who crosses the world barrier will be scanned and recorded, and illegal entry will be directly transmitted back. Of course, there are very occasional misses, but they are very small-scale counts, which are the size of a human being, and this is basically the case with what you call a 'traverser' in the general sense. β
La Nina didn't listen to the strange knowledge that she didn't understand at all, she just stared at the glorious curtain of light that was getting closer and closer, and it was so large that she couldn't see the edge. After discovering that the true size of the gate in front of her could not be measured by her eyes, she finally believed that Raven 12345 and Hao Ren were reliable. At this time, the succubus girl couldn't help but ask: "This gate was also built by your goddess?!" β
There was a trilling voice in his voice.
Hao Ren replied without looking back while confirming the status of the spaceship: "She didn't make it, but she is in charge." β
La NiΓ±a took a deep breath: "Since she's so powerful...... Why didn't she renovate her house as well? β
Hao Ren suddenly couldn't figure it out, and turned his head to look at Yizax: "Lao Wang, is there something wrong with your education method?" Why is this girl always entangled in this problem of renovating the house? β
Izax covered his face: "Alright, go about your business - you will have similar thoughts when you see your house and the door in front of you, okay?" β
Hao Ren shrugged his shoulders and took one last look at the holographic projection: "Hold on to it, the front is at the station - this is a one-way launch, it is said that there will be a little vibration!" β
As the words fell, the Giant Tortoise Rock Terrace rushed into the boundless glorious light curtain with an indomitable momentum. Only the little ripples in the space are left to dissipate.
I don't know how long it took to sway, but it finally stabilized, and Lily climbed out from under the chair and tugged at Hao Ren's pants: "Landlord, you said there would be a little vibration?" You call this a little shock?! β
Hao Ren stood up dizzily. After making sure the ship was safe, he reached out and pulled Lily up, and found that most of the people around him had gotten up from the ground, with the exception of Itzax: the cargo was so large that it was almost stuck in a chair. The concussion didn't shake him out.
Hao Ren slapped on the terminal: "Why is the movement so big!" One-way launch is like that? β
"Nonsense, you think a one-way launch is a tour group treatment." The number of terminals buzzed and vibrated on the control platform, "Only the military or imperial officials like you can use the one-way teleportation function. Ordinary races can't use it, but the biggest feature of those who can afford to use the standard equipment of the empire is that the leather is resistant to beating, who still thinks about comfort...... Come and help, this machine is stuck......"
Hao Ren took out a chopstick and pried the number of terminals out of the card slot, while looking at the exterior picture from the holographic projection: "Let's be here?" β
The ship was now suspended in a chaotic dark red cloud of air, which felt like a cloud of red smoke that never dissipated, filled with a faint light, and it was impossible to see where the light source was. Hao Ren asked the location monitor to take pictures of the entire area of the spaceship, and found no sun or any similar bright celestial objects, only a vague undulating scene similar to the earth and mountains in the red clouds.
Izzax looked at his surroundings and quickly made a judgment: "We may be inside the Helm Smoke Column. It's a safe entry point, and no one would leave a space door open in such a place. β
Then he pointed in a direction in the red smoke: "Fly over there." β
Hao Ren confirmed that there was no abnormal reaction around the Giant Turtle Rock Platform, and asked the terminal to drive the ship out of the smoke area.
The cloudy, thick red smoke layered in layers like substance, and soon thinned out again, and the ship pierced through the vast clouds before finally leaving the area known as the "Pillar of Smoke" in Helm, and the vision ahead suddenly widened.
It was unsettling to see an ominous dark red earth spread out in front of my eyes, as if it had been soaked in blood. There is no green vegetation in sight on the dark red earth, and the rugged and pristine landscape is covered with otherworldly "plants and trees" that make it almost impossible to determine whether they are plants or not. Mountains and rivers can be seen on the distant horizon, but both the mountains and the plains have the same monotonous and unpleasant color.
There were still some bright lines flowing on the mountains in the distance, Hao Ren zoomed in the camera and found that it was actually a lava waterfall!
And above this land, the chaotic sky is also a depressing red, and the dense clouds are churning in the sky, as if there is an infinite sea of fire burning behind the clouds, and from time to time a flash of light flashes in the distant sky, like thunder, and as if a falling meteorite is igniting the atmosphere.
"I'm going to ......" Hao Ren looked at the hellish landscape in front of him, which was not suitable for survival no matter how you look at it, "The living environment in your hometown is enough to challenge the limit." β
Looking at such a scene, Izax even nodded nostalgically: "Hey, I finally saw the scenery of my hometown again......"
Hao Ren was speechless: "I should have thrown you on Mars for a few days, enough for you to experience life." β
Izax retorted solemnly: "No, it's too cold on Mars, it's not as warm as my hometown......"
Hao Ren asked the spacecraft to look for a suitable landing site on the vast plains, and at the same time turned the external monitor to the back of the spacecraft to see what the Helm Smoke Column was, and what he saw was a magnificent wall of smoke like a cliff hanging from the sky, and the endless dust and mist spread out, and the whole picture of this "smoke column" could not be seen at all. He made the spaceship run forward for hundreds of kilometers in one breath before finally getting a clear view of the plume of smoke: it was a column of gas rising from a crater of incalculable size on the earth, rising straight into the sky in a strange way, with no signs of spreading at all, really like a smooth pillar supporting the sky.
This spectacular scene stunned everyone!
Hao Ren finally understood one thing substantively: he was already standing on the land of demons, and he had to be careful everywhere - creatures that could jump around in such extreme environments and have the leisure to play world wars all day long were definitely not fucking vegetarians!
