Chapter 1154: Odin Is Back

The Aerym Hao Ren referred to was not Peatopia. Though Peatopia still had plenty of space to accommodate the Nine Worlds, placing too many different civilizations on the same planet would create hidden danger in the long run. So he decided to put the Twilight Civilization in a place where he had just included in the development agenda.

The Scarred Nebula.

Presumably, people had forgotten what the Scarred Nebula was. If not for the construction of a gateway to the Plane of Dreams, even Hao Ren himself had almost forgotten the space wonder in the surface world. The Scarred Nebula, located in the deep universe, was a remnant of the ancient galaxy torn apart by the Wall of Reality. Many years ago, when the Wall of Reality collapsed, the surface world and the Plane of Dreams collided, causing an extinction-level event. A large number of celestial bodies were affected, and the Scarred Nebula was one of them. The collision of the two worlds caused a chain reaction and annihilated most of the celestial bodies there, leaving behind a vast unstable space-fissure in space and a magnificent nebula that wrapped around the fissure. Raven 12345 once brought Hao Ren there to watch in person the horrific aftermath of the collapse of the Wall of Reality. It was an unforgettable experience for him.

The Scarred Nebula of today was not entirely lifeless. There was a new group of exiles building their new homes there, and the newly settled planet was new home Hao Ren had arranged for Twilight Civilization: the planet Inferno.

Though the planet had gotten rid of its previous horrible appearance and now was a vibrant new world, the name Inferno was still the official name. Hao Ren kept the old name was simply because he did not want to memorize a new name.

Currently, the People of the Sun were the only inhabitants of the planet.

Those ancient survivors were still in the early stages of reconstruction of their civilization. They had little idea of the world outside the steppe that they had been living for generations. The Twilight remnants of the Nine Kingdoms also had the same problem: they had no concept of a planet and how big it could be. For them, Twilight Capital was their home. They were terrified by the new environment outside their city.

This characteristic trait they shared made the coexistence of both civilizations feasible. Apart from obeying Hao Ren’s orders, the best thing was that they all were clueless about how big the world was. Hao Ren could settle the two groups of people in a different place in Inferno, easily surviving the early conflict-prone period.

Of course, it was difficult to tell whether the two civilizations would collide eventually. But as an inspector, Hao Ren could only do his best to give them a good start.

Galazur and Anthony Alfonso became interested in the planet Inferno. Especially Anthony Alfonso, an academic madman, had been jealous of Hao Ren’s access to so many ‘observation targets.’ He stroked his beard and asked, “The new planet sounds not bad, but the Twilight survivors may have a long period of adaptation. The place seems to be unsuitable for earthlings.”

“It is mainly atmospheric factor, and the threat of diseases.” Hao Ren nodded. “But these are not an issue; Yggdrasil is a powerful First Born. There is also a First Born in a zombie-like state under my control. With the two guardians of the ecosystem in place, they could easily jointly create an environmental buffer mechanism.”

“The Scarred Nebula is a region that is located in the great fissure of the Wall of Reality. The inner nebula is the point of singularity between the surface world and the Plane of Dreams. Things crossing over from the surface world would inevitably be affected. Have you considered this?” Galazur asked.

“This is exactly the point,” Hao Ren explained with a smile. “I have asked the MDT to check the information characteristics of Yggdrasil and found that he still retains a considerable degree of information on the Plane of Dreams after crossing the Wall of Reality. This is probably because he shouldered the heavy responsibility as the ark. When transporting tinder to the surface world, he needed to retain the environmental information of the Plane of Dreams in his own body. In short, Yggdrasil is a creature living between the surface world and the Plane of Dreams, a huge point of information entanglement. Sending him to the Scarred Nebula is better than letting him float around freely in the surface world. The Twilight remnants living on the ‘body’ of Yggdrasil had more or less the same changes. So there is no danger to let them live in the Scarred Nebula.”

“Then, the problem is solved.” Anthony Alfonso stroke his beard and nodded lightly. “If you need help, I’m happy to help.”

“Me too. If you need help, please let me know. The young dragons are going to have their final exam. A five-mark incentive could easily exchange for hundreds of coolies,” Galazur said, patting her chest.

“Thank you for all your kindness.” Hao Ren nodded, wiping the cold sweat off his forehead.

Twenty kilometers away from Twilight Capital, which was now a ruin, there was a wilderness rich in natural resources. Newly resettled in this place, the Twilight remnants were busily preparing for their new homes.

The first batch of immigrants had already arrived while the last batch was still on the way. It had been a busy day for the Steam Assembly and the Twilight Guards distributing water supplies and medicines. They then decided to solve the housing problem by using the standard materials they had brought out.

The shanty settlements began to take shape amid the rumbling of the heavy machinery and noise of the young dragons. Workers singing and transports spewing steam. Working among humans was a group of dragon eager beavers. After completing the tasks assigned to them, these young dragons behaved just like what they were: playful. Just that their plaything was more advanced.

There were building houses.

Even without the help of magic, a dragon could easily carry up to 100 tons of steel. Dragons carrying huge steel beams, cement boards, and stones running around was a common sight. Some smarter ones, probably the bullies in the class, were squatting on the side studying the design drawings of human-built houses while instructing their peers to move the bricks in front. It was a very coordinated, efficient, and orderly scene, fully demonstrating that knowledge was power.

As for the humans of Twilight Capital, they were not afraid of these powerful creatures, especially when they saw some dragons running into the woods and coming back with leaves in their mouths.

“Dragons are basically carnivorous,” Galazur said, looking a little weird on her face when Hao Ren and his team came visiting in the wilderness. “Sometimes they have too much meat that they decide to chew the leaves to help digestion.”

“Me too!” Lily nodded.

Amid the hustle and bustle, there was still a sirene place—a hill in the center of the wilderness.

Guards in black robe guarded the hill while the Twilight Guards were stationed at the entrances and exits around the hill. The only building on the hill was a black-iron hut that was moved here. In front of the hut, Hao Ren saw Odin who had been freed from the Iron Throne.

This frail ‘king of all gods’ was still a long way from recovery.

Skinny, like a leaf in the wind, Odin draped in a thick gray robe to protect himself from the unforgiving cold wind. His messy hair was fluttering in the wind, a stark contrast with his previous image as the master of the Golden Palace.

But compared to being confined on the Iron Throne, he was in better shape now.

Standing on the high ground overlooking the busy construction site, Odin nodded at them when he saw Hao Ren and his team. “I have heard the noise. I presume Twilight Capital has gone.”

“It has fulfilled its historical mission.” Hao Ren nodded back.

Odin was silent for a few seconds before he sighed. “We can still rebuild as long as the people are still here. What arrangements do you have next?”

“The Nine Kingdoms cannot continue drifting in the universe, but they also cannot return to the earth,” Hao Ren explained. “I have found a good place, a planet under my name that I can let you and your people live there. But before that, I hope you can come with us to a place.”

Odin was stunned to hear that Hao Ren had a planet under his name. But he remained composed and asked casually, “Where to go?”

“The Garden of Asgard,” Hao Ren replied. “A loyal Valkyrie is still there. Let’s go meet her.”
