Chapter 1005: The Truth of the Ruins

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

These demons may have misunderstood the concept of a peacekeeping force. Perhaps they focused their understanding on the word “force” rather than “peacekeeping”. Nevertheless, this was not important, because the term itself was just a cover used in Hao Ren’s report.

After learning about the Council of Elders, Hao Ren knew that this incident had to be resolved by tough means.

After clearing away the last handful of guards inside the palace, the demon king’s soldiers began to estimate the damage done and investigate the interior structure of the newly-captured ruins. Brutalus led the demons to set up a giant runestone device in the square to activate the Demonic Barrier and consolidate the place into a new stronghold. Looking at the thick smoke still lingering on the battlefield, Hao Ren turned and said, “Let’s go and see… Oh my god, Lily, what’s wrong with you?”

He was startled when he turned his head. The husky girl’s hair was standing on end all over her body. She stood in a daze behind Hao Ren, staring into space as if she had just experienced a violent typhoon. Hao Ren’s scream finally brought Lily’s soul back. The husky girl rolled her eyes, still in a daze. Then, she shook her ears and finally spoke, “…Is it over?”

“Maybe her brain’s been damaged by the deafening noise just now!” Nangong Wuyue quickly cast a healing spell on Lily and said, “I hope not. You’re already so dumb…”

Hao Ren kept patting Lily on the shoulder and waving his hand before her eyes. “Silly girl… You should’ve transformed back into your human form just now!”

Lily grabbed Hao Ren by the hand but she had not calmed down. “It all happened so suddenly…” She looked like she was about to cry.

Hao Ren could only leave the useless husky to Wuyue while he and Vivian went to check the situation on the battlefield together.

Thick smoke billowed over the battlefield after the battle. The places where the Demonic Flare had burned through had a pungent smell to them. The whole palace and the square in front of it were in a mess. But just as Master Teuton said, these ancient and mysterious ruins were incredibly strong. Despite the intensity of the battle and the firepower of the demon king’s legion being as powerful as the heavy firepower of the modern world, the ruins remained intact.

Well, it was a little odd to say that the ruins were intact, but that was the truth.

Hao Ren came to a spot where there were some burning debris left by the explosive runestones and a large smudge, which had blackened the ground. There was no crack on the ground after the explosion. He touched the ground and found that it was a slab as smooth as jade: the entire square was built with similar materials.

“No scratches at all.” Vivian watched the scene in surprise. She looked around and found that although the battlefield appeared to be in a mess, covered with smoke and scattered weapons, the ruins were not damaged at all. She snapped her fingers to summon a tiny bat that was covered in electric light. She directed it to nibble on a “brick” next to it, but she soon heard a painful cry from the little bat.

“This is the second most powerful ultrastrength material after the material that the main deck of the Petrachelys is made of.” Hao Ren stood up, frowning. “So far, no mortal race in the Plane of Dreams or the Surface World has produced such a thing.”

“Huh?” Vivian covered her mouth.

Hao Ren did not say a word. He just pulled out his psionic gun and fired at the ground not far away.

A light, pale blue mist erupted as the bright psionic flare hit the ground and the indestructible historical remains of Coldpath were finally destroyed by the magic weapon. The stone bricks exploded into large fragments, and the crystallized pieces flew all over the sky. When the debris settled, a crater about a meter in diameter and covered with blue crystals at the bottom was left behind.

“Oh my… What a powerful weapon you have!” exclaimed White Flame when she saw it.

But Hao Ren shook his head and said, “No, on the contrary, it has weakened too much.”

The big crater caused by the psionic gun looked scary, but it would have created a bigger impact if it had been used to shoot common materials. White Flame could not tell, but Hao Ren was very familiar with the performance of his gun. It should have made a larger crater.

Only divinity could weaken the power of the psionic weapon.

All mortal beings in the world had zero resistance to the psionic powers. Even the slightest bit of it, such as Hao Ren’s pistol, could do a ton of real damage to them.

Only true gods and godly creations could resist psionic powers. Even a mere 0.1 % of resistivity was an insurmountable advantage compared to 0 %.

Sometimes, the divinity was deeply hidden, and sometimes, it dissipated and was almost impossible to detect, but there was one method of detection that was always effective: testing with a psionic weapon.

As long as power loss occurred, it had to be a god’s creation.

Vivian vaguely guessed the purpose of the test. She gaped and asked, “Is this…”

Hao Ren did not answer, instead he quickly ran to the palace not far away. He rushed through the palace gate, searching between the huge pillars and the ruined relief sculptures, trying to find some architectural features that were more in line with his memory. Finally, he stopped in front of a well-preserved relief sculpture.

He looked at the exquisite and mysterious ruins before him, then at the wide halls on either side. Suddenly, the blurry and distorted fragments of his memory suddenly overlapped with the scene before him. A great excitement permeated from the bottom of his heart. “I knew it! I felt a sense of déjà vu when I stepped into this place!”

Vivian and White Flame rushed in. Vivian knew what Hao Ren was referring to. “Is this the palace of the goddess of creation?”

“Yes!” Hao Ren was overwhelmed with excitement. He could not believe that the biggest clue he had ever pursued would suddenly appear to him in this way. “This is the palace! This is the place I saw in the vision!” said Hao Ren while he hugged Vivian.

Vivian was also excited when she heard it. “Really? Really? Are you sure? But how did the palace get here?”

“The Gilded Disc was teleported here, and the palace could have been sent here together! We must celebrate when we go back. What a surprise!” Hao Ren grabbed Vivian by her shoulders and said excitedly.

“I want a new wok! And a new spatula!” said Vivian enthusiastically.

White Flame could not stand it and interrupted them, “Umm… Are you two done? Who’s gonna explain it to me?”

Vivian and Hao Ren quickly separated, looking embarrassed. Hao Ren then scratched his head and said, “Err… I’m just feeling a little excited.”

Vivian laughed awkwardly. She waved her hand and said, “It’s related to our job, and it’s hard to explain to you.”

White Flame looked at the two crazy people in front of her suspiciously, but she knew that there were mysterious forces behind Hao Ren, and there were some things she could not ask about. So, she did not go into it in the end.

Hao Ren soon recovered from his excitement and embarrassment. He stared wide-eyed at everything around him, and was now fully convinced that this was the architectural style he saw in the vision from the Gilded Disc.

The palace of the goddess on the Star of Creation.

At first, he just found all the palaces somewhat familiar. However, he could not recognize them because the vision he saw by touching the Gilded Disc was distorted by his subconscious mind. Even though he thought he saw it clearly, when he tried to recall it, it was blurry, just like trying to recall a dream. The second reason was the fragmented wreckages all over Coldpath. These were fragments that spilled after the collapse of the Star of Creation. It was difficult to discern their old forms by these scattered fragments alone, not to mention, he had only seen the original appearance of the palace in a blurred vision.

Hao Ren frowned at the ruined hall. As the fragments of memory in his mind gradually reassembled, he discovered another astonishing thing.

This place seemed to be… where he was in the vision!
