Seven teams in seven separate space shuttles—the spacecraft carrying the testers quickly reached the predetermined contact points. At the same time they arrived, there were corresponding divine bursts in the deep universe. It was entirely expected, and the test was incredibly successful.

The first shuttle arrived at the target position in Tannagost. After leaving CARS, there was no need for the space shuttle to enter hyperspace. It flew around the lower orbit before entering the atmosphere. Study Group One landed on the golden planet, and a vibrant world filled with life appeared before them. The pale gold rocks, golden-green plants, and the golden city ruins between the forests and mountains were amazing. Plus, they were everywhere.

The Ancattero Family, the descendants of the Tannaeans who fled to Earth and were almost wiped out earlier, finally stepped foot on their homeworld. They lacked a sense of connection during the visit to Holletta, but here, they could not help but feel excited. The Ancattero Family saw that nature was about to claim the remnants of the city, and they also saw the golden city of Alamanda, which Hao Ren had transformed into a forward base. The place was now a factory park and the nest of the drone cluster, but it still retained the original appearance of Alamanda. They could hardly believe their eyes that these were the magnificent cities that their ancestors built.

“This is Tannagost, the early planet that the Sun King discovered,” said an Aerymian elven tour guide. “It was the garden of the goddess of creation and destructed by the First Born 10,000 years ago. The damage to the ecosystem was much severe than Holletta had experienced. Here is the hometown of the Tannaeans, whose descendant is the Ancattero Family on Earth. This race with great wisdom built many brilliant cities on their planet. They fought the First Born until the last moment. The city before you is Alamanda, one of the last fortress cities back then.

“After losing the war, the souls of the Tannaeans were distorted and turned into vengeful spirits. You must be already familiar with the vengeful-spirit phenomenon on earth.

“Information about the Tannagost civilization has been extracted and uploaded. They will not be forgotten.

“This planet is now on the track to recovery. With the help of a gentle First Born, it has acquired a new ecosystem. An intelligent alien race, Zorm, is the current inhabitants of the planet, while Zorm is also the name of the First Born, the guardian of this planet. Later we will visit the towns built by the Zormese, who have tenaciously gotten a foothold on the planet and built some settlements near the edge of the primary forest and the ancient city ruins. While on the way, I will tell you about the history of Zormese civilization, which is another epically tragic story.”

The visitors walked in the forest of Tannagost. The pale-gold planet was gleaming when looking from space. In the distant universe, a drone monitoring station was continuously streaming data back to the CARS.

“Day 4, at 3:15 pm, the sample group entered the Tannagost ecosphere test point. A divine bust was detected in Deep Space-KD-627JS15-Z22 region. Category-D burst. It repeated 12 times in succession.

“Deep Space-XXXX region, a divine burst was detected. Burst Category-D, D+. Burst repeated six times in succession.”

The second shuttle landed on a cold dark-brown planet filled with toxic gases. The surface of the planet was covered in a vast expanse of ​​radioactive liquid. The radioactive ocean was filled with some disturbing, purple-black, fluorescent native flora which swayed under the surface. The place looked horribly strange.

“Planet PT-05, a declining planet, which the Sun King has just discovered it not long ago. Our exploration of this planet is still in its infancy. But one thing is sure, it should be the place of origin of the shadelings on Earth.

“This planet is still filled with powerful, shadowy energy, but its natural environment is no longer habitable for the shadelings. As you can see, it is full of toxic and radioactive substances. You must wear life-support gear to stay here. The drone found a huge corpse of the First Born at the bottom of the ocean, and a large number of trenches and continental shelf remnants that the First Born’s tentacles had torn apart. There is no doubt that the First Born was the one who destroyed the ecosphere here.

“The shadelings has developed into an inter-planetary civilization. We found the colonial city ruins on the satellites of the planet and the surrounding space. Due to the scale of the devastation on the planet, it could no longer restore its shadeling civilization.”

A second drone monitoring station beamed back a message from deep space and captured by the central computer of the CARS.

“Day 4, 4:26 pm, the sample group entered PT-05 test point. The shadelings came into their original ecosphere. Deep Space-XXXX region detected Category-D divine burst. The burst repeated 14 times.

“Deep Space-XXXX region detected Category-C divine burst. It appeared once.”

The third space shuttle arrived at a completely frozen planet and landed on a thick layer of ice. Endless ice sheets were everywhere with massive crisscrossed cracks in the ice. Some of the cracks were so deep that they led to the planet surface at the bottom. It was only possible to see the original planet surface by descending to the bottom through these cracks. In the dry, windless, and cold atmosphere, the Aerymian Elf introduced this lifeless world with a solemn tone of voice.

“Planet PT-17. We found its name on a monument— Galanhod, meaning a paradise guarded by heroes. The monument is buried deep in the ice. Frozen in its surroundings are 140,000 human bodies, who were once the inhabitants of this planet and the last survivors. It is a native eco-planet. The life on this planet was not the creation of the goddess of creation but naturally born. Sadly, this place did not escape the catastrophe. There is evidence that a crazy guardian starship discovered the planet and destroyed its geomagnetic field and atmospheric circulation system, and led to extreme temperature swings that destroyed the ecosphere.

“Buried under the ice are 127 kingdoms and city-states. They built their civilizations with magic power. Countless heroes, kings, knights, scholars, civilians, monks, farmers, nobles; all sleep in the three-kilometer-thick ice.

“The drones have excavated parts of the planet and melted the planet’s arctic ice sheet using a laser beam from space. We have built a massive library there to store the books and epigraphic relics.”

Several monitoring stations floated quietly in space, they gleamed mysteriously when the distant starlight shone on their smooth surfaces.

“Day 4, 4:35 pm, the sample group entered the Gahrahmhod test point. Deep Space-XXXX region detected a Category-D divine burst. It repeated seven times. Correction: twelve times.”

All the data collected were sent to the central computer of the CARS, which then used a sophisticated data processing program to reconstruct and analyze the war data into various reports and conclusions with an excellent reference value.

The divine burst chart was changing rapidly with more colors and lines emerging and intertwining to become a vast and ever-changing information network. With each contact by the ‘remnant group’ with the test point, this burst chart appeared like the undulation of ocean waves. In the undulation, there was the amazing burst of bright ‘information cluster.’ It would knock your socks off when it was associated with the massive information network covering the entire universe.

“All contact points have triggered deep-space divine bursts, including contact between native races and native eco-planets.” Hao Ren pointed to the spectacular information network. “All bursts happened at super-light speed. Divine power is not restricted by space and time. At present, the entire universe is bustling with such intensive information exchange activities, except for the prison of ​​the Mad Lord.”

“Not only limited to the eco-worlds created by our mother?” Muru muttered to himself, “What exactly is this thing that it requires such a massive scale of information network?”

“What is the nature of these burst points?” Lemendusa looked down at Hao Ren. “Have your drone cluster confirmed it on the ground?”

“Of course, as long as the burst site is within the range of the drone cluster, I had sent a probe to check the burst source out,” Hao Ren replied. He then called up another set of holograms. Light dots below the divine burst chart were flashing continuously in tune with the information network. “It’s a star,” Hao Ren said.

“A star?” The three guardian giants exclaimed in unison.

“Yup, a star. The drone cluster has found a star in every burst location. These stars have similar size and age, from temperature to luminosity, the difference is within 50% range.” Hao Ren paused and then said slowly, “That is to say, these stars were all specially selected; the goddess of creation created this network.”

“The stars in the universe are bursting in divine power?” Y’zaks fell into deep thought. “Since it is an information exchange, it must be content. Can’t you crack it?”

“It’s not easy to crack divine encryption as it is directly related to the operation of the truth of the universe.” Hao Ren shook his head. “More importantly, to prevent things from getting out of hand, the excitation applied to this divine network must be kept to the minimum, though it will be more difficult to analyze the data.”

Everyone was silent.
