The Record of Unusual Creatures

It was understandable for lunatic creatures to have an eccentric worldview, but it was hard to grasp why a PDA was behaving like a lunatic creature. No one knew what happened to the piece of electronic brick when it was rolled out from the factory. It thought that it could become a central computer of a spacecraft but never realized that it would remain a PDA even if it plugged itself into the console and sat there for 10,000 years.     

Hao Ren was caught between a rock and a hard place. Since the MDT was insistent, he looked to Nolan. "Would you please just let it be for the time being? Treat it as a pendant hanging on your neck…"     

Nolan shot Hao Ren a sideways glance. "How would you feel if you had a brick sticking out on your head while you go out shopping?"     

Hao Ren thought about it for a moment. He could not understand Nolan's perspective as a spaceship right then.     

"Maybe the two of you should talk to each other nicely." Hao Ren threw his hands up helplessly. "I totally can't understand the power struggle between a spaceship and a PDA."     

Dumbfounded, Hessiana looked at Hao Ren who was arguing with his spaceship and PDA. "I don't think I can understand anyone of you."     

While the MDT and Nolan bickered among themselves, the Petrachelys had lifted to a higher altitude. Leaving the turbid, heavy atmosphere, it broke through the glowing clouds and finally reached the cloud top. Shortly after, the spacecraft approached the lower orbit of planet Inferno.     

That was as high as it could rise. If it went up any farther, the spacecraft would leave the dimension and fall out into the main universe.     

Aside from planet Inferno, which glowed white, the space around it was empty. There were no suns, moons or stars, not even a tiny bit of celestial debris. There was only a layer of extremely thin gases in space; Inferno had been losing its atmosphere slowly for the past 10,000 years. Hao Ren allowed Nolan to hover the spacecraft near the critical point of the dimension, and soon, the hatchway of the cargo bay opened.     

A group of slender, crewless aerial vehicles came out of the hatchway, looking like miniature space shuttles. They flew to the top of Inferno and hovered at a distance from the atmosphere.     

These drones were carrying out geolocation mapping, outlining the contours of the planet, which needed to be preserved. They would then wait for Raven 12345's instructions.     

The spacecraft stayed in the critical point for a day and a night before Raven 12345 finally sent out a message. "I've adjusted the stellar parameters and surrounding celestial environment. The door will open in 10 minutes."     

Dozing off on the flight deck, Hao Ren was awakened by the incoming message. He turned on the microphone, broadcast the voice message through the internal broadcasting system, and waited.     

He was eager to know how a real goddess was going to transfer a planet from outside the universe to inside the universe.     

Everyone gathered on the flight deck noisily like they were in a market. Nolan turned on the external cameras and panoramic projection so that the entire flight deck now had a 360-degree view of the universe outside. Shortly after, she contacted the drones that she released a day ago and sent them some navigation signals.     

Nothing happened in the first few seconds. But very quickly, a strange halo appeared out of nowhere and enveloped the entire planet as well as the Petrachelys, which was still hovering over the planet's orbit. The "great gate" phenomenon that Hao Ren had been expecting did not occur. Instead, he saw an infinite number of stars emerging directly from the ubiquitous light.     

After a while of amazement, he began to realize that it was the starlight from the regular universe.     

There was no "gate" phenomenon. The merging of two three-dimensional spaces was done in a higher dimension so that in a three-dimensional space, Hao Ren would not see himself passing through a gate. Instead, the destination universe would appear in front of him out of nowhere.     

The ubiquitous radiance only appeared very briefly as the two dimensions merged. The halo effect was just the distortion of the starlight.     

As the halo effect went away, stars and nebulae began to emerge, giving the impression that the thin space of planet Inferno was expanding rapidly into a larger universe. Stars, gaseous clouds, and celestial masses appeared in the once-dark universe. There was a shiny star near planet Inferno.     

The entire chunk of space debris had been successfully "placed" into the Surface World, but soon, Hao Ren realized that the process was far from complete. Inferno was still stationary relative to the sun. It needed to circle the sun so that it would stay in its orbit, but to do that, it needed a push: a prime force.     

Raven 12345 had it covered. A light-blue film appeared around Inferno, stopping space and time on the planet.     

An even more jaw-dropping phenomenon happened as an unprecedentedly large goddess appeared in space.     

The powerful silver-haired goddess appeared next to the planet as if was the natural thing to do. The goddess was more massive than several planets combined, and she looked more imposing than the nearby star. It was the first time Hao Ren had ever seen Raven 12345 appearing in that way. She bent down and made a face at the Petrachelys before she turned her head and aimed at Inferno. She took two steps back and swung her leg.     

The blessing of the goddess echoed throughout the universe. "Here you go!"     

Inferno began to go round the sun immediately!     

Hao Ren was lost for words. Something came to mind when he finally realized what happened. "The Prime Force. The Prime Force."     

Holy crap! That was the so-called Prime Force! How was he going to tell the people of Inferno that the goddess kicked them into orbit?     

Vivian poked Hao Ren's arm. "Mr. Landlord, do you still think that my face was too big in my demon-god form?"     

Hao Ren looked up at Raven 12345, and his jaw dropped. He could not see Raven 12345 because all he saw was white—a tiny part of the goddess' arm. What happened earlier was seen from the perspective of a probe far out in space. He froze for a long while before he realized that he needed to call the goddess. "Good God! Is this how you start a planetary system? What about the high-tech mathematical engine, gravity correction, kinetic energy and the like?"     

"Oh, I do have those things, but I figured that a simpler and cruder method would work the same as long as I first gave the planet a shield."     

Cold sweat trickled down Hao Ren's forehead. "It doesn't sound very scientific though," he said.     

Raven 12345 smiled wryly. "That's okay. No one was looking; it's quiet in this part of the universe."     

Hao Ren turned his head around and glanced at Hessiana as well as her sidekicks. The vampire trio was still in awe. He hemmed and said, "What have you seen?"     

Turcan woke up and traced a cross in the air with his hand; he may be the first vampire history to do that. "Is that the legendary 'Prime Force'? And God is a female?"     

Hao Ren grabbed his hair. "Pretend that you saw nothing. It's kind of hard to explain."     

He was not sure if he should tell them that the goddess who was in charge of that universe was a lunatic, and that universe was a rehabilitation center for some mentally disabled deity.     

The "space-time-stopping magic" had dissipated, but an extra layer of protection was still above the atmosphere. This layer of security was to reduce the impact of sunlight on the planet. After all, the planet had been in a cold and lonely place for 10,000 years. It would be disastrous to heat the planet suddenly. Raven 12345 transformed back to her usual size and appeared next to Hao Ren in a flash of light.     

"Hey, how are you feeling?" The goddess smacked Hao Ren on the shoulder.     

Hao Ren drew his lips back and rubbed his arm. "Spectacular!" he replied.     

"It's more convenient in the Surface World. I can help you in person." Raven 12345 guffawed. "However, it's not enough to move the planet here. You need to let the planet live in a new environment; it's a delicate job. Do you have any plans?"     

Hao Ren immediately told her his plan, including controlling the First Born to build a new ecosystem and hiring the Fairy Mining Conglomerate to rip apart the upper crust. Raven 12345 continued to as she listened with a satisfied look on her face. "Well, you're more mature than before. I was thinking of helping to transform the planet for you if you didn't know how."     

Hao Ren immediately looked at her with anticipation.     

Raven 12345 smiled and said, "But since you already have a plan, I won't worry about you."     

Hao Ren's heart sank.
