Sure enough, the Big Beardy and the other three ascetics were all nervous the moment Hao Ren mentioned the orb. It seemed to be an extremely sensitive topic.

"Relax, I‘m not interested in your treasure. Have you forgotten that this orb is the treasure only in your world? No one here knows the importance of it," Hao Ren explained and hurriedly waved his hand, and at the same time thought of a good reason, "Ok, you all are sent to this planet should also be partly because of the impact of the orb, so I need to use it to analyze this teleportation process. This is the necessary step to send you back."

The Big Beardy looked suspiciously at Hao Ren. The Orb of the Holy Synod was the most precious treasure of the four of them. When the little green men wanted to see it, they almost broke out a violent conflict. But Hao Ren was more favorable to them, and they agreed what Hao Ren just said: The orb was a treasure in the Plane of Dream, and now they were in another world, and the orb had no value to the people in this world. So the Big Beardy pondered for a long time, nodded reluctantly and said, "I can let you see, but you can’t touch it. I allow you to touch it only after you show us that you do have the ability to open the dimensional door. This is a sacred item, you must understand it."

The Big Beardy’s stance was very firm. After Hao Ren agreed, Big Beardy carefully opened a thick cloth pocket hanging on him: he carried the orb with him.

The cloth bag was opened, and a golden orb with a shimmering gleam was taken out.

This was a metal ball of a football size, the material was unclear, but it kept glowing. It had complex and delicate lines on its surface. The lines were straight, concave-convex orderly, and scattered on the surface. At first glance, it seemed to be some kind of hieroglyphics, but a careful observation revealed that all the lines were connected together throughout the sphere. Hao Ren was looking curiously at the orb, wondering how they could communicate with their Goddess. But after observing for a while, he did not see the connection between this thing and the God, but he found the orb kinda familiar.

He did not see the orb before, but the jagged lines of the orb... vaguely reminded him of something.

"These patterns…" Hao Ren muttered to himself, "Why does it look familiar… And the size of this orb..."

Vivian frowned and looked at it for a long time, the poor memory that did not work for 10000 years surprisingly worked this time. She suddenly exclaimed, "Ah right! Is there a hole in the Sacred Relic of Origins that is about the same size? I remember the same pattern in that round hole!"

After Vivian reminded him, Hao Ren immediately realized why it felt so familiar. He was surprised and puzzled and said, "Right! There is a hole in the Sacred Relic of Origins… what a coincidence!"

At this moment, the data terminal suddenly said, "Scan completed, 100% contour similarity, in order to prevent damage to its function, the internal structure is temporarily unknown."

Hao Ren and the rest of his team were shocked. The younger female ascetic looked curiously at the Mobile Data Terminal on Hao Ren’s shoulder and asked, "Your pauldron is talking?"

After the names of brick, coaster, merry-go-round, the Mobile Data Terminal got a new identity, which let it immediately flew into a rage and yelled, "Ignorant! Open your eyes and look at me, have you ever seen a pauldron of this small! I am the empire-made Mobile Data Brick ... No, it’s Mobile Data Terminal!"

The Big Beardy ignored this talking ‘alchemy device’. He just protected the orb in his hand and looked at Hao Ren carefully and asked, "What did you say? You have seen something related to the Orb of the Holy Synod?"

He thought of many things in a moment: since he could be flung out of the Plane of Dreams, something similar might have happened in the past, and perhaps some other Goddess’s treasure had been displaced to another world. The Big Beardy was a sharp thinker, and as the elder of the four, he thought about things very quickly and carefully.

Hao Ren reacted quickly and nodded and told them the half-truth, "We did find something in the desert that might be related to the orb in your arms, but not an orb, but a device. There’s a missing part on that device, it’s supposed to be the Orb of the Holy Synod, but I have to put these two things together to confirm that."

Big Beardy looked at Hao Ren’s expression and did not think that Hao Ren was lying, but still put the orb into the pocket. He gritted his teeth and said, "You have to let me look at the equipment you said. If it is the sacred thing that Goddess left in the other world, I can study it with you--it seems you are a scholar, you should have the necessary tools. But under any circumstances, the orb can’t leave my sight, and if that equipment is the sacred thing belong to Goddess, I’m going to take it away."

The Big Beardy was a little unreasonable, but Hao Ren nodded and thought that he finally saw the tough side of an ascetic. He promised the Big Beardy and at the same time, he told Mobile Data Terminal in his mind, "Make a copy of The Sacred Relic of Origins…"

The structure of The Sacred Relic of Origins was not complicated to the Mobile Data Terminal. The material that made up the sacred relic was also very simple and can be composed in the ship-borne factory. The last time the data terminal did the experiment, it copied several sets of ‘inner components’ of the sacred relic, and now it was not a problem to compose a complete set. The data terminal happily promised, "Complete in an hour."

And now, they were walking out of the eco-town. Everyone seemed preoccupied with some troubles, except Lily, who was humming and looked carefree. Hao Ren was speculating on the connection between the orb and The Sacred Relic of Origins and their true function; Becky was homesick; Nangong Wuyue and Y’zaks were worrying about Hao Ren; the four ascetics were immersed in the sacred knowledge of the Otherworld and the sacred relic that made their heart and mind restless; Vivian was thinking about what to cook tonight, and Lil Pea was thinking about what to eat tonight.

Everybody was thinking about something, except the husky.

Tharam, together with a group of little green men, were waiting outside and did not dare to go nearer. Now when the little green men saw them, they immediately gather around Hao Ren. Hao Ren could only see a bunch of identical green heads swaying in front of him like a bunch of mung bean cakes was having a meeting. Hao Ren did not know where to look until Tharam called him. He nodded to Tharam and said, "It’s done and we’re leaving."

Tharam was pulling Hao Ren’s hand warmly and asked, "Not staying for dinner? I heard that this is popular on earth..."

Although Hao Ren was very interested in alien food, he still pretended to reject politely and said, "No, we have to go back to work…"

Tharam immediately nodded and said, "Ok, then you go. I have to deal with something here, and will go back to Kuiper station tomorrow."

That left the last part of the sentence ‘but it’s disrespectful to decline your warm hospitality’ directly choked to death in Hao Ren’s throat. And he thought: why this little green man was so honest!

They bid farewell to the little green men and went to the spaceship landing ground. It was the first time in a few months that four ascetics had left the steel facility in complete freedom. The Big Beardy looked back at the little green men who were still waving goodbye at the door and said, "Actually these green creatures are friendly."

Another young male ascetic nodded and said, "But they look too much like monsters."

The young female ascetic also said, "We thought we were in hell, and the Goddess was testing us with the monsters."

Finally, the older female ascetic concluded, "Fortunately, the wisdom of the Goddess gives us the power to give up the military confrontation at the critical moment, otherwise it will inevitably deepen the misunderstanding."

Hao Ren then asked the Big Beardy curiously, "How did you eliminate the misunderstandings with the little green men then?"

The Big beardy answered solemnly, "I realized that I can’t beat those machines."

Hao Ren, "…"

"Master, you’re too honest," Nangong Wuyue could not help saying.

The Big Beardy nodded indifferently and said, "I just admit the truth. We have a mission, we have to live to protect the orb. In order to live, of course, we can do anything. Just surrender."

It was just some simple words from the Big beardy, but Hao Ren suddenly felt a kind of inexplicable fanaticism. He suddenly seemed to understand the view of the world of these ascetics.

They returned to the Petrachelys. The spacecraft soon took off and left the planet. Before speeding into the hyperspace state, Hao Ren turned the external monitor in the direction of the planet. The four ascetics saw that they were gradually moving away from the planet and looked at the huge spacecraft they were in and felt unbelievable. Big Beardy also remembered some of the things in the legend and said, "Before the end of the world, people in our world also had the ability to fly to the stars. It’s said that there were cities on the moon... But I feel that this ship is more powerful."

Hao Ren believed that the Big Beardy was praising him. He nodded contentedly and started the spacecraft's automatic navigation.

The image from the external monitor was distorted and the spacecraft had entered a hyperspace state.
