Chapter 1374 Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Land

Chapter 1398 An Encounter on Foreign Soil

Almost the instant the hundred-person tour group arrived at the Holletta ecosystem, the drone swarm scanned a burst of divine energy in deep space. The timing of this oscillation was so perfect, so precisely on cue, that Hao Ren couldn't help but wonder if it was real—but tens of thousands of listening posts trained on deep space couldn't all be wrong at the same time. The divine power oscillation was measured by multiple stations simultaneously, and its authenticity was beyond doubt.

"The oscillation point is very close to the listening stations of the drone swarm. A batch of drones has already gone to check the situation, but according to the remote sensing signal feedback, there shouldn't be anything worth noting there, just an ordinary star," the swarm's collective consciousness reported to Hao Ren. "Also, since just now, we have been continuously receiving various signals from deep space—most of them are indistinguishable, but they all have a certain degree of coherence with the divine power oscillation."

"That should be the 'aftershocks' after the fall of the Goddess of Creation," Hao Ren had already considered this. "We have been exploring the existence form of these aftershocks for a long time, and now we have finally actively stimulated it in this way. It can be considered as truly observing its existence in the cosmic background."

"What are the next instructions?"

"Continue to monitor. Every oscillation source with an intensity level exceeding D-level must have a drone go to conduct an on-site survey, even if there is nothing there. A beacon must be established, and I need you to draw a 'map' to mark all the areas that react."

The towering figure of the Petrified Rock Turtle gradually approached the ground. On the small hill, the Holletta Kingdom's welcoming team had lined up in neat rows, looking up at the incredible steel chariot descending from the sky: this was an extremely special "visit." The rulers and religious leaders of the kingdom had spent a lot of time discussing how to arrange this event. They were even complaining about why the "foreigners who saved the world" could always come up with such unprecedented problems that left everyone at a loss, but in the end, they still decided on a conservative event procedure to cooperate with the "plan" Hao Ren had given them.

They ultimately decided not to publicize the event widely, because they couldn't make the public understand the complex and profound historical background of this "overseas wanderer" who came across time and space in a short period of time, but they still had to do enough in terms of necessary etiquette and pomp. At the very least, next to this "landing field," they had lined up the most important kingdom marshals and several important diplomatic officials.

The spaceship finally landed silently on the ground. The huge metal body, which looked incredibly heavy, stopped like a weightless phantom. A side hatch opened, and the still somewhat bewildered Earth aliens stepped onto the land of an alien planet for the first time in their lives.

Well, for a few of them, this wasn't their first experience.

Ofra saw a large group of oddly dressed people walk out of the spaceship—they were wearing flashy clothes that would never be seen anywhere in Holletta, wearing strange-style accessories, and sporting hairstyles that only foreigners would have. They looked just like confused colonial sailors who had strayed to the New World and been "driven" down the light ladder. She remembered that the famous explorer Deconek had described the image of such a group of people in his book *The New World*: "They came down from the ship in rows, the back row pushing the front row. After stepping on this strange land, they began to look around in confusion. Although most of them were influential figures, they still couldn't help but be dazzled by the scenery of the New World..."

These people in front of her seemed to be just like that.

Those people clearly noticed the welcoming team on the highlands. They seemed a little surprised, and then they began to talk and discuss among themselves in low voices. Ofra noticed that those oddly dressed people who came down from the spaceship were obviously divided into many small groups. The small groups maintained an imperceptible distance between each other, and they only talked happily within the group. She also noticed that those people should all be figures with status and status. Although being in the New World for the first time made them look a little at a loss, as a knowledgeable Ancient, Ofra could still feel a different aura from those people.

"So, those are our compatriots who were stranded in another world..." After forming a general first impression of this group of "visitors," the kingdom's female marshal muttered to herself.

Hao Ren was the first to come out of the spaceship, and he always brought his friends and dozens of Erem Royal Guards to maintain order in the team. At this time, he had come to the front of Ofra and other welcomers, and smiled: "Finally brought them all here. How do you feel when you see these compatriots for the first time?"

"It's a little different from what I imagined," Ofra smiled slightly, and then turned to the "tourist team" that looked a little strange, "Everyone, welcome to Holletta—you have set foot on the land of your homeland."

Hao Ren added next to him: "It is the homeland of some of you."

Jean Lucas and several of his vampire friends looked at each other. They lowered their heads and looked at the ground beneath their feet, as if they were sinking in a somewhat unreal dream.

At this moment, a strong old man standing behind Ofra suddenly stepped out of the crowd and came to a group of Earth aliens. The old man's eyes flashed with bestial light, and his nose twitched slightly: "Descendants of the Aiben family?! Where are the descendants of the Aiben family?! Are you two descendants of the Aiben family?!"

In the Earth aliens' team, two men stood out with a trace of confusion. One was tall and strong, and the other was slightly thin, but what they had in common was the almost undisguised wild aura all over their bodies. From just now, an unspeakable impulse had been beating in their blood vessels, making them almost unable to suppress a trace of the werewolf bloodline belonging to themselves.

Kasa Aiben, Yuun Aiben, the two outstanding heirs of the Aiben werewolf family on Earth, arrived in such a strange world after experiencing this journey across time and space, but they were surprised to see an old man with the same aura as them.

An old werewolf.

"I said, I would let you see the bloodline that the Aiben family has continued," Hao Ren nodded to the old werewolf and said calmly.

This old werewolf, who had fought alongside Marshal Ofra for many years and had been fighting alongside the warriors of the kingdom since his mercenary days, trembled all over, as if he had never thought that this wish would be realized so suddenly. He stood there for a while, then suddenly turned to Hao Ren and lowered his head deeply.

"This world already owes you a life, and now, I personally owe you one too."

"This is..." Kasa Aiben didn't seem to understand the situation, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"This is your compatriot who stayed in the Dream Plane, the last remaining Aiben werewolf on this planet, in the entire Holletta," Hao Ren said slowly. He believed that his voice was enough for everyone present to hear clearly, "He has been searching for the surviving descendants of the Aiben family in this world, but he didn't meet you until today."

"Aiben werewolf..." Kasa Aiben muttered to himself. The unreal feeling when he first set foot on this land suddenly collapsed, because a bloodline connection destroyed all doubts and superficiality. He truly saw it—a werewolf flowing with the same blood as himself was standing in front of him, in this foreign country separated by endless time and space, on this land he had never set foot on, there was another Aiben werewolf living.

This was irrefutable evidence.

"That's great... the family's bloodline has not been cut off. The Aiben family has declined in this world, but it is still continuing in another world," the old werewolf Elsen Aiben sighed, "Young man, how is the Aiben family doing in your world? Are we prosperous? Are the newborn descendants still as brave and upright as their ancestors? Upholding loyalty and righteousness?"

Kasa Aiben opened his mouth, thinking of the end of the mythological era and the family's decline in recent centuries, but in the end he nodded: at least one thing could make the old werewolf in front of him feel comforted, that is, the Aiben family did exist. Compared with those families that had disappeared in history, this werewolf family was extremely lucky.

Behind them, the fellow Earth aliens had different feelings. The Aiben brothers' matter seemed to have aroused their resonance, and their sense of estrangement and distrust towards this strange world was also reduced a lot at once. The vampires began to talk in low voices about the possibility of finding their family ancestors here, the werewolves expressed their envy for the Aiben family, the rune dwarves discussed whether they could find their family's lost enchanting technology in this world, and the sirens took out their mobile phones and SLR cameras one after another, continuing to click, click, click...

Hao Ren saw the group of sirens at the back of the team at a glance. They were young and beautiful, carrying bags and cameras. Except for the snake tails on their lower bodies, they looked like female college student tour groups just squeezed out of a tourist bus. They had been taking pictures since they got on the spaceship, and they were still taking pictures at this time. Moreover, it was estimated that they would start dragging Ofra and the group of royal knights to take group photos soon. Next, they would visit the ancient capital city, buy ethnic handicrafts, sweep through the gourmet street, and sweep through the major local specialty stores in the capital, just waiting to post on Weibo when they returned to the spaceship with Wi-Fi. Ah, every Earth alien family had formulated a detailed plan when sending representatives. The sirens were the same, except that the plan of this group of sirens was really a travel plan...

These happy deep-sea saltwater fish, you.
