Chapter 1130: Secrets of Ancient Ruins

Rhode couldn’t reach a conclusion in the end. Of course, just as his younger sister had said, he could set the coordinates farther away from Earth, be it out of the solar system or Milky Way. Since the Dragon Soul Continent was unlike Earth, which needed suitable temperatures and various restrictions for humans to live, it had its personal sun and moon. Moreover, the dragon soul protection was much stronger than the ordinary atmosphere. Putting it frankly, even if Rhode transported the entire continent to around Pluto or million miles away, it wouldn’t matter to the continent even if it wasn’t suitable for human habitation as long as there weren’t any dark holes or supernova explosions. After all, the Dragon Soul Continent wasn’t created by ‘science’.

But just like what Rhode was worried about, the scientists on Earth simply loved sending strange things to explore space. The Dragon Soul Continent didn’t have the technology to dispatch satellites. If they were discovered by Earth, Earth would rashly send out forces to ‘research and investigate’ them. However, the Dragon Soul Continent wasn’t one to be trifled with! Even if they didn’t have the remarkable skills to build rockets that carried humans, the teleportation door would be enough to give them a hard time. Aside from that, formidable beings like the legendary generals, three archangels, and six deity wardens could soar in outer space effortlessly. Not only were they not mindful of the harsh space environment to the slightest degree, but they could also move quickly. Erin took around half a day’s time chasing the space shuttle and returning to the moon afterward. They wouldn’t need a long time if they were to travel through space and reach Earth. After they set up another teleportation door on Earth, only God knew what would happen.

It wasn’t impossible for them to have no contact with Earth at all. But Rhode wasn’t willing to do it. After all, what Bubble said made sense. They were used to enjoying their lives on Earth and the Dragon Soul Continent was indeed boring in comparison. As a matter of fact, Rhode and Canary had similar thoughts too. After all, the local civilization of the Dragon Soul Continent wasn’t really entertaining at all. If Rhode wasn’t kept busy with staying alive and building his forces and territory, perhaps he would have a hard time withstanding loneliness like Bubble and Canary.

Of course, the best way was to have both civilizations scratch each other’s back. But this way, Earth must definitely lower its head before them as both sides could only have friendly communications with strength on equal footing. Once one party was stronger than the other, it would be an entirely different matter. And now, the Dragon Soul Continent could easily destroy Earth, while the possibilities of Earth demolishing the Dragon Soul Continent was close to none. Even if the Dragon Soul Continent were able to maintain an aloof attitude, it didn’t mean Earth wouldn’t have their own opinions.

Seems like we have to get rid of Ion.

After pondering for a while, Rhode eventually made a decision that was as different as chalk and cheese.

In fact, this wasn’t too surprising either. Rhode definitely wouldn’t want to witness the Dragon Soul Continent clashing with Earth. On the other hand, Lilian was being taken care of by him. This little fella was peaceful in nature, so she wouldn’t meddle with his affairs as long as Earth didn’t drop a nuclear bomb on her. Meanwhile, Siena and Nalea weren’t interested in things happening outside their own country. They might be amused by Earth, but as long as Earth didn’t take things too far, they wouldn’t intervene.

Only Ion was different. Rhode didn’t know where Ion got his confidence and ambition. But based on the fact that Ion wasn’t willing to give up the weak Light Mainland, it was imaginable whether he would ‘take a long journey across the stars and ocean’ after witnessing the Earth that couldn’t resist his undead creatures a single bit.

Therefore, for the sake of peace between Earth and the Dragon Soul Continent, Rhode had to get rid of Ion before transmigrating the continent. After Erin took over as the new Dark Dragon, she would be much easier to work with than Ion with his strong desire to rule. Though Erin was eccentric at times, Rhode felt more assured with Erin exercising control over the undead creatures.

After we head back, I must come up with a way to kill the Dark Dragon without Erin noticing...

Only through this way, Rhode could lower the risks of the Dragon Soul Continent being invaded. With the high-end forces of the continent, it would be enough to make the greedy politicians of Earth back off. Of course, clashes might be inevitable between both civilizations, but that might happen only after a few centuries later.

Before Rhode had the time to consider deeper issues, he received news from Orchid Heart. Logically speaking, even though joint meetings usually required more than three to five days and there might also be closed-door meetings, efficiency was quick this time in the face of human destruction. Besides, it seemed like they had also given up the thought of struggling on their deathbed and fully cooperated. Shortly after, higher-ups from various countries who were worthy of knowing this matter learned about the main contents about the ‘Apocalyptic Gate’. Of course, the information was kept secret from the public. But how they uncovered the ruins in the first place, gained information from them, built bases on the moon, and what exactly it was used for was all revealed.

And now, various countries sent out archaeologists and scientists to explore these materials separately to find the so-called ‘calamity that destroyed humans’. After all, in order to avoid inadvertently putting all humanity to death, they put in a lot of effort this time after hearing Erin’s threat on mankind.

But what left Rhode with his hands tied was that the so-called key wasn’t found yet. According to the intelligence gathered by Orchid Heart, she had mainly found ordinary relics in the ruins and the black slate mentioned by him wasn’t found. However, there was another piece of news from her that lifted his spirits. According to original estimates, there should have been five such ancient ruins. Back then, the related party initially decided to excavate five ruins to search for any secrets. But thereafter, the five slates were dug up from the moon’s surface, while construction of moon bases required a lot of capital. As of now, that country couldn’t splurge like in the past and after excavating four ruins and realizing that their contents were similar, they focused their attention on these black slates. Correspondingly, the excavation of the last ruin also came to a halt.

After Erin wreaked havoc on the moon, everyone began focusing their attention on the ruins, which explained why various countries dispatched experts to conduct investigations. The excavation job on the fifth ruins that was stopped earlier was once again put back on the agenda. And now, Orchid Heart was here to ask Rhode if he wanted to join them for the excavation.

Without needing further explanations from her, Rhode reckoned that the fifth ruins was built by the Creator Dragons’ subjects who were sent to Earth. It seemed like they had intended to treat this place as a colony, but as for what exact trouble they faced afterward, why they abandoned this place, scattered the Door of Akasha, and retrieved and hid the key, it went to show that something was wrong.

“What’s the specific situation?”

After hearing the news from Orchid Heart, Rhode pondered grimly and asked. The young lady answered quickly.

“For safety, we will be sending out a joint experts investigation team, with the intention of conducting an investigation on the fifth ruins. They will set off in a few days.” Orchid Heart spoke casually.

After hearing her response Rhode thought about it and said, “... so then, there shouldn’t be any issues for us to join the investigation team, right?”

“All of you?”

Upon hearing his answer, Orchid Heart widened her eyes in doubt, before restoring her half-asleep look.

“It isn’t impossible, but it is somewhat difficult. Besides... This investigation team is formed by various countries... There should be no problems if two or three of you were to join them. But any more than that...”

Even though Orchid Heart didn’t complete her sentence, Rhode understood her hesitation. After all, Rhode’s group was too young and mostly females who didn’t seem like scholars, researchers, or militants. This investigation team involved a human crisis and wasn’t formed for an outing. It was surely impossible for his group to not stand out like a sore thumb and gather suspicions.

“I honestly suspect something terrible may happen in those ruins. I suppose I can guess some of the origins of those ruins. Logically, they shouldn’t be what they are now, so I reckon the people who built the ruins must have met with some mishaps, just like how we faced the shadowy creatures on the moon. For the sake of safety, I think it’s best for all of us to join them. I’m sure you’re aware of the consequences of newbies heading into a high-level dungeon, Senior Heart. Even with veterans leading the team, they face a high risk of being killed.”

“...”

Orchid Heart revealed a dignified expression. She was apparently present to observe the fight between Rhode and the shadowy creatures. If it was just like what he mentioned and such creatures existed on Earth, there would be huge troubles ahead. Due to this reason, she lifted her head after a short period of consideration and nodded slightly.

“Alright, I will try.”
