Hearing what Hao Ren's words, almost everyone at the scene threw him a "you're-f*cking-kidding-me" look. Vivian stepped on Hao Ren's foot under the table and said, "Do you think this is going to work?"

Nangong Wuyue scratched her chin, looking serious. "The goddess is just neurotic, she's not stupid."

After getting to know Raven 12345 for some time, it seemed that everyone had accepted her neurotic tendencies. It was the same for Nangong Wuyue, who had finally become less prudish.

Hao Ren guffawed. "Do you think you guys know her better than I do? She couldn't be happier if there's someone to take advantage of the loophole on her behalf. After all, so many Aerymian elves have moved there, adding a couple hundred thousand more won't make much of a difference. Peatopia is so, big but sparsely populated; it's facing labor shortage right now. But, I have to discuss this with Hilda first. After all, that place has now been leased to them."

Hao Ren had made up his mind to move Y'zaks' entire city to Peatopia. After the war, the demon army was exhausted, and their morale had basically been worn out. Most people in the city were hoping to live a peaceful life.

Something crossed Lily's mind at this moment. She looked up at Y'zaks and asked, "You guys have no problem living in Peatopia?"

"The environment is similar to that of the human world here." Y'zaks nodded. "Demons don't necessarily have to live in environments with high heat. In fact, most of the demons are capable of staying in the human world, although we like the smell of sulfur in the Demonic Plane."

Y'zaks was very grateful to Hao Ren as he said that. "Now we, the whole country are indebted to you. I really don't know how to repay your kindness."

Hao Ren quickly waved at him and said, "Please don't say that—we're one family after all."

Just when his voice trailed off, Lily pinched her nose, imitating Hao Ren's tone of voice. "Since the day I saw your daughter, you and I were destined to be brothers... Ouch! Don't pinch my ears! Don't pull my tail! Don't knock my head..."

Lily must have eaten something wrong; although the maiden was dumb, she had never been so sleazy—until now. Was she going to be on heat soon?

He left Lily to Vivian for education. Meanwhile, the call to Raven 12345 was connected. Instead of the usual voice on the other end, a powerful hymn-like music sounded. Hao Ren froze for a moment, thinking he had accidentally dialed Jesus' number. Just when he was about to hang up, he heard Raven 12345 yelling on the other end. "Hello? Who's that? Hao Ren?"

"What's all the music about?"

Raven 12345 sounded like she was in a good mood. Every word she uttered seemed to be a quarter of a note higher. "It's a ring tone! I've studied it for several days and I finally installed a new ring tone for the prayer system. Everyone can hear it now, whether it's staff calling or believers praying."

"If you have so much free time, why don't you help solve some practical problems? You should have diverted all that effort in downloading a ring tone for the heaven hotline to studying world peace!"

"That would be a little too difficult—My colleague and I have been at odds with each other," Raven 12345 did not mince her words. "Well, how's everything going?"

"I've found them," Hao Ren collected his thoughts. "However, there are more people than expected. So, I'm asking if they can come along?"

Raven 12345 asked, "How many more?"

Hao Ren cautiously gave a number. "Not much, about five to six hundred thousand only."

Raven 12345 was silent for a moment. Then she said, "Oh, well then, please stay where you are. I'm going to give you a blessing."

Hao Ren quickly jumped to the side before a cracking thunderbolt appeared out of thin air and struck where he stood earlier. Cold sweat trickled down his back. "Hey, calm down. I'm not finished yet. Well, first of all, we've shipped so many Aerymian elves before and there haven't been any problems; secondly... I've discovered something else, which is far more significant than those few hundred thousand individuals."

Hao Ren told the psychopath about the alien spaceship wreckage he had found and the world-traveling 'First Born'. Raven 12345 was unusually quiet, which was something he totally did not expect.

"Great job!" Finally, a delighted voice was heard from the other end. "You have not disappointed me. I knew it, you're a born bad hat! Things happen wherever you go!"

Hao Ren immediately felt a hidden meaning behind her words. His stomach churned. "Wait a second, what are you talking about?A born bad hat? What do you know?"

There was a good reason to be nervous; after all, she was a goddess. He had to take her word seriously. If someone else had said it, he would have just shrugged it off. But here, it came from the goddess... There had to be more to what she said. He had to quickly find out what she meant.

As though Raven 12345 could see Hao Ren's face, she said, "Worry not, I'm just saying it colloquially. If you feel uncomfortable, I'll say it artfully: you are a bearer of karma, you're destined to experience things that are hardly imaginable to ordinary people. Even if the world falls apart, well, I can assure you that you'll be resurrected if you die. So, don't be worried."

Hao Ren was none the wiser after listening to what she just said. His conclusion was, the term "bearer of karma" in novels probably meant "bad hat" when used colloquially.

After Hao Ren was silent for a long moment, Raven 12345 quickly tried to divert his attention. "Okay, okay, let's discuss about it only when the world falls apart. Meanwhile, I'm really happy that you've finally found something really incredible... That spaceship must be brought back immediately. As it has experienced the moment of collision of two worlds, where the process is similar to the collision between the Plane of Dreams and the Surface World, the spaceship is of great reference value."

Hao Ren smiled wryly and said, "There are still 550,000 people... since Helcrown isn't as big as the spaceship, why don't you take it as a gift?"

Raven 12345 was amused. "Now you're lazy to even think of a proper excuse, eh? Well, anyway, it's not a big deal. Their level of civilization hasn't even reached the stage of space colonization yet, so I can approve it. I will open up a temporary World Gate. You just have to send me the coordinates by then."

As the communication ended, a satisfied Hao Ren looked up at Y'zaks, who was already in anticipation. "Permission is granted. You can pack the entire city as well as the spaceship and move. You can now inform the entire city. Let your people know what's going to happen next. To leave or to stay, let them decide for themselves."

Y'lisabet blinked and looked around, pulling on Hao Ren's sleeve as she asked, "Uncle Ren, you really can move the whole city?"

Hao Ren froze for a moment and his mouth twitched. "It's Uncle Hao..."

Very quickly, Y'zaks instructed his men to announce the imminent migration as succinctly as possible. This included the antecedents and consequences of the migration, as well as the new environment. Meanwhile, Hao Ren sent the MDT out to the area nearby the wreckage to collect the environmental readings to determine the location of the World Gate's opening.

Y'zaks and Hao Ren could breath a sigh of relief as instructions had been issued and carried out. Of course, compared to Y'zaks, the burden Hao Ren carried was far less heavy. The demon king leaned on his huge throne and watched as Lil Pea played with Y'lisabet. His eyes were filled with emotion. "At long last, this child will be able to live a peaceful life..."

"What's your opinion about this space?" Hao Ren asked as he looked at Y'zaks.

Y'zaks knew Hao Ren was reffering to the origin of the space bubble zone. He replied with a smile, "As I've said before, the old man predicted the existence of such a space when he was still alive. Although he died without finding the way to access this dimension, he calculated that the entire bubble zone would be distorted abnormally just as it is today. There is a central point in this 'distortion' that is the Spectral Dimension. He was a fantastic guy. Though bound by the earth's gravity, he managed to calculate the secrets of the entire universe. How would things be if he was still alive today... I could let him visit your spacecraft; the old boy would surely jump for joy.

With a forced smile, Y'zaks said, "But destiny is a b*tch, tsk tsk."

Suddenly, Zadamor pushed the door open as he reported in. "My King, General Lamadenor and some of his trusted men have disappeared."

Y'zaks was silent for a moment before he nodded slightly. "I got it."

"My King, this is mutiny," Zadamor said, his face looking solemn. "You—"

"I let him." Y'zaks nodded. "Send my word: everyone is free to go. Zadamor, you're also a demon. You should understand that it's not easy to change a demon's thinking. The place we're going has no place for them. Let them leave."

Then, he grinned. "In fact, when I first returned, I already knew things would develop as such. I knew what they were thinking and doing for the past one year while they were in the city. If I were to come back a year or two later, I'm afraid things would be very different... As for now, their departure is good for everyone, so let them be."

Zadamor bowed his head as he took a step back. "Yes, understood."

Hao Ren noticed that Y'zaks' face looked a little sad. Just as he was about to say something, the voice of the MDT suddenly sounded in his mind. "The dimensional calculation is complete. I have bad news and worse news, which one do you want to hear first?"
