From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

The Samsara Garden happily circled around Si Ye, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

Although they have not yet eaten the four most nutritious warp vendors, sharing the Infinite Echo Cresson has indeed slightly enhanced their strength. This is a gain that they may not be able to obtain even if they sign contracts with people in the virtual world hundreds or thousands of times.

"This is your reward."

Samsara Garden wanted to transfer his power to Si Ye through the contract, but the width of the temporary roadbed gate built on the ice field outside was too small. Even the overload line melting pipeline could not carry more power for them.

"...Ah, it seems this reward can only be given to you, the contractor, after you return home."

"Then let's talk about it after I get back. For safety reasons, you can retreat first."

The Terra continent's originally relatively stable subspace was constantly turbulent due to the activeness of the evil gods in the virtual realm. In order to avoid problems in other subspaces on the Terra continent, Si Ye had to let the evil gods' consciousness leave first.

It was a rare opportunity to have a bite of food, so the evil gods naturally had no objections. They transferred their power through the contract with Si Ye, then withdrew their consciousness and disappeared into the subspace.

"A bit full... Damn..."

Holding his stomach, Si Ye stood in front of the black curtain leading out of the star gate, his expression a little stiff.

After all, he was still just a human, not a true warp creature. The mass of Cresson, a pure warp entity, made it extremely difficult for Si Ye to digest. A strange feeling of fullness lingered in his mind.

“I’m back… poof!”

As soon as Si Ye walked out of the star gate, he was hit in the stomach by a pair of silver-glowing deer antlers. The huge impact force almost sent him back into the star gate.

"Evil spirit, don't even think about it..."

Anma's voice stopped abruptly, and the man and the deer just stared at each other in an awkward situation.

"What are you doing? I just eliminated the evil demon and the threat to the ice field, and you're still using your horns to butt me. Are you trying to repay kindness with enmity?"

Si Ye pushed Anma away unhappily and rubbed his abdomen, which felt even more uncomfortable.

His sight swept across the ice field that was gradually returning to normal. Magellan was waving excitedly on the hill. Some tribes' snow priests also noticed the disappearance of the evil demon and rushed over. Among the layers of mountains obscured by fog, Si Ye saw a pair of bright silver eyes that were slightly opened.

"Thank you for your help. Now I can finally have a good rest."

An ancient voice rang out in Si Ye's heart. The source of the voice was undoubtedly the ancestral father who had protected Sami for countless years.

"Rest. I promise that when you wake up, Sammy will still be there."

Si Ye's words were filled with respect for the giant beast, the Ancestral Father, who risked his life to fight against the evil spirits. He promised it that he would continue Sami's existence.

"Really? Thank you so much..."

The voice echoing in his mind became softer and softer, and the giant Sami, who had been dragging his seriously injured body to fight against the evil spirits, could finally fall into a deep sleep.

"Um... I didn't attack you intentionally. It's just that the demonic aura you exuded was too strong, which led me to misjudge. However, I won't deny my mistake. If you want to punish me, or if there's anything you need me to do, feel free to ask."

The conversation between Si Ye and the father of the ancestral spirits lasted only a moment. An Ma, aware that she had done something wrong, lowered her head and rubbed Si Ye's trouser leg, her apology attitude extremely sincere.

This made Si Ye sigh. Compared with those increasingly abstract beast masters on the continent, the Deer Master Anma was simply the light among the beast masters.

However, Si Ye did have something for Anma to do.

"In that case, the task of unifying and managing the Sami tribes will be left to you."

There are many Sami tribes with huge differences in cultural customs. Although they can unite in fighting against evil spirits, some differences in habits and culture still lead to conflicts among these tribes in daily life.

If Si Ye were to manage it, it would definitely take a lot of time and effort to conquer each tribe one by one, and he might even have to fight them one by one. It's really troublesome just thinking about it.

But it is different for the beast master Anma. As the ancestor worshipped by the Sami tribe, it has extremely high prestige. It is easy for it to unify the Sami tribe and prevent them from causing trouble.

More importantly, the considerate Anma just made a small mistake and voluntarily obeyed Si Ye's orders.

"Integration and management...Are you planning to take over the Sami Icefield?"

Anma's expression was very strange.

The environment of the Sami Ice Field is far more barren than that of the Ursus Tundra. If it were not for the blessing of the Sami, the tribes here would have difficulty in even making ends meet, let alone fighting against the evil spirits. Columbia also has a trade enclave in Sami, but its profitability is terrible.

"It is like this, Beast Master. You don't want the tribes that worship and offer sacrifices to you to remain backward and poor, do you?"

Si Yedongli's rude words made Anma's body crawl. She quickly shook her head and said:

"I'll help you, but can you please stop saying such weird things? It's too weird."

...

Chapter 369 Star Gate Collapse

With Anma's assistance, and with many tribal members witnessing Si Ye emerging from the star gate, the snow sacrifice organized by various tribes went very smoothly.

After Si Ye held Magellan's head with one hand to stop her from asking a hundred thousand questions, he made important instructions on the future fate of the Sami Ice Field in front of a group of tribal snow priests and hunters.

"Hiccup~~~~~"

A long burp, even with a hint of black air, made Xue Si exclaim in surprise.

Although these Sami tribesmen have heard that some people can eat evil spirits raw, most of them do not believe it. Eating contaminated flesh and blood will only cause the eater to be contaminated. Even the ancestor Anma cannot do it, so how can anyone else do it?

But this burp filled with the smell of demonic collapse could not be faked, forcing these snow priests to face the facts. After accepting this fact, they looked at Si Ye, who could give birth to demons, with even more respect.

"Hmm, that feels good. From now on, I can't eat these things by recovering my physical body... I still have to digest them with my psychic body..."

Si Ye stroked his abdomen, which felt a little more comfortable, and muttered to himself, looking at Xue Si in front of him who was extremely respectful to him. Although he didn't know what had happened, this was exactly the effect he wanted.

"Ahem, I've dealt with the evil demon on the ice field. This star gate will no longer pose a threat to Sammy..."

There was no need to beat around the bush when talking to these tribesmen. Si Ye pointed to the star gate that stretched between heaven and earth behind him. Just as he was about to speak his mind, he heard a series of continuous loud noises.

boom!

Perhaps the long passage of time finally destroyed the delicate balance of the Star Gate, or perhaps the evil god of the Void Realm caused damage by his disorderly behavior in the subspace within the Star Gate, and some not-so-pleasant effects finally appeared.

Falling from space, the stargate that had stood on the Terra continent for thousands of years first seemed to have poor contact. The curtain leading to the subspace on the surface suddenly closed after flickering several times. The ring structure that should have been extremely solid began to collapse in an instant, as if it had experienced the erosion of a long time.

The shattered and fallen structures even affected the boundary gate area, which was still under preparation for expansion. A large number of broken alloy structures collided with the boundary gate's shield. The huge weight caused the shield to have overload white spots and noise.

"what?"

"Wowoooooooooooooooooo!!!!"

Compared to Si Ye's confused expression, the Sami people's emotions were simpler. They didn't understand the true function of the star gate and only regarded it as a terrible thing that caused disasters. Now that it collapsed with a casual finger of Si Ye, they immediately burst into huge cheers that exceeded the sound of the star gate collapsing.

Although the Sami people looked at them with more fanatical respect, the collapse of the star gate had a real impact on the construction of the boundary gate.

In this regard, Si Ye had no time to give a speech to the Sami people. He pulled Anma, who was watching the show, over and used his usual tried-and-tested routine.

"This is a batch of daily necessities. You can distribute them to them as rewards for their battle. Tell them that I will send people to improve the overall living standards of the Sami people later."

Under the confused gaze of Deer Lord Anma, it was pushed onto a small stone hill, facing the Sami tribe members who were cheering loudly for the collapse of the star gate.

Several cargo holds loaded with supplies fell to the ground. Food, medicine, and even cloth were all in short supply for the Sami. If Anma, the ancestor, had not been present, these tribes who followed the oldest and most primitive traditions of the Sami might have immediately launched a Rakshir ceremony for these supplies.

"What the hell...why did that giant structure suddenly collapse?"

Si Ye dispersed the icy dust caused by the collapse of the star gate and transferred the structural fragments pressing on the boundary gate shield to another place. The autonomous machine responsible for analyzing data and managing the construction process of the boundary gate was conscripted by Si Ye to scan the cause of the star gate collapse.

"According to the scan results... this structure functions like a stargate, capable of opening a space curtain. Just now, the curtain's stability failed, and it collapsed. The abnormal backflow of energy maintaining the curtain caused irreversible damage to the structure, ultimately leading to its collapse..."

Dozens of autonomous machines quickly scanned the collapsed star gate several times and gave a reply.

"...You destroyed my End of the World industry. Who's going to repair it for me?"

The collapse of the star gate was actually not a big deal to Si Ye, but in the original plot, this was the only way for Terra to reach Tarkov II. As a member of the Pan-Human Community, Si Ye felt that he needed to inform the Doctor.

"Hmm? Nighthawk... I've uploaded the blueprints for the power reactor core structure. Could you please produce it? I'm at the Tremont shipyard renovating the Rhodes Island. What went wrong?"

The communication was quickly connected, and the voices of the doctor and the engineering synths discussing the construction of a new power reactor came through.

"I've reached the far north, on this icy plain where the Star Gate is located. The demonic problem in the north has been resolved, but there's just one minor issue that I need to inform you about."

"Is there something wrong with the Star Gate?"

Anything that could involve him could undoubtedly only be something related to the previous civilization. The doctor immediately guessed what the little problem Si Ye was talking about was.

"Yes, the star gate collapsed and broke into... pieces all over the ground."

Si Ye found it difficult to describe the current situation of the star gate. The irreversible damage caused by the energy backflow had precisely destroyed all the structures of the star gate. Those relatively large pieces of structural debris would shatter into metal fragments of unusually uniform sizes on the ground with just a slight touch, making it completely unnecessary to rescue the star gate.

"...Well, it doesn't really matter... Terra is in such a state here, and Saturn II is probably a mess as well. We might as well focus on developing the planet Gaia you gave us."

The doctor's tone was quite casual. Although there were some lost technologies of previous civilizations on Saturn II, as long as people were still alive, it was only a matter of time before the technology was restored.

What's more, if the former civilization can be successfully revived, then the former civilization that masters the singularity technology will undoubtedly become the second only to the Star Empire in the pan-human community. At that time, it will not be a problem to return to Tower of Saturn II.

If the former civilization cannot be revived in the end, the doctor has already prepared for the former civilization to be completely incorporated into the Star Empire. If that is the case, it doesn't matter whether he returns to Tower of Saturn II or not.

"...Are you sure? I'm going to build a land-based boundary gate here, and these star gate fragments are blocking the way. If you don't mind, I can use the machine to recycle them."

"Hmm... Let's recycle it. But please keep an eye out for me. There should be a module sealed in a self-consistent space within the stargate structure. That's the stargate's data storage device. If it's not contaminated by evil spirits, please bring it back."

"Okay, I'll let the autonomous machine pay attention to it."

After the communication was disconnected, Si Ye raised his chin towards the mountain of Stargate debris. The autonomous machines that received the order immediately cooperated with the nanorobots to start the recovery work.

...

Chapter 370 Muir Seth's Overloaded Brain

Thanks to the hard work of the nanomachines, the star gate ruins were cleared extremely quickly.

And because of the unplanned resource replenishment, the fortress originally planned to protect the boundary gate was expanded by Si Ye, and a small trading town was also added to the construction drawings.

"Your Majesty, Miss Muirseth has requested permission to use the channel bandwidth several times. Do you agree?"

Because Siye sent out a combat signal when activating the small boundary gate, the already limited bandwidth of the land-based boundary gate was naturally marked as military use and given priority supply.

Naturally, Muirseth's status as a level 3 researcher prevented her from applying for this bandwidth. Only now, after the battle was over, did her bandwidth application pass the review and be submitted to Si Ye.

"Oh, switch this small gate tag to normal use, and notify Nian and Shu, telling them they can come over."

Si Ye was reluctant to part with the small manifold in his pocket. This exquisite little gadget always made him subconsciously want to hold it in his hand and play with it, but unfortunately he had promised Muirseth before, so he could only agree to the other party's bandwidth request.

"Magellan!"

"Hey, I'm here. What's up, boss?"

The little penguin who had reincarnated into a spirit with a hundred thousand questions heard Si Ye's cry and stopped asking about the story of Typhon Glacier and tribal customs.
