Actually, the moment the gate to the anomalous space suddenly closed, Hao Ren knew that his luck had run out—and what happened afterward proved him right: when he returned to Kuiper Station and activated the powerful scanning equipment again, the Solar System was utterly quiet.
The resonance signal from Gungnir had sunk like a stone into the sea. Its reflected resonance waves could no longer be detected anywhere within the Solar System.
In the laboratory at Kuiper Station, Hao Ren watched as the Gungnir fragment slowly descended from the platform. The surrounding equipment stopped operating amid a gradually fading hum. After checking all the data, the Data Terminal announced that the anomalous space had left the star system.
"We detected slight spatial distortions at the edge of the Oort Cloud. They should be traces left behind by Yggdrasil when it departed, but those traces vanished after it left the Solar System. Its transfer speed was too fast, and Kuiper Station's monitoring system had no means of tracking it. We lost it."
"The entire 'Nine Kingdoms'... just ran away like that?" Even now, Hao Ren still found the whole thing unreal. An anomalous spatial structure of such immense scale had actually escaped the Solar System in just a few seconds. The power required was unimaginable. "Did you get any other tracking results?"
"Some scattered data of no significance. None of it was useful." The Data Terminal's voice also sounded regretful. "The only thing we can confirm at present is that this 'transfer process' was deliberate. When leaving the Solar System, it deliberately avoided interference from massive celestial bodies and erased all traces beyond the Oort Cloud. Based on the scene we observed inside the anomalous space, we can conclude that this was Yggdrasil's own doing. Yggdrasil is also very likely a
