Almost the instant the hundred-person tour group arrived in the Horleta ecosystem, the drone swarm detected a divine power fluctuation in the depths of space. The disturbance had appeared at such a perfectly opportune moment—so perfect that Hao Ren couldn't help wondering whether it was real. But the thousands upon thousands of monitoring stations watching the depths of space couldn't all have made the same mistake at the same time. The divine power fluctuation had been measured simultaneously by multiple stations, and its authenticity was beyond doubt.
"The fluctuation point is very close to the swarm's monitoring station. A batch of drones has already gone over to investigate, but according to the remote-sensing feedback, there shouldn't be anything worth noting there—just an ordinary star," the drone swarm's collective consciousness reported to Hao Ren. "Also, since a moment ago, we've been continuously receiving all kinds of signals from the depths of space. Most of them can't be identified, but they all have a certain degree of compatibility with the divine power fluctuation."
"That should be the 'Echoes' left behind after the Creation Goddess fell," Hao Ren said. He had already had some ideas about it. "We've spent a long time exploring the form in which these Echoes exist. Now that we've finally triggered them in this manner, we've truly observed their existence against the backdrop of the universe."

"Continue monitoring. Any fluctuation source above Grade D must be investigated in person by a drone. Even if there's nothing there, establish a beacon. I need you to draw up a 'map' marking every region that produces a reaction."
The imposing form of Giant Turtle Rock Platform gradually descended toward the ground. On a hill, the welcoming party representing the Kingdom of Horleta had already
