100.
Continents
“Since we still have some time left, I’ll fly nearer to the ground to let you see the overall scenery of the planet Tuengra. You can speak while we are flying, and I will practise flying and talking at the same time and get accustomed to it,” Hepf said.
“That’s great! I’d like to see every aspect of this world,” I replied.
Hepf nodded and guided the spaceship down to get nearer to the ground, hovering just above the height of the trees. Our ship flew horizontally at a reduced speed of around 200 kilometers per hour, moving steadily across different landscapes like forests, mountains, fields, lakes and cities.
The landscapes reminded me of scenes in fantasy movies, and the dense forests and sprawling cities in fairy tales. Everything here was so beautiful and picturesque that it seemed almost unreal. All the trees, flowers and animals were in vivid colours, and the sky was so bright and the soil so rich that I didn’t see any dry and barren areas.
“Hepf, when we were flying at high speed, I noticed that your world seems to only consist of two large continents, is that true?” I asked.
“Yes,” Hepf confirmed my impression, “we only have two continents. Since the beginning, our world, has been divided into two continents. When people in this part go to sleep, those in the other part wake up.”
“Originally, your world used to be the same, but there have been several modifications to the physical structures, and each time new plans had to be made to ensure its survival. Now, your world has five continents that encompass the livable areas, which are Australia, East Asia, Central Asia, Europe and Africa, and North and South America. We divided the habitable zones vertically, almost perpendicular to the equator, with a slight twenty-three-degree tilt to one side, parallel to the Earth pole. In the coming era of the new energy field, your world will have six continents in order to accelerate the transmission of positive energy to the Earth’s core. That way, we expect to achieve a better balance than before,” Hepf explained.
“Six continents … so, you mean that there will be an additional new continent?” I asked.
“Correct,” he confirmed, “Not only one, but two will rise, which are the Pacific continent and the Atlantic continent. One old continent, North America, will disappear. The Atlantic Ocean, or the old Atlantis, will swallow a part of South America. Actually, to call Atlantis a new continent isn’t quite correct because it already existed in the past. It had only sunk and rested under the ocean for almost 10,000 years. The real new continent should be called the Pacific, named after the area of the present Pacific Ocean. But its new name will be chosen by the people living in the next era.”
“So North America will disappear?” I asked incredulously.
“Well, not completely, since some parts of it will remain. They will become small islands in the ocean, but they won’t be considered a highly populated area.”
“How accurate is your information? I mean, that’s a huge change,” I asked.
“Let’s wait and see what happens to the plan, unless, of course, He changes the plan.”
Hepf continued to tour me around so that I could admire the scenery, until the time for us to leave was approaching.
“I think it’s almost time for portal 16 to open. We should get there now,” Hepf informed me.
Our spaceship rose higher and immediately accelerated to its maximum speed. In less than five seconds, we had arrived at the top of an enormous pyramid. Apart from ours, I saw dozens of other spaceships already hovering over the pyramid.
“Who are they? Don’t tell me that they are all traveling to my world as well!” I exclaimed.
“Yes, they are. They have come from all other parts of Tuengra, and we all have the same mission to work in your world,” Hepf replied.
“Overall, 148 spaceships are going to pass through this portal today. They come from 39 cities. And of the 148 pilots, only two of them are semi-energetic beings like Master Ruthorn. The others are freshly trained pilots. Also, this will be the last trip as we’ve already activated all available resources from our world. We had to mobilise all the forces that we have for this mission, so now there are no more pilots left on Tuengra, except for Master Ruthorn,” he concluded. “We have pooled all available resources and manpower solely for this mission.”
“That sounds like drafting soldiers into an army,” I commented.
“Right, I think so, too. This is the first time for me to be assigned to a mission like this, but according to Master Ruthorn’s plan, we’re going to operate far below the Earth’s crust. Similar operations have already been executed three times in the past: once in the era of the giant animals that you call dinosaurs, then at the time of the first human civilisation, and the last time in the era of Atlantis.”
While Hepf was trying to disperse my doubts, I noticed that more and more spaceships were gathering above the pyramid. From only a few dozen at the beginning, the number had jumped to around 100 now. Their sudden appearance surprised me as they had arrived almost all at once, as if they had been conjured up by magic.
The scene in front of me was very impressive, the large assembly of spaceships looked like a group of warriors primed for action. I guessed that the spaceships waiting for the journey to begin had to be from different groups. They lined up orderly in long rows, with some groups arranged in the shape of a V, while others formed the shape of an O, and it seemed like they were deliberately making a symbol.
“Yes, that’s right, they are forming symbols to show where they are from,” Hepf replied, having read my thoughts.
“The ships are the pride of each city that has contributed to this mission, so they are indicating their city of origin to everyone, especially to you, the most important person in this moment. The most remarkable ships are those grouped in the V-shape, that come from the city of Theep, and the larger O-shape group of ships that come from the city of Sypria.”
“And what’s the name of the city that we came from?” I asked.
“It’s called Oslempa. Sorry that I didn’t mention that before,” Hepf replied apologetically.
“That sounds a bit like the God Olympus in Greek mythology. Is there any connection between them?” I asked.
“I don’t think so,” Hepf replied. “I’m quite sure that there is no connection. Our characters and behaviours are quite different compared to the gods in the myths of your world. The gods that you have created are full of jealousy, competitiveness, hatred and resentfulness, which doesn’t make them any different from humans.”
“The name of our city is derived from the name of the temple in which we live. It’s considered to be the largest temple, housing the most highly evolved beings. As many as 30 entities like Master Ruthorn and thousands of technicians like me have lived there together. It’s considered the metropolis of the Eastern continent, or the Uthopria continent,” Hepf said.
“What about the other continent on the opposite side, what’s it called?” I asked him.
“We call it Phopheta,” he answered.
“I think it’s almost time now to commence as all the spaceships have already arrived,” said Hepf.
“I have to admit that I’m so excited that I can’t even put that feeling into words. I don’t know whether it’s because I’m riding in your spaceship, or because I’m going back to my world,” I said.
Hepf smiled understandingly. “I think your excitement comes from the telepathic messages sent directly to you from the millions of spirits who are waiting for your arrival. If you were a clairvoyant and could see them, I believe you would be a thousand times more excited than you are now.”
“Really? Where are they now?” I asked.
“They are all around us now, from here all the way up to the space outside of this planet’s atmosphere above this pyramid. But more of them have gathered in your old world, on the other side of this portal. So many that your world is now brightly illuminated by the aura of these highly evolved spirits. Since you are the focus of this event, this feeling of their collective excitement must have been transmitted directly to you,” Hepf explained.
“Will they see us coming? I mean, when we flew at top speed, I believe it only took us a few seconds to arrive,” I asked.
“They will only see the phenomenon. When the portal opens, we will see something like a column of black smoke that rises upwards from the top of the pyramid, but actually, it’s not smoke but it looks similar.”
“So, what is it then?” I asked.
“It’s a state with characteristics similar to a black hole since this column cuts through the centre of the Milky Way galaxy like a tube, exactly what a black hole does. However, the effect of that column is not that it sucks in everything around it, but it’s more like a transfer. If we stayed here, we would be transferred to the other side, but if we were on the other side, we would return here. That’s basically it,” Hepf said.
“What happens is actually this,” he went on. “When we are teleporting from here to there, the property of the matter will expand and fill this so-called tube. It’s like enlarging the mass first before it turns back into the original form at the destination. Let’s suppose our ship is white; as soon as the ship enters that tube, it will expand and fill this tube with a flash of white light, which will disappear and transform back into our ship when we arrive at the other side.”
“You can compare this phenomenon to the ripples created in the water when you throw a stone into a lake. But it’s a lot more complicated and much faster because the ripples in this black hole are far beyond any equation in the magnetic field of the universe. To put it simply, they are beyond the laws of space and time. Therefore, when we travel by this method, the time will equal zero. I’ve heard that you call this method ‘warp drive’ or teleport in science fiction movies, but you don’t fully understand the real principles yet. You’re still thinking in three-dimensions. One day, when you understand the characteristics of black holes, the gravitational value of the universe, the mathematics of the pyramids, and the time cycle of the universe, then only you will be able to travel using this method as well. But it will still take a long time because you have to understand this from different dimensions,” Hepf explained.
