Hao Ren and Leah came to the upper level of the Temple of the World Tree together. Located deep in the canopy, it is a vast area like a circular square. The branches that are tens of kilometers thick and the layers of huge leaves turn this place into a
A closed space, but there is no darkness at all here. The halo emitted by the World Tree itself illuminates this huge cavity, even making it as bright as day. And around the circular square, hundreds of curved white curves
Stone pillars grow from the trunk of the giant tree, supporting and isolating the lush branches and leaves outside, and finally converge into a vault-like structure above.
Luminous silk threads hang down from those elegant stone beams. At the end of each silk thread, there is a small ball of light flying. They are the "elves" accompanying the World Tree itself. They are responsible for maintaining this huge and complex
An automatic system to ensure that every change in the entire universe is monitored.
In order to give full play to the efficiency of the World Tree system, Hao Ren has connected the data link of the Crystal Core Research Station here. Therefore, this circular square is also equivalent to an extension of the Crystal Core Research Station. Asuman can directly connect his
He projected his consciousness and used the processing function of the World Tree to greatly improve his own listening efficiency. It was thanks to this high-efficiency system that he discovered the unusual movements in the depths of the dark abyss at the first time.
Asumana's shining nebula-like image appeared in the center of the square, and a sweet voice sounded directly next to Hao Ren's ears: "I observed three energy fluctuations in total, with an interval of less than three seconds, the first and second times.
The fluctuations are relatively weak, but the third one is quite powerful, even to the extent that it can be directly observed without the help of a booster antenna. The Crazy Lord will undoubtedly be injured by this energy burst, and the jailers who stick there will get a breather.
Chance."
"The first and second fluctuations should be that the Goddess of Destruction is trying to suppress her divine power and go berserk, but how could she be able to suppress it? It's a miracle that she can hold on until now before exploding," Hao Ren, as an explosion expert, said very professionally
Commenting, "In this explosion, she will lose half her life or not."
But Leah was thinking about something else: "We send in a good signal so that the guards there can know that they have not been forgotten and that someone is outside trying to deal with the Crazy Lord."
Hao Ren nodded and looked at Asuman again: "Are there any other changes besides this?"
"There is better news," Asuman said the good news, but his tone was as emotionless as ever, "The information relay station set up by the drone group near the dark abyss has been successfully activated. Its effect is beyond expectations. I started
We received relatively clear whispers among the stars, and briefly heard the conversation of the Star Citizen Sentinels. Although we failed to successfully establish contact, we can confirm that the Sentinel system in the cage still exists and the ancient defense line has not been lost."
Hao Ren couldn't help but take a deep breath. The progress in this area made him feel a little excited. The relay station was indeed useful! The isolation of the dark abyss from the outside world made it possible to break through without destroying the seal. If he could successfully communicate with
The sentinels inside establish contact... which does not improve the situation at all!
"Very well, your work is very important. You must not relax," he said happily. "I will let the drones speed up the construction of more relay stations and ancillary facilities. Maybe soon we will be able to successfully compete with your compatriots."
We made a connection.”
After learning the information about the Dark Abyss Cage, Hao Ren hung up the contact with Asuman. The holographic projection in the air gradually dimmed. Then he looked at the Creation Goddess beside him: "The path leading to the dark realm.
How is the construction of the stable channel going?"
"It's almost finished, but it still needs to be adjusted. The current transmission consumes a lot of energy and has coordinate misalignment problems," Leah said as she reached out and gently touched the crystal inlaid on the surface of a stone pillar beside her, "According to your
Suggestion, I will open the passage here."
As her words fell, a slight buzzing sound sounded in the circular square.
Immediately afterwards, the hundreds of curved and closed white stone beams above the square entered the charging state one by one, and stretched out around like soft vines. A hundreds of curved and closed white stone beams slowly opened above the hemispherical dome.
A meter-wide circular hole, with a shining light film covering the hole, through which energy surges.
It was clearly a portal that could lead directly to the dark realm.
The Dark Realm is the most special part of the Dream Plane. In fact, it does not belong to the Dream Plane at all, but is an independent world that "sticks" to the world barrier of the Dream Plane, like a parasitic universe. This also leads to
It solves the problem that the portal that is usually only used for transmission in this world cannot be directly connected between the two, but this is no longer a problem after getting that magical "beacon". By using the huge computing power of the World Tree,
And surging energy, even without Nolan's assistance, can open a stable passage to the dark realm, and this is the final result.
Hao Ren just asked Leah for this matter, and never interfered again. Unexpectedly, only two days had passed, and Leah had already built the portal to a barely usable level. But in fact, it is normal when you think about it: leading to
The beacon in the dark realm itself was calculated by Leah herself. Coupled with her learning ability inherited from her mother, she learned everything she needed to learn after studying the instructions of World Tree in two days. Next, she only needs to
Just bind the beacon to the World Tree. For this self-taught creation goddess... it's really not that difficult.
"After the portal is completely stable, we will launch an investigation into the Lahirian planet," Hao Ren said about his plan. "I went back and discussed it with our boss. Both of us believe that the entire dark realm is full of mysteries, and
Lahirion may be the center of the mystery. We even speculate that the Crazy Lord is not unique to the dream plane at all, and the so-called dark realm may be the real first victim..."
There was no need to keep this information secret, so Hao Ren told the Goddess of Creation everything. The more she listened, the more her eyes widened. When she finished hearing about the "ecological model" of the Crazy Lord,
After guessing, she finally couldn't help it anymore: "Are you saying that the Lord of Madness will parasitize universe after universe and spread like a virus?!"
"It's not certain whether it will spread or not, but the Dark Realm at least proved that it has the ability to find new victims after destroying a world." Hao Ren nodded, "To be honest, the danger has suddenly increased a lot."
"Hey, I feel hairy all over," Leah folded her arms and rubbed them, as if even gods could get goosebumps (maybe they really have this function?), "Such a dangerous thing... we must kill it quickly, and
It has to be done thoroughly..."
At this time, Hao Ren suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I have something to ask you about the Creation Engine."
"Creation Engine? What's wrong?" Leah frowned, "Did you encounter problems in your research on it?"
"It's the golden discs inside the engine," Hao Ren waved his hand, "We know that the golden discs inside the engine are the key to making it run, but to be honest, I have only found a small part of them now, and there are nine more
The whereabouts of the discs are unknown. Although we have rejected the plan to use the engine to destroy the Manmen, those discs are still indispensable as the core of divine power calculations, so I would like to ask where you have hidden the remaining discs?"
Hearing this, Leah actually showed a surprised look: "You mean the remaining discs? Aren't those discs in the engine core I gave you before? They were extracted from the Suluen Gate last time.
The core of the engine..."
"You said the disk is inside?" Hao Ren looked even more surprised than Leah, "Are you sure?"
"Of course I am sure that the core area of the creation engine was the fastest progressed at that time. I installed the completed divine power conversion skeleton and discs. In fact, I also planned to install the remaining discs. If there was a war that year
If I could postpone the outbreak for a few months, I would have assembled it, but as a result, the plan could not keep up with the changes... But all in all, I watched the nine golden discs being put into the core with my own eyes..." Lia noticed Hao as he spoke.
As Ren's expression changed, her speaking speed gradually slowed down, "Wait a minute, could it be..."
"Is that the case?" Hao Ren felt a dull pain in his back molars, "With the disc gone, the slot in the engine core is empty."
Leah's eyes widened and her little body tensed up: "I'm sure I remembered correctly. I did put them in back then!"
Hao Ren smiled bitterly: "Then there is only one explanation: someone stole them again..."
"Someone..." Leah blinked, "Who can do this? After the explosion of the Kingdom of God, the engine was drawn into the dark realm along with the Gate of Suluen, and before that, the disc was always there
…Damn it!”
She seemed to have thought of something, and her face suddenly darkened.
Hao Ren also thought of the same thing. He gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that we have thought of it together. If anyone other than you might know the secret of the Creation Engine, then it would be the Goddess of Destruction who was detonated by us.
…”
Leah grabbed a strand of silver hair on her chest with some irritation: "But how could she be! She obviously fell into a deep sleep with me. Even though the Suluen Gate was beside us at that time, she could... in her deep sleep...
"
Hao Ren looked at the goddess and couldn't help but remind her: "You were also asleep at the time, but didn't you still reshape Lahirien in your dream?"
Leah fell silent.
Hao Ren sighed: "Sleeping gods can also do many things. The Goddess of Destruction... although she is a polluter, she also has the power of a true god. It seems that we have another trouble this time."
The person most likely to take away the nine golden discs is undoubtedly the Goddess of Destruction. She must not have gone to such great lengths to take those discs away just to amuse the dogs. So what will she do with them?
"The nine disks... already account for three-quarters of the entire core system. Even if there are three less, those nine disks can still use the redundant complementary mechanism to complete most of the computing tasks," Leah said in a particularly special tone.
Seriously, "The most complex and time-consuming part of the entire Genesis Engine is the discs. Even if the rest of the parts are cut corners, the engine can barely start..."
"What do you think she's going to do with those things?"
