Despite some hiccups, the journey and experiment that Hao Ren had carefully planned finally came to an end. The otherworldlings from Earth, who had stayed in Io for two days, boarded the spacecraft and embarked on their return journey. They were shocked by the incredible experiences of the past eight days, with all kinds of long-term thinking that they had never had before, and with still unquenchable excitement, they looked for someone to talk to in the lounge of the Petrachelys. Although the estrangement could not be completely eliminated, in this special occasion, the group of supernatural creatures finally let go of their hostility and vigilance toward each other. Or rather, they could not care less about the hostility and vigilance at the moment. They had too many feelings and questions to talk to, and they could not care less about who they were talking to. Even between werewolves and vampires, demon hunters and otherworldlings, there was always a word or two to talk about.
Before returning to the Gate of the Universe, the Petrachelys first went to Holletta to pick up Lorissa, who was waiting there, and a few Ancients volunteers who were ready to go to Earth. The latter were the pure-blooded compatriots that Marshal Ophra had contacted in the kingdom. The female marshal seemed to have a lot of prestige among her people. At her call, many volunteers came forward. Finally, after a selection, she selected five of the purest and oldest people to participate in Hao Ren's project.
As for Marshal Ophra herself … In the end, she could not go with them herself. After all, as the military commander of a country, even though she was looking forward to this incredible journey, she could not just leave like that.
After the experimental volunteers boarded the spacecraft, Hao Ren asked Lorissa curiously, "What are your expectations for the next journey?"
"Not really," Lorissa said casually as she looked curiously at the interior of the Petrachelys. "I have not had this kind of emotion since the day I was born. I was designed to live according to the plan, follow orders, and cooperate with various experiments. Everything about me is arranged, and I have long been used to this arrangement. I don't know how to react to the unknown. If I have to say that I am looking forward to it, I just hope that the Raven goddess you mentioned will have a good temper. After all, my life is in her hands."
"Don't take it so seriously." Hao Ren could not help but laugh. "She is definitely a good person. Even if you yell at her, she will not necessarily strike you with lightning. And you can look forward to what you see in the surface world. Compared to the Plane of Dreams, where everything was destroyed after the catastrophe, the surface world is a vibrant place. "
Lorissa laughed silently. "Well, then I will look forward to it from now on."
There were no more twists and turns on the way back. Soon, the supernatural creatures from Earth returned to the place where they first set off: the Kuiper Space Station in the solar system's shroud. These otherworldlings, who had been sightseeing in the other world for ten days (including the time spent on the round-trip and jumping between planets), reappeared in front of their respective families through a series of temporary teleportation portals.
They had countless travel experiences to tell their people, countless insights and knowledge to share with the wise ones, and even ancient artifacts from their homeland to show. The rune dwarves brought back rubbing scrolls with their ancient characters, Zeon Lucas brought back books with the myths of the Blood Clan ancestors, the Ebben brothers brought back slates from the sacred mountain of the werewolves, the representative of the Ancattero family brought back the wall fragments of Alamanda, the City of Gold, Katreina brought back 20 gigabytes of photos, videos, and stones from the bottom of the sea on Io. Hessiana brought back six pounds of skewers and more than 20 pounds of local specialties. Hao Ren did not know that the little bat liked to eat so much. It was probably a side effect of starvation when she was with Vivian.
What happened after these otherworldlings returned home was not Hao Ren's concern. After making sure that everyone had safely passed through the teleportation portal, he brought the volunteers that Raven 12345 needed to the divine realm. There were a total of ten volunteers. In addition to Lorissa, the perfect sample, and the five pure-blooded ancients from the Plane of Dreams, there were also four pure-blooded demon hunters, including White Flame and Hasse. In this way, the volunteers had covered all the samples: the mutated samples who had crossed the Wall of Reality and were affected by the Sin of the Divine Blood and the impact of the world; the pure samples who had not crossed the Wall of Reality but remained in the Plane of Dreams and thus retained their original form; and the perfect samples who were the early products of divine cells, in the intermediate state between mortal and deified life, and retained all traces of artificial modification. Hao Ren's sampling this time had completely exceeded his original plan. The situation was so good that he felt that if Raven 12345 did not give him a triple year-end bonus, it would be a disgrace to the name of the House of God.
As the teleportation screen gradually dissipated in the air, Hao Ren led the ten volunteers to stand in front of the gorgeous mansion of his goddess. To his relief, the neurotic goddess did not seem to have a relapse recently. The mansion was not blown into ruins, the garden was not burned to ashes, and there were no bomb craters in the small square. The fountain in front of the mansion was normal water instead of lightning bolts. All his previous worries had been put aside. He was ready to bring a group of guests to visit the tragedy of Raven 12345's self-destruction. He even thought about how to explain the magical phenomenon of God tearing down heaven when he saw the scene. After all, this was not the first time such a thing had happened.
After letting out a long sigh, Hao Ren put on a smile and turned his back to the mansion. He opened his hands and said, "Welcome to the source of truth of this universe. This is where the goddess lives."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a violent tremor coming from under his feet, followed by a deafening explosion behind him, mixed with the loud noise of the entire house collapsing.
The expression on Hao Ren's face suddenly froze on the bright smile. White Flame, who was opposite him, carefully raised her finger and pointed behind him. "Hao Ren, the source of truth has exploded."
"What the f * ck?" Hao Ren turned his head stiffly and saw that the beautiful mansion had turned into ruins. There was only a large amount of light blue arcane energy flowing in the air. Countless dust rose from the ruins, and the last pillar of the house slowly collapsed in front of him. The whole scene was very Terminator, very Hollywood, and very Raven 12345.
It made Hao Ren want to curse.
"You can't be like this …" After a brief daze, he quickly ran toward the ruins that were still shrouded in smoke and plasma. "You're my sister, why did you explode again!!"
A beam of light suddenly rose from the ruins. Hao Ren instinctively stopped in place. Then, a holographic projection of Raven 12345 appeared in the beam of light. She did not look too shabby. Except for her messy hair, she looked neat from head to toe. The background behind her was a huge vortex filled with red light, blood-red clouds, and lightning, like the eye of a storm. The vortex was huge, and there was a chaotic nothingness around it. Obviously, it did not belong to this dimension. But the big explosion in the mansion had something to do with the vortex behind Raven 12345.
At first, Hao Ren thought that the goddess had blown up her house again. But when he saw the huge energy vortex behind Raven 12345 and the jumping runes and lines around the energy vortex, he swallowed his words. Eyes wide open, he asked curiously, "Boss, what are you doing? Did you blow up the divine realm?"
"Hey, just a little crisis prevention project." Raven 12345 waved her hand, and a powerful red stream of light rushed out of the vortex behind her. The light instantly formed an extremely complex rune array in the void, and then gradually dissipated into the darkness. Obviously, this huge energy structure was still in the process of being perfected. "Don't worry about it. It's just a little unexpected energy leakage. Anyway, this house often blows up anyway, I'm used to it …"
Hao Ren was speechless.
Such a big movement and "a little energy leak"? And what was this "a little crisis prevention project"? What was this goddess doing at home when she had nothing better to do?
"Ahem, don't ask about the details first." Raven 12345 seemed a little embarrassed. She coughed awkwardly and changed the topic. "You … Oh, you have brought the volunteers here? Which one is Lorissa? "
"This one is." Hao Ren quickly pulled out the elf queen, who was standing at the back of the team with a dumbfounded look on her face. In fact, the elf queen was not the only one who was dumbfounded. The moment they saw the heaven explode in front of them, all ten of them were dumbfounded. "She is the one I mentioned in my report."
"Hmm … is she the replica of the mage emperor of Holletta?" The holographic projection of Raven 12345 nodded and took a closer look at Lorissa. At that moment, Lorissa suddenly felt an indescribably powerful will sweeping over her. The will was so powerful that she felt every strand of her hair, every cell, and every elementary particle that made up her body was instantly seen through. Her spirit and soul, which she was so proud of, seemed to have disappeared in the face of this will. It was not until the projection of the goddess in the air looked away that Lorissa felt her own existence again.
However, that powerful gaze was just a gaze from a holographic image.
Lorissa instantly tensed up. She really realized that she was facing a true god, or at least some kind of existence that she absolutely could not understand and fight against. She looked nervously at the holographic projection of Raven 12345. Raven 12345's voice seemed to echo directly in everyone's mind.
"Ah, your hair is the same color as mine."
Lorissa asked, "?"
