Under Raven 12345's instruction, Hao Ren once again took out the big black book from the dimensional pocket and solemnly placed it on the coffee table.
In fact, he had already read it once. That was if fainting from the symbols on the book after flipping it open could be considered reading.
From the day he got this divine artifact, Hao Ren knew the value of this thing. He knew that this weird "Bible" with a chain and eight rams contained great power. As long as he could master even one percent of its power, he would have a much better chance of winning against the Mad Lord in the future. So on the night he brought this thing home, he opened the book and read it once. It was definitely a painful memory. The title page was fine, but the power contained in the text of the book was completely unbearable for a half-baked demigod like him.
It was a divine text with pure divine power. Each symbol contained information equivalent to the foundation of the universe. This information had nothing to do with the specific content of the divine text, but the inherent properties of the divine text itself. Hao Ren did not understand a word at all in that short reading of a few minutes. He only felt that there were countless strange symbols flying in and out of his brain. The vast amount of taboo knowledge was stuffed into his brain and disappeared the next moment. In the end, he remembered nothing. The only gain was a seven-hour sleep.
Raven 12345 said that the content of the book was a novel that people would abandon after three chapters, something that the Dark Valkyrie made up during her rebellious period. But for Hao Ren, the content was not important. The process of him reading the divine text was equivalent to gazing at the truth of the universe. Not to mention that he had not even seen the beginning of the "novel" yet.
Lily and Nangong Sanba sat on either side of Hao Ren, staring curiously at the thick black book. Lil Pea jumped on the big book and slapped the cover with her tail, raising her arms and shouting, "Daddy! Daddy doesn't read! Daddy doesn't read! "
The little mermaid was afraid that Hao Ren would faint for the whole day after reading for two minutes like last time.
"Don't worry, daddy knows how to read this book this time." Hao Ren picked up the little mermaid and put her in the basin next to him. He silently repeated the trick Raven 12345 told him in his mind, then turned to look at Lily and Nangong Sanba. "When I open the cover, don't look at the text inside. Just keep an eye on my movements. If something goes wrong, immediately block my eyes. Lily! Put away your alloy greatsword! I want you to block my eyes, not knock me out! "
Lily stuck out her tongue and angrily threw the giant alloy X11 sword to the side.
Hao Ren took a deep breath and solemnly opened the cover of the big black book.
The moment the cover was opened, the book was out of his control. The pages of the book began to flip wildly as if there was a gust of wind blowing its pages. Countless symbols and information began to pour into Hao Ren's mind. His spiritual world almost reached the edge of collapse in an instant.
However, just when the situation was about to repeat itself, Hao Ren abruptly stopped his spiritual power from collapsing and immediately shielded his perception of everything around him. He only focused his spiritual power on the "Bible" in front of him.
This was the "trick" that Raven 12345 taught him, a clever way to read the sacred text.
Under this extreme mobilization of spiritual power, Hao Ren finally felt that the frantically flipping pages in front of him gradually stopped, and the symbols flying around in front of his eyes slowly receded out of his field of vision. He began to see some coherent sentences and phrases, and these words and phrases were not fixed on the page. As his eyes wandered, these words and phrases were constantly changing, as if a sentence contained the evolution of all the information in the universe.
Of course, this was just an illusion. Hao Ren tried to concentrate and let the pages in his field of vision become more stable. Then he outlined the question he wanted to ask in his mind: what if the goddess of creation had been corrupted by the Mad Lord when he found her?
The words on the page trembled and began to extract the most appropriate answer from the vast information contained in the Bible. But the words it presented were still not clear enough, so Hao Ren had to strengthen the impression of the question in his mind over and over again to strengthen his connection with the divine artifact.
He felt his vision was darkening, and his head was splitting. But before he completely lost control, the few lines on the page finally became clear.
He did it!
Hao Ren's eyes widened as he stared at the "divine message" that emerged, trying to engrave it in his heart. The words went like this:
"Step one: Open the book and reason with her. If she doesn't listen, move on to step two.
"Step two: Close the book, pull the chain and swing the front of her face.
"Step three: Open the book and reason with her.
"Step four: Repeat the above until she is willing to reason with you."
There was a small line of words below: Convince people with reason.
Before Hao Ren fainted, there was only one sentence in his mind: Motherf * cker, this is the logic of physics, right?
At the same time, in the "Creation's Engine Foundry" in the Solenne Nebula of the Plane of Dreams, the last star forging furnace was gradually calming down under the control of Lemendusa. All the forging materials were taken out from the core of the star and temporarily sealed on a nearby planet, waiting for the order to start again.
Lemendusa stood on the control platform in space, his body more than ten meters tall was plated with a layer of gold by the light of the star forging furnace. There was a trace of regret in his serious expression as he looked at the star forging furnace that was gradually shrinking into a normal star in front of him. He could not help but sigh softly. "The construction project is more than half done."
Muru's voice came from behind him. "Nine of the most important Gilded Discs are still missing. Without those Gilded Discs as the computing center, even if the core of the Creation's Engine is completed, it will be meaningless. Besides, the external framework of the engine is still missing in the Umbral Realm. "
"There is no other way. After all, there is a problem with the blueprint." Lemendusa glanced at his brother and then turned back to continue to supervise the project in space. A large number of towing barges were busy near the "Sun Port" above the star forging furnace. They would transport the parts that had been cast and the materials that were temporarily not needed to the nearby warehouse. Further away, a huge pale gold space facility was quietly floating among the stars, its shell shining with the light of the stars.
That was the unfinished Creation's Engine. This incredible device was already in its embryonic form. It was like a small planet assembled with a large number of giant mechanical structures and curved metal plates. Two-thirds of the artificial dwarf planet's skeleton had been built and covered a small part of its outer shell. The unfinished parts were like a bunch of gnawed holes. The light from the engine power lines and the exhaust flames from the engineering spaceships flickered in these gaps. But now that the assembly project had been suspended, all construction work had stopped. The engineering spaceships were only responsible for daily maintenance and inspection inside the Creation's Engine.
Although the engine had a theoretically unlimited service life after completion, its self-repair function and stabilizing force field had not been activated before completion. To keep such a huge thing in good condition, it must be maintained regularly.
Lemendusa had been supervising this project for a long time. The engine started from a blueprint, and now it had a prototype. It was his great effort. Now that the project had been stopped, he was of course a little disappointed.
But the news from Hao Ren must be taken seriously. Lemendusa knew that the "spokesperson" from the Otherworld would not speak casually. Since he had urgently stopped the construction of the Creation's Engine, it meant that there was a big problem.
"The project here may not restart for a while." Muru was also looking at the Creation's Engine in space, but he was talking to Lemendusa. "Do you want to go back to Tannagost first? The ecology of that planet has fully recovered. You should go back and have a look. "
"Of course, I will go back." Lemendusa nodded, then his tone became serious. "Do you think the reason for the emergency stop of the project is really like what Hao Ren said?"
"Flaws in the blueprint?" Muru shook his head. "Probably only Heve really believed it. You and I can feel that things are not so simple."
"Sure enough, you also think so." Lemendusa exhaled. "The blueprint was personally reviewed by the god named Raven 12345. If the blueprint itself is flawed, the true god would have seen it. So this is obviously an excuse."
"Hao Ren is a trustworthy person. At least he is on our side."
"Yes, so I believe he must have his reasons for doing this," Lemendusa nodded. "Maybe … it has something to do with our mother. If it is about this, he will probably hide the truth from us out of caution. "
Muru looked into Lemendusa's eyes, as if trying to read something from the other's expression. "My brother, do you know something? I can feel that … you are shielding a part of your mind. "
"Yes, I know something," Lemendusa said calmly. "But I can't say it. I can only tell you that I am loyal to my mother, loyal to every mission she has given us. Under this premise, I will not do anything to harm her. "
Muru looked at Lemendusa quietly for a moment, and finally nodded gently. "Of course, I trust you."
The two guardian giants did not speak again, but turned around and looked in the direction of the Creation's Engine, each lost in thought.
While Muru was thinking about what kind of fate the universe would face next, Lemendusa's thoughts returned to the battlefield. For him, what happened on the battlefield was still something he had experienced not long ago.
He recalled the energy arc that tore the earth apart, the rebel fleet that covered the sky, and the many inexplicable, fragmented, and even contradictory orders from the Star of Creation: some of those orders required all guardian troops to immediately evacuate and escape into the depths of the universe, and some required all guardians to hold their ground until the last moment.
In the face of such contradictory orders, the guardian troops chose to hold their ground.
Lemendusa recalled more than that. His memory continued to extend back to the days on the Star of Creation before the outbreak of the deicidal war.
He … had vaguely seen an extremely thin, almost imperceptible shadow standing beside the goddess of creation.
