This was the real function of the Creation's Engine.
It was not an engine with propulsion in the physical sense. According to Vivian's description, it sounded more like some kind of 'system engine' that acted on information and deleted the content of the universe at the information level.
And this engine had only one function, which was to rewrite the information registry of the entire universe and delete the goddess of creation and the Mad Lord together … "The Mad Lord in its original state was almost invincible.
"The Mad Lord in its primitive state was almost invincible. It was born in the chaos of the ancient times of the Plane of Dreams and inextricably integrated with this cosmic prison. Although its activities would eventually drag the entire universe into destruction, it was still one of the cornerstones of the universe's operation." Vivian shook her head gently. "With the power of the Goddess of Creation, she could defeat the Mad Lord and even seal the Mad Lord again and again, but she could never really destroy it. And in the war between her and the Mad Lord, the entire universe would come to an end at a faster speed. This was the inevitable result of the collision of the two great forces."
Hao Ren smacked his lips. "So she chose to perish together with the Mad Lord?"
The goddess of creation chose to perish together with the Mad Lord, which was not surprising in itself. From the various clues he had, Hao Ren had roughly inferred the goddess of creation's decision in this eternal war. Everything the goddess did was to end the threat of the Mad Lord, and for this purpose, she could sacrifice herself.
What really surprised him was the way the goddess of creation chose to perish together with the Mad Lord and the true face of the Creation's Engine.
As Vivian said, the Mad Lord in its original state was invincible: it coexisted with the universe, lived as long as heaven and earth, and was a component of the basic laws of the Plane of Dreams. It could not be destroyed at all. However, the war between the goddess of creation and this monster had produced an unexpected change: the Mad Lord had become … another god.
The Mad Lord, who had gained a trace of divinity, had the possibility of being completely destroyed.
"The Gilded Discs we are looking for are actually storage devices of divine power and 'comparators' that can calculate divinity. When the Creation's Engine is started, its core system will search the entire universe according to the divine information recorded on the Gilded Discs. The information that meets the search criteria will be forcibly deleted. This process is like cleaning up the registry information by looking for keywords. And the divine information is actually the 'sample' of the goddess of creation herself.
"We found an ancient crystal disc and supporting facilities in Collow and speculated that they were the prototypes of the Creation's Engine and the Gilded Discs. But we fell into a misunderstanding at that time. We always thought that the Creation's Engine was used to generate propulsion or something that had other effects on the physical world. As a result, the research on those prototypes has not made much progress. But in fact, the 'prototypes' are not false. The effect they produce does not correspond to the physical world at all, but is closer to the essence of the information.
Hao Ren nodded, indicating that he understood the part about the Creation 'Engine and the' deleting the deity. Engine of of the Creation. "Creation Engine" Creation Core Throne of the Creation Engine. What does it have to do with you? "
"It is to ensure that the world can still survive after the gods leave," Vivian explained. "Because the goddess of creation's … technical strength is limited, so the Creation's Engine she designed is actually a rather simple and crude thing. It directly deletes the data of the true gods of the universe by searching for keywords, but it does not have the ability to repair the universal system. The result is …"
"After the data of the goddess and the Mad Lord are suddenly deleted, the fundamental laws of the universe will face a large range of logical loopholes and data breakpoints!" Hao Ren had crammed a lot of theoretical knowledge about the Grand Unification of Information from Raven 12345, so he immediately understood. "The Mad Lord is the fundamental data of this universe, and the goddess of creation has been active in this world for a long time. Her influence has become intertwined with the Plane of Dreams and cannot be separated. So their data cannot be forcibly deleted. There must be a replacement. Wait, could it be …"
"I am the replacement. In addition to me, the Throne of the Creation, the Core Planet, and the Divine Oscillation Network outside Star Cluster X are all used to fill the gap after the departure of the goddess of creation and the Mad Lord." Vivian sketched a magic pattern in the air with her finger. She first drew a big circle on the outermost edge. "Remember we found a huge Divine Oscillation Network in the entire universe of the Plane of Dreams? It is the network that you detected when you organized a large wave of otherworldlings from Earth to 'return home to visit their families'. It is built on a star and is the peripheral execution unit of the entire system. The attributeless Divine Oscillation is like a nerve signal that can control the operation of the entire universe. "
Then, she drew a small circle in the big circle. Countless shining lines danced in this small circle, just like those chirping fairies.
"This is the Core of Destiny of Star Cluster X. This planet is the middle processing unit of the entire system. The sprites are actually nerve nodes. Their bodies, which are the resonating crystals, can process and store a huge amount of information. They are like a supercomputer that gives orders to the peripheral execution units. The reason why the sprites are so confused is not because they are stupid, but because the supercomputer is still missing a core … "
In the center of the small circle, Vivian condensed a blood-red rune with magic.
"The Throne of Destiny. It is in that crystal mountain. We have not seen it yet, but I can already sense its existence. In the blueprint of this system, I sit on the Throne of Destiny, responsible for running all the instructions. "Vivian pointed to herself." It is equivalent to the central processing unit, or the operating system. But these are not very accurate because this thing is not quite the same as a 'computer'. The most accurate way to describe it is the 'highest node', which is the queen of the sprites. Back then, the goddess of creation sent me to Earth in the surface world to protect me, the 'highest node', and to complete her 'Final Absolution'. But according to the program, I will eventually return to this place. "
There was a few seconds of silence. Hao Ren looked at Vivian quietly and finally broke the silence. "So … this is the real mission that the goddess of creation left for you."
"Yes, my mission is to replace the position and role of the goddess of creation and the Mad Lord after their influence has been completely eliminated from this universe." Vivian exhaled. "And the whole plan and the finished product is named the 'Weaves of Destiny' — the final order of the universe after the death of the gods."
Hao Ren could not help but recall some of the words and deeds of the goddess of creation before her death when he was talking to Muru and the other two.
The goddess of creation once asked such a question: Is it better to have gods or not to have gods?
At that time, he simply associated this sentence with the deicidal war that broke out after that and thought that it was the goddess of creation's arrangement and foresight for her own death. But now he realized that the goddess of creation was talking about a greater but crazy plan:
Completely erasing the concept of gods in the entire universe was not only to kill the gods, but also to clean up all the influence caused by the gods and remove all their interference in the universe. Whether it was the goddess of creation who was a god or the Mad Lord who was "infected" into a god-like creature, they must all be wiped out.
Then a new world with no gods and no madness would be created, operating according to the laws of nature.
The "Weaves of Destiny" described by Vivian did not have the "power" of the gods. It was actually a basic database and underlying program that contained all kinds of basic parameters needed by the operation of the universe, such as the concept and value of the speed of light, the way the fundamental forces worked, the expansion and contraction coefficient of the universe, and so on. It replaced the position of the goddess not to add a new "manager" to the universe, but to fill in the missing constants caused by the departure of the gods. Hao Ren knew very well what it meant: it was the system environment, or rather, the runtime.
It was the product of the goddess of creation's efforts to eliminate the influence of the gods. Its activation meant the end of the era of gods.
It was not the short-lived "Mythological Era" on Earth, but the real era of gods.
"That's what we know," Salaman finally said after a long silence. "But the Lord of the Throne of Destiny said more."
"Just call me Vivian. This name sounds a little awkward." Vivian waved her hand. "Salaman, what do you think?"
"Since the guide has returned, you should return to the Throne of Destiny as soon as possible," Salaman said matter-of-factly. "The Throne of Destiny has great power. As long as you activate the various systems left by Mother, all the evil in this world will not be worth mentioning. As for the Creation's Engine, I heard that you are already assembling it. With the help of the Weaves of Destiny, it should be completed soon. "
The giant commander trusted his "mother" deeply. At this moment, he also made a rather optimistic deduction, as if the crisis of the universe had really been resolved. However, Vivian did not say anything. She just turned to look at Hao Ren and smiled. "Hao Ren, what do you think?"
Hao Ren smiled and spread out his hands. "I object."
Salaman was stunned for a moment and exclaimed, "What?"
"I object to Vivian sitting on the Throne of Destiny. At least not now, not before I understand how it works and how safe it is."
Salaman seemed to be trying to control his emotions. "Do you know what you are talking about? That is the only hope of the universe! "
"First, of course I know what I am talking about, because I am a person of status. Second, of course, the Throne of Destiny cannot be the only hope of the universe, because there is still me here. Third, the Throne of Destiny just had a blue screen two hours ago. Have you forgotten?"
Salaman was speechless.
"And to be honest, what I'm most worried about is that once you sit on the Throne of Destiny, something unexpected will happen. I've seen a lot of similar scenarios. For example, when you sit on the throne, you turn into an AI, or when you sit on the throne, you merge with the entire network and become like the sprites. Or when you sit on the throne, you can't get down. What's more, the throne is frozen by a big block of ice, and every now and then, twenty-five strangely dressed, violent gang members will come to wreak havoc on the throne …"
Vivian hit Hao Ren in the chest with a small bat. "You are talking nonsense!"
(Let me recommend another book, "I Made Movies in a Different World". To be honest, it is still very young, but it is worth looking forward to.)
