The goddess of creation was dumbfounded when she saw the box of stuff that Hao Ren had pulled out.
Frankly speaking, Hao Ren felt that anyone would be dumbfounded when they saw the box of stuff.
The goddess of creation Rheia had thought of many things in her mind, and had come up with many plans, but no matter how big a hole in her brain, there was no way she could relate it to 'one lesson, one practice' and 'five three'. Looking at the textbooks and exercise books that were emanating divine power, the goddess who had just woken up suddenly felt that she had not had enough sleep. She blinked and tried to find a hint of a joke on Hao Ren's face, but she was destined to be disappointed.
"Are you … serious?" Rheia asked with a stiff expression. "This is what you mean by quickly increasing my power?"
Hao Ren bent down and took out the exercise books and textbooks one by one. "Look, divine arts, divinity, control of one's own power, and also the analysis of the laws of the world and the laws of the gods. Creation and destruction are the most common, and every subject has ten pounds of exercise books … Let me tell you, you can make up for your shortcomings here, and after learning them, your overall power will increase by at least fifty percent. I'm not joking, knowledge really is power!"
"I know knowledge is power, but there's no such conversion …" Rheia mumbled as she took a thick leather book from Hao Ren. The book's title and cover were written in an unknown language, but as it was imbued with divine power, the information in the book could be read without words, and she could easily understand the meaning on the cover. "'The Dismantling and Reassembling of Laws – Beginner', Pantheon Elementary Education Department … What the hell is this … eh?"
As she spoke, she had already opened the cover of the book, and the power contained in the book was unleashed in an instant, and the compressed and contained information immediately appeared before her eyes. Rheia's expression froze, and she held the book as if she was petrified as she endured the baptism of knowledge that she had never come into contact with before. It was only when Hao Ren waved his hand in front of her that she snapped out of it.
"Hey, wake up, wake up." Hao Ren called out from the side. "How is it? Now do you understand why knowledge is power? "
"This … this …" Rheia stuttered. "Is it all true? So this knowledge could be … could be expressed so clearly? So these things have been summarized to this extent?! "
"I've only seen a small part of it, and I'm not a god myself, so I can't say for sure how much weight this knowledge has. But one thing is for sure, and that is that this knowledge has been accumulated, summarized, and codified by countless gods over countless years. It's that simple and that clear."
Rheia blinked and buried her head back into the book. She seemed very excited. "Yes, it's that simple and clear! These things … I've vaguely thought of these things before. I've also encountered many of the things mentioned above, but I've never thought that they could be explained in this way … It's amazing! Where did you find these treasures? These are priceless … "
Hao Ren did not wait for Rheia to finish before waving his hand. "My boss got them from the second-hand book market. While she bragged to me that she had to ask for a favor from the Galacticus Galacticus to import the advanced textbooks, I found a small advertisement for wholesale second-hand books in the box."
"… Eh?"
"Don't be so surprised. Didn't I tell you? There are endless worlds beyond this one, and there are three ancient pantheons … Well, at least two of them are super ancient. These gods should have summed up some life experience after all these years, at least better than what you've come up with here alone. "Hao Ren chuckled." Don't mind me being blunt, but this place of yours is actually a backwater in the entire Void, and you've never received an orthodox education. That's why you're so embarrassed by a mere Mad Lord. My mission is to make up for your shortcomings … "
Rheia's face was full of embarrassment. "… Hehe, hehe … Backwater is my fault …"
Hao Ren also felt that the atmosphere would get awkward if he went on like that, so he quickly changed the subject. "Ahem, actually you don't have to worry about that. While this place of ours is a little remote, you still have a lot of potential. Not to mention, you've never been to school and still managed to come up with the Weaves of Destiny, and that's already quite impressive …"
It was fine if he did not change the subject, but once he did, Rheia's resentment almost materialized. "Hehe, it's my fault for not going to school …"
Cold sweat trickled down Hao Ren's forehead. "It can't be helped! How can it be your fault? Let me tell you, you actually have a pretty amazing background. Do you know where you came from? "
His words finally killed Rheia's resentment. The goddess felt that the biggest mystery in her life was her background. She was born in a barren universe, and somehow managed to turn the universe into a prosperous one, and somehow her family fell apart and her career collapsed. She had never done anything in her life, and it all started when she opened her eyes on the primordial ocean of the Star of Creation. At that moment, the question had been lingering in her heart.
"Where did I come from?" Rheia's eyes widened as she asked impatiently. "You actually know the answer?!"
"Checking your background has caused quite a lot of trouble." Hao Ren smiled, and seeing that the goddess who seemed to have inherited her mother's legacy was about to hit someone, he quickly continued, "Actually, you should have been one of the gods of the Galacticus Galacticus, but your birth was a complete accident …"
Before he could finish, Rheia exclaimed, "My parents eloped? Even the celestials like this? "
Hao Ren had been brewing his emotions for a long time, and just as he was about to talk about the heroic deeds of the Dark Valkyrie when she was wounded on the battlefield and lost her divine blood, the goddess's words choked all his emotions. His eyes widened. "Ahem … Who said it was an elopement! I haven't … "
"Ah, you don't have to say it. I know this is not something to be spread around." Rheia raised her hand to interrupt Hao Ren, with a look of understanding on her face. "My parents got pregnant out of wedlock, right? Actually, I can accept it … Eh? Could it be worse? My god … Why is my house so messy?! "
Hao Ren felt that if he did not interrupt the goddess, she would come up with a blockage, so he waved his arm and yelled at Rheia to stop. "Stop! I haven't even said anything yet, and you've already made it up! Your birth was an accident, and that was because your mother … "
He then used his fastest speed and strongest word-compression ability to tell Rheia the whole story, including how the Dark Valkyrie was wounded, how she found a deserted place to rest at the edge of the battlefield, and how a drop of divine blood gave birth to a god … By the time he was done, he felt that his tongue was cramping, and Rheia had gone into a daze with her eyes wide open.
A moment later, Rheia's eyes moved, and she came to her senses. "You were talking too fast …"
Hao Ren had just picked up the cup of water to moisten his throat, but he spat it all out. "Pfft!"
"But I understand."
Hao Ren felt lucky that he did not take a second sip, or else he would have spat it out again. The goddess must have done it on purpose, right?
Rheia exhaled, and her voice was filled with emotion. "I really didn't think … I had tried to guess the cause of my birth, and even the origin of the universe, but I never thought I would come about like this … A drop of divine blood? No wonder … "
Hao Ren carefully observed Rheia's expression. "What do you think about your birth? Knowing that you are just a drop of blood, and a forgotten drop of blood, do you feel … a little disappointed? "
Rheia thought for a moment, and suddenly waved her fist, her expression was especially excited. "From what you said, my mother is super powerful, right?"
Hao Ren was speechless. That was not the right reaction!
"I'm not petty, why would I care about the details?" Noticing the expression on Hao Ren's face, Rheia glanced at him. "While it is true that I have been abandoned for many years, it is not because they do not want to care, but because they really do not know. If that is the case, who can I blame? And aren't you here now? Since you are here, it means that someone is taking care of me, and there's no need for me to blame anyone. What's more, I've been persevering alone for so many years. It's better than before … "
"You're quite broad-minded," Hao Ren was impressed.
But after the sigh, he had an answer in his mind. The Plane of Dreams was a place full of troubles, and the goddess of creation had been fighting alone for so many years. If she was not broad-minded, she would not have survived. Why would she need the Mad Lord?
"That Dark Valkyrie … is indeed a very powerful deity," he continued. "She is a double goddess of the Galacticus and Xi Ling, and holds a high position in both. Her combat power is also fierce, and she is also a top student. In fact, part of the textbooks in this box were written by her. As for you … Actually, you can't be considered as her complete 'daughter'. After all, you evolved from a drop of her blood. However, it's not very accurate to call you a clone or a summoned creature. Therefore, the Celestial Realm Neighborhood Committee reported you two as mother and daughter … "
Rheia pinched her chin. "Erm … What's the Neighborhood Committee?"
Cold sweat broke out on Hao Ren's forehead. "It's in charge of human resources … Don't ask me why it's called that. Our higher-ups have always had a refreshing way of thinking."
"Okay, I understand." Rheia thought for a moment and asked another question. "Since I've found my … 'mother', when can I see her? Or, does she want to see me? "
"She is very concerned about you, but you can't meet for the time being," Hao Ren said honestly. "On one hand, the Xi Ling Celestials are currently on an expedition, and the Dark Valkyrie is one of the important commanders of this expedition. She can't skip work and come back to see her daughter while fighting on the frontline. On the other hand, the crisis in the Plane of Dreams is far from over. Before the universe stabilizes, we better not give it any more stimulation."
"Okay, okay, I understand." Rheia raised her hand to show that she understood the situation, then turned to look at the box of books. "So … knowledge is power?"
Hao Ren nodded solemnly. "Yes, knowledge is power."
