On the bridge of the Petrachelys, only Hao Ren and the goddess of creation were looking at a box of books. While they had reached a consensus on "knowledge is power", it was clear that for a wild goddess who had never been to school, how to convert knowledge into power was still a mystery.
Hao Ren felt that he had the responsibility to guide the goddess on the path of excellence, so he pointed to the box of books and said, "These are all materials compiled according to your specific situation. The Dark Valkyrie, who is your 'mother', also left some reading notes in there. I suggest you start with creation, because this knowledge is the foundation, and then the various destructive divine arts, because what we need most now is combat power. I have made a study plan for you, and here is a timetable for you to take. In addition to learning according to the timetable, you have to do ten sets of papers and sixty questions every day, and you have to finish the twenty pounds of one lesson and one practice as soon as possible, and then there are new ones. Of course, practice and theory cannot be slacked off, so here are ten sets of experiment instructions. You can mess around in the lab of CARS, and if it is more destructive, find your own testing ground … "
Rheia listened blankly, and every time Hao Ren said something, she would blink. When Hao Ren was finally done, the goddess of creation puffed up her chest and waved her fist in the air. "I'm going to take the Mad Lord down with me!"
"It is not right to avoid learning." Hao Ren looked at the goddess expressionlessly. "Let me tell you, your mother is a famous genius in the divine realm, the first Goddess of Light to graduate as a dark god. You have her bloodline, so your potential is definitely enough. Have confidence in yourself …"
Rheia's face was scrunched up. "I have never experienced this! Isn't learning a step-by-step thing?! "
Hao Ren sighed. "Learning should be done step by step, but the Mad Lord does not. You should know this better than me. And to be honest, the higher-ups have considered that you will have difficulties facing such a huge academic pressure, so they asked me to help you. "
Rheia's eyes lit up. "You can help? Can I copy your homework? "
Hao Ren took out the Meteor Hammer Bible from his Dimensional Pocket. "This is a replica of the Dark Valkyrie's weapon. My main task is to supervise your learning …"
Before he could finish, Rheia had already flashed to the door, and the goddess, whose style was getting weirder and weirder, or rather, was getting more and more normal, pointed at the menacing brick, her lips trembling. "Take that thing away! I'll learn, okay? "
Hao Ren chuckled and put away the meteor hammer. "You should have cooperated from the start."
Rheia walked back cautiously as she looked at Hao Ren suspiciously. "So this thing was actually prepared for me right? That was why you used it against the goddess of annihilation … "
Hao Ren coughed dryly to indicate his tacit agreement.
Rheia's face turned ashen, and she decided to devote herself to learning …
In fact, she knew very well that in order to deal with the Mad Lord, it was wiser to improve her own strength as soon as possible, and those books that recorded valuable knowledge were the best aid for her to improve her strength. If she did not understand this, even if Hao Ren wielded the Meteor Hammer Bible, he would not be able to threaten a true god. But then again, who did not have a little bit of emotion? Especially when faced with a bunch of problem sets that suddenly appeared in front of her …
Hao Ren knew this too, so he stopped while he was ahead. After confirming that the goddess of creation was confident in her studies, he changed the topic. "Actually, I have something else to tell you."
"Huh? There's more? "Rheia was taken aback." Isn't it just a semester?! "
"I'm not talking about school." Hao Ren waved his hand helplessly. "I'm talking about the Creation's Engine."
"The Creation's Engine?" Rheia breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it was not about increasing her workload, but she was puzzled. "What's wrong with the Creation's Engine?"
"In short, I need it," Hao Ren said straightforwardly.
Rheia was even more confused. "Didn't you say that the plan I came up with was too flawed and had been scrapped? What's the use of keeping the Creation's Engine? "
"It's indeed useless according to what you set it up in the beginning, but as a powerful divine artifact, it's still very valuable." Hao Ren waved his hand. "We need to squeeze every ounce of power out of it to prepare for the coming war. The Creation's Engine that you've been fiddling with for so long can't be left as scrap metal. I know that thing was dragged into the Umbral Realm when the divine realm exploded, but we couldn't find it. Where did you hide it? "
Rheia nodded in realization after hearing Hao Ren's reason. She then laughed. "Of course you can't find it, because the Creation's Engine is not in the Umbral Realm at all."
"… What did you say?" Hao Ren was taken aback for a moment before he reacted.
Rheia, however, brought up another matter. "I heard that the Solenne system has appeared in the prime material world, is that true?"
While he did not know why Rheia suddenly mentioned this, Hao Ren nodded. "Yes, it suddenly appeared two years ago. We found Lemendusa and Heve on the battlefield at the Gate of Solenne. We do suspect that the system had left the Umbral Realm because of the Creation's Engine, but the process … "
"The Creation's Engine is in the Solenne system," Rheia interrupted him.
Hao Ren was stunned, and he said subconsciously, "That's impossible! We had searched the entire system where the Gate of Solenne was, and we did not even let go of the core of every star! Even now, there are still thousands of probes scanning that place day and night, where is the Creation's Engine? "
"Conventional detection methods are useless, because the Creation's Engine is not 'somewhere' in the Solenne system, but 'itself' in Solenne." Rheia blinked. "Ah, it's going to be troublesome to explain in detail. After all, I've never been to school, and I don't know how to describe the process in technical terms …"
"Then there's no need to explain. Just get the engine out," Hao Ren said as he was about to give an order to Nolan. "Nolan, prepare the route, the target is the foundry of the Solenne Gateway, we …"
"We don't have to go there," Rheia interrupted him. "Didn't you say that you have a lot of probes in the Solenne system? Then you should be able to transmit the image of the entire system over, right? Down to every little celestial body. "
Hao Ren calculated the number and quality of the probes he had left behind and found that there was no problem. He nodded and got Nolan to connect to the data station on the surface of the Solenne Gateway. "Connect the real-time monitoring data over there."
"Then find a place where you can look out into space," Rheia continued. "Towards the open space."
Hao Ren thought for a moment and had a flash of inspiration. "Oh, there's an observation deck in the upper Class-A section of the ship. Once you open it, you can look out into space. Is that enough?"
Rheia laughed. "That would be great."
The two of them immediately left the bridge and headed for the observation deck in the upper Class-A zone. When they arrived, they found that there were other people on the observation deck. Lily, Wuyue and Rollie were each holding a bottle of soft drink and looking at the starry sky.
At first, Hao Ren thought that the three girls were here to observe the stars and compose poems, but when he got closer, he realized that they were just bragging. Lily was chewing on her straw and shaking her head. "Back then, it was hard for us to separate. You all know about the mirror image, right? It's on par with the original! Defeating yourself is the most difficult thing in the world. At first, I was firing light cannons at the other side, and I quickly ran out of mana. Then I fired missiles at them, and when I ran out of missiles, we had to compete to see who could shout louder. You know, I might not win in a fight, but I've never lost an argument! I thought I was about to win, but who would have thought that Mr. Landlord would use a meteor hammer to push the boss to the second stage … "
Nangong Wuyue and Rollie nodded in unison. "That's right." "If it wasn't for Mr. Landlord, I would have won!" "Big Boss Cat is always up to no good!" "Mr. Landlord is here!"
The trio finally noticed Hao Ren who was standing behind them, and immediately jumped up with an awkward smile on their faces. Hao Ren did not expose them and just waved his hand. "I didn't hear anything just now."
"Heh heh …" Lily laughed dryly, and then noticed the goddess of creation standing beside Hao Ren. "Ah, the goddess is here too? What are you two doing here? "
"To be honest, I don't know either." Hao Ren pointed at Rheia. "I'm still waiting for her demonstration."
Rheia did not try to be mysterious, and just said, "Send the real-time image of the Solenne system over, and project it … here. I want the view to be at XXX-XXX-XXX. "
Inside the Petrachelys, holographic projections could be generated everywhere, so the real-time surveillance footage from the Solenne system was immediately displayed above the observation deck, and according to Rheia's request, behind the projection was a vast expanse of space, with a rather large empty area.
Rheia looked at the projection, and one of her eyes suddenly changed. The line between the pupil and the sclera blurred, and gradually turned into a murky gray, while specks of golden light shone in her eye sockets. "Keep this projection, and then the image from …"
"Keep these two projections, and change the view to …"
"Change the view to …"
"Overlay all the images, and then use the current time as the benchmark to extrapolate the changes of the system in the next two hundred years, and highlight the orbits of all the stars."
"Now highlight the orbits of all the planets, and continue to move back two hundred years …"
The golden light in Rheia's eye sockets had dissipated outside, and was projected onto the holographic projection in the air, and Hao Ren felt that the space outside the Petrachelys was distorting, and something that did not exist in this world was slowly emerging.
"Very good, all the images are in place. Now invert all the images."
The holographic projection of the Solenne system continued to overlay, interfere, and deform in a series of complex changes. At first, it looked like a mess of lines, but slowly, a complex but rhythmic spherical object appeared in the center of the image, and it was only when the goddess of creation ordered all the images to be inverted that Hao Ren and Lily gasped.
The images of the stars had combined into something new, and it was the blueprint of the Creation's Engine! And it was the missing part of the core blueprint that Hao Ren was missing!
Rheia blinked, and the mutated eye returned to normal, and the holographic projection in the air slowly dissipated. But outside the ship, in the area covered by the holographic projection, a huge, pale gold complex structure had appeared out of nowhere, and was slowly moving under the drive of divine power.
"How can something as important as the Creation's Engine be placed in a place where anyone can see it?" Rheia turned around with a sly smile on her face. "I placed it in a line of sight, a line of sight that observes the Solenne system from a specific angle and sequence."
Hao Ren gulped as he suppressed the urge to yell, "You gods sure know how to play!" and said with difficulty, "You made the retrieval code so complicated … but if you were really dead, who would be able to find the engine?"
"This was one of Vivian's original missions." Rheia shook her head helplessly. "Why else do you think the Solenne Gateway would suddenly leave the Umbral Realm and appear in the real universe? That was to call Vivian to retrieve the goods … but no one expected her to lose her memory. "
Hao Ren finally understood.
Rheia, on the other hand, looked at the Creation's Engine (strictly speaking, the core of the engine) in the universe and lamented, "How many years of hard work, and this is now yours."
Just as Hao Ren was about to nod in gratitude, Rheia continued, "That's why I said, you guys are here for my legacy!"
"Pfft …" Hao Ren was speechless.
