Apparently, Little Bat did not come to Vivian to freeload. She wanted to brag about her career achievements, such as taking complete control of the Shadow Council, consolidating the Hessianite Family's dominance over the otherworldlings on Earth, and achieving results in a major negotiation with the demon hunters. But before she could brag about her achievements, Lily shattered all of Little Bat's confidence. Hao Ren had led the group of violent animals to do something even bigger — they went to confront the goddess.
And they won.
It was as if Little Bat had excitedly returned home with two full marks, only to see a group of people sitting around the coffee table counting their diplomas. She knew the disparity between the two of them.
But what surprised and even moved Hessiana was that Vivian still praised her during dinner.
"What we did and what you did are important. There is no difference." Vivian even patiently comforted Little Bat, who was a little disappointed. "And it was not as smooth as Lily said. The battle was very difficult. Most of us were entangled by our own mirror images and did not have the chance to fight the evil god. Even Mr. Landlord almost lost."
"Really?" Hessiana looked at Hao Ren suspiciously. "Aren't you very powerful?"
"It depends on who I'm fighting against," Hao Ren said with an awkward smile. "We almost lost, but in the end, it was Lil Pea who made the decisive blow."
"Huh?" Hessiana said.
"I'm not lying. It's true. That's why she's the biggest hero this time." Hao Ren said as he solemnly carried Lil Pea to the dining table. He then took out the little one's reward from his Dimensional Pocket: a small red sandalwood chopstick.
Looking at Lil Pea, who was gnawing on the chopstick, and the group of violent people who claimed to have just succeeded in confronting the goddess, Hessiana felt that the difference in their worldview had widened once again.
The happiest person during the meal was Hessiana. The little bat could not remember how many years it had been since she had experienced such peace and warmth. Vivian was by her side, chatting with her, occasionally praising or scolding her. Whether it was praise or scolding, it was with genuine kindness. The cake in her hand was as sweet and delicious as it was 20 centuries ago. And she did not have to worry about being abandoned again.
The second happiest person was Lil Pea. Her happiness was much simpler: the small red sandalwood tasted really good.
The entire Hao Family's mansion was filled with a warm atmosphere today. If there was anything regretful, it would be that at such a heartwarming moment, someone who was related to Vivian by blood was in another world, doing his homework.
Early the next morning, Hao Ren set off to solve this regret.
The war in the Umbral Realm had ended, and the Heart System was no longer threatened by the rebels. All the explored areas of the Plane of Dreams were in the most stable state. Although there were increasingly terrifying roars and vibrations coming from the cage deep in the universe, the night before the storm was always the calmest.
In this brief moment of peace, Hao Ren steered the spaceship to the Basilica of the World Tree in the Heart of Destiny.
The rest of the family was resting, and Vivian stayed behind to accompany Little Bat, who was seriously lacking in motherly love. So Hao Ren came alone this time.
He was one of the masters of the Basilica of the World Tree, and a hero in the eyes of the guardians. So there was no need for him to enter or leave the Heart or the Basilica. After docking the spaceship at a port in the tree crown, he used the internal teleportation system to arrive at the main hall where the goddess of creation was. The goddess was sitting behind a huge desk, with a book and pen in front of her, reading and taking notes.
In the air behind her, a ripple-like light and shadow was slowly changing, and in the light and shadow, a mass of things were slowly condensing and reassembling, and every change seemed to contain the laws and mysteries of the evolution of all things. Hao Ren had only taken a glance at the images, and he felt a lot of knowledge about the structure of elementary particles, basic force parameters, microcosmic-macroscopic conversion, and other information that could not be categorized by current human knowledge appeared in his mind.
As he looked at the changing light and shadow, he gestured in the air, and a faintly glowing, mollusk-like thing appeared out of thin air. The mollusk let out a series of soft grunts before it happily jumped behind Rheia and merged with the images.
The movement of the little creature had awakened the goddess of creation who was immersed in her studies. Rheia looked up and saw Hao Ren standing in front of her, and she was a little surprised. "You guys are back so soon … Hmm? Is it just you? "
"The others are resting at home, and I'm the only one here to see you. You're studying creation?"
"I'm following the class schedule." As Rheia broke away from her thoughts, the images of creation in the air disappeared. The goddess raised the book in her hand so that Hao Ren could see the title on the cover. "Creation in the morning, and destruction related divine arts in the afternoon. Speaking of which, the creation system is really amazing. It can actually bring all the information of the universe into a set of formulas! I was wondering why I always felt that the things I created in the past were different from the ones I designed in the beginning. Turns out it was because the parameters were not set correctly … "
As Rheia began to ramble about her learning experience, Hao Ren suddenly noticed that the goddess of creation's mental state seemed to have changed a little compared to before.
While it was hard to tell, he could hear a strong sense of confidence from her demeanor and tone, as well as … motivation.
It was as if a heavy burden had been removed, and unnecessary thoughts and hesitations had been thrown away, and she had set a new goal and was ready to go all the way. Even when she said the same thing a few days ago, the look in her eyes was completely different!
Was it really like what Raven 12345 had said, that the Dark Valkyrie had left a "little gift" in Rheia's textbook, and it had successfully ignited the fighting spirit of the goddess? Did it have to be so effective!
"Why are you staring at me?" Rheia noticed that Hao Ren's gaze had not moved for a long time, and finally stopped. "Is there something wrong with me?"
"No, there's nothing wrong." Hao Ren quickly recovered and waved his hand. "I just feel that you are full of motivation now."
"That's right, I'm full of motivation now!" Rheia's face was full of smiles as she stood up with one hand on her chest and the other on her homework. "I love learning, and learning makes me happy. Can't I?"
"Two days ago, you still had the attitude of going with the flow and giving up on life."
"Did I? Was it that obvious?! "Rheia was shocked, and then she waved her hand." Who cares, that was just a moment of bad mood! There's not so much hesitation in this world. Our family tradition is to fight, and I've thought it through. Victory and defeat are all in the blink of an eye, and fighting requires real skill. Once I graduate from primary school, I'll go and chop the Mad Lord into pieces. It's so easy to solve all problems at the source! "
Hao Ren was stunned by Rheia's domineering speech, and could not think of anything to say for three seconds. Rheia, on the other hand, stood there in a daze for a while before she shook her head vigorously, took a deep breath, and muttered, "Tsk … talking too much to mom and got affected …"
"What?" Hao Ren did not catch what she said.
"Nothing, I was just talking to myself." Rheia waved her hand as she walked out from behind the desk. "Say, why are you suddenly looking for me? Does the god of your universe have something to tell me? "
Hao Ren quickly took out the bracelets from his Dimensional Pocket. "Oh, here it is. I'm here to give you something. Take this, and you can use it to establish a connection with my universe! You can even go see my superior directly, and this is much more efficient than letting someone pass the message or exchanging text messages! "
Rheia took one of the metal rings in surprise. The ring's shape and size were just right for her to put on. "What is this? A bracelet? The other one is for me too? "
"No, you just need to take one. The other one is the receiver, and it's called the Mass Projection Generator …"
Hao Ren then briefly introduced the name and function of the bracelets to Rheia, and he did not forget to explain the side effects and limitations of the item. Of course, he cleverly hid the word "idiot" in the process …
After he finally finished explaining the usage, Hao Ren let out a sigh and looked up at Rheia. "Got it?"
But the voice came from behind him. "Woah, so it's not just the Galacticus, the Xi Ling Celestials' stuff is awesome too!"
Hao Ren turned around in shock, and was shocked to see a figure that looked exactly like Rheia standing behind him. The figure had an almost imperceptible interference pattern and a slight dimensional distortion around it, and that was the only thing that showed that it was not the real thing, but a projection.
Hao Ren looked down and saw the "receiver" bracelet on his hand was emitting a faint white light.
He could not help but mutter, "What the heck … this learning ability …"
"It's actually not that difficult," the two Rheias said at the same time. "It's just a kind of avatar, but this avatar form … is amazing. I almost did not feel any loss of power, but the projection perfectly possesses all the sensory abilities, and my mind has been split into two … It's like I'm thinking with two minds at the same time, and while it's a little confusing, as long as I can master it … I think this thing can double my learning efficiency!"
The goddess seemed to be so addicted to learning that she could not extricate herself …
"You better get used to it first, and then just use it as a communicator." Hao Ren rubbed his forehead helplessly. "You'll really end up with schizophrenia if you use it too much. You've already done it once, don't do it again."
Rheia pouted. "Step by step, I know, I don't need you to tell me that. Oh right, let me tell you something. Just half an hour ago, Asurmen detected an energy explosion in the direction of the Dark Abyss. It should be the explosion of that 'living bomb'. "
Hao Ren's mood immediately brightened up.
