Hao Ren felt that he had made two mistakes. The first mistake was that when Raven 12345 mentioned a "ritual", he really believed that the so-called conversion was a serious and serious ritual. The second mistake was when he saw the angel lady and the unfamiliar goddess who could chat so casually with Raven 12345. Even an idiot would have figured it out. How could a guy who looked so close to the goddess be normal!
The angelic lady who was the operator finally calmed down. She was in a sorry state as one of her wings was tucked behind her back while the other was drooping unnaturally and slightly trembling. But she still insisted on sitting behind her desk and started to convert Rheia's godhood.
Raven 12345 sucked in a cold breath and looked at her. "I say, are you alright? Why don't you go back and treat it while I wait for the other operators to come?"
"I'm fine, it's just a cramp. I'll just use my faith to get through it. His Majesty the Emperor is watching us." The angel lady flapped her wings while pretending to be calm. "This is a rare opportunity. Daughter of Lady Bryndis! I'm the one who handled the procedures for her to come to Xi Ling Celestials. How many years do you think it'll take for this to happen? How can I give it to someone else! "
Raven 12345 pursed her lips. "But you don't have to be so excited to the point of cramping right?"
"If it were you, how much stronger would you be?"
As they spoke, the procedures were almost completed. As Rheia's identification information was entered, the pillar of light that separated Rheia from the outside world gradually thinned, and the figure of the goddess of creation became clear. Hao Ren looked at the scene curiously. It felt surreal. "That's … it?"
"How much more complicated?" Raven 12345 glanced at him. "The more advanced the technology, the simpler and more casual it is. An advanced spaceship only needs a pilot and a set of neural interface to operate, but the earlier models needed hundreds of crew members and dozens of control panels to barely leave the port. A divine spell that can take effect with just a signature is the best. The kind of ritual that needs half a ton of materials, four guardians, a magic circle drawn on the ground, and the right conditions to cast the spell for two hours, and an unlucky person to be sacrificed in the end is the lowest of the low in our eyes."
What the goddess said made so much sense that Hao Ren could only say one thing. "I haven't said anything yet … and this is the first time I've seen someone as shameless as you call someone lowly …"
"Stop talking nonsense." Raven 12345 glared at him, then knocked on the table and pointed to a form on the table. "Come here. The guarantor and the introducer need to sign their names here, and it will take effect. From now on, you will be the witness of Rheia's divine identity."
As Hao Ren obediently signed the form, he casually asked, "Divine witness? Damn, that sounds high-end. Are there any benefits? "
"You said it yourself. The benefit is that the title sounds high-end, and you can brag about it on the forums …"
Hao Ren was speechless.
While he was a little speechless, he still wrote his name at the end of the form, and as the last stroke landed on the paper, the faintly glowing form suddenly glowed blue, and the entire paper disintegrated into countless floating blue particles before quickly dissipating into the air.
"The divine conversion is complete, and Rheia is now officially transferred into the Xi Ling Celestials. The relevant void imprint and information entanglement will be completely switched in twenty-four hours," the angel said matter-of-factly (it would have been better if her wings were not twitching behind her back). "Ah, considering that she used mass projection to establish the connection, this process may be slightly delayed, but it will not take more than three days."
"The goddess of annihilation won't be able to build the engine in three days," Hao Ren mumbled, and turned to look at Rheia who was walking out of the circle of light. "How is it? How do you feel? "
"That's it?" Rheia's words were exactly the same as Hao Ren's. "I thought there would be a complicated ritual, and a bunch of spellcasting and whatnot …"
Hao Ren immediately winked at Raven 12345, as if to say, "What do you think? I'm not the only one who has the same question, right?"
The straight goddess's response was an eye roll, as if to say, "She's a wild goddess who never went to school, and you're on the same level as her?"
The angel looked at Raven 12345 and then at Hao Ren, and had no idea what kind of communication the two had reached …
Raven 12345 and Hao Ren exchanged eye contact before returning to the circular platform, which was now a circular floor in the hall, and waved at the angel. "Then we'll be on our way. We'll talk to you again when we have time."
The angel also waved back. "Best not. If you have the time to talk to someone, I sincerely suggest you come back and fix your brain."
The scene before them changed, and the hexagonal hall burst like a bubble without a sound, while the platform beneath their feet flew away from the strange dimension supported by the power of the Raven Goddess. In just a few seconds, Hao Ren and the rest returned to Raven 12345's grand office.
After a simple check of her condition, Rheia still felt that what had happened was unreal. "Have I changed my godhood? That way, I'm immune to the damage from the Creation's Engine? "
"Of course. The Creation's Engine that you've created may be powerful, but its technology is too primitive. It's like a powerful catapult, and there are too many ways to avoid it." Raven 12345 was very straightforward. "Changing your godhood won't give you any special feeling. The only practical change is that you can directly connect to the mental network of the Xi Ling Celestials. But due to the uniqueness of the Plane of Dreams, this connection is now blocked, so there's no change. But you are now a true member of the Xi Ling Celestials, there's no doubt about that. "
Rheia thought for a moment, and suddenly felt a little worried. "Ah, I've just given up my identity as a god of the Galacticus Realms and changed my godhood to that of the Xi Ling Celestials … Isn't that a bad thing? Won't my mother be angry? "
Raven 12345 was shocked, and she thought to herself that this out-of-school kid was not stupid after all. She could still react, but she did not show it on her face. Instead, she looked even more serious than before. "There are priorities. If it's to protect the world, the Celestials can even give up their lives, so what's a mere change of godhood?"
Rheia thought about it, and she had no more questions.
"But I still have to remind you." Raven 12345 saw that the topic had passed, and quickly changed the subject. "While the threat of the Creation's Engine has been avoided, you still can't let your guard down. I've checked its data, and even without the ability to kill a god, the Creation's Engine itself is still a powerful weapon. Once the core filled with divine energy is directed and released, it's power is no less than a full-powered strike from me, and this full-powered strike … you definitely won't be able to take it head-on."
Rheia naturally knew that, and she nodded seriously. "Don't worry, I won't let my guard down. And I've already given all the data on the Creation's Engine to Hao Ren, including the completed parts of the Creation's Engine. Using these things, I think we can create a weapon that can counter the goddess of annihilation … "
Hao Ren nodded, indicating that it was as Rheia said, but he still had something to say. "While the data and the half-finished product is with me, the most crucial part of the engine, the disc array, is missing. I only have three discs with me, and the other nine have been stolen. Only three discs … even with their complementary functions, there's no way to activate the engine core."
"… This is troublesome." Raven 12345 frowned. "The support that can be sent into the Plane of Dreams from the outside world is very limited. Things like the Mass Projection Generator and a few divine textbooks are still passable, and the civilian facilities like CARS almost broke the Wall of Reality's limit the last time. As for the Creation's Engine … it's a military grade even in the Xi Ling Celestials' army, and it's not a low grade either. You can only rely on yourselves to create it in the Plane of Dreams, and I can't help you from the outside."
"The other parts of the engine are easy, including the part overseen by Lemendusa at the Gate of Solenne, it's basically completed, but those discs … even with the blueprints, it'll be difficult." Hao Ren looked at the goddess of creation, troubled. "How long will it take for you to build another batch?"
"Don't even think about it, it'll be impossible." Rheia shook her head. "The computing core is the most demanding part, and 90% of the engine's time is spent on it. Even if you prepare the materials and production line for me now, it won't be completed in a few years."
Hao Ren let out a long sigh.
But then Rheia's tone changed. "But … that was me in the past."
Hao Ren's eyes lit up. "Why do you say that?"
Rheia made a book flipping gesture. "While I was talking to you guys, my main body was at the Basilica of the World Tree looking at the Introduction to Creation practice questions. I have a feeling that once I'm done with these questions, I'll know what to do …"
Hao Ren was speechless.
Raven 12345 chimed in from the side. "See, a brainiac can really do whatever she wants …"
Hao Ren was completely convinced.
Now that the business was over, Raven 12345 took a look at the time and said, "Yo, that's pretty efficient this time. Rheia, your projection can still last for about an hour. Do you want to go see where your daughter is living?"
The "daughter" she was referring to was obviously Vivian.
Rheia had obviously been thinking about this before, and a smile appeared on her face. "Of course I'm interested, but … is it convenient?"
"Is it convenient to see him?" Raven 12345 pointed at Hao Ren. "Your daughter is living with him now."
Rheia looked at Hao Ren with a meaningful look in her eyes. "Oh, I didn't know that part of the details before …"
Hao Ren broke out in cold sweat, but he could not refute a single word. He could only look at Hao Ren, who was waiting for a good show, and lowered his head to explain to his "mother-in-law", "We are indeed living together now, but we are really together …"
Rheia thought about it seriously and asked, "If I object to the two of you being together, will you make me write eight thousand words of learning experience?"
"… Huh?" Hao Ren was speechless.
Rheia finally could not hold it in anymore. "Haha, I'm just kidding!"
