In the resting area of the Basilica of the Yggdrasill, Y 'zaks chuckled as he looked at Hao Ren, who was slumped on the sofa like a salted fish. "You guys have been gone for quite some time. I thought you would be back in a few days, but you guys have been gone for more than a month."
"Things in L 'Haronne are too complicated, and my biggest headache now is that I can't even write a report." Hao Ren had a lifeless look on his face. "Thankfully, everything was settled in the end, and we've dug up some incredible treasures. We've also given Rheia a long-term goal."
"I saw what you guys brought back." Y 'zaks nodded. "I heard it's to be sent to the assembly plant of the Creation's Engine."
Hao Ren nodded. "That's right. With that, the Creation's Engine is complete, and the trump card needed to attack the Umbral Realm is ready. But then again, I didn't expect you guys to be here. I thought you guys were resting at home as usual. "
Y 'zaks smiled as he looked at the Nangong siblings who were chatting with Lily, and Rollie who was jumping up and down with Y' lisabet. He shrugged. "There's no point in staying on Earth all day, so we'll come here every now and then. We've been involved in all sorts of things in the Plane of Dreams for the past few years, so we know the situation better. Salaman and his guardian army had just returned, and they would often ask us about things. "
As he said that, he had a slightly helpless look on his face. "Of course, another reason is to walk the cat … She'll go crazy if she doesn't go out for three days. Instead of letting her cause trouble in the city, it's better to let her come here."
Hao Ren stared blankly at the cat girl who had climbed to the top of the vines not far away, and found it hard to believe. "She's still not used to living in the human world? I remember that a while ago, she even learned how to buy groceries and clothes in the city by herself … "
"That's because she's suppressing her instincts." Vivian's voice came from behind Hao Ren. "She's obediently buying things just so she can eat dried fish after completing her mission. Other than that, she doesn't hold back when she's messing around. After all, she was a stray cat back then."
As he spoke, the cat girl, who was crawling along the vines inside the World Tree, suddenly scurried over and circled around Hao Ren. "Are you talking to me, meow? Are you talking about me? "
Hao Ren pressed his hand on the cat girl's head. "Yes, yes, yes. You are everywhere. Your ears are as sharp as Lily's … Eh?!"
An indescribable palpitation suddenly struck him, and Hao Ren couldn't help but stop what he was doing.
Not only him, but everyone in the temple felt the impact at that moment. Everyone, including the busy sprites, stopped and looked around in confusion.
The palpitation was indescribable, and there was no telling where it came from. At that moment, it felt like you were in a dark and chaotic world, and the world was shrouded in mist, and you could not tell what was going on around you. But you could clearly feel that somewhere in the depths of the mist, an unprecedentedly powerful monster had awoken, and it had noticed all living beings in the mist …
The next second, the palpitation quickly faded, and a ray of light appeared in the hall. After the light faded, Rheia stood before everyone.
Y 'zaks frowned as he looked at the goddess of creation. "Could that be …"
"The 'fetal movement' of the Mad Lord," Rheia quickly said. "The warning device I set in the Umbral Realm has sent out a warning signal to the entire universe."
Hao Ren quickly stopped stroking the cat, and the lazy vibe was gone. He quickly got up and grabbed the MDT beside him. "To the comms hall!"
The comms hall was also located inside the Basilica of the World Tree, but its structure and style was completely different from the rest of the temple. It was filled with light blue crystals and silver-white alloy frames, and various Xi Ling-style facilities were displayed. Rather than saying it was a part of the temple, it was more like an extension of CARS, and that was indeed the case.
The comms hall was a projection of CARS, and its purpose was to integrate CARS and the various facilities set up by Hao Ren in the Plane of Dreams into the same data link, and establish a connection with the Basilica of the World Tree and the various information networks left behind by the goddess of creation. The various temporary data interfaces that Hao Ren had set up in the Basilica of the World Tree had now been integrated into this hall, and its existence had improved the efficiency and stability of the various projects.
In the hall, Hao Ren saw the holographic images of Asurmen and Lemendusa, and it was obvious that the moment the 'universal warning signal' lit up, the two were already online waiting.
And after Hao Ren entered the hall, the other holographic devices also activated one by one, and Muru, Loken, Salaman, and the rest appeared on the screen.
"Intelligence has been confirmed. The Dark Abyss is sending out a level one warning signal, and the warning signal comes from the oldest defense system set up by the goddess." Asurmen's voice was the first to ring out. It was responsible for monitoring the Dark Abyss and maintaining regular contact with the Nightwatchers, so it was only natural for it to be the first to report. "Also, we have contacted the Nightwatchers urgently, and confirmed that the defense layer where the system is located has gone silent after sending out the level one warning signal, and is now completely uncontactable."
Rheia frowned. "We can confirm that the defense layer is completely gone … What about the Nightwatchers stationed there?"
"Due to the timely evacuation, the Nightwatchers have all been moved to the middle defense line, and are currently retreating to the outer zone in batches. There are no casualties."
"That's good …" Rheia finally let out a sigh of relief. "I should have set up another alarm system … no response yet?"
"Not at the moment."
Hao Ren looked at Rheia. "What level is a level one warning signal?"
"Next to the highest level zero," Rheia said quietly. "Level one means that all containment measures are about to or have already broken through the critical point, and the prison is completely losing its function, and at level zero … level zero is no longer a warning signal, it is an announcement to the entire universe that all seals have been completely destroyed, containment has failed, and the Mad Lord is fully active. Rather than calling it an alarm, it is more like a will."
Hao Ren heard the few behind him subconsciously took a deep breath, and he was no exception. "So a level one warning is actually equivalent to the highest level … How long until it reaches level zero?"
Rheia did not answer immediately, but turned around to look at the large amount of data sent by Asurmen. Countless holographic images surrounded her, and the jumping parameters and curves depicted the state of the collapsing dimension at the center of the universe. After a few minutes of calculation, she turned around and said, "We have at most two months, and this is taking into account the sluggish effect of the prison's remaining structure on the Mad Lord, as well as the maximum time the Nightwatchers can buy. But the Nightwatchers cannot be lost in there, so if the situation deteriorates, we may not even have two months. "
"Then prepare for the worst-case scenario," Hao Ren said quickly, and turned to Lemendusa. "When will the Creation's Engine be completed?"
"The interface to the Heart of God is complete, and the internal containment structure of the Creation's Engine will be modified in three days, and the assembly will be completed in ten days," Lemendusa said in one breath. "In this period, we can complete the driver rewrite and the database reset, but I'm afraid we won't have much chance to test it after that … It will be sent to the battlefield as a test machine."
"That's fine, the goddess of annihilation only has a test machine," Hao Ren said, and turned to Muru. "What's the situation on the various ecosystems?"
In the beginning, Muru was only the 'gardener' of Tannagost. However, as the ecosystem of Tannagost slowly got on track, Muru's scope of work was further expanded. He began to be responsible for organizing and monitoring the information of planets with ecosystems found in the Plane of Dreams.
As the old First Born network had been destroyed, the monitoring of these ecosystems was done by the new 'Zorm Network'.
The so-called Zorm Network was a network that used the antenna system of CARS and the droid swarm as a carrier, and was controlled by Zorm's mental projection. On the home planet of the Executors, this technology was first used and approved, and now Hao Ren was expanding it to every ecosystem in the archive, including Holletta and Io.
"All ecosystems are normal, no signs of the Mad Lord's corruption."
Hao Ren nodded. "Focus on monitoring planets with intelligent life, especially their dreams. Once there is a large-scale disorder or the infiltration of nightmares, activate the mental filter."
The unique infection and spread of the Mad Lord was especially dangerous to all sentient life forms, especially when these beings had the ability to dream, and the danger would be magnified, so Hao Ren had no choice but to install a mental filter near every ecosystem as insurance.
But speaking of high-end, the mental filter was actually just a 'Divine Focusing Lens', and its purpose was to absorb an appropriate amount of energy from the Divine Resonance Network that Rheia had built, and after focusing it on the ecosystems, it would either block or interfere with the power of the Mad Lord.
In a short period of time, this' mental filtering 'device was indeed effective, but if it was turned on for a long period of time, this power that mortals could not withstand would cause a destructive blow to the ecosystem of the planet, and even the slightest damage would turn all sentient creatures into idiots.
So the mental filter was only allowed to be activated when it was confirmed that the power of the Mad Lord had begun a large-scale corruption of the planet, and it could only be activated for a very short period of time.
"Be it strengthening the monitoring of the ecosystems or setting up the mental filter, they are all just auxiliary measures." After arranging a series of countermeasures, Hao Ren turned to Rheia and said, "What will decide the future of this universe is still in the Dark Abyss."
"Yeah … this battle was bound to happen sooner or later." Rheia sighed softly. "After so many years, it has to end."
Hao Ren nodded slightly as he looked at the holographic projection beside him, and on it was Asurmen's surveillance of the Dark Abyss.
"It's time to check out the 'boundary line'."
