Lemendusa's emergency communication immediately made Hao Ren lose his appetite. The importance of the Creation's Engine was self-evident, and with the war on the horizon, whether or not it could be assembled and activated would directly affect the outcome of the war, and now … it had a problem?
"What's the matter?" Rheia's expression was unusually serious as she stood up. "Didn't we solve the compatibility issue with the Heart of God during the simulation test? And the hardware of the Heart of God had passed the first connection test … "
"The compatibility of the Heart of God and the Creation's Engine is fine, but the problem is with the three Gilded Discs," Lemendusa explained. "The abnormal information fluctuation was released from the discs, and we tried to reset their database, but we encountered a very strange … situation."
The "Gilded Discs" that Lemendusa mentioned were the three that Hao Ren had collected during his operation in the Plane of Dreams. While the other nine discs had been brought into the Dark Abyss by the goddess of annihilation, the other three were in Hao Ren's hands, and while they were unable to form a complete computing array, they were still installed into the nearly completed Creation's Engine to act as a secondary processor and command buffer, and these functions were rather necessary.
As the Heart of God was not the original core of the Creation's Engine, and as a product from another world's technology tree, the synchronization issues between it and the Creation's Engine were inevitable, and while the software could make the two compatible, the hardware buffering and switching were still necessary. The best solution that Lemendusa had found was to use the original core of the Creation's Engine, the Gilded Disc Array to act as the secondary processor, and this solution had been confirmed by Rheia, and was deemed to be the only solution.
Truth be told, Hao Ren would rather hear that his boss had exploded on the spot than hear that the only solution had a problem. After all, Raven 12345 would explode on the spot every few days, and there was only one Heart of God …
"A problem with the Gilded Disc … Could it be a malfunction after being out for so many years …" Rheia frowned as she mumbled, and with a wave of her hand, a glowing portal appeared beside her. "Wait there, I'll go check it out myself."
"I'll go check it out too." Hao Ren quickly followed, "While I can't help with the technology, I was the one who found the three discs, and I know a little about them."
"Vivian, come over too." Rheia suddenly turned around before stepping into the portal, and pulled Vivian up. "You might be able to help."
The three of them hurriedly opened the teleportation portal and left, leaving the guests in the banquet hall looking at each other. No one wanted to join in the fun. After all, they could not be of much help in terms of technology or events. Moreover, the matter seemed to be quite serious. Even Lily realized that this was not the time to join in the fun …
Nangong Sanba looked at the light particles left in the air after the portal disappeared, and then at the untouched 'divine kingdom delicacies' before him, and hesitantly asked, "Then … Should we continue eating?"
"Let's continue eating," Lily said as she stuffed food into her mouth, "Only when we're full will we have the energy to fight …"
Wuyue thought for a moment, "I think Mr. Landlord doesn't need us to help him fight this time, he obviously needs technical support."
Lily rolled her eyes, "When did Mr. Landlord's technical support not end in a fight?"
Everyone was speechless, and only Sanba slapped his forehead, "Damn, sometimes I really envy her worldview …"
On the other hand, Hao Ren and the other two had crossed thousands of light-years in a single step, and arrived at the Stellar Forge deep within the Solenne Nebula.
The portal's landing point was on a white platform floating deep in space. The platform was made of boulders and was a few kilometers wide, and on it were temples, towers, and giant crystal clusters of unknown purpose. The ancient stars of the Solenne Nebula shone brightly in the background, and in front of the platform floated a space structure so huge that it could take one's breath away.
It was the almost completed Creation's Engine.
In fact, the white platform beneath Hao Ren's feet was orbiting around the Creation's Engine, and it was like the latter's satellite orbiting in orbit, used to monitor and debug the most incredible divine artifact in the history of the Plane of Dreams.
The almost completed Creation's Engine now looked more like a metal planet, and the complex and mysterious internal structure had been covered by layers of thick golden shell, and the light flowing between the cracks of the shell made the metal planet look even more vibrant, and on its sturdy "steel" ground, there were countless sharp protrusions like antennas, and those were the "contacts" of the engine's laws, and around each contact were many small flying machines, and those were the engineering machines making the final adjustments to the Creation's Engine.
Lemendusa walked over with his head held high, and he bowed before Rheia, "Mother, you're here."
"Let's get straight to the point, what's the situation now?" Rheia waved her hand as she spoke quickly, "I've just sensed the state of the engine, and its energy is very chaotic … while it looks normal on the surface, most of its functions are in a rather uncoordinated state."
"Because the three Gilded Discs are quite 'uncooperative'," Lemendusa said in a low voice, "They refused to accept the commands from the Heart of God, and they are releasing a bunch of messy information … Not only is this information unable to stabilize the Creation's Engine, but it is also causing it to become even more chaotic. We now have to temporarily cut off the secondary command flow of the engine, and the chaotic energy should calm down soon. "
Rheia frowned, "How did the simulation test pass so smoothly?"
"At that time, we did not really connect the Heart of God with the Gilded Discs, and only matched the former with the latter's blueprint."
"Which means … at least from the blueprint, there is no conflict between the two." Rheia nodded, "Let me see the real thing."
"As you wish."
Under Lemendusa's control, the white platform moved to the back of the Creation's Engine, and from there, they could see a huge opening in the crust of the Creation's Engine, and a large amount of light flow and construction machinery were shuttling through the engine, and the Heart of God was floating right in front of the opening, and some distance away from the Heart of God were three tiny golden dots that were almost invisible to the naked eye, and they were the three Gilded Discs.
The originally huge Gilded Discs were just tiny dots in front of the celestial class Creation's Engine, and if not for Hao Ren's amazing eyesight, he might not even be able to see them …
"Since it was only a test installation, we did not stuff everything into the engine's core cabin," Lemendusa's voice came from above, "Luckily we left the connection lines outside, and when things went wrong, we were able to cut off the physical connection and did not cause any damage to the engine."
"Well done." Rheia nodded, and waved her hand at the Gilded Discs, and the three golden dots immediately disappeared and appeared on the white platform in the next instant. "Now let me see … what the problem is."
The three Gilded Discs quietly floated before Hao Ren, Vivian, and Rheia, the ten-meter-wide discs reflected the light of the stars in the distance, and when Rheia got close to them, the surface of the discs flashed with some unknown symbols and words.
"Everything is normal when responding … and looks like there is no external damage …" Rheia mumbled as she got closer to the discs, "The energy signature is very stable, and the runes … are slightly damaged, but it is not fatal, and is within the range of self-repair …"
She placed her hand on one of the discs, and tried to communicate with the information within the disc as she said, "To be honest, after seriously studying information cybernetics, looking back at these discs … I found that they have a lot of room for improvement. Sigh, the information cluster integration method I used back then was too cumbersome. Too bad we don't have the time now, or I'll definitely reset them all. "
Hao Ren did not reply, and instead looked at his right hand. On his right palm, a blood-like red mark was faintly appearing, and it was emitting a clear heat.
"The data seems to be intact, and the hardware is in normal condition, but …" Rheia frowned as she communicated with the discs, and suddenly let out a surprised sound. "Huh? Why does it feel like there's something extra … "
Hao Ren looked at his palm, and the red "blood mark" was so clear that it looked like it had just been imprinted there, and the crimson color was like fresh blood, and a burning sensation felt like it was branded on his soul, and could not be ignored.
By then, Vivian had also noticed the anomaly, and immediately came over and asked with concern, "What happened to you … Why did this thing appear again?"
"Eh?" Rheia finally noticed Hao Ren's action, and she took her hand off the disc as she curiously looked back, and immediately noticed the anomaly on his palm. "What's that on your hand?"
Hao Ren felt the red mark on his palm slowly calming down, and the burning sensation was also faintly discernible. He shook his hand as he explained the origin of the mark. "This thing actually has something to do with you, and it's actually left behind when I touched the Gilded Disc the last time."
After that, he told Rheia about the origin of the mark, and as he spoke about the ancient memories he saw in the illusion, he could not help but show a weird expression. "To be honest, I felt weird when I saw the illusion, and your image in the illusion was even more mysterious than my boss. Especially when you looked up, I broke out in cold sweat. You know what? I really didn't expect your real style to be like this … "
"What's wrong with my style now? I've always been like this! It's all your imagination … "Rheia said with her arms akimbo." But what you said … I really didn't expect that just the blood on the disc would leave behind such an 'illusion'? "
As she spoke, she looked at Hao Ren from head to toe, as if deep in thought. "And you have the ability to read these illusions … That's weird …"
Hao Ren scratched his head. "I think it's weird too."
"No, I just remembered …" Rheia could not help but take another look at the red mark on Hao Ren's palm. It had completely faded, but there was still a faint mark. "This blood mark …"
Hao Ren felt goosebumps all over as Rheia stared at him. "What did you think of?"
"Vivian, use your mental power to connect these three discs. I'll teach you how to do it." Rheia did not answer, but turned to Vivian and quickly instructed. She then pulled Hao Ren towards the disc. "Work with me."
The strength of a goddess was astounding, and before Hao Ren could ask anything, he was already pressed onto the surface of the disc, and at the same time, Rheia pressed her hand onto a spot nearby.
Everything happened in an instant, and Hao Ren felt a huge shock in his mind before he was plunged into darkness …
