The bigger the house, the more comfortable it would be to live in it. Someone once said with a shudder that he felt like he was imprisoned every day when he opened his eyes and saw that the roof was within four meters of him. If you asked him to live in the courtyard, he would definitely feel even more uncomfortable …
The Temple of the Father was a little too big for me. It had an extra-large dining hall, an extra-large corridor, an extra-large hall, and an extra-large guest room. When I woke up this morning, I understood why the Father God didn't want to live in such a big house and insisted on getting a 20-square-meter bedroom by the porch. That night, I felt like I was sleeping in an open-air plaza.
I stood at the door in a daze for a while. After a while, I remembered that I had spent the night in the Temple of the Father and remembered that I had hugged the doll to sleep out of habit. Then, I hurried back to look for the doll girl. After searching for a long time, I finally found her under the pillow. How did she sneak under the pillow when we were sleeping? How did I not notice her for the whole night?
I put the still dazed doll on my shoulder and watched as she hugged my head subconsciously to stabilize herself. Then, she strode out of the indoor stadium-like guest room. I cursed in my heart how passionate the people who were responsible for the construction of the Temple of the Father had built this place in the first place. At the same time, I thought about what I should do today: Maybe I should go and take a look at the Protoss's deep-diving experiment port, or find the 30 military experts to understand their progress. Of course, I hoped that everything would be carried out in an orderly manner. That way, I wouldn't have to go and join in the fun. Then, I could spend a few days here on vacation.
Along the way, I asked a few guards before I found the Father God who was sitting on the balcony. The God World's Big Boss was in the most lazy state of the day. He wore a loose white robe and sat in the middle of the half-moon balcony. There was something that looked like a chess set on the small table in front of him. He was so focused on the chess game in front of him that he didn't notice that someone was approaching him. One side of the semi-circular balcony was open to the outside. Bright sunlight shone on the Father God's face, making him look like a retired cadre wearing pajamas and basking in the sun.
I moved closer to take a look. Naturally, I didn't understand the chess game that I had never seen before. I couldn't help but mutter, "What's the point of playing chess?"
God Father smiled mysteriously. "Playing chess requires a state of mind. It doesn't matter who the opponent is."
I picked up the cat opposite God Father and said, "The problem is, you should at least choose a primate. Even if you win …"
Before I could finish my sentence, I saw that the other half of Father God's face was covered in small pieces of paper. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I've been losing for a long time."
At this time, the little black cat in my hand began to struggle violently. It twisted its head at a magical angle and bit me. Then, the little thing nimbly jumped to the ground and turned into a little girl. She bowed and greeted me, "Hello uncle, I'm a primate!"
Only now did I realize that the little black cat who was playing chess with Father God was actually Cyndia. Out of the two little princesses in the God Realm, she was the one with the special talent of being a naughty child. Speaking of which, why was this little girl always so surprising no matter when she appeared?
God Father reached out and wiped off the small pieces of paper on his face. He chuckled and pointed at Cyndia. "This child's chess skills are better than mine. When we were playing chess today, she said that she would give me a handicap with both hands, so I believed her. I didn't expect that she would turn into a cat and use her claws to play with me."
I raised my shoulder and shook the little doll who was still rubbing her eyes in a daze. "Look at her daughter. She's so much smarter than you. If you had learned a few more moves, wouldn't you have been tricked by Liliana all the time?"
The little doll blinked and glanced at Cyndia. The two princesses exchanged a historic look. Then, the one on my shoulder commented, "Your sister once said that this type of child is called a naughty child. No matter how smart she is, she will only trick her father."
God Father and I were stunned at the same time.
Then, the two fathers who had raised naughty children looked at each other for a long time. Talking about naughty children made them cry …
I took the little doll off my shoulder and let her play with Cyndia. God Father chatted with me as he tidied up the chessboard on the table. "How was your sleep last night?"
I thought about the huge house that looked like an open-air plaza when I slept and replied tactfully, "It was alright. It was just that it was a little too spacious. I had to walk for half a day to get to the door. Speaking of which, I didn't see such a big house at your place the last time I was here."
"That was where I originally slept. It was for you to experience life." God Father's smile was subtle. "The house that the children built for me is getting bigger and bigger. Recently, Qian Yuhao is planning to build a palace for me according to the dragon race's standards … I was thinking that I might as well not stay at home for a few days. It should be the same to hug my blanket and sleep on the prairie in the east. These naughty children …"
I originally thought that I had more naughty children than God Father. After all, God Father only had two daughters. But now, I realized that wasn't the case. There were so many races in the God Realm that were basically created or promoted by God Father. In theory, they were all God Father's children. Based on the Star Domain Protoss's usual unreliable personality, they could be categorized as naughty children. Thinking about it this way, God Father's image in my heart instantly grew bigger. At most, I could only raise half a dozen naughty children at home. The leader of the God Realm in front of me was raising them according to their race! When I heard her sigh with deep meaning, my heart trembled along with her …
"Have you decided when to send out the troops?" I sat opposite God Father. "Last night, I communicated with Sandora. She already knows about the situation here. She also agrees with the plan to send out the troops. The Imperial Army can be mobilized at any time."
"No hurry, no hurry." Talking about such a big matter like the Protoss's external war, God Father smiled unhurriedly. Even his words were slow. "Let's wait for a few days. Let's wait for the advance troops that we sent out two days ago to lie in ambush near the Abyss Region."
I looked at him in surprise. "Why do you look like you're not in a hurry at all? Aren't you angry? "
"That's two different things." God Father smiled. "Because the fire is big, we have to burn it in the most appropriate place. Now isn't the best time to start the war. No matter what, the Fallen Apostles aren't stupid. They know that the Protoss can't be provoked. So, they must be on guard now. If we immediately send out the troops, we will only bite the hard bone. Let's wait for a while. I will continue to make preparations for the expedition. In two days, I will send out the next batch of expeditionary troops. The opponent will think that the Protoss is focusing on the expedition and has no interest in starting the war for the time being. It won't be too late for us to take action then. "
I felt that it made sense. It seemed that God Father's personality was indeed calmer than mine. However, I was still a little worried. "Do you think that the Fallen Apostles will fall for such a simple trick?"
"Not all of them will fall for it, but there will definitely be some who will be confused." God Father chuckled. "Everyone knows that the Protoss's priority is to go on an expedition every once in a while. However, no one knows how much of an impact this periodic expedition will have on the Protoss. So, the Fallen Apostles can't be sure if the Protoss will really endure for the expedition. I will pretend to endure it. How will they judge whether the Protoss is faking it or not? As long as a portion of them are confused, the wait will be worth it. You have to learn this: no matter when, the one who can wait will be the one who laughs in the end. "
I knew that this was the most valuable lesson a wily old fox that had lived for countless years could give to a wily old fox that was about to live for countless years. I immediately nodded in admiration. "I understand. However, are you sure that this isn't because you have a procrastination disorder like me?"
God Father: "… Cough, cough …"
Of course, saying that I have a procrastination disorder was a joke. However, the patience and tenacity of a Void Creature was definitely a universal talent. Looking at God Father's leisurely expression, I knew that there were many aspects that I still had to learn.
"Right, come with me. There is something that I want you to see today." God Father suddenly stood up and waved his hand to the side. "Cyndia! Daddy is going out to play with my sister. Don't bully her. "
Then, I saw Cyndia in her little black cat form running around in circles not far away. The 92.3cm tall little doll was riding on the back of the little cat flaunting its prowess. "Go! Go! "
This time, it was my turn to shout. "Little Lamp! Don't bully Cyndia! "
The two little fellows shouted together. "No, we are just playing around!"
The daily life of a naughty child was really colorful.
I was rather curious as to what God Father wanted to bring me to see. In the end, after following him around the temple for half a day and going through a few teleportations, we arrived at a familiar place.
It was a tranquil crystal-like lake. On the shore of the lake was an endless crystal forest. Everything in the surroundings was shrouded in a faintly discernible layer of mysterious light. The entire space in the distance was a stretch of chaos. I couldn't see the sky, nor could I see any other floating continents.
This was the "bottom level" of the God Realm that I had been to before. It was the initial cornerstone space of the Star Field.
I looked at the surrounding crystal forest and the calm lake shrouded in a thin layer of light. I was a little curious. "What are we doing here?"
"Do you still remember that there is a door to the Chaos Abyss here?" God Father led me to the center of the crystal lake. "Actually, I recently thought of something. Then, I studied this door and discovered a very puzzling situation."
In the "bottom level" of the God Realm, there was a gigantic door to the Chaos Abyss. It was so ancient that even God Father couldn't tell how long it had existed. This was a fact that would frighten anyone who heard of it. However, I had known about it a long time ago and had even seen it with my own eyes. It was right here, located in the most basic layer of the God Realm, under the surface of this crystal lake.
"Speaking of which, I'm still quite surprised. Back then, you actually built your home on top of the door to the Chaos Abyss. This is equivalent to building the entire God Realm on top of the door to the Chaos Abyss," I muttered as I followed God Father to the center of the lake. This lake had a miraculous characteristic. Even though it looked like a lake, when you stepped on its "surface," you would discover that not only would you not sink, your shoes wouldn't even get wet. This lake wasn't water at all, but an indescribable substance. When you stepped on it, it would create circles of ripples. However, if you bent down and tried to pick up the substance in the lake, you would discover that as your hand rose higher, the substance would quickly turn from liquid to a kind of light. In the end, it would turn into the light fog that could be seen everywhere in the entire crystal forest. It was truly magical. This place was as beautiful as a dream. I felt that if I brought Little Bubble here, she would probably go crazy with joy on the spot …
"Back then, when I was building this house, I was young and ignorant." God Father shrugged. "Later on, I thought that living on top of the door to the Chaos Abyss would be a little unsettling, so I thought about moving. However, I have procrastination. By the time I finally made up my mind, I had already created all four major God Systems … If I were to move again, it would require a lot of manpower. I saw that this door to the Chaos Abyss didn't pose any other danger, so I continued to delay until today."
I was rendered speechless.
Which one of you could train your procrastination to such an extent! God Father had procrastinated for a total of four cycles!
We soon arrived at the door to the Chaos Abyss. This mystical and strange door was located right below the lake, separated from the outside world by a layer of "lake water." When I stepped on the surface of the lake, I even had the feeling of "What if I suddenly fall?" However, this kind of worry was actually unnecessary. God Father used his procrastination disorder to prove that this door was actually countless times safer than it looked. Furthermore, this strange layer of "lake water" also guaranteed that no one would actually fall into the door.
"What's wrong with this thing?" I suppressed the strange feeling in my heart and looked down at the most ancient door to the Chaos Abyss. It was emitting an unpleasant weak aura that made me slightly uncomfortable. However, compared to the other Chaos Abyss reactions, this thing was much more "docile."
"According to your research results, all the 'opposite' side of the Chaos Abyss should be a common space, right?" God Father squatted down and lightly touched the surface of the lake with his finger. Circles of light rippled from his finger and rapidly expanded in all directions at an abnormal speed. "However, the situation behind this door seems to be different."
I was stunned for a moment. Then, I squatted down with God Father and used my finger to poke the black "door" that looked like a mirage in the lake. "Don't scare me. What do you mean by the situation behind this door is different?"
"This door has been hibernating peacefully at the 'base' of the God Realm for many years. A long time ago, I was also interested in researching it. However, after that, I almost forgot about its existence. Or rather, I took its existence for granted." God Father wasn't in a hurry to answer my question. As he spoke, he revealed an expression of reminiscence. "No matter how strange something is, you will get used to it after being under your nose for trillions of years. This door is like that. It was only recently that your deep diving project and the matter of the 'discontinuity zone' reignited my interest in this door. Since deep diving requires a stable experimental harbor, what else could be more suitable than this' docile 'Chaos Abyss Door? "
I looked around in bewilderment. Only then did I realize that there seemed to be many more buildings in the crystal forest that hadn't been there before. I could even see mysterious facilities that looked like floating obelisks in the distance. Previously, I had always thought that this was some new furniture that God Father had recently made on a whim. I didn't expect that this place had already been used as a deep diving experimental harbor. "You conducted a deep diving experiment here?!"
"Yes, on a very small scale." God Father nodded. "As you can see, there are some more things around. The scale of the deep diving experiment was very small. I felt like I was practicing swimming in my bathtub at home …"
Sweat beaded on my forehead. "Don't use so many rhetorical tricks at this time. So, you are saying that you discovered something under this door during your deep diving? "
"Come, let's go down and take a look," God Father said. Finally, he stopped poking at the surface of the lake that he had almost stirred out of the landscape painting. Then, I saw that the entire crystal lake began to ripple with layers of silver light. A whirlpool that was emitting silver light was rapidly expanding a hundred meters in front of us. "Just jump down from there. I'll jump first, you can do whatever you want …"
I gaped at the Chief Boss of the God World, who had an eager expression on his face. "Damn … You must be joking, right? Don't tell me that you Protoss don't even use any equipment during deep diving? Do you just jump down like this? "
"Of course, in most cases, we need to use equipment." God Father pulled me forward. "However, the situation of this door is special. Other than giving off a sense of danger, it doesn't cause any harm to the surroundings. We have tested it with all kinds of things. After that, we also sent people in and confirmed that normal Protoss can move around on the surface safely. As for Void Creatures like you and me, we are completely unaffected by it and can move freely in the deeper areas. Of course, the opposite is also true. Because of the special situation of this door, it is difficult for Void Creatures to activate their natural talent of destroying the Abyss. As long as you don't actively release your power, this door will not conflict with your power. You don't have to worry about collapsing the foundation of my home. "
As I followed him forward, I was surprised by all kinds of novelty. God Father didn't tell me about these things the last time I came here. Also, I didn't believe that he didn't discover these characteristics of this Abyss Door in the past. So, I quickly had a lot of questions in my heart. But before I could open my mouth to ask, I felt my vision blur. I had already entered the environment of the Abyss.
This was my second time entering the Gate of the Abyss. The last time I did this was when I was in the Empire's Deep Submergence Experimental Port. I jumped down to save a ship that was in danger. I could still remember the feeling of that time. That chaotic, unpleasant, anti-order, and absurd "space" almost made me dizzy. I felt that I would never want to jump into the same gate again in my lifetime. But this time, I was pulled down by Father God.
But when I woke up from my daze, I realized that the surrounding environment was different from the last time I entered the Abyss Door.
There wasn't such a strong sense of chaos. There wasn't the feeling of contradiction and strangeness after leaving the world of Order. Although the surroundings were still filled with unpleasant auras, they were only unpleasant. They didn't show any signs of destruction or rejection towards me, an individual of Order. My surroundings were dark … Yes, it was actually dark. It wasn't the appearance of "darkness" because it was indescribable. But underneath this door, there was a real —
Dark space.
