Hao Ren and Leah came to the upper level of the World Tree Temple - this is located deep in the canopy, a vast area like a circular square, dozens of kilometers thick branches and layers of huge leaves make this place an enclosed space, but there is no darkness here, the halo emitted by the World Tree itself illuminates this huge cavity, and even makes it as bright as day, and around the circular square, hundreds of curved white curved stone pillars grow from the trunk of the giant tree, Supporting and isolating the lush foliage outside, it eventually converges into a vault-like structure above.Glowing threads dangled from the graceful stone beams, each with a tiny ball of light flying at the end of each thread, the "elves" associated with the World Tree itself, who were responsible for maintaining this vast and complex automatic system to ensure that every movement in the universe was monitored.In order to give full play to the efficiency of the World Tree system, Hao Ren has connected the data link of the Crystal Nucleus Research Station to here, so this circular square is also equivalent to an extension of the Crystal Nucleus Research Station, and Asuman can directly project his consciousness and use the processing function of the World Tree to greatly improve his own listening efficiency - it is thanks to this efficient system that he discovered the anomalies in the depths of the dark abyss in the first place.Asumaman's image as if a nebula was shining appeared in the center of the square, and a pleasant voice sounded directly in Hao Ren's ears: "I have observed a total of three energy fluctuations, each with an interval of less than three seconds, the first and second fluctuations are relatively weak, and the third is quite powerful, even to the extent that it can be directly observed without the help of a gain antenna.The Lord of Mad will undoubtedly be traumatized by this burst of energy, and the jailers who stand there will be given a respite. ”"The first and second fluctuations should be that the Goddess of World Destruction is trying to suppress her divine power, but how can she suppress it - it's a miracle that she can hold on until now before exploding," Hao Ren, as a demolition expert, commented quite professionally, "This explosion, she will lose half her life if she doesn't die." ”Leah, on the other hand, was thinking of something else: "We've sent in a good signal - the guards there can tell that they haven't been forgotten, and that someone is out there trying to figure out how to deal with the Lord of the Mad Hustle." ”Hao Ren nodded, and looked at Assuman again: "Are there any other changes besides?"
”"There's better news," Asuman said with good news, but his tone was as unemotional as ever, "The information relay station set up by the drone swarm near the Dark Abyss has been successfully activated, and it has worked beyond expectations, I have begun to receive clearer interstellar whispers, and at one point I can briefly hear the conversation of the sentry sentries of the starfolk - although the connection was not successful, it is already certain that the sentry system in the cage is still there, and the ancient line of defense has not been lost. ”Hao Ren couldn't help but take a deep breath, and the progress in this area made him feel a little excited—the relay station was really useful!
The information isolation of the Dark Abyss from the outside world has the possibility of being broken without breaking the seal, and if you can successfully establish contact with the sentinels inside......
The improvement of the situation is not a little bit!"
Very well, your work is very important, and you must not relax," he said with relief, "I will let the drone speed up the construction of more relay stations and ancillary facilities, and maybe soon we will be able to successfully establish contact with your compatriots." ”After learning about the dark abyss cage, Hao Ren hung up the connection with Asuman, and the holographic projection in mid-air gradually dimmed, and then he looked at the goddess of creation beside him: "How is the construction of a stable passage to the dark realm?"
”"It's almost finished, but it still needs to be adjusted, the current transmission is very energy-consuming and has the problem of misaligned coordinates," Leah said as she reached out and gently touched the crystal inlaid on the surface of a stone pillar beside her, "As you suggested, I'll open the passage here-" As her words fell, a slight buzz rang out in the circular square.Immediately afterwards, the hundreds of curved and closed white stone beams above the square entered the state of energy one after another, and stretched out like soft vines to the surroundings, and a circular hole hundreds of meters wide slowly opened above the hemispherical dome, and a layer of shining light covered the hole, and energy surged.It was a portal—a portal that led directly into the dark realm.The dark realm is the most special part of the dream plane, in fact, it does not belong to the dream plane at all, but is an independent world that "sticks" to the world barrier of the dream plane, as if parasitic universe, which also leads to the problem that the portal that is usually only used for transmission in this world cannot be directly connected between the two, but this is no longer a problem after getting the magical "road marker", through the help of the huge computing power and surging energy of the world tree, even without the assistance of Nolan, It can also open a stable passage to the dark realm, and this one in front of you is the final result.Hao Ren only asked Leah about this matter, and then he never intervened again, but he didn't expect that now that only two days have passed, Leah has built the portal to the point where it is barely usable.But in fact, it's normal to think about it: the road sign to the dark realm itself was calculated by Leah herself, plus her learning ability inherited from her own mother, she learned everything she should learn according to the instructions of the World Tree for two days, and then she only needs to bind the road sign to the World Tree, for this self-taught goddess of creation......
It's really not that difficult."
When the portal is completely stabilized, we will start an investigation into the planet of Rahrien," Hao Ren said of his plan, "I went back and discussed it with our boss, and we both thought that the entire dark realm was full of mysteries, and Rahrien might be at the center of the mystery.We even guessed that the Lord of the Hustle was not exclusive to the Dream Plane at all, and the so-called Dark Realm might be the real first victim......"
There is no need to keep this information secret, so Hao Ren told the Goddess of Creation one by one, and the more the latter listened, the widening of his eyes, and after listening to the speculation about the "ecological model" of the Lord of the Hustle, she finally couldn't help it: "Are you saying that the Lord of the Hustle will parasitize the past universe by universe, and spread like a virus?!"
”"It's uncertain whether it will spread or not, but the Dark Realm has at least proven that it has the ability to find new victims after destroying a world," Hao Ren nodded, "To be honest, the harm has suddenly increased a lot. ”"W-I feel hairy," Leah rubbed her arms together, as if the gods were getting goosebumps (maybe it really does?).
）"Such a dangerous thing......
Then we have to kill it quickly, and we have to kill it completely......"
Hao Ren suddenly remembered something at this time: "By the way, I have another thing to find you - about the Creation Engine." ”"The genesis engine?
What's wrong with it?
”Leah frowned, "You're having trouble researching it?"
”"It's the golden discs inside the engine," Hao Ren waved his hand, "We know that the golden discs inside the engine are the key to making it run, but to be honest, I've only found a small part of them now, and there are nine discs missing."
We've vetoed the plan to use engines to destroy the Manmen, but those discs are still indispensable as the core of divine power operations - so I'd like to ask you where the rest of the discs are hidden?
”Hearing this, Leah actually showed a look of surprise: "You said the rest of the discs?
Aren't those discs inside the engine core I gave you earlier?
Just the engine core extracted from the Suluon Gate last time......
""You said the disc was in there?"
”Hao Ren looked even more surprised than Leah, "Are you sure?"
”"Of course, I'm sure that the core area of the Genesis Engine was the fastest in the beginning, and I installed the completed Divine Power Transformation Skeleton and Discs, in fact, the rest of the discs were also planned to be installed - if the war could have been delayed for a few months, I would have assembled it, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes......
But all in all, those nine golden discs are what I saw fit into the core with my own eyes......"
Leah said as she noticed the change in Hao Ren's expression, and her speech gradually slowed down, "Wait a minute, should it be ......"
"That's it," Hao Ren felt a dull pain in his back molars, "The disc is gone—the slot in the engine core is empty." ”Leah's eyes widened, and her small body tensed, "I'm sure I'm not mistaken, I did put them in there!"
”Hao Ren smiled bitterly: "Then there is only one explanation - someone stole them again......"
"Someone ......"
Leah blinked, "Who can do this?"
After the explosion of the Kingdom of God, the engine was swept into the Dark Realm along with the Gate of Surun, and the disc had been ...... until then Damn it!
”She seemed to think of something, and her face suddenly became gloomy.Hao Ren also thought of the same thing, he gritted his teeth: "It seems that we thought of a piece - if anyone other than you could know the secret of the Creation Engine, it was only the Goddess of World Destruction who was detonated by us......"
Leah grabbed a strand of silver hair on her chest with some irritability: "But how could she!"
She obviously fell into a deep sleep with me, even if the Gate of Surune was next to us at that time, she could ...... in her sleep" Hao Ren looked at the goddess and couldn't help but remind him: "You were also sleeping at the time, but didn't you still reshape Rahrien in your dreams?"
”Leah was silent.Hao Ren sighed: "The sleeping god can also do a lot of things, that goddess of destruction......
Although she is a pollutant, she also has the power of a true God.Looks like we've got another trouble this time. ”The one most likely to take away those nine golden discs was undoubtedly the Goddess of World Destruction, and she couldn't have taken those discs so hard to take them back to tease the dog, so what would she do with them?"
Nine discs......
It already accounts for three-quarters of the entire core system, and even if there are three less, those nine discs can use the redundant complementarity mechanism to complete most of the computational tasks," Leah's tone was extremely serious, "The most complex and time-consuming disks in the entire genesis engine are those discs, and the rest can actually ensure that the engine barely starts even if it cuts corners......"
"What do you think she plans to do with those things?"
”Leah took a deep breath and pointed at herself.
