To be honest, Lily deserved the lightning strike she deserved. If she said that Raven 12345 was mentally ill, she would definitely not be able to withstand the lightning strike. Who made Husky speak without thinking and directly question the intelligence of the goddess? Although Hao Ren also felt that what the girl said made sense.
But whether there is a problem with the setting of Raven 12345, or the complexity of the situation this time is beyond expectations, the crucial crystal core has been lost, and the loss of the core is still secondary, what is important is an extremely critical clue :
This big rift in the Rift Nebula is very likely to lead to a certain relic of the Creation Goddess!
"Can you build a new core?" Hao Ren looked at Raven 12345 expectantly. From what the other person said, he could tell that it took the goddess sister two hours to make that thing. It didn't seem like it was too complicated.
Unexpectedly, Raven 12345 shook his head: "There is only one core."
"Can't make a new one?" Hao Ren was quite surprised, "Didn't you say that it only took two hours to make that thing?"
"The processing is very simple, but there is only one raw material." Raven 12345 squinted at Hao Ren, "Do you know what that crystal is made of?"
Hao Ren shook his head.
"It's something that fell out of the Rift Nebula." Raven 12345 pointed at the spinning chaotic void in space. "More than two thousand years ago, the wall of reality collapsed here, and the entire galaxy was torn to pieces. In the gap, a large amount of matter from the dream plane gushed out like a fountain. Almost all of these matter were annihilated by the law and turned into primitive energy, but only one thing survived, and that was a huge crystal. What was it originally There is no way to verify it, because that thing has been extremely distorted in the process of passing through the wall of reality, and its external form and even its essence have changed. It could have been a stone, a ray of light, or even a person—no matter what it is , anyway, it was condensed in the Great Annihilation and became a 'medium' that belongs to both the dream plane and the surface world. The crystal core I gave you was carved out of that crystal back then, with my mark and Some cutting-edge rune technology. Now you understand, the technology itself is very simple, but the material cannot be copied, and it bears the imprint of the dream plane, which I can't intervene in."
Hao Ren didn't expect that crooked and ugly crystal to have such a history. After listening to Raven 12345's narration, he knew that it might be impossible to find the second core.
"It seems that you can only go to the Dream Plane to find it," Lily poked Hao Ren's arm with her claws against the afro's head. "Such an awesome thing, it will definitely not break... Probably."
Raven 12345 left, neither throwing a "blessing" to Hao Ren, nor reading anything. When she left, she confessed one thing, that is to go to the dream plane to find the crystal core, and find the crystal core from the wall of reality. Open the door on the other side.
And this was enough to make Hao Ren tangled up.
After discussing with the three examiners, Hao Ren had a general idea.
Now the crystal core has not been activated normally, so it is still in the "silent state" when it was released. It is impossible to find it by tracking signals or other means. Now the only valuable clue in his hand is Anthony Detective. That brief information feed that was heard.
The moment the crystal core passed through the big rift, the channel opened briefly, and the breath of the dream plane leaked from the opposite side of the "door". Based on this little breath, it might be possible to find the place where the core fell.
Let's hope it doesn't fall too far, if the signal comes from outside the listening range of the drone swarm, it's a big... trouble.
"We can't help you if you go to the dream plane," Galazore said apologetically, "At present, only you have the authority to pass through the wall of reality, and we each have our own things to do."
"You guys have helped me a lot, and to be honest, I'm really sorry," Hao Ren sincerely thanked the two seniors. "The next step is my personal task, and I can handle it myself."
Anthony appeared on another communication screen: "Galazoll and I will leave the construction unit here. After we leave, the construction unit will continue to work, first build the frame of the 'gate', when will you If you find the whereabouts of the core in the dream plane, you can directly open the door there."
Lily thought for a while, then interjected: "Then what, when the landlord opens the door again, do you need to arrange a blocking net here?"
Hao Ren was a little taken aback: "What are you using the blocking net for?"
"What if you use too much force when you throw the core again, what should you do if you throw the core over?" Lily's husky thinking is very reasonable and convincing, "In this way, you can catch it in time and throw it again..."
Hao Ren's face darkened: "You think this is throwing sandbags?!"
Due to the accidental loss of the core, Hao Ren's ambitious "Open Door Project" could only be put on hold, and Mimir's reunion with his brothers and Xiaobai's research work could only be temporarily put on hold. To be honest, this was quite suffocating. Hao Ren had a feeling that he had agreed to a decisive battle on the top of the Forbidden City, but after ten years of hard training, he went to the Forbidden City only to find that the gate tower had been demolished and turned into a children's playground. And it's even more unlucky than that - if it's changed to a children's playground, you can still continue to duel with people on the merry-go-round as long as you pass the hurdle in your heart, but Hao Ren has no one to duel with him... He still has to travel thousands of rivers and mountains Get people back.
Mr. Hao is worried, and what is worrying is that he is pulling his hair down one by one, and while pulling his hair, he mutters: "It's so twists and turns to open every door... Why do I suddenly feel that this door is evil?"
Nangong Sanba was taken aback: "How do you say that?"
"I'm forced to be self-conscious," Hao Ren slapped his thigh, "I have summed up my experience in the past three years: Whenever I am responsible for things, most of them have shady scenes, and the degree of shady scenes is directly proportional to the level of tossing and tossing I do. "
Everyone: "..."
The project has been suspended, so there is no point in staying in this place. After arranging the follow-up construction procedures of those automatic equipment, Galazoll and Anthony returned to their territory first, while Hao Ren and Vivian Back to Midgard again.
They have to take Odin away.
The (predecessor) king of the Nordic gods has already unburdened his shoulders, and his extremely exhausted body and mind are really not suitable for continuing to toss in this wasteful world. After a full exchange of opinions, Hao Ren and Vivian decided to Bringing Odin back to Earth—at least there are a few familiar faces in Odin, the alien shelter there, which will also be good for the old man's recovery.
As for the Valkyrie who was in charge of guarding the gate in the Asa Garden and was left behind, Hao Ren would arrange for Odin to have direct access to the Asa Garden, so it would be easy for the two of them to meet.
As for the Twilight survivors on the Midgard continent... To be honest, the old man still can’t let them go, but the beauty of human beings lies in their tenacious power to survive and develop. Seeing that Twilight’s people have begun to build new buildings in the wilderness. Homeland, Odin felt that it was time for him to retire from the position of "Old Sage".
After all, he has completely handed over the authority of the Nine Kingdoms to Hao Ren, and for the rest, he also chooses to trust the successor he has chosen.
Standing on a hill in the Midgard wilderness, Hao Ren and Odin looked at the distant plain. The rumbling steam machinery is sorting out the foundations around the new city on the plain, and a group of explorers dressed in scholar costumes are escorted by Twilight Guards wearing heavy steam armor, towards the black forest next to the new city. The leader of the explorers It was Wendell, and behind him was Hope, who had once broken with him.
Just as the world is gradually healing, the father and son seem to be starting to dissolve their conflicts.
Odin looked up at the clear sky. The blue and green Purgatory Star was hanging in the center of the zenith. A thin beam of light extended from the surface of the Purgatory Star, pointing in the direction of the Nine Kingdoms, twisting and disappearing in the middle of the way. In a space crack. That is the eldest son's tentacle "Tower of Heaven" that connects the two "worlds". When Xiao Hei is in a good mood, this tentacle will be shrouded in soft light.
"I haven't seen a sunny day for more than two thousand years," Odin sighed softly, "There is also sunshine from the outside world..."
"Yugudora Hill is now in a semi-open state. After filtering the sunlight from the main material world, it can shine into the Nine Kingdoms. The extra energy can speed up the recovery of the ecological circle." Hao Ren nodded, "Purgatory and the Nine Kingdoms The connecting bridge is located in the Nibelungen, but Xiao Hei has not yet opened that passage, and she wants to wait until the humans in the two worlds are ready."
"Xiao Hei..." Odin's mouth trembled, but he still didn't say anything.
A snow-white girl was floating around without touching the ground like a cloud, when she floated in front of her eyes, Hao Ren said, "Xiaobai—don't float away, I'll tell you something. After we leave, you have to manage the ecological balance of Purgatory and the Nine Kingdoms, don't hand over all the work to Xiao Hei, she has a bit... manic temper now, you have to take care of it."
"I know." Xiao Bai casually agreed while circling around Hao Ren, "Aren't you coming back?"
"Of course I have to come back," Hao Ren smiled, "I'm still the lord of the Nine Kingdoms, among other things, I have to come back often to check on the situation of the Valkyrie in Asgard, she is not in a good state. Rest assured. And I have left a lot of monitors here, I will know if there is any trouble, and you can call me directly in case of emergency, the communicator is on the side of the guiding astrolabe."
"Know-know-la—" Xiaobai agreed, while flying lightly into the distance.
"Let's go," Hao Ren touched Odin in a daze, "Don't look at it, it's not like you can't come back, and you will be even more reluctant to leave after watching it for a while."
"oh oh… "
A ray of light fell from the sky, and Hao Ren and his party left this place. (to be continued~^~)
