Chapter 1629: Not Your Ordinary Goddess

Hao Ren's spirits rose when he heard Raven 12345's revelation. "You mean you'll go there personally?"

"What are you thinking?" Raven 12345 immediately shot Hao Ren a look. "Come on! The Wall of Reality is still there. I mean, I can give you more support like providing you some high-energy equipment, increasing the 'bandwidth' between the Plane of Dreams and the Surface World, and allowing you to use a higher-level divine spell to call me for my help."

Hao Ren was delighted when he heard the first two things but was taken aback by the third one. He would rather die than use the divine spells although they had their uses. For instance, his enemy would literally die laughing at the barrage around him, and he could inherit their legacies after that.

"What is that look supposed to mean?" Hao Ren's expression did not escape Raven 12345's eyes. The goddess immediately looked daggers at him. "What's wrong with my divine spells? It took me two months to figure them out when I first took office!"

Noobie, who was having her meal on the table, shrank her neck when she heard Raven 12345 blowing a gasket. She glanced up carefully at Hao Ren, then continued with her meal.

"Forget it, you will know how great I am one day." Raven 12345 waved her hand. "Let's get down to business. The latest findings have overturned our previous understanding of the Creation's Engine and the ultimate plan of the goddess of creation. The goddess did not mean to separate the Plane of Dreams from the Surface World. What she called the 'rebalance' was not about the equilibrium before the collision of the two worlds, but the balance of the universe in the absence of God's interference, which was the Original Equilibrium. I cannot say that this idea is wrong; many native universes have no existence of gods. Even in universes where gods exist, the gods try to have as little interference as possible in the mortal world. But the goddess of creation's thinking is obviously too extreme. She wanted to achieve balance by completely destroying all traces of a true god. Perhaps the endless war with the Mad Lord and the resulting destruction to the Plane of Dreams had discouraged her and made her think that her extraordinary existence had brought disaster to the world. I believe this thinking is one of the motivations that drove her to come up with the idea of the Godless Age."

Hao Ren got the picture. "So, I have to be a counselor then?"

What was actually in his mind was 'F*ck, the neurotic even has the nerve to teach me how to counsel people. Who will go crazy first?'

"You may think so." Raven 12345 did not know the little though in Hao Ren's mind. She went on to say, "As I've said before, the solution to the problem of the Plane of Dreams lies with the goddess of creation. If she chooses to give up, the Plane of Dreams will be doomed. The idea of the Godless Age may sound heroic and scary, but it is actually an escape mentality. As long as this mentality exists, the illiterate goddess will find another way to self-destruct even if you modify the Creation's Engine."

"I can handle anything except stuff like counseling." Hao Ren sighed. "I am not a psychiatrist."

What Hao Ren was thinking quietly in his mind was, had he been a psychiatrist, he would have cured the neurotic goddess a long time ago.

This time, Raven 12345 was as sharp as a tack. She looked at Hao Ren's eyes and became suspicious. "I know what disrespectful thoughts are in your mind right now. But let me tell you, my condition is of organic brain damage, which is not the same as a mental illness!"

Hao Ren almost choked."Cough, cough... I can't believe you said that. So, does it mean you've given up treatment?"

"Don't assume that I don't know what you guys say about me at my back." Raven 12345 waved her hand. "It's just that I don't want to make a fuss about it."

This time, it was Hao Ren who was embarrassed.

"That's it for now. Go home and wait for the news while I request technical backup from the top. The main thing is that we cannot let the goddess of creation's suicide plan continue, and we must keep the Creation's Engine as well as the Weaves of Destiny after the modification," Raven 12345 said. "Now I am more concerned about another thing. Did you say that the freaking brain said something strange before it died?"

"Yup. It said something like a dream would end, and she would awaken. It would too," Hao Ren said. "This is something profound."

The words came out of the mouth of a monster that was an enemy. It was already in pieces and mentally chaotic, but Hao Ren did not take its words lightly. Before he came, he had discussed the matter with Vivian but did not come to any solid conclusion. He wanted to hear what Raven 12345 had to say.

"'She' could refer to the goddess of creation, and 'it', the Mad Lord." Coincidentally, ​​Raven 12345 had the same thinking as Vivian in this case. "The giant brain was probably a creation of the goddess of creation, and the Mad Lord's power had distorted and turned it into a monster. So, it had two characteristics. With the subtle connection between the two forces, it most likely knew something that others did not, such as the situation of the goddess of creation and the Mad Lord. Perhaps it could even connect to the Umbral Realm where the divine realm is in now. Or, it had a direct link with the Mad Lord.

"The dream that would come to an end does not refer to the nightmare it created in Amantir, which you guys have destroyed. It is something 'higher' and more far-reaching. This dream has a connection with the goddess of creation and the Mad Lord.

"The Lair of Nightmares in Amantir could be more than just an arsenal of monsters. It could be an extension of another nightmare world. Let me guess; could the goddess of creation and the Mad Lord be currently connected to the same dream? And this dream is the battlefield between the two as well as the cage that traps them both. Your actions in Amantir have disturbed this dream."

Hao Ren's brows were knitted together as he listened to Raven 12345's analysis. "If that is the case, things are not looking good."

"The situation of the Plane of Dreams has never looked good." Raven 12345 seemed to have accepted the reality. "And neither it looks any worse. Let's look from another angle, at least you have weakened the power of the Mad Lord." By turning so many divine creatures into monsters, and creating a 'dreaming brain,' I don't think it does not drain the power of the Mad Lord a bit. Since you have killed many of its minions, it would only become weaker than ever, which I have no doubt about it."

Hao Ren's brows still knitted together. "But then again, isn't the Mad Lord itself currently trapped in the cage of the dark abyss in the universe? How is it related to a dream, and how could it extend its influence to Star Cluster X?"

"On the level of the gods and the demigods, space and time, reality and dreams, all of these concepts are not of what you think." Raven 12345's voice sounded somewhat ethereal. "The body of the Mad Lord is indeed imprisoned in the cage of the dark abyss, but it is not necessarily the only thing that cages it. You have to learn to adapt to the abstract things because you have already stepped into it. From the day you became my pope, you are already an extraordinary being not bound by space and time and concepts."

Hao Ren's mouth twitched. "It sounds weird for you to talk so seriously."

"Me too!" Raven 12345 knocked on the table and scared the daylights out of Noobie. "Forget it, and let's not talk about this. You have something else to tell me? The road sign system that your report mentioned?"

"It is a joint road sign formed by three crystals, but the Amantir crystal is heavily contaminated and unable to resonate with other crystals," Hao Ren said. "The goddess of creation's road sign system is extraordinary. It will only work when all three crystals resonate with each other. Otherwise, no method of reading and calculation can get an accurate result. It is like a quantum black box; it will not give out any data as long as the system is incomplete."

"It is to improve security. Only when all the guardians are normal, the passage to the divine realm will open," Raven 12345 said. "The goddess of creation was highly vigilant although she had never been to school. It seems that she has long considered the possibility of the three guardian groups encountering problems. But it has now become an inconvenience to us."

Hao Ren laughed. "It is just an inconvenience to you? So you already have a solution?"

"Give scanned data of the three crystals to me." Raven 12345 looked confident. "I will figure out the road signs in half a month, tops."

Hao Ren could not believe what he heard. "Whoa! Since when have you been so dependable?"

Raven 12345 rolled her eyes at Hao Ren. "Get out of my sight! Since when I am not dependable?"

Hao Ren smirked as he picked up Noobie from the table. Noobie had finished eating the meat and was licking her fingers now. "I will leave you to it. The MDT will send you the scanned data of the three crystals by afternoon."

Noobie was startled when Hao Ren suddenly picked her up. She looked at Hao Ren and thought for a moment before deciding to fire a round of corrosive energy bolts at him. "Biu—"

Okay, it seemed that Noobie had not changed much in this aspect.

Raven 12345 was not bothered by Hao Ren's attitude. She just waved her hand carelessly and said, "Get out of my sight!"

After Hao Ren left, silence returned to Raven 123545's big office. She tucked her simper, her hands on the table, and she fell into deep thought.

A voice suddenly came from a corner of the room. "You seem to be in a good mood! The rising star among the inspectors seems to know what he is doing. But where did you get your confidence? Half a month? The thing that the wild goddess made may not be that sophisticated, but hacking it is no small feat."

Raven 12345 looked in the direction of the voice, where the air rippled. A silver-haired woman who looked exactly the same as Raven 12345 walked out of the rippling portal.

"23333, could you please use the door next time?"

"Not even the frame of the door was left when you blew up the mansion." Raven 23333 shrugged. "I am used to teleporting. Anyway, you are confident to fix it? This is not your specialization as far as I can remember."

Raven 12345 blinked. "I know, I know. My specialization is in combat, but I have another plan."

"Oh, you do? Tell me about it."

Raven 12345 smiled and got to her feet. She suddenly jumped straight over the desk and landed before Raven 23333 to hug her leg. "Help me! Big sister!" she cried.

"Sh*t! Get off my a**!"

"Big sister! I know you have upgraded the computing and imaginary simulation modules, and you could do it in your sleep!"

"Get your hands off me! You are my senior, and your serial number is a lot further up the ranking than mine."

"Who cares? You are now my big sister! I was just bluffing. Now you're the only one who can save my dignity!"

"Dignity my a**! Where is your dignity now? Let go of me! Damn it, let go of me!"

As always, the goddess had not taken her medication.
