Chapter 825 Disposal
No matter how curious Lily was, everyone was unable to figure out the principles behind Vivian's splitting process on the spot—after all, she couldn't just "pop" and turn into two people in front of everyone. So in the end, the topic returned to the subsequent disposal of this planet.
According to Vivian, the eldest son of this planet had actually "died" ten thousand years ago. At that time, the "other Vivian" who stayed here, or rather, Vivian's "split body," erased the eldest son's soul and thinking organs, replacing it with herself. But this disposal obviously had hidden dangers: after ten thousand years, that "split body" herself went mad, and eventually turned into a mindless evil spirit that was defeated by everyone. As Vivian reabsorbed the split body that she had split off many years ago, the "eldest son system" on which this planet depended for survival was equivalent to losing its core program. The planet's thermal balance and material cycle, which originally relied on the eldest son's organs deep underground, would be affected.
So the top priority was to establish a new control system, rebuild the eldest son's nerve center, and take over the Gu Ling's "Lullaby" technique.
Vivian immediately found Gelagron and asked the data terminal to follow this ancient heroic spirit to collect information about the "Lullaby" technique.
The Gu Lings heard that the "Goddess" was going to build a new system to replace them, and they naturally felt some commotion. Gelagron was elected to talk to Vivian. He confessed the souls' worries: "My Lady, are you dissatisfied with our work?"
Vivian stood in front of the council hall, looking at the electrically charged "Throat of Toka" at the end of the road. She gently shook her head: "No, I just want you to rest. You have been serving in this position for ten thousand years... or five thousand years according to this world's calendar. It's time to take a vacation."
Gelagron's phantom swayed slightly in the air, and no expression could be seen on his blurred face. He gently bowed: "If that is your will."
Then the ancient soul turned and left, without questioning Vivian's decision. Hao Ren sighed beside him: "They sincerely regard you as their goddess. What about you? Do you have a sense of reality?"
"A little bit," Vivian pointed to her chest, her expression somewhat strange, "After merging with additional memories, it seems that I have also gained an additional life. I can remember the scene when 'I' led them to build this city here ten thousand years ago. When Gezer first called me Goddess, I just felt inexplicable, but now... it seems that I can really accept this title."
Hao Ren immediately became a little nervous: "Wait, you won't be affected by foreign memories, will you? Like on TV, your personality changes drastically after merging with someone else's soul..."
"Not really," Vivian couldn't help laughing, "Just some scattered memory fragments, like watching someone else's life movie. I am still me—if I didn't even have this certainty, I definitely wouldn't have dared to merge casually."
Hao Ren carefully looked Vivian up and down for a long time, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Yeah, you are quite cautious anyway. Speaking of which, I suddenly thought of a question just now, about that crystal."
Vivian frowned: "You mean Beatrice's crystal? What's wrong with it?"
"Who made that crystal? Was it you or the other Vivian in this world?"
"According to the memory fragments in the crystal, it should have been made by the other me," Vivian seemed to have thought of something, "But it ended up in Beatrice's hands."
"That's right, you split up ten thousand years ago, and that crystal was made on this planet, but why would it be in Beatrice's hands?" Hao Ren's face was serious, "Did someone send it from Purgatory to Earth? Or did Beatrice visit Purgatory in her early years, and she found it here by chance? Or even more bizarre... did the crystal teleport to Earth by itself? That thing is a bridge for exchanging memories between you and your split body, so it may have some mysterious power."
The corners of Vivian's mouth turned up: "The last idea is really whimsical. But you're right, this kind of crystal hides many secrets, so..."
As she spoke, she took out the remaining blood-colored crystal from her arms. This crystal was exactly the one Paul had saved. Hao Ren curiously asked after seeing this thing: "Are you going to eat this too?"
"Let's wait a bit," Vivian hesitated again and again and put the blood crystal away, "My mind is still in a mess right now, let me calm down first."
Hao Ren said oh, and then looked at Vivian up and down with great interest, making the latter feel goosebumps all over: "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing, just confirming if you've changed after merging." Hao Ren smiled dryly and perfunctorily brushed it over, he didn't dare to tell the truth: In fact, he felt that Vivian was getting more and more magical. When he first learned that a vampire was not afraid of holy light and liked to eat garlic, he thought that this was all the magical things about this poor ghost, but he never thought that this girl's magical attributes would keep popping out one after another. It's not to mention that a bat falling from her body can become a spirit, she can even conjure up a Vivian mk-ii that is a whole kilometer high. Just when you think that Vivian mk-ii is shocking enough, hey, she also learned asexual reproduction!
Now Hao Ren didn't dare to imagine how many times Vivian had split up in the past ten thousand years—if her splitting phenomenon was really a talent skill, then this scene would be too beautiful. After the little Vivian and the Demon God Vivian, there would be a proliferative million Vivian... If you didn't know it, you would think that the Korean plastic surgery trend had swept to the southern suburbs!
As Hao Ren thought about it, he couldn't help muttering to himself: "Your attributes are really getting more and more diverse..."
Vivian: "Huh?"
Hao Ren quickly straightened his face: "Uh, nothing."
The data terminal quickly collected enough data, and it returned to Hao Ren with an architectural design drawing. In the face of serious matters, this brick is always as reliable as its hardness: it has almost designed all the details, and all that's left is to send a construction team to build the new "electric shock controller."
Hao Ren saw that the solution designed by the data terminal was not much different from the previous concept diagram: it was a building complex formed by a large number of discharge needle towers. The lower half of the building complex was connected to a large number of cables, pipes, and the eldest son's tentacles. Its connection concept seemed to partially refer to the mechanical part of the "Dream Ark" on Planet Jormangandr, and the structure of those discharge bodies was obviously imitating the underground city in front of him.
The scale of this building complex should be comparable to Dorasil, a small project. Therefore, Hao Ren felt that before building this facility, he could also solve another problem:
Get this planet out of the gap in the Wall of Reality.
It's not sustainable to keep this space fragment stuck on the Wall of Reality. Every time it drifts, it damages the fragile balance between the Plane of Dreams and the surface world. And this planet also needs the illumination of a star: its fragile ecosystem is not a long-term thing at all.
Whether it is thrown back into the Plane of Dreams or simply pushed into the real world is better than the current state of being stuck between two places.
So before returning to the surface, Hao Ren connected to Raven 12345 and prepared to report the situation here to his superior.
After the familiar heavenly ringtone, Hao Ren heard Raven 12345's lazy and slurred voice coming from the communication channel: "Hello... Ah? Which one? What's up?"
Hao Ren felt particularly cordial when he heard this tone—before getting on the pirate ship of "Inspector," he basically answered the phone every day in such a half-dead tone.
"It's me, Hao Ren, I have a situation here. What are you doing? Why do you sound like you're about to die?"
"Isn't it okay for this goddess to be overworked and exhausted?" Raven 12345 seemed to have recovered a little spirit after hearing that it was Hao Ren, "What's the situation?"
Hao Ren told the other party everything that had happened here, and also mentioned Vivian's magical phenomenon of asexual or sexual reproduction, and finally asked very rigorously and professionally: "This planet can't continue to be stuck on the edge of space-time, so I want to consult you on what to do—I haven't done such a big project before."
Raven 12345 was silent for a moment, and then said leisurely: "You really always surprise me... Regarding that planet called 'Purgatory,' I have a good place for it."
"In the surface world?"
"That's right, the surface world, a place called the 'Rift Nebula.'"
