Chapter 1145 The Core Component

Everyone fell silent when Hao Ren suddenly mentioned that.

Sometimes the truth is just so obvious, right in front of you, but if no one reminds you, you might overlook it forever. When Hao Ren linked the circular dents on the surface of the metal sphere with the golden disks, everyone suddenly realized the perfect fit in size and the logically obvious connection.

The data terminal immediately measured the precise dimensions of the dents, as well as the position and size of each protrusion within them, and compared them with the parameters of the golden disks stored in the database. The conclusion was as expected: "Perfectly matched, partner. These are precisely the docking points prepared for the golden disks."

"Could it just be a coincidence? Are we really that lucky… without even a slight deviation?" Vivian said subconsciously. She felt that things that were too coincidental lacked a sense of reality; drama shouldn't always happen.

"This unit's measurement precision can reach the limit allowed by the material world," the data terminal immediately stated very seriously. It didn't like anyone questioning any of its parts and Apps. "The golden disks and the dents on this sphere are a 100% match. There's absolutely no possibility of coincidence."

Vivian nodded, no longer dissenting. After all, this was a creation left behind by the Goddess of Creation; it made sense for it to be connected to the golden disks. It was just that two such significant things were put together like this, making it a bit hard for her to believe.

"The golden disks are the data processing module of the Creation Engine," Hao Ren calmed down from his excitement and shock, and immediately began to define the large metal sphere in front of him. "Then what do you think this sphere is for?"

The data terminal immediately replied, "Considering this unit's detection results just now, and taking into account the many docking points reserved on its surface for the golden disks, this unit believes this is very likely the core component of the Creation Engine. Perhaps a control center, perhaps… a database?"

"Whichever it is, this is a major event," Hao Ren rubbed his temples. "The Goddess of Creation really left us a remarkable 'relic'."

"Not for us, for the bat," Lily immediately corrected with a serious face. "Don't say things randomly, or I'll always feel like this thing is going to explode at any moment…"

Hao Ren: "…"

The censors could say whatever they wanted, but when did this husky start getting the concept of "wherever our landlord goes, things explode?!"

Vivian ignored Lily's playful banter; she was just staring in a daze at the floating metal sphere in space, watching it continue to operate in an incomprehensible way, her thoughts carried far away. The true purpose of this thing was completely beyond her expectations, the core of the Creation Engine—who would believe this thing would actually appear here? Shouldn't it be in the nearly completed Creation Engine, sinking into the endless darkness along with the Divine Realm Explosion? What exactly was the Goddess of Creation arranging?

The golden disks scattered in the Plane of Dreams and on Earth could still be explained by the "Divine Realm Explosion"—they were flung to every corner of the two universes by that uncontrolled explosion, but this engine core obviously couldn't be explained that way. It was carefully preserved here by the Goddess of Creation. For safety, it even had a dedicated hyperspace storage to act as its container. It was even a gift with a clear purpose—the Goddess of Creation gave this powerful artifact to her divine-blooded descendant, Vivian.

And this brought great distress to this divine-blooded descendant.

Vivian was lost in thought for a long time, but she couldn't possibly decipher what her logical "mother" wanted her to do. She felt that the key to her "mission" was probably on this sphere, but her memories in this area were blank.

Hao Ren's voice pulled her thoughts back: "So next we should discuss how to deal with this thing. My opinion is that we can't let this thing stay in the Corpus. I want to take it back to let the goddess take a look, although I think she'll probably just throw this thing back at me and tell me to keep handling it."

Vivian replied casually, "Of course, that's what we always do…"

Before she could finish, Bai Huo interrupted from the side: "Ahem, I think we should at least let the current Council of Elders know about it, right?"

Vivian then realized why Hao Ren specifically mentioned this: he didn't really not know what to do, but was taking into account the feelings of the residents of the Corpus space now: the demon hunters. After all, this thing was dug out of the demon hunters' hometown, and it was dug out with great fanfare. It was estimated that everyone in the entire Corpus saw the spatial transfer phenomenon just now, like ten thousand Buddhas paying homage.

This was different from taking the Godslaying Sword before: the Godslaying Sword was a cursed object, and everyone avoided it, and the Godslaying Sword was a secret to most demon hunters. Even if it was taken away, it wouldn't cause any problems. To this day, ninety-nine percent of the demon hunters don't know that Hao Ren took the sword.

This sphere was much more conspicuous, and it looked like a treasure at first glance.

Hao Ren didn't consider so much about the other demon hunters he wasn't very familiar with, just completing the work was enough, but now there were many friends among the demon hunters, and there were also close friends like Hasse and Bai Huo, so he was embarrassed to take things from their place with a wave of his hand—although this thing didn't originally belong to the demon hunters.

At least he had to say something before taking it.

"I personally have no objection, and I estimate that the old seniors in the Council of Elders will have no objection either," Bai Huo saw Vivian frown slightly and immediately stated his position. "After all, everyone knows under whose protection the demon hunters survived the previous crisis, but we still have to go through the formalities."

Vivian snorted softly, "Don't take possessing these sacred relics for granted—I did give the Corpus to you, but the legacy here is something the Goddess of Creation left for me. I don't think there's a need to go through any formalities when the owner is clear."

Bai Huo was speechless, and finally could only nod with a wry smile: "Okay, I guess that's what would happen even if the instructor came… Then I will inform the others in the Council of Elders—by the way, how do you plan to transport it away?"

Hao Ren waved his hand: "That's simple, I've transported things several times bigger than this. I'm a professional mover."

After confirming the true purpose of the golden sphere, Hao Ren knew that this thing couldn't be handled by the simple equipment he carried with him. Only the Crystal Nucleus Research Station or Raven 12345 could handle something of this scale. Therefore, he summoned the Giant Tortoise Rock Terrace and reopened the ship's hyperspace storage, putting the entire golden sphere into the ship's cabin—everyone can imagine the scene of Nolan opening her mouth wide and swallowing something that was even fatter than herself. Anyway, Bai Huo said that the scene was quite surreal.

After the golden sphere was loaded, Hao Ren returned to the top platform of the Spirit Realm Clock Tower.

Those light purple spatial rifts had all vanished, and the once-operating magic array had returned to calm. The piece of inscription that Vivian "blood-recognized" had now become a blurred group of lines, and it was completely impossible to carry any magic fluctuations. This was obviously a one-time system. After the contents of the vault were taken away, the entire warehouse chose to self-destruct.

And such a large-scale spatial collapse didn't trigger even a single trace of magic fluctuation.

"We took away the 'relic' left by the Goddess of Creation, but to be honest, now I strongly suspect that there will be other things suddenly popping out here," Hao Ren frowned. "Heaven knows how many secrets are hidden in this space."

Vivian nodded lightly, "I'm afraid the Godslaying Sword is really some kind of activation key. After you took that sword away, many things started to happen—the demon hunters lived here for six thousand years before and didn't find any storage."

Hao Ren casually took out the Godslaying Sword and communicated with it. The Stabbing Hermit thought for a while and slowly expressed his opinion: "I don't know."

"You really are a big idiot," Hao Ren responded helplessly, "You don't know anything when I ask you."

The Godslaying Sword's tone was innocent: "I really don't know, and I don't really want to know so many things. I don't like these complicated things. I like peace, and if possible, I also like quiet."

Everyone: "…"

A fierce weapon that slays gods, a fierce weapon that caused two Madness Disasters, says it likes peace and quiet!

Hao Ren laughed dryly after being stunned for several seconds: "Hehe, it seems that Raven 12345 taking a bite on its head really caused problems."

Vivian covered her forehead: "There's nothing to be surprised about—think about what Lao Wang is doing now."
