Chapter 422 Unexpected Discovery

Hearing Galazur's sudden remark, Hao Ren realized he hadn't been communicating enough with his colleagues; he didn't even know about these things. Seeing Hao Ren's reaction, Galazur didn't keep him in suspense. She directly operated on her data terminal, and Hao Ren's data terminal immediately received some information. Then, a series of charts were projected in front of him.

They were easy-to-understand graphs that even a mediocre guy like Hao Ren could understand.

"Although the Wall of Reality is invisible to ordinary people, its activities leave all sorts of traces in the universe, large-scale destructive rifts like the Rift Nebula, and small-scale distortions of space due to gravitational anomalies. By observing these anomalies, we can indirectly understand the stability of the Wall of Reality. Before you directly intervened inside the Dream Plane, some third-party survey companies monitored the Dream Plane's activities in this way," Galazur explained the origin of these charts. Hao Ren couldn't find these things in those stiff, rigid historical data. "These data have been accumulated for hundreds or thousands of years. Few inspectors have the patience to collect and organize them all, but I happen to be a dragon interested in numbers. This red curve is the activity level of various 'anomaly points' in the universe over the past thousand years. These anomaly points are all products of the Wall of Reality's activities. The lines outside the red curve are observation records extracted separately for several large-scale rifts, also spanning a thousand years."

Hao Ren carefully observed the concise and clear graph. He could clearly see that all the curves were quite smooth at the beginning. Although there were fluctuations, they were regular. That was the relatively peaceful period Raven 12345 mentioned. After a certain time node hundreds of years ago, the amplitude of all the curve fluctuations suddenly increased sharply, which was obviously the turbulent period.

Starting from the collision of two universes fifty million years ago and the formation of the Wall of Reality, Hao Ren could roughly divide the state of this wall into several stages based on several major historical events: before the Goddess fell, the Wall of Reality was in the safest "absolute calm period;" during the brief period of the Goddess's fall, the Wall of Reality fluctuated greatly, causing the phenomenon of alien clusters crossing over. This was the "near-collapse point." After the Goddess's fall until a few hundred years ago, although the Wall of Reality fluctuated, it was not drastic, which was the "relatively calm period." From two or three hundred years ago to the present, although it was unknown what happened, the fluctuation of the Wall of Reality was once so drastic that even Raven 12345 was extremely vigilant. This was the "turbulent period."

"I'll send you the observation data for the last few years separately," Galazur said, sending new data.

On the new graph, Hao Ren saw some sharper data fluctuations, but these fluctuations calmed down abnormally in the last few grids of the graph.

"I discovered it unintentionally. From the time you took office to the present, in the past two to three years, there has not been a single rift expansion event or an abnormal space activity report. Those spatial anomaly points and rifts still exist, but they have neither expanded nor shrunk. They are like frozen objects, completely still. As long as no one courts death by jumping in, there will be no danger. So the key is: How did you do it?"

Hao Ren was dumbfounded.

He instinctively felt that what Galazur said was too bizarre and unbelievable, but he knew that the other party had no reason to fool him with these things. He looked at the things projected by the data terminal, knowing that the data was difficult to fake, and these charts seemed quite real and credible.

"I didn't do anything," Hao Ren said honestly. "I just travel around in the Dream Plane… the same as what you guys usually do."

"Then it seems that the key is not what you did, but that these things were done by you." Galazur pondered for a moment, then murmured something as if hinting at something. Although the voice was very soft, Hao Ren still heard it.

"What does that mean?"

"Wild guess," Galazur smiled. "Just the sixth sense of a mother dragon."

After that, Hao Ren and the Dragon Queen discussed a lot about the Dream Plane. Although Galazur was not the inspector in charge of these matters, this Dragon Queen at least had thousands of years of work experience. She was quite familiar with many things in this universe, and some secrets she knew and the strange phenomena in the depths of the universe were enough to give Hao Ren a lot of inspiration. The two "people" talked happily. Finally, Galazur promised Hao Ren that once she found traces of Yggdrasil in her jurisdiction, she would notify him as soon as possible.

The data terminal ended this intergalactic mass projection conference. As the signal transmission was interrupted, Galazur's figure turned into scattered light particles and disappeared on the sofa, leaving only a faint dragon aura in place.

"...The experience of an old-brand inspector is really helpful," Hao Ren glanced at the data terminal that was lying on the coffee table pretending to be a coaster. "Although she doesn't manage the Dream Plane, she really knows a lot about the Wall of Reality."

The data terminal buzzed and vibrated on the coffee table: "That's why this unit suggests that you discuss with those experienced predecessors more often."

Hao Ren nodded. Although this PDA was usually quite unreliable, its advice on official matters was always very reasonable. At the same time, he also remembered what Galazur had told him: "Why do you think the activity of the Wall of Reality has calmed down in the past two or three years?"

He still remembered what Raven 12345 had told him not long after he took office. She said that the Wall of Reality was in the most unstable state in history, and the Dream Plane and the Surface World were penetrating each other at an unprecedented rate. At that time, Hao Ren had made a lot of terrible psychological preparations, but he didn't expect the real situation to be so… "optimistic." The Wall of Reality had actually returned to stability after he took office, although he had no idea why. But this was undoubtedly good news.

But why didn't Raven 12345 tell him about this?

"This unit is just a PDA. How would this unit know this?" the data terminal replied in a particularly irritating tone. "Anyway, since Chief Raven didn't tell you, she has her reasons. Gods are quite powerful, to the point that every word she says may reshape the reality of the entire universe. Maybe she is worried that telling you too much will affect the balance of the Dream Plane and the Surface World: After all, you are constantly drilling around on the Wall of Reality, you yourself are already a huge information carrier."

Hao Ren pondered for a long time, but found that he couldn't grasp the key, so he simply threw the problem aside and leaned on the sofa to rest.

Gun glared at him for a long time. At this time, she found that Hao Ren had finally finished his business, so she immediately rubbed over and used her hands to pull Hao Ren's eyelids hard: "Big cat! Big cat!"

Hao Ren raised one eyelid and looked at the catgirl lazily: "What's the matter? I'm resting for a while..."

The cat girl pointed to her face with her finger: "Whiskers!"

Hao Ren took a closer look, but saw that this silly cat had drawn six black lines on her face with a pen—symmetrically distributed on her cheeks like cat whiskers. This idiot was still showing off with a smug look: "I have whiskers again!"

"Erase them!" Without saying a word, Hao Ren grabbed a rag from the side and shoved it on the silly cat's face. "Look at how dirty you are!"

Gun immediately bared her teeth: "Don't erase! I want whiskers! Otherwise, I always get stuck when drilling holes!"

"You'll get stuck even if you draw them on!" As soon as this cat entangled him, Hao Ren knew that he couldn't rest. He decided to settle this silly cargo first, so while trying to wipe the other party's face with the rag, he asked sternly, "Besides, where did you go drilling holes again?!"

"I didn't drill through the skylight in the basement!" Gun struggled hard. "Don't erase! I want whiskers!"

Hao Ren tried hard to hold down the silly cat's head with his hand, while pressing her belly with his knee, and frantically wiped the face of this idiot: "Be honest and don't move. Maybe it'll be easier to wipe off while it's still wet! When Vivian sees it later, she'll definitely beat you up!"

The silly cat's miserable cry resounded through the house: "Don't erase! Don't erase! You conjure up the whiskers for me! I want my original whiskers, or I won't erase them!"

While the two were fighting, the door next door suddenly slammed open from the inside. Lily, who had just woken up from her afternoon nap, floated out of the room with sleepy eyes: "What's all the noise? Are you going to let people sleep or not... Oh no! The landlord is doing something to the cat!!"

Hao Ren: "...What the hell?!"

Lily, who was still confused from sleep, continued to shout at the top of her voice: "Oh no! The landlord just admitted it!"

In this way, the Hao family mansion was filled with cheerful air as always today...
