Chapter 1681 Establishing Contact Methods
Raven 12345 was sincerely trying to reward the little weakling, even planning to contribute her limited-edition instant noodles that she had been treasuring for two weeks—however, the little thing was really scared, and in the end, simply merged into Vivian’s body and refused to come out, so the reward plan had to be abandoned.
In every sense, the little weakling had escaped a calamity.
Afterwards, the topic shifted to Dou Dou.
The little mermaid didn’t seem to mind Raven 12345, and at this time she was happily bouncing around on the latter’s ridiculously large desk. After getting permission from the adult, she curiously rummaged through the goddess’s strange desk ornaments and office supplies—anyway, everything was produced by the Divine Realm, so with the little mermaid’s abilities, she couldn’t break anything, just as long as she didn’t habitually court death.
“To be honest, I only had you bring her along based on the hints given by the Prophecy Crystal, but I really didn’t expect her to have such a big effect,” Raven 12345 said, watching the fish baby bouncing around in front of her, her tone full of emotion. “She used her face to withstand the apocalypse, and even gave a true god internal injuries… who would believe it if you said that? As expected, the most lethal thing in this world is plot armor…”
Hao Ren: “Huh?”
“Ahem, it’s nothing,” Raven 12345 said, casually summoning a small ball of light, which attracted Dou Dou to chase it up and down. “I’ll check her body… well, there really aren’t any effects, so you can rest assured.”
“Unfortunately, this kind of trickery can only be done once. Next time we see that apocalyptic goddess, she definitely won’t be foolish enough to throw out the end of the world again,” Hao Ren shook his head. “And next time we see her, she’ll definitely be much stronger than this time. Although Leah will definitely become stronger after studying, we have to deal with more than just the apocalyptic goddess… there’s also the Lord of Madness.”
“Yes, it can only be used once, but it’s also the same as sealing one of the opponent’s skills, isn’t it?” Raven 12345 smiled and looked at Hao Ren. “And you should have more confidence in that goddess named Leah. I’ve seen the blueprints for the Genesis Engine, and I have to say, she’s actually quite clever. She doesn’t have any trouble learning those textbooks, and a god armed with knowledge is definitely more powerful than you can imagine.”
Hao Ren nodded, then suddenly remembered something: “By the way, there’s one more thing I want to confirm with you—Leah still can’t leave the Dream Plane, right?”
“Of course,” Raven 12345 nodded as a matter of course. “She’s the Genesis Goddess of the Dream Plane. You can’t find an information complex more deeply connected to the Dream Plane than her. If a being like her were to cross the Wall of Reality, it wouldn’t just be making a hole in the wall—the collision of worlds would be directly completed!”
Hao Ren was a little unwilling: “Wouldn’t it work even with the buffer zone on the Rift Nebula side?”
The depths of the Rift Nebula were the new gate to the Dream Plane, and on the other side of the gate was Coro. Because it was an extremely large rift, the massive amount of information leaking from the Dream Plane interfered with the information of the mortal world, forming a “buffer zone” between the Dream Plane and the mortal world. Within this area, things from both the Dream Plane and the mortal world could stably exist and interact, without worrying about causing any impact on the two worlds.
Since the completion of the gate, many of Hao Ren’s large-scale material transfers had been completed through it.
However, Raven 12345 shook her head: “That buffer zone is very convenient, but it still can’t bear the information load of the Genesis Goddess.”
Hao Ren felt a toothache when he heard this: “Tsk… this is troublesome. I was still planning to arrange for the Genesis Goddess to meet you, so you could use your experience as a textbook-perfect god to teach her, otherwise she’s holding a large pile of textbooks and studying on her own, I’m really worried that her learning progress won’t keep up.”
“You think you’re the only one who thought of this? I’ve been thinking about meeting her for a long time,” Raven 12345 glanced at Hao Ren. “Isn’t it just that the reality doesn’t allow it? And… eh, wait a minute! If it’s just to contact her… it doesn’t seem impossible!”
Hao Ren and Vivian were stunned at the same time, and then said in unison: “Really?!”
“Do you two have to be so synchronized?” Raven 12345 tapped the table, then explained, “We were just stuck in a rut—why do we have to emphasize letting the Genesis Goddess ‘come over’? If we just want to arrange for her to contact me, then remote communication is the same thing! Why do we have to meet in person?”
Hao Ren and Vivian looked at each other, then said in unison again: “It’s that simple?”
“I said, do you two have to be so synchronized!” The goddess, who was still single, tapped the table again. “Of course it’s not that simple. After all, a god in itself means a super high amount of information. Even if you just transmit a sentence, it’s divine, so those devices you’re using to contact the Dream Plane now definitely won’t work on Leah. I guarantee she’ll drop the connection as soon as she speaks. But making a remote communicator specifically for true gods is definitely much easier than directly bringing Leah’s body over. You guys wait, I’ll go get a prototype…”
Raven 12345 acted with great efficiency. As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared from the office in an instant, leaving Hao Ren and Vivian staring at each other blankly.
Oh, and there was also a mermaid baby rolling a crystal ball around on the desk.
“When she said ‘wait,’ does she mean for us to wait at home or wait here?” Vivian asked, a little unsure. “Looking at how she acted as soon as she finished speaking, we should wait here for a while, right?”
Hao Ren curled his lips: “Hard to say. With the sense of time that these immortal gods have, she might just say ‘wait’ and then ten days or half a month will pass. I think we should go home.”
“But what if she comes back in a bit and doesn’t see us?”
Hao Ren stroked his chin: “Whatever, let’s go home and eat first. Anyway, she can pull us over at any time if she really needs us.”
Vivian thought it made sense, so she casually picked up Dou Dou from the table, and Hao Ren beckoned to the data terminal to open a portal to his home.
The light and shadow of the portal flashed by, and when the scene in front of them stabilized, the two people and one fish were already standing in the living room of their home.
As soon as Hao Ren stood firm, he saw Gun sitting cross-legged on the carpet next to the sofa, the cat girl still holding a handheld game console in her hand, clicking away.
Noticing the sudden appearance of auras in the living room, the cat girl looked up and meowed, and Hao Ren instantly saw what she was holding, and was immediately shocked: “Where did you get that! This is my treasured…”
Before he could finish speaking, a beam of light suddenly fell on him and Vivian, and the two people and one fish disappeared from the living room in an instant, just like when they had come. At this time, the cat girl had not yet reacted to what had happened.
A full few seconds passed before the silly cat jumped up with a meow, yelling so that the whole house could hear: “Oh no! The Great Cat’s vengeful spirit suddenly ran out of the game console!”
In the kitchen, which was adjacent to the living room, Nangong Wuyue was helping Sanba wash vegetables—because the cook wasn’t at home, Nangong Sanba had to temporarily act as the cook. Fortunately, he had been running around outside for many years, and spent most of his time surviving in the wild, so he had developed some cooking skills, otherwise this house full of people wouldn’t have anything to eat when Vivian wasn’t home.
Hearing the cat’s cries coming from the living room, Nangong Wuyue couldn’t help but look back at the kitchen door: “What’s that cat suddenly going crazy about again?”
Sanba muttered as he worked, “God knows, maybe she’s messing around with the TV again.”
Standing next to Nangong Sanba was a third person, wearing a black dress. Except for her slightly shorter hair and smaller figure, she was almost a carbon copy of Vivian. It was actually Hesperiana.
Hesperiana frowned and said uncertainly, “I seemed to sense Lord Vivian’s aura for a moment…”
“You must have sensed it wrong,” Nangong Wuyue said firmly. “Her aura is everywhere in this house. You’ve sensed it wrong several times since just now. She and the landlord went to report to the goddess, and they definitely won’t be back for half a day.”
Hesperiana oh-ed suspiciously, then became a little nervous: “Um… do you think Lord Vivian will be angry if I suddenly ran over like this…?”
“You’ve asked this question several times,” Nangong Sanba glanced at the anxious little bat spirit. “Have some confidence, Vivian doesn’t hate you.”
Hesperiana frowned: “But every time I looked for her in the past, she would hide from me, and didn’t seem to want to see me…”
“Don’t overthink it. Vivian even said that she wanted to change her attitude towards you during this business trip,” Nangong Wuyue comforted her. “She also said she wanted to invite you to play at home for a few days—you came here on your own initiative, she’s definitely happier than you know.”
“Really?!”
The vampire matriarch, who had always been a powerful and influential figure in the Sanctuary of Different Species, and even in the Shadow Council, was as nervous as a child preparing to go to a parent-teacher conference.
On the other side, Hao Ren and Vivian had no idea that an uninvited guest had arrived at their home, because they had been forcibly dragged back to the Divine Kingdom by Raven 12345.
The goddess seemed particularly puzzled: “I told you to wait, why did you just go home!”
Vivian looked embarrassed: “We thought you meant for us to wait at home—we thought you would need a few days to prepare.”
And Hao Ren was heartbroken over his childhood collectibles: “I saved up for so long when I was in school to buy that… and now it’s been ruined by the cat…”
The data terminal was very unhappy listening to this: “You’re being unreasonable! You treat an outdated antique from more than a decade ago as a treasure, but you use my high-precision technology as a coaster all day long. Are you even embarrassed?!”
“Alright, alright, alright, the family matters can be resolved privately when we get back. This is the workplace, can you be a little more serious?” Raven 12345 interrupted Hao Ren’s mumbling, and took out a pair of silver-white metal rings and placed them on the table. “Here, this is the prototype that I came up with after fully utilizing my intelligence and creativity. It can allow Leah to project a part of her information into the mortal world.”
Hao Ren vowed that although he knew that this female madman was reliable in terms of work, she had never been this reliable before!
“So fast?” He looked incredulously at the pair of metal rings on the table. The rings weren’t big, like two silver-white bracelets, and there were no buttons or other protrusions visible on their smooth surface. “How do you use these things?”
“Direct mental activation. One is placed with the Genesis Goddess, and the other is taken to the mortal world. Its principle is to generate a remote mass projection. This thing is much more useful than a simple communicator. If it weren’t for my solid professional knowledge, flexible thinking, and full of creativity, I really…”
Hao Ren listened to Raven 12345’s boasting while picking up the pair of rings, only to find that one of the rings actually had a label on it, which read “Sixth Generation Foolproof Mass Projector - Joyful Edition, product number see steel stamp”…
The goddess was still boasting at this time, but Hao Ren really couldn’t listen anymore: “Ahem, boss, can you tear off this label before you brag next time?”
“…Eh?!”
“So you just went back to the warehouse and took a ready-made thing to show off, right? I was wondering how it could be so fast!”
“…”
