Chapter 526 (2/2)
Seems like the crazy goddess’ shopping binge and manic research had come to an end.
Nangong Sanba was awestruck by the building before him as he teleported in. He quickly realized that the mist surrounding the place was hiding something beyond natural. He guessed it was probably a barrier or something even more advanced shrouding the place. At the same time, Rollie’s eyes were wide open. She was still lazing on the sofa and dozing off before finding herself in an unknown place. Her feline brain could not process the sudden change of location and she went into defensive mode. Between her slightly agitated breath, she mumbled, “Poop scooper, where are we? Don’t be afraid… I’ll protect you…”
Hao Ren gave Rollie a surprised look. He never thought the latter would actually say something like that. So the dumb cat had some shred of conscience after all?
However, he was still livid at the first part of the sentence though. Why the bloody hell was she still calling him Poop Scooper!!
The arcane servant quickly appeared out of thin air, and led the guests to the goddess’ office. Nangong Sanba gawked at the blue luminiscent servant as he followed it into the mansion. With a low voice he asked Hao Ren, “What is that?”
“A guardian created by Raven 12345. By normal religion standards, it’s probably a servant of God or something?” Hao Ren tried to explain. “It’s duty is to guide visitors, and to serve as the hand of god at certain times in the mortal world.”
The arcane servant led the three of them into a deeper part of the mansion. Hao Ren realized that this was not the usual path he took, and asked the servant, “Is Raven 12345 not in her office?”
The servant replied in a buzzing string of sentence, “The mistress is at the observatory on Stargaze Peak.”
Hao Ren had never heard of the place and thought it was probably some special area within the mansion. The place was far more complicated than it looked and there were many connections to mysterious dimensions from it. There were also structures present that could not have possibly existed within a three dimensional construct. From what Hao Ren knew, the mansion had a 10-storey-tall clock tower, but it was not visible from the outside of the mansion.
Hence, Hao Ren was not surprised when he heard about this other place.
As they came to the end of the corridor, the servant pushed open a door with many astronomical symbols etched upon it and signalled the guests to step forward before disappearing.
Hao Ren stepped through the door and found himself on a mountain peak, which was floating in the middle of space.
Vast space surrounded him, and many star systems lit the skies. Beneath him was a titanium-colored mountain peak. On top of the peak was a platform and on it, a model of the star systems and many real time infographic holograms were afloat. The place seemed to show every corner of the universe. Meanwhile, while Raven 12345 was standing not too far away from the platform. Her back was facing the ground, and she was looking into the stars. Her silver hair glowed like the stars around her.
Hao Ren had thought of greeting her as normal before he noticed that the goddess was concentrating on something. He quickly swallowed his words, and even Nangong Sanba as well as Rollie stood at attention.
“This the observatory of the universe, the closest to the core,” Raven 12345’s voice rang. “You can see everything in the universe here, every minute detail.”
“Are… you on official business or something?” Hao Ren asked carefully, figuring that he had finally ran into Raven 12345 being serious about her job. So, he should act accordingly.
“Three hundred years ago, I created a new planet using the starforge and sent it into space. That was the best of my handiwork.” Raven 12345 did not respond to Hao Ren’s question directly. She seemed to be mumbling to herself, “Now, the creators of planets are picking the best new planet and I’ve been thinking for the past few days…”
Raven 12345 looked up as she stared at the sea of stars. “Where the f*ck did I throw that sorry thing to back then?”
Hao Ren was speechless.
Hao Ren suddenly realized that his efforts earlier were all for naught. Raven 12345 was still a god damned loon!
