Hao Ren had doubts about the strange vision he had experienced when he left the forest.
So far, all the visions he has experienced have had their carriers – either the gold disk, or the palace of the goddess of creation, or the goddess’ blood. So where does the twisted, dim starry sky come from?
Hao Ren easily associated it with the scepter, because that was the last thing he touched before he fell into the illusion.
Now that Raven 12345 had used her divine power to dispel the disguise of the core of the scepter and reveal the nature of the cosmic fragments, and his guess was confirmed. He was almost certain that the piece of starry sky he saw was something in the fragment: a ripped universe.
Raven 12345 put the fragment in her hand and released a little of her power to try to penetrate it. She tried very carefully because she could feel that it was quite unstable. As a ripped universe, it was rapidly ‘self-evaporating’. Its incomplete information structure was constantly collapsing in the real world due to its inconsistency. After several attempts, she stopped trying and said, “There’s something left in the fragment, but my power cannot penetrate it: this damned thing is part of the Plane of Dreams. Just like I can’t intervene in the Plane of Dreams, I can’t intervene in this thing too. It’s too resistant to foreign powers.”
Hao Ren was not surprised. He just nodded and said, “But I think my guess is quite right.”
“Yes, it’s right to trust your intuition at times like this,” said Raven 12345, returning the fragment to Hao Ren. “You might as well keep it with you. You have some kind of strange abilities that allow you to resonate with the products of the Plane of Dreams, and if there’s a man who has a chance to unlock the secrets of this, it’s probably you.”
Hao Ren took the fragments, but his eyes fell on the god-slaying sword not far away. “If the fragments still have the physical structure of the universe, then this sword… Is there something in it, too?”
The god-slaying sword was spinning around in a boring circle. It shivered when it heard it and said, “Are you going to stab me open? I don’t like to stab anyone, and I don’t like being stabbed at either. I tell you…”
“Shut up! Who said I want to cut you open?” Hao Ren said while giving it the side-eye. “Keep spinning and don’t talk.”
“Oh.”
“I’ve kept sample information of the cosmic fragment,” Raven 12345 said. “When I get back, I’ll give the information to my superior’s data center and ask the guys over there to analyze it. Maybe they’ll find a way to get you back in. Before that, keep the god-slaying sword and this fragment with you. They have been purified and will not cause any harm in the future.”
“Ok,” Hao Ren said and kept the two things carefully.
Then Hao Ren and Vivian left the place together.
For the next few days, everything seemed calm.
Summer had come to an end. The hot weather that had lasted for nearly two months gradually cooled down. There was an autumn rain last night, and the air after the rain was particularly fresh. Hao Ren sat in his favorite chair in the living room and looked out of the window.
From here, Hao Ren could see the empty space behind the house, which had now completely become the territory of Y’lisabet. The little girl piled up all the old appliances she had collected from miles and miles away and dragged her father to build a colorful steel shed on the vacant lot to protect her treasures. Now Y’lisabet was playing with her collection, checking to see if the rain yesterday had poured into the shed, and Rollie was following her around just like when she was still a cat: jumping up and down in all sorts of high and low places, looking very dangerous, but she had a good time.
Y’zaks was standing not far away, looking helplessly at his precious daughter. The plan he designed for his little girl, ‘The Demon Queen Training Program’ was completely ruined. At present, there was no hope to train the little girl into a qualified demon queen in 300 years. The old demon had been reflecting on his education problems lately, but that did not help.
Hao Ren took his attention back from the window and fell back on the scroll in his hand.
