Chapter 1384 - The Goddess’ White Tower (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
What Raven 12345 said gave the impression that she was either joking or hiding something. But Hao Ren was dead sure that what the goddess said was truthful. She merely made a passing comment on Lorissa’ hair.
After all, there was nothing the goddess could not do. All the more so when she stabbed the supervisor whom her superior sent.
“Ahem,” Hao Ren broke the silence and brought the volunteers’ attention back. “Let’s not talk about hair anymore. Don’t you want to examine them? These people come all the way from the Plane of Dreams…”
While he spoke, Hao Ren saw the collapsed “Palace of the Goddess”, which was still billowing with green smoke. He choked back his words. “If you feel like it’s not the right time, I’ll bring them back home first while I wait for you to rebuild the house.”
“That’s okay. No worries,” Raven 12345 said to dismiss Hao Ren’s concern. She then stepped out of the light, and the holographic image turned into the real goddess herself. “The house is just a place to stay. All the important things have been safely stored away.”
The first thing came to Hao Ren’s mind was that the goddess did have a plan sometimes. The second thought that crossed his mind was that the goddess must have blown her house up so frequently that it had become a habit. The third thing that came to mind was ‘holy moly’—the goddess had just declared that her house as an unsafe zone.
While the volunteers were still stunned, Raven 12345 came up to them. With the snap of her fingers, a portal filled with blue light opened in front of them. On the other side of the portal was the figure of a white structure.
“It is my lab,” Raven 12345 said and motioned Hao Ren to bring everyone into the portal. “Everything is ready.”
After passing through the portal, the volunteers and Hao Ren were amazed by what they saw. He did not know that Raven 12345 had such many hidden places in the divine realm. Behind the portal was an incredibly vast and chaotic space. Hao Ren could not see the boundary of the place, which was shrouded in a blanket of fog. It seemed that something was in there. The ground, made of black crystals, extended outward and disappeared in the mist in the distance. In the middle of this chaotic space, a white tower stood alone on the black crystal land.
The white tower had a beautiful curvy appearance. It was intricately inlaid with golden lines, which gradually shrank from the base up, but expanded close to the top of the tower to form a unique shape. Above the white tower, three large crystals circled the tower. The crystals were filled with complicated and hard to understand magic runes that evolved all the time as if they contained the endless truths and mysteries of the universe. Hao Ren looked up at the crystals and instantly felt dizzy.
“Ahh, you have also noticed the crystals.” Raven 12345 saw Hao Ren’s reaction and laughed.
“What are those?” Hao Ren pinched his forehead. “It makes me feel dizzy by just looking at them.”
“I have no idea.” Raven 12345 crossed her arms. “It is a theme pack that I downloaded from the Internet two days ago. I saw many people liked it and got one for my lab.”
Hao Ren was dumbfounded.
Oh god, it was nothing like what he had imagined.
Hao Ren no longer looked at the white tower. He could not care less about how important it was. He brought the volunteers and followed Raven 12345 into the divine lab.
Inside, it was an unusual spatial structure. Hao Ren conjectured that the building must contain many complex space expansion settings so that the internal dimensions were much bigger than when looking from the outside. Magnificent halls were connected to another. Rooms and corridors that seemed to be of unknown uses adjoined each other like a labyrinth. Overhanging, slanted bridges, long ladders, and ramps sometimes floated in the air. Doors just stood at the end of the pathways with nothing around them. Sometimes Hao Ren saw more labs behind the door, and sometimes a large strange dimension. It was like the tower had an endless ‘territory,’ and it could accommodate the whole world in itself.
Apart from this fantastic spatial structure, some humanoid creatures were glowing in light-blue light. Those creatures traversed from door to door, some of them stayed at the runic facilities at the corridors and bridges. These creatures, similar to the Big Bluey, must be the lab assistants of Raven 12345. They were likely living in this giant tower forever.
Raven 12345 seemed to allow everyone to visit the lab of which she was proud and did not forbid anyone to open the doors in the corridors and ramps. She just expressly reminded the group not to step into those doors, and this prohibition was strictly enforced. When White Flame opened a red door out of curiosity, everyone saw that an endless fire filling the entire space behind the door. The fire was thousands of kilometers away, but the flames on its surface were almost close enough to burn those standing at the doorway. Even with a layer of barrier, White Flame could feel the temperature inside was high enough to vaporize her instantaneous.
It was not a firewall inside; it was a star, one that was placed in the lab for experimentation.
Since then, no one else was curious again to step inside those doors.
