Chapter 1625 - Solving the Problems (2/2)
A crystal held on a metal suspension ring floated silently up before them. Asurman’s voice came from inside the crystal. “For those of us, the ancients, it is an honor to die on the battlefield. I think my fellow comrades have no regrets.”
“I am sincerely impressed by your faithfulness to the goddess of creation,” Y’zaks said. “There were many deities in my homeworld. Some of them were almost fanatic, but I had never seen any gods who had died for 10,000 years and still had faithful followers like you all who sought for her with no regrets. I am not surprised if the guardian giants display the same faith to the goddess of creation who has created them, but what you all have done for her was beyond me.”
Asurmen was silent for a moment, and then a pleasant sound as if of the wind chimes came out of the crystal. “It has nothing to do with loyalty or faith. Every Ancient has memories of the dark and chaotic period, and only because of this experience, we understand how precious orderliness was under the goddess.
“You probably could not understand how the period was like because you had never experienced it. Or the more so when it comes to how important the appearance of the goddess of creation to us. We had never thought that there could be a goddess as kind and friendly as her in existence in the chaotic and dangerous universe. The Mad Lord was also a god or godlike being. But it was terrible, wild, and cruel in contrast to the goddess of creation who was equally powerful but had mercy and the willingness to save us. Her appearance had not just change the fate of the Ancients but also the trajectory of the universe and all living beings.
“So, we are acting with a faith that is purer than loyalty and belief. If you must say it; it is another form of extreme loyalty. We fight for the goddess of creation and the order of her creation. For every Ancient, maintaining this order is part of the truth, the natural law of the universe on which we depend and survive.”
“Whether a deity could gain eternality does not depend on its power but actions,” said Y’zaks. “The ones in my homeworld quickly self-proclaimed to be gods just because they occupied half of the planes and felt that it would last forever. But they forever could never understand this point.”
Hao Ren had an urge to join the lamentations, but when the image of Raven 12345 holding a bowl of noodles appearing in his mind, he could not agree more with the words of Y’zaks.
The actions of a deity determine it.
For example, about the issue of image.
No matter how bad the image of Raven 12345 in Hao Ren’s mind, he needed her help this time.
The analysis of the Weaves of Destiny hit a roadblock.
While the post-war reconstruction work began, Hao Ren also started on the study of the Weaves of Destiny. He did not want Vivian to sit on the throne recklessly, but it also did not mean that he was not interested in the ‘miracle’ of the goddess of creation. So, he handed the work to the Crapple Research Station (CARS) and the drone cluster. The drones would be the operator on the Heart, sending back data and intelligence to the CARS computer for analysis. Now, Hao Ren had the first report in hand.
“The core command has a severe defect? More than 90% of the instructions are not enforceable?”
Hao Ren could not help but exclaim with surprise.
The MDT, which was also connected with CARS, said, “That’s right. The scientific drones established a direct connection with the system of the Throne of Destiny with the help of the sprites and successfully read its core program. But then, this problem cropped up. There is a problem with the core database, which is used to activate the Weaves of Destiny. Almost all boot instructions are corrupted. It was also the reason for the sudden blue-screen when Vivian tried to connect to the Weaves of Destiny.”
“How could it be? No doubt that the festered army has caused severe damage to the sacred land, but they have never really broken into the defense of the Heart. The Throne of Destiny has remained unscathed for the last thousands of years, how could it be a problem? Hao Ren was all the more baffled. “Could there be sabotage?”
“Concerning this, I have found something,” the MDT said. “The sprites guarding the sacred land have been troubleshooting for many days, but they have never found the real cause of the BSOD until we get involved. I have pinpointed the problem with the computer of CARS.”
Lily, who listened on with interest, suddenly chimed in and said, “The problem is with the sprites?”
“No, it is not with the sprites,” the MDT said. “I have studied the workflow of the sprites. They troubleshot the system by comparing it with the holographic snapshots, which were taken on the day after the completion of the Weaves of Destiny. The snapshots have detailed records of all the original parameters of the network, with which the sprites compared the actual network parameters to find the faults.”
The truth suddenly dawned on Hao Ren.
This Weaves of Destiny was flawed right from the beginning!
