Chapter 1673 - The Inheritance (2/2)

Hao Ren summed up the number and quality of the probes he left behind. He found nothing wrong and nodded. “Nolan, connect to the real-time monitoring data stream over there.”

“Then, find a place where we can look out into space,” Rheia continued.

Hao Ren thought for a moment and said, “Well, there’s an observation deck on the top floor. We can open it up and look out into space. Is that enough?”

“That’s great!” Rheia smiled and said.

They left the bridge and headed for the observation deck. When they arrived, they saw that the area was already occupied. Lily, Nangong Wuyue, and Rollie were each holding a soft drink, looking at the stars.

Hao Ren thought that the three girls had gone there to watch the stars and discuss poems, but as he got closer, he realized that was not the case. Lily was there, biting her straw and boasting about her powers. “Right then, we were equal in strength. To overcome one’s self is the most difficult thing in the world. You know, I don’t necessarily win fights, but I’ve never lost a fight…”

“Yes.”

“Right.” Nangong Wuyue and Rollie listened to her and nodded.

They all instantly jumped up with embarrassed smiles on their faces once they noticed Hao Ren standing behind them. Hao Ren just waved and said, “I didn’t hear anything.”

“Ahem…” Lily smiled awkwardly and noticed the goddess of creation standing next to Hao Ren. “What are you two doing here?”

“I don’t know,” said Hao Ren, pointing at Rheia. “I’m waiting for her to demonstrate.”

“Transmit the real-time image of the Solenne Galaxy and project it to… this position. I need the angle to be at xxx-xxx-xxx,” Rheia said directly.

Holographic projections could be generated anywhere inside the Petrachelys, so the real-time image of the Solenne Galaxy immediately appeared in front of them. At Rheia’s request, behind the projection was a vast expanse of space.

Rheia was looking at the projection. Suddenly, something changed in one of her eyes. Her eye gradually turned a cloudy gray, and golden light twinkled in her eyes. “Maintain this projection and transmit another real-time image. I need the angle to be at xxx…

“Keep the two projections and switch the angle to…

“Switch the angle to…

“Superimpose all the images, then work out how the galaxy will change over the next 200 years based on the current time, highlighting the orbits of all the stars.

“Now, highlight the orbits of all the planets and continue to move 200 years back…”

The golden light in Rheia’s eyes began to disperse, and they were projected onto the holographic projections in the air. Hao Ren felt the space outside the Petrachelys distorting, and something that did not exist gradually emerged.

“Good, all the images are in place. Now invert all the images.”

The holographic projections of the Solenne Galaxy were superimposed, interfered and deformed in a series of complex changes. At first, it seemed to become a mess of lines, but gradually, a sphere with a complicated structure but subtle sense of regularity appeared at the center of the picture. When the goddess of creation ordered all images to be reversed, everybody gasped.

All the images were put together into something completely new. That was the blueprint of the Creation’s Engine! And that was the missing part of the core blueprint Hao Ren needed!

Rheia blinked, and her eyes returned to normal. Soon after, the holographic projection floating in the air slowly dispersed. Outside the spaceship, however, in the area previously covered by the holographic projection, a huge pale-gold complex structure appeared and was slowly moving under the power of the divine.

“How can something so important be seen by anyone?” Rheia turned around with a sly smile on her face. “I keep it in one line of sight, which can only be discovered from a particular angle and order.”

Hao Ren gulped. “You made the code so complicated… If you were really dead, who would find the engine?”

“That’s one of Vivian’s tasks,” Rheia said, shaking her head. “Why do you think the Gate of Solenne suddenly broke away from the Umbral Realm and appeared in the real world? That was a signal for Vivian to pick up the goods… Nobody expected her to lose her memory.”

Hao Ren finally saw the light.

Rheia looked at the Creation’s Engine in the universe (which was technically the core of the engine) and said, “Years of hard work… It’s yours now.”

Hao Ren was about to say thanks but Rheia went on, “I knew it. You’re here for my inheritance!”

“Hey…”
