Chapter 550: Non-Intervention

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Before the First Born could be removed from the planet, he must first set up the receiving container. The volatile horror monster must be suppressed at any time in a prison. So Hao Ren and Raven 12345’s shadow a.k.a avatar was first teleported into The Plane of Dreams.

Alamanda, the desolate city of gold, was at dawn at the moment. Arriving on the portal square, Hao Ren saw the first bright ray of sunshine shining from a low angle from the horizon onto the city, scattering its radiance on the ancient ruins. He felt Tannaeans must have a different visual capability from the people of the earth—because when the weather is good, their city was just too dazzlingly bright.

But in any case, starting the project at such glorious moment seemed to be a good sign.

“I’m going to set up the research station on the orbit of Tannagost,” Hao Ren lifted his finger pointing to the sky. “Tannagost is getting a large satellite.”

The planet did not have a large natural satellite like the moon. There were only three tiny rocks orbiting it. The three satellites were too small and obviously not suitable for accommodating the prison of the First Born. Hao Ren believed that once the ‘container’ was established, it would become the brightest light in the night sky of Tannagost.

Raven 12345 looked down at her hands, layers of ripples were spreading away from her. She felt somewhere in the depths of the universe.. or in a certain frequency, there was a hidden force. This force was reacting to her visit.

The Goddess groaned. “Tsk, I can’t believe it; it’s already weakened to such extent but there’s still a reaction. That’s freaking sensitive.”

“Huh?” having not heard what she said, Hao Ren turned his head around.

“Nothing. Let’s waste no time,” Raven 12345 waved her hand, grabbing Hao Ren by his clothes and teleported to the synchronized orbit of Tannagost right away.

After identifying the most ideal location for the ‘container’, Hao Ren took a few step back. Raven 12345 swiftly snapped his fingers; even though it was in a vacuum, her voice was still spreading like a resounding soul. “Let there be light.”

The dark space was instantly filled with light, it was so overwhelmingly bright that it spread across the entire galaxy.

“Dang, it’s too bright. I’ll work better in the dark.”

Then the light was turned off and the space returned to darkness.

Cold sweat trickled down Hao Ren’s forehead as he marvelled: The power of the Goddess was really awesome, but .. was she really serious?

It did not matter how sceptical Hao Ren was, Raven 12345 had begun to create the foundation of the research station. She was going to create a container with divine property, and the container’s shell must be able to withstand the damaging attack of the First Born perfectly so as to avoid jailbreak. This was actually not a very easy job for her considering her current state.

She focused her mind, and used her own ideas to bend the rules of the region.

A light emerged out of nowhere in the space, and Raven 12345 connected her mind with the underlying data of the universe, directly modifying the data to create a miracle that defied any known laws of physics within a limited range. Energy and materials appeared out of thin air, weird crystals began to form in the space and join to create a massive dome.

She also created a number of crystal-like floating platforms, a massive pit in the centre of the floating platforms, then covered with crystal domes right above, and connected the floating platforms together with huge, gleaming giant beams which enabled exchange of data between platforms and held them in place. In the process of this rapid formation, there were a large number of runes glowing in blue shimmering on their surface, as if life was growing on them.

It was the most wonderful, spectacular, and magnificent scene Hao Ren had ever seen: crystal mountains emerged in space and grew rapidly. In just a few blinks of an eye, the crystal mountains and domes had grown so massive that they were almost blocking out the sun. And on these rapidly growing crystals and metals, mysterious runes that no one could understand flew, forming the control and computing centre of the entire facility.

During this entire process, the avatar of Raven 12345 was fading rapidly, the one-off double would soon be gone.

Bending the rules of the universe was very energy-consuming, especially a special universe like The Plane of Dreams.

After the main part was completed, Raven 12345 stopped. Now the entire crystal facility had become a giant man-made object, its width was similar to that of the moon, and it was made up of more than a dozen symmetrically distributed misaligned-ellipsoidal domes, which were separated by two half-ellipsoidal structures of different sizes, and the huge container inside was enough to accommodate the First Born. Some of the domes were expandable, which could even fit even larger thing.

The appearance of this facility had now ceased to change and grow. However, light was still being emitted inside it. It was improving its own structure and ‘growing’ the necessary research facilities. Raven 12345 looked at her creation with satisfaction. She gently gifted it its initial orbit and reset the position of Tannagost to prevent the sudden emergence of this big guy on the orbit from causing undue influence to the planet’s ecology—after all, this crystal mountain range was enough to influence the orbit of other planets.

“Although it was created in a hurry.. but it looks good,” Raven 12345 boasted. “My design intuition isn’t just a hype, I’d once won the award in the City of Shadows Art Competition, especially.. let’s not to talk about that, it reminds me of the lost planet. I wonder where the child is now.”

Keeping his awe of those crystal mountains to himself, Hao Ren drifted up to Raven 12345 and looked at the almost transparent avatar body of Raven. “Are you okay?”

“What problem you think I’ve got?” The Goddess blinked, the realising her situation. “Oh, you’re talking about this. Well, like I said, I won’t be able to get involved in The Dream of Dreams for a long time. This avatar could remain for thirty minutes here was the result of my recent adjustment of the balance of the two universes. Now do understand why as powerful as I am, I have to delegate this job to you?”

Hao Ren frowned. Deep inside, he already had some vague ideas. “What if you get too involved in The Plane of Dreams?”

“Look at the starlight in the distance, and you will know.” Raven 12345 shrugged and pointed to the starry sky.

Only then Hao Ren noticed that the distant stars were showing a strange phenomenon: starlight was distorted, and the various cosmic rays were dragging their long tails and pointing at this direction as if the universe were encapsulated in a spherical glass which made the universe appeared twisted.

“For now, it’s just an optical distortion. What happens next won’t be just about distortion of starlight but the body of stars itself.” Raven 12345’s avatar was getting fainter. She shrugged while saying helplessly. “Do you know that when a normal universe contains a sickly parasitic body, it is a very challenging job to be a God here? It was like on tenterhooks, any intervention of me in The Plane of Dreams—observation, or even merely staring at it—was enough to make this universe experiencing spasm. Even with just a little projection of me in here, it is enough to destroy this place in just thirty-one minutes.”

Hao Ren was stunned.

“..So, I must delegate to the right people, now this is called work specialisation.” The Goddess waved her hand at Hao Ren. “This is my first time helping you in The Plane of Dreams, and probably the last time too. My involvement in this world ends here, and you take up the rest..”

As her words trailed off in Hao Ren’s mind, the avatar of Raven 12345 finally vanished into space. The next moment, the stars of the entire universe were restored back to their respective positions.

Hao Ren scratched his head while cold sweat ran down his spine.

The world was only sixty seconds from total destruction a while ago.

“Dang, that was serious.. you should have said it earlier,” Hao Ren complained to the empty space, and then muttered curiously, “But.. what is the parasitic body about?”
