Hao Ren separated the Lifeblood sample into several packs, encapsulated in a metal tube that could hold live specimens for a long time. When one opened the shell of the metal tube, one could see the bright red liquid that was sealed in the transparent crystal vial. The strange, life-like red liquid was moving slowly, feeling quite similar to the blood diffusing from the previous Firstborn, but the difference was that the Lifeblood showed a more gentle character, not as violent as the Firstborn’s blood.

If you touched the Lifeblood directly with your skin, you could even feel a sense of comforting warmth permeating you, like the mother of life.

Raven 12345 looked at the liquid in the crystal vial with interest and asked, “Living samples? Where did you get that?”

“From the Disciples of Glory. It’s said that their first pope collected it from the sleeping place of the Firstborn. It’s the residual liquid of the Seed of Origin, so theoretically it’s the closest thing to the Goddess in the Plane of Dreams. Also, the Disciples of Glory blessed their new priest with this. After inoculation with the Lifeblood, ordinary people can get various strange abilities, and are said to be able to communicate with the Goddess.”

“They can communicate with the Goddess?” Raven 12345 raised her eyebrow and said, “but according to the information I got… The information response of that Goddess of Creation has been collapsed. There’s a very high likelihood that she had fallen into some kind of broken state sleeping in the depths of the universe. Who are they communicating with?”

“Who knows?” Hao Ren shrugged and said, “Anyway, according to Big Beardy, devout believers will hear the Goddess’s voice in their mind after the inoculation, and may even learn the knowledge from the Goddess in prayer—one-third of the divine system of the Disciples of Glory is said to have been created out of thin air in this almost ‘tacit divine revelation’ state.”

“Interesting,” said Raven 12345 while fiddling with the crystal vial. Then she placed the other hand over it, some pale blue sparks leaping between her fingers. “But I can’t feel anything… There must be something missing, or the information it contains is too weak to be covered by my power. Maybe I need to do some research.”

Hao Ren then handed over a sample of the ‘Progenitor of Life’ to Raven 12345. He would also be responsible for the researching, and now he gave some samples to Raven for filing purpose. Then, Hao Ren suddenly remembered another thing. “Oh, one more thing…”

He removed a metal safe from his dimensional pocket. A line of words was floating above the metal safe: Civilization of Tannagost, all data, yet to be encoded.

“We have found out the truth of one of the unusual creatures, the Vengeful Spirit,” Hao Ren said while handed the safe to Raven 12345, “They came from a planet called Tannagost, which had perished. It’s destroyed by the Firstborn. This is all their data.”

“Tombstone…” Raven 12345 looked at the silvery-white metal safe and became serious, for the first time there was an inexplicable sense of divine sympathy coming from her like a true Goddess. She stooped and touched the cold metal safe, and said, in a way as if she was talking to both herself and Hao Ren, “you finally come into contact with this.”

“This is the last thing that needs to be handed over to you,” Hao Ren said and put the strange feeling aside, looking at the metal safe that was keeping all the data of the civilization of Tannagost and asked, “Where will this be sent?”

“There is a place dedicated to storing such relics,” said Raven 12345, “it will be treated properly and the data will be transferred to an infinitely large database. This civilization will not be forgotten, since it left a little trace, the empire is responsible for keeping it.”

Hao Ren nodded and then left the wonderful peaks floating in the universe together with Nangong Sanba and ‘Rollie’.

Raven 12345 paused for a moment, and then turned and continued to look at the splendid starlight she had been gazing at.

The distant and magnificent starry sky was still shining bright, seeming to be trying to show the most beautiful side to the Goddess standing on the top of the stars. Those twinkling starlight was sketching all kinds of wonderful picture, looking splendid, and revealing the mysterious and magnificent scenery of the universe.

However, in the reflection in Raven’s eyes, those bright stars were broken apart little by little, revealing the deep truth hidden beneath the surface. The power of Goddess allowed her to directly observe the unknown part of the universe. The dimensions beyond the mortal understanding and the structures that only mathematical formulae could explain unfolded in her eyes, revealing all secrets. Under the starlight, fine cracks were spreading.

It was rippling near the boundary of the universe. In some very remote areas where most mortal may never be able to reach, the physical law of the real world was fighting against some kind of erosion from the other world. An awful giant hidden beneath the real world was trying to break free and had achieved initial success. If there were intelligent creatures living in the remote and ice-cold regions, perhaps they would see the unbelievable strange phenomenon in the starry sky above them, and the cosmic background radiation they could observe was showing two distinctly different forms.

As if there were two universes superimposed on their heads at the same time.

Raven 12345’s eyes reflected the strange dark shadows at the edge of the universe. Certain phenomena took tens of billions of years to be transmitted to this place through conventional light speed, but she could see everything now.

“The border area is starting to get tangled.” Raven 12345 sighed and narrowed her eyes slightly, and the chaotic ‘real starlight’ and the bizarre cracks quickly returned to their original position, and the small chaos that took place on the cosmic border was quickly calm down. “Tsk, the cycle is getting shorter,” she said.

Then she snapped her finger and opened a small World Gate beside her. Meanwhile, a blue arcane servant emerged from the air.

Raven 12345 pointed to the silver box and said, “Take it.”

The arcane servant carried the box without saying a word and walked behind Raven 12345 into the World Gate.

Raven 12345 came to a special place. This was the void node that lying outside of many universes. It did not belong to any world but an eternal space created by the Xi Ling Celestials. Each node shone like a lighthouse in the void, like a server on a network.

Because of the different models, the void nodes also had various forms. Raven 12345’s void node was a continent that floated in the dark. There was a huge central management center in the center of the continent, while in other parts there were mountains and rivers and magnificent silvery-white towers. The whole continent had lush jungles and snowy plains, which was built like a complete world. If no one jumped out of this land, probably no one would ever think of that outside of this ‘world’ was a void.

Raven 12345 and the arcane servant stood on the tower of central management center. There was a series of observation platforms to see the whole space. She looked to the East and saw several small black spots cruising in the air. They were simple spacecraft driven by steel and magic power, and they were clearly not something that the Xi Ling Celestials had made.

This model of the void node was so vast and the habitable area was even as big as a planet, so the administrators here created a group of residents on the continent. After years of development, these residents had established their own country and civilization in corner of the lighthouse of the Xi Ling Celestials.

A young lady in a white dress appeared on the observation platform and said to Raven 12345, “Nimlotte is challenging the sky again. They are interested in the scenery outside the ‘world’. Several tribal states on the northern snowy plains have just completed an integration war. They seem to be suddenly enlightened and are learning Nimlotte’s magic technology.”

“Are they developing a little too fast?” Raven 12345 said and blinked, “They’re created just to make the nodal continent livelier, didn’t expect that they are so gifted.”

“Don’t underestimate their potential, after all, it was made by the Empire,” the lady in the white dress said with a smile, “and there’s good news. The Principality of Sanglan sent an expedition to the ‘Celestial Tower’ a few days ago. They seem to have an interest in the nature of the world. A bunch of inquisitive guys, maybe they’ll find the entrance here soon.”

“Fayna, when are you going to tell them about the situation of this world and what’s happening outside the world?” asked Raven 12345, “They need to grow up. You can’t always treat them as children.”

“Let’s wait until any one of them figure out the equation of mass-energy,” Fayna waved her hand and said, “but why do you have time to come here? Isn’t it nice to be a Goddess?”

“I also have to work,” Raven 12345 said and patted the safe in the hands of an arcane servant, “This is for the third sample library.”

Fayna frowned and asked, “Is it a ‘tombstone’?”

“Unfortunately, yes, it is. Another civilization has died.”
