Hao Ren did not immediately understand what Raven 12345 meant. He gazed at the little mermaid, and then concluded, “So it means she’s powerful? But why?”
“Symbolism. Although this is a vague concept for ordinary people, in some high-level concepts, the ‘symbolism’ of one thing often has great significance,” Raven 12345 explained patiently while playing with little mermaid. “For a living universe, the ‘life system’ is one of the important messages of this universe, so it will also be included in the ‘symbolic’ system. A single living individual is subordinate to the sum of life. So, a single individual is less than the life as a whole, just like a grain of sand is just one of the cornerstones of the entire desert. But something very rare happened to Lil Pea: the universe of her home was destroyed. She’s the only one left in the life system of that world…”
“She’s the cornerstone of all sentient beings,” Vivian said while thinking, “she alone represents all living things in the universe, while the lifeblood is just part of another life system, so…”
Raven 12345 laughed and further explained, “So from the rank, the lifeblood has to respect her. Although they come from different universes and belong to different life systems, it seems that the lifeblood can still recognize the unique nature of Lil Pea. Plus what I just said: The Goddess of Creation represents the beginning of all sentient beings, and Lil Pea represents the end of all sentient beings, which is also a very important symbolism.”
Lil Pea was listening to their conversation. She knew that they were talking about her, but the little one did not care about it at all. On the one hand, she did not really understand it, and on the other hand, she was far too young to think about such complicated things. So the little mermaid just continued waving her arms chasing Raven 12345’s fingers, looking bright and happy.
She was completely unaware of the destruction of her homeland, and she did not know what ‘perish’ meant. And even if she knew about it in the future, it would be hard for her to feel anything about it. After all, she was brought back home by Hao Ren when she was an egg. Compared to her hometown and the people she never met, she might be closer to the pot in the house.
After listening to Raven 12345, Hao Ren found it inconceivable. “Really?!” he asked while touching his chin.
“This is the realm of surrealism,” Raven 12345 smiled and said, “but it is the ‘fundamental reality’ that many universes follow. Sometimes young mortals think of the world as a perfectly rational, describable, and accurate model. But in fact, the universe operates in an incredible way in the deepest part of it. Just as the atoms will stagnate while being observed, and the universe smaller than the Planck scale is not continuous. Humans have come into contact with the quantum realm, so as you dig down, you will find that the world was built in a strange way, but ended up as a seemingly rational and sturdy fortress. But the more a creature had evolved, the harder it is to reach the deepest parts of the world. On the contrary, the pure lifeblood, which is the beginning of life, can feel the special nature of Lil Pea by instinct.”
Hao Ren was a little confused and found it hard to believe but could still understand what Raven 12345 just said. “It sounds like philosophy. But the fundamental laws of the universe are so messy, are you sure that no one cut corners while creating the universe?”
Raven 12345 glared at him and yelled, “Nonsense! Do you know how many test reports there are when every universe leaves the factory? You won’t understand even if I tell you.”
Hao Ren found that this was a field that he could not understand, so he coughed softly to change the subject, “Ahem, anyway, I understand the special nature of Lil Pea, but what’s the use of it? Now we just found out that the lifeblood is afraid of her, but the little kid doesn’t seem to grow up…”
“Of course she doesn’t. It’s not something super powerful. She won’t have any change and only the lifeblood can feel her special nature. So she’s still an ordinary little mermaid, and she’s still eating chopsticks.”
Hao Ren thought that Lil Pea would immediately become stronger after the secret was unveiled, so he was disappointed when he found out that nothing special had happened to the little mermaid. She just had a title that sounded really cool but it had nothing to do with her power. He took the little mermaid back and carried her in his arms, and then, a thought flashed through his mind. “Wait, do you already know these special things about Lil Pea?”
“Yup,” Raven 12345 answered without hesitation.

“The special nature of Lil Pea will only affect the lifeblood but not ordinary creatures or maybe the Goddess of Creation and Lil Pea can sense each other… Have you planned it?” Hao Ren asked.
“No.” Raven 12345 shook her head. “But now it looks like Lil Pea is going to be a key part, so maybe there’s something in it. It’s destiny.”
Hao Ren observed her expression earnestly but he could not read anything from her face. Hao Ren would not be able to read her mind, whether she intended to conceal it or not. Therefore, he gave up and pushed Vivian forward and said, “The second thing is about her.”
“Oh?” Raven 12345 raised her eyebrow.
“I went to a place called the Solenne Gateway…” Hao Ren told raven 12345 what happened there and also showed her the CCTV footage. “Now we have confirmed the origins of Vivian and how she was born, but the details are a little different from what I guess at first. It now seems that Vivian had been designed to be self-conscious from the start and had a strong ability to learn, and she could even open the teleportation portal that teleported her from the Plane of Dreams to the Surface World. This shows that the Goddess of Creation not only knew of the existence of the Wall of Reality but also had a very good understanding of its nature. At the same time, she also knew the existence of the Surface World.”
“So the Goddess knew the existence of the Wall of Reality from the beginning…” Raven 12345 said, narrowing its eyes slightly, “but you said that the guardians of the Goddess did not know about the wall.”
“The guardians don’t know everything about the Goddess of Creation,” Hao Ren explained. And at the same time, it reminded him of the Creation’s Engine, but they were now discussing Vivian’s issues, so he decided to talk about it later.
Vivian looked at Raven 12345, then suddenly stepped forward and said, “Now both Hao Ren and I think that the Goddess of Creation had a mission for me. Since she gave a database the ability to think, there must be something that she wanted me to do… But I forgot the most important part.”
“Mission… Was it to revive the Star of Creation? Or to revive the entire cosmic ecosystem? Or to solve the problems of the rebels?” Raven 12345 said while looking at Vivian’s eyes, “I think the most suspicious thing is that you appeared on the rebels’ spaceship. If the Goddess just wanted you to walk through the Wall of Reality, she could open a door anywhere. She must have the power to do it. But why is it that your first task was to ‘visit’ those treacherous children?”
Hao Ren noticed that Raven 12345 used the word ‘visit’ and asked, “You mean Vivian’s mission could be to negotiate with those treacherous children?”
“She appeared on the ship after all. But of course, it could be a mistake. The Goddess of Creation might have missed the target. But in such a big universe, how likely would she accidentally throw it right into the center of the control room of a spaceship?”
Hao Ren was speechless. He suddenly came up with a bold idea and said, “What if Vivian is a weapon? Maybe the Goddess threw her on the rebels’ spaceship to steal something from them or even control the spaceship?”
“According to the CCTV footage, I don’t think Vivian had this kind of ability at that time.” Raven 12345 shook her head and said. “Although those treacherous children were afraid of her, judging from the performance before and after their evacuation, it was not impossible for them to deal with her. They just need to pay a price.”
Hao Ren stopped talking and quietly pondering the meaning behind these things.
He had overlooked this point: Why was the first stop of Vivian after being created was the spaceship of treacherous children?
If this point was really the key, then was Vivian’s mission, or one of the missions, really related to those treacherous children?
