Hao Ren was somewhat bothered by the last few words Raven 12345 had said, but he knew that unless the time was right, Goddess Sister would not explain too many details to him. Thus, after agonizing over it for a few seconds, he temporarily set the matter aside and continued focusing on the task at hand.
The crystal complex was still growing on its own. It continued perfecting itself like a living thing until the thoughts Raven 12345 had left behind were perfectly carried out. Hao Ren approached the complex and took a look, discovering a series of earth-shaking changes taking place inside: gigantic crystal bridges and rift plains rapidly grew and shifted positions like a stormy sea, while massive bolts of lightning leaped between the crystal clusters, charging some newly grown arcane-energy devices. At the same time, some information surged directly into Hao Ren's mind when he touched the crystal complex's outer shell.
He was stunned for a moment before confirming that it was the crystal complex's structural diagram and activation method. Naturally, it only covered operation. Knowledge of the underlying principles could not simply be stuffed into his head.
Hao Ren backed away a little and gazed at the magnificent sight. He knew that this unbroken range of crystal mountains would become his largest research base in the Dream Plane. It was a Space Station, as well as the safest possible container and prison. From now on, he finally had somewhere to store the large specimens he collected. Here, the secrets of the Firstborn would be completely uncovered.
...Well, perhaps they would not be completely uncovered. It sounded more imposing that way.
However, Hao Ren did not have time to study the thing's manual in detail. The Data Terminal suddenly reminded him, "The Erem Elves have begun teleporting."
