With Vivian's bloodline activated, the secret vault left behind by the Creation Goddess finally opened without incident. The good news was that there was no rampaging "divine utterance" like Zhao Xi's this time. However, what emerged from the vault was even more baffling than a divine utterance.
It was a gigantic metal sphere.
Hao Ren saw only a colossal object five hundred meters in diameter floating above the Spirit Realm Bell Tower. Although it was still some distance away, he could already feel the immense pressure it exerted. The colossal object was spherical overall, with a pale golden metallic sheen and red and bright-blue patterns visible across its surface. Its structure was extraordinarily intricate, as though it had been assembled from countless metal components. Yet those components did not retain a fixed form. The giant sphere floated high in the sky, every one of its parts constantly operating and shifting, causing the shape of its surface to change from moment to moment. Some of the changes in its finer details completely violated the laws of physics—clearly something that could only be achieved if those components possessed limitless morphing capabilities. As the sphere's surface changed, Hao Ren could also glimpse its interior through the occasional slits and openings. He saw countless turning golden gears and strangely shaped mechanical devices. The inside of the sphere was even more complicated than its surface.
This bizarre metal sphere, which looked both like a product of some super-advanced technology and an incredibly sophisticated magical device, floated several hundred meters above Hao Ren's head. Although it was constantly in motion, not a single grinding roar of machinery reached them. Hao Ren heard only a series of pleasant sounds, like crystals clinking together, lingering in the air. They lent the golden sphere an endless sense of holiness
