The return of Earth's nonhumans had stimulated some kind of "system" left behind by the Creation Goddess. A hidden divine-power fluctuation network had finally emerged. However, a network encrypted with divine power was so complex that even the computing power of the Crystal Core Research Station couldn't simply crack it. On top of that, there was an even bigger problem: Hao Ren only dared to keep the network half-activated for now—because he had no idea what this mysterious and immense network was for, much less what consequences its operation might bring. Without knowing its true nature, rashly stimulating this ancient relic would be the ultimate act of suicide.
Four days earlier, after the Chosen Ones had first come into contact with Horleta's ecosystem and triggered the first divine-power fluctuation, he had asked the Crystal Core Research Station and the drone swarm to roughly calculate the fluctuation's energy level. He had also redesigned the subsequent procedures for the Chosen Ones' contact with the various testing sites. From then on, their groupings, routes, time spent at each location, and other arrangements had all been based on not overstimulating this divine-power network.
"Hao Ren's concern is well-founded." Vivian naturally knew about Hao Ren's arrangements. In fact, she had helped design them at the time. She nodded now. "We still don't know what this divine-power network really is, nor do we know whether the Creation Goddess had made any other arrangements when she left it behind. If we recklessly destroy or prematurely activate those things, we may have to face situations we currently have no way to resist."
Lemendusa and Muru nodded solemnly, expressing their agreement with these concerns.
"It's better to be cautious." The female giant Siv also spoke up. "We can set aside the specific content of the information exchanged within this
