The emergency communication from Lemendusa instantly killed Hao Ren's appetite. The importance of the Creation Engine went without saying. With the great war about to begin, whether it could be assembled and activated smoothly might directly affect the war's final outcome. And now... it had actually malfunctioned?
"What exactly happened?" Lia's expression also turned unusually grave. She sprang to her feet. "Hadn't we already solved the Heart of God's compatibility issues during the simulation tests? And the Heart of God's hardware passed its first connection test too..."
"The Heart of God is fully compatible with the Creation Engine as a whole. The problem lies with those three golden discs," Lemendusa explained. "The abnormal Information Fluctuation was released by the discs. We tried resetting their databases, but ran into a very strange... situation."
The "golden discs" Lemendusa mentioned were the three Hao Ren had collected during his previous operation in the Dream Plane. Although the other nine discs had been taken into the Dark Abyss by the Destruction Goddess, the remaining three were all in Hao Ren's hands. They could not form a complete computational array, but they had still been installed inside the nearly completed Creation Engine to serve as secondary processors and instruction caches. Those functions were quite necessary.
After all, the Heart of God was not originally the core of the Creation Engine. As a product of another world's technology tree, synchronization issues between it and the Creation Engine were inevitable. Although software could make the two systems compatible, hardware buffering and signal conversion were still indispensable. Lemendusa's best solution had been to use the Creation Engine's original computational core—the golden disc array—as its secondary processor. Lia had also confirmed the plan, deeming it the only solution they could think of.
To be honest, Hao Ren would rather
