Chapter 331: 306. The Purpose of Liu Mansion
The subsequent development was somewhat beyond Xia Feng's expectations.
A year after arriving at Liu Mansion, Xia Feng and Gong Changyi entered the inner compound.
Liu Mansion was divided into an outer and an inner compound, and every master-servant pair who had lived in the outer compound for one to two years was given the chance to enter the inner compound to enjoy better treatment.
Of course, having better treatment also meant access to the core secrets of Liu Mansion.
As a result, Xia Feng met Liu Mansion's owner, Liu Zhengen.
A middle-aged man with a monocle with gold rims, wearing a white lab coat, his face pale, emanated a gentle demeanor.
At that moment, he was leaning on a lab bench, holding a thick stack of documents in his hands, continuously flipping through pages, and said warmly,
"Gong Changyi, Xia Feng, the spiritual particle compatibility is 99.87%, the psychological deviation is 91 degrees."
As he spoke, his grey-green eyes narrowed slightly, glancing up at the two children standing before him,
"Your compatibility is the highest among the tens of thousands of master-servant pairs over the years; it's almost a perfect match. However, the psychological deviation is also the highest. Gong Changyi, you know what this means."
The girl in the white dress turned her head to look at the confused boy next to her and smiled lightly, shaking her head:
"Doctor Liu, there's no need to scare me. Considering that I can adapt 100% to the Eternal Day Core, Xia Feng and I are already among your most likely successful experiment subjects."
The girl with the fox-shaped eyes lifted them slightly, "You have no other choice."
"Oh? It seems you have indeed overheard quite a few secrets over the years."
Liu Zhengen sighed sentimentally, his smile gentle, "Then, would you mind informing me of the level of your Spiritual Artifact?"
The girl in the white dress did not hide anything: "S-grade."
"Indeed, no wonder you were able to evade the spirit particle detection instruments."
Liu Zhengen sighed softly, then shook his head with a faint smile, "However... to encounter an S-grade, it seems I am indeed quite lucky."
As the two conversed, Xia Feng silently observed the black-dressed woman curiously wandering around the lab, touching this and looking at that. It was clear that Miss Mu was very interested in Liu Zhengen's experiments.
"By the way, Miss Mu, are these experimental records real? Do they also exist in my memory?"
Xia Feng was somewhat puzzled. Logically, even if these experiment records appeared in his Memory World, they should be blank.
But looking around, it seemed all the data and records were extremely detailed and thorough.
Could it be that he had memorized all the data and details from the lab when he was younger?
"This is the power of Law,"
Mu Qingtong explained softly, "The nightmare, as a disaster of the Seven-Eyed Level, has already touched the domain of the Law. Therefore, the Memory World constructed by its abilities is not solely made up of living memories. This Memory World is also capable of replicating established history from the river of time, using the laws of the Present Realm as a foundation.
To put it simply, it can perfect and detail things that appeared in your memory but lacked specifics, making them as real as in the physical world."
"Of course, the extent of this replication also depends on the Level of the nightmare disaster itself. If it achieves the Eight-Eyed Level, it will then be able to replicate the information from B-grade and even A-grade Spirit Papers."
Holy shit, that's actually quite amazing... Xia Feng thought the nightmare disaster was a treasure; not only could it help recover memories, but it also provided access to various Spirit Paper information...
Well, of course, the precondition is that it reaches the Eight-eyed Level and ascends to godhood!
The moment he thought of this, Xia Feng couldn't help but look forward to the nightmare's rapid ascent to godhood, so he and Mu Shen could go find this big brother to play with.
As Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong engaged in a mind-to-mind conversation.
Little Xia Feng tugged uneasily at the hem of the white-dressed girl's sleeve. He couldn't understand the conversation, something about compatibility, something about the Eternal Day Core...
He was very confused, and it made him somewhat anxious.
"It seems your attendant still doesn't quite understand the trial he's about to face."
The middle-aged man adjusted his monocle on his right eye, a pale golden sheen gliding across the lens as he scrutinized the boy. After a moment's thought, he tapped his knuckles on the table and rose.
"Come with me, let me show you what a real Divine Object is."
The massive wall in front of the laboratory shimmered with a silvery luster and suddenly parted, like city gates opening a crack, emitting a dim light from within.
The middle-aged man stepped in slowly.
Little Xia Feng looked hesitantly at Sister Yi.
The girl in the white dress ruffled his hair, then took his little hand and whispered gently, "Don't be scared, your sister is here."
"Okay." His heart stabilized instantly, and he gripped the girl's delicate palm tightly as he followed her into the dimness.
The scene inside the door was not hell.
It was a high-tech, grandiose experimental shaft.
Externally, it was a semi-transparent glass cylinder with a radius of ten meters and a height of one hundred meters, filled with pale golden light streams, like a thunderous column that spanned from earth to heaven, frozen in time, towering in front of everyone.
Around the cylinder were various sci-fi-like instruments, with laboratory staff in navy-blue uniforms and protective goggles bustling back and forth.
Some continuously adjusted the equipment, some took notes while occasionally glancing up at the light column, then whispering to each other.
Little Xia Feng donned the protective goggles handed to him by the staff and immediately felt a relief for his eyes.
Upon first entering, the direct glare from the light column had caused his eyes to tear up painfully.
It seemed that this light column was the subject of Liu Mansion's research.
Through the goggles, he gazed curiously and then noticed that the glass cylinder wasn't just filled with pale golden light streams.
In the midst of those stagnant lights, a golden orb pulsated, expanding and contracting, with a redness so intense it turned pale, flowing and exploding along its surface, like the sun, releasing an endless radiance.
"This is the 'Divine Relic – Eternal Day Core,' the object you two are to devour," Liu Zhengen said with a warm smile, looking at the boy. "You've had perfect scores in all your 'Divine Study' classes this year, so you should know that 'Eternal Day' is one of the Twelve Main Star Gods, ranking within the Twelve Palace, with Divine Authority of 'Eternal and Utmost Day.'"
The boy nodded; he still couldn't grasp what gods truly were, but he could memorize facts.
In ancient times, due to unknown reasons, the gods fell. The Eight-eyed Level Star Gods were almost completely wiped out, the Ninth Rank Star Gods were either sealed, fell into slumber, or were vanquished.
For instance, the Eternal Day Star God had perished.
However, the Eternal Day Divine Authority was particularly unique and bizarre, possessing the ability to make it 'inheritable.'
This inheritability, as the name implies, meant that whoever obtained the core of Its Divine Authority could ascend to the Divine Position, replacing It.
Such an ability, utterly disadvantageous to Itself, was peculiar and unique among the Twelve Main Star Gods.
Xia Feng gazed at the sun-like bright orb within the glass cylinder.
So... the Eternal Day Core before him should be the physical manifestation of the Divine Object of the Eternal Day Divine Authority, post the deity's demise.
The purpose of Liu Mansion became blatantly clear – to create a god!
To usurp the Eternal Day Divine Position!
