The goddess of creation paused for a moment when she saw the stuff inside the box.
Rheia did not expect to see those things. She blinked, trying to find any trace of a joke from Hao Ren's face, but she was bound for disappointment.
"Are you... serious? That's what can boost my strength quickly?"
Hao Ren bent down and took out the books as well as teaching materials from the box."Look, this is about divinity, this is about controlling one's own power, and this is about the interpretation of the rules of the world as well as the interpretation of the laws of the gods. While these are about the science of creation and the science of destruction. You can make up for all your deficiencies here. Your overall strength will increase by at least 50%. I would not kid you. Knowledge is power!"
"I know knowledge is power, but..." Rheia took a thick leather book, which Hao Ren had handed to her, as she grunted. The book's title was written in unknown words, but because of its divine power, the book's message could be presented without words. Hence, she could easily understand the meaning of the title."An Introduction to the Dismantling and Reassembling of Laws... What the hell is this..."
She opened the book as she spoke, and the power in the book was instantly released. The vast amount of information compressed and contained in the pages was immediately appeared before her eyes. Rheia's expression froze at this moment. She held the book like she was petrified, enduring the baptism of knowledge she had never come into contact with before until Hao Ren waved in front of her eyes.
"Hey, hey, wake up. How's it? Now, do you see why knowledge is power?"
"This... This..." Rheia stammered."Is all this true? Can knowledge be expressed so clearly? The knowledge can actually be summed up to this extent?"
"I have seen only a small part of it, and I am not a god, so I cannot say how much weight the knowledge has. But one thing is certain: it is all accumulated, summed up, and fabricated by countless gods over countless years. It's that simple and clear."
Rheia blinked and sank herself back into the big book, feeling very excited."Yes, it's that simple and clear! These things... I've thought about these before, but it's vague, and many of them had happened to me before, but I never thought they could be explained in this way... That's amazing! Where did you get these treasures? These are priceless..."
"My boss got them from a second-hand book market. Although she told me that these are imported advanced textbooks, I found a small advertisement for wholesale second-hand books in the box, " Hao Ren explained.
"Huh?"
"Don't be so surprised. I told you there are endless worlds out there and three ancient god families... These gods have summed up their life experience. I hope you don't mind if I speak frankly. Your place is really like a remote village in the void, and you haven't received a proper education, which is why you were easily defeated by the Mad Lord..."
"Haha... So it's my fault I live in a remote village..." Rheia looked awkward.
"Ahem, you don't have to care about that. Although you live in a remote place, you still have a lot of potential. You see, you built the Weaves of Destiny without going to school, which is quite extraordinary..." Hao Ren tried to lighten the atmosphere.
"Haha... So it's my fault I didn't go to school..."
"How could it be your fault? There's nothing you can do. Your background is actually quite extraordinary. Do you know where you come from?"
He finally put an end to Rheia's complaints. The goddess felt that the greatest mystery of her life was her origin. It all began the moment she opened her eyes on the sea of the Star of Creation. This question had always been lingering in her mind.
"Where did I come from? You know the answer?"
"I did a lot of work to check your origin, " Hao Ren smiled and said."You were supposed to be a member of the Galacticus Lords, but your birth was a complete accident..."
"My parents eloped?" Rheia exclaimed before he could finish.
"Ahem... Who says that! I haven't..."
"Oh, it's ok. I can understand it, " Rheia interrupted with an understanding look on her face."I was born out of wedlock, right? Well, I can take it... Huh? Or even worse? Oh my..."
"Stop!!! I haven't said anything yet. What are you imagining? You were born by accident because of your mother..."
Then he told Rheia the complete story with the fastest speed and strongest word compression ability in his life... By the time he finished, he felt his tongue was twitching. Rheia, on the other hand, was staring at him in bewilderment.
A moment later, Rheia blinked and said, "You were talking too fast..."
"What?" Hao Ren could not believe that he might have to repeat the entire story.
"But I get it. I really didn't expect it... I've speculated about the cause of my birth, even the origin of the universe, but never thought that... A drop of divine blood? No wonder..."
"What do you think of where you come from? Do you feel a little lost knowing that you're just a drop of forgotten blood?" Hao Ren carefully observed Rheia's expression.
Rheia thought for a moment, then suddenly shook her fist with a look of great excitement on her face and asked, "According to you, is my mother super powerful?"
"Huh?" Rheia's reaction went beyond Hao Ren's expectations.
"I'm not narrow-minded. Why bother with details?" Noticing Hao Ren's expression, Rheia glanced at him and explained, "I know that they didn't mean to abandon me. If so, why should I complain?"
"That's great!"
"The Dark Valkyrie is really quite a powerful goddess, " Hao Ren went on."She has a dual goddess identity from both Galacticus and Xi Ling, and she's got senior titles on both sides, and she's very good at fighting, and she's an excellent student. In fact, she co-wrote some of the textbooks in the box. And you... You're actually not her 'complete' daughter. After all, you're just a drop of her blood. But as your identity is a little complicated, so the divine community committee will still see you as her daughter..."
"Well, I see." Rheia then thought for a moment and asked, "Now that I have found my mother, when can I see her? Or does she want to see me?"
"She cares a lot about you, but you can't see her for the time being. On the one hand, there is an expedition going on at the moment. The Dark Valkyrie is one of the main commanders of this expeditionary force, and she won't be able to make time to see you. On the other hand, the crisis of the Plane of Dreams is not over. Until the universe is stable again, we'd better not make any changes."
"All right, all right, I understand." Then she turned to the box of books."So... knowledge is power?"
"Yes, knowledge is power." Hao Ren nodded solemnly.
