What Raven 12345 said gave the impression that she was either joking or hiding something. But Hao Ren was dead sure that what the goddess said was truthful. She merely made a passing comment on Lorissa’ hair.
After all, there was nothing the goddess could not do. All the more so when she stabbed the supervisor whom her superior sent.

Ahem,
Hao Ren broke the silence and brought the volunteers’ attention back.
Let’s not talk about hair anymore. Don’t you want to examine them? These people come all the way from the Plane of Dreams…

While he spoke, Hao Ren saw the collapsed
Palace of the Goddess
, which was still billowing with green smoke. He choked back his words.
If you feel like it’s not the right time, I’ll bring them back home first while I wait for you to rebuild the house.


That’s okay. No worries,
Raven 12345 said to dismiss Hao Ren’s concern. She then stepped out of the light, and the holographic image turned into the real goddess herself.
The house is just a place to stay. All the important things have been safely stored away.



The first thing came to Hao Ren’s mind was that the goddess did have a plan sometimes. The second thought that crossed his mind was that the goddess must have blown her house up so frequently that it had become a habit. The third thing that came to mind was ‘holy moly’—the goddess had just declared that her house as an unsafe zone.
While the volunteers were still stunned, Raven 12345 came up to them. With the snap of her fingers, a portal filled with blue light opened in front of them. On the other side of the portal was the figure of a white structure.

It is my lab,
Raven 12345 said and motioned Hao Ren to bring everyone into the portal.
Everything is ready.

After passing through the portal, the volunteers and Hao Ren were amazed by what they saw. He did not know that Raven 12345 had such many hidden places in the divine realm. Behind the portal was an incredibly vast and chaotic space. Hao Ren could not see the boundary of the place, which was shrouded in a blanket of fog. It seemed that something was in there. The ground, made of black crystals, extended outward and disappeared in the mist in the distance. In the middle of this chaotic space, a white tower stood alone on the black crystal land.
The white tower had a beautiful curvy appearance. It was intricately inlaid with golden lines, which gradually shrank from the base up, but expanded close to the top of the tower to form a unique shape. Above the white tower, three large crystals circled the tower. The crystals were filled with complicated and hard to understand magic runes that evolved all the time as if they contained the endless truths and mysteries of the universe. Hao Ren looked up at the crystals and instantly felt dizzy.

Ahh, you have also noticed the crystals.
Raven 12345 saw Hao Ren’s reaction and laughed.

What are those?
Hao Ren pinched his forehead.
It makes me feel dizzy by just looking at them.


I have no idea.
Raven 12345 crossed her arms.
It is a theme pack that I downloaded from the Internet two days ago. I saw many people liked it and got one for my lab.

Hao Ren was dumbfounded.
Oh god, it was nothing like what he had imagined.


Hao Ren no longer looked at the white tower. He could not care less about how important it was. He brought the volunteers and followed Raven 12345 into the divine lab.
Inside, it was an unusual spatial structure. Hao Ren conjectured that the building must contain many complex space expansion settings so that the internal dimensions were much bigger than when looking from the outside. Magnificent halls were connected to another. Rooms and corridors that seemed to be of unknown uses adjoined each other like a labyrinth. Overhanging, slanted bridges, long ladders, and ramps sometimes floated in the air. Doors just stood at the end of the pathways with nothing around them. Sometimes Hao Ren saw more labs behind the door, and sometimes a large strange dimension. It was like the tower had an endless ‘territory,’ and it could accommodate the whole world in itself.
Apart from this fantastic spatial structure, some humanoid creatures were glowing in light-blue light. Those creatures traversed from door to door, some of them stayed at the runic facilities at the corridors and bridges. These creatures, similar to the Big Bluey, must be the lab assistants of Raven 12345. They were likely living in this giant tower forever.
Raven 12345 seemed to allow everyone to visit the lab of which she was proud and did not forbid anyone to open the doors in the corridors and ramps. She just expressly reminded the group not to step into those doors, and this prohibition was strictly enforced. When White Flame opened a red door out of curiosity, everyone saw that an endless fire filling the entire space behind the door. The fire was thousands of kilometers away, but the flames on its surface were almost close enough to burn those standing at the doorway. Even with a layer of barrier, White Flame could feel the temperature inside was high enough to vaporize her instantaneous.
It was not a firewall inside; it was a star, one that was placed in the lab for experimentation.
Since then, no one else was curious again to step inside those doors.
Hao Ren was amazed. He could not help but shake his head and said,
Now I will not be surprised anymore even if there is a galaxy behind one of these doors. You are a daredevil.


Ahh,
Raven 12345 said casually.
In the third room on your left is Delta-33 galaxy, much bigger than the Andromeda.


That sounds interesting!
Hao Ren said.

I can’t help it. I just signed up for the tuition class for the gods of creation. And I only found out that it was a freaking difficult lesson the first day. So I had to buck up lest I will lose face,
Raven 12345 said.


Hao Ren was speechless.
God is attending a tuition class? WTF! Hao Ren lamented.
After moving in the incredible white tower for a while, Raven 12345 finally brought the group coming before a floating white wooden door, which was suspended a dozen centimeters above the ground. It seemed that there was neither a door frame nor a room behind the door, but Hao Ren would not be so naive to think that there was really nothing behind it.

Here we are,
Raven 12345 said as she pushed the door open.
It is an observation room specially arranged for you all.

The door swung opened, but behind the door was a very empty hall. Before this, Hao Ren thought that there would be many experimental equipment and facilities such as a dormant cabin inside. But it seemed that aside from a few prismatical crystal columns rising up to the ceiling above and a thin blanket of mist floating across the hall, there was nothing else.
This was nothing like Hao Ren had imagined.
The volunteers had been in awe while they were on their way here. Now, they followed Raven 12345 into the room without question. White Flame’s curious eyes darted around the empty place. She could not help but ask,
Are we now in the ‘examination’ room?


This is not the same as the examination I have thought of.
Lorissa looked a little nervous. She was only a clone of the elven queen after all. The wisdom and character she inherited from the queen were not as steady as it looked.
What do you want us to do?


You all don’t have to do anything, just stand here,
Raven 12345 said with a smile.
I will transform your bodies. After this process, you will recover safely. So no worries. In the process of morphological transformation, you may find that your perception of the outside world changes. You will have some super-experience and even super-dimensional senses. These perceptual experiences will be of help when you explore the field of magic. It is also a reward for your cooperation in the experiment.


Transformation?
White Flame frowned.
Are we going to change into something weird?



Raven 12345 shook her head.
No, you won’t, because you will be completely out of the concept of visible entities. Here you go!

As soon as the goddess’ voice trailed off, a halo shrouded the ten experimental participants, including Lorissa. Before anyone could say anything, they instantly became a group of pulsating mist before gradually dissipating in the air.
The ten volunteers were gone just like that.
For sure, Hao Ren knew that the experiment was harmless, but he was still shocked.
Holy moly! I would have thought that there was an accident had I not known it in advance.

Raven 12345 rolled her eyes at Hao Ren. She then drew runes in the air with her hand.
Who do you think I am that I would allow accidents to happen?

The fact that the goddess’ mansion had been rebuilt many times proved that she was bluffing. But Hao Ren was wary of her Lightning Bolts and decided not to say more.
Has the examination started?


In fact, the results are ready,
Raven 12345 said with a subtle expression on her face.
It is interesting, very interesting.
