Knowledge did not equate to wisdom, and erudition did not equate to shrewdness. Both Y 'zaks and Ymir were experts in the field of the soul and the mind. Their theoretical knowledge of rebirth and memory inheritance was unquestionable. At least on Earth, no one could claim to be more professional than them. But when it came to what happened to the husky Lily, they were not as thorough as Hao Ren.
Lily's amnesia of her past life had nothing to do with the reincarnation of her soul. It was purely because the First Sage had accidentally reincarnated into the wrong body. The First Sage's soul was damaged in the process of transforming this new body.
Hao Ren could come up with a formula to explain the process: (genius + dumbass) ÷ 2 = Lily.
But it was clear that the person involved did not agree with this fallacy. Lily was still hanging on Hao Ren's arm, growling threateningly. Her teeth were biting on the Steel Membrane Shield, and her mouth was full of golden light.
"That's enough," Hao Ren had to knock Lily's head to remind her. "The facts can't be changed. Besides, you have already accepted your husky race. Why can't you accept the process of reincarnation? "
Lily finally loosened her mouth and bared her teeth at Hao Ren. "I don't care about reincarnation! I care about your stupid mouth, Mr. Landlord! Why do you sound so annoying when you say it out loud? "
Hao Ren scratched his head and thought, "The first sage reincarnated into the wrong body of a dog and lost all her memory." Who could have said it in a more euphemistic way?
"Well, anyway, we have figured out the process." Vivian had to say something to smooth things over. But she was no calmer than everyone else. Her eyes kept scanning Lily. "Doggie, do you remember anything else? About your previous life? "
Hao Ren was a little nervous when he heard this. He could not help but stare at Lily's eyes. A question came to his mind: what if Lily really recovered all her memories of her previous life? What should I do?
Her time as the first sage was far longer than her time as a husky. The vast inheritance of memories was enough to completely change a person's inner self. If the memory of the First Sage came back, would Lily still be Lily? Was she still the same dog girl who only knew how to eat and never go hungry? Was she still the same dog girl who would admit defeat even when fighting with a cat?
Hao Ren felt weird at the thought of the cheerful Lily turning into a bitter and vengeful demon hunter leader.
Lily, on the other hand, frowned and tried to think for a while. Her expression was as confused as usual. "I did remember a lot of things, bits and pieces, but I don't think there's any change … It's like watching someone else's experience. Hmm, I don't feel anything, not at all. "
Hao Ren breathed a sigh of relief. The extra memories that came out of nowhere did not affect her?
"It seems that the process of rebirth has changed the structure of her soul. Coupled with the incomplete inheritance, she has no sense of identity with the extra memory fragments," Ymir said as he opened his eyes. There was a glimmer in his eyes as he observed the changes in Lily's brain waves. "The soul fragments that wandered in the Netherrealm Clock Tower have returned to her, but it seems that apart from the recovery of some bits and pieces of memory, nothing has changed."
After confirming that Lily was safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, Y 'zaks suddenly received a message from Lanina.
"What's wrong?" Hao Ren asked, noticing that Y 'zaks was fiddling with the magic stone device used by the demon king's army.
Y 'zaks flashed a mysterious smile and waved the communicator in his hand. "Lanina has sent a message. The distortion in the Netherrealm Clock Tower is subsiding, and Hasse has just regained his consciousness."
As Hao Ren had expected, the Godslayer was the source of all the strange phenomena in the Netherrealm Clock Tower. Whether it was the strange passage of time, the walking demon hunters, or the dislocation of the tower's spatial structure, they were all affected by the dark force. Now that the Godslayer was sealed, the Netherrealm Clock Tower had begun to return to its original state.
And if his speculation was right, the captured soldiers of the Council of Elders would gradually wake up in the next few days.
Y 'zaks put away the magic stone device and clapped his hands. "There are a lot of things to deal with. Let's meet up with Lanina first."
Hao Ren nodded. At the same time, he began to think about how much trouble was waiting for him. The civil war in Coldpath had completely deviated from the expected trajectory. The ancient secrets and important intelligence that had been revealed in the incident were enough to give him a headache for a long time. He could take samples of the things about the goddess of creation and deal with them when he got home. But what about the demon hunters?
He glanced at Lily and Vivian beside him. The two 'sages' immediately looked over as if they had sensed something. Two pairs of big, watery eyes blinked. One pair was as calm as water, while the other pair was shining with a dazed brilliance.
Lily was the dazed one, but she was the most important one.
How should he tell the demon hunters the truth about the First Sage? Should he directly push this guy, who was still nominally a werewolf, to all levels of the demon hunters and let them call him ancestor? Hao Ren thought that if he did that, he would be beaten to death.
"What are you thinking, Mr. Landlord?" Lily did not know that Hao Ren was in a dilemma. She was not even affected by the truth at all. The husky's mentality was indestructible. No matter what happened, it would not affect her good mood. "Speaking of which, this mess is finally over. I wonder if that one-eyed uncle, who always keeps a straight face, will be shocked by the truth. "
"You also know that these things can be shocking." Hao Ren squinted at Lily. "I was wondering how to end this. The sages are now all dead, the Council of Elders has been hit hard, and the entire management system of the demon hunters has almost collapsed. Tsk, tsk, it seems that it is not appropriate to tell them about you in this situation. "
"Collapse therapy," Lily said, wagging her tail indifferently as if she did not realize that she was the center of the matter. "Anyway, Mr. Landlord, you can make the decision. I support you."
Hao Ren thought for a moment and felt that it was better not to discuss too difficult a problem with a husky.
They were ready to go to the banquet hall to meet Lanina. After the others left, Hao Ren and Vivian stayed for the time being.
"Anything else?" Ymir's eyes fell on the two of them. His voice was flat and emotionless.
However, Hao Ren noticed that the giant's skull seemed to have aged a lot in an instant after telling everyone what happened. It was as if some spiritual goal that had supported him for a long time had disappeared. Ymir's eyes were full of exhaustion and turbidity.
"Thank you." Vivian was the first to break the silence. She sincerely thanked her old friend whom she had completely forgotten. "Thank you for telling us this, and thank you for the arrangements over the years. It was not easy to resist the whisper of the sword."
"No need to thank me, old friend." Ymir closed his eyes slightly. "I just did what I wanted to do. I am not interested in all the disputes in this world, whether it was Odin, the later demon hunters, or someone who is in charge of this world. These are not important to me. I just want to live a peaceful life, but the Fountain of Wisdom has dried up, so this Netherrealm Clock Tower is my new home. I just don't want this place to be destroyed again. "
Ymir paused for a few seconds. He opened his eyes and looked at Vivian. "Of course, I'm very happy to see you. I didn't expect you to come here to save the day because I don't believe in Beetholis's unreliable prophecy. But you are here. This is probably the only good news in thousands of years."
"He is the one who saved the day." Vivian shook her head and pushed Hao Ren forward. "I am now helping him with something. He is my friend, a very, very good friend."
There was finally a change in Ymir's expression. He looked surprised.
Obviously, he had always thought that Vivian was the coordinator and commander of this incident. He thought that Hao Ren was just a helper, but he did not expect him to be the mastermind.
"Old friend, this is not like you," Ymir said with his eyes wide open. "When did you become a follower of someone? Is he as rich as a country? Or is he poor? "
The old giant thought for a long time. There were only two kinds of people who could be with Vivian: the first kind who could withstand defeat (temporarily), and the second kind who was not afraid of her defeat (permanently).
"It's complicated to explain," Vivian said, twitching the corner of her mouth. "We are not talking about this with you. Hao Ren, you tell us. "
Hao Ren nodded and looked into Ymir's eyes. "Giant, do you know where you come from?"
