The basement was a mess. Other than the sturdy Xi Ling equipment that was imbued with a certain degree of divinity, almost the entire room had been destroyed. Shards of the lights and glassware in the room were scattered all over the floor. The walls were full of scorch marks left by the energy turbulence, and many places on the roof were scorched black by the electric shock. The Flamejoy in Lily's hand was the only source of light in the room. Under the flickering light, the basement looked even worse.
"I have to clean up." Vivian put her hands on her hips, frowning as if she had a slight headache. But she did not seem to be too conflicted. As an unlucky person who had been unlucky since ancient times, she had encountered more unlucky situations than this one. She had built her first house with much difficulty, but it was burned down. She was still optimistic about the situation now. "Forget it, we'll talk about this later. Hao Ren, are you sure that that was left behind by the Goddess of Creation … the power? Soul? Obsession? Or something else? "
"It's just a word, just a word." Hao Ren nodded. "I just came into direct contact with it, and I'm very familiar with divine power, so I'm sure that it was left behind by the Goddess of Creation. And only the language of God has this kind of power."
"And only the language of God can torment me to the point of rebooting!" The MDT flew up into the air. "Oh my god, that was so exciting. I've only experienced something like this twice in my life. The first time was just now, and the other time was when Madam Raven was playing with me when I just came out of the box..."
Lily could still vividly remember the oppressive power of the "divine word". The fur on her tail was bristling, and her eyes were shining in the dark. "Are the words of God that powerful? I've never seen anyone get blown up when Goddess Raven talks to us. "
Hao Ren gave Lily a sideways glance. The husky's cowardly reaction was still fresh in his mind. "Nonsense. When she talks to us, she doesn't actually open her mouth. She makes a sound, but it's a 'phenomenon' that she created out of thin air with the power of creation. It's just like when you listen to her voice on a cassette tape. If she really opens her mouth, anyone from Y 'zaks and below would go crazy. Of course, I'm fine with it. I'm a demigod, I'm highly resistant to divine words. "
"So a true god is that powerful." Lily clicked her tongue. "Then why was Zhao Xi …"
Vivian nudged Lily with her elbow. "You have a lot of questions. We still have business here. Let's go check on Zhao Xi first."
Hao Ren nodded and walked towards the door. He had only taken two steps when he turned to look at Vivian. "Oh right, if you don't have a place to sleep tonight, why don't you …"
Vivian looked at Hao Ren with a half-smile. "Don't tell me you want me to share a room with you?"
Hao Ren coughed awkwardly. He did not dare to say that, but it was hard to tell if he had thought of it earlier. Vivian could see his awkwardness. She smiled. "It's okay. I'm good at cleaning. Besides, I can just find a place to sleep. You don't have to worry about me."
As she said that, she summoned a swarm of tiny bats. The bats fluttered in the dark and flew to every corner of the basement. They began to work together to clean up the room. Some of the bats carried positive and negative electric charges and flew in pairs. They were like electric arc lights. Some of the bats cleaned up the broken glass on the floor and on the bed. Some of the bats helped to pick up the furniture. It was a strange and lively scene.
Hao Ren could only sigh. Vivian's skill was really convenient. She had chosen all of her signature skills for housework. She would never be able to do anything else in her life …
Vivian left a few hundred bats in the basement to clean up the room. She and Hao Ren returned to the living room. It was just as they expected. All the electricity was out. The house was pitch black. Even the street outside had no light.
In the dark living room, Hao Ren saw a pair of green eyes glowing. The pair of eyes sneaked out from under the coffee table and circled around him. At the same time, a slightly uneasy whine entered his ears. Hao Ren bent down and patted Rollie's head. "Don't be afraid. It's just a power outage."
"I'm not afraid of the dark." Rollie rubbed herself against Hao Ren's trousers. "But there was something scary down there … Ugh, scary …"
She wanted to say 'God', but the catgirl's vocabulary was limited. She could not get the gist of it. Hao Ren knew what she wanted to say. He patted the catgirl's head to reassure her before looking at Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi was sitting on the sofa with Liu Sheng. Her mind had recovered, but she was still a little listless.
Heavy footsteps were heard outside the door. Y 'zaks pushed the door open and walked in. "Half the street's power is out. Hey, Y' lisabet is outside fixing the transformer. She said the power lines on the street are fine. But the power lines in our house are probably all gone. "
Who knew how people would react if they saw a little loli about a meter tall hanging on a pole fixing a transformer. Crazy goddess, Y 'lisabet was not even as tall as a transformer!
Vivian rummaged through the small cabinet by the door for a while and found two spare light bulbs. She summoned two larger bats and ordered them to open their mouths and bite on the bulbs. The next second, the living room was restored to light.
The two innocent bats were lying on the coffee table with their mouths wide open. They looked like art table lamps.
Hao Ren gave Vivian a thumbs up to show his admiration. He then came to Zhao Xi. "How do you feel now?"
"I feel like I had a very, very long dream …" Zhao Xi's face was a little pale. She usually had facial paralysis, but it seemed to have gotten worse. It was as if her soul had not fully regained control of her body. "What happened?"
Hao Ren sat in front of Zhao Xi. "Do you remember what you were doing at the end? Before you lost consciousness. "
"I was taken into the Netherrealm Clock Tower by the Council of Elders," Zhao Xi said with a frown. "I thought I would be executed right away, but when I was brought into the tower, I realized that the atmosphere was very strange. Everyone was wandering aimlessly, and I became one of them … What happened after that? Is the war over? "
"It ended half a month ago." Hao Ren nodded and told her about the outcome of the Battle of Coldpath. Zhao Xi's condition was different from the other patients with soul detachment. Her mind was not muddled, but she had completely lost consciousness. For the past half a month, her soul had been isolated deep within her body.
After talking to Zhao Xi, Hao Ren stood up and had a rough idea. "Looks like the goddess of creation left something behind in Coldpath. Perhaps it's just a thought. This thought had lain dormant in the Netherrealm Clock Tower for ten thousand years, and had been suppressed by the Godslayer. But recently, it broke free. The reason is probably because the saints performed a ritual on the Godslayer to disperse the power of the sword. Zhao Xi was just accidentally infected. "
The actual process may have been different from what Hao Ren had guessed, but it was mostly correct. The process itself was not important. What was important was the thought left behind by the goddess.
Vivian subconsciously repeated what 'Zhao Xi' had said. "'I forgive my children for all their sins. I will forgive them forever.' Hao Ren, what do you think? "
"Very great, very forgiving, very touching." Hao Ren shrugged. "As a mother who was stabbed to death by her own son, the goddess of creation is definitely a model mother. But I don't think it's that simple. There must be … some other meaning to it."
Lily's eyes widened. "Other meaning? That's pretty straightforward. She probably doesn't care about the children's sins. "
"I'm not saying that there's any ambiguity in the meaning of this sentence, but why was this sentence preserved?" Hao Ren glanced at Lily. "It's just a simple sentence, and it has been preserved in Coldpath for ten thousand years. I have a feeling that it was deliberately left behind … as if the goddess of creation wanted to leave a message for future generations through this method."
Y 'zaks did not think much of it. "The last obsession before her death is the obsession of a goddess. It's normal for it to be preserved until today. And as a parent, I think it's natural for their last thought to be of their children. Perhaps the goddess of creation knew that her death would trigger divine retribution, but she still did not want her children to die. So she wanted to use this method to prevent divine retribution? But she failed. "
The MDT chimed in. "The divine retribution caused by the death of a true goddess cannot be prevented. It's the self-protection mechanism of the world, and the foundation of the entire universe."
Hao Ren looked at the still pale Zhao Xi and suppressed the questions in his mind. He sighed softly. "… Looks like that's the only explanation."
