"The Denizens of the Stars?" Hao Ren did not expect Muru to suddenly mention this mysterious race. "Do you think they are related to the culprit behind the deicidal incident?"
Muru shook his head. "That's not what I meant. You know, our understanding of the Denizens of the Stars is very limited, and we can't just say that they are related to that incident. I just thought of something from the term 'Echo Wall'. You should remember, we once said that all investigations on the Denizens of the Stars were fruitless, and the only information we had was this: The Denizens of the Stars come from the depths of the universe, and the place where they live is occupied by the Sound of Darkness. "
Hao Ren blinked, and quickly remembered this sentence. This was what he heard from Lemendusa when he asked about the Denizens of the Stars. The race that left this sentence had disappeared with time, but they were the only race that knew anything about the Denizens of the Stars, and this sentence was almost the only clue about those ancient energy creatures. Hao Ren had a deep impression of the 'Sound of Darkness' in this sentence.
"Sound of Darkness, Whispers, Echo Wall, are these just coincidences?" Muru looked down at Hao Ren. "When these words are put together, it makes people think of some secret connection. According to what you said, the Godslayer is a fragment from our universe, and a fragment from tens of millions of years ago. At that time, even us guardians had not been born, but there was already a powerful guy who made this sword, and added the power of the 'Echo Wall' to the sword, so that the sword could trigger the whispers in the souls of mortals. The Denizens of the Stars are the oldest life in the universe, and they already existed when the sword was made. So in that ancient proverb, the 'Sound of Darkness' around the Denizens of the Stars made me think of something … "
Lily was straightforward. "So I think the Sound of Darkness is the Whispers, and the Denizens of the Stars are the Sound of Darkness — at least they are related."
Muru was silent for a moment, but still shook his head. "All the clues point to this, but if that's the case, the Denizens of the Stars' actions of trying to salvage the situation during the catastrophe cannot be explained."
Lily thought for a moment and said, "Maybe they're pretending to be good people, or maybe they went too far and had to clean up after themselves."
Lily's conjecture was simple and crude, but there was some truth to it. While Hao Ren did not want to speculate so maliciously about the mysterious beings that had saved so many lives, he had to admit that the Denizens of the Stars had suddenly become a huge suspect.
The Denizens of the Stars were completely entangled in the whispers, echoes, and sounds of darkness.
But at this moment, Heve, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke. Her voice was soft and soothing. "We can't jump to conclusions just because a mortal race mentioned the 'Voice of Darkness'. After all, that mortal race did not even see a single Denizen of the Stars until they perished. What they left behind is most likely just a religious delusion. And I suddenly remembered something my mother said when she was still alive. It was about the Denizens of the Stars. "
There was a sudden silence, and then Lemendusa said hurriedly, "What did Mother say? Why didn't I know?! "
"It was just a casual conversation. We were chatting about the various mysterious lifeforms in the universe. When we were talking about the Denizens of the Stars, my mother said, 'They are eccentric, but trustworthy. If something really happens one day, you must remember this: they are trustworthy.' But I couldn't understand the meaning of Mother's words at that time. "
Everyone looked at each other. Heve certainly did not mean to hide what the Goddess of Creation had said. She only suddenly remembered it when others had doubts about the Denizens of the Stars, and this was enough to bring out a lot of information.
"It seems that we need to be more cautious when it comes to the Denizens of the Stars," Lemendusa finally concluded. "But before we really find those 'hermits', we still need to maintain a certain degree of vigilance and doubt."
"Then let's put this matter aside for now," Hao Ren said as he put away the Godslayer. "Next thing, I don't know if you know a guardian giant called 'Ymir'? He is wandering in my universe. "
"Ymir?" Lemendusa really had intelligence. "I know three compatriots named Ymir. One was a Vanguard, he was killed early in the war. The other was the Gate of Solenne's Star Orbit Guardian, he also died. The last one was a big shot. He was born in the first batch of us, known as the 'Wise Man Gazing at the Stars'. He was responsible for the monitoring information from all the planets of life in the universe, and the caretaker of all Mother's gardens. But after the war broke out ten thousand years ago, there was no news of him. I always thought he had died somewhere on the battlefield. "
"Then it must be him." Hao Ren gently clapped his hands. "He did not die, but came to Earth with many otherworldlings who crossed the Wall of Reality. I think he had some kind of mission, but like other otherworldlings, he also lost his memory under the impact of the Sin of the Divine Blood."
As he spoke, he let the MDT turn on the holographic projection, and Ymir's picture appeared on it: only a head.
"Mother of Life!" Lemendusa exclaimed when he saw Ymir's condition. "How did our brother … become like this?"
"It was just an experimental accident. His body was destroyed, but his head is still alive," Hao Ren explained. "He now knows nothing about the Plane of Dreams, so I am going to arrange a time for you to meet. I can't bring him to the Plane of Dreams, at least not now, but I have a more suitable meeting place, where you may be able to talk face to face, and do not have to worry about too much pressure on the Wall of Reality. "
"Where?" Muru sounded very urgent.
"I have consulted my superior, and it was her suggestion. There is a place called the Scarred Nebula in our universe, which is a scar in the universe left by a big tear in the Wall of Reality many years ago. The crack is located at the junction of the two universes, where the rules of the two universes have formed a dynamic balance. It will be very safe for you to meet there."
Hao Ren told his plan to the three giants. In fact, he had been thinking about using the Scarred Nebula as a new bridge between the Plane of Dreams and the Surface World for a long time, and his intention was not as simple as letting the guardians communicate with each other. At present, the only passage that Hao Ren used to travel between the Plane of Dreams and the Surface World was still the crack under Andrea Castle in Siberia, which was the only known stable passage. However, the size of the passage was too limited. Even if he used various dimensional equipment to strengthen and expand the crack, it still felt very difficult to transport some large items.
His work today was far from the level where he could solve the problem by himself. He often had to face epic events, and there was no telling when he would need to summon the army again. However, transferring a large number of people to the Plane of Dreams would destroy the Wall of Reality, so he urgently needed to open a new stable passage.
After studying with Raven 12345, he and the goddess agreed that the Scarred Nebula was the best choice. Although the crack had now calmed down, there was still a connection point deep in it. As long as some preparatory work was done, the gate could be opened safely.
Of course, this gate could only be used by Hao Ren to transport ordinary people and materials. Considering the special nature of the guardian giants, they could not completely pass through the Wall of Reality. So Hao Ren would build a special area in the Scarred Nebula, which was equivalent to building a safe island between the two universes, so that Ymir and Muru could meet.
Thanks to Raven 12345's friendly technical support, of course, it was the non-explosive version.
"You can arrange it as you see fit." Lemendusa now had full trust in Hao Ren. "We can go anywhere."
Hao Ren nodded. "No problem, but I'm afraid it will take some time to open this gate. I need to wait for the Wall of Reality to reach its most stable state before I can open the connection point. The next cycle is about a month later. Before that, you can have a video call or something. Here, I'll give you a special communication device. "
As he spoke, he took out a silver-white cube device from his dimensional pocket and handed it to Muru.
"Ymir also has a similar device. This kind of communication device is specially prepared for demigods like you. It can filter out the interference of information when you talk to each other, thereby eliminating the pressure on the Wall of Reality. You can try it. Ymir should be online. "
Muru carefully pinched the communication device with his two palace-like fingers. "Err, do you have a bigger one?"
Hao Ren was speechless. "Damn, I forgot about that!"
