The other thing that he needed to show to Raven 12345 were the four scrolls.
Hao Ren still remembered the series of anomalies he had triggered when he read the things on the scrolls in the forest. So he was careful when he took them out. Although it seemed that they were not as dangerous as the cosmic fragment, they were as strange as the cosmic fragment. He placed the scrolls in front of Raven 12345 and told her about his previous experience. "In the end, it triggered a short-term celestial change. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the distortion of the real world that you have sensed before."
Raven 12345 was also interested when she saw the scrolls. She gently tapped her finger on one of the scrolls. "The material is mortal — ordinary magic parchment and a laurel handle soaked in potion. This thing was made by the Olympians. There is no doubt that it is not an extraordinary material like the Godslayer and the cosmic fragment."
Hao Ren was stunned. "Then this thing has the power to distort reality …"
He did not know how powerful the Olympian gods were, but judging from Hesperides's fighting style and some information about the demon hunters, this ancient otherworldling family was just a remnant of a magical civilization. Their technological level was at the planetary level, and their understanding of the forces of nature was still very simple and crude. It was hard to believe that such a civilization had the technology to shake the rules of reality.
But before he could finish, he suddenly realized where the power of the scrolls came from: from the things recorded in them.
"You got it?" Raven 12345 looked at Hao Ren with a smile. "How about it? Do you know more about these out-of-control supernatural powers now? "
Hao Ren took a deep breath. "The 'Ancient King' and 'Mad Lord' recorded in the scrolls are the primordial chaos we have just discussed? Most likely, it is the goddess of creation who came to the world, right? "
Vivian's eyes widened. When she heard Hao Ren reciting the words on the scroll, she was already very curious about the mysterious sentences. However, she did not think too much about it after that. Now, the direction of the question seemed to be getting more interesting.
As a creature created by the Goddess of Creation, she was instinctively interested in all the secrets of the Goddess of Creation.
"Most likely," Raven 12345 confirmed Hao Ren's speculation. "These scrolls themselves are not special, what's special is what they record. These records have touched upon some of the deepest secrets of the universe, and supernatural powers have thus seeped into the information contained in these words. Even if someone were to read them, it would be enough to cause the release of power. "
Hao Ren was dumbfounded. "Just some records … and they have such an effect?"
"Yes," Raven 12345 blinked. "For some special beings, power can be attached to everything, and this is not the exclusive right of the true gods. The difference between the true gods and the false gods is that there is a kind of information disturbance called 'symbolic power', which allows us to better control the rules of the world. But under this, within the scope of the rules of the universe, the false gods can also show god-like power. The 'Mad Lord' is something extremely close to the gods, so its name and deeds also have considerable power. These scrolls … I don't know how the Olympians got this taboo knowledge, but they recorded this information and brought the power of the Mad Lord to this universe. "
As she said, the corners of Raven 12345's mouth slightly curled up, showing a trace of a smile. "But this thing is unlucky. With me in charge of this universe, it can do whatever it wants. This will only make it easier for us to understand its essence and weaknesses."
Vivian looked at the scroll incredulously. "Wouldn't it be terrible if such a dangerous power could be brought out so easily? What if someone else copied this scroll in large numbers … or spread it around, wouldn't that be the end of it? "
"There is no need to worry about this, because this' power leakage 'cannot be replicated. It is not the scroll that carries the power, nor the words on the scroll, but the' truth 'behind it." Raven 12345 shook her head. "This is difficult to explain. In short, only someone who knows the truth, knows the cause and effect, and records his knowledge personally. Only then can a guy like the Mad Lord have a chance to spread his power. Even if a person who knows nothing copies the scroll a thousand times, it will not cause any harm."
Hao Ren touched his chin thoughtfully. "Oh, I see. In other words, only someone who knows the Mad Lord from the beginning can make this scroll, and the second person who learns this knowledge through the scroll cannot copy it?"
Raven 12345 nodded slightly and said, "This is also why there are many heretical churches preaching those distorted doctrines all day long. They want their 'gods' to be known by more and more people. Only when more and more people understand those distorted and taboo knowledge, the power of the evil god will have a chance to spread. There is a general rule in this regard: the more you know about an evil god, the more you will become its power carrier. When your understanding of it reaches a certain level, you are qualified to become the next 'missionary'. You can obtain taboo power by writing the name of the evil god and recording the deeds of the evil god. But on the other hand, you will be gradually eroded by this taboo power and eventually devoured by it. "
Hao Ren subconsciously muttered, "Has the Olympians secretly turned to the Mad Lord? Well, it doesn't seem right. According to what is recorded on the scroll, they obviously regard the Mad Lord as a dangerous factor. "
"If I am right, the Olympians should be the believers of the goddess of creation, or at least stand on the opposite side of the Mad Lord," Raven 12345 said. "They do not want to spread the Mad Lord, but to record some truth. According to the first paragraph of the scroll, they regard the Mad Lord as a disaster and the gods who come later as the saviour of order. But it is quite dangerous for mortals to study the world of the gods. Although they are very careful and even use a variety of complex text encryption to prevent the power of the Mad Lord from leaking, their contact with this taboo knowledge is essentially a kind of 'learning'. The more they fight against it, the more they become its carrier. I think, even without the Twilight of the Gods caused by the demon hunters, these Olympian gods would sooner or later be swallowed by the nightmare in their memory. "
Hao Ren frowned as he looked at the scroll floating in front of him. "So it uses a variety of text and grammar not to prevent people from deciphering, but to prevent the power of the Mad Lord from seeping through the scroll. But how did they know these secrets? Even the guardians of the goddess of creation do not know about the Mad Lord. How did these Olympians know about it? "
"I don't know." Raven 12345 shrugged. "To be honest, I have always felt that there is something wrong with the guardians of the goddess of creation. They are the messengers of the goddess, the firstborn of the goddess. It stands to reason that they are the closest group of people to the goddess. But now it seems that the goddess of creation has a lot of things to hide from her children. At least, she did not tell them anything before the birth of these guardians."
Speaking of this, not only Raven 12345 was puzzled, but Hao Ren and Vivian had long suspected it. In any case, the guardians should be the most trustworthy to the goddess of creation. No matter how scrupulous the goddess was, she should not be afraid of her children. Moreover, based on the current information, the goddess of creation trusted her guardians very much. Since she trusted them so much, why did she not tell them the truth?
Was it just because of the reason that Raven 12345 had speculated: the goddess of creation did not dare to say the name of the Mad Lord in her own mouth to prevent the ancient demon from escaping?
"The answers to these questions may be in the scrolls." Raven 12345 snapped her fingers, and the four scrolls were shrouded in light and slowly landed on the low table in front of Hao Ren. "Take them back and study them. Also, I'll leave the cosmic fragments to you."
Although it was not the first time that Raven had handed over these tasks to him, Hao Ren still felt curious. "Just leave them to me? Don't you want to take a look? "
Raven smiled slightly and said something that seemed to have another meaning. "I'm watching. I just need to watch you."
Hao Ren had a thoughtful look on his face, but he didn't say anything in the end.
After these things were handed over, Hao Ren mentioned another thing. "In fact, after Hercules' death, I came into contact with a very strange 'illusion.'"
"Illusion?"
"Well, it seemed to be a cosmic starry sky." Hao Ren nodded gently and described the hazy and distorted starry sky he saw to Raven. "Then I was inexplicably ejected again. It seemed to be a still place, and I didn't see any clues."
"Looking at your expression, you should have some guesses about this illusion," Raven 12345 looked into Hao Ren's eyes. "What do you think?"
Hao Ren did not say anything. He just raised his hand and showed the "cosmic fragment" in his hand.
The cosmic fragment lay quietly in his palm, and the starry light wandered in the dark background like a group of brilliant stars.
"You suspect that you have seen the inside of this thing?" Raven 12345's mouth curled up.
"Not just seen, I suspect that I have been in it once," Hao Ren said.
