The storm had stopped, just as suddenly as it appeared.
The blood-red tornado dissipated into thin air, and all kinds of things that had been swept up into the sky fell to the ground. However, because everyone had evacuated in advance or dodged in time, these things that fell from the sky did not cause any harm. Lily, who had been spinning in the sky for half an hour, finally landed. Strictly speaking, she was flung onto a nearby wall and slid down. Dizzily, the husky maiden stood up and after two steps, she decided that it was more comfortable to lie down on the ground.
Most of their attention was still on the center of the tornado. There, Hao Ren was standing on the only intact ground with the seemingly unconscious Vivian in his arms. He looked confused.
"Mr. Landlord, are you okay?" Wuyue immediately shouted when she saw Hao Ren. "How's Vivian?"
"I just heard some big news. Vivian is fine. She's just too tired and fell asleep." Hao Ren still looked confused, but he shook his head and forced his attention back to the situation at hand. "We need to find a place for her to rest. She'll probably wake up soon. Where's Lily? "
Not far away, Lily, who had fainted like a dead dog, was still lying on the ground. When she heard Hao Ren's voice, she wagged her tail and said weakly, "I'm here … Ugh … Mr. Landlord, don't mind me. I feel like I'm going to vomit when I wake up. Give me a moment … Ugh …"
Hao Ren handed Vivian over to the team's ace healer, Wuyue, for the time being. He then went up to check on Lily. After confirming that the husky maiden was just a little dizzy and had a bump on her forehead, Hao Ren was relieved. He came up to Hilda with an embarrassed look on his face. "Looks like the experiment has gone awry. This place is a mess."
"Don't worry about it. It's just a small problem." The elven queen still had a gentle and indifferent smile on her face. An accident of this level was really nothing to an Aerymian elf. "Performing a summoning ritual of this scale is beyond the imagination of every Aerymian elf. Compared to this incredible ritual, this little mess is completely negligible. The power of the magic tower was cut off in time. The damage was confined to the hall. The other structures were not damaged. Later, get someone to fix the main magic circle here. At the latest, the function of the tower will be restored by tomorrow. "
Hearing this, Hao Ren was relieved, but he was still a little embarrassed. "I'll let the autonomous robots clean up the mess. They are more efficient."
"That would be great." Hilda nodded and looked in the direction of Vivian. "But you should take a look at her first."
Although the energy storm summoned by Vivian looked terrifying, due to the timely response and Vivian's control of the scale of the storm, the damage was limited. A group of mages and engineers quickly gathered to repair the hall. The others brought the still unconscious Vivian to the middle floor of the mage tower to rest under Hilda's guidance.
Looking at Vivian's peaceful breathing, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, Lily, who had just recovered from the dizziness, was full of questions. She grabbed Hao Ren's arm and asked, "Mr. Landlord, what happened? What's the big news? Why did Battie suddenly fall asleep? Why did she suddenly lose control? Didn't you say that the Crimson Moon is completely under control? What did you see on the Crimson Moon? And … and … "
Hao Ren used all his strength to push the powerful husky away. He had no less questions than Lily. "Can you not throw so many questions at me at the same time? I'm still in a daze. When I went in just now, Vivian said something like 'the goddess of creation is the leader of the godslayers', and then she fell asleep. I guess only she knows what's going on now. "
Hao Ren's confusion spread to everyone's faces.
"… Woof, I suddenly want to slap Battie awake and ask her to explain what she meant." Lily looked at Vivian who was lying on the bed and muttered, "Digging such a big hole before going to bed will get you killed."
Nangong Sanba could not help but nudge his sister with his elbow. "What do you think Vivian meant?"
"How would I know? I didn't even analyze the context. In fact, I suspect that Mr. Landlord heard it wrong. After all, there must be a lot of movement in the tornado. How could she have the time to talk when she could not even stand properly? "
"Silly little sister, you don't understand. There's no movement at the center of the tornado. I told you to read more books …"
After that, it was time for the daily windmill ride that everyone loved to see.
Hao Ren did not care about Nangong Sanba, who had begun to spin in the air, and Lily, who could not help but feel dizzy and nauseous at the sight of the "windmill". He sat alone next to Vivian, but in his mind, the scenes that he saw in the illusory world appeared.
The figure that appeared at the end of the illusion and was sealed with the crystal throne … Was it the goddess of creation?
If that was the case, then why was she sealed on the Crystal Throne? What was the world that did not look like the Star of Creation at all? What did it have to do with the crystal jungle in the Crimson Moon Sea? If that figure was not the goddess of creation, then who was she?
In addition, why did Vivian suddenly say that "the goddess of creation is the leader of the godslayers"? Thinking of her unwavering expression and clear eyes when she said this, Hao Ren firmly believed that this sentence was not nonsense.
This seemed to mean that Vivian had suddenly recovered some memory, but the process of memory recovery was much more exciting than Raven 12345's promise that there would be no movement. It was obviously an accident. So what was the reason for this accident? Was it related to his falling into the illusory world? Did he activate a "switch" when he touched the crystal jungle in the Crimson Moon Sea?
These questions gave Hao Ren a headache. But the good news was that the key person who could answer the biggest question, Vivian, had finally woken up.
Vivian did not sleep for long. She woke up when Nangong Wuyue spun her brother on the 462nd turn. At that time, Lily was holding a brick and swinging it around Vivian, muttering, "Is Battie going to sleep for another 200 years? She has recovered from her deep sleep. Landlord, if I hit her with the brick, will she … Oh, I was just kidding …"
Then, the husky was electrocuted into a chow chow by a lightning ball.
"Battie is awake!"
Lily's shout attracted everyone. They gathered around Vivian's bed and asked her about her condition. Among them, they were most concerned about the meaning of Vivian's words. Lily did not even care about her afro. She had a smirk on her face. "Hehe, as soon as I open my eyes, I'll let you have a taste of my nightmares …"
Hao Ren stood by the bed and grabbed Vivian's hand. "You're awake? Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat? "
"I'm fine." Vivian smiled awkwardly. With Hao Ren's help, she sat up and leaned against the headboard. "I didn't expect to pass out because of the energy exhaustion. But I'm almost recovered after a nap."
Hao Ren looked into her eyes. "You … recovered part of your memory?"
"Yes," Vivian exhaled. "About the Goddess of Creation … That should not be my own memory, but the information inherited from the 'divine blood' that the Goddess of Creation left to me."
"So what you said …"
"The Goddess of Creation was corrupted by the Mad Lord. It happened during the battle between her and the Mad Lord. This is the truth we have been looking for — the truth of the Goddess of Creation's abnormal behavior in her last years."
Hao Ren was speechless.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that his vocabulary was lacking. There were so many powerful and meaningful exclamations in the world that he could use, but at this moment, there was only one word lingering in his mind: "F * ck."
Vivian looked at the people around her, who were also stunned. She knew that everyone was waiting for her explanation, so she didn't keep them in suspense. She took a deep breath and told them the information that suddenly popped up in her mind.
"This is a secret that no one knows. Even the closest guardians of the Goddess of Creation and the ancient ones do not know. Because the corruption occurred in the deepest part of her body, she did not realize it until the end. Even when she realized the corruption, she could not tell the truth. The power of the Mad Lord had been implanted in her body many years ago, and it continued to spread as she created life and explored the universe. The entire Plane of Dreams had been completely infected tens of millions of years ago. Except for a few planets with native ecosystems, all places with life and the First Born had the shadow of the Mad Lord. They were all extensions of the Mad Lord.
"Even though the body of the Mad Lord had been defeated and sealed, its power had never stopped spreading. In a way, the Goddess of Creation had won the war in ancient times. But on the other hand, the Mad Lord had never lost, and the war was not over at all.
"This is why the First Borns went crazy after the deicidal incident, and the guardian giants also underwent that terrible mutation. The power of the Mad Lord magnified all the negative effects. It was not that someone had done anything to the guardian's mental network, but that there was something wrong with the mental network itself.
"But these infections are minor details. The real fatal infection is on the Star of Creation."
Vivian paused here as if she was looking for a more suitable expression. Finally, she frowned and shook her head. "The Goddess of Creation was split into two."
