Hao Ren poured out everything he had seen and heard on the Crimson Moon and his experience in the illusion, including the mysterious foreign land full of thunder and crystals, the border blocked by the black fog, and the suspected 'second scene' after crossing the border. He also mentioned some of his discoveries and conjectures for everyone to analyze.
"Now I can be sure that the Crimson Moon is a shrunken copy of the Star of Creation, or a projection. So I think the thing I saw on the Crimson Moon must have a larger 'original' version on the Star of Creation, or there was an 'original' version, such as Lockmarton's lair. Although Muru and Lemendusa did not know of its existence, the goddess of creation apparently gave Lockmarton such a home on the planet where she lived in a certain historical period.
"Secondly, about the world I saw in the illusion, it is obviously not the Star of Creation, but the crystal clusters growing in that world are exactly the same as the crystal jungle on the seabed of the Crimson Moon Sea, and the crystals on the seabed of the Crimson Moon are the key to entering the illusion, so the connection between the two is obvious. I guess the goddess of creation should have visited the planet where the crystals grew, then built some mysterious facilities on it, and then brought some crystals to the Star of Creation and hid them at the bottom of the sea. I just don't know if Muru and the others know about the existence of these crystals … It would be great if I could get further information from the guardian giants.
"At the end of the illusion, I saw the goddess of creation sitting on the crystal throne, and she was sealed by a huge crystal with the throne. But we all know that the goddess of creation was finally assassinated on the deicidal battlefield, so the scene in the illusion is a bit contradictory. I thought of three explanations. First, the scene I saw at the time was not a 'seal', but just a normal phenomenon when the crystal throne was activated. Maybe that's how the device was used, like some kind of hibernation cabin. Second, maybe not all illusions are true. It may be distorted, or it may change according to the subjective thoughts of the observer. When I looked at the illusion, I felt that the goddess wanted to sit on it, and then she sat on it. This may be some kind of 'observer phenomenon'. Third, this conjecture is based on the information that Vivian just said. The one sitting on the crystal throne may not be the real goddess of creation, but the infected and separated 'contaminant'. "
Hao Ren paused for a while to give everyone time to think. Lily frowned and thought for a moment, then raised her hand. "Mr. Landlord, I have a question."
"Go ahead."
"You said that the Crimson Moon is the projection of the Star of Creation, right? And it's static, so the Crimson Moon is equivalent to a 'snapshot' of the Star of Creation at a certain moment. It records the state of the Star of Creation at that moment, and time no longer flows, "Lily said while wagging her tail, as if using her tail to indicate that her brain was working at a high speed." So what do you think the Crimson Moon records the state of the Star of Creation at that moment? "
Hao Ren blinked, thought for a moment, and replied, "It should be before the goddess of creation cut off her memory. Because there is Lockmarton's lair on it, the time should be before the birth of the guardian giants and the First Borns."
Lily put her hands on her hips, looking excited as if she had discovered a big secret. "The crystal jungle on the seabed of the Crimson Moon should also have appeared at that time? The world you saw in the illusion, and the crystal throne, was also the scene before the goddess of creation cut off her memory? "
Hao Ren frowned and finally realized what was wrong.
"That is to say, if the crystal jungle on the seabed of the Crimson Moon, the crystal throne, and the figure of the goddess in the illusion all happened before the goddess of creation cut off her memory, then Mr. Landlord's third conjecture is not valid. Because according to Vivian, the goddess of creation was completely split into two on the eve of the deicidal war, so it can't be the 'other goddess of creation' in the illusion. At that time, the goddess had not split yet."
Hao Ren muttered to himself, "Unless there is a problem with the timeline …"
"What did you say?" As Hao Ren's voice was very low, Vivian did not hear him clearly.
"No, nothing. I'm just wondering if there is a problem with the sequence of these things." Hao Ren frowned and shook his head. "But I haven't figured it out yet. I need to go back and think about it carefully."
Nangong Sanba crossed his arms and leaned against the wall next to him (this posture was very cool, but the main reason was that he was knocked unconscious by his sister just now, so if he did not lean against something, he would easily fall flat on his face). "In fact, the most important thing is that we have to sort out from the beginning. So far, among the 'final actions of the goddess of creation' that we know, how many of them were done by the real goddess of creation, and how many were done by another goddess under the influence of the Mad Lord …"
As soon as Nangong Sanba said this, even Lily, who had always been carefree, could not help but break out in a cold sweat, and her tail became fluffy.
Nangong Wuyue sighed. "Come to think of it, it's really amazing. The Mad Lord is a chaotic creature with no thinking ability at all, but its actions in the end turned into a situation more complicated than a shocking conspiracy …"
"The Mad Lord itself has no thinking ability, but the creatures it has eroded do." Vivian shook her head. "It can not think, but those intelligent creatures controlled by its power — they will become the thinking organs of the Mad Lord, and serve the Mad Lord intentionally or unintentionally. The goddess of creation should be the most powerful thinking organ that the Mad Lord has found. If the goddess did not choose to self-destruct at the last moment to stop all this, I'm afraid we will have to face more than this level of trouble. "
"If that really happened, there would be no need for a basic officer like me to deal with this matter," Hao Ren joked. "I'm afraid we will have to mobilize the regular army. I heard that there is something called the Extermination Order. As long as you sign it, the whole world will be erased in the blink of an eye. It's scary. "
Lily heard this and could not help but look at him. "Mr. Landlord, to be honest, are you sure you are doing the job of a patrol officer? Why do I feel that you, a rookie who has been on the job for less than four years, are doing better than your colleagues who have been working for hundreds and thousands of years? "
The one who answered her was the MDT, who was pretending to be an iron hat on Hao Ren's head. "Not just you, I also feel that there is a conspiracy …"
Hao Ren was speechless.
However, whether it was a conspiracy or not, Hao Ren did not care. He came to this point entirely by his own choice, and he did not regret these choices. He was more concerned about what Nangong Sanba had said.
The goddess of creation had done a lot of things before her fall. How many of them were completely of her own will, and how many of them were done under the subconscious influence of the Mad Lord?
According to the information provided by Vivian, the split of the goddess of creation occurred less than a thousand years before the outbreak of the deicidal war. She discovered the abnormality in her soul at that time, and then realized that there were two 'selves' on the Star of Creation at the same time. Through some process that mortals could not understand, she found the other self and completed a wave of 'anti-interference' through deception or inducement.
She banished the 'dark side', who was bent on releasing the Mad Lord, to the kingdom of the deicidal race, which was a race with great potential danger that she had created under the influence of the Mad Lord. It could be said that it was another backdoor for the Mad Lord to escape.
Through subtle guidance, she allowed her dark side to lead the deicide race to start the rebellion, and in the end, she willingly died on the battlefield.
She cleverly used the two hidden pawns that the Mad Lord had left around her, and by letting these two pawns die with her, she eliminated all the escape routes of the Mad Lord.
However, in the whole process of fighting against her dark side, the goddess did not have the absolute upper hand. Although she had banished the corrupted goddess, the connection between the two had not been broken. She made the latter act through interference and inducement, but in turn, the latter was constantly affecting her. After banishing the dark side, her biggest achievement was actually to restore the Star of Creation from the crazy quantum superposition state to a normal state, so that she could maintain a little more consciousness. But in essence, from the day she realized that she was eroded, she had not really been awake.
So everything she did during this period … it was hard to say whose will it was.
What did she do in the process?
She had lured the God Slayers into planning her own assassination, and she had really fallen on the battlefield.
She found that the situation was out of control at the last moment, so she urgently organized the evacuation of refugees in the Plane of Dreams, sent a large number of "tinder" of the Plane of Dreams to the hyperspace ark Yggdrasil, and sent them to Earth in the surface world.
She also carried out the final absolution to absolve all mortal races of the original sin.
She created Vivian Ancestor and made her the "guide" of a grand plan.
Oh, and even earlier, she had designed and built the 'Creation Engine'. It was a mysterious project, and even her guardians did not know what her mother wanted to do with the engine.
She also left a Divine Oscillation Network in the universe. The network used remote stars as oscillation nodes, and could transmit information throughout the universe of the Plane of Dreams. However, like the Creation's Engine, the Divine Oscillation Network was a mysterious product that no one knew the specific function of, and it was not completed.
This was only the part that Hao Ren had found so far. What about the part that he had not found? How many other things did the goddess of creation do when she was unconscious?
Which one of them … was used to release the Mad Lord?
A drop of cold sweat rolled down from Hao Ren's forehead.
He grabbed the MDT and said, "Send a message to Lemendusa first, ask him to suspend the assembly of the Creation Engine."
"Why? You have to give him a reason. After all, he is not your subordinate, just a collaborator. "
"Just say … a fatal bug has suddenly been found in the blueprint. It is suspected that the goddess of creation's design coincided with the outbreak of the war, so the key part went wrong. Wait for me to find a big shot in the divine realm to fix the design before continuing to work. This should be a good reason."
