The exploration of the Crimson Moon had yielded an unexpected result.
At first, Hao Ren was only interested in the Crimson Moon itself summoned by Vivian. His interest was limited to knowing the specific principle of the Crimson Moon, and what kind of structure it would be if it had a physical body. However, he did not expect that he had not only explored the mystery of the Crimson Moon, but also been pulled into a seemingly large amount of information illusion. What was more, he had accidentally activated a part of Vivian's memory, and learned the shocking secret that the Goddess of Creation had been split into two.
Although there was no clear evidence to prove it, Hao Ren had good reason to believe that the sudden recovery of Vivian's memory had something to do with the Crimson Moon test.
Now he could not determine how deeply the Goddess of Creation was influenced by the Mad Lord, and he could not determine how much of the "final move" before the fall of the Goddess was her own will, and how much was to release the Mad Lord. To be on the safe side, he could only ask Lemendusa to temporarily stop the construction of the Creation's Engine because he was worried that the function of the Creation's Engine was to release the Mad Lord.
He wanted to re-examine the blueprint of the Creation's Engine, and if possible, it would be better to let Raven 12345 analyze it again to confirm whether it was safe or not.
The information that needed to be sorted out was piling up, and the things that needed to be reported were earth-shattering. Hao Ren felt that he was going to be very busy.
Vivian rested in the mage tower for half a day before she regained her spirit, and the ritual hall on the top floor of the tower quickly returned to normal with the help of autonomous robots. This was the end of the large-scale experiment that had gone smoothly. Hao Ren found Hilda and expressed his gratitude to the Aerymian elves for their support.
"This is what we should do." The Elven Queen seemed relieved after seeing that Vivian had regained her spirit. In the face of Hao Ren's gratitude, she just smiled and shook her head. "And if I must say, Aerym has benefited a lot from this experiment. I'm afraid we should be the ones thanking them."
After hearing Hilda's words, Hao Ren could not help but raise his eyebrows. "Did you really learn something from the process of summoning the Crimson Moon?"
Hilda never understood these strange words of Hao Ren, but she could guess the general meaning. She smiled and said, "The process of the Crimson Moon is too complicated. Although we have collected a lot of data, none of the royal mages can understand the principle. Instead, the analysis of the moonlight and the observation of Vivian's use of energy gave us great inspiration. I believe we can make significant progress in energy extraction after a period of research."
Allowing the Aerymian elves to participate in the summoning ritual of the Crimson Moon was not only because Hao Ren needed a group of assistants who were good at magic, but also because the elves themselves could benefit from the ritual. The Crimson Moon itself was an extraordinary creation that was difficult for the mortal race to understand, but some of the more superficial skills in the process of Vivian gathering magic could be studied. The otherworldlings on Earth might not be able to do it, but the Aerymian elves — they had been trapped in their homeworld for nearly 10,000 years. Although they could not leave the solar system, they were forced to accumulate basic technology for thousands of years, and even pointed out many technologies that were beyond the level of their civilization. They had technology that was far beyond the level of their civilization, and they just needed an opportunity.
Now the resource-rich new planet of Aerym gave them this environment, and the Crimson Moon gave them inspiration in the field of new technology.
At first, Hilda and her royal mages were worried that this thing, which looked like black technology, was a confidential project, but Hao Ren took the initiative to invite their technical experts to the scene to dispel the elves' doubts: after all, this was a process that could benefit both sides, and the Crimson Moon was not the real technology of Xi Ling Celestials, so it was not against the rules to let the lower civilization study it.
After that, the Aerymian elves invited Hao Ren and his team to stay on the planet for a few more days, so that they could fulfill their duties as "subjects" to their "liege", but Hao Ren still politely declined: with the big news about the goddess of creation, he really did not have the time.
After returning home, Hao Ren immediately got busy.
First of all, he compiled all the new information he had collected in this "experiment" into a report and uploaded it to Raven 12345. At the end of the report, he indicated that he hoped that his superior would provide technical support (the kind that would not explode) to re-examine the blueprint of the Creation's Engine. Then he dug out all the information about the goddess of creation that he had found in the past two years, compared them one by one, searched for contradictions, and speculated about the extent of the influence of the power of the Mad Lord on the goddess of creation. If possible, it was best to find the "dividing line" between the goddess of creation and the Mad Lord.
The so-called "dividing line" was a series of quantifiable, reproducible behavioral characteristics. These special characteristics could help to analyze which personality of the goddess of creation was active at that moment. Hao Ren hoped to find these characteristics from various clues and sort them into something like a comparison list.
But it looked a little difficult.
Hao Ren sat on the sofa. The MDT floated not far in front of him and projected a large amount of information about the goddess of creation that had been collected over the past two years. Hao Ren's eyes swept through the information line by line, looking particularly serious.
Lil Pea was lying on his lap, silently playing with a small Rubik's Cube (the Rubik's Cube was made by Nangong Wuyue herself). The little guy did not quite understand about the goddess of creation, but she felt that her daddy was doing something very important, so she did not disturb him.
Beside Hao Ren, there were two helpers: Nangong Sanba and Lily. Both of them were also helping to analyze the information and make some useful suggestions.
There were many people in the family who were good at fighting, but not many could help with this kind of paperwork. Nangong Sanba could not be of much help in normal battles, but this guy used his half-baked exorcism ability to catch ghosts everywhere in the world to earn money. Instead, he developed a far superior ability to analyze and sort out information. In all fairness, his strength was not that great. If he did not have this bit of talent in intelligence gathering, he would have been killed eight hundred times over just based on his arrogant and flamboyant personality.
As for Lily … As long as she took out the few yellowed and brittle diplomas, no one in the family would dare to say that she was cultured.
After studying the information for a while, Nangong Sanba said, "It should be impossible to separate the behavior of the two personalities of the goddess of creation from these things. At least from what we have in hand, her behavior does not show a clear divergent purpose."
Lily also shook her head. "Although the goddess of creation finally split into two, these two individuals are not completely separated. They influence each other, so every action of the goddess of creation is actually interfered with by two personality factors at the same time. The only difference should be the proportion of the two interference factors. Sometimes the goddess of creation has the upper hand, and sometimes the Mad Lord has the upper hand. But it is not realistic to completely separate the two. "
Hao Ren scratched his chin. "Take the Creation's Engine as an example. That thing may indeed be used by the goddess of creation to save the world, but there may be a few parts in it that are the handiwork of the Mad Lord. Conversely, the actions of the Mad Lord to destroy the world may have a trace of the goddess of creation's goodwill."
Lily and Nangong Sanba nodded. "Something like that."
"Then we are in big trouble." Hao Ren spread out his hand. "Our plan has always been to save the goddess of creation and kill the Mad Lord. But now the two are entangled, which makes things difficult. What if one day I really find the grave of the goddess of creation and find half of the Mad Lord's bone buried in it? Do you think I should continue to dig? "
Nangong Sanba looked at Hao Ren for a while and nodded slowly. "Mr. Landlord, you really have a unique way of talking."
"I didn't ask you to think about this."
At this time, Vivian was picking up a few pieces of meat to feed Noobie. She heard the conversation between Hao Ren and Nangong Sanba and stopped. "In fact, this is what I am most worried about now. The memory I inherited from my bloodline is until the time when the godslayers attacked the temple. I don't know what happened after that. The goddess of creation split into two, one of which was assassinated, but what about the other individual who inherited the will of the Mad Lord? No one knows what happened to the 'Goddess II'. Logically speaking, she should have been somewhere in the God-slaying Battlefield at the time, and most likely dragged into the Umbral Realm when the Divine Kingdom exploded … So if we really find the Goddess of Creation one day, will it be the Goddess or the Mad Lord that we rescue? "
This sentence made the atmosphere even more tense. Hao Ren had a feeling that all his previous efforts were about to die because he had chosen the wrong flag at the beginning. Noobie, who was in the mouse hole not far away, had been waiting for a long time. When she found that her meat had stopped halfway, she flew into Vivian's hand and began to protest.
Looking at Noobie pointing at the meat in Vivian's hand with one hand and pointing at her mouth with the other to show that she was hungry, Hao Ren thought of something else.
Why would Vivian, the divine avatar of the goddess of creation, have a soul corruption similar to a congenital disease? And because of this soul corruption, she frequently fell into a deep sleep, went crazy, and released the Malevolence?
Now there was an explanation. Even the birth of Vivian was influenced by the Mad Lord.
Vivian herself was an irrefutable evidence that the goddess of creation was corrupted by the Mad Lord.
Fortunately, even if he did not know the cause and effect, the crisis had finally been resolved.
Just as Hao Ren's mind was running wild, Raven 12345's sudden telepathic message brought him back to reality.
"Hao Ren, I have received your report. First of all, I would like to express my appreciation to you. You are a f * cking genius."
Hao Ren did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Please don't make fun of me, old lady. I am confused now. We have just discussed a particularly serious problem here: what if I really find the grave of the goddess of creation and there is a goddess controlled by the Mad Lord buried in it? "
Raven 12345 tutted. She seemed to be a little speechless about the big news that Hao Ren had made. But after a moment of silence, she still gave an oracle.
"Do you still remember the 'Bible' I gave you? The Bible of the Dark Valkyrie. It has an inseparable connection with the goddess of creation. The power in it is far more powerful than the Mad Lord's corruption of the goddess of creation. If you really encounter the worst situation you said, release the power of the Bible. "
