"Every intelligent creature."
As if to emphasize this fact, the giant gritted his teeth and repeated.
"The entire universe?" Hao Ren found it hard to believe, and instinctively felt that there was something illogical in this sentence. "Including those primitive planets without even aerospace technology? Even they are involved? "
"Directly or indirectly, no one is clean," the giant replied in a muffled voice, and then he stared at Hao Ren and his team for a long time. "Since you really want to know, then listen carefully. Know how many sins your fathers have committed."
"I told you, I'm from Earth …" Hao Ren waved his hand helplessly, but in the end, he still sighed. "Okay, whatever you say, I really want to know."
As Hao Ren predicted, the giant was easier to communicate with than the brain monster.
Although they also maintained a great hatred for ordinary races, the giant's hatred was clearly within the scope of rational control, or in other words, his anger still had a 'human' side. The anger of the brain monster was more like the impulse of a primitive beast. The latter's rage was uncontrollable and had been separated from human nature. Their hatred for mortals was unconditional and uncompromising. That was why Hao Ren's attempt to communicate with the brain monster was fruitless.
The reason for this change was unknown, but it was mostly related to the transformation of their form. The individual who became the brain monster could be said to have become a completely different species. Hao Ren did not even know if the giant in front of him could still see his "brainified" people as the same kind — of course, he could not ask now.
The giant sat cross-legged in the middle of the container, his face was expressionless. He used a low and strange language to narrate the memory of the world's oldest period. "In the beginning, the world was desolate. Only a few planets produced primitive life. The stars were silent and lifeless. Our mother first appeared in this world. She settled in the center of the universe and created the lifeblood there: a substance that can form life. It is an extension of her power and body, and can also be regarded as a part of her body.
"Many years after that, mother gradually became curious about the universe and began to explore the whole world. She soon felt dissatisfied with the desolation of the universe, so she created the first batch of seeds as an extension of her senses, as well as the elements that gave life to the universe. She sent them into the starry sky.
"Our elder brothers were born in the seeds, the first batch of First Guardians. They soon sent back all sorts of information about the depths of the stars. Mother was satisfied and surprised with the development, and to record more and more information, she created us in the depths of the lifeblood when the first batch of seeds hatched.
"We were the second batch of First Guardians, living by Mother's side since birth. Our task was to collect and organize various intelligence from the depths of the stars, as well as to protect Mother's safety. At the time, we only needed to guard against some wandering celestial bodies in the universe."
Y 'zaks said in a low voice, "But then there was a rebellion?"
"A race, a race blessed by nature, their development gradually went out of control," the giant clenched his fists. "Mother never interfered with the development of those children, and she asked us not to disturb them. She focused all her attention on the novelty and mystery of the universe itself, so the little creatures hatched from the seed dregs multiplied unscrupulously. Some of them developed too strong, and even began to target the origin of the universe. When they realized that they were already the most powerful species in the universe, they began to challenge the power above mortals, and there was only one goal … the mother of all life. "
Lily's eyes widened. "They went to war with the goddess of creation because of this?"
"They thought that as long as they destroyed the old gods of the universe, they could replace them. They put forward a ridiculous theory of the hierarchy of life, that all life in the universe was on a predestined ladder, and each ladder could neither expand nor shrink. So whenever a being on the ladder died, a new one would take its place, and new life would be born at the bottom of the hierarchy to supplement the cycle. They built this stupid system out of nowhere and believed in it. So when they became the most powerful species among mortals, they decided to make themselves gods. "
Hao Ren frowned. "So the way to become a god is to kill the previous god … Don't they know who created them?"
"They know, because they were once one of the mortal species most closely connected to Mother," the giant's voice was thick with sarcasm. "It is precisely because they know so much that they can become so powerful, and know the secrets of Mother better than anyone else. They used to pretend to be the most loyal children to Mother, and deceived everyone … including us. After that, they used the knowledge and power they stole to become stronger and stronger. When we, the slow-witted guardians, finally realized that something was wrong, they had enough power to destroy everything. "
Lily still felt a little incredulous. "Can mortals really kill a true god?"
"What if these mortals got their power from the True God?" The giant glanced at her indifferently. "They are willing to do anything for power."
"So in the end, they attacked the Goddess of Creation, and they succeeded." Vivian frowned. "But according to what you said, it was only one race who did it. What does it have to do with the civilizations on other planets?"
The giant's face showed anger. He punched the ground angrily. "When Mother needed power, those treacherous children … those treacherous things, they all turned a blind eye!"
Hao Ren immediately realized that this was the key, and the reason why the First Born and the guardian giants hated all civilizations so much. "What's going on?"
"Mother never thought that she would be attacked by her children. She had never done anything to hurt them, so she was hit hard before she could resist. In that moment of crisis, she called out to all the seeds in the universe. As long as the little creatures that hatched from the seeds still knew the name of the goddess of creation, they would be able to hear her voice and respond. And this response was enough to give her mother the strength to breathe. But Mother waited for a long time, and no one responded … "
The giant lowered its head and said in a low voice, "That was the darkest day of the universe. All the stars should have dimmed because of that day. The creator of all beings struggled and cried for help in the center of the universe, but the things she created were silent in the shadow, drinking the blood of the creator … They did not deserve to live."
There was silence until Y 'zaks suddenly broke the silence. "Why didn't those races respond?"
"Because the treacherous children made an arrogant promise," the giant gritted his teeth. "Those traitors had planned everything many years ago. They had secretly regarded themselves as gods and promised other races that when the old gods in the universe fell, the first mortals to convert to them would receive the same immortality as the gods. They also used the power from the lifeblood as bait, using knowledge, power, wealth, and everything else that could corrupt the mortal races to strengthen their bewitchment. In the end, when our mother was in danger, those greedy mortals were silent — because it was a bargain. As long as they kept silent, they could get everything. And in their own logic, this silence was not even a mistake. "
Hao Ren suddenly thought of the taboo technology of the ancient Magic Empire, the perfect species created by the Sacred Relic of Origins. After learning that the Goddess of Creation came from the depths of the universe, and Holletta was just a planetary civilization, he once thought that these taboo technology had nothing to do with the apocalypse. But now, he suddenly realized that those things might really be the cause of the planet's destruction.
This was because it was highly likely that these technologies had been obtained from the hands of those treacherous children.
The mage-emperors of the ancient civilization may not have the ability to pose any threat to the Goddess in the depths of the universe, but they could still make a big mistake — that was, when their creator needed help, they turned a blind eye.
No one knew if what the giant said was 100% true, but they didn't think that it would have any reason to fool them on this issue. And no matter how credible the giant's words were, at least one thing was obvious:
What happened 10,000 years ago was a terrible conspiracy, and there were few races in this universe that could get away with it.
