Things were progressing smoother than expected. Hao Ren felt that the information he had gathered in just half an hour was more than what he had gathered in the past few months in The Plane of Dreams. However, the truth was not so pleasant.
Ten thousand years ago, a shocking conspiracy had led to everything that had happened today. If they had not heard it with their own ears, perhaps no one would have thought that a race could be so audacious as to brazenly murder the creator of all life, and even conspire to steal the religion of the entire universe. Mortals might have many ways to pursue divine power, but there was no doubt that the group of crazy murderers ten thousand years ago chose the worst of them all.
After listening to the history, Lily drooped her head and thought for a long time. Suddenly, she realized that there seemed to be a loophole. "Wait a minute, if the goddess really asked for help and mortals refused to help, then there should be a record of it. When we went to the Ark planet and Tannagost, we didn't find any relevant information. Neither did Io."
"The sirens of Io are native species, not created by the goddess." Hao Ren immediately realized this after hearing Lily's words. "But the two places you mentioned are indeed like that … and not only is there no record of that incident, it seems that there is no belief in the goddess!"
Hao Ren had already extracted the database of Tannagost and the Ark planet, so he was very familiar with the cultural history of these two civilizations. He knew that Tannagost only had an empty ancient legend about the creator of life, and Ark planet had no conventional religion after entering the interstellar era. The database of these two planets did not mention anything about the murder ten thousand years ago. Although it was indeed not something glorious enough to be recorded in the history books, there should at least be some clues.
After hearing the conversation between Lily and Hao Ren, the giant said faintly, "Indeed, some races really did not hear their mother's cry for help because they have forgotten who created them. They have even dismissed their creator as an absurd story. These people have lost the ability to listen to their mother's voice."
Hao Ren suddenly remembered a very important sentence in the sacred scripture of the Disciples of Glory: Those who forget the gods will also lose the right to listen to the revelation.
"Alright, they really didn't hear it. Perhaps this can be considered as forgetting their roots, but is forgetting their roots a sin worthy of genocide?" Nangong Wudi, who had been silent all this while, could not hold it in any longer. He looked up at the giant. "At least it's not a crime worthy of death, right? They don't even know what happened in the depths of the universe, so why are they being exterminated? "
The giant looked down at the group of little creatures in front of him and suddenly raised his hand to point at his head. "Don't you guys notice that I'm different from my other brothers and sisters?"
"Oh right, I almost forgot to ask this!" Hao Ren suddenly realized. "You know that some of your compatriots have become … that, right?"
The giant's voice was very calm at this time. "How many guardians do you think there are like me who still maintain a certain degree of humanity? Anger and despair caused my brothers and sisters to abandon all humanity and reason, even abandoning the bodies Mother had given us, just to correct the wrongs of this universe. In the eyes of my compatriots, the birth of those mortals was the greatest sin. Mortals were greedy, short-sighted, fickle, and cunning. Just a little bit of temptation would cause them to kill their own mothers. Not only that, they would spread the news of their foolishness. This virus-like phenomenon needed to be corrected. My compatriots believe that all mortal races must perish — before they do evil a second time. "
"You mean that your compatriots are crazy, including the First Borns and the brain monsters, so they are indiscriminately destroying all species," Hao Ren looked into the giant's eyes. "But you are different from them, right?"
The giant did not say a word, seemingly acquiescing to this statement.
"No wonder, so far, I have tried to communicate with those 'First Borns', the 'original guardians' you mentioned, many times, but none of them have succeeded," Hao Ren sighed. "I know they are completely crazy. I'm very lucky today to meet someone who is not crazy … But do you still want to destroy Holletta? "
When the giant heard this, he immediately became agitated. "The mortals on this planet are guilty, they should be executed! They are one of the treacherous children who watched their mother being killed and did nothing! "
Everyone suddenly remembered what the Pope said when they saw the lingering spirit of the Pope. At that time, those words sounded inexplicable, but now it seemed to have an explanation.
The Pope must have found out something before he died!
"But you still let them go in the end?" Vivian frowned. "Why? Because of a human's self-sacrifice? "
The giant's shoulders drooped. "I don't have to answer you."
"You're embarrassed to answer. I can see that you also have human feelings. It's good that you didn't become a monster like your brothers and sisters," Vivian suddenly laughed. "You are different from the First Borns and those brain monsters. You actually know that such blind revenge is meaningless, especially when those treacherous children are actually dead. Now, those who are left are either their descendants or passers-by who have nothing to do with them. There is no point in revenge. I guess the Pope should have negotiated with you before he died, and you listened to his advice to stop? "
The giant stared at Vivian, a little angry. "How dare you judge the faith of an original guardian?!"
"I didn't say that you are not loyal to the Goddess of Creation. I just said that you are more like a rational living person," Vivian shook her head. "Isn't it good to be rational and have feelings? Although these two things always produce unexpected changes when mixed together, they are precisely the characteristics of a spiritual person. To be honest, I can understand the mutation in the First Borns and the brain monsters, and even admire and sympathize with their current state, but I will never agree with them. Extreme and uncontrollable, this is not a good thing. "
The giant sneered. "It is these two things that made those damn treacherous children murder their mother."
"In any case, you shouldn't hate all mortals because of this," Hao Ren smiled bitterly. "Well, I know you don't want to talk about this topic. Can I ask what happened to those treacherous guys? Did they really become gods as they wished? "
At this time, the giant finally showed a somewhat relieved expression. "Hmph, they got what they deserved. Their stupid ladder of life is simply a product of a dream. Their minds are not worthy to bear the power of mother. When the creator of life fell, those treacherous children were punished by the law of genocide. The entire species, no matter where they hid in the universe, disappeared in an instant. "
"So, the race that did the deed is dead?" Y 'zaks was surprised. "What about the Goddess's planet?"
The giant glanced at him warily, then smiled indifferently. "Don't even think about it. No one can reach that place. Mother's residence is in a place you can't understand. If it weren't for those treacherous children who stole mother's secret, they wouldn't even be able to get close to that space. After mother's death, the battlefield has been banished forever to the most chaotic depths of the universe. No one can find it. "
Lily asked quickly, "In other words, you can't go back either?"
The giant chose silence again, and this time it was a tacit agreement.
After a moment of silence, Hao Ren looked up and said, "I have one more question."
"You have a lot of questions," the giant glanced at him faintly. "I didn't expect to answer so many questions … Go ahead, while I'm still patient."
"It's not easy to find someone to talk to," Hao Ren shook his head. "Why are you still awake and not mutated?"
The giant was silent for a moment, and finally said in a tone that was close to grief and indignation, "Maybe there are other original guardians who maintain their sanity like me, because mother gave us a mission at the last moment before she fell!"
"A mission?" they asked in unison.
"She asked us to activate the safety protocol of the seed of life. Before the great collapse, she saw the situation of the guardians collapsing and mutating. She asked us to quickly activate the safety lock to prevent a greater ecological extinction," the giant said, suddenly using all his strength to punch the crystal floor. The last few words were almost roaring out. "I still remember her last words, 'Go and save them!'"
