In the end, no one's "branding" worked.
Y 'zaks' demonic bloodline directly rejected the lifeblood and could not be inoculated. Vivian, as a Blood Clan, was immune to all foreign blood factors. Nangong Wuyue and Ayesha were elemental sirens, and the lifeblood only lingered in their bodies for a while before it was expelled by their skin. As for the others who were inoculated with the lifeblood, they were the same as Lily. There was no rejection, but there was no effect.
However, no one could make the lifeblood disappear in their body like Hao Ren.
"It seems that one must have a devout faith and long-term spiritual training to establish a connection with the Goddess." Big Beardy looked at Lily and shook his head, then looked at Hao Ren. "As for you, there's no way to explain it. Perhaps your Goddess can give you some answers."
"Sigh, that's all." Hao Ren was quite open about it. "Anyway, I've had a lot of strange things happen to me. In any case, I've troubled you this time. I know it's not in line with your customs to let a group of foreigners undergo the branding. "
Cardinal Orben was still expressionless. "It's fine. You and the Goddess are fated. The Goddess will be happy to bestow her grace on you."
Hao Ren smiled at the Cardinal and was ready to leave. Before he left, he asked Big Beardy for his next move.
"The matter of the cultists has been resolved, and the First Born is no longer a threat. Are you still staying?" Hao Ren asked.
Big Beardy nodded indifferently. "The Pope has been martyred, and the times are turbulent. The believers need to be appeased and guided. The truth of the deicide … this is a serious matter. I'm afraid I can't leave at this time. If the other three contact you after you go back, ask them to come back as well. It's good to have one more person here. "
"Do you need me to look for them?" Hao Ren asked casually. "They're everywhere."
Big Beardy shook his head. "No, the Goddess will guide the way of the ascetics. If they come, it's the will of the Goddess. If they don't come, it's the Goddess's arrangement for them."
Hao Ren scratched his head. He felt that Faith really didn't play its cards according to common sense. Wasn't it afraid of getting a goddess like Raven 12345 …?
After saying goodbye to their friends in Holletta, they went to CARS to confirm the situation of the giants, and then returned to Earth.
However, Hao Ren did not have time to enjoy it at home. He only rested for one night before he went straight to Raven 12345 to report the situation and ask questions.
The teleportation flashed, and Hao Ren and the MDT appeared in front of the magnificent house floating in an unpredictable space. As soon as the teleportation was completed, the two of them felt that something was not quite right.
The sky in the Divine Realm, which was usually clear and boundless, now looked dim and bleak. The lush garden had somehow withered, and the fountain in front of the mansion had dried up. Only a few water elements were still swimming in the dried up pool. Gusts of cold, strange wind blew from all directions, and the wind seemed to be wrapped in a withering aura. It was like the late autumn, and everything was dead. Hao Ren was shocked when he saw the situation. "What did Sis break this time …"
"Probably another theme pack for heaven," the MDT muttered. "Look at the scenery, it's pretty cool. She must have done it on purpose."
"Why did you purposely change the theme pack to such a miserable one? You don't have to ruin your garden for the autumn theme. "Hao Ren looked at the withered flowers and trees on both sides of the road with a strange expression." And I don't think Raven 12345's aesthetic standards are like this … "
As soon as his voice trailed off, he heard Raven 12345's energetic voice. "It's not like that. I just wanted to die a little."
Hao Ren looked at the source of the voice and saw the goddess coming out from behind a withered bush. Her hair and clothes were stained with grass. She looked like she had just come back from the field. He was shocked. "What's wrong with you?"
"Just a small experiment. It's ruined." Raven 12345 waved her hand carelessly. "Don't worry, I've been a certified goddess for so many years …"
Just when Hao Ren was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the second half of the sentence. "… Experiments have been ruined. I'm used to it."
"I knew it!" Hao Ren said.
"You'll get used to it. You'll get used to it." Raven 12345 was as cheerful as ever. After diverting Hao Ren's attention, she abruptly changed the topic. "Let's not talk about my garden. You just came back from The Plane of Dreams? If I'm not mistaken … you've made a great discovery this time, haven't you? "
Hao Ren said that Raven's intuition was very accurate. He then followed the goddess into the depths of the garden and told her about his experience in The Plane of Dreams. When she heard about the fall of the goddess in The Plane of Dreams, even the unreliable psychopath became serious. She no longer joked but listened carefully and nodded. Occasionally, she mentioned some small problems in the details. Obviously, even she had to take this kind of thing seriously.
The two of them walked on the path, talking and walking. Soon, they came to the depths of the garden. It was also a place that Hao Ren was familiar with: Raven 12345 often cooked noodles in this small open space. Unfortunately, there were not many things that were related to the goddess.
In fact, the MDT was right. The withered 'Heavenly Garden' was a different kind of scenery. But Hao Ren was not in the mood to appreciate it. He only saw that the open space, which used to be full of flowers, had been shrouded in a desolate scene. The three green walls that were originally covered with flowers and vines were now only a few withered vines. The shrubs and flowers were only messy branches, and the exquisite carved round table was covered with a layer of dead leaves.
Apparently, everything here had just withered. Raven 12345 had not had the time to rebuild her garden. She did not even have the time to clean this place.
"Although you've changed the topic, I still want to ask … Is this really just an experimental accident?" Hao Ren frowned as he looked around. "What kind of experimental accident could make the goddess' garden wither?"
"The goddess herself messed up the accident." Raven 12345 casually pressed Hao Ren on the chair, brushed off the leaves on the chair, and sat down. "Don't worry, don't worry. I'll rebuild it later. It'll only take a few seconds. Compared to this, you said that the goddess of The Plane of Dreams was killed by a group of mortals? What kind of mortals are they? "
"The guardian didn't say it clearly, but according to his description, those mortals could break the goddess' hyperspace defense, attack the divine kingdom in a special dimension, and resist divine magic to a certain extent. So, they should have mastered mathematical probability weapons, and they stole the goddess' power … I don't understand this' stealing ', but I think they started with the lifeblood. Maybe they used the lifeblood to create their own' divine magic. '"
"Don't make such a detailed speculation when there is insufficient information," Raven 12345 said to Hao Ren seriously. "Divine magic is not so easy to copy. The power of the goddess is not as simple as' power. 'The management of the world is like a human managing a computer system, and the resistance of mortals against the goddess is no less difficult than a computer program trying to kill the operator sitting in front of the computer. You can imagine it."
Hao Ren stared and thought for a long time. "… Damn, how is this possible?"
"It's possible, as long as there are enough conditions, but the success rate of these conditions is close to zero. I don't think an indigenous race in The Plane of Dreams can grasp the string of zeros behind the decimal point," Raven 12345 sat up straight, looking serious. "Unless the god they're dealing with has a huge loophole … A half-baked, uneducated god who doesn't know how to use his divine power, and even uses a lame way to manage things is not so difficult to kill."
Hao Ren was surprised. "Didn't you say that the goddess of The Plane of Dreams is a true god? And she's from Xi Ling or Galactica. "
"The identity of the true god has been confirmed, but there is still no way to grasp the specific identity." Raven 12345 scratched her hair, looking a little embarrassed. "So I can't answer your question. You'd better continue with your findings. Don't miss a single detail about the death of the goddess in The Plane of Dreams. "
"Oh," Hao Ren said and continued to tell the story of "the unfilial son blew up his own mother", until he was suddenly interrupted by Raven 12345. "Wait a minute! You said that the goddess called for help from her people when she was dying, and asked them to pray for her strength? "
Hao Ren nodded in confusion. "Yes. Is there a problem? "
"There's a big problem!" Raven 12345 knocked on the table. "The true god does not need the prayers of believers to provide power — because the prayers of mortals are useless to us!"
