As Vivian had said, it was almost impossible to communicate with people who ate their faith as their livelihood, at least when it came to matters of faith.
Gotarug should be the most religious and traditional elder in this remnant society. He had rich experience and ancient knowledge that others did not have, but he was used to attributing everything that was not easy to explain to the guidance of the goddess. He told Hao Ren the ancient history recorded in the scrolls, but the truth behind the history could only be deduced by Hao Ren himself.
According to Gotarug, the end date of the Sun Dynasty basically coincided with the time of the major event in the Plane of Dreams. So after the fall of the goddess, the planet and a small space around it were thrown out of the Plane of Dreams and stuck on the Wall of Reality.
The closing of the sky was an emergency action taken by the First Born in response to the natural disaster brought about by the disappearance of the sun.
While the First Born was creating the crust, the original ecological environment on the surface should have been devastated. However, some kind of power — perhaps the power of the goddess of creation — had protected the humans on the planet, allowing them to survive in a safer place until the ecosystem stabilized.
After the First Born used its tentacles to create the Heaven's Pillars and the canopy dome, the surviving humans built the last big city, Dorasil, and then abandoned it without living in it.
Gotarug said that the goddess ordered humans to abandon the city, but Hao Ren guessed that the real reason should be climate change.
These were the more credible historical truths after sorting them out.
The old man's energy was limited, and he could not answer to Hao Ren's questions for a long time. So after a few questions, Hao Ren and the others said goodbye to Gotarug. Gezer had arranged the most high-end yurts for these "sacred guests" to rest in, but the simple and honest tribal warrior was still in awe. He felt that it was a great neglect to entertain the goddess with a mortal house, but this small nomadic tribe was not able to build a temple for Vivian overnight that met the ancient records. The arrival of the Goddess was a huge shock to the tribesmen. In fact, more than half of them were still in a state of confusion. They could not believe the news they heard today. They worshipped and believed in the existence of the Goddess, but when the Goddess appeared beside them, most of them were still in a daze. Vivian, on the other hand, did not seem to care. She happily accepted the accommodation and food that Gezer had arranged for her. After that, she followed Hao Ren out of the yurt and enjoyed the unique scenery of the world as the sky gradually darkened.
It was a sunset without sunlight.
This underground world without the sun, moon, and stars still had the change of day and night, and what caused the change of day and night was the clouds in the sky.
Now the light emitted by the clouds was gradually dimming and turning from bright white to a calming dark yellow. The luminous microbes in the clouds were uniformly following a strict clock activity and apparently had the function of sensing and communicating with each other. When the sky darkened, the clouds would "die" like waves, like a light going out. As the clouds died out, the black rock dome behind the clouds became darker and more obscure. It was almost impossible to see it from the ground with the naked eye.
"The microbes in these clouds must be the result of the careful design of the First Born," Hao Ren said to Vivian as dusk fell. "I thought at first that the First Born on this planet had cleansed the entire ecosystem, but now it seems that it, like Zorm, has received the same order to protect the Second Born. But this way, there are more things that cannot be explained — the distorted monsters on the surface of the crust cannot be explained. "
"Oh," Vivian said a little absent-mindedly. She seemed to have a lot on her mind. Finally, she could not help but ask, "The Goddess they are talking about should be the Goddess of Creation. Then why did they mistake me for the Goddess? Do you know anything about it? "
Hao Ren was silent for a few seconds. In fact, when Gezer called Vivian "Goddess" today, he had already thought of something that he would have to explain eventually. Along the way from Dorasil to the tribal settlement, in addition to observing the ecological structure of the world, he was thinking about the mysterious connection between Vivian and the Goddess of Creation.
Hao Ren's temporary silence was noticed by Vivian. She exhaled and gently leaned on a rock behind her. "You do know something. Tell me, I have lived for more than 10,000 years. What have I not experienced? "
"Do you still remember the world you saw when you first woke up?" Hao Ren suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question.
Vivian frowned. "The first time I woke up? It's been too long, I can't remember. But I guess it was probably at the end of the ice age … the Little Ice Age. That's what was recorded in the manuscript that Pavel gave me. That should be my earliest memory. "
"In fact, Raven 12345 and I have found something," Hao Ren looked into Vivian's eyes. "It's about the connection between you and the Goddess of Creation."
Many things could no longer be hidden, so Hao Ren simply told her everything, including the large amount of information entangled in Vivian, the inextricable connection between her and the Goddess of Creation, and the strange record of her passing through the Wall of Reality 48 hours before the fall of the Goddess of Creation. These things made Vivian's eyes widen. When Hao Ren finished, Vivian was completely stunned.
"I really have something to do with the Goddess?" Vivian's voice sounded a little light. "I … I am just a Blood Clan."
"Apart from the ability to turn into a bat, what else do you have in common with the Blood Clan?" Hao Ren glanced at her. "And even the ability to turn into a bat can be imitated with magic. I even guessed that you just 'think' that you are a Blood Clan, so you have some of the characteristics of the Blood Clan. Of course, there is no evidence. "
Vivian opened her mouth and looked down at her hands in disbelief. Her hands were pale and slender, and there was no trace of blood on her skin. It was as if they were carved out of pure white jade. These were the characteristics of a high-ranking Blood Clan: cold and pale. But when she tried to recall carefully, she really could not remember whether her hands were like this from the beginning.
"Then what should I be?" Vivian frowned. She did not intend to doubt Hao Ren's words from the beginning. "The reincarnation of the Goddess of Creation? A fragment? A clone? Or some kind of … creation? "
"You are not the Goddess of Creation, I can guarantee that." Hao Ren shook his head. "You have no divinity in you, so you are not a reincarnation or a fragment. You only have some connection with the fallen god. Don't think too much about it now. Just put all your worries and worries aside. "
Vivian was silent for a long time. There was no obvious expression on her pale face. Only her eyes shone slightly in the dimming light. After a long time, Hao Ren heard her asking softly, "So, what am I?"
"You are Vivian." Hao Ren had already thought of this answer. He turned his head, looked at Vivian seriously, and then gently flicked her forehead with his finger. "You are Vivian Ancestor, the oldest vampire in the world, the poorest vampire, and the best at cooking. Your existence is clear, so there is no doubt about it."
Vivian was stunned for a moment before she suddenly smiled brightly. The smile was so bright that it lit up the entire grassland. "I am really useless. The oldest Blood Clan is actually being comforted by you."
"What's wrong with being comforted by me?" Hao Ren raised his eyebrows. "I speak for the True God. I am the Sun King of Aerym, the guardian of Io, the new lord of Zorm, the governor of Tannagost, and more importantly, your landlord. I am so powerful that I need six lines to print my title on my business card. Don't tell me I can't comfort a bat who needs someone to accompany her when she goes grocery shopping?"
Vivian looked at Hao Ren with a smile and crossed her arms. "Go on, you can probably come up with a few more titles."
Hao Ren's face was stiff as he continued to pretend to be righteous. "I really can't come up with any more!"
Vivian smiled happily. Her previous worries seemed to be an illusion. Hao Ren was also relieved to see this. "You see, I'm so powerful. How many big things have I done? So, no matter how troublesome your karma is, I will definitely be able to settle it. What are you worried about?"
"Don't worry." Vivian leaned on the rock, smiled and shook her head. "But I have not declined to the point where I have to rely on others. I will also try to study the secrets of my body, but when I encounter trouble … I will wait for you to help me. "
