The vast and boundless Plane of Dreams hid countless secrets — and even more dangers. Back when Hao Ren was first dragged onto this pirate ship, he had received a warning from Raven 12345, and every time he thought he had run into the biggest trouble in the Plane of Dreams, there would always be an even bigger threat popping up out of nowhere to give him a fright. So he sometimes thought that Raven 12345 still had a reliable side to her. At least the goddess did not lie when she was trying to scare him — she even took it easy when she described the Plane of Dreams.
With regards to this' Cosmic Progenitor 'that suddenly revealed the tip of the iceberg, whether it was the guardian giants, Vivian or Y' zaks who were knowledgeable, none of them had a clear idea. But one thing was for sure, and that was that the 'Cosmic Progenitor' was definitely not just an illusory spiritual idol. The treacherous children had suddenly 'heard' the voice of the Cosmic Progenitor, and the owner of the voice had given them taboo knowledge and a part of their power. At this point, Hao Ren had a question: if this' Cosmic Progenitor 'could give a mortal race the power to slay a god, then why did it not do it itself?
He threw this question out for everyone to discuss, and so Vivian took this opportunity to speculate about the nature of the 'Cosmic Progenitor'. "Based on the information we have, the treacherous children had only 'heard' a certain voice, and then gained some power from that voice. All of this contact was indirect, so we can assume that no one had actually seen the 'appearance' of the 'Cosmic Progenitor'. Perhaps that thing itself does not have a physical body, and is a great will, something like a vengeful spirit. It can infect and corrupt a mortal race, but because it does not have a physical body, it cannot attack the Divine Kingdom. "
"A vengeful spirit corrupting a mortal race, and then inciting them to slay a god …" Hao Ren pinched his temples. "But that sounds a little … cheap. The mighty Goddess of Creation was actually killed by someone who did not even have a physical body, and that person did not even have to do it himself. And what is the background of this' Cosmic Progenitor '? He can actually give a mortal race the power to kill a god? "
Lily, who was sitting beside Hao Ren, wagged her tail happily. "Listen to his name, the 'Root'. That sounds awesome. Maybe he's really an old monster that survived the birth of the universe? Aren't there Eternals in this world? The Eternals of the Eternals might even be stronger than the Goddess of Creation. "
Y 'zaks crossed his arms and said sarcastically, "Bluffing people always like to make up all kinds of scary names for themselves. This guy who doesn't show his true face can't be the origin of the world. And if he really is the origin of the world, how can his power be limited to whether he has a physical form or not?"
Hao Ren gave Y 'zaks a strange look. "You sound like you're very familiar with this kind of bluffing routine?"
There was a flash of awkwardness on Y 'zaks face. "Let's not talk about the past …"
But the old demon wanted to save face, and his daughter did not hold back at all. Y 'lisabet immediately spilled the beans about her father's chuunibyou deeds. "My dad was young and full of vigor. I heard from the old demon butler that when he was young, he would often let his shadow come out of the human fireplace and pretend to be the King of Flames who was ready to burn the world down. There was no one in the Nine Worlds who was not afraid of my dad …"
"It's all in the past, it's all in the past." Y 'zaks pressed hard on his daughter's head. "After all, I was too young back then. I just wanted to show off my power, and I thought it would be good to make a name for myself in the human world. But a real name doesn't need such a bluff. Later on, I directly said my name in front of the Royal City, and it was enough to make the whole city worship me."
"Nonsense. At that time, you were almost f * cking invading the whole world. Even if you changed your name to Zhang Dachui, they would still respectfully engrave your name on a coin." Hao Ren waved his hand. "Let's get down to business. Just like what Y 'zaks said, the Origin of the Universe can't be the real Will of the Universe. I've seen the real Will of the Universe. Even if you scold Raven 12345 across the void, it will strike you with a thunderbolt. It definitely can't be like this, where there is no reaction when we talk casually. But since this Origin of the Universe dares to make such a name, it must have something up its sleeves, "Nangong Sanba said.
"But for the past ten thousand years, there has been no movement from it. It seems that the only purpose of its appearance is to arrange for the treacherous children to kill the gods."
"Could it be that they have died from the backlash?" Vivian speculated. "After the treacherous children killed the gods, they were punished by the gods and their entire family was wiped out. The mastermind behind them must have been affected."
"It could also be in a deep sleep. Or, like the goddess of creation, in a strange state of unknown life and death …" Hao Ren felt a headache coming on. "I really don't want to get involved in such a matter. When the gods fight, the sky and the earth shatter. It's too difficult for us ordinary people to be caught in the middle."
There was a moment of silence. Nangong Wuyue's tail came up from under the table and poked Hao Ren. "Mr. Landlord, you still have the cheek to call yourself an ordinary person?"
Hao Ren laughed dryly and at the same time sighed. "Sigh, I didn't expect that the godslayers were not the real mastermind behind the scenes. They actually had someone else behind them. After all, they were just a bunch of people being used …"
Before Hao Ren's voice trailed off, a thunderous voice suddenly came from the side. "That doesn't mean they can get off scot-free. And I don't think that the treacherous children were completely under the control of the Cosmic Progenitor to commit such treacherous acts. They obviously had their own ambitions. For the sake of becoming a god, for the sake of that so-called 'Promised Land', for the sake of their own selfish interests, the evidence of their crimes is clear. "
Hao Ren turned around and saw Muru's huge face behind him. Beside him were Lemendusa and Heve's heads. He nodded at the three giants. "Of course I know. I'm just lamenting."
The place they were in was still the central control hall, but it was a newly added facility. It was a floating platform a few meters in the air, and on the platform were long tables, chairs and some projection equipment. The reason for the floating platform was to facilitate discussion with the three giants. After all, Muru's average height was more than 10 meters, and to have a face-to-face conversation with them, one would either have to fly or climb to the third floor, and Hao Ren's usual method was to stand on the ground and stretch his neck to shout. Over time, the space station's mainframe felt that its master was too much of a pain in the ass, and so it took the initiative to build such a 'conference platform' for Hao Ren's group to discuss issues with the giants …
But Hao Ren was not too used to this platform, because he felt that looking up and seeing a head that was bigger than him was a very scary thing, and it was even scarier when the head started talking. When he was standing at Muru's feet talking to the giants, he could still hypnotize himself that the thing in front of him was actually a building, but now that he was at the same level as the giant's head, he could no longer do that.
And there was another more important reason, and that was that the 'wind' was too strong. That's right, the wind was too strong. The last time Lily climbed onto Heve's shoulder to chat with the female giant, the latter accidentally sneezed, and the unlucky husky was sent flying from the center of the hall into the corridor …
A cool sensation suddenly came from his hand, and when Hao Ren came back to his senses, he found the tip of Nangong Wuyue's tail poking the back of his hand. The siren looked at him curiously. "Mr. Landlord, are you spacing out again?"
"Oh, oh, it's nothing," Hao Ren quickly waved his hand, erasing the image of Lily being sent flying dozens of meters by Heve's sneeze from his mind. "Then let's leave it at that for now, the 'Cosmic Progenitor' won't suddenly appear anyway. Let's go back to Earth, I need to meet the Queen of the Sirens, and discuss the matter of the ark temporarily going to Io."
At that moment, Lemendusa, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke, his voice like thunder. "I want to go back to Solenne."
"Solenne?" Hao Ren was a little curious. "Isn't that place just a wasteland?"
"But there are things in the wasteland that can be salvaged." Lemendusa's expression was solemn. "That place used to be a gateway to the Divine Kingdom, a gathering place for resources and information. I want to see if there's anything left."
"Hmm, that's true." Hao Ren nodded. "Coincidentally, the autonomous robots have also built a preliminary outpost there, and you'll have a place to stay there. Then I'll give you … and Heve and Muru, I'll give you the authority to teleport. You can freely travel between CARS and the Solenne Gateway. "
The three guardian giants said in unison, "Thank you."
Hao Ren held Lil Pea, who was running around on the table in the wind that was three times stronger than usual, as he discussed with Vivian. "So this platform is really lacking something …"
"Yeah, it's missing a windshield …"
