Chapter 1522 Dilemma and Way Out
The exploration of Red Moon yielded completely unexpected results.
Hao Ren was only interested in the red moon summoned by Vivian at first. His interest was limited to knowing the specific principle of the red moon and what its structure would be if it had an entity. However, he did not expect that he Not only did he explore the mystery of the red moon, but he was also pulled into an illusion that seemed to contain a huge amount of information. What's more, he accidentally activated a memory of Vivian and learned that the goddess of creation had once been divided into two parts. The surprising secret of two.
Although there is no clear evidence to prove it, Hao Ren has every reason to believe that Vivian's sudden recovery of this memory is related to this red moon test.
Now he has no way to determine how deeply the Creation Goddess was influenced by the Crazy Lord, nor can he determine how much of the goddess's "final actions" before her death were her own will, and how much was to release the Crazy Lord. , for the sake of safety, he could only ask Remendusa to temporarily stop the construction of the Creation Engine: because he was worried that the function of the Creation Engine would be to release the Lord of Madness...
He wanted to re-examine the blueprint of the Genesis Engine. If possible, it would be best to have Raven 12345 analyze it again to confirm whether it was safe or not.
The amount of information that needed to be sorted was piled up, and the things that needed to be reported were earth-shattering. Hao Ren felt that he would be very busy next.
Vivian recovered her energy after resting in the mage tower for half a day, and the ritual hall on the top floor of the tower quickly returned to normal operation with the help of the autonomous machinery. This large-scale experiment that had gone smoothly for the time being ended here. Declare the end. Hao Ren found Hilda and expressed his gratitude to the Irem elves for their strong support.
"This is what we should do." The Elf Queen seemed relieved after seeing Vivian regain her energy. Facing Hao Ren's thanks, she just smiled and shook her head, "And if you have to say it, Ari Mu has benefited a lot from this experiment, and I’m afraid it’s us who really want to say thank you.”
Hao Ren couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing Hilda's words: "Did you really understand the great ways of heaven and earth from the process of summoning the red moon?"
Hilda had never understood Hao Ren's strange vocabulary, but she could still guess the general meaning. She smiled slightly: "The process of the arrival of the red moon is too complicated. Although we have collected a large amount of data, But no royal mage can understand the principle. Instead, the analysis of moonlight and the observation of Vivian's use of energy have given us great inspiration. It only takes a period of research, and I believe we can improve energy extraction. Significant progress has been made.”
Letting the Iremu elves participate in the red moon summoning ceremony is not only because Hao Ren needs a group of assistants who are good at magic, but also because the elves themselves can also benefit from this ceremony. The red moon itself is an extraordinary creation that is difficult to understand by mortal races, but some of the more superficial techniques in the process of gathering magic power of Vivian can still be studied. The aliens on the earth who have been civilized for generations may not be able to do it, but Ai Rim elves - they have been trapped in their home world for nearly ten thousand years. Although they have not been able to leave the star system, they have been forced by this predicament to accumulate basic technologies for thousands of years, and even developed many technologies that are beyond their civilization level. They have technology accumulation that far exceeds that of civilizations at the same level, they just need an opportunity.
Now the resource-rich New Irem Star has given them this environment, and the Red Moon has given them inspiration in the field of new technologies.
At first, Hilda and her royal magicians were overly concerned, worried that this apparently black technology was a confidential project, but Hao Ren took the initiative to invite their technical experts to the scene, dispelling the elves' doubts. : After all, this is a process that both sides can benefit from, and Red Moon is not one of those true divine technologies handed down by the Xiling God System. It does not violate the regulations to let lower civilizations study it.
After that, the Erim elves invited Hao Ren and his party to stay on the planet for a few more days so that they could fulfill their duties as "subjects" to their "lords", but Hao Ren politely declined the invitation: Faced with the big news about the Goddess of Creation, he really didn't have the time to spare.
After returning home, Hao Ren immediately became busy.
First, he compiled all the new information he collected during this "experiment" into a report and uploaded it to Raven 12345. At the end of the report, he stated that he hoped his superiors would provide technical support (the kind that would not explode) to re-examine Creation. The next thing about the engine blueprint is to dig out all the information about the Creation Goddess that I have found in the past two years, compare and search one by one to find the contradictions in it, and speculate on the power of the Crazy Lord. As for the degree of influence of the Goddess of Creation, if possible, it would be best to find the "breaking line" between the Goddess of Creation and the Lord of Madness.
The so-called "demarcation line" is a series of behavioral characteristics that can be quantified and retestable. These special characteristic points can help analyze which personality the goddess of creation is active at that moment. Hao Ren hopes to learn from each aspect. Find these characteristics among the clues and organize them into something like a comparison list.
But this seems a bit difficult.
Hao Ren was sitting on the sofa. The data terminal floated not far in front of him and projected a large amount of organized data. These data were collected in the past two years and related to the Goddess of Creation. Hao Ren's eyes scanned the information line by line, his expression looking extremely serious.
Doudou was lying on his lap, silently playing with a super-small Rubik's Cube (this Rubik's Cube was made for her by Nangong Wuyue). The little guy didn't quite understand the creation goddess, but she felt that her father I was doing very important work, so I was obedient and didn't cause any trouble.
There are two helpers beside Hao Ren: Nangong Sanba and Lili. They are also helping analyze the data and put forward some useful suggestions.
This shows that there is a specialization in the art industry: there are many people in the family who are strong in combat, but there are not many who can help with this kind of writing work. Nangong Sanba can't help much when fighting, but this guy With his half-baked exorcism ability, he went around the world to catch ghosts and make money, but instead he developed an ability to analyze and organize information that was far superior to others. To be fair, his own strength was not that good. If he didn't have this talent for intelligence, he would be His lively and hilarious personality has already made people laugh to death eight hundred times...
As for Lily...as long as she takes out those yellowed and brittle graduation certificates, no one in her family will dare to say that she is an educated person...
After studying the information for a while, Nangong Sanba spoke: "It should be impossible to separate the behaviors of the two personalities of the Creation Goddess from these things. At least judging from the things we have on hand, her behavior is not the same. No clear divisive purpose was presented.”
Lily also shook her head: "Although the Creation Goddess split into two in the end, these two individuals are not completely separated. They influence each other, so every action of the Creation Goddess actually has two personality factors at the same time. The difference in interference should just be that the proportions of the two intervening factors are different. Sometimes the goddess of creation has the upper hand, and sometimes the lord of madness has the upper hand, but it is unrealistic to completely separate the two."
Hao Ren touched his chin: "Take the Creation Engine as an example. That thing may indeed be used by the Goddess of Creation to save the world, but some parts in it may be the handiwork of the Crazy Lord. In turn, the Crazy Lord There may be a trace of goodwill from the goddess of creation in the action of destroying the world..."
Lily and Nangong Sanba nodded together: "That's about it."
"Then this will be a big trouble," Hao Ren spread his hands, "Our plan all along was to save the Goddess of Creation and kill the Lord of Madness, but now the two are entangled and inseparable, which makes people It’s very difficult to do. Apart from anything else, what if one day I really find the tomb of the Goddess of Creation, and when I’m halfway through digging, I find that half of the bones of the Lord of Madness are still buried inside... You tell me I’ll continue digging. What?"
Nangong Sanba looked at Hao Ren seriously for a while, then nodded slowly: "Landlord, your mouth is really unique..."
"Your uncle didn't let you feel this."
At this time, Vivian was holding a few pieces of meat to feed the little chicken. She heard the conversation between Hao Ren and Nangong Sanba and stopped: "Actually, what I am most worried about right now is this... I have learned from my bloodline The inherited memories lasted until the Godslayer attacked the temple, and what happened after that is unknown. The goddess of creation split into two, one of which was assassinated and died, but the other one inherited the will of the Crazy Lord. What? No one knows the follow-up of this 'Goddess No. 2'. According to logic, she should have been somewhere in the God-killing battlefield at that time. When the Kingdom of God exploded, she would probably be dragged into the dark realm along with her. ...Then if we really find the Goddess of Creation one day, will the one we rescue be the Goddess or the Crazy Lord?"
This sentence made the atmosphere even more solemn. Hao Ren had a feeling that all his previous efforts were about to die because he chose the wrong flag at the beginning. The little chicken in the mouse hole not far away waited for a long time and found his own flesh. He stopped moving halfway and suddenly became furious. He screamed and rushed over. He flew into Vivian's hand and started jumping up and down in protest.
Seeing the little weakling pointing at the piece of meat in Vivian's hand and pointing at his own mouth to express his hunger, Hao Ren figured out one more thing:
Why is Vivian, the divine avatar of the goddess of creation, corrupted with a soul similar to an "innate disease"? Also due to this kind of soul corruption, you frequently fall into deep sleep, go crazy, and release evil thoughts?
Now there is an explanation for this - even the birth of Vivian herself was influenced by the Lord of Madness.
Vivian herself is an irrefutable proof that the Goddess of Creation has been corrupted by the Lord of Madness.
Fortunately, even if the cause and effect were not known before, the crisis was finally resolved.
Just when Hao Ren was thinking wildly, a mental message from Raven 12345 suddenly brought him back to his senses.
"Hao Ren, I have received your report. First of all, I would like to express my appreciation for you from this goddess - you are truly a talent..."
Hao Ren couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this: "You old man, can you please stop teasing me? I'm so confused right now. We just discussed a particularly serious issue here: What if I really find the Goddess of Creation? What should we do if buried inside the grave is a goddess controlled by the Lord of Madness?"
Raven 12345 said "tsk" and seemed a little speechless about the big news Hao Ren made, but after a moment of silence she still gave an "oracle".
"Do you still remember the 'Bible' I gave you? The Bible of the Dark Valkyrie. It has a constant connection with the Goddess of Creation, and the power it contains is far greater than the Lord of Madness' erosion of the Goddess of Creation. Be stronger, and if you do encounter the worst-case scenario you speak of, unleash the power of that Bible."
