Chapter 917 The Truth About “Curse”
Hao Ren stood in this illusion. Even though he had closed his eyes, he could still clearly "see" everything in all directions slowly collapsing. The palace of the goddess slowly sank into the blood-red sea amidst a creaking sound. A torrential rain of sulfur and fire poured from the clouds onto the world. The ocean of the founding star burned fiercely. This flame was filled with energy that mortals could not understand. , all sins and glory were wiped out in this flame.
The inner layer of the Founding Star seems to be beginning to collapse, and some unprecedentedly powerful force is accumulating deep in the planet. Amidst the continuous explosions, Hao Ren opened his eyes again. The last thing he saw was the golden disc stained with divine blood shaking violently, as if it was about to fall from the cracks in the palace. He subconsciously reached out to grab something, but he only had time to touch the edge of the golden disk before he watched it fall.
The goddess's blood stained his hands, as hot as lava.
There was another loud noise, and the dizzy feeling made Hao Ren lose his intuition. He didn't know how long he had been floating in the chaos, and he didn't know how many indescribable things he had passed through. Finally, he finally regained consciousness. Feeling down to earth.
"Ho--" Hao Ren breathed out subconsciously, as if he wanted to squeeze out all the air in his lungs. All the five senses that had failed him came back instantly. He felt the temperature, airflow, light and surrounding sounds again. He opened his eyes in a trance and found that he was still standing on the altar before. His fingers were withdrawn from the black and red marks on the surface of the gold disk as if he was electrocuted: this was a subconscious reaction of the body, because his subjective consciousness was being affected. There were so many noisy thoughts that it was almost impossible to think.
Hao Ren shook his head, and the huge golden disc shone in his entire field of vision. The bottom edge of the disc was still black traces that had not completely faded away. The last scene he saw in the previous hallucination and what he saw before him The scenes couldn't help but overlap, and he realized that he finally knew the truth.
"Partner?" The voice from the data terminal woke him up from his daze, "Why are you in a daze?"
Hao Ren was startled for a moment, and saw that the last God Contract had been pasted on the edge of the disc, and the black things were quickly fading away. He patted his forehead: "How long have I been absentminded just now?"
"How long? Weren't you just stunned for less than a second?" The data terminal was a little confused, "Of course your eyes for that second were quite wonderful..."
Hao Ren responded vaguely, an indescribable feeling of exhaustion welling up from deep in his heart. He did not doubt the data terminal's statement, but he was a little surprised when he learned that just one second had passed in the real world, and this time It consumed a lot of his energy in seconds, as if all the previous experiences in hallucinations were truly reflected in his body. Vivian and Yzaks both realized that something was wrong with Hao Ren. They hurried over to check the situation. Vivian helped Hao Ren, who was a little wobbly in his steps: "How are you?"
"I just saw a fantasy," Hao Ren smiled bitterly and walked down from the altar. Vivian's hands were cold, but the coldness just cheered him up a little. "And I also learned some things. I finally did it." Do you understand what innate hostility is about... huh?"
Hao Ren's eyes fell on his hands unconsciously, and he couldn't help but let out a strange sigh: He saw a strange red mark on the palm of his right hand, which was very eye-catching as if he had been burned by something. He shook his hand, He felt a vague burning sensation spreading from those marks, reminding him that these were not hallucinations or anything else.
Vivian also noticed strange marks on his hands: "What is this?"
"...I don't know," Hao Ren had some conjectures in his mind, but this conjecture was too weird and completely violated the laws of reality. "I came into contact with the blood of the Goddess of Creation before, but...but that was an illusion."
"Goddess of Creation?!" Vivian and Yzaks said in unison.
At this time, Hasselblad came over. The old hunter didn't know what the Goddess of Creation and the God-killing War were, but he could feel that the negative power on the sun wheel was gradually disappearing: "Is everything settled?"
Vivian and Yzaks turned their attention to Hao Ren. The latter exhaled and rubbed his forehead hard, thinking about how to tell the things he knew from the illusion. Finally he spoke: "I have unlocked the secret of the phenomenon of innate hostility."
The other three people immediately expressed their eagerness to listen, but Hao Ren glanced at Hasselblad first: "Hasselblad, you may not understand what I'm going to say, but don't ask yet, wait until I finish speaking. Can I explain it to you later?"
Hasselblad had already noticed from the beginning that Hao Ren and his party knew some huge secrets, and this secret was something that he, an old hunter who was thousands of years old, had never been exposed to. However, he still nodded and suppressed himself. Curiosity: "Okay, I'm very happy if you are willing to let me listen."
Hao Ren nodded slightly and pointed to a dark mark on the edge of the golden disk: "Those are the blood stains of the Goddess of Creation."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone fell silent. It was not until Yzaks broke the silence a few seconds later: "You mean this thing..."
"It was at the scene of the God-killing at that time. The goddess stood in this position with her back leaning on the golden disc..." Hao Ren said while gesturing with his hands at the scene he saw, "The God-killer was a man wearing gold and red. The man in the armor, he stood over there near the rune, and then stabbed the goddess with a black sword that looked like a fragment of the universe. The god's blood splattered on the disc, as you can see."
What Hao Ren learned in the illusion was not only the scenes he saw with his naked eyes, but also some knowledge that appeared in his brain out of thin air. He didn't notice it at the time, but when he woke up, he realized that he had some more memories in his mind. He pieced together these memories and what he saw, and finally restored the truth of everything:
"...God's blood is evidence of the crime of killing gods, so the disc itself has become a piece of evidence. When the wall of reality collapsed, a large number of alien races were thrown into the universe, and this was also transported along with it. The golden disc, and the sins carried on the disc. Innate hostility is not a curse, nor is it a mental interference spell, but a great sin caused by killing gods..."
The blood of the gods was originally sacred, but after killing the gods, the blood was filled with the anger of the will of the universe and the sin of the traitor. Hao Ren didn't know exactly what this transformation process was, but the result was obvious: the sacred blood turned into pollution. The object triggered the fighting of all the aliens in the world.
The pollution power carried by the golden disc was leaked from the beginning. As early as 10,000 years ago, when the first batch of aliens except Vivian came to the earth, this disc fell on the earth at the same time. It first polluted creates a crack in the wall of reality, and then contaminates all living things that pass through the crack. It then slumbered deep in the earth for thousands of years, and was actually just dormant until it was dug out of the molten pit by the Ancatero family. The shadows of chaos that leaked out of the disc after that were indeed another manifestation of "innate hostility", but they were just overflowing residue.
The real source is the divine blood on the disc.
"If you are right, the amnesia of alien races is also caused by the pollution of divine blood," Hao Ren said about his speculation, "and different races have different resistance to this pollution - the sea monster is not a life created by the goddess, so They were hardly affected, but maintained their original peaceful nature. The Ancatero family should have a special constitution. They themselves are a race with strong spiritual power, so they have become moderate among the aliens, werewolves, vampires, and demon hunters. Such races come from the same planet, and these Horleta aliens have been polluted by the same, so they have become the most hostile races to each other, and have also become the protagonists of alien melee on the earth. In addition, I guess there are some races that have been affected by For more serious injuries, if they are too sensitive to the divine blood, they may even turn into monsters and completely lose their original characteristics of intelligent creatures..."
"The scorpion monsters in Tartarus," Vivian said suddenly, "Zeus once threw a group of three-tailed scorpion monsters into the prison of Tartarus. He said that the scorpion monsters were very strange. They lived like wild beasts, but You can see many exquisite decorations and mechanical devices on their carapace, and there are fragments of generators and vehicles in their lairs, but they don’t seem to be able to use these things at all.”
"That should be the race that was completely contaminated by the divine blood and turned into monsters. Most of these races could not survive the melee in the early mythological era." Hao Ren shook his head and sighed, "What a sin."
